Technological practice: leading the human race to the stars

Chapter 72 Pressure
"You are really good at it. The meteor shower scene at the end is so amazing!"

"Haha, of course! I know a lot. At the end, the little girl almost couldn't hold on, and it was only because I hacked into the system in time that the whole scene was maintained." Astra paused proudly and continued, "My assists are not bad, right?"

"You are amazing. I will learn more from you next time."

Yuanze exited the assessment tower and ended today's training.

Because he lost a match this morning, he had some points deducted and his position in the second-grade leaderboard dropped a few places.

But this is not a big deal. What is more important to me is the accumulation of source power. My overall combat capability is still good, but I am always held back by insufficient accumulation of source power, and I almost fell into desperate situations many times.

He exchanged all his contribution points for the privileges of the green assessment tower, and directly upgraded to the fifth floor. The training room on the fifth floor was different from the previous training rooms. Its internal environment became extremely heavy. Even some special instruments were required to test the body before allowing entry.

The moment he stepped into the training room, Yuan Ze felt an invisible force binding him tightly, as if countless invisible hands were tearing his limbs and torso apart. Under the strong pressure of gravity, his knees bent and his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, making it difficult for him to move.

With his heartbeat quickening and blood rushing, Yuanze tried to resist the sudden gravity. His breathing became rapid, and every breath he took was like a struggle with an invisible hand. However, he did not succumb to this force. He clenched his teeth, clenched his hands into fists, and fought against gravity with a firm will. Although his body was shaking, and despite the pain and fatigue that continued to come, he never thought of giving up.

Although his body had been strengthened by the Transformation Tower, this strengthening was mainly reflected in the structure, and the tissue strength had not been significantly improved. Therefore, under this strong gravity, every part of his body was under tremendous tearing force.

"Mode update, gravity training mode."

Astra upgraded the functionality of the gene chip, allowing Yuanze to better counteract the effects of gravity from the training room.

His tissues were constantly torn apart, and the gene chip mobilized the source power to reorganize them as much as possible, becoming more resilient with each surge of tearing and reorganization.

Gradually, this tearing and reorganization tended to a state of balance. For the first time, Yuanze felt the desire of cells throughout his body for source power. They autonomously absorbed and stored every bit of source power.

He found that the source force in the cell gradually gathered and mixed with the cytoplasmic matrix to form an organelle similar to mitochondria. This is an organelle that humans have never recorded before, which should be regarded as human evolution. Yuanze gave it a name - "source nucleus".

Astra also obeyed the command and recorded the entire evolution process for future research.

There was still some soft source power left in the training room. Yuanze began a new round of absorption and continued to study the role of new organelles in the process.

Its main function is to store the source power absorbed from the outside, which is equivalent to countless micro source power warehouses; it participates in the defense of cells and can repair various damages of cells in time through special source power fields; it can also convert the energy required by cells through a series of biochemical reactions when cells lack energy...

When the last bit of source power was absorbed, Yuan Ze slowly opened his eyes. He stood up and stretched his muscles. He felt no discomfort even when the gravity was quadrupled. Whether it was practicing ancient boxing or ordinary jumping, there was no longer any obstacle.

Most importantly, under heavy pressure, he also broke through from the ninth level of the Body Tempering Level to the first level of the Fusion Level. Unlike source beasts, humans will gradually fuse their source power with their bodies after reaching the Fusion Level. Very few source warriors will unlock their gene locks and gain special abilities.

He was very satisfied and walked to the door, ready to have a good meal and reward himself before going to the White Assessment Tower for a simulated battle. However, he was blocked at the door of the training room by a group of white coats ready to go, as well as various instruments, stretchers and medical robots. "Uh, what are you doing?" Yuan Ze's question confused everyone in front.

They looked Yuanze up and down carefully. He seemed almost unharmed and his whole body was full of energy.

"You're okay?" A doctor wearing high-power myopic glasses squeezed out of the crowd. He held an instrument and carefully scanned Yuanze's body.

"The vital signs are completely normal, no medical treatment is needed." The instrument quickly and roughly checked Yuanze's condition and reported the results.

Yuan Ze talked to the doctor and found out that every student who stepped into the fifth-floor training room for the first time would become fragile and it was common for their bones to be broken. Therefore, only students above the Rongtong level dared to train here or even in higher training rooms.

"Your talent is truly outstanding. I've been in the training camp for so long, but this is the first time I've seen a student walk out of here unharmed after entering for the first time."

He continued to move closer and say polite words, then handed a small bottle of recovery potion written on it to Yuan Ze: "This is something the old man in white robe asked me to give you. He said it will be useful to you."

"Are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person?" Yuanze touched the things in his pocket and looked at him in disbelief.

The doctor did not answer his question, but kept muttering strange words and took everyone in the medical team away.

Yuanze walked to a remote corner and took out the thing that the doctor had stuffed in his hand. It was a bottle of light blue medicine and instructions for use. It was obviously the antidote to the customized medicine. It was only slightly different in purity from the one that Li Haisheng had asked him to take in advance.

"What on earth is this for?"

It is hard to imagine that the mastermind behind so many major incidents would be so generous as to give away the antidote.

Is this to win over myself?

Yuan Ze shook his head, not knowing why he valued him so much that he even revealed the secret of the customized medicine to him. Why did he take such a risky move and act so anxious?
"Click."

The bottle shattered on the ground, and this time there was no spiritual power to protect the liquid. The blue liquid flowed through the cracks in the broken bottle, seeping into the soil bit by bit, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Yuanze smashed the antidote that Li Haisheng gave him. Even if he didn't have Li Haisheng's antidote, he would never accept a gift from his enemy.
