On the steps of the rest area.
The seniors who had been chirping away about Ye Xiao suddenly fell silent.
They widened their eyes in shock, staring at Ye Xiao's direction in disbelief.
"How did that guy walk step by step into the 10x gravity zone?"
"Impossible! This is just absurd!"
"An E-rank Martialist, a freshman! He went straight to the 10x gravity zone the moment he started?"
"We've been studying here for three years, and we can barely train in the 10x gravity zone."
"Just wait, something bad is bound to happen to him!"
"Look, his body is already trembling. That means the gravity multiplier has exceeded his physical limit, and he's starting to lose his balance."
"If this keeps up, won't he just drop dead?"
"Even if he does, he brought it on himself!"
"..."
Beyond those discussing Ye Xiao, the seniors in other parts of the second floor were also drawn to him.
Zhou Yao was particularly astonished.
She muttered to herself, This freshman actually has some skill!
Even if he's just posturing, the mere fact that he can walk into the 10x gravity zone and remain standing is something many juniors can't do.
Is he really just an E-rank Martialist?
Ye Xiao spent a full ten minutes.
He finally managed to barely adapt to the 10x gravity zone.
Then.
He arrived in front of the training wooden dummy.
And began to throw punches!
The first punch roared out!
[You have completed one punch. The force of this punch was: 21%!]
[Realm advancement failed!]
Ye Xiao was not discouraged.
Instead, he pushed himself further under the pressure of the higher gravity.
He attempted to resist this force.
Thereby mobilizing more of his body's potential and strength!
The second punch roared out!
[You have completed one punch. The force of this punch was: 27%!]
[Realm advancement failed!]
"Very good, I'm slowly finding the rhythm!"
Although he still failed.
Ye Xiao's gains were immense.
Facing the 10x gravity environment, his power output was still steadily increasing!
The third punch roared out!
Ye Xiao's face flushed slightly, his skin turned red and hot, and sweat poured down in streams.
He was already panting after just three punches!
[Ding!]
[You have completed one punch. The force of this punch was: 31%!]
[Obtained 10 Martial Value!]
[Your realm has advanced!]
[Current Realm: Mud Embryo Realm·1001 Layers!]
[Current Realm: Mud Embryo Realm·1002 Layers!]
[...]
[Current Realm: Mud Embryo Realm · 1010th Layer!]
"Finally, a successful punch!"
A massive sense of accomplishment surged within Ye Xiao!
Under the 10x gravity environment.
A single punch had actually caused Ye Xiao to jump a full 10 layers in his realm!
This was twice as efficient as when he was on the 1st floor!
With this.
Not only had Ye Xiao's efficiency in raising his realm skyrocketed.
But his speed in earning Martial Value had also increased.
"Keep training! Drain every last bit of my strength in one go!"
Punch!
[Realm +10!]
Punch!
[Realm +10!]
After Ye Xiao had thrown a total of 7 punches.
He didn't have a single ounce of strength left in his entire body.
He was gasping for air, sweat pouring off him like a waterfall.
"Can't do it, time for a break!"
There happened to be a seat nearby.
He hurried over to sit down and rest.
Yet, in the time it took for Ye Xiao to throw those 7 punches.
Only a brief 3 minutes had passed.
But in those 3 minutes.
The gazes of all the seniors training on the 2nd floor of the Gravity Training Tower were completely drawn to Ye Xiao!
They had witnessed it with their own eyes.
Ye Xiao was able to throw such fierce and brutal punches in the 10x gravity zone!
On the steps of the rest area.
The seniors were no longer whispering about Ye Xiao.
Because everyone was terrifyingly quiet.
"Is this guy a lunatic?" Zhao Lei couldn't help but curse, "He's really throwing his life away! In the 10x gravity zone, consuming power and overdrawing his stamina like that—isn't he afraid that once he's exhausted, he won't be able to resist the pressure of the 10x gravity?"
Sun Hao shook his head repeatedly, looking completely dumbfounded.
"Damn, is the cultivation of a Martialist always this reckless and single-minded?"
"If it doesn't kill you, train until you die!"
"Just now, I saw his skin turn red like blood, and it wasn't white steam coming off him, but blood-colored vapor."
"I actually thought he was about to explode and die!"
The short-haired senior sister exclaimed in wonder.
"Even though he's an E-rank Martialist, his physical strength is definitely not simple."
"Even without bulky muscles, you can feel that his body is tougher than refined steel."
The long-haired senior sister beside her suddenly teased.
"Hey, Xiao Yu, why are you drooling? Looking at your eyes, you've taken a fancy to this junior's body, haven't you?"
The short-haired senior sister glanced at the girl beside her.
"Yeah, I'm interested, but I don't believe you aren't?"
The long-haired senior sister sneered.
"If it were me, I'd just play around with him. If I were really looking for a partner, I'd have to find someone with an S-rank profession or higher."
The short-haired senior sister nodded in agreement.
"With your looks and beauty, it's true that anyone below S-rank wouldn't catch your eye."
Amidst the chatter between these two senior sisters.
The expressions of the senior brothers nearby were clearly not very pleasant.
They had arranged to come to the Gravity Training Tower with a few girls to cultivate.
It was clearly a move to show off their strength while trying to pick up girls.
Yet, in just this short span of time.
They felt vaguely suppressed by Ye Xiao, a mere freshman.
Half an hour.
Forty minutes.
Fifty minutes.
"Is this guy really a monster?"
Zhou Yao had been observing Ye Xiao from the shadows.
She discovered that Ye Xiao had been in the 10x gravity zone for nearly an hour.
Yet, Ye Xiao showed no intention of leaving whatsoever.
Aside from practicing his punches, he would simply sit on a chair to rest.
Every now and then, he would pop a few Tiger Sun Pills.
What appeared to be incredibly dull cultivation seemed to be something Ye Xiao actually enjoyed.
Ye Xiao practiced his punches until noon.
Then he rushed to the cafeteria to eat and wash dishes for the logistics department.
At 2:00 PM.
He returned to the Gravity Training Tower to continue his cultivation.
The people on the second floor changed wave after wave.
Some arrived, finished their training, and left.
Some trained until they were exhausted and headed down.
But that person in the corner kept throwing punches.
His movements were neither fast nor slow, strike after strike, like a pendulum.
Because Ye Xiao was so consistent, as fixed as an NPC, he began to attract more and more attention.
"That freshman, how long has he... been on the second floor?"
"He was here when I arrived this morning, and he's still here now that I've come back this afternoon."
"This guy must have just gone to the cafeteria for a meal and then returned here to continue training."
"How can a freshman have this kind of physical endurance?"
"Word is, he's an E-rank Martialist!"
"Huh? The trashiest class, yet he's this resilient?"
"Damn, I remember when I first came here, my legs turned to jelly after just fifteen minutes on the second floor."
"Are Martialist really this durable?"
"No idea."
"I've never seen a Martialist class before; aren't the lowest classes in our school at least C-rank?"
