11: Chapter 11: Is the Gravity Chamber Just a Sauna?

Jiang You sighed and said, "Teacher, don't get so worked up; your blood pressure is important. I left my meal card in my drawer, and that is my private property."

As he said this, he started walking toward his seat.

"Stop!"

Baldy Wang sneered and blocked Jiang You's path.

He had to regain his dignity in front of the whole class today, completely crush the pride of Jiang You, the negative example, and use this to warn the other students.

"You want to get your things? Fine."

Baldy Wang pointed to a transparent glass room in the corner of the classroom; it was a small, single-person gravity training room the school had just acquired.

"Jiang You, since you're back, why don't you give the class one final demonstration?"

"Go in and stand for five minutes. If you can hold out without kneeling, I'll let you take your things. Otherwise, get out!"

The whole class gasped.

That was the gravity room!

Usually, everyone had to wear protective suits when going in, and even 1.5 times gravity was extremely uncomfortable.

Baldy Wang was trying to kill Jiang You!

Jiang You looked at the glass room, then at his seat.

Too much trouble.

Arguing was tiring, and fighting was even more tiring.

Isn't it just standing for five minutes? My bed was too soft last night and my waist is a bit sore, so standing for a while might actually be good.

"Fine, let's make it quick."

Jiang You yawned, walked into the gravity room, and closed the glass door behind him.

A cruel smile curled the corners of Baldy Wang's mouth as he walked to the console.

"You ignorant brat. Today I'll let you know just how cruel the world of martial artists is."

He reached out and turned the gravity dial straight to two times.

Hum!!

The air inside the gravity room distorted for an instant.

With twice their own weight pressing down on them, an ordinary person's bones would groan under the unbearable load, and their blood circulation would be obstructed.

However, inside the glass room, Jiang You only swayed slightly, and then... he closed his eyes.

[Internal Chat Group]

[Legs (Surprised)]: "Huh? This feeling... is kind of interesting!"

"It feels like a pair of invisible hands are massaging my muscle fibers from every angle! Is this the legendary spa?"

[Spine]: "Refreshing! I was a bit misaligned from sleeping on a soft bed last night; this pressure is helping me reset my bones! Give me more! More pressure!"

[Brain]: "Environmental pressure increase detected. To reduce the host's discomfort, initiating forced sleep mode."

"Legs, maintain this posture, lock the knee joints. Waist, straighten up."

In reality, Jiang You stood in the center of the gravity room, eyes tightly shut, breathing steadily.

Not only did he not kneel, but he also stood straight as a javelin.

Even... a snot bubble started emerging from his nostril, expanding and contracting.

"Pop!" The snot bubble burst.

The whole class: "..."

Baldy Wang: "..."

"Is he sleeping?!"

A student couldn't help but shout, "Sleeping while standing under double gravity?"

Baldy Wang felt mortally insulted.

"Pretending! Let's see how long you can hold on!"

Gritting his teeth, he flicked his hand and twisted the dial to three times!

Hum! The floor of the gravity room let out a slight creak.

Under this kind of pressure, even an elite student with a Vitality value of 5.0 would have to lie on the ground gasping for air.

But Jiang You... except for his head drooping slightly because he was sleeping too deeply, his straight body remained motionless.

The bones inside Jiang You's body let out a series of pops like frying beans, but that wasn't breaking; it was... stretching.

[liver]: "Good stuff! The pressure is reaching the internal organs! Detoxification will be even more thorough now! Squeeze! Squeeze out all the deep-seated toxins!"

[Skin]: "Pores contracting! Locking in moisture! This pressure is perfect for tightening my Skin; it's all-natural anti-aging!"

[Legs]: "This technician's technique is good, but the intensity is a bit wimpy. Can we add another hour?"

Watching Jiang You, whose snot bubble was getting bigger and who had even started snoring, Baldy Wang lost his composure.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

"The machine must be broken! It shows three times, but in reality, it might not even be one time!"

Rage clouded his judgment. With bloodshot eyes, Baldy Wang grabbed the dial and twisted it all the way to the end!

"Five times gravity! Limit mode!"

This was already the limit of this teaching machine, even exceeding the safety red line!

"Boom!!!" The gravity room let out a roar like an airplane taking off.

The terrifying pressure caused even the bulletproof glass to develop fine cracks.

The girls in the class screamed in terror: "Teacher! Someone will die!"

However, under everyone's gaze, the boy standing in the center of the storm had his school uniform pressed tightly against his well-defined, muscular body by the pressure.

He still hadn't woken up. But his body instinctively reacted.

That was the self-counterattack of the [Legs] and [Spine] under extreme pressure.

"Hold it!"

A sound like a dragon's roar seemed to come from inside Jiang You's body; it was the sound of airflow being squeezed out of his [Lungs].

His head, which had been slightly lowered, suddenly snapped up. His feet sank, and with a "crack," he stomped two deep footprints into the special alloy floor!

Immediately after, a puff of black smoke emerged from the gravity generator.

Because Jiang You's physical resistance was too strong, the machine became overloaded, and the circuit board burned out.

"Pfft—" A cloud of thick smoke sprayed out, the lights in the gravity room went out, and the glass door popped open automatically.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Jiang You was choked awake by the smoke.

He walked out in a daze, waved away the smoke in front of him, and looked at the crashed gravity room with a look of disdain: "Teacher Wang, the quality of your sauna is not up to par."

"Why did the boiler burn out after only steaming for a little while? I haven't even broken a sweat yet."

The whole room was deathly silent. Only the sound of Baldy Wang's rapid panting and the crackling of electrical sparks from the machine could be heard.

Jiang You walked to his seat, took out the meal card with the Pikachu sticker from his drawer, and put it in his pocket.

Then he walked to the podium, looked at the petrified Baldy Wang, and sincerely suggested: "Teacher, if the school is tight on funds, don't buy these counterfeit and shoddy products; they leak electricity easily, which is very dangerous."

After saying this, he swaggered out of the classroom under the gaze of his classmates, who were looking at him as if he were a god.

Until his back disappeared, "Crack." The bulletproof glass of the gravity room finally couldn't withstand the aftershocks of the confrontation and shattered into a pile of debris.

Baldy Wang's Legs went weak, and he slumped to the floor.

He looked at the pile of broken glass, and only one thought remained in his mind: That was special glass capable of withstanding five times gravity... It shattered? It was shattered by him standing on it? Is this guy really a piece of trash with 0.8 Vitality?

Half an hour after the gravity room incident. Principal's office.

Principal Pang, who was usually dignified and profound, was now all smiles, holding a cup of freshly brewed premium Da Hong Pao tea, and personally handed it to Jiang You, who was sprawled on the sofa.

"Student Jiang, would you like to try this? This is my prized Yuqian Longjing... Oh, that's not right, it's Da Hong Pao."

Jiang You didn't even lift his eyelids and waved his hand: "Principal, just say what you need to say. I'm very busy and still need to go back and catch up on sleep. I was exhausted and sweating from that sauna of Teacher Wang's just now."

Principal Pang's mouth twitched. Exhausted? He had just watched the surveillance playback. That gravity generator, which cost three million, had been burned into scrap metal, and this kid, aside from having slightly messy hair, hadn't even caught his breath.

How is this a piece of trash with 0.8 Vitality? This is clearly a monster hiding its true strength!

"Um... Student Jiang." Principal Pang rubbed his hands together. "Tomorrow is the provincial senior high school mock joint examination. This is the final major exam before the College Entrance Examination, and it relates to the ranking and honor of our Jiangcheng No. 1 High School."

Jiang You yawned: "Oh, good luck. I wish everyone good results. So, can I go now?"

"No, no, no!" Principal Pang said anxiously, grabbing Jiang You's sleeve: "What I mean is, please make sure you participate!"
