Devouring: Starting with an innate sacred body and Dao embryo

Chapter 16 Perfected Sword Technique, Astounding Gravity

That evening, Jiang Chen and Luo Feng's names appeared on the display screen of the giant dragon statue.

Jiang Chen ranked 183rd, and Luo Feng ranked 184th.

This ranking is based on the speed at which the two passed the Level B assessment.

The Jiang family also received the news immediately that Jiang Chen had passed the assessment and become a formal student of the elite training camp.

Although Jiang Chen had already assured Jiang Mu and the others that he could rest assured, the Jiang family was still overjoyed to see that Jiang Chen had actually passed the test.

Jiang Chen's selection as a trainee in the elite training camp has led to increased attention being paid to the Jiang family by various forces.

Meanwhile, news about Luo Feng also spread, attracting the attention of various forces, who all extended olive branches to him.

Compared to Jiang Chen, who already has a clear background and powerful connections, Luo Feng, a genius with a clean background and no connections, is more welcomed by other forces and they are more willing to recruit him.

When Jiang Chen's name appeared on the black dragon statue, the system, which had been silent, suddenly spoke.

[Limited-time mission activated: If the host can raise their ranking in the Elite Training Camp to No. 1 within April, they will be rewarded with one chance to win a prize.]

Upon hearing the system voice in his ear, Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, and then his thoughts raced.

"If you rank first in the elite training camp within a month, you'll get a chance to win a prize. How interesting!"

A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips: "Although it's quite difficult, it's not necessarily impossible."

With various plans rapidly forming in his mind, Jiang Chen arrived at his residence in the elite training camp, inside the Kyoto Pavilion.

The Kyoto Pavilion is inhabited by students from the Kyoto base city.

Besides Jiang Chen, there are three other people: two men and one woman.

One of them was Chu Qiang, who was second on the points leaderboard.

"Jiang Chen, how are you feeling in this elite training camp?"

A tall, imposing young man walked out of the room and happened to meet Jiang Chen, greeting him with a smile.

"Senior Brother Chu Qiang."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly and said with a smile, "It feels pretty good. Both the learning atmosphere and the students' abilities are quite good."

"Of course, this is where the world's top geniuses gather."

Chu Qiang said, "Tonight, all the students from our Hanxia Kingdom faction are hosting a gathering for you and Luo Feng. Don't forget to join us then."

"Don't worry, senior brother, I will definitely be there on time."

After a brief chat with Chu Qiang, Jiang Chen went to the secret room in the room to practice his swordsmanship.

His swordsmanship is now close to perfection, and he has a premonition that he will be able to make a breakthrough in the next few days.

Inside the sealed room, all four walls were made of alloy, with a cold and hard luster.

Jiang Chen wielded his battle blade fiercely, swift as thunder and lightning, the thunderous roar echoing through the secret chamber, revealing the true essence of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade.

Jiang Chen's strong comprehension allowed him to gain new insights with each swing of his sword.

"So when you make this downward slash, you shouldn't use all your strength, but rather leave some room to maneuver."

"After this thrust, there should be an upward sweeping motion to prepare for the next variation."

"Nine-fold Thunder Blade, so that's how it is. It's like rolling thunder, exploding in a dense, spiderweb-like pattern, rather than just a single blade."

Over the course of an afternoon, Jiang Chen practiced his swordsmanship countless times, making up for all the flaws in his technique and striving for perfection in every move.

In the end, every strike Jiang Chen made was as unpredictable as a gazelle leaping through the air, full of ingenious and exquisite variations, with so many different styles that it was dazzling and overwhelming.

He successfully elevated his swordsmanship to a state of perfection.

Looking at the time, Jiang Chen realized that there was less than an hour left before the agreed-upon gathering that evening. So, he left the secret room, took a shower, changed his clothes, and then went to attend the gathering.

"Senior Brother Jiang Chen."

Luo Feng also arrived at the gathering and greeted Jiang Chen familiarly.

"How are you doing, Luo Feng? Are you settling in well here?"

Jiang Chen responded with a smile.

"It's alright. Let me introduce you. These two are my senior brothers and sisters from Jiangnan Pavilion: Shi Jiang and Zhao Ruo."

Luo Feng introduced the two veteran students next to him.

"Greetings, senior brothers and sisters." Jiang Chen nodded in greeting.

As one of the five strongest nations in the world today, Hanxia Kingdom is naturally rich in talent and geniuses. There are as many as twenty or thirty formal students in the elite training camp.

So the gathering was very lively, with toasts and drinks flowing freely.

As a member of the Jiang family, Jiang Chen was very skilled at handling various social situations, and the entire gathering was a success, with both hosts and guests enjoying themselves.

However, this gathering was not just a simple meal and drink. During the event, many people approached him and Luo Feng, wanting to recruit them into various factions.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

However, both Jiang Chen and Luo Feng refused all of them.

With this gathering, Jiang Chen and Luo Feng officially began their training at the elite training camp.

The ancient civilization's gravity chamber possesses gravity ranging from 1 to 1000 times. With Jiang Chen's current ranking, he can use it for one hour every month.

Jiang Chen entered the gravity chamber and tried to activate the gravity, continuously increasing the multiplier.

2 times, 3 times... 5 times... 9 times...

Generally speaking, the maximum gravity that a junior warrior like Jiang Chen can withstand is about 9 times.

However, because Jiang Chen possesses an innate sacred body and Dao embryo, the maximum gravity he can withstand is far greater than that of ordinary martial artists.

Jiang Chen stopped adding more gravity when it reached 98 times.

At this point, Jiang Chen found it extremely difficult to walk, and the weight of the battle sword he carried on his back had increased from the basic 108 kilograms to over 10,000 kilograms.

He struggled to pick up the battle sword and practiced slashing through the nine layers of thunder blades, over and over again.

The omnipresent force of gravity not only compresses the bones, muscles, and internal organs of the human body, but also puts immense pressure on the deepest cellular genes.

In such an environment, the body's greatest potential is forced out, resulting in a maximum increase in strength and power.

The muscles were bulging and the veins were bulging, like dragons and snakes wrestling and fighting.

The bones clanged and clashed, like weapons clashing.

The five internal organs, carrying their own vital energy and blood, flow like ocean tides, wave after wave, endlessly.

The entire room was filled with sweltering heat, which, as Jiang Chen brandished his battle blade, transformed into a scorching gale that lashed against the walls.

This extreme training lasted for half an hour before Jiang Chen reluctantly walked out of the gravity chamber.

"It's a pity there wasn't enough time, otherwise my strength would have improved dramatically."

After Jiang Chen emerged, he began cultivating genetic energy.

After undergoing extreme training in a gravity chamber, cultivating gene energy is ten times faster and more efficient than ordinary cultivation.

For Jiang Chen, whose cultivation speed was already astonishing, this improvement was even more significant.

He sat cross-legged, his palms facing the sky, and cosmic energy, like a surging river, poured into his body, greedily absorbed by his cells and genes, constantly improving and strengthening him...
