In the gravity training ground.
Everyone in Team One began their first day of training.
Each person would choose an area with a different gravitational force field according to their wishes.
The low-level martial artists led by Wang Dong and Wu Dahai all chose to stay in the area near the entrance until they adapted to the environment. They would choose again after they had gotten used to it.
Chu Chen, Jiang Jinyu, and Lin Ye's combat strengths had increased, so they were now intermediate-level martial artists.
Hence, they decided to train in an area that had two times the usual gravitational force field.
Li Hua's combat strength was 4,912.
Although she was also an intermediate-level martial artist, she was only one step away from advancing to become an advanced-level martial artist.
To quickly become an advanced-level martial artist, Li Hua chose the area that had four times the usual gravitational force field without any hesitation.
The moment she stepped into that area, her body started to emit crackling and popping sounds. Everyone stared at her, speechless with shock.
That was the sound of Li Hua's body becoming a body of steel, and her strength increasing rapidly.
Other people could not see that, but Su Hei could see it through his system's interface.
In an instant, Li Hua's strength increased from 4,912 to 5,312. His strength had increased by 300 pounds!
And she had just entered the training ground!
The training effect was remarkable!
Su Hei was delighted.
-
At the same time, the other three teams also entered the gravity training ground.
However, they entered from a different entrance, so they merely looked at Su Hei's team from afar.
Everyone was wearing their heavy training suits. With the gravity there being much different from what they were used to, everything seemed to have become much heavier.
The training suit that originally weighed 1,000 pounds had become 2,000 pounds.
Within minutes of stepping into the training ground, many recruits started to pant and sweat profusely.
"It's heavy. It's damned heavy!"
"We're only wearing a 1,000-pound training suit. Our leader is wearing a 3,000-pound training suit. This area has two times the gravity, so his training suit is equivalent to 6,000 pounds."
Everyone in Team Two looked toward their leader, Li Burou.
At this moment, Li Burou was also in the double gravitational field area. His face was flushed, and his legs were wobbly.
Compared to the gravity he was enduring, Li Burou felt that the psychological strain was even more unbearable.
"Su Hei can effortlessly wear a 10,000-pound training suit, yet I'm struggling with my 6,000-pound suit," he thought grumpily.
Although Li Burou was a big-hearted person, he still felt unhappy when he saw how easy it was for Su Hei.
However, different from Cao Guangning's twisted thoughts, Li Burou was simply jealous of Su Hei.
Li Burou firmly believed that with how gifted he was, as long as he trained diligently, he would be able to catch up to or even surpass Su Hei.
The recruits in Team Two felt inspired when they saw Li Burou's persistence.
The martial artists who were originally pinned to the ground by gravity got up one after another and gritted their teeth.
"Damn it, this is torturous!"
"The weight of our training suits is already so terrifying, but Leader Su is wearing a 10,000-pound training suit. The pressure that he will have to endure is two times the normal gravity. I can't imagine what that will be like!"
"But he hasn't gone in yet. Once he steps in, he will fare worse than our leader!"
"That might not be the case. I think that Su Hei is not to be underestimated. He is someone who surpassed all the geniuses and astonished everyone. Perhaps he has some kind of system assisting him. Give him some time. When he grows to his full potential, he will be able to kill all the beasts without spilling a single drop of blood. He'll easily kill celestial behemoths even from a distance. He will then be bestowed the title of Beastmaster."
"I told you not to spend so much time reading all those web novels, but you refuse to listen!"
"Hahaha! You don't know anything! This is how I find joy amidst suffering. See? After I said all these, you don't feel that the gravity is that unbearable now, right?"
"That… That's true. Buddy, why don't you continue talking?"
In other directions, Teams Three, Four, and Five had also entered an area with a suitable gravity field for them.
However, even Bai Tiantian, Zhang Xiaofan, and Cao Guangning had expressions of pain and anguish.
From time to time, they would look at Su Hei, who had yet to enter the gravitational field.
-
After a while, Su Hei finally moved. He was about to head deeper into the training ground, which had a higher gravitational field.
Seeing that, Fang Dongjin quickly stopped him.
"Leader Su, why don't you try entering the two-times gravity field first?" he suggested.
From Fang Dongjin's point of view, Su Hei was only 18 years old. He had gotten a breakthrough to become a Grandmaster, but he was still new to it. His combat strength would not exceed 100,000 by much.
Su Hei was still wearing his 10,000-kilogram training suit. Entering the two-times gravity field was already putting a strain on his body. He would get injured if he got any deeper.
Su Hei could guess what Fang Dongjin was thinking. He merely smiled.
"Rest assured. I won't force myself to do it if I can't," reassured Su Hei.
Since he had already said so, Fang Dongjin would not continue to stop him. He only nodded in response.
However, he kept his gaze fixed on Su Hei in case anything happened.
Su Hei walked along the safe passage in the middle and felt the gravity field multiplier on both sides.
"Three times, four times, five times, six times…"
Su Hei did not think that there was much difference between those gravitational fields, so he did not stop.
The other four leaders and Fang Dongjin stared at him in confusion.
"What on earth is this fellow doing? Could it be that he is just taking a stroll?" they wondered.
However, they did not think that was the case.
Cao Guangning wanted nothing more than for Su Hei to walk deeper into the training ground. It was even better if Su Hei could walk to an area with a gravitational field that was 100 times more than the usual gravity.
Inside that area, Su Hei's 10,000-pound training suit would be as heavy as one million pounds.
"He would be crushed to death with that amount of gravity!" thought Cao Guangning maliciously.
He gnashed his teeth. At the thought of Su Hei dying, Cao Guangning chuckled to himself.
Su Hei continued to walk forward.
"Seven times… eight times… nine times…"
"That's right!"
"You just need to walk forward like that!" thought Cao Guangning.
A twinkle of delight flashed across his eyes. Very soon, Su Hei would reach the area that had 100 times of gravitational field!
But right on the heels of that, he saw Su Hei turn and enter the tenfold gravity field!
-
Boom!
A powerful gravitational field washed over Su Hei's body, pressing down on his spine and shoulder bones.
"100,000 pounds of strength is equivalent to being attacked by a beginner-level Grandmaster continuously," Su Hei murmured to himself.
He furrowed his brows. He found this gravitational field tolerable, but it was not a walk in the park for him.
The power of this gravity was truly terrifying.
If the gravitational field was more than this, he would not be able to last as long as he did now.
-
On the other side.
Fang Dongjin and the other four leaders stared in disbelief at what they were seeing.
They had expected Su Hei to quickly step out of that area. However, not only did Su Hei not do that, he could even stand stably. It seemed like he had already gotten accustomed to the gravitational field.
They were struck dumb with amazement.
Li Burou, Bai Tiantian, and Cao Guangning did not know Su Hei's exact strength, so they were shocked and rendered speechless.
Fang Dongjin widened his eyes, not knowing what to say.
"The highest combat power that beginner-level Grandmasters have is 500,000. One-tenth of that would be 50,000."
"He's wearing a 10,000-pound training suit in a 10-fold gravity field, so that means that he's enduring a 100,000-pound training suit. How is this possible?"
"This guy is stupendous!"
Zhang Xiaofan had a different response than the rest of them. He stared at Su Hei with admiration.
Looking at Su Hei who was standing in the tenfold gravity field, he secretly made up his mind on something.
"From now on, I will work toward becoming someone like Leader Su!" he thought.
"He is my idol!"
