Chapter 75: Chapter 67 Mr. Xia, Li Hu
News spread, and the powerhouses of the Xiafeng Academy were startled, especially the true elites of the Heavenly Level Academy, who all stirred with burning war intent.
In a corner of the Academy, the Thirteenth Prince gazed toward the Gravity Tower and smiled lightly, saying, "Ye Chen, I hope you won’t disappoint me."
The rampant rumors outside were unknown to Ye Chen, who was inside the Nine Times Gravity Room on the ninth level of the Gravity Tower, enduring harsh training.
The Nine Times Gravity Room, with a span of about thirty meters, had white floors, while the walls and even the ceiling of the Heavenly Dome above were pitch black.
Only students from the Heavenly Level Academy were qualified to enter and cultivate here, but under the terrible burden of nine times the gravity, even those students faced great challenges and would not easily choose to train there, so Ye Chen was alone in his arduous cultivation.
At that moment, Ye Chen had removed his black robe and was dressed only in simple shorts, displaying a robust body with streamlined muscles, not an ounce of excess fat, flawless.
He assumed a strange pose, bending his knees in place, slowly bending down, his arms twisted behind his back, quite awkward.
Moments later, he switched to another odd posture. After a bit longer, he shifted into yet another, even stranger pose.
As it continued, within just an hour, Ye Chen had changed into ten different poses, each one bizarre and constraining, but one could vaguely discern that this series of odd poses was part of a whole set of movements, connected as one, currently just segmented.
These eleven poses were precisely the first eleven postures from the Domineering Refining Saint Technique’s cultivation diagrams.
As he switched from one pose to another, his limbs and flesh trembled continuously, accompanied by a terrible sensation of a thousand needles pricking his skin, as well as a warm flow nourishing his body, an experience both painful and pleasurable.
Under nine times the gravity, this sensation was even more pronounced, irresistible yet unbearable.
However, Ye Chen was a former Supreme in his previous life, having endured even the pain of being crushed to bones, so this amount of pain could not shake his iron will.
He kept persisting, and now, due to the minor completion of the Human Origin Body Technique, his body had grown many times stronger, no longer like at the beginning when practicing the first diagram caused him to cough up blood from backlash.
At that moment, he held the pose of the eleventh diagram motionless, his entire body shaking continuously, the prickling pain and the gentle warm flow constantly reinforcing each muscule, slowly but perceptibly enhancing them.
The enhancement was quicker under nine times the gravity, and Ye Chen could feel every inch of his flesh improving, the pace slow, but the enhancement palpable.
After holding this posture for an hour, Ye Chen suddenly shifted into another position, the twelfth diagram’s pose, and the prickling pain intensified, his muscles feeling as if they were being torn apart, sweat pouring out of his pores, drenching him.
Boom—
Half an hour later, the fierce backlash sent Ye Chen flying, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, gasping for breath.
It took a good half hour before he slowly sat up and consumed specially crafted Healing Liquid, gradually healing the internal injuries.
Then, he began another round of harsh cultivation...
Before the Gravity Tower, suddenly, two figures strode forward, one valiant and upright, the other bulky and towering like a gorilla, both wearing arrogant expressions. As they walked past, the surrounding students all steered clear, not daring to block their way, even their gazes filled with a touch of awe.
Looking at the splendid golden-bordered attire and the badges on their chests, which bore a golden "Heavenly" character, it was clear that the two were elite students from the Heavenly Level Academy of the Four Great Colleges.
"Gentlemen, may I know what I can do for you?" The receptionist, upon seeing the elite students from the Heavenly Level Academy, did not dare to neglect them, quickly bowing and asking what services they required.
The Heavenly Level Academy, as the foremost among the Four Great Colleges, gathered the nation’s top talents, and within the entire Xiafeng Academy, they enjoyed considerable privileges.
This privilege is specifically bestowed upon these elite geniuses by the Academy, a benefit unmatched by students of the other three major colleges.
Faced with the deferential inquiry from the registration staff, the two men showed disdain and spoke as if no one else was around, to which the registration staff expressed no complaints, quietly waiting on them.
The tall and burly man among them spoke, his voice coarse and deep, saying to the valiant youth beside him, "Mr. Xia, are you also entering the Eight Times Gravity Room for training this time?"
Mr. Xia shook his head and said, "No, although I have basically adapted to seven times gravity, the pressure in eight times gravity is no joke. I am not like you, Li Hu, proficient both internally and externally. For me at the moment, it’s still too high and not quite suitable, so I’ll choose seven times for now."
Li Hu hummed in agreement, saying, "Then I’ll choose eight times, as seven times no longer has much effect on me now, and the effects of eight times gravity are much better."
Mr. Xia said, "Indeed, but I suggest you try the Nine Times Gravity Room. You are also quite capable in physical cultivation and can withstand higher gravity. It might provide better training for you."
Not only was Li Hu an Innate Expert, but he also possessed a certain degree of physical cultivation, otherwise, he wouldn’t have developed such a towering and robust physique, his daunting stature alone was enough to inspire awe.
Even within the entire Xiafeng Academy, Li Hu’s physical cultivation was top-notch.
However, Li Hu gave a wry smile and said, "Mr. Xia, stop ridiculing me, eight times gravity is still manageable for me, but once it reaches nine times, that would be utterly impossible. Even other elites from Heavenly Level Academy would struggle, probably only a few can manage it."
Nine times gravity represented the limit of the Gravity Tower, which not everyone could endure. It wasn’t just about reaching the Innate Realm, but more importantly, the physical body’s tolerance.
Although Li Hu’s physique was strong, it seemed somewhat strained in the highest level of the Nine Times Gravity Room.
On the spot, Mr. Xia and Li Hu handed their student tokens to the registration staff for registration; the staff registered their identities with great respect, saying deferentially, "Gentlemen, there are vacant rooms on the seventh and eighth floors of the Gravity Room, you may choose to enter for training."
The two took their student tokens and were about to leave when suddenly Mr. Xia’s expression changed, he halted sharply, and quickly returned to the registration desk, his tone serious, "I ask you, did you just say there are vacancies on the seventh and eighth floors?"
The registration staff, seeing Mr. Xia’s odd expression and a hint of surprise, still replied very respectfully, "As answered earlier, sir, there are vacancies on both floors."
"What about the ninth floor?" Mr. Xia asked a critical question, this was what he cared about most. The registration staff had not mentioned any vacancies on the ninth floor, clearly indicating that someone was already training there.
Could it be those few people?
The registration staff shook his head, "I’m sorry, someone has already occupied it."
"Someone has occupied it?" Despite his guess, Mr. Xia was still somewhat surprised; was it indeed those demonic talents from the Heavenly Level Academy who were training in the Gravity Tower? It was unexpected that they would also train at the Gravity Tower.
Those demonic talents were always elusive, it was rare to catch a glimpse of them.
A hint of interest arose in his heart, and Mr. Xia turned to Li Hu, saying, "Li Hu, come on, let’s see which of those demonic talents has come to the Nine Times Gravity Room. We haven’t seen them for a long time."
"Okay." Li Hu agreed immediately and followed Mr. Xia to the Gravity Room, but just then, a figure appeared in front of them, wearing a light-hearted garment, drenched in sweat, his clothes completely wet.
This was a handsome youth with clear and striking features, his brow and eyes so distinct that they seemed to carry a luminous crescent moon, very eye-catching.
This person was Ye Chen.
Seeing Ye Chen emerge, Mr. Xia frowned and flashed a hint of disdain, while Li Hu snorted coldly, "Kid, get out of the way, don’t block our path."
Because of Ye Chen’s appearance, he was exactly blocking their way.
