In the Gravity Training Ground of Holy Light Academy, Bu and Reynold were slowly moving their feet.
They were currently in a fivefold gravity zone. Sweat was visible on Reynold's forehead; despite the simplicity of just stepping forward, he felt as if his entire body was being crushed, as if he were carrying a giant mountain on his shoulders, with his insides filled with stones. In contrast, Bu remained calm throughout, breathing evenly and showing no significant burden.
The vampire's physique was incredibly robust, exceeding that of ordinary warriors by more than double. After changing out of the Destruction Set, both Bu and Reynold donned standard warrior attire, relying solely on their physical attributes to train in this fivefold gravity zone, as this was the only way to achieve maximum training effectiveness.
After Kalandor and his companions officially entered the Outer Gate, the two began their daily intense training to prepare for the upcoming Holy Light Trial. By now, they had spent three days in this Gravity Training Ground, progressing from the initial onefold gravity to the current fivefold gravity zone. Reynold was nearly at his limit, gritting his teeth to keep up with Bu's pace.
"You should take some time to adapt here; don't push yourself too hard. I feel that this place isn't enough to draw out my potential. I need to go deeper," Bu said with a smile after noticing Reynold's struggles and then strode toward the deeper Sixfold Gravity Zone.
This Gravity Training Ground required five Honor Points for a day's training. After three days of training, they had already consumed thirty Honor Points, which was a significant expense given their limited resources.
"This Gravity Training Ground is an excellent place; training under such gravity can greatly stimulate one's potential and refine the body. In just three days, my physique has increased by two points, and both my strength and Agility Value have risen by one point. The only drawback is that the ambient energy here isn't dense enough; my twenty-sixth Acupoint remains unbroken."
Bu walked steadily, each step revealing the muscular lines defined by his warrior attire, exuding powerful explosive strength.
Before long, Bu felt his body sink again; his chest was compressed to the point where he could hardly breathe. His bones creaked, muscles quivered with sound, and his insides vibrated restlessly as his blood surged like boiling water.
He had arrived at the Sixfold Gravity Zone.
The mere increase of one fold in gravity nearly knocked Bu down upon entry. This was not a simple arithmetic problem; six times the gravity permeated his entire being, meaning he had to bear six times his own weight while moving. Even his insides suddenly felt six times heavier.
A heart can beat steadily, but what happens when it has the weight of six hearts? It would be like tying a stone to it; to maintain its rhythm, it must also move that weight. Without immense vitality and physical strength, one could not endure it; even those with weaker physiques might instantly suffer heart failure from the strain.
Bu gritted his teeth and slowly straightened his bent knees. Sweat poured down his forehead like a waterfall, trickling along his nose to the corners of his mouth, where he tasted a faint saltiness—a symbol of hard work that reflected his current gains. He could feel every muscle in his body becoming stronger through the strain and every bone growing harder with each creak.
In this Sixfold Gravity Zone, he was not alone. Not far ahead were several figures dressed in standard warrior attire as well, wielding weapons as they practiced martial techniques in this zone. Clearly, in terms of physical prowess, they surpassed Bu slightly, indicating that they must be at least Intermediate Level 4 or higher; otherwise, their physical strength could not exceed Bu's.
Time passed slowly as Bu gradually adapted from initial hardship. His body stopped trembling; although each step remained arduous, with every step he took leaving a trail of gathered sweat behind him. Every part of his body constantly endured intense stimulation while his physical strength increased steadily at a slow yet stable pace.
"In this place, the effect of tempering the body is excellent. I can feel that if I stay here under such pressure for another half an hour, my physical strength will surely increase again. And this is just the Sixfold Gravity Zone," Brent thought as he slowly stepped forward, gazing at the figures of a few people ahead, watching them skillfully wield their weapons, igniting a fire within him.
"Not enough. This slow enhancement is still insufficient. I possess a Vampire Physique; this is not my limit. Such pressure cannot fully stimulate my potential. If I were to venture deeper into the Sevenfold or even the Eightfold Gravity Zone, how much faster would my physical enhancement be under that level of pressure?"
Brent pondered, his eyes gradually flashing with a hint of madness. "With my body's recovery speed, even if I push myself to challenge deeper gravity zones and get injured, as long as I don't die, I can seize more opportunities. No pain, no gain; without injury, there is no progress. I must go for it and take a chance."
With that thought in mind, Brent no longer hesitated. His expression was incredibly determined as he took slow and steady steps forward.
One step, two steps, three steps—this steady and rhythmic sound echoed as Brent quickly approached the area where those people were located. Perhaps hearing the footsteps behind him, the group ahead turned around to look.
Upon seeing Brent's figure, one person momentarily froze. This tall individual wielded a double-bladed giant axe that looked to weigh over five hundred pounds; it was none other than Candice, whom Brent had met a few days ago.
"It's you!" A clear and pleasant voice rang out. Candice's face was filled with surprise as she looked at Brent's slowly approaching figure, seemingly in disbelief.
Hearing that familiar voice, Bu Shuang raised an eyebrow and looked forward. Upon seeing Candice, he too was momentarily taken aback, clearly not expecting to encounter an acquaintance here.
"It’s me." Brent smiled slightly and casually glanced at the other three people around him. Not recognizing them, he simply smiled politely and nodded.
Candice's eyes widened in surprise as she carefully examined Brent a few times before lowering her giant axe and chuckling lightly. "Brent, I didn't expect to see you here. Our last meeting was so brief; I didn't realize you were the recent rising star at the academy. I've heard some stories about you lately and found them hard to believe, but now that you're strolling through the Sixfold Gravity Zone like this, it's clear you have exceptional strength."
"Is he really Brent?" After Candice finished speaking, the other three showed signs of interest. One man with notably large ears suddenly spoke up, looking at Brent with a scrutinizing gaze.
Noticing their change in demeanor, Brent felt somewhat puzzled. "Could it be that I'm so well-known in the academy?"
"Junior Brother Brent, nice to meet you all," he said to the seniors present. "Candice, I need to focus on my training now; let's catch up later." Since he wasn't very familiar with them—Candice was merely an acquaintance—Brent decided it was more important to concentrate on his training. He clasped his chest in farewell and walked past Bu Yue and the others toward deeper areas.
Candice wanted to say something more but saw Brent turn and leave immediately after finishing his words. Her expression froze for a moment as she glanced at the three people beside her and then back at Brent who was gradually walking away. After a while, she suddenly asked, "Where is he going? To the Sevenfold Gravity Zone?"
"This can't be possible," said a young man with big eyes and a prominent nose, looking uncertain as he stared at Bu's back, his brows gradually furrowing.
"If this Sixfold Gravity Zone isn't his limit, then his strength is indeed quite astonishing. Even we can only manage to walk slowly in the Sevenfold Gravity Zone, and if we enter the Eightfold Gravity Zone, we would be unable to withstand it and might even get injured." The man with large ears spoke again, his expression growing serious as the doubts and disdain in his heart slowly faded away.
Candice took a deep breath, her gaze falling on the last person. He was handsome, with a somewhat melancholic look in his eyes. He had remained silent throughout, but when Candice looked at him, it seemed they reached some kind of unspoken understanding.
"Moses, you must be curious like me. Come on, let's follow him and see if he really has such great abilities." Candice's voice was clear and bright. After speaking, she stored her double-bladed axe in her Storage Bracelet and headed in the direction Bu was walking. The handsome man named Moses's eyes flickered as he followed her at a leisurely pace. The other two exchanged glances and nodded before following suit.
At the edge of the Sixfold Gravity Zone, Bu was drenched in sweat. His expression remained resolute, but there was an added layer of caution. Ten steps ahead of him lay the Sevenfold Gravity Zone, shrouded in a gray mist that obscured the view within, as if gravity had isolated this world.
Bu closed his eyes, calming himself to adjust his breathing rhythm and relax his muscles and bones to recover some stamina. Not far behind him stood four figures, watching him with curiosity and anticipation.
"How long do you think he could last if he enters the Sevenfold Gravity Zone?" the Big-Eared Man turned to Candice and asked with interest.
Candice pondered for a moment before shaking her head with a smile. "I don't know how long he can last. Why don't we make a bet based on how long he holds out? After all, it's all unknown."
"That's a good suggestion! How do we bet?" The Big-Nosed Young Man's eyes lit up as he eagerly agreed.
