My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 51: Practical Training Room

Late November.

The temperature in Jiangcheng City dropped sharply, and people walking in the streets and alleys changed into thick clothes.

Zhou Ping, who stayed on the seventh underground floor of the Special Department, practiced during the day and logged into the Cultivator's Home to earn spirit stone coins at night. He would occasionally video chat with Chen Xue, and at dinner time, he would get the latest progress of Captain Wu and his team from Xue Ji.

this day.

morning.

He walked into the instrument for testing spirit.

Start testing based on mental memory, reaction speed, and mental interference.

After a while.

The instrument shows the spirit value: 53
Zhou Ping was quite satisfied with this growth rate. After all, only more than two months had passed since he had cultivated his spiritual roots.

And now that psychic energy is rising, spiritual energy will also rise with it.

He estimated that it would take at most another month and a half before he could go to the Cultivator Registration Center to take the formal practitioner assessment.

"If my aunt and uncle knew that I became a formal practitioner in less than half a year, they would definitely be very happy!"

Think of this.

A smile appeared on Zhou Ping's lips.

At noon.

Xue Ji walked gracefully over to Zhou Ping and handed him lunch. "I have good news for you. The captain has approved your application to enter the combat training room early."

"When the captain returns in the evening, you can officially go to the trial practice room."

"By the way, Tian Sen and I will also be doing actual combat. You can watch first, but be prepared mentally and don't let my sister discourage you."

Hear this.

Zhou Ping couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sister Xueji, what's your ranking in the combat training room?"

He knew that the spiritual powers of the captain and others had long crossed the threshold of three thousand. They were cultivators at the national level and core members of the evil organization. They were far from being a match for Xue Ji and the others. It was just that their methods were rather strange and they used all kinds of crooked ways, which was why they could hide all the time.

"More than 300..."

Xue Ji said helplessly, "Sister couldn't even get the reward at the bottom of the leaderboard. Sigh, of the five core members of our Jiangcheng Special Branch, only the captain made it into the top 100."

"what?"

Zhou Ping was surprised and said, "No way, Sister Xueji, you are a spiritual practitioner with over 4,000 spiritual energy points, and you can't even make it into the top 100?"

Xue Ji rolled her eyes. "Little brother, don't underestimate the practitioners in our country. The two major academies, the special departments of major cities, and the three top groups... there are nearly ten thousand people who have broken through the 3,000 spiritual energy threshold."

"A hundred years of accumulation is not enough. The main reason is resource constraints. You should know that 3,000 spiritual energy points is a relatively large threshold in the Qi training stage. Within 3,000 spiritual energy points, relying on various resources, the speed of cultivation is very fast. But once the threshold is exceeded, resources become very scarce."

"Even for our special department, if we want to obtain resources, we have to work hard to earn contributions, unless we have strong combat power and can break into the rankings."

Zhou Ping suddenly realized.

He had seen many resources for increasing spiritual energy in the mall of the Cultivator's House. Although there were conditions for purchasing, such as contribution, they were there at least. He did not expect that the higher up you went, the scarcer the resources would be.

Xue Ji continued, "So, little brother, now you know how difficult it is to be on the leaderboard."

Zhou Ping nodded heavily.

Originally, he wanted to become a cultivator as soon as possible and then rush to the top of the list, but now it seems that the cultivator ranking list seems a bit difficult.

"For those who are about to practice, it should be easier, right?"

he asked again.

Xue Ji's eyes darted around, and she pinched her delicate chin with her jade-white fingers. "With your strength, breaking into the top 50 won't be difficult, but getting into the top 10 will be very difficult in a short period of time."

Listen to this.

Zhou Ping couldn't help but remind her, "Sister Xue Ji, I killed two formal practitioners head-on!"

"Sister, I know you are indeed very talented in magic. Your Spirit Bullet Technique can kill a formal practitioner, so you must have reached a high level of power at the very least. However, my sisters at the Taoist academy told me that in the past six months, the two Taoist academies, Tiangong and Yutu, have accepted several top geniuses who are also proficient in magic and have excellent spiritual roots. Compared to them, you have practiced for a shorter time and have mastered fewer magic techniques."

Xue Ji said seriously, "But don't be discouraged. I believe in you. You will definitely make it into the top ten, or even to the top." "Okay, wait until tonight, and you'll know your overall level."

Zhou Ping nodded.

I couldn't help but feel excited.

……

evening.

The sky was overcast.

The sixth underground floor of the Special Department was bustling at this time.

Captain Wu and other practitioners who had been tracking down the evil organization for more than 20 days finally returned.

"team leader!"

Zhou Ping was finally able to walk out of the seventh floor.

Captain Wu looked at Zhou Ping and grinned. "The National Bureau has been deploying forces to crack down on members of evil cults nationwide. Jiangcheng City has performed quite well. Yesterday, the National Bureau sent support, using special array equipment to screen every residential area and street, confirming that no members of the evil cult are lurking."

Zhou Ping's expression changed, and he quickly asked, "Captain, are you saying that starting tomorrow, I'll be free again?"

"Correct."

"But we still have to be cautious. For now, we'll be operating within the Special Security Department. After a few days, when it's truly safe, we'll return to normal."

Captain Wu said, "There is no room for carelessness in matters like this."

Zhou Ping nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Captain."

Xue Ji said, "Captain, Zhou Ping is more patient than us. Don't nag me. Just take us to the practice room. I have to push forward this time and hopefully surpass Brother Sen."

Tian Sen, a physical cultivator who was as muscular as Wu Tianming, said with a tut, "Xiao Xueji, if you want to catch up with me, you'd better practice for a few more years."

Lin Jinan and Wang Hai both laughed. "Five years ago, you wanted to surpass Brother Sen, but now the gap is getting bigger and bigger."

"hateful!"

"Wait for me."

Xue Ji clenched her pink fists and waved them.

Captain Wu laughed, "Alright, seeing as you guys can't wait any longer, let's go to the seventh floor now. Zhou Ping, you come too."

Then they took the elevator to the seventh floor.

Walk to the only purple door.

The instrument above emitted a purple light, scanning Zhou Ping and others.

"drop."

"It meets the authorization requirements."

soon.

The purple door opened.

Zhou Ping followed Captain Wu in.

Chi Chi.

As they stepped in, the originally dark light suddenly became brighter. It turned out to be a spacious hall, surrounded by smooth oval metal walls, but inside this spacious hall, there was nothing.

There are only metal walls.

"This, this is the combat training room?"

Zhou Ping was surprised.

Captain Wu smiled and said, "Isn't it different from what you imagined? Haha, the rehearsal room inside a real spaceship is much better than this. Our special department's rehearsal room is just a copy, but the surrounding wall material is from a spaceship, and the technology used is the result of the painstaking efforts of many national scientific research members who obtained it from spaceships."
