Chapter 122: Thirty Times Gravity
Page (1/3) Chapter 122: Thirtyfold Gravity
Under thirty times normal gravity in the gravity chamber, every passing second felt like an eternity to an Awakened. Zhou Yang felt that Shen An had already reached his limit and could not possibly hold out much longer.
Even Zhou Yang himself, under thirtyfold gravity, could endure for no more than three minutes.
Three minutes might not sound like much, but throughout the Silver City Martial Arts Hall, such a result was already considered outstanding.
Many disciples of the Silver City Martial Arts Hall did not even have the courage to step into the thirtyfold gravity chamber.
Shen An had not only dared to enter the chamber, but had also endured five minutes under thirtyfold gravity. Even Senior Brother Zhou Yang could not help admiring him.
Senior Brother Zhou Yang glanced at the watch on his wrist. It was 3:20 p.m.
Shen An had actually remained inside for five minutes. Counting the time, he had already endured ten minutes under thirtyfold gravity. This astonished even Senior Brother Zhou Yang.
“I never imagined he could reach this level. His strength has surpassed my expectations.”
The Silver City Martial Arts Hall disciples nearby were also dumbfounded. Apart from the hall master, no one had ever dared to treat thirtyfold gravity as a place of cultivation. Shen An’s appearance had completely exceeded their expectations.
The hall master of the Silver City Martial Arts Hall was already fifty years old, while Shen An before them was at most in his twenties. To have reached such a level at that age—
What terrifying heights would he attain by the time he was fifty? Might he even become a Fourth-Grade expert?
In the eyes of these people, a Fourth-Grade expert was practically a legendary existence.
After all, their own strength amounted to no more than First or Second Grade.
Time passed second by second. Everyone standing outside the thirtyfold gravity chamber stared in astonishment at Shen An inside. Although the window was small, anyone who wished to look could still glimpse a few traces through the gap.
“He’s unbelievably strong. He’s the most powerful Awakened I’ve ever seen.”
“Has he been holding out for half an hour now? Could he be about to break the Silver City Martial Arts Hall’s record?”
“Who set the record at the Silver City Martial Arts Hall again? Wasn’t it the hall master?”
“I remember the hall master’s record was one hour. At this point, I feel like he might actually reach it.”
“This is terrifying!”
Shen An, cultivating inside the thirtyfold gravity chamber, was completely unaware of the voices outside. Cultivation demanded absolute concentration; even the slightest distraction or lapse in attention was unacceptable.

If one pursued the Great Dao of cultivation, even a moment’s carelessness could damage one’s path.
A smile curled at the corners of Shen An’s lips as he slowly opened his eyes. Sweat had begun to pour from him, completely soaking his clothes.
At that moment, he tried to raise his hand, only to discover that it felt as heavy as a thousand measures of metal. He had not felt this way when he first entered. Now, the sensation was excruciating.
He had already spent a full half-hour inside. To have felt such pressure only after thirty minutes was remarkable. At the very least, aside from the terrifyingly powerful hall master, no one in the entire Silver City Martial Arts Hall could have achieved this.
He continued circulating the twelve-character mantra, bringing his palms together in a seal before his abdomen as he slowly regulated his breathing.
After cultivating for another fifteen minutes, Shen An immediately felt the effects. Primal energy drifting through the heavens and earth surged toward him, flowing into his body.
Talent Value +100

Talent Value +100
…
In half an hour, his talent value had increased by a full five hundred points.
He summoned the panel and glanced at his attributes.
Talent: Devour — Rank A (1/50,000)
Talent: Space — Rank S (1/1,000,000)
Hidden Talent: Connection to the Future — Rank SA (1/10,000,000)
Available Talent Value: 102,000
Talent Shop: Psychic Powers — 500,000; Primordial Body Refinement Manual — 1,000,000
Even Shen An had reached his limit by now. After cultivating in the thirtyfold gravity chamber for forty-five minutes, he decided to leave.
If he continued forcing himself to endure, he might damage his internal organs. By then, the loss would outweigh the gain.
Still, the improvement brought by thirtyfold gravity gave him a sense of accomplishment.
If he had the opportunity, he wanted to cultivate in a place like this regularly. He believed that the people from the Silver City Martial Arts Hall would not stop him.

When Shen An stepped out of the thirtyfold gravity chamber, he discovered that the doorway was already surrounded by people.
They looked at him as though he were some kind of monster. By now, even if someone claimed that he was the strongest Awakened in the entire vicinity, no one would likely contradict them.
“He actually endured forty-five full minutes under thirtyfold gravity! It’s unbelievable. This is a miracle—a complete and utter miracle.”
“That’s absolutely terrifying. This guy… I’m officially a fan. I’ve never seen such a frightening existence. If I had even half his talent, I could become an expert at the Silver City Martial Arts Hall.”
“Expert, are you taking followers? If you are, please reserve a place for me. I’m determined to become your subordinate.”
“Enduring forty-five minutes under thirtyfold gravity… I can’t think of anyone capable of doing that. I’m afraid only the legendary hall master of the Silver City Martial Arts Hall could manage it.”
…
Everyone talked over one another, while Shen An was somewhat surprised. He had merely entered the gravity chamber to cultivate for a while. Was there really any need for them to be so astonished?
Had he done something particularly impressive? He did not feel that he had.
At that moment, even Senior Brother Zhou Yang, who had previously harbored grave doubts about Shen An’s strength, stared at him in a daze. Clearly, even he was profoundly shocked.
“You… you… You actually endured a full forty minutes under thirtyfold gravity? This… this… I’ve truly never heard of such a thing,” the senior disciple of the Silver City Martial Arts Hall said, utterly stunned.
Shen An asked, “Is enduring forty minutes under thirtyfold gravity really that impressive?”
That was impressive? Did he even hear himself?
Even a mid-Third-Grade expert would find it difficult to last ten minutes under thirtyfold gravity, yet Shen An had endured forty minutes inside. If those mid-Third-Grade experts found out, they would probably be furious enough to cough up three pints of blood.
Why? Why was it that, despite being Awakened of the same mid-Third-Grade level, Shen An could be so powerful while they were so weak?
This was completely unfair.
An Awakened from the Silver City Martial Arts Hall standing nearby looked dazed. Could this be how the legendary great experts spoke? As expected, the words of a true powerhouse were always astonishing.
“Expert, do you know what it means to enter the thirtyfold gravity chamber?”
