Ning Tian decisively chose to ignore the indignation of the surrounding disciples.
"It seems I can only fully unleash the tenfold spiritual energy absorption!"
Soon, Ning Tian stopped holding back.
For some reason, his cultivation speed had noticeably slowed down these past few days. In this time, he only managed to increase his strength by one star, reaching the level of a Seven-Star Basalt Master.
According to the system, the spiritual energy cultivated in recent days was used to consolidate the realms he had rapidly broken through before.
Though his strength wasn't formidable now, his foundation was solid.
[Tenfold spiritual energy absorption, fully activated!]
The system's voice flashed by.
Then, Ning Tian sensed a powerful suction erupting within his body, instantly drawing in a large amount of spiritual energy from the surroundings!
"Haha! This is exactly the effect I wanted!"
Ning Tian's face lit up with joy, and he immediately sat cross-legged, calming his mind to enter a cultivation state.
Countless dense spiritual energies gathered around him.
Boom-!!
Suddenly, the entire Earth Origin Hall shook violently!
Many disciples were startled.
What was that sound just now? An earthquake? Or did something happen?
Immediately, a massive suction force erupted from the center of the Earth Origin Hall.
In an instant, a lot of spiritual energy in the hall vanished, all converging towards the center!
"Damn!"
"Who's snatching the spiritual energy?"
Some inner disciples who were cultivating suddenly opened their eyes, a hint of anger flashing within them!
The spiritual energy that was about to enter their bodies was directly sucked away! How could they not be angry when the meat at their mouths was snatched away?
"Who is it?"
"Which bastard is it!?"
A group of inner disciples stood up angrily, looking towards the outer disciples.
The outer disciples shook their heads, indicating it wasn't them, then pointed to Ning Tian in the center, "It's him..."

"Oh? I want to see which bastard dares to snatch spiritual energy from us!"
A group of inner disciples sneered coldly.
They turned around. Looked over.
Instantly, the group of inner disciples widened their eyes.
Why is it him!
Seeing Ning Tian, the group instantly lost their temper!
At this moment, the tenfold spiritual energy absorption erupted!
Countless spiritual energies formed a dragon vein of spiritual energy, spiraling above the Earth Origin Hall, continuously pouring into Ning Tian's body like dragon breath.
"What a terrifying spiritual energy absorption!"
"Absorbing so much spiritual energy, can his body really handle it?"
Many disciples stood watching this scene.
Seeing the spiritual energy transform into a spiritual dragon, each one couldn't help but widen their eyes.
At this moment.
Spiritual energy gathered around Ning Tian, as if draped in silver light, dazzling to the extreme.
Like a dragon absorbing water, he continuously drew in spiritual energy.
As for the surrounding disciples, seeing this scene, they were already dumbfounded.
******
After a long while.
The spiritual energy within the Earth Origin Hall was completely absorbed.
Not a single drop was left.
A group of disciples widened their eyes, utterly bewildered.
The spiritual energy of the Earth Origin Hall is said to be mobilized by a formation, adjusted every day at dawn. As such, to refill the hall with spiritual energy, they would have to wait another day!
"Phew..."
Ning Tian opened his eyes, exhaling a refreshing breath.
"What a pity."
"Without the support of a cultivation method, this bit of spiritual energy isn't even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth."
He shook his head.
Indeed. Even after absorbing all the spiritual energy in the Earth Origin Hall, his strength hadn't increased. But Ning Tian's body was already storing a considerable amount of spiritual energy.
Hearing his words, the surrounding disciples were stunned, frozen in place.
That was the spiritual energy of the entire Earth Origin Hall!! So vast, yet it wasn't even enough to fill the gaps between your teeth?!
Ning Tian stood up, stretched lazily, preparing to leave.
At this moment, a voice echoed in his mind.
Ding!
[You have astonished a group of disciples, rewarded with a Mysterious Rank body technique, Dragon Step!]
[Training Dragon Step at tenfold speed!]
[Dragon Step training successful!]
Hmm?
Ning Tian was taken aback, looking around at the disciples, seeing their shocked expressions.
He felt speechless.
I just casually trained a bit, and it astonished you all?
Feeling speechless, Ning Tian stood up, ready to leave.
Suddenly, he remembered that the Scripture Pavilion seemed to open according to a schedule, so he casually asked a nearby junior sister.
The junior sister was stunned, instinctively looking at Ning Tian, her eyes suddenly filled with admiration, instantly captivated by him.
"Um, um, Patriarch... the Scripture Pavilion is open today." The junior sister replied softly, her face flushed.
Hearing this, Ning Tian nodded, suddenly reacting, looking at the junior sister, "You, what did you just call me?"
"Ah? Patriarch." The junior sister blinked innocently.
"Patriarch?"
"Yes." The junior sister nodded, "In our Heavenly Demon Sect, the one who marries the Empress is called Patriarch."
"No, no, Patriarch sounds too old."
Ning Tian shook his head. After all, he was only twenty, still a young man, not old enough to be a Patriarch!
"Then, Patriarch, what should I call you?" The junior sister's bright eyes were fixed on Ning Tian.
"Call me, call me brother, I think that's nice."
"Brother?"
The junior sister was taken aback, seriously looking at Ning Tian, "Patriarch, are you sure you're not teasing me?"
"Teasing?" Ning Tian's face darkened, quickly shaking his head.
What a joke! If Luo Wuqing found out, who knows what she'd do!
"Ahem, you all continue to train here, I'm leaving first."
With that, Ning Tian didn't waste any more words, using Dragon Step to leave the Earth Origin Hall directly.
Leaving behind a group of disciples, bitterly watching Ning Tian's departing figure, unable to help but complain in their hearts. The spiritual energy of the Earth Origin Hall was all absorbed by you, not a drop left, how are we supposed to train now!
