Ten Times Gravity—Could That Work?

At some point, a surge of strength suddenly erupted from within Zhu Zhuqing, shoving Yang Tian away and freeing her from that warm yet dangerous embrace.

"Pervert! Lecher!" Zhu Zhuqing huffed coquettishly. Remembering the large hand Yang Tian had slipped into a certain place, the shyness in her heart grew even stronger. She turned and hid in the darkness, swearing never to let Yang Tian catch her again.

Yet she did not know that Yang Tian had found her not because she had attacked and revealed her position, but because her location had always been under his control.

The poor little kitten thought she could avoid Yang Tian's bullying with her domain, never realizing that all those illusions had been deliberately led on by Yang Tian.

Still, Yang Tian cooperatively played along with Zhu Zhuqing for now. He had to give the little kitten time to compose herself. Otherwise, if she accidentally exposed his evil deeds, his glorious image would be ruined.

Zhu Zhuqing likewise had no intention of retracting her domain immediately. She could clearly feel that her cheeks were still burning hot, so she needed to wait until she cooled down.

Second by second, time passed. Once Yang Tian saw that Zhu Zhuqing had mostly recovered, he said, "Zhuqing, isn't this going a little too far? Come out already, or I'll break your domain."

Zhu Zhuqing gave a soft snort, seeing that this bad guy was acting as well. She immediately said, "I'm not fighting anymore. I can't beat you anyway." There was an obvious hint of coquettishness in her words, though she herself did not notice it in the slightest.

The people outside, trapped by the fire dragon, had no mind to pay attention to what was happening inside the domain. They merely assumed that Zhu Zhuqing had hidden in the darkness, making it difficult for Yang Tian to find her.

The domain faded away, and Zhu Zhuqing appeared before everyone with a cool expression, drawing a wave of praise. Being able to survive against Heavenly Brother was already incredibly impressive.

Yang Tian grinned wickedly and raised his brows at Zhu Zhuqing, even licking the corner of his lips as though savoring the memory. A blush immediately rose on Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face again. She shot Yang Tian a charming glare, then strode over on her long legs.

Seeing this, Yang Tian waved his hand and recalled the Fallen Heart Flame. Tang San and the others felt as though they had been pardoned. Sweating profusely, they collapsed onto the ground. Only heaven knew how torturous it had been to deal with the fire dragon's intermittent harassment.

Those flames were far too scorching! At the same time, they stirred up the Soul Power within their bodies, making it even more violent.

In the rest area, Flender's sharp eyes gleamed as though he had discovered something extraordinary. "Xiao Gang, did you notice? That fire dragon can affect our Soul Power."

Grandmaster had already been scribbling and drawing across a pile of draft paper. Hearing Flender's reminder, his pen paused before touching down once more. "If nothing unexpected happens, those flames can accelerate Soul Power cultivation. Yang Tian should know that, but we cannot take up too much of his time. So, those flames... forget it."

Although Grandmaster was not Yang Tian's teacher, Tang San had often told him about Yang Tian during their six years in Notting City. As such, he had some understanding of Yang Tian as well.

Yang Tian could be extremely diligent at times, meditating through the entire night. But at other times, he was quite lazy, and what he hated most were especially troublesome matters.

For that reason, Grandmaster had no intention of borrowing Yang Tian's flames. In his view, Yang Tian needed Soul Power to maintain those flames. If they borrowed them, they would inevitably delay Yang Tian's own cultivation.

Flender nodded in agreement. Yang Tian had already been more than generous by teaching everyone the secrets of self-created soul skills, giving them Enlightenment Tea, and opening this Cultivation Room to them.

While everyone rested, Grandmaster pointed out Tang San and the others' shortcomings one by one. Then he said, "Yang Tian is still far too strong for you. You cannot see the flaws in your coordination when facing him."

"But that's all right. I'll help you make up for that later."

"Next, we will begin the first phase of cultivation. Its core will be this Cultivation Room."

"My requirement is that each of you must perfectly adapt to a sixfold gravity environment within three months."

As soon as Grandmaster said that, everyone immediately wailed. They had already experienced double gravity. What did sixfold gravity even mean? Even a Soul Sage would suffer for a while upon entering it, wouldn't they?

Listening to Tang San and the others' cries, Yang Tian pursed his lips slightly. "I think tenfold gravity could work too." Yang Tian clearly remembered that he still had missions concerning the Shrek Seven Devils to complete.

Of course, more importantly, Yang Tian had run out of Theft Coupons. Meanwhile, the Palm Heaven Bottle he had secretly placed outside had already begun gathering moonlight essence.

As expected, Tang San and the others wore expressions as though they had eaten shit. "Heavenly Brother, could you please act human?"

Yang Tian said nothing. Instead, he directly increased the gravity in his Number Two Cultivation Zone to fivefold. "Ah, I just remembered. There seems to be a place where quite a few immortal herbs grow. If I cultivate them a little more, the effects..."

"I think I can adapt to tenfold gravity."

"I think I can too!"

"M-Me too! I can definitely do it." Ning Rongrong raised her little hand, refusing to be outdone.

Grandmaster nodded approvingly. Yang Tian said nothing further and focused on adapting to the pressure brought by fivefold gravity.

The night was as silent as ever.

Yang Tian recalled the Palm Heaven Bottle. After hesitating again and again, he took out Gu Yue Na's Reverse Scale. He gently stroked it for a while before putting it away. He had still decided to rely on his own strength to complete the mission.

However, Yang Tian putting away Gu Yue Na's Reverse Scale did not mean Gu Yue Na felt nothing. At the bottom of Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest, Gu Yue Na opened her pale violet eyes. Her heart suddenly trembled, and without hesitation, she tore open space. When she appeared again, she was already standing before Yang Tian.

Seeing that peerlessly beautiful and elegant figure standing before him, Yang Tian froze for a moment before coming back to himself. "Why are you here?"

Gu Yue Na's red lips parted slightly. Her voice was gentle and refined, without the majesty of the sovereign of soul beasts. "Why didn't you borrow my strength? Such trivial matters are not worth wasting your time on."

Yang Tian was surprised that Gu Yue Na had guessed his hesitation, but then he understood. The Silver Dragon King was the symbol of wisdom, after all. Had she not overturned Douluo Star all by herself in the third part of Douluo?

Noticing Yang Tian's confusion, Gu Yue Na seemed afraid that he would misunderstand. She immediately explained, "I can sense some of your emotions. I'm not deliberately monitoring you."

Yang Tian said, "Mm, it's fine. But since you're here, help me with a small favor." Since Gu Yue Na had already come, Yang Tian naturally stopped being pretentious. He could go to Sunset Forest himself, but with his current strength and cultivation progress, entering the Star Luo Empire was out of the question anytime soon.
