Chapter 33 The "Accident" in the Gravity Chamber: Is This a Massage Chair?

Night fell, but the training center of the Imperial Capital Martial Arts University remained brightly lit.

As part of their military training, freshmen had to take turns entering the gravity room at night for physical enhancement.

This was to help their bones and internal organs adapt to high-intensity combat rhythms as quickly as possible.

"Jiang Chen, number 01, enter Gravity Room No. 3."

The managing teaching assistant called out expressionlessly.

Jiang Chen yawned and walked out of the line. After a day of tossing and turning, his sleepiness had reached its Peak.

"I hope it's quiet in there."

He walked into Gravity Room No. 3.

It was a completely enclosed metal room, with complex gravity runes inscribed on the surrounding walls.

As the heavy alloy door closed, a cold, sinister smile suddenly curled the corner of the teaching assistant's mouth.

He quickly entered a string of commands into the control console; the original setting of "3x gravity" instantly jumped to "15x," and the "High-Speed Oscillation" mode was activated.

"15x gravity plus high-frequency oscillation—even a Martial Artist in the Organ Refining Realm would vomit blood if they went in. Kid, this is a big gift from Young Master Lei."

...

Inside the gravity room.

Jiang Chen had just found a corner to sit down, preparing to doze off for a while.

Hum—!

A terrifying pressure suddenly descended.

Without preparation, this sudden 15x gravity would be enough to crush a person's internal organs.

Immediately after, the entire room began to vibrate violently, like a dice cup being shaken frantically.

"Ugh!"

Jiang Chen let out a muffled groan, his body pinned tightly to the floor, unable to move even a finger.

This feeling was like having a dozen mountains pressing down on him simultaneously, and those mountains were also constantly doing the disco.

【Ding! Extremely harsh environment detected.】

【Gravity overload (15x) + high-frequency oscillation.】

【Warning: host's physical endurance is nearing its limit.】

If it were an ordinary person, they would have panicked by now, desperately pounding on the door for help.

But who was Jiang Chen? The more desperate the situation, the more peculiar his train of thought became.

"This vibration frequency..."

Jiang Chen laboriously adjusted his posture, pressing his back firmly against the vibrating floor.

"It's a bit like that broken massage chair back home. Although the force is a bit strong, but... it actually happened to shake out the lactic acid that built up from my running today?"

【Ding! System has detected the host's intention.】

【Attempting to assimilate the environment...】

【Activating skill "Nightmare · Immovable as a Mountain."】

【Converting high-frequency oscillation into "Deep Muscle Release," converting gravity pressure into "Full-Body Firming Wrap."】

With the System's intervention, the originally fatal crisis gradually changed its nature in Jiang Chen's perception.

The force that threatened to shatter his internal organs turned into a pair of invisible hands, giving him a deep full-body massage.

Each vibration acted precisely on his tense muscle fibers, shattering, restructuring, and strengthening those microscopic damages.

"Oh... that's it, a little to the left, yes, right at that spot on my waist..."

Jiang Chen groaned comfortably.

He simply sprawled out on the floor like a starfish, his face pressed against the cold metal, and before long, soft snoring sounds actually emerged.

Meanwhile, inside his body, his Qi and blood were surging like a rushing river, circulating frantically under the duress of the pressure.

Crack, crack, crack.

His bones emitted dense popping sounds under the heavy pressure, and their density was increasing at an astonishing speed.

The Bottleneck that was originally only at the Peak of the fifth level of the Bone Forging Realm, under the rough squeezing of this external force, actually showed signs of loosening.

Outside the door.

The teaching assistant stared at the surveillance screen, his brows locked in a frown.

"What's going on? It's already been ten minutes, why haven't I heard any screams?"

The surveillance footage was just static due to the interference from the gravity field; he couldn't see the situation inside at all.

"Could he have been crushed to death directly?"

The teaching assistant panicked. If a life were lost, even the Lei family wouldn't be able to protect him.

He waited for another five minutes, but couldn't hold back anymore; he reached out, turned off the gravity System, and opened the alloy door.

Hiss—

The sound of air pressure being released rang out.

The teaching assistant and several of the Lei family's lackeys who had come to watch the spectacle immediately leaned in to look.

They saw Jiang Chen lying quietly in the center of the room, motionless.

"Dead?"

"Hahaha, this kid is indeed finished!" one of the Lei family's followers laughed gloatingly.

The teaching assistant breathed a sigh of relief; as long as he wasn't completely dead, it would be fine. He hurriedly called for an ambulance...

However, just as they were preparing to go in and carry him out.

"Hmm... why did it stop?"

The "corpse" on the floor suddenly moved.

Jiang Chen slowly climbed up and stretched, his joints emitting a series of popping sounds like roasting beans.

At this moment, his skin displayed a healthy bronze luster, his previously somewhat thin frame seemed to have bulked up a size, and his eyes were bright and spirited. Where was there any sign of injury?

Boom!

A powerful wave of Qi and blood erupted from within his body.

Sixth level of the Bone Forging Realm!

Under the "massage" of 15x gravity and oscillation, he had actually achieved a Breakthrough directly!

"You... you..."

The teaching assistant pointed at Jiang Chen, looking as if he had seen a ghost, unable to speak clearly. "You're fine?"

"I'm fine."

Jiang Chen twisted his neck and looked at the teaching assistant with an unsatisfied expression. "Teacher, that vibration mode just now was pretty good, it's just that the time was a bit short. Can you set up a one-hour package next time? I haven't enjoyed it enough yet."

"Enjoyed... enjoyed enough?"

The teaching assistant's vision went black, and he nearly fainted.

That was 15x gravity plus oscillation! Are you made of iron?

Jiang Chen patted the teaching assistant on the shoulder, leaned close to his ear, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Although I don't know who told you to adjust the settings, thank him for me. I am very satisfied with this massage."

After speaking, Jiang Chen whistled and left the gravity area with relaxed strides.

Leaving a group of people in the wind, dumbfounded.

Walking out of the training center, the smile in Jiang Chen's eyes instantly vanished, replaced by a cold, icy glint.

"The Lei family, the Wang family... are you in such a hurry to send me experience points?"

He took a look at the blood moon in the night sky.

Since you want to play dirty, then I won't be polite either. What Nightmare loves most is hunting in the dark of night.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for reaching the sixth level of the Bone Forging Realm.】

【Unlocked new ability: Dream Invasion (Elementary).】

【Effect: Can forcibly drag targets within a hundred-meter radius who harbor malice towards the host into a Nightmare Space while they are sleeping.】

Jiang Chen's lips curled slightly.

"It seems someone won't be able to sleep tonight."
