Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 477 - 323 Cultivation Acceleration

Ke Mingshan stood outside the Cultivation Room, focusing on Ji Xinghuo’s condition.

He watched the entire process and collected data for every Mutant who came to the Ether Research Institute for the first time. First, for safety—after all, every Mutant that came here needed to be served with utmost care—and second, the collected data was used for research.

He was startled when he heard Ji Xinghuo say, "Increase the gravity."

Twenty tons was already the heaviest barbell in the Cultivation Room, and in a fivefold gravity environment, it was equivalent to 100 tons.

Despite being just a Super Mutant, Ji Xinghuo could lift such a massive weight, and he seemed to do it effortlessly.

The scientific research staff turned their heads and asked, "Director?"

"Proceed as he requested," Ke Mingshan said.

As the energy output from beneath the Cultivation Room increased, generating greater artificial gravity, the number on the wall-mounted screen climbed by one decimal point every second.

After ten seconds, it became six times the gravity.

"Continue."

After doing a few bench presses, Ji Xinghuo called out to the staff outside.

The gravity slowly rose again, and when it reached 6.5 times, Ji Xinghuo shouted, "Stop."

130 tons!

Ji Xinghuo started a series of continuous bench presses. Each movement was exceptionally standard and impeccable.

His expression was calm and focused.

Ke Mingshan couldn’t help but admire, truly worthy of being the top of the Heavenly Ladder!

Although limited by his talent and only an Intermediate Mutant, when it came to knowledge of cultivating Star Power, he was one of the few masters globally.

Having observed Ji Xinghuo’s cultivation for a few minutes, he made a conjecture.

"His Star Power is almost on par with Legendary Second Dan."

"His physical strength far surpasses the average Legendary fighter, even stronger than some Heavenly Kings among non-strength-type Mutants."

"And he is only a Super Mutant with four evolutions."

"Such talent..."

A glint of amazement flickered in Ke Mingshan’s eyes, and he thought, "This young man must have merged with over ten Alien Species, maybe fifteen, and each one is of high quality and extensively trained."

"I wonder if he would reveal the details to let me do some Professional Templates planning and analysis for him?"

"If I could get his data and combine it with the Ability system, I’m sure I could achieve significant research breakthroughs."

Ke Mingshan’s brain whirred into overdrive.

It wasn’t just him; the three members of the science research team serving Ji Xinghuo were all taken aback, their faces showing intense interest.

Inside the Cultivation Room, Ji Xinghuo continued bench pressing, completing ten sets back-to-back before switching to other exercises to train different muscle groups. He soon began to sweat, but only slightly, his complexion still relaxed.

After persisting for half an hour, he finally stopped.

"Whew..."

Ji Xinghuo put down the equipment, opened the interface of the Wanxiang Star Pupil, and saw his Star Power was thoroughly exhausted and now recovering rapidly. freewebnoveℓ.com

Having merged two Ether Resonances and wearing the "Light Ring" on his hand, totaling three Ether Resonances, combined with the effect of the "Ether Refining Solvent," his Star Power recovery speed was astonishingly fast, averaging about 150 points of Star Power per minute.

From 0 to 8500 points of Star Power, he needed just about an hour.

The scientific research staff turned off the artificial gravity and hurried in, directing him to "Please put on these pieces of equipment right away."

An equipment box was pushed in front of him.

Two others took out a sleek black jacket, a belt, a pair of arm armor, and two rings—a total of five pieces of gear.

All these were Superpower Equipment, each with Ability related to Ether Energy, and their effects complemented each other to form a system.

Ji Xinghuo cooperated with them, quickly putting on the equipment, then entered the adjacent Ether Energy Gathering Room.

The Ether Energy Gathering Room of the Third Level was quite small, less than ten square meters.

In the middle was an ergonomically designed reclining chair. Ji Xinghuo lay down on it, and the adjustable modules of the chair perfectly conformed to his body’s structure and lines, with high-frequency vibrations relaxing his muscles, which felt incredibly comfortable.

"Commencing energy gathering in 3, 2, 1..."

A mechanical female voice sounded in the room, and with a buzz, Ji Xinghuo sensed the massive underground equipment power on.

Instantly, the Ether Energy around him surged and gathered, forming an invisible energy vortex to the naked eye.

Yet, in the eyes of Ji Xinghuo, it was crystal clear.

In just a few seconds, the density of Ether Energy skyrocketed to threefold!

Ji Xinghuo’s body sat at the vortex’s center, the reclining chair beneath acting like a magnet, attracting the Ether Energy to converge and pour into his body, causing his Star Power recovery rate to surge dramatically, far more than doubling the previous efficiency.

He stared at the interface of the Wanxiang Star Pupil, silently counting.

He swiftly calculated the figures.

"Recovering about 300 points of Star Power per minute," Ji Xinghuo thought in amazement. "This is even better than the effect in the Qingkong Forest!"

Moreover, the Cultivation Equipment on him and the reclining chair beneath him not only sped up recovery but also increased the absorption of Ether Energy, enhancing the efficiency of converting Ether Energy into Star Power.

Exactly what the conversion rate was would only be known once the Star Power had fully recovered.

Time passed.

In less than half an hour, Ji Xinghuo’s Star Power had recovered to its peak and even surpassed the previous value.

8568 points!

"It increased by 4 points," Ji Xinghuo could hardly believe it.

Half an hour of training, half an hour of recovery, a complete training cycle nearing one hour, could increase 4 points of star power.

If diligent enough, training for 15 hours every day, one could raise 60 points of star power in a day.

Previously, when training in Sister Ren’s Qingkong Forest, the increase was 90 points of star power per day, but that was a Star Realm day, lasting 49.6 hours. Converted to an Earth day, training in the Qingkong Forest would increase about 45 points of star power a day.

From 45 points to 60 points per day, the training efficiency increased by a third!

In just four months, he would almost reach the upper limit of a Super Mutant, surpassing 15000 points of star power.

Ji Xinghuo felt delighted inside.

But he kept his composure, rose from the recliner, walked out of the Ether Energy Gathering Room, and saw Ke Mingshan and three research staff members, all with greatly shocked expressions.

"You’ve recovered already?" Ke Mingshan’s eyes were full of disbelief.

Ji Xinghuo nodded, "Yes."

"Have you merged with Ether Affinity, and not just one?" Ke Mingshan couldn’t help asking.

He had seen many legends and Heavenly Kings cultivating and could infer many details based on the time. Generally, for a Mutant at the Legendary Second Dan, star power recovery from depletion to full would take at least three hours.

If one could recover in two hours, that was already considered very fast.

Yet, Ji Xinghuo had only taken 28 minutes!

The more robust the star power, the longer the recovery time should be, but Ji Xinghuo seemed to defy this rule.

Aware that he couldn’t hide it from an expert in Ether Energy, Ji Xinghuo replied, "I have merged with Ether Resonance."

He only mentioned that he had merged, but he didn’t say how many.

"Ether Resonance!"

Realization dawned on Ke Mingshan’s face, while the other three looked on with great envy—Ether Resonance was special to Star-falling Species, no wonder his training was so fast!

"Don’t worry, our research institute never discloses the information of Mutants," Ke Mingshan reassured with seriousness.

"Then I’ll continue."

Ji Xinghuo took off the five pieces of Cultivation Equipment he was wearing, returned to the Artificial Gravity Room, and continued his training. This time, he used two types of potions provided by the research institute, which did not conflict with the Ether Refining Solvent, used for recovery of physical fitness and replenishment of bodily expenditure.

Half an hour of training, half an hour of recovery.

With each cultivation cycle lasting an hour, Ji Xinghuo seemed tireless, training all the way until past four in the afternoon, completing seven training cycles and nearly increasing his star power by 30 points, feeling very fulfilled.

If it wasn’t for Yan Wenxu waiting, he could have trained continuously.

After saying goodbye to Ke Mingshan, Ji Xinghuo returned to Yan Wenxu’s office. Yan Wenxu, seeing that he took so long to come back, was not at all surprised.

"How did you find the Ether Energy Gathering Room?" he asked with a smile.

"Fantastic!"

Ji Xinghuo was very satisfied with it.

"As long as you’re happy," Yan Wenxu replied and passed him a document, "Here’s the arrangement I’ve made for you. Take a look to see if there’s anything you want to add, and then we can put it into action."

The document outlined multiple schedules.

After reading it, Ji Xinghuo said, "For the next few months, I plan to focus mainly on supportive cultivation and secondary on learning. While I cultivate, have a teacher give me lessons. Let’s hold off on other things for now, I want to break through to Legendary quickly."

Star Realm knowledge encompassed a vast range of subjects.

It was a comprehensive cultural course, covering geography, races, kingdoms, to language, Star Gods, and planes, each branch deep and requiring specialized teachers for lessons. Mastering it all could easily earn two or three doctoral degrees.

His major was Star Realm Language, which also counted as continuing his academic pursuits.

With an Overclocking Thought state, memory and reading speed were far greater than average, and multitasking was not an issue.

Cultivating and taking classes simultaneously.

Ji Xinghuo believed he could manage it.

Yan Wenxu nodded, "Sure, I’ll arrange for teachers to give you lessons."

"Minister Yan, there’s something I’d like to consult with you about," Ji Xinghuo didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "I have a batch of Ether Crystals and I’d like to use them to apply for the Ether Energy Gathering Room, to pay for its use by others. Is that possible?"

"For whom?" Yan Wenxu was somewhat surprised.

"Zhao Manying, Zhong Ming," Ji Xinghuo said the names, "Zhong Ming is my second brother, he’s currently a Class B competitor Mutant, with promising talent, pretty much on par with me, just lacking opportunities."

Yan Wenxu was taken aback.

He certainly knew who Zhao Manying was, the previously ranked number one on the ladder, but Zhong Ming’s talent was comparable to Ji Xinghuo?

"In principle, it’s not allowed, but since you brought it up, and you’re paying with Ether Crystals..." Yan Wenxu pondered for a moment, "Have them apply when you get back."

"Thank you, Minister Yan," Ji Xinghuo understood the cue.

"Not allowed" originally meant it was possible; "agreed in principle" actually meant disagreement. Some things said in official circles had to be heard in reverse.

Of course, Yan Wenxu still gave him face.

Ji Xinghuo knew that in doing this, he might seem to be seeking private gain using his position, but as he would be paying with Ether Crystals, he wasn’t benefiting at the public’s expense. Instead, he was bringing Ether Crystals to the Ether Research Institute, which was beneficial for all parties involved.

Exiting Yan Wenxu’s office, he immediately called Zhong Ming, "Second Brother, have you merged with the Alien Species I gave you last night?"

"Not yet, that’s good."

"I have an Ether Affinity here that should be more suitable for you," Ji Xinghuo stated, "I’ll head to your place now."
