C455 Breaking

Woo Zhengyang stepped into the gravity room, resembling a plaza, and immediately saw a young man beside him let out a startled cry and faint. Soon after, a chorus of shocked exclamations filled the air, accompanied by the sound of people collapsing.

Before the gravity took hold, Woo Zhengyang glanced around. He saw four or five young men sitting on the ground, clearly shaken. Even those who managed to stay on their feet, like Liu Xiangdong and Yu Xiaoshui, both at the peak of their martial skills, looked unsettled.

"What happened to you all?" Woo Zhengyang asked, puzzled.

"It's you, Woo... You scared us... We thought... it was someone from that other group... messing with us again," Yu Xiaoshui said, struggling to lift his arm, which had dropped in fright.

Woo Zhengyang looked down at himself and understood immediately. No wonder they were so frightened. Even he found his appearance terrifying. Covered in blood, he was already a daunting sight, but now it was much worse.

His body was riddled with countless fine cracks, making his skin look as if it had been pieced together. His clothes were shredded but clung to him, soaked in blood, and his hair was uneven, giving him the appearance of a human-like creature covered in scales.

Woo Zhengyang glanced briefly but didn't pay much attention. All his efforts were focused on deciphering the teleportation array. The Array Origin Bead's contents were his main concern.

As he concentrated on the bead, an ethereal image of the teleportation array appeared in his mind.

Forty percent!

This result pleased Woo Zhengyang. It meant that with two more attempts, he could complete the entire array diagram.

Just as he put away the Array Origin Bead, a crushing pressure descended on him like a mountain. Instantly, some of his wounds were flattened, while others tore open, looking even more gruesome.

The pressure around him intensified the pain, causing Woo Zhengyang, who was accustomed to injuries, to gasp.

Gritting his teeth, he ignored the pain and continued practicing the Skin Origin Hiding Technique.

This time, in less than half an hour, his body reached its limit due to excessive blood loss. Yet, the golden vortex kept spinning, and his training didn't falter. Instead, his wounds healed faster.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, all his wounds had scabbed over. As an hour approached, the scabs began to fall away, revealing skin underneath that was as smooth as jade.

The scene left Yu Xiaoshui and the others completely stunned. They couldn't quite grasp what kind of technique Woo Zhengyang was practicing, but from the way he gathered energy around him, they could tell it was something extraordinary. Normally, at the Skin Stage, absorbing energy that quickly would be impossible.

They attributed the unique ability of the golden vortex to Woo Zhengyang's training method. Though everyone was a Body Tempering cultivator, his rapid recovery was simply unbelievable.

An hour passed, and Woo Zhengyang exited the gravity room. Not long after, he appeared again, battered and bruised. This time, it didn't shock anyone; those with lower skills had already left, and the more advanced ones were used to it. They even speculated that Woo Zhengyang's technique might be so brutal it required self-inflicted harm.

Some were wary of such a method, while others were deeply intrigued...

Another hour went by, and Woo Zhengyang, having just recovered, returned once more, still covered in injuries. Yet, he was secretly delighted. The teleportation array within the gravity room's door had finally been fully recorded in the Array Origin Bead. Woo Zhengyang had already decided that once he left this time, he wouldn't return immediately.

His badge was still valid for four more hours, while Rice and Liu Dahu each had one hour left. Woo Zhengyang planned to spend the remaining time studying the badges and the teleportation array, allowing Rice and Liu Dahu to continue their training.

However, when Woo Zhengyang stepped outside, he found his plans disrupted. The sun was already up, and a young man dressed in the Azure Sun Martial Mansion's uniform was waiting impatiently in front of the gravity room.

Seeing Woo Zhengyang emerge, the young man spoke with a hint of mockery, "You all seem eager. How was the training in the gravity room? Want to spend a few more hours in there every day?"

Previously, a naive young man had been brutally killed for saying too much, teaching everyone to be wary of the Azure Sun Martial Mansion disciples' unpredictable moods. So, when the young man asked his question, everyone remained silent.

Today, however, this young man was different from the guide from the previous day, with a distinct personality and no knowledge of yesterday's events. Typically, after experiencing the benefits of the gravity room, everyone would be excited, but the silence that followed made him angry. "Are you all deaf? I'm asking if you want more time in the gravity room!"

"Thinking..." At this moment, everyone realized that the person in front of them genuinely wanted them to speak, so they all responded in unison.

"That's good. Let me show you the way. Follow me!"

Aside from the gravity room, the entire Azure Sun Martial Mansion made everyone feel uneasy. However, they didn't dare to go against the young man's wishes and could only follow him.

Woo Zhengyang was still contemplating whether there might be a chance to mention leaving this place. He was quite eager to learn more about the Azure Sun Martial Mansion. After changing his clothes, he carried Rice on his back and followed along.

Around the light curtain, besides the row of gravity rooms, there were many small rooms. From time to time, disciples of the Azure Sun Martial Mansion would enter and exit these rooms. Woo Zhengyang speculated that these rooms were likely portals connecting to the world within the light curtain.

In fact, the gravity room they had previously entered might exist within the world of the light curtain, but they couldn't see outside to confirm it.

This speculation excited Woo Zhengyang.

He was extremely curious about the magical world within the light curtain. If he could explore it, there might be unexpected rewards.

However, Woo Zhengyang wasn't sure if his identification card would work in the other small rooms. He could only try it out if he got the chance.
