Chapter 121: Continuing the Cultivation

“Why did they stop outside the thirtyfold gravity chamber? That place is known as the forbidden zone of the Silver City Martial Arts Hall. Could it be that they intend to train there?” an awakened individual exclaimed in surprise.

“Are you kidding? Training inside a thirtyfold gravity chamber? I’ve never seen any awakened person dare to be that reckless.”

“Training under thirty times gravity? I’m afraid Yuan Yang would have his body crushed instantly.”

“Damn, that person actually went in? Is he really the expert you all were talking about? He…”

Everyone watched as Shen An stepped inside the thirtyfold gravity chamber. When the gravity was off, the chamber was no different from an ordinary room.

But once the thirtyfold gravity was activated, it became unbearable for any human. Even a second-rank expert would find it difficult to endure such immense pressure.

Senior Brother Zhou Yang spoke through the communicator attached to the chamber, warning Shen An, “Don’t say I didn’t warn you. You’re about to face a test of thirty times gravity. If you try to tough it out, your body will be crushed. If you can’t hold on, just shout. I’ll immediately cut the power from outside.”

“I’ll also call an ambulance if needed. I’m not about to let you die here in the Silver City Martial Arts Hall and ruin our reputation.”

Senior Brother Zhou Yang was clearly worried about Shen An—truly a man with a sharp tongue but a tender heart, just as the rumors said.

Shen An smiled lightly and replied, “Let’s begin. I have no problems.”

“Hmph, so stubborn. I give you good advice, and you don’t take it seriously at all. Fine, let the gravity chamber crush you then. I don’t care,” Senior Brother Zhou Yang said with a sigh.

“Gradually increase the gravity; don’t rush it. If you see anything unusual with the guy inside, cut the power immediately. Got it?” Zhou Yang instructed the disciples of the Silver City Martial Arts Hall nearby.

One of the disciples smiled knowingly. He was aware of Zhou Yang’s reputation for being sharp-tongued but kind-hearted. He couldn’t bear the thought of Shen An getting hurt inside the gravity chamber.

“Senior Brother, I understand. I’ll keep a close watch on the chamber. If there’s any abnormality, I’ll stop the gravity immediately,” the disciple assured him.

“Good, do exactly as I say,” Zhou Yang said with a faint smile. He didn’t believe Shen An could truly endure thirtyfold gravity.

After all, thirty times gravity was no ordinary force.

Inside the chamber, Shen An slowly closed his eyes and began circulating the Twelve-Character Mantra. His palms formed a seal before his abdomen as he exhaled gently.

After a short while, Shen An immediately felt the effect. The drifting primordial energy in the world surged toward him, absorbed into his body.

Soon, his talent value had increased by a full fifty points.

He glanced at the awakening panel to check his attributes.

Immersed in cultivation, Shen An was completely unaware of the passage of time, as if time itself held no sway over him.

At this moment, several awakened individuals gathered outside the thirtyfold gravity chamber. They noticed the chamber’s light was on. Whenever the green light outside the chamber glowed, it meant someone was inside and the chamber was functioning normally.

Someone actually dared to train inside the thirtyfold gravity chamber.

“Did that expert just enter? Senior Brother Zhou Yang?” a disciple of the Silver City Martial Arts Hall asked curiously.

Zhou Yang raised an eyebrow and replied, “Yes, he’s already inside. The gravity has been increased to twenty-five times now. I don’t expect it will be long before he asks me to shut the chamber down. Ordinary people simply cannot survive under thirty times gravity.”

A few girls who had heard the news also arrived outside the chamber. Many of them wanted to get close to Senior Brother Zhou Yang.

One fairly attractive girl’s eyes sparkled as she said, “Senior Brother Zhou Yang, I’m so happy to see you. You haven’t been at the Silver City Martial Arts Hall for a while. I came by several times but couldn’t find you. It was so disappointing.”

“Senior Brother Zhou Yang, is it true someone is training inside the thirtyfold gravity chamber? It can’t be a lie. This place is known as the forbidden zone.”

A tall girl peered through a small glass window of the chamber and saw Shen An inside, sitting upright. Sweat dripped steadily from his forehead, and his body trembled slightly, as if he were enduring an overwhelming force.

“I see him. There’s a handsome guy training inside. He’s really strong to be able to train in the forbidden zone of the Silver City Martial Arts Hall,” the tall girl said.

“Susu, come look quickly! The handsome guy who gave you his autograph is training inside. He’s amazing! I think he’s almost as skilled as Senior Brother Zhou Yang,” another girl said excitedly.

Dressed stylishly, Susu perked up upon hearing her idol was inside. She leaned toward the other girls and peered into the chamber.

Sure enough, Shen An was training inside.

“It really is him. He’s even stronger than I imagined. I should invite him to dinner sometime,” Susu thought to herself. Of course, she understood she couldn’t be too presumptuous. One should know contentment. After all, she had already gotten Shen An’s autograph; inviting him to dinner might be overstepping.

Such behavior could leave a bad impression on her idol.

“Make way, let me have a look,” Senior Brother Zhou Yang said as he gently pushed the girls aside. He didn’t believe Shen An could withstand thirty times gravity.

He glanced at Shen An training inside the chamber and furrowed his brows slightly. He even had the fleeting thought that the gravity chamber must be malfunctioning.

No one else could endure thirty times gravity. Shen An was like a monster.

“Are you sure the gravity chamber is functioning properly?” Shen An asked a nearby disciple.

The disciple replied, “Senior Brother, rest assured. We maintain this chamber every week. There’s no way it could malfunction.”

“I didn’t expect that guy to last five minutes under thirty times gravity. I want to see if you can hold out for six minutes,” Senior Brother Zhou Yang said, checking his watch. The time was precisely a quarter past three in the afternoon.
