38: Chapter 38 Gravity Chamber! Near Death, Limits? You teach me!

"Crack—!!"

Inside a luxurious room, Jiang Nishang's eyes were filled with rage as she smashed her phone into pieces!

"Trash! Two pieces of trash!"

"You couldn't even handle someone from a small backwater place, and you ended up half-crippled by someone else! A waste of my resources!"

Jiang Nishang slumped back into her chair, her stunningly beautiful face flushed red with extreme anger, her two northern hemispheres heaving up and down, nearly breaking free from the constraints of the tiny scrap of fabric to see the light of day.

She took deep breaths for a long while, her eyes tightly shut.

Then, she opened them abruptly!

"Jiang Yanqiu! It's been three years, three years!"

"I thought you had accepted your fate, that you were going to stay in that small place until you died! But why are you still unwilling to give up?"

"Heh—don't think you've won just because of this time. At worst... we'll start over! I want to see how many years it will take you in that godforsaken place before you can wait for the next possibility!"

"But I'm different; I have opportunities every year! This time, I'll concede. I hope... you can concede just like me!"

Jiang Nishang took out a spare phone, dialed a number, and spoke a few words to the person on the other end.

Then, she crushed the entire phone with force!

She rubbed her palms slightly, letting the fragments fall piece by piece.

...

The next day, at the training grounds.

After tossing the spirit mist water he had just received to Dong Dajin, who was beside him, Lu Qingyun stared into the distance, his eyes unfocused.

After returning yesterday, he learned from Dong Dajin what kind of whirlpool he was currently in.

Of course, this might not necessarily be considered a whirlpool.

Jiang Yanqiu came from a prominent aristocratic family, the kind that held status throughout the entire Lanchuan Province.

And the Jiang Family was different from other families.

It was the family with the most external martial artists, and a large portion of the entire family's combat power even relied on external martial artists.

The reason for all of this lay in the Jiang Family's special tradition.

After the descendants within their family reached a certain age, they would be arranged to go to various places to hold certain important positions.

During this period, their main purpose was to select and cultivate promising talent for the family.

However, during this period, they would not receive any resources from the family at all; they had to rely entirely on themselves!

Only after reaching certain assessment standards could they return to the family to continue receiving cultivation.

So in reality, there was no competitive relationship between Lu Qingyun and the others.

As for why it had developed to this extent, one could tell from the place where Jiang Yanqiu had been assigned.

An exceptionally remote small city—the probability of producing a prodigy there was extremely rare!

If she hadn't been targeted, how could she have ended up in that situation!

"At the end of the day, it's because she didn't manage her social connections well."

Lu Qingyun had a lot of say in this regard.

From the beginning until now, he had always presented himself with a kind exterior.

Even when forced to take action yesterday, he had held the greatest goodwill toward others.

So, up until now, he could say he had no enemies.

It was just that he didn't know why, but he always felt that the way those people looked at him today was a bit guarded.

"Dajin, what do you think of me?"

"Need you ask? In my heart, you are definitely the best!"

Dong Dajin hugged the two bottles of spirit mist water and giggled foolishly. Upon hearing Lu Qingyun's words, he immediately gave a thumbs up!

This answer confirmed to Lu Qingyun that he had absolutely no problems at all!

"Hurry, hurry! Don't look back! Be careful not to get targeted by him; if he beats you half to death, no one will care!"

Several people from the same dormitory walked past Lu Qingyun, a trace of wariness flashing in their eyes, and their pace immediately quickened significantly.

Lu Qingyun glanced at them and silently memorized their appearances.

He prepared to find an opportunity later to properly turn around the image he had in these people's minds.

Boom—!!

A figure landed in the training grounds like a cannonball!

As the dust settled, an instructor with a hideous scar winding from the corner of his eye all the way to his neck slowly walked out.

He kept a cold face, his pair of eyes scanning the surroundings, filled with murderous intent.

When his gaze fell upon Lu Qingyun, his pupils contracted slightly.

This extremely subtle change was captured by Lu Qingyun's powerful spiritual energy.

He pursed his lips calmly.

After learning about the potentially existing whirlpool, he had prepared himself to be vigilant against anything unusual.

"Today, enter the Gravity Room!"

"The minimum standard is to move freely under Level 1 gravity. Those who fail the assessment will have three points deducted!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of many people changed instantly.

Lu Qingyun, who was located next to Dong Dajin, saw the little fatty's face fall into a mournful expression immediately.

"It's over, it's over, this is going to be miserable."

"Once the gravity presses down, there's no way to dodge it. Last time, just 0.7-level gravity made me wish I were dead; this time, I'm afraid my whole body will be pressed into a meat patty."

Judging from these people's reactions, this gravity field seemed like a living hell, filled with extreme pain.

But Lu Qingyun didn't care about this; he only knew...

In this short amount of time, this instructor had looked at him several more times!

The first time might have been because of what he did yesterday; the second time might have been because of his ridiculously handsome features.

Even the third time might have been because he saw that he was born extraordinary, destined to rule the world.

But if you keep looking, damn it, either you've taken a fancy to my looks or you've set your sights on me!

No matter which one it is, it's something Lu Qingyun cannot accept!

"How is this Tianjiao Camp like a sieve? Dong Dajin's medicinal soup is specially delivered every day, and this instructor is also acting strange. It's highly likely that this was set up by the person who is at odds with Jiang Yanqiu, as retaliation for my actions yesterday?"

"But fortunately, no matter how insane they are, they can't force themselves to kill me in front of so many people."

Lu Qingyun had already regarded the instructor in front of him as an imaginary enemy and was pondering what method he should use to kill him.

As for... whether he was overthinking it.

The philosophy Lu Qingyun always followed was: it is better to kill by mistake than to let one slip by!

In this high-martial world where human life is as cheap as grass, if one's heart isn't ruthless enough, then the one who dies might just be oneself!

If there is no chance for trial and error, then one can only preset everything to the worst-case scenario!

The Gravity Room was located in a strangely shaped building in the center of the camp.

It looked like an overturned bowl that had been sliced in half diagonally.

Upon seeing the narrow rooms divided into many small squares, Dong Dajin's legs were shaking.

His face was deathly pale.

Gravity is related to mass, and his strength belonged to the weaker batch among the crowd.

Yet this weight was the greatest of them all.

"Instructor Ji He, can we start from 0.7 level? I'm afraid..."

Dong Dajin gripped the two bottles of spirit mist water tightly, but even so, he still had no confidence in his heart.

"Afraid of what! How come everyone else can do it, and you're the only one making it special! Dilly-dallying, wasting my time!"

Instructor Ji He frowned, directly opened the door to one of the Gravity Rooms, and pushed Dong Dajin into it!

Then, at the control panel outside, he turned the applied gravity directly to level one!

Hum—!!

The sound of the Gravity Room activating rang out.

Dong Dajin, inside, couldn't care about anything else at this moment and immediately gulped down both bottles of spirit mist water one after another.

The next moment, terrifying gravity descended!

"Ah—!!!"

His fat body was instantly pressed onto the ground, and the gravity applied to every part of him caused the blood vessels on the surface of his body to burst, blood seeping out from his skin; his state was extremely painful!

And just at this moment, Instructor Ji He said coldly.

"Do not attempt to change the gravity level inside, or points will be deducted directly."

"With your score, I'm afraid you won't be able to have it deducted many times before you are directly dismissed."

It was unknown if Dong Dajin inside heard this sentence.

Because at this moment, he was almost like someone soaked in blood, and his consciousness had fallen into a blur.

But Instructor Ji He didn't even glance at him, his gaze looking toward the others, signaling them to enter.

However, at this moment.

A figure walked straight past his side, arrived in front of Dong Dajin's Gravity Room, and on his own, slowly decreased the gravity until it stopped completely.

"What are you doing!?"

Instructor Ji He shouted angrily. When he saw Lu Qingyun, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

He reprimanded: "Do you think you are saving him?"

"How can one break through their limits without experiencing the limit! Your self-willed behavior is completely harming him!"

His words moved some people who had originally seen Dong Dajin's miserable state and revealed unbearable pity in their eyes.

However, for Lu Qingyun, this was complete bullshit!

He saw it clearly; Dong Dajin inside had a fading consciousness, and his health bar was almost empty.

He didn't even have the strength to turn off the Gravity Room himself, yet the instructor in front of him didn't even look.

If he had been a few seconds later, Dong Dajin would have been either dead or half-crippled!

"The limit? Does Instructor Ji He understand the limit a person can reach so well?"

"How about we both go in together? You... teach me face-to-face?"
