บท 10: Chapter 10: Even Geniuses Have Limits
Gu Yi had never really experienced Zhao Wuji's gravity suppression before. It's not that he ignored such a formidable tool for training, but rather, he felt he wasn't yet worthy of using gravity suppression. It was very likely that he wouldn't be able to handle the increase in pressure and might even end up worse off. The path of martial arts lies in moderation and stability. However, Gu Yi wouldn't wait too long either. After completing the cultivation of Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, he would begin training under gravity. Thinking about these things now was irrelevant. It was time to face Zhao Wuji's gravity suppression.
"Come on, I'm ready," Gu Yi said, sinking his spirit power to his dantian. After the Yang Wei and Yin Wei meridians of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians were successfully opened, not only did his spirit power greatly increase, but his body also improved significantly.
Zhao Wuji summoned his martial spirit, and behind him appeared the phantom of a mighty Vajra Bear. Seven spirit rings floated around him, from bottom to top: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black. With a thought, Zhao Wuji's third spirit ring shimmered.
Gu Yi felt the air around him become viscous, and the swaying grass around him collapsed to the ground. His body became exceptionally heavy, even though it had been tempered by the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, his legs couldn't help but bend. The immense pressure made no part of his body feel relaxed.
Zhao Wuji was somewhat surprised. Even though he didn't use his full strength, it was enough to make an ordinary Spirit Grandmaster kneel. Yet Gu Yi only bent his legs slightly, and he was slowly standing up again. Familiar with his heavy body, Gu Yi slowly stood up. This level of pressure was still far from enough to crush him. Even the teachers and students who weren't affected by gravity suppression couldn't tell how much force Zhao Wuji was using.
As the time of an incense stick quickly passed, just as Zhao Wuji was about to withdraw the gravity, Gu Yi spoke up, "Please increase the gravity suppression, teacher. I want to see my limits." Zhao Wuji had always wanted to see Gu Yi's limits and naturally wouldn't refuse. Without retracting the gravity, it continued to increase, making it more and more difficult for Gu Yi to resist. Veins bulged, face flushed. Everyone could see that Gu Yi couldn't hold on anymore.
Zhao Wuji felt the power he was exerting, which could almost knock a Spirit Elder to the ground. Just being able to resist until now after breaking through to Spirit Grandmaster was already remarkable.
Just when everyone thought Gu Yi couldn't hold on any longer, he suddenly recovered. Although his face was still flushed, the bulging veins gradually disappeared. Clearly, Gu Yi was feeling even more relaxed than before. Could it be that Zhao Wuji had stopped? Zhao Wuji was very clear that he hadn't stopped; on the contrary, the gravity had increased slightly.
"Spirit power, that brat didn't use spirit power till now," Flender, who had the highest cultivation here, sensed the subtle spirit power fluctuations. Shao Xin, Lu Jibin, Li Yusong, and all the others widened their eyes.
Indeed, from start to finish, they didn't detect any spirit power fluctuations from Gu Yi. Having a meridian martial spirit also had this advantage. If one didn't actively reveal their spirit power, it was difficult for others to detect it through perception. If Gu Yi really resisted the entire time purely with his body, just how strong was his physique? He's just a child of less than eight years old. Did we really have the same childhood? Your childhood and my childhood seem to be different.
Zhao Wuji also increased the gravity. He wanted to see how long Gu Yi could hold on. 31st level, 32nd level, 33rd level... The gravity suppression increased step by step, face flushed, veins bulged again, more painful than before.
This time, Gu Yi truly reached his limit. His soul power and body were already exhausted.
39th level.
Zhao Wuji controlled the gravity suppression at the 39th level, and Gu Yi couldn't hold on anymore. Even geniuses have limits. The spirit power in his body crazily circulated, resisting this immense pressure. It circulated faster and faster. In the end, Gu Yi could no longer control the circulation of spirit power within his body. His body continued to instinctively resist. This continued for several minutes, and the circulation of spirit power within his body reached its limit.
A powerful force erupted from Gu Yi's body, unexpectedly breaking through the spirit power level again under the pressure of gravity. Two spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, rotated around Gu Yi, seeming both real and illusory. His level directly increased to 24, and he had already walked half of the path to becoming a Spirit Elder. This was simply abnormal.
After the breakthrough, Gu Yi finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground. This breakthrough thoroughly exhausted all the potential he could tap into. For the next period of time, he would have to focus on diligent cultivation.
The purple second ring, a thousand year spirit ring? Shao Xin was shocked, pointing at the purple spirit ring beside Gu Yi, unable to utter a word. How could this be possible?
"Good lad, from today onwards, you are a student of our Shrek Academy," Flender rarely changed his nickname and Gu Yi's performance had truly amazed them. He then said to a few others, "Don't mention anything about Gu Yi's thousand year second ring for now." Shao Xin and the others were stunned but nodded solemnly.
"Oscar, I'll leave him to you. Take him back to rest," Flender ordered.
"Okay, Dean." Oscar had been training and practicing Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound with Gu Yi during this time. His body had already undergone tremendous changes, and he easily helped Gu Yi up. Gu Yi didn't refuse either. Resisting gravity had already pushed him beyond his limits, leaving him feeling weak.
"We've truly encountered a genius at Shrek this time, and we must teach him well. I should be the one to teach him," Shao Xin said seriously. Gu Yi's talent was extremely rare, and being able to become his teacher would be the best.
"I disagree. His way of fighting is too different from yours. It should be me who teaches him," said another teacher.
Although they were all teachers at the academy, they also had their own selfish desires. Who wouldn't want to become the teacher of such a good seedling? Just as a few teachers were about to argue, Flender raised a question that dispelled their thoughts:
"Do any of you understand Gu Yi's martial spirit? Who dares to say that their comprehension of Pure Yuan Gong surpasses his? Perhaps his knowledge of martial spirit is not inferior to ours."
"Dean, we can't just leave him unattended, can we?" Lu Jibin didn't want to give up, struggling to say.
"There's no need to deliberately teach him. Let him develop freely. What we need to do is to help him when he goes astray. The world of geniuses and monsters is not something we can teach." Flender said with a hint of melancholy. When he said these words, there was a sense of loss. He wanted to teach Gu Yi more than anyone else, but he understood that he didn't have that ability. He had understood this a long time ago.
