The weakest martial artist? One punch and he's leveled up a whole realm!

The second trip this morning is not over yet.

The students of Class 9 (Regular).

To everyone's surprise, Ye Xiao stopped attending class and left.

Before leaving.

Ye Xiao spoke a few words to Fatty Wang alone.

The sound wasn't loud, but many people heard it.

"Fatty Wang, I'm going to the gravity training tower. Wait for me for lunch."

It's a seemingly simple sentence.

But in fact.

The scene where Ye Xiao is talking to Fatty Wang alone.

Let the other students see it.

Originally, these people were drawn to Wang Pangzi because he was close to Ye Xiao.

This led them to isolate Ye Xiao.

At the same time, it also isolated Fatty Wang.

Ye Xiao's small display of authority during his first practical lesson revealed his potential.

It effectively deterred the students.

At the same time, he also showed others through his actions.

He has a very good relationship with Fatty Wang.

Don't assume that after he leaves...

These people can bully Fatty Wang.

as predicted.

After Ye Xiao left.

The group of students quickly surrounded Fatty Wang.

They all asked questions at once.

"Fatty Wang, are you close to Ye Xiao?"

Were you classmates before?

"Why is Ye Xiao's actual combat strength so high despite his poor profession and low cultivation level?"

"Was he a very good fighter before?"

"......"

Suddenly, Fatty Wang became the most popular person in the class.

Many students surrounded him, asking him all sorts of questions.

It carries a connotation of flattery and ingratiation.

Wang Pangzi couldn't stop smiling.

How did he actually know Ye Xiao?

We only met for the first time yesterday.

He just didn't treat Ye Xiao the way others did.

And that is precisely why.

Fatty Wang gained a steadfast friendship from Ye Xiao.

Many years later.

When Fatty Wang reminisced about the past.

I still feel nostalgic about the day he first met Ye Xiao.

He made the best decision of his life.

......

Jiang City Martial Arts University.

Gravity training tower.

It stands in the north area of ​​the college, entirely cast from an unknown black alloy, and has a total of nine floors.

Therefore, it is also known as the "Nine-Story Black Pagoda".

The surface is undecorated, except for white numbers engraved at the entrance of each floor.

1、2、5、10、20、50、80、100、极限。

These numbers are not meaningless.

Instead, they represent different multiples of gravity.

The tower is octagonal, narrowing upwards on each level, resembling a black sword stuck upside down in the ground.

The top of the tower is often shrouded in clouds and mist, a special weather phenomenon caused by the distortion of air by the gravitational field.

On sunny days, sunlight shines on the tower, reflecting a dark metallic sheen.

On cloudy days, the entire tower looks like a black nail, nailed between the sky and the earth.

What is most impressive are the "scars" on the surface of the tower.

Those are the marks left on the tower walls by the aftershocks of powerful practitioners' fists and spells as they cultivated inside the tower over the years.

There were deep fist marks, charred lightning patterns, sword marks, and claw marks.

No one has bothered to repair these marks, because they are the tower's medals.

At the base of the tower is a massive archway, three zhang high and two zhang wide, with an inscription above the lintel:

"Under the force of gravity, all beings are equal."

For magic-based cultivators, gravity is a burden.

Because the flow of spiritual energy is slow here, casting spells requires more mental energy.

But this also indirectly pushes mental energy to its limits.

It is a very good environment for cultivation.

For a warrior, gravity is the best whetstone.

Every punch involves fighting against gravity; every breath consumes more oxygen; every drop of blood endures greater pressure.

One punch in this environment is equivalent to ten punches outside.

Moreover, gravity stimulates the body to instinctively strengthen itself—increasing bone density, thickening muscle fibers, and accelerating blood circulation.

.......

Before Ye Xiao arrived at the entrance of the gravity training tower.

Many students are also queuing here.

However, these are all third- or fourth-year students.

They have special gravity training cards.

The arrival of unfamiliar faces like Ye Xiao.

This also attracted the attention of these people.

"A strange face has arrived?"

"Looks like a freshman?"

"Unstable breathing, weak strength, low cultivation level... How come the quality of our school's freshmen is all this bad?"

"Back when I enrolled, I was many times stronger than him."

"I heard that among all these new students, there is one who was admitted through a special admissions program?"

"What special recruitment? He's just someone with connections."

"Could this person be one of those people who get in through connections?"

"......"

Just then.

A series of knocking sounds came from the entrance of the gravity training tower.

A hoarse voice came from ahead.

"Hey! Students in the back, are you still going to enter the tower to cultivate?"

"If you're not going into the tower, please make room in line so the students behind you can go in!"

The speaker was an old man, dressed in drab overalls, carrying a cane, leaning against a pillar next to the tower gate.

His face was deeply wrinkled, and his eyes were narrowed to slits, making him look like the most ordinary gatekeeper in the college.

"Uncle Hei! We're going in now."

The students who were just talking about Ye Xiao seemed to be quite afraid of the old man in charge of the gravity training tower.

They quickly and efficiently took out the gravity training card.

Insert the card, enter the tower—all in one smooth motion.

soon.

Ye Xiao queued up and arrived in front of the old man.

"Hey, new face, is this your first time here?"

A hoarse voice came from in front of me.

Ye Xiao nodded: "Mm."

The old man looked him up and down, his gaze lingering on the faded T-shirt.

Which class are you in?

"Class 9, Freshman Year".

The old man said "Oh," and then asked:

"What's your occupation?"

"A warrior."

The students in line behind Ye Xiao immediately understood his profession.

Everyone got excited.

"Is he really one of those people who got in through connections?"

"The only E-rank talent failure among this year's freshmen!"

"How did he end up here?"

"Hey! You're a 'connected' type, this is a place for third-year students. You're a freshman, get out of here and stop causing trouble!"

"......"

The old man opened his squinting eyes a crack, looked at him for two seconds, and then smiled.

"A warrior... that's a very rare profession."

"However, if you want to enter the Gravity Training Tower, you need a Gravity Training Card. Do you have one?"

Ye Xiao took out the card that his homeroom teacher had lent him and handed it over.

The old man glanced at it.

"Oh, it's Xiao Zhou's teacher's card."

"It seems he values ​​you a lot."

"Alright, you can go in now."

As he spoke, the old man inserted the card into the special slot.

He said, "Just remember to take this card when you come out."

obviously.

This measure was taken to prevent people from wasting time and not training properly inside the gravity training tower.

Ye Xiao was preparing to enter the gravity training tower.

Suddenly, the old man thought of something.

"Oh, by the way, let me remind you of something."

"Don't go up to the 5th floor or higher in the gravity zone."

Ye Xiao asked curiously, "Why?"

The old man chuckled and said, "Because someone died there."
