Brother!

A clatter came from the kitchen. About five minutes later, Gu Chen emerged carrying two pork knuckles and a bowl of meat noodles.

After setting the food on the table, he called Na'er over from where she sat foolishly staring at him on the sofa.

Na'er hopped off the sofa and hurried over. Her eyes lit up at the sight of the food on the table.

The aroma filled the entire living room. All that could be said was... extravagant!

"Mm-hm, eat!"

With those smug words, Gu Chen confidently raised his head, signaling for Na'er to try it.

Meanwhile, Na'er was looking at Gu Chen with a face full of admiration.

She truly could not understand why this Brother before her, who looked about the same age and height as her, could make something so delicious and fragrant.

Forget it. If she could not figure it out, she would stop thinking about it!

Na'er sat down on a stool, picked up her chopsticks, and began slurping the noodles.

Gu Chen reached out and patted Na'er's head again. With nothing else to do, he walked over to a stool beside the bookshelf, sat down, and took out a book to read.

He had previously had chances to check in and had obtained a large number of books from his previous life.

Such as Perfect World and Battle Through the Heavens.

The house arranged by the system was not particularly large, with four bedrooms and one living room. Naturally, it also had a study and the like.

There was also a hidden compartment in the living room leading to the basement, where Gu Chen's Training Room was located. He had simply never gone down there before.

Previously, he had not awakened his Martial Soul, and due to his bloodline, there had been no need for him to train.

But now, his weakness in physical constitution had made him take it seriously.

Without exaggeration, Gu Chen's physical strength was slightly inferior to anyone else at the same realm.

Those with exceptionally terrible Martial Soul talent excluded.

Gu Chen could even imagine that when he reached the Title Douluo realm, he might glare several Title Douluo to death, only for someone else to casually slap him and shatter his body, splattering blood across the sky.

In this era, anyone who reached the Title Douluo realm had honed every aspect of themselves to the extreme.

Yet when it came to his physical weakness, Gu Chen truly could not find any way to make up for it.

After all, this was neither Shrouding the Heavens nor Perfect World. There were no powerful cultivation arts or heavenly treasures that could raise his physical strength.

Of course, if he truly had an incredibly powerful body-tempering technique like the God Elephant Suppressing Prison Art, then what would he need Double Pupils for?

He could simply slap out with one palm and turn the Plane Master and Tang San into a sky full of bloody mist.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen put the book back on the shelf, then turned his gaze toward Na'er, who had nearly finished eating.

"Na'er, Brother is going down to the basement for a while. If you need anything, you can come down and find Brother."

"Mm-hm!" Na'er nodded brightly after hearing that. In just this short time, she had finished slurping the noodles and was holding a pork knuckle as she gnawed on it.

Delicious! So delicious!

"What a little glutton."

Seeing Na'er like this, Gu Chen could not help shaking his head. He then continued, "If it isn't enough, there is plenty of food in the Refrigerator. You can also take out fruit and snacks to eat."

"Okay!"

Gu Chen pressed a hidden button on the bookshelf. The floor in the center of the living room suddenly began to shift, gradually forming a staircase leading downward.

Considering that Na'er might come looking for him, Gu Chen did not close the entrance.

The space beneath the house was enormous, roughly equivalent to a football field.

The entire area was like the underground sections of more than a dozen houses had been hollowed out.

The moment he stepped into the Training Room, gravity greater than that of Douluo Planet pressed down on Gu Chen's body.

The last time he had entered was two years ago, when he was four. At the time, Gu Chen could neither use his bloodline nor awaken his Martial Soul. The moment he entered, the gravity had crushed him to the ground.

The underground Training Room had a completely different style from the building above. The ceiling and floor were white as jade, while all sorts of holographic screens surrounded the area.

There were also plenty of exercise equipment from his previous life.

The next moment, a pale blue panel popped up before him.

[Gravity Adjustment: 1x3]

It was only triple gravity right now, yet without mobilizing the Soul Power in his body, Gu Chen already felt immense pressure.

At present, his blood was racing through his body as though he had just run several hundred meters in his previous life.

Triple gravity could train his physique without injuring him.

Unlike the descendants of great clans, who took all sorts of heavenly treasures from childhood to temper their bodies and raise their Mental Power in the process, Gu Chen was merely an ordinary person with a bloodline and Martial Soul.

He was not much better than others, and compared to people like Tang Wulin and Huo Yuhao, whose starts had been difficult, he was about the same.

"Activate Training Mode!" Gu Chen said to Xiao Ai.

Xiao Ai was the Training Ground's intelligent AI, far smarter than the artificial idiots from his previous life.

[Activation successful! Copying Master's physical data... Please wait!]

Xiao Ai's voice sounded out. A drone flew from the wall to Gu Chen's front, and a beam of white light shone over his body.

Before long, the drone flew away, and Gu Chen's detailed data appeared before him.

Gu Chen took one look and could not help feeling disappointed. He had already expected his physical strength to be weak, but he had not expected it to be this weak.

[Name: Gu Chen] [Martial Soul: Double Pupils] [Soul Power Level: 13] [Left Hand (469 kilograms)] System Evaluation: Decent!] [Right Hand (567 kilograms)] System Evaluation: Strong!] [Physical Body (165)] (Continuously increasing!) System Evaluation: Weak! Very weak!] [Mental Power (400 points)] System Evaluation: Far surpasses the prodigies of his generation!] [Overall Evaluation: Aside from strength and Mental Power, vastly inferior to ordinary people in every way!]

Although his other attributes were not much to speak of, his Mental Power and strength far surpassed Tang Wulin's at this point.

Even his current strength was considerably greater than Tang Wulin's when he was nine!

His current strength was roughly comparable to the bite force of an adult tiger from his previous life.

Yet while his strength was decent, his physical body was absurdly weak.

The sense of incongruity was overwhelming, like a black bear so thin that only its skeleton remained, yet with extremely muscular limbs!

Although it was not quite that outrageous, it was close enough.

The other aspects counted as weaknesses, but his Mental Power could be considered an exceptionally strong advantage.

What kind of concept was that?

Other Soul Masters who had just awakened their Martial Souls were still hovering around a little over one hundred points of Mental Power, or even below one hundred, while he had directly reached four hundred points!

"Activate Virtual Training Mode."

As his calm words fell, the ground beneath Gu Chen's feet began to change. The entire floor around him sank inward, making it look like an arena when viewed from above.

Several walls forged from refined iron rose around the Training Ground, firmly protecting the pristine white walls beyond them.

[Phantom Replication Level: 100%] (Adjust: Yes/No)

Then, a purple-haired figure appeared before Gu Chen. Its face could not be seen clearly, but from the Chaos Qi rising from its eyes, it was clear that this was Gu Chen's Double Pupils!

The Virtual Training Ground could replicate a Phantom with physical data completely identical to his own.

Even in the future, if he encountered an enemy he truly could not defeat, he could directly lure them into the Virtual Training Ground and let them fight him!

Unless they achieved a breakthrough in strength, who could claim they could instantly kill him?

Gu Chen had not attached any Spirit Rings yet, so he could only continue training his body. The triple gravity imposed on him could likewise slowly increase his physical strength.
