Chapter 38: Entering the Dreamrealm (1)
Su Chen hobbled out of the room, breathless and without energy.
The skinny student was dazed by Su Chen’s nearly exhausted appearance
Many students came to clear different rooms, but not many came out of the rooms looking half-dead.
How much energy did you use clearing that room?
Su Chen laughed dryly.
It was a happiness borne from achieving victory after fighting with all of his strength.
It was a success borne from never giving up!
No matter the time or circumstances, he would not give up!
This was exactly the kind of person Su Chen was!
Of course, the battle from today had opened Su Chen’s eyes to many of the faults that existed with his battle style.
He had not been prepared enough for his opponent, his thinking had been somewhat idealistic, he had been too self-confident, and he didn’t adapt quickly enough. This was an experience that would make him more cautious in the future.
After all, this place was only an illusion. If this had been on a real battle, even if he had won, he would’ve become a cripple.
Clearing that room gave Su Chen 150 contribution points. When adding on the 150 that he had from before, he had 300 in total.
With these 300 contribution points, he could finally do something that he had wanted to do for quite some time – enter the Dreamrealm.
It costed 200 contribution points to go from Tier 8 preferential treatment to Tier 7. After ranking up, Su Chen’s identity placard sent him a notification: “Detected that the target of preferential treatment is already registered within the Dreamrealm. Do you want to activate an imprint?”
Su Chen confirmed the activation. He felt a strange power flow through his body, as if something hot was coursing through him.
However, when Su Chen activated his ability to see Origin Energy, he discovered that there were no changes in his body.
This burning sensation only existed on his consciousness. His brain was telling him that his body was warm, but in reality nothing was happening.
Next, Su Chen felt the flow of energy gather on the back of his left hand, slowly forming a smoky symbol.
Su Chen was stunned.
Just like before, his eyes didn’t notice any abnormal energy flows in his body, and he didn’t see any special substance aggregating. However, this symbol had still appeared on his hand.
If it weren’t for the fact that his eyes could see Origin Energy, he might not have discovered the profundities involved.
Was this a unique characteristic of the Mirage Dreamrealm?
Was it using the consciousness to substantiate otherwise ethereal objects?
Su Chen gazed at the strange symbol on the back of his hand. It looked somewhat similar to the small spirit that had snuck its way into his body earlier.
As the symbol continued to form, a wave of information entered Su Chen’s consciousness. It was detailed instructions on how to enter and exit the Dreamrealm.
With this symbol on the back of his hand, Su Chen could enter and exit the Dreamrealm.
However, when entering the Dreamrealm, he would fall into an unconscious state, so he would need to choose a safe location.
Upon discovering this point, Su Chen returned to the Origin Energy Tower.
After returning to his room, Su Chen laid down and followed the prompts of information that had entered his brain. He concentrated his attention on the symbol on the back of his hand. Slowly, the symbol began to change as it constantly revolved. Finally, it formed a whirlpool which began to emanate a powerful sucking force, pulling Su Chen’s consciousness in.
In that moment, Su Chen felt as if he had begun to float.
He revolved around the whirlpool, feeling as if he was a small bird soaring through clouds.
Suddenly, he was ejected from the whirlpool. He snapped his eyes open wide.
He discovered that he was standing underneath a brilliantly-colored sky. The sky was filled with rainbow-colored clouds shining with mottled light. The ground beneath him was covered with large swaths of grass.
Off in the distance, a large castle stood.
A white ball of light was suspended above the castle, emanating strange energy in all directions as it slowly revolved.
Su Chen was staring in amazement when he suddenly heard a voice say, “Hey, newcomer.”
Who was talking?
Su Chen looked around, but he couldn’t find a single person.
The voice seemed to become slightly displeased. It said, “Where are you looking? I’m here, here!”
He followed the voice downwards, only to discover a blue butterfly floating up and down in midair. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that between the large blue wings was a small maiden.
The small maiden was wearing a tight and revealing light-blue dress. She wore a pair of short blue sandals that revealed her bare feet. A beautiful flower hoop was weaved on her middle finger on her right hand.
She had short blue hair, a pair of sharp ears, large eyes, and a small mouth.
She was extremely cute.
“You were the one talking to me?” Su Chen said, still in a daze.
He had never seen a lifeform like that before.
“Of course!” The young maiden huffed as she placed her hands on her hips. “I am your guide, Dream Spirit Lulu. Follow me.”
She flew a circle in the air before heading for the castle.
Su Chen was about to follow her when he discovered that something wasn’t quite right. He realized that he was floating in midair.
Because he was floating, he had no way of walking.
“Hey, wait a moment. What do I do?” Su Chen yelled at the Dream Spirit. “I can’t walk.”
“So fly over!” Dream Spirit Lulu replied.
Su Chen wanted to reply that he didn’t know how to fly, but after thinking about it briefly, he concentrated on floating forwards. His body then started to move forwards unsteadily.
A trace of surprise flitted across Lulu’s face. She nodded in approval. “You learn quite fast. Remember, this is the Dreamrealm. In the Dreamrealm, what you think will become real.”
Although it was somewhat unsteadily, Su Chen had still begun to fly forwards.
He focused on controlling his own body. More precisely, he was controlling his thoughts as he followed the Dream Spirit towards the castle.
