Spirit Ring

"I've got 1,000 Tiger Sun Pills. I'm rich!"

Ye Xiao couldn't have been happier.

He'd experienced their effects firsthand.

Tiger Sun Pills were incredibly effective!

His body had been completely drained from practicing his punches.

But just one Tiger Sun Pill had revived him, restoring his strength in an instant.

Now he'd obtained another 1,000 Tiger Sun Pills.

Ye Xiao felt even more confident about continuing his training in the Gravity Training Tower.

When Ye Xiao entered the Gravity Training Tower for the second time,

he could clearly feel

that the gravity pressing down on him had weakened considerably.

But in reality,

the gravity imposed by the Gravity Training Tower hadn't weakened at all.

Rather, as Ye Xiao's body continued to evolve,

he had gradually adapted to the oppressive environment.

When he reached the spot where he'd trained that morning,

he found that the training post he'd destroyed had been cleared away and replaced with a new one.

"The 3x gravity zone isn't enough for my training anymore."

Ye Xiao thought to himself.

At this point, his movements and breathing were almost the same as they were outside.

Without the feeling of his muscles being compressed and his breathing turning ragged, the training wouldn't be very effective.

So,

Ye Xiao decided to keep increasing the pressure on himself.

He headed for the 4x gravity zone.

"I feel like I can go a little higher."

In the end, Ye Xiao made his way to the 5x gravity zone.

Once he reached it,

he could clearly feel the heaviness return to his body, just like that morning.

"This is it—the weight seeping out from between my bones!"

"My blood is flowing more slowly, I need more strength to breathe, and lifting my arms feels like lifting dumbbells."

"This is exactly what I'm looking for!"

A mad grin appeared on Ye Xiao's face.

In other people's eyes,

his behavior was no different from that of a martial arts fanatic.

Ordinary people might train intensely, but they didn't pursue the pleasure of torturing their bodies like Ye Xiao did!

Besides, could constantly torturing yourself really feel good?

Ye Xiao walked up to a training post in the 5x gravity zone.

Just then,

Ye Xiao glanced to his right.

At the fifth training post to his right,

a girl was tilting her head and staring at him.

"Ye Xiao, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to see you here."

At her words, Ye Xiao laughed in surprise.

The one who'd greeted him wasn't anyone else but Su Muyun.

"You train in the 5x gravity zone too?" Ye Xiao asked. "But I heard only third-year students and above can enter the Gravity Training Tower."

Su Muyun gave him a teasing smile.

"Then how did you get in?"

Ye Xiao explained, "My homeroom teacher lent me their card..."

Su Muyun explained, "Students in the Genius Class are allowed to enter the Gravity Training Tower early to train."

"I see." Ye Xiao nodded.

Su Muyun stared at the large black jar by Ye Xiao's feet.

"What's in that big jar?" she asked, puzzled.

Ye Xiao answered truthfully, "Tiger Sun Pills."

At that,

a blush suddenly rose to Su Muyun's pretty face.

"Tiger Sun Pills?"

Ye Xiao looked bewildered. "Yeah. What's wrong?"

"Old Man Black gave them to me. I ate one after practicing my punches, and I felt my strength return. I was full of energy again in no time."

"I think these Tiger Sun Pills are really suited to me."

"Want one?"

Su Muyun's skin turned pink all over, and she waved her hands repeatedly.

"No, no, I don't want one."

Then she stared at Ye Xiao with a strange expression.

"You use stuff like that to help with your training?"

Ye Xiao nodded.

"Yeah. Is there a problem?"

Su Muyun's cheeks burned. She shook her head. "No problem. As long as your body can handle it."

Ye Xiao scratched his head.

"I feel like you're acting weird. Is there something you want to say?"

Su Muyun shook her head over and over.

"No. I don't want to say anything."

Ye Xiao began, "It's fine. Just say whatever's on your mind."

Su Muyun clenched her delicate fists and gritted her teeth, threatening Ye Xiao.

"I said I don't want to say anything!"

"If you ask me again, I'll beat you into a pig's head!"

Ye Xiao was startled by Su Muyun's sudden outburst, like an angry little cat.

"All right, then. You don't have to say anything."

Su Muyun realized she'd just lost her temper.

Her expression soon softened.

She said calmly, "I saw you carrying such a huge jar around. It must be inconvenient wherever you go."

"Lucky for you, I have an extra Spirit Ring. You can borrow it."

As she spoke,

a black Spirit Ring flew toward Ye Xiao.

He caught it with one hand.

"You're giving me a ring?"

"Isn't that a little weird?"

Su Muyun didn't look at Ye Xiao.

"Don't get the wrong idea."

"I'm just lending you this Spirit Ring so you can store and carry things more easily. Remember, you have to return it to me!"

"Everyone knows your circumstances are unusual, but I don't want to mock you like those people do. I just think you have guts, and I admire that about you."

"All right, I've finished warming up on the first floor. I'm going to train on the second floor."

With that,

Ye Xiao watched Su Muyun's lovely figure walk away.

She went up to the second floor of the Gravity Training Tower.

Watching how easily Su Muyun walked, it was as if the 5x gravity had no effect on her at all.

Ye Xiao, on the other hand, was already walking slowly and breathing hard.

"So the gap between us is really that big?"

Ye Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I need to get stronger as soon as possible, then find a way to make money and buy a Spirit Ring of my own."

"I'll do my best to return the one she lent me as soon as I can."

After that,

Ye Xiao put the Spirit Ring on.

After experimenting with it for a while,

he quickly got the hang of using the Spirit Ring and stored the large jar of Tiger Sun Pills at his feet in its spatial storage.

The Spirit Ring's space wasn't very large, measuring about a hundred square meters.

But it was more than enough for Ye Xiao's everyday needs.

His predecessor's memories told him

that a Spirit Ring was an extremely expensive item.

Ordinary people couldn't afford one.

In general, the size of the space determined the price.

A Spirit Ring with a hundred square meters of space like this one went for around a million on the market.

Su Muyun had lent him such an expensive Spirit Ring without hesitation.

From this alone,

Ye Xiao could tell that Su Muyun came from an extraordinary family.

"All right, I shouldn't dwell on it."

Ye Xiao cleared his mind of all those stray thoughts.

He began practicing his punches in the 5x gravity zone!

He threw a punch!

[Realm +5!]

He threw a punch!

[Realm +5!]

After throwing five punches in a row,

Ye Xiao had squeezed out the last bit of strength in his body.

He plopped down on the ground, drenched in sweat and panting heavily.

But then,

Ye Xiao took a Tiger Sun Pill out of his Spirit Ring.

Then, like a piece of candy, he tossed it into his mouth and chewed.

As the Tiger Sun Pill went down,

heat spread through Ye Xiao's body.

He felt the muscles, blood vessels, and sinews throughout his body being fully stimulated.

His depleted strength was rapidly replenished.

It was like parched earth finally receiving a welcome rain.

Before long,

Ye Xiao felt full of energy again.
