High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 88: Using the Gravity Cultivation Room as a Dormitory, 4x Gravity
22504KG!
This punch was astonishing.
The punching power of a typical Fifth Level Martial Artist is between 8001-16000KG, and that of a Sixth Level is between 16001-32000KG.
This punch directly crossed the great realm of the Fifth Level and stepped into the category of a Sixth Level Martial Artist. It wasn’t just a tentative touch; it was a significant stride.
Su Mu’s eyes lit up, and he couldn’t conceal the look of ecstatic joy on his face.
"Exchanging four Future Sights for the Secret of Power was so worth it!"
After the initial excitement, Su Mu took a deep breath, not because he didn’t want to throw three punches in a row, nor because he was too shocked to only throw one punch.
But because he simply couldn’t do it just now.
When he unleashed that punch crossing the great realm, Su Mu felt severe pain akin to muscle tearing in his shoulders, back, arms, and abdomen.
In other words, the explosive power of this punch placed a tremendous burden on Su Mu’s body. The Secret of Power cannot be used as a regular, continuous combat method but only for extreme bursts.
"Yes, indeed. If one could easily use the Secret of Power to continuously fight across such a great realm, it would be too defying of the heavens."
Su Mu was very satisfied with this realization, and moreover, his mastery of power application techniques had already enhanced the burst of his strength by quite a degree, allowing him to use the Secret of Power as a trump card.
When necessary, he could use the Secret of Power in conjunction with the Sword Nurturing Technique, Condensed Blood, and other martial arts to achieve a lethal strike.
As long as one strike could severely injure or even kill the enemy, then one slash would be enough.
...
The cost of various special cultivation rooms is extremely high, with the Spiritual Power Cultivation Room being the least numerous, with only one.
Next are the Combat Simulation Room and Reaction Simulation Room, each with five rooms.
The Gravity Cultivation Rooms are more numerous, but there are still only twenty.
Using these special cultivation rooms requires spending a significant amount of points, and besides these special cultivation rooms, the Cultivation Hall also provides some regular cultivation rooms, such as those for various weapons, which consume fewer points.
During Su Mu’s testing time for punching power, many people arrived at the Cultivation Hall. They came enthusiastically but were startled by the high point costs of the special cultivation rooms.
"Gasp, the price of the Gravity Cultivation Room is too high. Three hundred points per hour; there’s a discount for renting for a whole day, but it still requires 7000 points. With the points I’ve got from this reward, my points only cover three days of rental!"
"What’s that compared to? Go look at the Combat Simulation Room and Reaction Simulation Room over there."
"Ah! Did I read it wrong? The Reaction Simulation Room costs 1500 points per hour; is such a point consumption even reasonable? Ten thousand points are not enough for seven hours."
"The most expensive isn’t even that. The Combat Simulation Room over there costs 2000 points per hour. I thought the twenty thousand training points I had were plenty, but it turns out they only cover ten hours of usage."
"Damn, seeing their prices makes me suddenly feel that the Gravity Cultivation Room’s price is actually low and totally acceptable."
"Besides those talented martial artists, few can use these cultivation rooms for long."
"Talented Martial Artists? I think only Su Mu and Tantai Yan have enough points to splurge."
"Besides, you can’t spend all your points, or if you can’t earn more and get eliminated early, it would be disgraceful."
"But according to the points manual, actually, it’s possible to earn points through the cultivation rooms. The initial requirements should not be difficult to achieve."
Trainees, driven by curiosity, rushed into the Cultivation Hall; however, upon examining the point consumption of various cultivation rooms,
the steep prices made them hesitate, prompting many to pull out their points manual to study it closely, carefully calculating their point expenditure to ensure every point was well spent.
...
"Everyone’s enthusiasm for cultivation is really high."
"During this period, strive to complete the first Refining of the Five Viscera, elevate Qi and Blood to the Fourth Level Peak, and then begin the reconstruction bridge!"
After leaving the testing room, Su Mu saw the people surrounding those special cultivation rooms, their expressions resolute.
Examinations, points, rankings; the joint training of the three cities constantly encouraged competition. In such an environment, martial artists are highly motivated to cultivate, which is exactly what the organizers are hoping to see.
"7000 points a day isn’t too expensive. Let’s try it out for a day first to see the effect."
Su Mu approached the Gravity Cultivation Room area and found that out of the twenty rooms, eight or nine were in use. After glancing at the price of the cultivation room, he walked straight into one.
Seeing this, many people showed envious expressions, jealous of someone who could spend so freely.
The Gravity Cultivation Room wasn’t large; the floors and walls were paved with some sort of dark stone, and the four walls were cast from some kind of silvery metal.
"Are these four walls entirely made of Mithril?"
Su Mu was surprised. Mithril is a rare forging material of the same grade as Secret Copper Essence. Mithril, in particular, is more expensive due to its superior spiritual power conduction capability compared to Secret Copper Essence.
"Let’s begin!"
Su Mu inserted his token into the Inscription Core, which displayed his current training points: 220000.
The next second, the points reduced by 300, yet Su Mu’s heart remained unmoved.
Quickly, the Gravity Cultivation Room was activated. The black stones on the floor and ceiling began to emit an invisible wave, and the complicated inscriptions on the silver metal walls amplified this wave.
In an instant, Su Mu felt his body become heavier, making every move slower than outside.
"It’s twice the gravity now. Let’s first test the cultivation effect."
In just a few breaths, Su Mu cleared his mind, initiating the operation of the Breathing Technique, Blood Control Secret Technique, Sword Nurturing Technique, Surging Waves Saber Technique, Extreme Shadow Body Technique, and Third-Turned Refining Technique in sequence.
Before long, he opened his eyes in delight. Under the pressure of the multiplied gravity, his whole body, flesh, and cells were in a high-pressure environment, the effectiveness of transforming spiritual qi into qi and blood was higher, and the speed of integrating it into flesh and blood cells was greatly enhanced.
"Under double gravity, the growth rate of qi and blood in cultivating the Breathing Technique is nearly double that of outside!"
But the Gravity Cultivation Room isn’t without its flaws. Su Mu quickly noticed a problem: the spiritual energy within the room was becoming increasingly thin, and now it was nearly depleted.
After a little thought, he understood the reason.
To specifically amplify the gravity attribute, the room had not been equipped with a Spirit Gathering Inscription, and under multiple gravities, the gravity was driving the spiritual energy out of the air.
"To cultivate using the Gravity Cultivation Room, one needs to consume external objects such as elixirs and spirit stones."
"Fortunately, I prepared some elixirs."
To participate in the Training Camp, Su Mu exchanged a batch of elixirs when he left Shenjiang Martial Arts University, not to mention the private sponsorship from Demon Staff and Scarface.
Due to extracting Future Sight, Su Mu’s reserve of Spirit Stones in his ring was getting low, with only seventy to eighty thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones left. However, the arrival of ten pounds of Spirit Marrow was like a timely rain.
"It’s just suitable to use the Gravity Cultivation Room to speed up the Refining of the Five Viscera."
"No rush, let’s try triple gravity first."
At the center of the cultivation room, there was a rotating mechanism, with five gears in all, increasing clockwise from low to high.
Su Mu turned the mechanism to triple gravity.
Buzz.
The cultivation room resonated with a buzzing sound, and suddenly more inscriptions on the four metal walls lit up, shining three times brighter.
"So this is how it is, the gravity’s multiple is controlled by the enhancement effect of the inscriptions on the four walls, while these two stones just provide gravity."
Within a few breaths, Su Mu clearly felt his body becoming unusually heavy, his breathing becoming extremely labored, and an incessant suffocating sensation reminiscent of the pressure Shadow had once given him.
This feeling was extremely uncomfortable, akin to invisible hands squeezing his internal organs, making him so distressed and stifled that he wanted to cough up blood, and his body developed an instinct to evade.
But Su Mu didn’t stop abruptly; his expression was firm, eyes slightly bright, as he carefully sensed this pressure, a spark of inspiration flickering in his mind.
"The pressure of multiplied gravity is akin to the oppression of a strong individual; perhaps it can be used to adapt to such pressure in advance."
"Let’s try fourfold gravity."
Instantly, Su Mu couldn’t help but grunt.
Within seconds, beads of sweat the size of soybeans oozed from Su Mu’s skin, soaking his clothes utterly.
After a minute, his eyes were bloodshot.
After three minutes, Su Mu felt his consciousness starting to blur, and he chose to revert to triple gravity only after pushing himself to the limit.
The triple gravity that had previously made Su Mu feel so uncomfortable that he wanted to cough up blood now felt congenial.
"Refreshing!"
Su Mu took deep breaths, feeling indescribably at ease.
Finally, Su Mu reduced the gravity to double, planning to consume Spirit Marrow to cultivate Condensed Blood in the Gravity Cultivation Room.
Thus, he needed to spend a long time in the Gravity Cultivation Room, requiring his body to have a gradual adaptation process and time; otherwise, it would be counterproductive.
Taking a deep breath, Su Mu adjusted his breathing, then took out some Spirit Marrow, drank a small mouthful, and entered a cultivation state.
Shortly after, the corners of Su Mu’s mouth subtly turned up as he cultivated.
He was pleasantly surprised to find that multiple gravity also accelerated the absorption of Spirit Marrow, meaning the speed at which he cultivated Condensed Blood could be further increased!
Soon, a drop of hot blood was refined within his heart.
"Using Spirit Marrow outside to refine a drop of blood takes fifteen minutes; here, it only takes seven to eight minutes."
"Time has been halved."
Su Mu was delighted and immediately immersed himself fully into cultivation.
Time passed.
At a certain moment, 7000 points disappeared from Su Mu’s token at the inscription core, and a whole day passed like this.
Su Mu softly voiced surprise, opening his eyes with a frown.
"Gravity disappeared; it’s only valid for a day at a time? That’s too troublesome—it should at least be able to activate for a week at once."
Su Mu muttered, feeling somewhat uncomfortable throughout, so he retrieved his token to reactivate the Gravity Cultivation Room.
"Eh?"
Su Mu again softly voiced surprise as he discovered the points number on the token in his hand had changed.
"223,000?! How did I end up with 3,000 more points after a day?"
Su Mu pondered with curiosity and quickly thought it might be that he triggered some kind of point reward system?
But he was too lazy to search the manual at the moment and decided to continue cultivating.
With double gravity returned, Su Mu was very satisfied as he checked the progress of Condensed Blood within his heart, estimating it to be around three hundred drops, having refined approximately a hundred ninety drops in a day.
"In just two more days, I can begin refining the lungs!"
...
Outside the Gravity Cultivation Room, a group of people arrived, and another group departed.
Meanwhile, many continued to watch, as there were limited cultivation rooms but quite a few trainees. After some careful calculations, they figured that the Gravity Cultivation Room seemed more economical.
The Cultivation Hall was inscribed with large-scale Spirit Gathering Inscriptions from its construction, and many chose to cultivate in place while waiting.
"Haha, my luck’s not bad; it’s my turn for this cultivation room now that its time is up..."
Before the words were finished, the door of the dimmed cultivation room flickered with blue light again, indicating that the person inside had renewed, causing the faces of those outside to darken.
Seeing this, those waiting outside Cultivation Room Number Nine not far away felt a bit of schadenfreude, having spent two hours waiting outside this Room Twenty recently. However, they did not plan to remind this person, though there was a sense of surprise in their hearts.
If no one had changed inside Cultivation Room Number Twenty, then the person had been there for a whole day.
"Who’s in there? That’s over the top; several people have left ahead of me, and I’ve been waiting for almost two hours. Cui Jian only stayed in the Gravity Cultivation Room for five hours."
"Do they have so many points they can’t use them up, let alone their elixirs and Spirit Stones?"
"They can’t be using the Gravity Cultivation Room as a dormitory, right?"
