The strong and stocky young man behind Tie Wushuang smiled and praised, "This Gravity Room is really a good thing. It has made our Hard-Body Training practice a lot more efficient. It's a pity that today's practice was a bit intense. Otherwise, we can try the practice of Shenfa again."
His name is He Fan, and he and Tie Wushuang have been friends for many years. In this year's Martial Arts Department Among College Entrance Exam, Hai City ranks 11th. Hard-Body Training is quite talented along the way. Last month, he just mastered Hard-Body Training, a middle school class, to the level of Mastery.
Tie Wushuang heard this, but there was a hint of apology on his face. "I have delayed your Hard-Body Training practice. I can only turn on 4 times the gravity, so the effect is greatly reduced for you, right?"
His martial arts talents in all aspects are top-notch, but his qualifications in Hard-Body Training are relatively average.
However, he did not let his shortcomings go unnoticed. In order to make up for it, he chose <Tiger Roar Body-Forging Technique>, which is known for its comprehensiveness and difficulty in repairing.
He has practiced hard for more than a year, and with the strong support of his family's resources, he is still at the Proficiency level, and there is still a big gap between him and Mastery.
With the comprehensive strengthening of the body close to the martial arts realm of Mortal Shedding Perfection, the ultimate gravity Tie Wushuang just tried was 6.5
times, while the limit of He Fan is more than 7 times.
Therefore, if the two of them want to practice together Hard-Body Training, they can only choose the 4x gravity that is most suitable for their continued practice.
"Hey----that's what you said!" He Fan looked disapproving and patted Tie Wushuang on the shoulder, "When we usually practice martial arts, when have you ever thought that I was dragging you down? You have been patient with me every time to teach me moves! Besides, there are not many people practicing Hard-Body Training, so I am secretly happy to have a good partner like you to practice with."
Tie Wushuang knew his friend's temperament, so he smiled and said nothing more.
The two of them talked quietly while walking outside.
Suddenly, Tie Wushuang paused slightly and glanced to the side and ahead.
He Fan followed his gaze and saw a girl with a cold temperament wearing a white martial arts uniform, walking out of No. 18 Gravity Room, with the exhaustion of having just finished practicing, it was Xie Xiqiong.
The display screen next to door No. 18 Gravity Room still shows the gravity multiplier last set by the user: 4.1 times.
He Fan immediately understood why his friend had a different expression. Tie Wushuang's Hard-Body Training was his shortcoming, but Xie Xiqiong, as one of his identified rivals, had a slight advantage in gravity adaptability.
This will undoubtedly touch Tie Wushuang, who is arrogant and strives to be the first in everything.
He Fan was about to say a few words of comfort, but saw that Tie Wushuang's expression had returned to calmness and he was ready to leave.
However, at this moment, Xie Xiqiong, who had just walked not far away, suddenly stopped in his steps and looked somewhere with a hint of surprise in his clear eyes.
Tie Wushuang's heart moved, and he looked along her own light, and his eyes fell on the display screen next to door Gravity Room, No. 16 not far away.
There, the current indoor gravity multiplier is clearly displayed: 4.8 times, and the status is displayed as "in use".
Tie Wushuang's pupils shrank imperceptibly. He knew very well that the small Gravity Room in this area were currently reserved for use by freshmen of this year.
To be able to persist in practicing in an environment with 4.8 times gravity, this person's physical strength is quite impressive.
"Who could it be----" Tie Wushuang whispered to himself, and several names of freshmen known as Hard-Body Training or their strong bodies flashed through his mind.
"This guy's Hard-Body Training Kung Fu is probably much better than mine." He Fan next to him also saw the number, with a look of surprise on his face.
His own ultimate endurance is more than 7 times, but that is a short-term test limit lasting two or three minutes. The gravity environment that is truly suitable for long-term continuous practice is estimated to be about 4.5 times.
Just when the two of them were wondering about the person in Room 16, Gravity Room's door slid open with a soft "chi" sound.
A dark-skinned, tall man, covered in sweat, looking like a young man who had just climbed out of the river, walked out tiredly, holding on to the door frame.
He Fan was suddenly enlightened and said to Tie Wushuang beside him, "It turns out to be Cloud Province's top pick Li Cheng. That's no wonder. I heard that he is known as Hard-Body Training Genius, <Iron Spine Hard-Body Formula> has practiced to a level close to that of Great Completion, and he should be the most physically powerful person among the freshmen in our class. This kind of performance is reasonable."
However, Tie Wushuang did not respond at all. He still stared at No. 16 Gravity Room with his brows slightly furrowed.
He Fan was stunned when he saw this, and quickly turned back to look at the outdoor display screen again.
After Li Cheng left, the status of Gravity Room still showed "in use". Even when the door was closed again, the gravity multiplier on it experienced a brief flash and actually jumped to 6 times!
"There are other people in there?!" He Fan blurted out, his face full of disbelief.
Tie Wushuang's eyes showed strong interest.
Being able to continue practicing in such a gravity environment----
He looked intensely at the closed door of No. 16 Gravity Room, as if he wanted to penetrate the thick wall and see clearly who was inside that was bearing 6 times the gravity.
Xie Xiqiong on the side, a glimmer of light flashed in his cold eyes, stood quietly, his eyes also fell on the screen showing "6.0", "Could it be the young man with clear eyes just now?"
Li Cheng, who had just walked not far away, looked back at Tie Wushuang, Xie Xiqiong and others with different expressions. He couldn't help but grinned, walked to the rest area, picked up the free energy drink and drank it in a big gulp. He was really too tired.
Inside Gravity Room on the 16th, only Chen Mochuan was left at this time. Under 6 times the gravity, he felt the heaviness and pressure of every inch of his body.
"Well----it should be possible to improve it a bit more."
After adapting for a while, he operated the gravity adjustment module again, increasing the gravity multiplier little by little, carefully examining whether his condition could withstand continuous normal practice, and did not stop until 6.6 times.
"This multiple should be about the same----"
Without anyone to assist in platoon fighting, the efficiency of practicing Hard-Body Training would be much lower, so Chen Mochuan started practicing the movement technique of <Wind Tiger Movement> instead.
He knows that Gravity Room can not only temper the physical body, but also is an excellent place to hone martial arts, explore physical potential, and break the shackles of inertia.
Although the speed and agility will be greatly reduced when practicing body movements in this ultra-high load-bearing environment, the training effect on force generation skills, body coordination, center of gravity control, etc. is incomparable to the outside world.
At this moment, his movements were far from being as fast as lightning and as nimble as wind as usual, but instead seemed unusually "slow" and "heavy".
Every step, every twist, every change of direction is like walking in a sticky quagmire, requiring all the strength of the body to be mobilized to resist the ubiquitous constraints of gravity.
However, even in this "slow motion" state, Chen Mochuan's spirit is highly concentrated.
He extremely clearly feels the all-round impact of gravity on speed, explosive power, steering sensitivity, and even subtle changes in the center of gravity. He constantly tries to adjust the force generation method and rhythm of the soles of the feet, ankles, calves, waist and hips, and even the spine, looking for the best way to maintain a flexible body shape and smooth force exertion under extreme load-bearing conditions.
At the same time, his understanding of the three flavors of <Wind Tiger Movement> power, speed, and power also became more profound in this extreme environment.
"Strength" is not only about getting the head start, but also about the determination to maintain one's own rhythm without being disturbed under such pressure; "speed" is not only absolute speed, but also the efficiency of overcoming resistance and changing within an inch; "force" is not only a powerful explosion, but also the knowledge of how to efficiently conduct the whole body's strength under load and support swift movements.
Sweat had already soaked through his martial arts uniform and dripped down his chin to the ground. His breathing became heavy and rhythmic, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
From the initial discomfort and sluggishness, to gradually finding the rhythm of exerting force and overcoming the negative effects of strong gravity bit by bit, Chen Mochuan was completely immersed in the study and practice of body skills.
He forgot the passage of time, and only had the persistent idea in his mind of how to make his "wind" still "move" in this 6.6 times gravity cage.
Gravity Room External.
When Tie Wushuang saw the number on the screen, it started to jump from 6.0, and finally stayed firmly at 6.6 times, and lasted for more than ten minutes. The calmness on his face was finally broken, and a strong wave surged in his heart.
6.6 times - this has exceeded the 6.5 times the limit of gravity that he tested and could withstand in a short period of time, and the people inside were obviously still engaged in some cultivation activities.
He originally thought that although he was not the best in Hard-Body Training, with the comprehensive bonus of the martial arts realm that was close to Mortal Shedding Perfection, at least he would not lag far behind his peers in terms of physical endurance, but now——
Only now did he understand what "your limit is, I'll be the team" means, but this time, he, who has always been the protagonist of the spotlight, was reduced to a supporting role.
During this time, he also learned from a nearby new student from Songjiang Province that the person who was still practicing in Gravity Room on the 16th at this time was named Chen Mochuan.
Tie Wushuang has already made sufficient intelligence preparations, and is familiar with the top freshmen of this year. Naturally, he knows that Chen Mochuan is the top pick from Songjiang Province.
However, he had not regarded this person as an opponent that needed to be focused on before, because through investigation, he learned that Chen Mochuan had only 24 points in Blood-Qi Value during College Entrance Exam, which was only the early stage of Mortal Shedding.
Such a foundation is too weak in Tie Wushuang's opinion. No matter how strong the actual combat ability is, it is limited by the foundation of Qi and blood.
In addition, although Songjiang Province is a strong province in martial arts, it is not like Imperial Capital and Hai City, where top talents across the country can stably emerge every year. Tie Wushuang subconsciously believes that this year, perhaps it was the overall squatting of Songjiang Province candidates, coupled with a little luck, that allowed Chen Mochuan in the early stages of Mortal Shedding to come out on top.
Unexpectedly, it was the provincial champion whom he had ignored the most who gave him a big "surprise".
No matter what the opponent's martial arts level is, this physical foundation and Hard-Body Training cultivation alone are enough to make him one of the top ranks. No matter how high you value it, you cannot overemphasize it.
He has placed Chen Mochuan on the same level as Xie Xiqiong, and regards him as one of his strongest competitors among the freshmen in this class.
"Chen Mochuan----"
With this name deeply imprinted in his heart, Tie Wushuang took one last look at No. 16 Gravity Room and called He Fan to go to Mental Waterfall.
He has been staying here for observation for a while and cannot delay his practice any longer.
The emergence of another competitor will only make him more motivated.
Time passed little by little, and before you knew it, more than an hour had passed since Chen Mochuan focused on the disassembly and drill of <Wind Tiger Movement> under 6.6 times gravity.
When he finally slowed down and stopped practicing the movements, although his spirit was still in a state of excitement due to his concentrated practice and understanding, after he relaxed, his physical body felt a strong signal of fatigue.
His limbs and bones were as heavy as lead, his muscles were sore and swollen, and his qi and blood circulation seemed a bit sluggish.
I only stayed in Gravity Room for more than two hours, but I was even more tiring than the usual high-intensity training in the outside world for half a day. Every ounce of strength in my body had been completely drained.
But the improvement that comes with it is real joy.
On the pale golden light screen in front of you, a prompt appeared in due course:
[You disassemble and practice body movements in a high-gravity environment, resist heavy pressure, gain a new understanding of body exertion and control, and deepen your understanding of Wind Tiger Movement.]
[Wind Tiger Movement: Mastery(26%)→Mastery(31%)]
"The effect is so good----" Chen Mochuan was pleasantly surprised.
In just over an hour of practicing the weight-bearing body technique, the effect is actually comparable to two or three days of daily hard training!
Of course, this also has a lot to do with his new understanding of <Wind Tiger Movement>.
He originally wanted to strike while the iron was hot and try practicing boxing in a high-gravity environment to see if it would be miraculous, but the strong sense of fatigue and warning coming from his body made him understand that it was no longer appropriate to continue squeezing his body today.
"I can only wait until next time to try again."
Feeling deeply at Gravity Room's efficient addition to practice, Chen Mochuan no longer delayed, walked to the control panel, and ended the use of Gravity Room this time.
"Buzz----"
Along with a low cry, the heavy pressure that was everywhere on my body disappeared instantly.
In an instant, Chen Mochuan felt that his body was light, as if he was about to float. An indescribable sense of lightness flowed throughout his body, and every cell seemed to be cheering.
After moving my hands and feet a little, I felt extremely flexible. The previous sluggish feeling of struggling under gravity was gone, replaced by a feeling of freedom after being freed from restraints.
He understood that this was just a short-term contrast after the weight was suddenly removed, but this contrast of the ultimate sense of control over the body was also a valuable experience in itself.
[This usage time: 2 hours and 19 minutes. The remaining Gravity Room free usage time this month: 57 hours and 41 minutes.]
Glancing at the time-consuming record of automatic synchronization on Personal Terminal, Chen Mochuan silently estimated that the remaining free credit was enough to support intensive use for more than half a month.
Pushing open the heavy door, as soon as Chen Mochuan stepped out Gravity Room, he was keenly aware that many eyes were falling on him.
But he didn't care. In Yunhan Martial Arts University, strength is the best business card. Today's performance in Gravity Room may make some people recognize him again, but this is exactly what he wants - to reduce unnecessary troubles and focus more on the practice itself.
He raised his wrist and glanced at Personal Terminal, and found that Li Cheng had sent a message before, saying that he would go back to adjust his interest rate and recover, and would contact him later.
He replied "Okay" and stopped staying. Following the map in his memory, he soon arrived outside a special building.
Different from the major buildings in Yunhan Martial Arts University that have a sense of technology as a whole, the building in front of you has a simple and heavy style, and the whole body is made of some kind of dark gray boulders, just like an ancient temple.
Here is Yunhan Martial Arts University, another famous practice treasure place - Mental Waterfall.
