159: Chapter 157 Training Begins, the Miserable Elites

The next morning.

On the training ground, the elites from various countries were already lined up neatly.

Yesterday's battle had made them thoroughly recognize reality—Luo Yu's strength was far beyond their imagination.

Godzilla and Mothra were powerful, and Luo Yu's own strength was not to be underestimated; it was ridiculously strong.

"Morning." Luo Yu walked into the training ground with Godzilla and Mothra.

"Hiss, hiss." Godzilla was still yawning.

"Chirp, chirp." Mothra also looked lazy.

"Marshal Luo Yu." Ivan walked forward, his tone much more respectful than yesterday.

"May I ask what the training content is for today?"

"Very simple." Luo Yu pointed to a mountain on the edge of the training ground.

"See that mountain?"

"I see it."

"Run there, and run back."

"It's that simple?" Ivy looked a bit confused.

"Yes, it's that simple." Luo Yu nodded and said, "But there is one condition."

"What condition?"

"You must strap gravity devices onto your bodies."

Luo Yu took out a wristband.

"This is the latest gravity wristband developed by the Dragon Kingdom. It can adjust the gravity multiplier. Each of you must complete the training under twenty times gravity."

"Twenty times?!" Everyone's expressions changed.

"Marshal Luo Yu, wouldn't that be too..."

"Too what?" Luo Yu frowned and interrupted him cleanly, "Do you think the three kings of the abyss will give you an easy environment?"

"..." Everyone fell silent.

"Put them on." Luo Yu distributed the wristbands to everyone.

"From now on, all your training will be conducted under twenty times gravity."

"Yes." Everyone gritted their teeth and put on the wristbands.

Hum! The wristbands activated, and terrifying gravity instantly pressed down on them.

"So heavy..." Ivan's knees went weak, and he almost knelt down.

"Is this twenty times gravity? I can't even stand steadily..."

Ivy was the same, cold sweat appearing on her forehead.

"Begin." Luo Yu said faintly.

"Anyone who doesn't finish running gets no food today."

"What?" Everyone's eyes widened.

But Luo Yu had already turned and left, leaving them struggling on the spot.

"Damn it..." Ivan gritted his teeth and took the first step.

But... under twenty times gravity, every step felt like carrying a mountain.

"Can't give up..." He took a deep breath and started running forward.

The others followed suit.

But... less than a hundred meters in, someone fell.

"No way... I can't run anymore..." An Awakener from the Western European Alliance slumped on the ground, gasping for air.

"Stand up!" Ivan turned back and roared, "Do you want to let the three kings of the abyss laugh at us? Marshal Luo Yu is right; the three kings of the abyss won't give us an easy environment! If we can't even persist through this little bit of training, what will we use to fight against the Abyssal Giant Beast army of the three kings of the abyss?"

Hearing this, the Awakener gritted his teeth and stood up again.

"Right... can't give up..."

An hour later.

At the edge of the training ground, Luo Yu sat on a rock, watching the people struggling in the distance.

"Hiss, hiss." Godzilla lay on his lap, also watching.

"Chirp, chirp." Mothra flew onto his shoulder, her antennae swaying gently.

"Can they persist?" General Zhan Kuang walked over, feeling a bit worried.

"Yes." Luo Yu said very confidently, "These people are the strongest elites from their respective countries; their willpower is far beyond that of ordinary people."

"It's just... they need an opportunity to break through their own limits."

"An opportunity?"

"Yes." Luo Yu said meaningfully, "Twenty times gravity is just the beginning. The following training will be even more brutal. Only in this way can they reach the level to fight against Abyssal Giant Beasts within a year."

"..." General Zhan Kuang was silent for a few seconds, then stopped talking.

Two hours later.

The first person finally ran back to the training ground. It was Ivan.

He was covered in sweat and pale, but his eyes shone with excitement.

"I... I did it..." He slumped on the ground, gasping for air.

"Not bad." Luo Yu walked over.

"There is a reward for the first person to finish."

"Reward?" Ivan raised his head.

"Yes." Luo Yu took out a bottle of potion.

"This is a recovery potion developed by the Dragon Kingdom. It can quickly restore physical strength and spiritual power. Drink it."

Ivan took the potion and drank it in one gulp.

The next second, he felt a warm current surge into his body, and the exhaustion vanished instantly.

"This..." He stood up and moved his limbs. "My physical strength... fully recovered?"

"Not only that." Luo Yu said meaningfully, "Your spiritual power has also increased a bit."

"What?!" Ivan quickly sensed the spiritual power in his body.

Sure enough. His spiritual power value had increased from the original five billion to five point two billion.

Although it only increased by two hundred million, this was accomplished in just two hours!

"This potion..." Ivan looked at the empty bottle in his hand, shocked. "It's too miraculous!"

"This is just the most basic one."

"In the upcoming training, you will come into contact with more black technology from the Dragon Kingdom, but the premise is... you must complete the training."

After speaking, Luo Yu turned to look at the others who were still struggling.

Over the next few hours, people returned to the training ground one after another.

Ivy was the second.

The lightning-type Awakener from the Western European Alliance was the third.

...

When the sun set, everyone had completed the training.

Although some were supported back by others, at least... they had all persisted.

"Very good." Luo Yu stood in the center of the training ground.

"You all completed the first day of training."

"But... this is just the beginning. Starting tomorrow, the training intensity will double, and also..."

Luo Yu pointed to the distant sea surface.

"You must complete the training on the seabed."

"The seabed??" Everyone's expressions changed.

"That's right." Luo Yu said calmly, "The water pressure on the seabed, combined with twenty times gravity, will double the effect of your training."

"Can we withstand it?" Ivy gritted her teeth.

"Yes." Luo Yu nodded and turned to look at Godzilla and Mothra on his shoulders: "Godzilla and Mothra will protect you."

"Hiss!" Godzilla jumped to the ground, its size expanding to ten meters high.

"Chirp!" Mothra also flew up, her wings expanding to twenty meters wide.

"See that? With them there, your lives will not be in danger, so... go ahead and train with confidence."

"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison.

"Alright." Luo Yu clapped his hands, "Today's training is over. Go eat, then get some good rest."

"Tomorrow will be even harder."

The crowd dispersed.

On the training ground, only Luo Yu and the two little ones remained.

"Hiss, hiss." Godzilla shrank its size and jumped back onto Luo Yu's shoulder.

"Chirp, chirp." Mothra also flew back.

"Good work." Luo Yu patted the heads of the two little ones.

"You have to work hard for the coming year as well."

"Hiss!"

"Chirp!"

The two little ones nodded simultaneously.

"Let's go." Luo Yu turned and walked toward the base.

"Time to go back and rest."

Night fell. The training ground returned to calm.

But everyone knew... the real challenge had just begun.
