104: Chapter 104 A Friendly Match in the West!

Under the terrifying pressure of one-thousand-fold gravity.

Li Fan's body instantly sank.

However, after adapting for just a moment, Li Fan was basically able to move freely. Given his current physical condition, one-thousand-fold gravity was clearly not his limit yet.

But wanting to increase it further wasn't possible.

After all, the highest setting here was only one-thousand-fold.

"Good heavens! One-thousand-fold gravity? Who's the tough guy in there?"

"Unbelievable! One-thousand-fold gravity, is he purely training his physique? I don't recall any Senior Students who were known for relying on their physical bodies."

"It's too exaggerated!"

Outside the door, there were more students passing by.

Upon seeing the number displayed outside the gravity chamber, their eyes all widened in utter astonishment.

They rarely ever saw anyone adjust the gravity chamber to one-thousand-fold.

...

Unconsciously.

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.

Only two days remained until the end of the special training month.

At this moment.

Di Yun, Luo Chen, Lin Youwei, and the other new batch of seeds who had come to the base had now all emerged from their closed-door training.

Currently, they had reached the limit of what they could improve. Continuing secluded cultivation wouldn't be of much use; they now needed a period of consolidation and settling.

And soon.

Upon learning that Li Fan was still in seclusion.

The entire group couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their mouths.

He had been in the gravity chamber for nearly half a month straight.

Li Fan was really a damned beast!

But then again, considering Li Fan's monstrous combat power, training this fiercely seemed quite reasonable.

In the afternoon.

Organized by Di Yun.

The group gathered in the leisure area, chatting casually about their experiences since arriving at the base this past month and making predictions about the upcoming assessment they might soon face.

The main topic, however, was the latter.

They had been at the base for almost a month, yet they knew absolutely nothing about this assessment, which made them very curious.

Apart from the assessment, they also chatted a bit about the inheritance pagoda within the virtual network.

That's right.

They had all already entered the inheritance pagoda.

Without exception, they were all defeated almost instantly, without even a chance to fight back.

So, for them, this place was simply absurd, completely unlike something left for them. Therefore, they didn't discuss the inheritance pagoda in too much detail.

Just as the group was chatting happily.

A figure slowly appeared at the entrance of the leisure area.

"Hello, everyone."

"The one-month special training is about to end. It seems everyone has made great progress!"

This was none other than Gu Dan.

Gu Dan, now wearing casual clothes, walked in slowly with a full-faced smile.

Seeing Gu Dan, the group all stood up one after another, greeting him.

At the same time, a flicker of surprise and anticipation couldn't help but flash in each of their eyes.

Since Gu Dan had brought them here, they hadn't seen him again.

His sudden reappearance this time.

Most likely meant he had something to arrange.

And their guess was correct.

After briefly exchanging pleasantries with them, Gu Dan stated his purpose.

"I'm here to notify you about something."

"Since the alien races have completely revealed themselves publicly, the seed program in the West has also been put on the agenda."

"Based on the principle of a human community, our Great Xia base plans to initiate some preliminary cooperation with the Western bases."

"The first of these will be a friendly match between the seeds of both sides, to be held in the virtual network in a few days."

"However, since most of the Senior Students from our first three batches don't have much time, only a few of them will participate. So, the main force will primarily consist of seeds from your batch."

"Regarding this friendly match, Great Xia does not intend to make it public. However, the Western side may broadcast the virtual network footage live to a limited audience, so it will have some influence. The higher-ups hope you will take it seriously."

As Gu Dan finished speaking.

Everyone present showed a hint of anticipation on their faces.

A friendly match with young Western geniuses?!

Since the spiritual energy revival and the mass awakening, due to the sea separating East and West and the unstable cloud layers, contact hasn't been that close.

Being able to spar with the younger generation from the West is actually a very interesting thing.

Especially hearing later that the Western side might do a limited broadcast made it even more interesting.

They all wanted to show the West what mysterious Eastern power looked like!

But soon.

Their anticipation didn't last long before a touch of gravity appeared on their faces.

If they could crush those Western prodigies decisively, that would be fine.

But if they lost, it would be embarrassing.

Even though there wouldn't be a domestic broadcast, it was inevitable that some Great Xia media would have special channels to obtain information about the friendly match.

"Don't worry. The main force for this will be those few Senior Students from earlier batches who will participate, along with Liu Ling and others from your batch. As for the rest of you, just treat it as a friendly encounter."

"Of course, if you can win, try your best to win. Just go all out."

Gu Dan clearly sensed their concerns and offered this reassurance.

When he said the last part, a clear edge of fierceness was added to Gu Dan's eyes.

Hearing Gu Dan's words, everyone nodded one after another, a renewed fighting spirit burning in their eyes.

That's right.

Just go all out!

Meanwhile, across the ocean.

In a secret base in the USA.

Many young people stood neatly in formation on a square.

Upon closer observation, the young people had various skin tones.

There were even quite a few who looked similar to people from Great Xia.

These were mostly people who had sought refuge here before the sinking of Sakura Country's islands and had now become citizens of the USA.

Although called citizens, in reality, their rights were not as extensive as those of other ordinary citizens.

At the front, a blond, bearded officer wearing a beret was giving them a morale-boosting speech.

"In the friendly match in a few days, you must give it your all and crush them!"

"Even though Great Xia's seed program started earlier than ours, I believe that in the face of your talents, time is no measure of your abilities!"

"This match will be broadcast live. I expect you not to disgrace our great nation! Is that clear?!"

The bearded officer roared sternly, his face red and neck thick with strain.

Hearing the officer's words.

The young people below all responded in unison, each brimming with fighting spirit.

"Natsukawa Kiichi, step forward!"

At that moment, the officer called out a name.

The next second.

A Japanese samurai holding a long sword stepped out.

"You are the strongest among this batch. Both I and the higher-ups have high hopes for you. We expect you to set an example when the time comes!"

The officer looked at him with a face full of expectation as he spoke.

In response to the officer's expectations, Natsukawa Kiichi immediately gave a very affirmative reply.

"Rest assured, I will make all of Great Xia's younger generation fall before my blade, showcasing the glory of the USA!"
