Swallowing the Stars: The Wind Sword Master.

Chapter 66 Gravity Chamber

12 month 1 day.

Around six o'clock in the evening, Jiang Fang led Ning Ze to the ninth floor of the Nine-Story Building.

Ning Ze followed behind. He had already been to the 'Trial Room' and the 'Challenge Room', and now only the 'Gravity Room' remained to be visited.

Along the way, the members they encountered bowed slightly in greeting. Having experienced Ning Ze's terror, they also realized the gap between them.

Although they were all students, they were not on the same level at all. Even though Ning Ze had not yet graduated, they still showed him some respect.

We arrived at the last gravity chamber.

Ning Ze looked around curiously. The room was square, and the floor and walls seemed to be made of alloy. The color seemed to be a mixture of black and yellow, with a bright and somewhat luminous luster, giving it a special feel.

Ning Ze's gaze quickly settled on a fist-shaped imprint. The imprint was only five millimeters deep, not particularly noticeable. "Who left this fist imprint? The gym leader?"

Jiang Fang's eyes lit up with a hint of admiration: "That's right! Only the museum master can leave a mark in the gravity chamber; no one else can do it."

"The gravity range of the gravity chamber is 1 to 1000 times! Your physical fitness is close to that of a mid-level war god, so you should be able to withstand several hundred times the gravity. I'll let you get used to it today, and I'll gradually increase it to 50 times after I turn it on."

"1000 times!"

Ning Ze was deeply shocked. He didn't look fat, but the gene enhancement of martial artists would increase muscle density, bone density, and even cell weight. His weight was over 85kg, and 1000 times that would be 85000kg, which was very close to the limit of his physical fitness.

But in fact, this gravity is no joke. Gravity alone means that it can affect every part of the body. It is an attraction generated at the atomic level. Even under gravity, muscle cells are not much stronger than internal organ cells. If one does not adapt, the extremely high gravity will cause the entire cell to collapse, and the person will die directly.

Even if his cells could withstand the evolved martial artist genes, he would still find it difficult to move under such terrifying gravity, let alone cultivate.

"here we go."

Ning Ze nodded and agreed immediately, "Okay, I'm ready."

"Beep!" Jiang Fang pressed the switch next to her.

Immediately afterwards, she quickly pressed a certain increase button, and the numbers on the display screen changed continuously—

2, 3, 4, 5...

hum!hum!

An invisible force descended upon Ning Ze's body, and he clearly felt his body begin to feel heavy. Even though his body could still bear it, his heart felt heavy, as if it were an alarm bell from every part of his body.

Under such stimulation, every cell in his body sensed the crisis and struggled to adapt to the ever-increasing gravity.

24...26...27...

At just 27 times gravity, Ning Ze felt extreme discomfort throughout his body. It wasn't just pain in one specific area; it was an overwhelming sense of oppression. His face turned deathly pale, and he swayed precariously. A voice seemed to whisper in his mind, "Get out of here!"

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

His heart was pounding hard, each beat heavy, as if a hammer were about to shatter his chest.

"In the gravity chamber, even if you stand still, your cells will still be trained. It can not only increase your cultivation speed by ten times, but it can also train some areas that you can't usually cultivate," Jiang Fang explained while increasing the gravity multiplier.

Ning Ze's heart was burning with excitement, ten times!

Everyone else can improve, but he can improve even faster!

He could already see the numbers scrolling across the system panel!

"What if we fought here?" Ning Ze looked at Jiang Fang with burning eyes, his meaning clear: he wanted to fight!

Jiang Fang couldn't help but smile when she saw his gaze. After yesterday's battle, she realized that this kid was a cultivation fanatic. The way he looked at her before was to scheme against her, not because he coveted her beauty like others. This made her feel very comfortable.

"Fighting here? It might be more effective, but you'd better be able to withstand this kind of gravity first."

Ning Ze nodded silently, sensing the changes in his body. He was still a little uncomfortable, but as gravity stabilized, the initial feeling of pressure had disappeared.

"Teacher, keep improving. I feel like I'm getting used to this feeling."

Jiang Fang frowned and warned sternly, "Ning Ze, don't push yourself. Exceeding your limits isn't just about pain and discomfort; it could cause your body to completely collapse, even your genes. At that point, even the Water of Life won't be able to save you!"

Ning Ze raised his arm and swept his sword horizontally twice. He checked his physical condition again and repeated, "Teacher, continue to improve. I'm not forcing myself. I feel great right now!"

Jiang Fang observed his expression and saw that he didn't seem to be in too much pain. Perhaps this was what genius was all about? She thought to herself, then turned around again and increased the gravity multiplier.

60...70...80...

Soon the gravity exceeded 100 times. Jiang Fang stopped and warned seriously, "That's all. Cells need time to adapt. Try cultivating today. You have 90 hours of cultivation time this month anyway. Take it slow and don't take too many risks."

"Okay!" Ning Ze nodded in agreement. He was indeed feeling very unwell. Even though the gravity multiplier had stopped increasing, he still felt immense pressure, as if a mountain was pressing down on his body. His heart was also heavy.

"You can train on your own. Once you've adapted, I can fight you in the gravity chamber."

Jiang Fang had a bright smile on her face. Although she had felt a little awkward before, she knew that teaching such a genius had its benefits.

The entire training camp consists of only one "gravity room", one "trial room", and one "challenge room".

Even the instructors at the training camp rarely use the three rooms. There is a replica of a "gravity chamber" downstairs, but what use is three to five times the gravity to a war god? The closer the gravity chamber is to the limit, the better the training effect will be.

Other students only have a few hours a month, and the other students don't practice sparring with the teacher. Their physical condition is very poor, so it has no effect on the teacher at all.

She was different. Although there was a difference in their physical abilities, they were not much different when they exerted their strength in battle. Even though Ning Ze's gravity was not her limit, she was still able to improve rapidly.

With 90 hours to spare, and Ning Ze spending 15 days training in the camp, that's 6 hours of training time per day, which will greatly improve her strength!

"Okay, teacher, I will adapt as soon as possible. I feel that my cultivation speed will be much faster when I fight with you." Ning Ze did not force himself. He had already tried it. Under such gravity, he had no accuracy in wielding his sword, let alone fighting with Jiang Fang. Being hit would be meaningless.

Jiang Fang nodded slightly, smiled sweetly, and turned to leave. She was in a good mood as she walked out of the gravity chamber, and her steps were much lighter.

Teaching students can also improve her own cultivation speed. This is perfect. After she finishes teaching Ning Ze, she will be able to reach the level of a high-level war god!

How could she not be happy in this situation? I just don't know how long she can keep smiling.

Inside the gravity chamber, Ning Ze had already begun his frenzied cultivation, his feet constantly shifting and moving, leaving afterimages throughout the room.

He unleashed a series of sword moves, sword shadows covering his entire body. However, compared to his previous training, the sword shadows were not very coherent, and his movements were not as smooth as before, instead appearing somewhat stiff.

Ning Ze ignored those things and tried his best to make his movements precise.

The numbers on the system panel were scrolling rapidly, and his strength was increasing at a rate dozens of times faster than he usually did during training!

Half an hour later, he walked to the controller and pressed the button that Jiang Fang had pressed earlier, and the gravity multiplier increased again...

the next day.

December 2nd, today is an even-numbered day.

Ning Ze went out early to hunt monsters. In the morning, he was still rapidly killing monsters in the wilderness, but in the afternoon he did not change locations.

This is a vast forest. Although it is winter now, most of the trees are still evergreen. The east wind is blowing, and this forest looks like a green ocean.

"Coo coo...coo coo..."

A short bird call, like that of a cuckoo, rang out, and dozens of bird monsters scattered from the giant tree. In the distance, the sky above the forest was ablaze with fiery red, crimson gold, dark blue, sea blue, white... countless bird monsters circled in the sky, a scene even more splendid than a summer flowerbed.

"Boom!"

A colossal creature, over ten meters tall, crashed to the ground, crushing and pulverizing the giant tree that the bird-like monster had just flown away from.

The earth was trembling violently, and the ground nearby was cracking open. Even trees that were not hit by the impact were falling or leaning to one side.

It was a raging golden bear of mid-level lord rank. It was over ten meters tall, covered in long, golden fur, and its round head was nearly three meters in diameter. Its thick limbs looked powerful, and its two-meter-long, sharp claws gleamed coldly.

"roar!"

A furious roar.

The enraged golden bear's thirty-centimeter-diameter eyes were filled with terror. Its massive body rolled over and stood up, then hurriedly took its thick little legs and ran forward.

Swish!

A white figure suddenly appeared in front of it, standing on the canopy of a tree. His snow-white combat uniform swayed slightly with the rhythm of the oval leaves, which tilted into a circle as if an invisible wind was blowing them.

"roar!"

With another short, angry roar, the enraged golden bear turned and ran, no longer daring to fight this human. They had been fighting since ten in the morning until the sun was about to set, and this human was indestructible, tireless, and seemingly invincible. The bear felt as if it had endured a full-blown ordeal, and now it was tasting the taste of death.

"Useless! You're tired after only seven hours? I still have an hour before I get back!"

Ning Ze grew impatient, his eyes hardening with murderous intent. "Since it's useless, then die!"

Ning Ze bowed slightly, stepped on his right foot, and shot forward in the next instant. In 0.1 seconds, he appeared on the top of the tree canopy 20 meters away, while the previous tree had collapsed with a crash.

He jumped several times in succession.

2 seconds.

He had caught up with the enraged golden bear, and this time he landed directly on the monster.

Under such a threat, the smell of death became even stronger. The enraged golden bear was terrified and hurriedly shook its body, but it still felt a figure stepping on it.

It tumbled to the ground, its body rolling around, its golden fur shimmering like the surface of a lake in the afternoon. The enraged golden bear wildly slapped itself with its paws, making "thump thump thump" sounds, still making its last struggle in the face of life and death.

"sucker Punch!"

As soon as it finished speaking, a white figure appeared in front of it. The figure then began to grow rapidly, and a silvery-white light flickered in its black pupils.

"puff!"

The sound was somewhat like a water balloon being pierced. The light sword pierced into the left eye of the enraged golden bear, spun around in its brain, and then flew out from its right eye.

When it returned to Ning Ze's hands, the Qinghong Longsword was still completely silver-white, without a trace of dirt.

With two loud thuds, the giant bear's forelimbs fell limply to the ground.

Ning Ze frowned slightly. "It's not easy to bring back a Lord-level monster, but we can't just throw it away. This mid-level Lord-level Raging Golden Bear is worth at least 50 billion Chinese Yuan, and I can't even sell it myself."

He quickly thought of a name, so he raised his hand and made a phone call.

The communication was quickly established.

Xu Gang appeared on the screen with a fawning expression, saying enthusiastically, "Brother Ning, what's the matter?"

"I killed a monster, but I can't bring it back to the training camp. Do you have anyone in Hongning Base City? I'm leaving it to you."

"What monster? My family has people in every base city; we can definitely handle it for you."

"The Raging Golden Bear, see for yourself." Ning Ze raised his arm and turned the camera.

The scene begins with a golden pelt, only part of a corpse. Xu Gang frowned but couldn't figure out what it was. Then, the camera angle quickly zoomed out, and a furious golden bear appeared in the video.

Ning Ze asked softly, "Their strength is not bad. Their basic strength is at the level of a mid-level lord, and their power is around 18 kilograms."

Xu Gang was instantly stunned, his eyes wide open, staring blankly at the enraged golden bear.

He had considered that Ning Ze had great potential, and he had considered that Ning Ze's strength might not be weak either, but was it really necessary to be so exaggerated? It had only been four days since he last saw him, and he was already able to kill a mid-level lord monster? Wasn't that strength equivalent to a high-level war god?

Let alone what will happen in the future, even now, the Xu family has to spend a huge amount of money and rely on their connections to invite a high-level war god!

Moreover, this is Ning Ze!

"Can you handle it?" Ning Ze asked again.

"Yes! Of course!" Xu Gang nodded vigorously, guaranteeing immediately, "Just tell me the location, and my men can get there in an hour at most. You can collect the main materials first; those are worth 55 billion. The remaining corpses, after processing, can be worth another 5 million. In total, we can sell them for 60 billion!"

Ning Ze glanced around at the surroundings and then said, "This place is a bit remote, so your people probably can't get here. You just need to wait for me on my way back. We don't need the rest; they're too difficult to transport. I don't have time to wait here."

After saying this, he felt a little emotional. He used to not even have ten million Chinese yuan. Let alone a mid-level lord, even a mid-level lord was extremely dangerous. Now he can kill a mid-level lord, and he wouldn't even bother dealing with five hundred million Chinese yuan.

Xu Gang chuckled awkwardly, inwardly cursing himself for speaking without thinking. How could a place where a mid-level lord resided be simple?

"Okay, the main materials are fine too. I'll arrange for someone to wait for you there right now."

"Hongji Building, please."

After ending the communication, Ning Ze used his mental power to control a flight to dissect the entire monster's corpse.

After dealing with the situation, he had no intention of continuing to hunt monsters. With his terrifying combat power, maintaining first place was just a matter of casually killing some more; those beasts wouldn't provide any training benefits. Fighting this mid-level lord for today was enough; his goal had never been to hunt monsters.

Ning Ze ran directly towards Hongning Base City at a speed exceeding 500 m/s, covering 600 kilometers in just 20 minutes and returning to Hongning Base City.

The materials were handed over to the Xu family.
