C454 She Fainted from Fright(2)

After some discussion, they reached no conclusion, and everyone dispersed, feeling a bit dejected, to rest and recharge.

Woo Zhengyang sat cross-legged in front of the light curtain, studying the world within it once again. The world inside the light curtain had no distinction between day and night, nor was it touched by the gentle rain from outside. Apart from a cluster of buildings in one corner, it featured mountains, rivers, wilderness, and even a vast ocean Woo Zhengyang had never seen before—a miniature world full of wonders.

After scanning the entire scene, Woo Zhengyang focused on the cluster of buildings. Despite his intense concentration, he couldn't discern the details of the structures, as if a barrier prevented him from seeing more than their vague outlines. Even these outlines made his brow furrow, for he saw many things he had never encountered or heard of before.

"Mr. Zhengyang..."

Lost in thought, Woo Zhengyang was interrupted by the crisp voice of Rice. He felt a weight on his back and caught a familiar scent as Rice peeked over his shoulder, pouting.

"Are you hungry again?" he asked, handing some food to Rice and offering some to Liu Dahu as well.

As midnight passed and a new day began, everyone was eager to return to the gravity room after experiencing its effects. Many sighed at how short the time felt, wishing they could spend an entire day there to significantly boost their physical strength and speed up their training.

This advantage was evident; with access to the gravity room, the students of Azure Sun Martial Mansion naturally surpassed the youths from the villages.

Outside, Rice and Liu Dahu practiced while Woo Zhengyang headed back to the gravity room. Like the others, Woo Zhengyang was dissatisfied with the time restrictions and was determined to unravel the secrets of the teleportation array.

He noticed that after the initial teasing, the people from Azure Sun Martial Mansion paid them little attention. If he could decode the teleportation array, Woo Zhengyang and Rice could train inside more frequently, as long as they were cautious.

Of course, the other village youths posed a potential issue, as they lived closely together and might notice something amiss. However, Woo Zhengyang believed that if he managed the situation well, they could serve as a perfect cover rather than an obstacle.

The priority was to crack the mystery of the gravity room's teleportation array. To expedite this, Woo Zhengyang decided to take a risk.

After placing the number card down, a pulling force began to exert itself. Normally, people can't resist this kind of force, but Woo Zhengyang, aiming to buy as much time as possible for the Array Origin Bead to record the teleportation array's diagram and operation, chose to resist it.

The pulling force of the teleportation array, unlike that of the gravity room, was a new experience for Woo Zhengyang, and it quickly proved to be a harsh lesson. The teleportation array, officially known as the spatial teleportation array, derives its pulling force from space itself.

While this force can be resisted, it can't be shielded against, so the consequence of Woo Zhengyang's resistance was that his clothes were instantly torn apart by the force. As the pulling force continued to act on him, tiny cracks began to appear on his skin. Streams of blood emerged from these cracks, only to vanish into the void...

Inside the gravity room, a young man struggled to his feet. Just as he was about to celebrate, he felt something wet on his head. He wanted to reach up and touch it, to see what was going on, but his arms wouldn't cooperate. He could only ask the person next to him, "Hey, what's going on with my head?"

The person glanced over and, with a look of surprise, said, "Blood..."

The young man wasn't Woo Zhengyang, and hearing there was blood on his head, he immediately assumed he had injured himself by forcing himself to stand.

“Ra...” the person next to him struggled to say the second word.

Blood rain?

How badly must one be hurt to bleed like rain?

The young boy was instantly terrified, his face turning pale as he fell to the ground, fainting as his vision went black...

Outside, Woo Zhengyang was unaware that his forceful resistance against the teleportation array had caused his blood to be sent in first, creating a blood rain that frightened a young boy inside into unconsciousness.

What Woo Zhengyang did know was that his resistance hadn't been in vain; it actually allowed him to extend his time within the teleportation array significantly.

As for his injuries, with the golden vortex present, Woo Zhengyang wasn't worried. As long as he could record the teleportation array, it was all worth it.

When the spatial rift began to cut into his flesh, Woo Zhengyang couldn't endure it any longer. He knew that if he continued to resist, he might end up as nothing but a skeleton.

Relenting, Woo Zhengyang entered the gravity room.

“Ah...”

A scream echoed as yet another young boy fainted from fright...
