34: Chapter 34 Gravity Chamber? Turn it up to the maximum!
Gravity Training Area.
A massive underground space was divided into hundreds of silver-white enclosed chambers; this was the most expensive, and also the most highly regarded, training holy ground at Modu Martial Arts University.
Lin Yuan stood before the price list in the lobby with his hands behind his back, looking up to take a glance.
【Primary Zone (1-3 times gravity): 10 credits/hour】
【Intermediate Zone (4-8 times gravity): 100 credits/hour】
【Advanced Zone (9-15 times gravity): 300 credits/hour】
【High-Risk Core Zone (16 times gravity or above): 500 credits/hour (requires signing a liability waiver)】
"It really is a money pit."
Lin Yuan clicked his tongue. For an average New Student, completing a mission would only earn a few dozen credits; they wouldn't even be able to afford a few hours in a primary room here.
At this moment, many second and third-year students in the lobby were walking out of the primary and intermediate zones, shirtless and drenched in sweat, looking as exhausted as dead dogs, supporting one another.
"Old Zhang, I risked my life today and turned on 4 times gravity. I lasted twenty minutes and almost threw up my breakfast."
"Impressive! At 3 times, I felt like my internal organs were about to shift."
Listening to the discussions around him, Lin Yuan walked to the counter with an expressionless face, took out his student card containing over twenty thousand credits, and slapped it down casually.
"Open a room."
"New Student? Turn left to the primary zone and pick a room number yourself. I suggest starting with 1.5 times to adapt; don't push yourself."
"I'm not going there."
Lin Yuan shook his head and pointed his finger toward the door at the very end of the corridor, painted with red lacquer and bearing a skull warning sign: "I want to go there. The High-Risk Core Zone."
"Pfft—!"
The administrator spat out a mouthful of tea, eyes widening as he stared at Lin Yuan like he was looking at an idiot: "Kid, are you still dreaming? That area is for Third Rank Late Stage students or even Fourth Rank instructors! It starts at 16 times gravity! If a New Student like you goes in, you'll be crushed into a meat patty instantly! I'd have to go in and scrape up your corpse afterward; it's a huge hassle!"
"It's fine, my bones are hard."
Lin Yuan didn't waste any more words and directly entered the command on the console: 【High-Risk Chamber S01, reserved time: 3 hours. Set multiplier: 20 times.】
Seeing the "20 times" appear on the screen, the administrator's eyes nearly popped out of his head.
20 times gravity! This meant that if Lin Yuan weighed 75 kilograms, he would instantly have to bear 1.5 tons of weight! And this weight wouldn't just be pressing on his shoulders; it would be pressing on every single blood vessel and every single internal organ!
"Madman! Are all the top scorers nowadays madmen?"
Just as the administrator was about to force a cancellation of the operation, he noticed the system prompt: "Payment successful."
This was a fully enclosed metal room of only twenty square meters; the surrounding walls were made of high-strength sound-absorbing material, and the floor was made of specially crafted alloy steel plates.
Lin Yuan walked into the room, and the heavy airtight door slammed shut behind him.
"Hoo..."
He took off his shirt, revealing his lean and muscular upper body.
He pulled five bottles of 【Advanced Qi-Blood Pills】 from his pocket—these were bought via "crowdfunding" from that group of New Students just now—and placed them in a row beside him.
"20 times gravity, I hope you don't let me down."
Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he pressed the red start button on the wall.
"Hum—!!!"
The gravity generator inside the room started instantly.
The next second, a terrifying, invisible pressure squeezed in from all directions!
Lin Yuan's legs buckled violently, and his knees emitted a creaking sound under the unbearable load.
"Ugh!"
Lin Yuan let out a muffled groan, his face instantly flushing red, and the veins on his forehead bulged like earthworms.
The terrifying pressure penetrated his skin and acted directly upon his internal organs.
His heart pounded violently, as if it were about to burst from his chest; his lungs were compressed, and every breath felt like inhaling iron filings.
From his pores, fine beads of blood instantly seeped out, staining him into a blood-soaked figure.
【Warning! Warning!】
【Extreme environmental pressure detected... Body damage rate 15%...】
The red system alarm blared in his mind.
But there was no fear in Lin Yuan's eyes, only frantic excitement.
"This is exactly the feeling! Only this kind of pressure, pushing the limits, can force the God-Demon Body Forging Technique to its absolute peak!"
"System! Activate 'Overclocking' mode for me!"
【Command received! God-Demon Body Forging Technique operation speed increased by 500%!】
【'Overclocking' repair mode activated!】
Boom!
Inside his previously suppressed dantian, his golden Qi-Blood erupted instantly like ignited gasoline!
A warm current flowed rapidly throughout his entire body, repairing damaged micro-vessels and muscle fibers.
Under the crushing force of 20 times gravity, the previously imperceptible impurities in his muscles were forcibly squeezed out, and the newly formed muscle fibers became denser and tougher.
"Not enough!"
Lin Yuan grabbed a bottle of 【Advanced Qi-Blood Pills】, didn't even look at it, and tilted his head back to pour it directly into his mouth.
The medicinal power, sufficient to cause an ordinary martial artist to explode and die, erupted in his stomach, instantly turning into a surging torrent of heat that formed a perfect opposition to the external gravity.
Resisting the 20 times gravity, Lin Yuan slowly assumed a stance.
Throwing a punch!
Whoosh!
This punch was extremely slow, and every movement was accompanied by the cracking sounds of his bones.
Retracting his punch, then throwing it again!
Sweat had barely seeped out from his skin before it was evaporated into white mist by the terrifying high temperature.
Two hours later, the air inside the chamber was as scorching as a steamer.
The alloy floor beneath Lin Yuan's feet had actually been imprinted with two deep footprints by him.
At this moment, the skin all over his body exhibited a strange dark red color.
If you were to press your ear against his chest, you would hear a roaring sound like a rushing great river.
【Blood like mercury, heavy as lead!】
This was the sign of the Blood Exchange Realm reaching great success!
"Break!"
Roar—!
A long, dragon-like roar emanated from within his body.
Following this long roar, the bones throughout his body seemed to undergo some kind of qualitative change; the originally pearly-white bones shed their mortal hue at this moment, transforming into a dark gold filled with a metallic texture!
Golden Bones, great success!
Lin Yuan opened his eyes violently, golden light erupting from his pupils.
He casually threw a punch at the air in front of him.
Bang!!
Just the power of his physical body had actually struck the high-pressure air under 20 times gravity, creating a visible ripple!
Lin Yuan looked at his fist, feeling the seemingly inexhaustible power within his body.
"A swing of a single arm, ten thousand kilograms."
"Which is 10 tons!"
An ordinary Second Rank Peak's physical strength is no more than three thousand kilograms.
And he, he was more than three times that of others!
Relying solely on this physical body, he could go head-to-head with a Third Rank Peak martial artist!
"This is the God-Demon Body Forging."
Lin Yuan clenched his fist, and the five empty medicine bottles at his feet had been shattered into powder.
"Beep—!"
Time's up.
The gravity generator slowly stopped running, and that suffocating feeling of Mount Tai pressing down vanished instantly.
Lin Yuan felt his body was so light that it felt like he was about to float away.
"You... you're okay?"
The administrator looked Lin Yuan up and down as if he were looking at a monster.
He stayed under 20 times gravity for three hours, not only didn't die, but his energy and spirit are even better? Is this guy even human?
"It's just that the effect of this gravity room is average; it's only 20 times, and it doesn't feel as tiring as when I used to carry my little sister and run five kilometers."
"..."
Not as tiring as carrying your little sister?
Is your little sister a Transformer?!
