Ning Rongrong immediately quieted down at his words. She had not noticed it earlier, but after Yang Tian pointed it out, she instantly discovered that something was off about Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Then she saw Yang Tian drenched in sweat just from making a few ordinary movements. Though puzzled, Ning Rongrong did not dare move any closer to him. She knew a little about Yang Tian's strength. If the Gravity Field was making him suffer so much, she had better stay out of it.
Once she calmed down, Ning Rongrong realized how absurd her words and actions had been in her excitement. Her pretty face immediately reddened, but she then gave a proud snort. "This Princess has created a Soul Skill! Just wait, Yang Tian. See how I defeat you in the future."
As she spoke, Ning Rongrong even waved her little hand in all seriousness, as though she were about to smack Yang Tian's backside.
Yang Tian's mouth twitched. This Little Devil Girl really held a grudge. But revenge? Maybe in her next life.
One by one, the awakened students stepped into Number One Cultivation Zone. Without exception, lacking sufficient preparation, every one of them ended up face-first on the ground.
Gritting their teeth, everyone struggled back to their feet. Their bodies might have been able to endure the gravity easily, but their internal organs could not.
"Why is this Gravity Field different from Teacher Zhao's? I feel like my stomach is about to fall out." The fatty was the first to speak. He clutched his belly with an awful expression, while everyone else looked pale as well.
Yang Tian stopped training and began walking slowly to ease his fatigue. At the same time, he said to them, "The Gravity Field here differs from Teacher Zhao's Gravity Amplification. His targets every inch of flesh in the body.
"The reason your internal organs feel uncomfortable is because, compared to your physical bodies, your internal organs are your greatest weakness.
"Most importantly, ordinary training cannot target the internal organs.
"So... you had better seize this opportunity. Once you adapt to the gravity here, I believe your combat strength against opponents of the same rank will undergo a qualitative transformation.
"By then, I think the Shrek Battle Team will become a true Monster Team. Because every member of the team will be able to stand on their own."
"No wonder you're such a freak. If we adapt to the gravity here, will we be able to defeat you?" White light flickered in Dai Mubai's eyes. With Soul Power activated, they could all perform some simple exercises.
Yang Tian was taken aback and looked at Dai Mubai. This guy had been rather well-behaved these past few days. Yang Tian had thought he had given up.
"You really want to defeat me?"
Dai Mubai's expression was stern. "What do you think?"
"Maybe in your next life."
Yang Tian rolled his eyes. He knew Dai Mubai was deeply dissatisfied, but after today's exchange, he also knew that Dai Mubai was gradually accepting reality. Or rather, he had recognized the mistakes he had made and no longer had the nerve to demand anything.
Hearing Yang Tian's merciless blow, Dai Mubai gave a bitter smile. He did not think adapting to this environment would let him defeat Yang Tian either, but did this guy's mouth have to be so vicious?
The others, unaware of the full story, were all stunned. Ma Hongjun, especially, could not resist saying, "Dai Boss, don't take it too hard. Heavenly Brother isn't human. Wouldn't it be better for us to honestly stay human?"
Dai Mubai's mouth twitched. He desperately wanted to grab Ma Hongjun and beat him up, but in this Gravity Field, any major movement would first wound themselves badly. Whether they could hurt the enemy was another matter entirely.
The Grandmaster slowly walked about as though no one else existed, his face as stiff as a corpse's. "All right, everyone, hurry and adapt to the gravity here.
"Your training officially begins tomorrow. I hope no one will complain of hardship and quit by then!"
Seeing the Grandmaster's grim tone, everyone involuntarily shuddered. They all had the feeling they were about to fall into a devil's hands.
After adapting for two hours, everyone collapsed to the floor. Only the Grandmaster remained in the rest area, writing and drawing away with considerable ease.
After some consideration, Flender sought Yang Tian's approval and called over the other teachers of Shrek Academy as well.
They were Shao Xin, whose Martial Soul was Sugar Bean, a level seventy-one Soul Sage; Li Yusong, whose Martial Soul was the Dragon Pattern Staff, a level sixty-three Soul Emperor; and Lu Qibin, whose Martial Soul was Star Luo Chess, a level sixty-six Soul Emperor.
However, after experiencing the environment of the Gravity Room, Shao Xin shook his head slightly. "I'm old, old. From now on, I just want to enjoy life. I won't take part in the cultivation here. I'll just be responsible for your meals."
No one was surprised by Shao Xin's withdrawal. They had become Shrek's teachers in the first place because they were content to coast through life. After Shao Xin withdrew, Li Yusong and Lu Qibin chose to withdraw as well. They no longer wanted to work hard.
Among the teachers, only Flender and Zhao Wuji remained. They trained with Yang Tian in Number Two Cultivation Zone, while Tang San and the others stayed in Number One Cultivation Zone. As for the Grandmaster... not only was his Martial Soul useless...
Dinner was a delicious pot of Snake Soup. After eating their fill, the utterly exhausted group returned to their dormitories to rest. Yang Tian, meanwhile, went to the Cultivation Room again. His dormitory had already been moved to the resting area of the Cultivation Room. Naturally, Zhu Zhuqing was there too...
The night passed without incident.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, everyone arrived at the Cultivation Room.
The Grandmaster still wore that corpse-like expression, making Yang Tian wonder how Liu Erlong had fallen for him.
"Today's lesson will require Yang Tian's cooperation. I need to fully understand each of your strengths and abilities.
"So, Yang Tian, I need you to defeat their group of seven. Can you do it?"
Yang Tian was not particularly surprised and immediately nodded. "Easy."
Hearing Yang Tian agree so decisively, Tang San immediately spoke up. "Heavenly Brother, Teacher never said we would activate the Gravity System.
"And there are seven of us."
Yang Tian nodded. "I know. Use whatever methods you have. Everyone drank Enlightenment Tea yesterday, so let me see what you gained from it. Creating a Soul Skill may be more difficult, but surely your understanding of your own Soul Skills has improved, right? Don't disappoint me."
The entire cultivation zone was vast, with ample space for them to fight.
Half an hour later, Tang San had finished arranging their battle formation and immediately stepped into the cultivation zone. Yang Tian merely looked at them with a teasing expression.
Seven people... yet they really did not seem to be his opponents. Besides, they did not have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill right now. Zhu Zhuqing's transformation in strength alone could not change the outcome.
The seven-man formation was nothing particularly novel. Dai Mubai and the fatty stood at the front, Tang San was in the center, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing flanked him on either side, while Oscar and Ning Rongrong stood at the rear.
The battle began, and Ning Rongrong was the first to activate her Soul Skill. "Seven Treasures Have Spirits, first: strength, second: speed!"
The two enhancements instantly landed on the four main combatants. Tang San's Blue Silver Grass spread out as well, but rather than trying to control Yang Tian, it wrapped around the waists of his own teammates.
The Blue Silver Grass posed no threat to Yang Tian; Tang San understood that. Even against the fatty, Tang San was confident he could use his Self-Created Soul Skill to avoid being completely countered. However, against Yang Tian, his Blue Silver Grass was like willow fluff—one spark, and it would burn away...
