Lin Ye stood in the inner circle of the circular corridor, leaning on the handrail as he looked downward.
On the circular corridor of the next floor, there were also students resting against the handrail, likely having exhausted their ntal energy and unable to continue reading and studying.
Lin Ye looked down, only able to see layer upon layer of circular corridors, completely unable to see the very bottom of the Tower.
'Sigh, why is there no thod to recover ntal energy here?'
Lin Ye felt sowhat puzzled. He had just circled around the circular corridor, exploring the entire floor, yet still hadn't found any thod to quickly restore his ntal energy.
'Perhaps rapid ntal energy recovery is hidden information... but why?'
Lin Ye didn't believe that a place like the Tower would lack ans to quickly restore ntal energy.
'Forget it, wasting ti here is worse than going back to rest. Maybe sleeping a few minutes in the dorm will fully restore it.'
Sleep was the basic thod for recovering ntal energy, but Lin Ye didn't think sleeping in the dorm could quickly restore ntal energy. This was the Tower where even biscuits cost one point—it probably wouldn't provide free ntal energy recovery for students.
Lin Ye walked toward his dorm. In the corridor of the residential area, a burly figure wrapped in bandages blocked the center of the hallway.
Not only that, but the bald old man appeared behind Lin Ye, cutting off his retreat.
"Kid, your ntal energy should be completely drained by now, right?"
The beastman revealed a cruel smile. Although it couldn't kill Lin Ye, it could crush Lin Ye's limbs.
"Hehe, young man, we've been waiting here for you for quite so ti."
The old man sneered as he approached Lin Ye. If Lin Ye had sufficient ntal energy, he definitely wouldn't have actively approached him, but now was different.
"My head hurts right now, so I'm giving you a chance to get lost. I advise you not to waste this opportunity."
Lin Ye closed his eyes and rubbed his head. The constant slight headache made him sowhat irritable—he really didn't want to fight right now.
"That's not up to you now!"
The beastman suddenly lunged at Lin Ye, throwing a punch aid at his head. It wanted to knock Lin Ye unconscious, then slowly tear his body apart piece by piece.
The old man also quickly closed in on Lin Ye, with strands of sinewy flesh erging from his body surface, thrusting toward various parts of Lin Ye's body from behind.
Lin Ye slightly adjusted his stance. His ntal energy was indeed insufficient now, but not to the point of being unusable. However, he didn't plan to waste too much precious ntal energy here.
The beastman's strength surpassed Lin Ye's, and the old man's sinewy flesh was more agile than Lin Ye, but neither exceeded a certain limit. As long as they remained within that limit, technique could compensate.
Lin Ye stabilized his lower body, raising his hands diagonally to face the attacks from both sides, with two unstable spiritual energy shields appearing in his hands.
Just as the attacks from front and back were about to contact the spiritual energy shields, Lin Ye suddenly rotated around his center of gravity, spinning both forward and backward.
His right hand, carrying the rotating spiritual energy shield, made contact with the beastman, deflecting its attack while borrowing its force to spin toward the rear.
His left hand similarly deflected the old man's attack, borrowing force to spin forward.
Both hands, now misaligned front and back, respectively stabbed toward the chests of the enemies—right hand for the beastman, left hand for the old man. Combining borrowed force with Lin Ye's own strength, they instantly pierced through both at incredible speed!
Rotating Spiritual Energy Shield!
Borrowed Force Heavy Blow!
Heart Snatching!
Lin Ye completed one full rotation. When he stabilized his stance, he held two still-beating hearts in his hands!
The beastman and old man collapsed to the ground. Until they fell, they never understood what had happened.
"I told you not to waste the opportunity, yet you had to co block my path."
Lin Ye wanted to casually crush the hearts in his hands, but a barrier blocked his fingers.
[Destruction of student hearts prohibited]
"Consider yourselves lucky. In any other place, you wouldn't have survived until now."
Casually discarding the hearts, Lin Ye shook the blood from his hands and quickly walked toward his dorm.
This ti, no one blocked his path.
These two had co too quickly. Lin Ye didn't believe they were the only ones sent to deal with him. He had been constantly vigilant for enemies jumping out from the dorm rooms lining the corridor, but the others seed unwilling to erge now.
This was good—it would conserve ntal energy.
Lin Ye returned to his dorm, locked the door securely, then lay on the bed and closed his eyes to rest. The recent fight had given him so new ideas.
To conserve ntal energy earlier, he hadn't constructed complete spiritual energy shields, but rather two unstable ones. This not only saved ntal energy but also used the energy from the shields' collapse to accelerate his rotation.
'Also regarding ntal energy—since it can't be quickly restored, shouldn't I try to minimize ntal energy consumption while reading?'
The thod of consuming ntal energy while reading was very subtle. Combined with Lin Ye's intense concentration, he hadn't noticed that his ntal energy consumption rate was abnormal.
After resting in bed for four hours, Lin Ye's ntal energy finally fully recovered.
'Feels like recovering ntal energy here is slower than outside too.'
His stomach once again produced hunger pangs. Lin Ye consud his remaining food and water.
'Ti to go study. If there are no ways to obtain points, I'll starve to death here before long.'
Lin Ye still had seven Tower Points left. He planned to first buy two portions of food and water, keeping three points in reserve.
After leaving his dorm, Lin Ye quickly entered the classroom with the purchased food and water.
Finding a seat and sitting down, Spiritual Energy Fundantals reappeared on the desktop.
Lin Ye continued studying Spiritual Energy Fundantals, but this ti he constantly monitored his ntal energy consumption.
He quickly discovered that learning the knowledge from the book consud his ntal energy—the faster he learned, the more ntal energy he consud.
'So the ntal energy consumption isn't necessarily proportional—it could also be because my learning speed is too fast.'
Lin Ye glanced at the books in other students' hands. Most of them had only completed about one-quarter of a book, while Lin Ye was almost finished with an entire volu.
'But that still doesn't make sense. My ntal energy is much higher than those students—even quadruple shouldn't drain completely. Sothing here is still absorbing students' ntal energy according to so ratio.'
Lin Ye tried to reduce this consumption, but after much effort, he didn't succeed and only affected his learning speed.
'No good. Continuing like this will only waste ntal energy for nothing. Better to focus on reading and find ways to obtain points.'
Lin Ye abandoned this attempt and began concentrating on studying seriously.
Twenty minutes later, Lin Ye finished the entire Spiritual Energy Fundantals book.
[Students who have completed the course may take the assessnt. After passing the assessnt, they may begin studying the next course]
Lin Ye put down "Spiritual Energy Fundantals," stood up, and left the classroom. Under the watchful eyes and whispered comnts of the other students, he walked toward the assessnt room.
"He's already finished studying?"
"Impossible, right? I've only studied less than half."
"He must have already learned the knowledge in the book before."
"Ah? That's so unfair!"
