Chapter 372: 0245 Cultivation under 20 times gravity, continuous improvement (4k for double monthly tickets)_2

It wasn’t that his movement technique had regressed, but its effectiveness had been weakened by gravity.

"The influence of gravity is too great. If I can achieve the effect of ’Stepping on Water Without Trace’ under 20 times the gravity, then my physical fitness should be on par with a Break Second rank."

Taking advantage of the free access today, Lu Chenzhou performed his not yet perfected fist and spear techniques several times. An hour later, he was gasping for breath as if he had gone through a fierce battle. After taking some Martial Arts Supplements, he rested to recover his strength before fighting again.

In this way, he persisted for four hours.

During this period, by using Inner Vision, he saw the Heaven and Earth Membrane of the Martial Arts Inner Realm buzzing and trembling. His muscles were constantly rubbing fiercely against each other. Bursts of electricity and thermal energy were continuously erupting, indicating that under the high gravity, the stimulation of Martial Arts on the muscles had intensified.

After resting for an hour, he continued Practicing Heavenly Pile. Inside the Inner Scenery Land, 89 acupoints shot out beams of starlight, which connected together. In the flickering of stars shifting, an invisible vortex formed in the vault of heaven, and eventually, the 90th star was materialized!

Boom!

From the 90 Heavenly Stars, a vast swath of starlight poured out, transforming into surging mysterious power that nourished the Inner Heaven and Earth. His muscles joyfully absorbed the energy, and his Qi-Blood value continued to climb.

Meanwhile, the Innate Strength of the Tiger Form and Swallow Form within the Qi Sea both experienced a rebirth. Both the quantity and the quality were incomparable to that before the completion of the 90 acupoints.

Lu Chenzhou showed a surprised delight.

"I did not expect that the hardest to open, the 90th acupoint, would be accomplished in the Gravity Room. I thought it would take several more days. Master said that the body undergoes a small-scale qualitative change the first time it is stimulated by high gravitational force. It really is so."

The previously complaining Lu Chenzhou now found the experience genuinely delightful.

With a mere thought.

Golden power flowed from his Qi Sea to his limbs and across his body. Then, it erupted from every pore of Lu Chenzhou, ultimately forming a layer of power that covered his entire body.

"Full Body Force, achieved!"

The next step would be Flawless Power. To achieve that, at least 120 acupoints needed to be opened. Flawless Power would not only cover the surface of the body but would also provide a layer of Power Armor around vital organs such as the viscera, thus reducing the damage from impacts.

Protected inside and out— that was Flawless Power. Coupled with the passive defense of Cross Training Golden Body, anyone not at the Break Second Shackles level presumably could not breach Lu Chenzhou’s defense.

"Continue. I’m not leaving the Gravity Room today. I’ll take full advantage of this free opportunity!"

...

Outside the Gravity Room.

An old man emitting the aura of a Breakthrough Third was idly Practicing Heavenly Pile. As a guardian in charge of such important equipment, he was responsible for safeguarding the area and preventing accidents.

Principal Wang quietly arrived.

"Is Chenzhou still cultivating inside?"

The elder promptly finished his Heavenly Pile Cultivation and said,

"Yes, he has been there for four hours."

"How many times gravity?"

"20 times."

Principal Wang nodded slightly and then turned to leave.

"20 times, not bad."

According to the military, normally, only a Martial Artist at the Peak with End Realm Qi-Blood and 120 acupoints could cultivate under 20 times gravity for more than one hour.

"With such strength, it’s barely enough to wander the world."

...

Silver Eagle Federation.

Blood Duke was looking at the beautiful face of a woman in the palm of his hand.

"Protector Gu, it’s almost been a year..."

Gu Qianqian said helplessly,

"He doesn’t leave the school, or if he does, with our methods, we’re unable to track him. Either way, Demon King, please be patient. We’ll act when an opportunity presents itself."

Bloody Duke asked,

"Why not send a Death Soldier to sneak into the school and assassinate him?"

Gu Qianqian replied,

"The Cold Mountain Elder who defeated you that day couldn’t even stand against the Three Extremes Saint at the All Nations Martial Arts Competition. This man is only a step away from the Heavenly King. Demon King, do you think there are any Death Soldiers who could kill someone under the watchful eyes of the Three Extremes Saint?

Not to mention we lack a Death Soldier of the Grandmaster Level, even if we did, we would not waste such precious resources for the sake of hunting down Lu Chenzhou. The loss outweighs the gain."

...

Deep into the night.

At the Su City Dragon Martial, inside the Gravity Room,

Someone was still burning with passion, relentlessly practicing their boxing.

"Tiger Enters Pingyang!"

"Tiger Crosses Over the Ridge!"

"..."

"Tiger Dominates Mountains and Rivers!"

Lu Chenzhou, lost in the practice of "Tiger Suppression Mountains and Rivers Boxing," was completely unaware that from the Martial Arts Tree above, another pleasing notification sound arrived.

[With inspiration, achieve twice the success with half the effort!]

Under 20 times gravity, his boxing techniques may not have been as sharp and fast as outside, but each move was fluid and smooth, without a single flaw, a natural masterpiece.

Under the influence of gravity, the True Skill Level boxing techniques stimulated the muscles like incoming waves of the tide. Paired with a moment of inspiration, the proficiency of "Tiger Suppressing the Mountains and Rivers Boxing" progressed by leaps and bounds!

Proficiency +1.

Proficiency +1.

Proficiency +1.

At a certain moment, on the Martial Arts Tree, another petal bloomed.

[Tiger Suppressing Mountains and Rivers Boxing: Great Success (99%) → Perfection]

It was now midnight.

Having cultivated non-stop for 6 hours in the Gravity Room, Lu Chenzhou felt crystal clear throughout his body. He felt as if every single cell had been thoroughly exercised, feeling incredibly comfortable.

After comfort, came fatigue.

"I haven’t even experimented with the Cross Training feature yet..."

Lu Chenzhou realized he had been preoccupied with Opening the Acupoint and practicing his boxing.

"Never mind, I’ll leave it till tomorrow. The Gravity Room has drained me today."

He looked towards the Martial Arts Tree, where a new Divine Seed had taken form.

[Divine Seed·Tiger Dominates Mountains and Rivers (Fourth Rank), stored in the He Gu Acupoint

Effect 1: Tiger Wisdom Fourth Rank, enhances general Fist Technique comprehension to a certain extent

Effect 2: Tiger Form Fourth Rank, enhances Tiger Form Fist Boxing comprehension to a certain extent

Effect 3: Suppressing Mountains and Rivers, burning Qi-Blood, greatly sublime one’s power, gather all Essence, Qi, and Spirit to launch an invisible Qi field attack. Within the Qi field range, evil spirits below your level by a full Realm will be unconditionally annihilated, evil spirits and Transcendents of the same Realm with weaker spiritual power will also suffer suppression from the Qi field and fall into a rigid state.

The Qi field can also resist spiritual attacks from enemies. When the enemy’s Realm is higher than yours, but not by a full Realm, the Qi field will persist for three breaths. Within these three breaths, you will not be affected by spiritual attacks; if the strength difference is too significant, the Qi field will be ineffective.]

"This Effect 3 is the killing move [Suppressing Mountains and Rivers]."

Lu Chenzhou understood that after True Skill, exclusive effects were [Martial Arts Killing Moves]. The number of killing moves in Martial Arts equals the number of exclusive effects.

Generally speaking, Perfection of Lower Grade True Skill grants the comprehension of one killing move; accordingly, Middle Grade True Skill grants two, Superior True Technique grants three, and Divine Skill starts with four.

As for Supreme Divine Skill, it guarantees at least seven killing moves.

Feeling tired, Lu Chenzhou left the Cross Training Chamber; he was about to head to the Void Realm of Changbai Mountain, and this was a good opportunity to test the effect of [Suppressing Mountains and Rivers].

"Spiritual attacks and defenses integrated into one killing move must be very powerful."

...

Outside the Gravity Room, at some point, an elder had appeared.

Calm and collected, he was practicing Heavenly Pile through the night.

Lu Chenzhou only remembered this person’s title was [Embracing Fountain Turtle].

The Turtle Form had average combat power, but it generally conferred some lifespan extension.

When considering future combined training, this could also be a factor to consider.

Seeing Lu Chenzhou emerge, the elder opened his deep eyes.

His silent power was comparable to that of Qingtian Cang.

Lu Chenzhou quickly greeted:

"Elder, are you the guardian of the Gravity Room?"

The old man smiled and said,

"Yes... Not bad, young man, quite enduring."

A 20-fold gravity was the limit for Martial Artists.

Under such extremes, Lu Chenzhou had stayed for 8 hours.

Having seen much, the elder was also astonished.

Returning to the villa.

Lu Chenzhou tested his Qi-Blood.

[Congratulations, your Qi Blood Value is 38 points, only 5 points away from the End Realm standard.]

"Phew... less than two years’ time, and my Qi-Blood is nearing the End Realm. My ’Tiger Demon Tai Sui Technique’ is not far from the Third Layer; in a few days, it could be significantly improved."

Improving his Qi-Blood was not difficult for him.

...

The next day.

Lu Chenzhou got up at eight o’clock, feeling the aftermath of his all-out session in the Gravity Room the previous day; his muscles ached immensely, as if they’d been filled with lead.

"Indeed, moderation is key..."

Lu Chenzhou looked at his body covered in red dots, but he wasn’t panicked. He took out a Rejuvenation Qi Pill and, after taking it, the gentle medicinal effect started healing his injuries.

Before long, the red dots began to fade.

Lu Chenzhou moved his limbs and stood in front of the mirror examining himself.

"It’s different after opening 90 acupoints."

In a thought.

He arrived at the peak of the Martial Arts Inner Realm, looking at the spiraling stairs in front of him, he stepped forward with determination. In no time, he had reached the third viewing platform.

"This is the true Martial Arts End Realm."
