13: Chapter 13 Ten Times Gravity, Ten Sets of "Fierce Tiger Fist"

Tenfold gravity...

Lin Yun had never tried such a high multiplier before.

"Yingxue, it is fine."

Lin Yun patted Su Yingxue's hand, signaling her to be at ease.

"Listen to Sister Wen Yan; she knows more than we do. Besides, I also want to know where my current limit lies."

Su Yingxue was still a bit worried, but under Lin Yun's reassurance, she nodded.

"Go ahead."

Wen Yan had already set the control panel of the Gravity Chamber.

"Remember, ten sets of 'Fierce Tiger Fist', not a single set less. Come out only after you finish."

Lin Yun took a deep breath and walked into the Gravity Chamber.

The door slowly closed.

As Wen Yan pressed the start button, Lin Yun felt his body suddenly sink!

Tenfold gravity!

This was not just ten times the weight; it was every cell in his body bearing tenfold the pressure.

His blood flow slowed, breathing became difficult, and even lifting his arms became exceptionally arduous.

"Hoo... hoo..."

Lin Yun adjusted his breathing, forcing himself to adapt to this state.

Outside the Training Room, Wen Yan watched Lin Yun's situation through the surveillance screen.

Su Yingxue stood beside her, nervously clenching her hands.

"Sister Wen Yan, is it really okay?"

"Rest assured, I know what I am doing."

"This kid has swallowed so many Medicinal Pills before; his physical fitness is much stronger than an ordinary first-rank Martial Artist. Although tenfold gravity is difficult, it won't be enough to hurt him."

"And..."

A trace of complexity flashed in Wen Yan's eyes: "He must become strong as soon as possible."

"Yingxue, you are pregnant now, and future resource consumption will increase significantly."

"Although the Lin family is wealthy, in this world where the strong prey on the weak, without strength, no amount of wealth can be kept."

Su Yingxue was shaken.

That's right, why hadn't she thought of this?

After becoming pregnant, she was filled with happiness and anticipation, but she had forgotten the cruelty of reality.

"I understand." Su Yingxue nodded earnestly, "I will work hard to Cultivate and not hold my husband back."

Wen Yan glanced at her, her tone softening slightly: "Your primary task right now is to nurture the fetus."

"The fetus grows by absorbing the mother's Qi and blood; the better you Cultivate, the more solid the fetus's foundation will be."

"But this must be gentle Cultivation; you cannot risk your life like that kid."

Inside the Gravity Chamber, Lin Yun had already assumed the starting stance of the "Fierce Tiger Fist".

He threw the first punch, which was at least five times slower than usual.

His muscles trembled violently under the tenfold gravity, and his bones emitted a groan of being overwhelmed.

But he gritted his teeth and continued.

Fierce Tiger Leaves the Cave—the wind from his punch was almost stagnant.

Tiger Roars in the Mountains—the sound was dull as thunder inside the Gravity Chamber.

Hungry Tiger Pounces on Prey—he used almost all his strength to complete this move.

After finishing the first set of punches, Lin Yun was soaked all over, panting like an ox.

But he did not stop; after a brief adjustment, he immediately began the second set.

Wen Yan watched from the outside, a trace of approval flashing in her eyes.

To be able to persist under tenfold gravity, this kid's willpower was indeed impressive.

Three sets, four sets, five sets...

Lin Yun felt his consciousness becoming somewhat blurred.

Sweat blurred his vision, and his muscles were so sore they had almost lost sensation.

But there was only one thought in his mind:

Cannot stop... If Sister Wen Yan says it is possible, then it is absolutely possible.

Six sets, seven sets, eight sets...

By the time he reached the ninth set, Lin Yun's movements were severely distorted.

But he forced himself to finish this set of fist techniques purely by willpower.

The tenth set.

Lin Yun was throwing punches almost entirely on instinct.

Every move and every stance was as slow as a snail, but he still completed it meticulously.

When the last move was finished, his legs went limp, and he collapsed onto the floor, lacking even the strength to stand up.

The door of the Gravity Chamber opened, and the tenfold gravity slowly dissipated.

Lin Yun felt his body lighten, and the feeling of returning to the human world from Hell made him almost groan aloud.

But he didn't even have the strength to groan; he just lay on the floor, panting heavily.

Wen Yan walked in and crouched beside him: "How do you feel?"

Lin Yun laboriously lifted his eyelids and squeezed out a smile: "It's... it's okay... I won't die..."

"Hard-headed."

Wen Yan snorted, but her eyes held a smile.

"Alright, rest for ten minutes, then start Cultivating the 'Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method'. Cultivating in a state of extreme fatigue makes the efficiency of absorbing Universe energy even higher."

Lin Yun nodded; he currently lacked even the strength to speak.

Ten minutes later, Lin Yun sat cross-legged and began to circulate the "Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method".

This time, he clearly felt the difference.

Although his body was extremely exhausted, his Qi and blood were circulating exceptionally smoothly under the guidance of the Cultivation Technique.

The surrounding Universe energy seemed to be attracted by something, gathering toward him frantically.

Because his body was in a "starving" state, every cell was greedily devouring the Universe energy.

Lin Yun could clearly feel his strength growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

An hour later, Lin Yun opened his eyes.

The fatigue had been swept away, replaced by abundant energy and even greater power.

"Not bad." Wen Yan nodded.

"Rested enough? Then continue. Still tenfold gravity, another ten sets of punches."

Lin Yun: "..."

Just like that, the entire day of training was spent under Wen Yan's "special care".

When tired, he would Cultivate the "Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method" to recover; once recovered, he would continue throwing punches under tenfold gravity.

This cycle repeated, almost without pause.

By the time training ended in the evening, Lin Yun was almost exhausted to the point of collapse, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.

He could feel that he was more than a notch stronger than in the morning.

Walking out of the Gravity Chamber, Su Yingxue immediately came up to meet him, using a warm towel to wipe his sweat, her eyes full of heartache.

"Husband, are you exhausted?"

Lin Yun shook his head and held her hand:

"Not tired. For you and the child, what is this little bit of hardship."

Wen Yan watched this couple, and that indescribable emotion welled up in her heart again.

"Continue tomorrow."

She dropped this sentence and turned to leave the Training Room.

Returning to her room, Wen Yan took off her training clothes and walked into the bathroom.

The warm water washed over her body, but she still felt restless in her heart.

"What exactly is wrong with me?"

She asked herself in a low voice.

She should clearly be happy for them.

Lin Yun had become stronger, Su Yingxue was pregnant, and the Lin family had successors.

Everything was developing in a good direction.

Yet she just couldn't be happy.

Perhaps it was because of Lin Yun's words, "Sooner or later I will marry you into the family"?

Perhaps it was because she saw how happy they were, while she had to pursue the Dao of martial arts alone in solitude?

Wen Yan shook her head, no longer dwelling on these thoughts.

She dried her body, put on pajamas, and lay on the bed.

Outside the window, the moonlight was the same as yesterday.

And in the bridal chamber, Lin Yun was gently holding Su Yingxue, his palm resting lightly on her lower abdomen.

Although he knew the fetus had not yet formed, he still couldn't help but ask softly:

"Was the baby good today?"

Su Yingxue nodded with a smile: "Very good. Husband, you trained so hard today, you should rest well tonight."

Lin Yun kissed her forehead: "Alright, I will listen to my wife."

The two slept in each other's arms.

That night, the light in the bridal chamber did not stay on until late.
