Sevenfold Gravity, Testing His Movement Technique

Inside the gravity chamber, Qin Chen felt as though Mount Tai were bearing down on him, his body unbearably heavy.

He could even feel his internal organs bearing a crushing weight.

"This still isn't my limit!" Qin Chen slowly raised his hand.

He could still move. It was difficult, but not beyond what he could bear.

"I can still take my time adapting, then test my true limit!"

Time passed bit by bit. Qin Chen kept moving, then began trying to throw punches.

Under the immense pressure, his three breathing techniques had somehow begun circulating at the same time without his noticing.

Huff! Huff! Huff!

Every breath Qin Chen exhaled rang clearly in his ears.

The ice elemental mark and wind elemental mark within him were condensing faster and faster.

It was as though the pressure were pushing him forward.

Even the second divine mark on his fire elemental mark was steadily taking shape.

"The gravity chamber has this effect too? No wonder Yu Yang broke through to become a one-star martial artist!"

Qin Chen watched the marks condense at an accelerating pace, both delighted and surprised.

He had always thought the gravity chamber was a means of strengthening the body.

But the gravity chamber's acceleration did not last forever. As he gradually adapted, he noticed that the rate of condensation was also beginning to slow.

An hour later, he still had difficulty moving, but the pressure had eased considerably, and the rate of condensation had returned to normal.

He looked at button seven again. After hesitating for two seconds, he reached out and pressed it.

Outside the gravity chamber.

"An hour has passed..."

"Is he even human? Just how strong is he?"

The area outside was packed with people. Every trainee had come, and even the staff from the first floor had arrived.

"To last this long under sixfold gravity, you have to have reached the threshold of a two-star martial artist." Old Li stared at the number on the door, utterly bewildered. He could not understand how Qin Chen had lasted until now under sixfold gravity.

He would never believe Qin Chen was a two-star martial artist, not even if someone beat him to death. If a two-star martial artist under eighteen really existed, everyone would have heard about it long ago. There was no way the people at their training camp would not know.

"The threshold of a two-star martial artist..."

Yu Yang trembled all over when he heard Old Li's words. He had only just broken through to become a one-star martial artist, and his confidence had been overflowing. Now, however, that confidence began to crumble in an instant.

"Seven... seven..." A trainee suddenly pointed at the number on the door, barely able to speak.

Everyone looked up. With a buzz, their minds went blank.

"He can still move? He even went and pressed the button for sevenfold gravity!"

"Fuck, that's ridiculous!"

Yu Yang staggered backward, his face pale.

I've lost! he roared inwardly. He was unwilling to accept it, but he had to admit that, in Qin Chen's place, he would have been crushed to death inside.

Forget about him-even Qin Chen, who was in the gravity chamber right now, was already sprawled on the floor.

"Fuck, sevenfold gravity is this terrifying?" Shock filled Qin Chen's face.

His body could not move at all. Only his fingers could.

"Good thing I was prepared."

The moment he had pressed the button for sevenfold gravity, he had moved his finger straight to the button that shut the gravity off. Now, he only had to move a finger to shut it off completely.

He did not press it immediately, though. Although the pressure had numbed his entire body, he had noticed that the marks inside him were condensing faster again.

"I can hold on for another minute!"

He could feel that if he went beyond a minute, the pressure would crush his internal organs completely.

Soon, a minute passed. He moved his finger and pressed the button, and the pressure on his whole body vanished at once.

"That feels good!" A wave of relief swept through his body.

What delighted him even more was that the condensation progress of his elemental marks had reached 45% for wind and 52% for ice.

In addition, the second divine mark on his fire elemental mark had reached 5%.

"At this rate, before the General Star selection, not only can I break through to become a martial artist with wind and ice, but my fire element might also break through to Two Star." Qin Chen's confidence soared.

Although the condensation of his marks and divine mark no longer sped up under sixfold gravity,

he could still gradually adapt to sevenfold gravity, and it could still help him make tremendous progress.

"Is he coming out?" A trainee suddenly noticed that the number on the gravity chamber door had disappeared.

Everyone immediately began backing away in unison, clearing a space for Qin Chen.

Click!

The door opened, and everyone saw Qin Chen walk out step by step. He was covered in sweat and looked somewhat disheveled.

But no one truly thought he looked disheveled. Instead, they showed him reverence.

Lasting a minute under sevenfold gravity was absolutely something only a two-star martial artist could do.

"Boss, here!" Zhou Lei was the first to react, handing Qin Chen a towel he had prepared long ago.

"Not bad!" Qin Chen smiled. Taking on this underling had been worth it.

"Of course. An underling has to know his place. Oh, right, I happened to guess that you could turn on sevenfold gravity this time, but none of these people believed me."

As Zhou Lei spoke, he looked at the crowd, pleased with himself.

Fortunately, he had added another multiple to his guess this time. He could finally hold his head high.

Everyone wanted to hit Zhou Lei when they heard him. Did he have to say it so bluntly?

Besides, who the fuck would have believed sevenfold gravity if they had not seen it with their own eyes?

Qin Chen smiled without saying much. Instead, he glanced at the other end of the corridor and walked over.

"Is he going to the infrared chamber?"

Someone noticed the direction Qin Chen was heading and spoke in surprise.

"Quick, follow him and take a look!"

The crowd immediately grew excited. They all wanted to see whether Qin Chen was just as terrifying when it came to his movement technique.

In an instant, only Yu Yang was left where he stood. He watched Qin Chen's retreating figure, his expression shifting.

"Sevenfold gravity for one minute. He probably can't start adapting to sevenfold gravity right away yet. I... I still have a chance to catch up to him, or even surpass him!" Determination gradually appeared on Yu Yang's face.

Yang Xue had said there was still some time before the actual selection.

With that thought, he turned and walked into the gravity chamber.

Only this time, there was no audience to see how he performed.

When Qin Chen reached the infrared chamber, he walked straight inside.

As soon as the crowd saw the door close, they fixed their eyes on it, eagerly waiting for a number to appear.

There was one other person whose expression looked rather grim. That person was Xu Fei.

The infrared chamber could be considered his exclusive territory. He had paid no attention when others entered it before.

But now that Qin Chen had entered, he could not help growing nervous.

Inside the chamber.

As before, Qin Chen first looked around. It was much like the gravity chamber, except that there were many infrared emitters on the surrounding walls.

Qin Chen looked at button one and pressed it without hesitation.

Three of the infrared emitters moved at once, and three red beams shot out immediately afterward.

He moved and hurriedly dodged them. The three infrared beams then swept after him as he moved.
