Upgraded Training Room

"System, open my status panel!"

Lin Feng murmured inwardly.

[Host: Lin Feng]

[Strength: 334 (50)]

[Speed: 287 (30)]

[Constitution: 397 (100)]

[Spirit: 147 (60)]

[Skills: One Sword Style: Iai Slash (Proficiency 85%), Six Powers (Mastered), Complete Sun Breathing]

[Haki: Intermediate Armament Haki LV4, 231/1000]

[Intermediate Observation Haki LV4, 39/1000]

[Basic Conqueror's Haki LV2, 0/500]

[Weapon: Demon God (Supreme Grade)]

[Slash Points: 356231]

[Items: Time-Space Training Room, Eternal Pose (pointing to Alabasta), Frost Gale, Den Den Mushi x1]

[Bonds (Activated): Bart (Strength +50, Speed +30, Constitution +100, Spirit +60)]

[Evaluation: You are already a qualified swordsman, but you still have a long way to go before reaching the pinnacle of the world!]

"With these stats, plus Bart's bonuses, I'm practically about to take off! Looks like I'm another step closer to becoming the strongest man!"

Lin Feng looked at the numbers on his panel and nodded in satisfaction.

"These stats are indeed pretty terrifying once you include the bond bonuses!"

He grinned, revealing two rows of gleaming white teeth.

"System, what new functions were added in this upgrade?" Lin Feng asked.

[ Ding! The system has been upgraded to version 2.0. New functions added: attribute categorization, Haki level classification, automatic cruise mode... ]

Only then did Lin Feng notice the changes to his status panel. "Hm? Both reaction and perception have been changed to Spirit? Haki has levels now too? This system upgrade is pretty impressive!"

Looking at the Haki section, Lin Feng saw the word "Intermediate" clearly displayed above Armament Haki and could not help asking, "System, how exactly are these Haki levels classified?"

[ Ding! Haki levels are divided into Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, and Top-tier. Levels 1-3 are Basic, levels 4-6 are Intermediate, levels 7-9 are Advanced, and levels 10-12 are Top-tier. ]

So I'm still far from the top-tier powerhouses, Lin Feng thought.

Lin Feng calculated inwardly. I have 350,000 Slash Points. I'm still 150,000 short of exchanging for the Gravity Training Room! Perfect. I can use this time to train properly in the Time-Space Training Room!

With a thought, he designated a room to place the training room in.

"Let's try it out!"

Lin Feng could not wait to experience the effects of the Time-Space Training Room.

He pushed open the training room's door and walked inside.

"So this is the Time-Space Training Room?"

Lin Feng surveyed his surroundings and found that it did not look much different from an ordinary room.

"I'll test it out first!"

Lin Feng took a deep breath and began practicing his sword swings.

Second by second, time passed, and Lin Feng felt as though he had entered another world.

He could clearly feel his body constantly growing stronger.

"This feeling... it's incredible!"

Excitement gleamed in Lin Feng's eyes.

"Oh right, Bart!" Lin Feng suddenly remembered Bart.

"I can't let such a great training environment go to waste!"

At that moment, Lin Feng remembered that the system upgrade included an automatic cruise mode and hurriedly asked, "What does that do?"

[ Ding! Automatic cruise mode: The system can take control of the ship and sail automatically according to the route set by the host! ]

"It can do that?" Lin Feng's eyes lit up.

"What if the ship gets attacked?"

[ The system will notify the host immediately! ]

"Nice, that even saves us the trouble of needing a helmsman!"

Lin Feng could not help exclaiming.

This system really is powerful. Its functions are becoming more and more complete.

"Bart, Bart!"

Lin Feng hurried out of the training room and found Bart.

"Lin Feng, what's wrong?"

Seeing Lin Feng rushing about in such a flustered manner, Bart asked in confusion.

Lin Feng threw an arm around Bart's shoulders and said excitedly, "Bart, I found a treasure trove for improving our strength. Come on, I'll show you!"

"This is..."

Bart stared blankly at the unfamiliar room before him.

"This is the Time-Space Training Room. Training here for three days is equivalent to one day outside!" Lin Feng explained.

"What?!" Bart's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

"This... how is that possible?!"

"Nothing is impossible!" Lin Feng smiled.

"You'll understand once you try it!"

"From today on, we'll train here!"

"And spar here too. How about it?"

"Alright!"

Bart nodded firmly, his eyes brimming with fighting spirit.

Five days quickly passed amid the pair's training.

"Whew... Finally finished!" Lin Feng let out a long breath.

"System, exchange for the Gravity Training Room!"

[ Ding! 500,000 Slash Points consumed. Exchange successful! ]

[ Ding! It has been detected that the host already possesses a Time-Space Training Room. Merge them? ]

"Merge?" Lin Feng froze. "They can be merged too?"

[ After merging, the Time-Space Training Room will gain a gravity adjustment function! ]

"This... this is way too awesome!"

Lin Feng could not help bursting into laughter.

"Merge them! Merge them immediately!"

[ Ding! Merge successful! ]

[Time-Space Training Room (Gravity Version): A special training space. The flow of time inside differs from the outside world at a ratio of 3:1. Gravity can be adjusted up to a maximum of 500 times!]

Lin Feng immediately tested it out.

"System, activate ten times gravity!"

The moment he spoke, Lin Feng felt a crushing force descend like Mount Tai bearing down on him. It seemed as though his internal organs were being squeezed together, and even breathing became difficult.

"Damn, this pressure... it's way too intense!"

Lin Feng felt as if a massive mountain were pressing down on him, leaving him unable to move.

"Bart, how are you doing?" Lin Feng turned toward Bart.

Bart's face was flushed red, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead. Clenching his teeth, he forced out a few words through the gaps, "I'm... I'm fine..."

"System, set it to five times gravity first!" Lin Feng hurriedly said.

"Whew... Let's take it slowly and get used to it first." Lin Feng shook his slightly numb arms and spoke to Bart.

"Mm." Bart nodded and moved his body, adapting to the new gravity.

The two continued training under five times gravity.

"System, set the route. Destination: Alabasta!"

Lin Feng said inwardly to the system.

[ Ding! Route successfully set. Gale has entered automatic cruise mode! ]

"Now, it's time to train with everything we have!"

Determination gleamed in Lin Feng's eyes.

"Alabasta, here I come!"

Day after day passed as Lin Feng and Bart sweated profusely in the Time-Space Training Room.

Their strength also improved at a rapid pace.

Meanwhile, under the system's control, the Gale rode the wind and waves, steadily advancing toward Alabasta.

That day, Lin Feng and Bart were sparring in the training room.

Suddenly, a violent tremor ran through the ship.

"What's going on?"

Lin Feng was startled and immediately stopped.

[ Ding! Warning! Warning! Gale is under attack! ]

The system's alert sounded in Lin Feng's mind.
