The Favored Son of Heaven

Qin Fen did some simple warmups as preparations, mobilizing the breath and energy within his body. A faint wrinkle of shock could be seen on his forehead. This place wasn’t suited for him as well.

How was this possible? Even Qin Fen himself was scared. All these years of lifting heavy objects for work had tempered his body, so it was natural for his organs to be stronger than those of normal youngsters. However, when compared to people with good family backgrounds and who worked hard, Qin Fen always believed that his organs wouldn’t be much different.

According to the directions in the booklet, a three-star martial artist would find himself good with a 1.3 times gravity chamber when using three-star power and if they were extremely diligent in tempering their body.

After taking another deep breath, Qin Fen carefully took in the sensation from his eyes, as well as the sensations of his heart and inner organs. 1.3 times gravity didn’t seem to have any ill effects on his eyes. It really was miraculous.

The female soldier watched Qin Fen through the security camera, forgetting to send the coffee in her hands to her mouth. This youngster who changed gravity chambers three times didn’t look like he planned on sitting down and cultivating anytime soon!

“I really don’t feel the pressure….”

Qin Fen frowned as he recalled the day when his spine broke to pieces and when he had swallowed the liquid metal. From that day forth, many changes seemed to have occurred in secret.

Could this all be due to the liquid metal ball? Qin Fen observed a few people sitting down, all of whom possessed considerable strength. He felt a bit of excitement in his heart. At the very least, his physical strength was better than these folk by a bit.

Qin Fen walked out the 1.3 times gravity chamber. The female soldier no longer had a smile on her face. Instead, she looked at Qin Fen as if she was looking at a monster. She helped Qin Fen open the 1.4 times gravity chamber.

There weren’t any recruits that had joined the military at the same time as Qin Fen here. After a bit of a warmup, Qin Fen exited from the 1.4 times gravity chamber.

The female soldier was shocked speechless. She pressed the key-code to the 1.5 times gravity chamber completely subconsciously, opening the door for Qin Fen and letting him enter inside.

gravity chambers above 1.4 times normal gravity could easily cause unnecessary harm to the human body. All their doors were installed with passwords to be guarded by the security personnel. This was to prevent someone from arbitrarily entering inside and having an unnecessary tragedy occur.

Three people sat cultivating inside the 1.5 times gravity chamber. Qin Fen could clearly sense the power of the three’s auras were much stronger than his. He wouldn’t even have a ten percent chance of winning in a fight against any single one of them.

Qin Fen gently warmed up his body, asking himself in his mind:  Am I a freak? In a sense, the gravity chamber is linked with the strength of a martial artist’s star level. A 1.5 times gravity chamber would have even a meteor level powerhouse cover their entire body with true energy out of need to protect all the organs of their body. Why don’t I need to do this at all? Could it be that there’s such a huge imbalance between my body’s strength and my own power? 

At the service desk outside the gravity chamber, the female soldier was shocked even further by the scene displayed by the security camera. Was this young man a bona fide monster? Looking at the hesitation on his face, could it be that this young man wanted to go to the 1.6 times gravity chamber? The quality of this recruit’s body was far too terrifying, right?

Ultimately, Qin Fen didn’t leave the 1.5 times gravity chamber. Even he himself was scared of constantly switching rooms. He thought about that gaze of the female soldier, as if she were looking at a monster, and felt quite a bit embarrassed to walk out and ask for a room change.

The female soldier watched Qin Fen complete his warmup and sincerely sit down in the ground to begin cultivating. Only then did she let out a long breath of relief. Luckily he chose the 1.5 times gravity chamber. If he were to continue to switch to the next room, she might have died from fright.

Sitting cross-legged by habit to cultivate, Qin Fen silently stirred the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art within his body. Only then did he discover the effects of gravity when it came to his body and true energy.

The organs of his body could resist the pressure here, but that didn’t mean his true energy could easily ignore the changes brought about by increased gravity.

With the change in environment and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art under this pressure, the pressure to circulate was increased in difficulty by 1.5 times as well.

One minute. Three minutes. Five minutes….

Qin Fen’s facial muscles twitched twice. This super-muddled Dragon Elephant Prajna Art was as slow as a snail race when cultivating it under normal circumstances. Right now it was like a snail dragging a cart to advance. Every movement forward was just that strenuous.

Should he switch back to the 1.4 times gravity chamber? Qin Fen’s lips twitched a few times before he gave up the thought.

If no one knew he had switched all the way to this room from the lowest gravity chamber, he would switch right back. However, there was a female soldier servicing the desk outside. Switching to a lower gravity chamber would be very shameful.

It wasn’t much to shame himself, but if this matter were to be heard by the drill instructors, he would be shaming his older brother.

The shocking and absolute talent Qin Fen actually had such a shameful little brother? Qin Fen completely got rid of the idea of changing back rooms when he though of this. For the sake of not shaming his older brother, he would endure it here!

His vigor rose from this lofty aspiration.

Qin Fen’s circulation speed of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art became a minute hint faster than before.

It took a complete total of five hours for this one cycle of circulation. It was much more endless than the two hours in the past. It made him happy. He was able to see the dawn of a breakthrough from going through this process. It hadn’t been long since he entered the three-star level, but there were signs of stepping into the four-star level. If he continued to do closed-door cultivation here, perhaps he would really have a chance.

Qin Fen opened his eyes once more. The rest of the people in the room had already laid down and fallen asleep.

These people all chose to do closed-door cultivation. They normally lived under this sort of gravity, aiding in a breakthrough by no small factor.

Qin Fen felt himself hungry once more after these five hours of cultivation. He walked out of the room and saw that a different female soldier was on shift by now.

This female soldier was frightened as well from how young Qin Fen was. Such a young man actually came out of the 1.5 times gravity chamber?

“Is there any food around here?”

“Oh, there are nutritious meals here.”

Qin Fen followed the female soldier to the special canteen of the gravity chambers. The gravity chambers was a place where people used up a lot of energy, so meals prepared here were primarily focused on nutrition.

“This taste….”

Qin Fen ate a mouthful of the so-called high-nutrient food. He was never picky about food, but even he choked on this unpalatable taste.

Looking at Qin Fen’s odd expression, the cook manning the small kitchen laughed and said, “Is this your first time eating this, kid? Nutritious things don’t necessarily taste good.”

Qin Fen lifted a spoon and laughed, “It’s passable. It’s much better than the feeling of being hungry but having nothing to eat.”

Under the attentive gaze of the cook and his assistance, the size of the serving of the disgusting nutritious meal shrank endlessly. The two looked at each other and thought,
