If I let you practice martial arts, you'll compress your vital energy ten thousand times?

At dawn, the first rays of sunlight pierced through the thin mist of the mutated forest.

In the central square of the Starry Sky Training Camp, three thousand martial arts prodigies from various high schools have already lined up and assembled.

At the front of the procession stood a hemispherical, fully enclosed building that resembled a steel behemoth.

On the outer wall, glaring red warning lights flashed, and the muffled roar of mechanical engines faintly emanated from underground, causing the surrounding ground to tremble slightly.

This is the core facility built by the military at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars—the Gravity Training Center!

The head instructor stood with his hands behind his back, like an iron tower, in front of the gravity chamber door, his sharp gaze sweeping across the entire area.

"Last night, some scoundrels caused a terrible incident at the camp."

The head instructor's voice was like a booming bell, making many students' eardrums go numb.

"Zhang Kuang has been handed over to a military court and will face the most severe trial! This should serve as a warning to all of you: there are no shortcuts on the path of a martial artist!"

"Today is your first core assessment since joining the camp—gravity chamber pressure quenching!"

The instructor pointed to the massive steel building behind him and loudly announced the rules:

"In the gravity chamber, your vital energy, bones, meridians, and even every drop of blood will be subjected to physical pressure several times greater than that outside!"

"The rules are simple. Gravity zones are divided into one to ten times."

"Only those who can enter a zone with three times gravity and endure it for more than half an hour deserve to be called elites in my camp!"

Upon hearing the phrase "three times gravity," a collective gasp rippled through the crowd.

It's important to understand that triple gravity isn't simply about carrying a sandbag weighing several hundred kilograms on your back.

That's all-encompassing pressure! Internal organs will plummet downwards due to gravity, and the heart will need to exert three times its normal effort to pump blood to the brain. The slightest mishap could lead to widespread capillary rupture, or even organ failure!

"First batch, in!"

With a command from the head instructor, dozens of martial arts prodigies from various schools, usually proud and arrogant, gritted their teeth and walked through the steel gate.

Click.

The heavy alloy gate slowly closed, and the giant holographic screen above the square lit up instantly, simultaneously displaying high-definition monitoring footage of the gravity chamber's interior.

boom!

In the surveillance footage, the red "3G" warning light had just turned on.

Of the dozens of students at the fifth or sixth level of the Qi and Blood Realm who were at the forefront, more than half of them suddenly lost their footing and slammed heavily onto the metal floor!

"Holy crap... I feel like my internal organs are about to be crushed!"

"I'm having trouble breathing... Help..."

After less than a minute, several students rolled their eyes and some even had nosebleeds.

The medics who had been waiting nearby rushed in and dragged the students, who couldn't bear the pressure, out like dead dogs.

The remaining students in the square turned deathly pale upon witnessing this scene.

so horrible!

The genius who usually flaunts his abilities at school finds that even standing up becomes an extremely luxurious fantasy in the face of three times the gravity!

Just as the first batch of students were being crushed and crying out in agony.

A stunningly beautiful figure in white slowly walked out of the queue.

Su Qinghan.

She had forcibly used a forbidden military technique last night, and although she had taken high-level healing medicine, her beautiful face was still as pale as paper. Her left arm was wrapped in thick bandages, with a faint trace of blood showing through.

But her steps were unusually firm.

Su Qinghan's mind was filled with the image of that burly figure wearing a pale mask from last night.

That mysterious grandmaster senior shattered four Xuanhai Realm assassins with just a deep breath.

That pure, extreme violence made Su Qinghan realize her own weakness.

"I must become stronger."

Su Qinghan bit her pale lips tightly.

Ignoring the concerned and astonished looks of those around her, she walked straight into the gravity training center.

however.

After entering the passage, she did not linger in the triple gravity zone.

Instead, amidst the utter shock of the three thousand people in the audience, he dragged his severely injured body and stepped into the deeper—five times gravity zone—without hesitation!

hum!

On the holographic screen, the red halo representing five times the gravity instantly lit up!

The entire central square immediately erupted in chaos.

"Are you crazy?! School beauty Su was so badly injured last night, and she still dares to challenge five times gravity?"

"That's a death zone that even geniuses at the Bone Forging Realm dare not easily venture into! Under five times the gravity, even bones would be crushed!"

On the screen.

As soon as Su Qinghan stepped into the five-fold zone, her body suddenly sank down.

clack clack...

A chilling grinding sound came from inside her body. The bloodstains on the bandage on her left arm instantly expanded, dripping from her fingertips onto the floor.

But she did not kneel down.

She gripped the metal floor tightly with the broken sword, forcibly straightening her swan-like neck, and under the terrifying pressure of five times gravity, she began to take deep breaths to temper her body.

The head instructor looked at the screen, and a deep sense of shock and admiration flashed in his originally stern eyes.

"A severely injured body withstands five times the force of gravity."

"This girl's willpower is simply monstrous! This is the true backbone of a martial artist!"

The students in the square were also completely impressed by Su Qinghan's workaholic spirit, and their eyes were filled with awe.

At this time.

Lin Yuan, who was standing at the very back of the group and whose face was not even visible, yawned listlessly.

He remained unmoved by the exclamations and fervent adoration of those around him towards Su Qinghan; in fact, he found them rather noisy.

"Ah Yuan, when it's our turn, you absolutely mustn't push yourself too hard!"

His best friend Zhao Hai came over, nervously wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

"You barely passed the test during the day; your physical fitness isn't much better than mine."

"That triple gravity is unbearable. If all else fails, let's just go into a double gravity zone, find a corner to squat in, and kill some time. Life is more important than saving face!"

Listening to Zhao Hai's rambling.

Lin Yuan turned his head, glanced at Zhao Hai, patted his broad shoulder, and said nothing.

Then.

Lin Yuan slowly raised his head, his gaze passing over the dense crowd and looking at the gravity training center that resembled a steel behemoth.

A look of utter speechlessness flashed deep in his eyes.

Three times gravity?

Five times gravity? A death zone?

Lin Yuan couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

For a body that has compressed every cell and every muscle fiber of its own body 105,000 times, reaching a physical density that is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, this is an extreme physical body.

Let alone a mere five times the force of gravity.

Even if you break the gravimeter and adjust it to fifty or five hundred times the gravity!

The blows that hit Lin Yuan were even gentler than a spring breeze!

It's as ridiculous as trying to crush a majestic Mount Tai with a feather.

"Let's just get this over with quickly."

Lin Yuan put his hands in the pockets of his faded school uniform and sighed inwardly.

"I swallowed so much high-level energy last night, and my blood and qi circulated too quickly, so I just felt a little sleepy."

"Go inside and find a secluded corner where nobody's watching..."

"I'll take a nice nap."

This was followed by the instructors' second roll call.

Lin Yuan strode steadily toward the cold steel door of the gravity chamber amidst the mournful wails of a group of people.
