What Kind of Monster Is This?

An ordinary person who had never trained could be considered physically fit if they could endure double gravity for a few minutes.

As for triple gravity, they would pass out in just a few seconds.

With every additional multiple, the pressure on the body's internal organs increased explosively.

Even though Qin Ming was a Soul King, quadruple gravity still placed certain restrictions on his movements.

But what he had not expected was that Jiang He showed no real difference under this pressure compared to his performance at double or triple gravity!

Even more alarming, after a few minutes, Jiang He's reaction speed had nearly caught up to his own.

Only then did he realize that, after yesterday's actual combat, he had still underestimated Jiang He's physical qualities!

Jiang He understood this change perfectly well, but he simply did not say it aloud.

In the early days, he had trained his body himself. Even if his control over it had not reached its peak, it could not have been too poor.

But ever since he had consumed an Immortal Herb half a year ago, his control over his body had greatly declined.

In just a few days, his body had gone from that of a strong Soul Master to one comparable to a Soul King.

The leap had simply been too great.

Even though he had spent half a year adapting beside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in Sunset Forest, there were still many aspects he could not fully control.

Then his Martial Soul awakened, further improving his physical qualities, and he absorbed two Soul Rings, the second of which was even twenty thousand years old.

That had been another two explosive surges in physical strength.

This was why, at the start of yesterday's battle, he had looked like a complete fool.

After all, if he could absorb a twenty-thousand-year Soul Ring, then in terms of physical qualities alone, he could not possibly be weaker than Qin Ming, a Soul King.

It was only because his control over his body was too poor that he could not fully unleash all of its strength.

But inside this Gravity Training Room, Jiang He's control over his body was rapidly improving.

As the gravity increased, Qin Ming's movements began to be restricted, while Jiang He's control over his body steadily strengthened!

Under the restraints of quadruple gravity, the two fought for nearly half an hour.

In the end, Qin Ming discovered in horror that Jiang He had actually begun suppressing him instead!

Without using their Martial Souls or Soul Power, Jiang He performed even better than he did!

This discovery nearly made Qin Ming question himself.

Was he, a Soul King, really this weak?

How long had it even been? Jiang He's combat techniques had gone from those of a clueless novice to those of an experienced fighter who could trade blows with him evenly.

His physical performance left even Qin Ming, a Soul King, speechless.

What kind of monster was this?!

At last, after a moment of silence, Qin Ming stepped out of the gravity's range and said to Jiang He, "Your control over your body has improved tremendously, but in order to push your potential to the limit, I will increase the gravity multiplier. From here on, it depends on you. If you feel severe discomfort, remember to tell me. I will stop applying the gravity."

"Alright, Teacher Qin."

Seeing Jiang He nod, Qin Ming walked to the main control switch at the side and began adjusting the gravity multiplier, raising it to five times.

Without Qin Ming to spar with him, Jiang He stood still and adapted briefly before beginning to move his body.

Standing, jogging, jumping, flips, kicking...

Jiang He performed all kinds of movements.

As Jiang He's movements became increasingly effortless, Qin Ming silently increased the gravity by another level.

Six times gravity!

Upon reaching six times gravity, Qin Ming carefully observed Jiang He's condition.

Because this was usually the gravity level at which he trained alone.

And he generally did not last more than half an hour, or his body would be unable to take it.

But Jiang He's performance once again left Qin Ming silent.

During the first few minutes after the gravity was applied, Jiang He did indeed show obvious discomfort.

Every movement seemed rather strenuous for him, and his control over his body appeared to have reached its limit.

But that strained state lasted for less than a quarter of an hour.

Jiang He gradually began repeating the movements he had performed under five times gravity, regaining control over his body.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and Jiang He looked at Qin Ming. He said nothing, but his meaning was obvious.

Qin Ming adjusted the gravity once more.

Seven times!

This level of gravity was usually what Qin Ming used for his own final sprints!

At this intensity, Jiang He's brows furrowed as well, and his body's discomfort became increasingly obvious.

For several minutes, he did not even move from where he stood.

But as time passed, Jiang He began trying some simple movements.

Though he trembled somewhat, it was still clear that he could endure it!

From standing to walking, then later jogging, Jiang He's adaptation speed had clearly become faster.

Although his body seemed somewhat unable to bear it and trembled from time to time, Qin Ming could tell that this was not his limit!

Just as he was hesitating over whether to give Jiang He another push, the gravity in the Gravity Training Room suddenly disappeared.

Only then did Qin Ming realize that the two hours were up!

Jiang He, standing in the room, also looked at Qin Ming in confusion.

He felt that he could keep going.

Seeing Jiang He's expression, Qin Ming said, "The two hours are up. Today's training ends here."

Jiang He nodded at that.

Then, with excitement on his face, he said to Qin Ming, "Teacher Qin, I feel great right now. It feels like my control over my body has reached a whole new level."

Qin Ming's mouth opened slightly.

Of course, he could see that Jiang He's control over his body had reached a new level.

But that only made him fall silent.

After all, he had once considered himself a genius too.

Until Jiang He appeared...

"Do you feel tired?"

Qin Ming asked Jiang He.

After two hours of high-intensity gravity training, he worried that something might be wrong with Jiang He.

Jiang He did not pretend otherwise and honestly said, "I'm tired, but I think it was worth it!"

Hearing this, Qin Ming slightly raised his head. "If you're tired, go back and rest well. This afternoon is practical combat class. Whether you attend or not isn't important.

Your most important task lately is to gain complete control over your body.

The physical enhancement your Martial Soul has given you is too great. If you cannot fully control it, then as your cultivation improves in the future, your weakness will become increasingly apparent.

You may even only be able to unleash part of the combat strength that should have been yours. That would have a major impact on you."

"Alright, Teacher Qin. I'll head back first. I'll come again tomorrow."

"Alright. After you return, get plenty of rest. If there are any problems, tell me immediately. You absolutely must not force yourself. Cultivation is not about acting brave for a moment. If you end up with any hidden injuries, they could affect you for the rest of your life."

"I understand."

"Mm. Then go back first."

After ending the conversation, Jiang He directly left Heaven Dou Royal Academy and returned home.

After seeing Jiang He off, Qin Ming returned to his office.

But as soon as he entered, the other teachers sharing the office said to him, "Teacher Qin, the Education Committee is looking for you. They want you to go over."

"Looking for me? Alright, I'll go now."

Qin Ming arrived at the Education Committee's office and saw Xue Qinghe, Gu Rong, and Ning Rongrong there.
