C446 In a Hopeless Situation!(2)

Of course, now wasn't the time to dwell on these thoughts, so Woo Zhengyang pushed them aside for the moment. The first priority was ensuring that he, Rice, and Liu Dahu could survive safely.

The plaza wasn't particularly small, but no one dared to fly using their swords. Although the young man hadn't mentioned it, the death of that honest boy had left everyone shaken.

After a short break, Woo Zhengyang and the others arrived in front of what was called the gravity room. It looked like an ordinary room, with eight identical spaces connected together. Each door had a different label: 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 300, 500.

Woo Zhengyang had never heard of a gravity room before, but he had experienced the Profound Heavy Mountain and still had a pair of Profound Heavy Gathering Silk Gloves. Based on his experience, he guessed that the gravity room exerted pressure on practitioners, similar to the Profound Heavy Mountain. However, the mountain's pressure came from its absorption of true energy, and since people in this world didn't have true energy, the gravity room's function must be unrelated to it.

Glancing at the others, Woo Zhengyang noticed their expressions were filled with fear and confusion. It seemed they were just as clueless about the gravity room as he was.

"If my guess is correct, these rooms will generate pressure that benefits our training. The numbers probably indicate the level of pressure," Woo Zhengyang explained. After all, they were all in this together, and he had no intention of keeping his insights to himself.

Upon hearing Woo Zhengyang's words, some people seemed thoughtful, while others remained puzzled. It wasn't that they were ignorant; they just had never encountered anything like this before, so it was naturally hard to grasp in a short time. It's like someone incredibly powerful living in isolation in the mountains—no matter how strong they are, once they step into ordinary life, they might still make a fool of themselves.

The environment is crucial for practitioners; otherwise, there wouldn't be so many of them traveling the world once they reach a certain level of mastery. The concept of pressure was foreign to everyone, and no matter how much Woo Zhengyang explained, it was something they'd only understand through experience.

"Just remember, start by entering the smallest room!" Woo Zhengyang pointed to the gravity room marked with a five. This time, everyone understood, but no one was ready to go in. Instead, they looked at Woo Zhengyang with eager anticipation.

Woo Zhengyang knew they were all spooked by the strangeness of the place and were hesitant to try it. He was curious about what was inside too, but he was equally cautious. While he wasn't worried about himself, he had Rice with him. Rice had just barely reached the Skin Stage, and if the gravity inside was too intense, it could be dangerous for Rice.

After some deliberation, Woo Zhengyang decided it was best to let Liu Dahu go in first. Although it was a bit risky, Woo Zhengyang believed the gravity room wouldn't pose any life-threatening danger to Liu Dahu.

The gravity room had no visible door, but Woo Zhengyang, experienced with such things, instructed Liu Dahu to place his token on a white jade panel. As soon as Liu Dahu did so, his body transformed into a beam of white light and vanished.

This spectacle left the local youth in awe, as they had never witnessed anything so extraordinary.

"Mr. Zhengyang, where did Dahu go?" Rice asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, he's inside. He'll be back soon."

"Oh!" Rice replied, nestling closer to Woo Zhengyang, her wide eyes fixed on the spot where Liu Dahu had disappeared.

Time passed slowly, and after what felt like an eternity, Liu Dahu still hadn't returned. Those who were already hesitant to try the gravity room now avoided it even more, yet they had nowhere else to go.

Since the guide had vanished, the entire Azure Sun Martial Mansion seemed deserted, with all the surrounding buildings tightly shut.

The vast inner city felt like it was just them left. In the center square, within the light curtain, there were plenty of people moving about, but it seemed like a completely different world from where they stood.

"Do you think the images on that screen could be fake?" someone suddenly blurted out.

The moment those words were spoken, many held their breath, their hair standing on end. Even Woo Zhengyang felt the chill run down his spine, caught up in the tense atmosphere.

As if on cue, right after the person spoke, the central light curtain began to dim and eventually vanished.

Only then did everyone realize how late it had gotten. Without the glow from the screen, the whole world plunged into darkness...
