C478 Fiveyearold Peak of Martial Master(2)
The four women appeared directly inside, bypassing the Light Door, which not only freed them from time constraints but also ensured they arrived at a fixed location. Once inside, they could quickly return to the Ice Crystal Fire Hall.
The four women, Bing'er and her companions, had long since entered the ranks of martial arts masters, benefiting more from the gravity room than others like Woo Zhengyang. Additionally, the Ice Crystal Fire Hall provided them with some energy, allowing their cultivation in both body and energy to steadily improve.
Recently, the four women reached the pinnacle of mastery, just a step away from becoming martial arts grandmasters. In martial arts, the body training stage is known as the Inner Stage, and the energy cultivation stage is the Shape Gathering Stage. The grandmaster level involves the Tendon Bone Stage for body training and the Reality Condensing Stage for energy cultivation. Beyond that lies the realm of martial arts kings.
Inspired by the rapid progress of Rice and the four women, Woo Zhengyang was no longer content with his current state. He aimed to push his limits once more in the tenfold gravity room. Over time, Woo Zhengyang had adapted to the fivefold gravity room, where he practiced the Skin Origin Hiding Technique and Dragon Countering Nine Steps with ease, though the effects had diminished somewhat.
Woo Zhengyang's path in body training has always been about challenging his limits and breaking through personal barriers, leading to his current achievements. This time, he would not back down, as his time was precious compared to others. He had been in this world for over a month and still hadn't found a way back.
Woo Zhengyang was eager to quickly improve himself using the gravity room. If the Azure Sun Martial Mansion didn't make any moves soon, he would have to find another path.
Having experienced the five-times gravity room before, Woo Zhengyang wasn't too overwhelmed when he first entered the ten-times gravity room, though it was still quite challenging. The difference between five and ten times gravity isn't just a matter of numbers. It's like pushing a person's limits; you might handle five times initially, but increasing beyond that becomes tough. Even a slight increase in pressure can be too much for a practitioner to bear.
Woo Zhengyang didn't have the luxury of gradual progress, so he had to endure as he always did. Thankfully, the golden vortex prevented him from being completely crushed, though it meant starting over and adapting once more.
The ten-times gravity room, like the five-times one, resembled a plaza inside. Woo Zhengyang assumed he'd be alone, but soon realized that disciples from the Azure Sun Martial Mansion often trained there too. They seemed to have their own schedules and no time constraints.
The disciples were surprised to see someone new, and Woo Zhengyang overheard them mentioning his name. It seemed his recent intense efforts hadn't gone unnoticed. However, he still wondered why he hadn't caught the attention of the higher-ups at the Azure Sun Martial Mansion.
In the blink of an eye, Woo Zhengyang and his companions had already spent a month at the Azure Sun Martial Mansion. During this time, everyone had gained a lot and enjoyed themselves, yet there was a sense of unease. The people at the mansion were unusually calm. Aside from interacting with the disciples they needed to for tasks, everyone else acted as if they didn’t exist.
Rice also followed Woo Zhengyang into the tenfold gravity room. The Ice Crystal Fire Hall had been moved here by Woo Zhengyang. The mansion's disciples rarely appeared, mostly during the day, leaving the gravity room empty most of the time, allowing them more than enough time to train.
The sudden appearance of four big sisters delighted Rice. Bing'er and the other three women were quite fond of the little girl, who resembled a porcelain doll. Since they had been awakened, they had only interacted with Woo Zhengyang. Now, they finally had someone else to talk to, someone so charming and adorable. Even Jing'er, who was usually reserved and spoke little, enjoyed teasing Rice.
The four women were also amazed by Rice's situation, knowing nothing about it. They had never even heard of the Qi Blood Crystal. It wasn't surprising, as they had grown up in the Ice Crystal Fire Palace and rarely left. By the time they were sealed, they were still young and couldn't possibly know much.
Life is like that—the more you experience, the more you realize how much you don't know. In your small village, you might think you understand everything. But once you step into the vast world, you'll discover things you never imagined, and encounter mysteries beyond your comprehension.
Woo Zhengyang understood this too. He decided to let things unfold naturally. When the time comes, answers will reveal themselves. Even if they don't, it doesn't matter. To Woo Zhengyang, Rice is like a sister. Whether she's an ordinary person or has some special heritage, it changes nothing.
Two weeks later, Woo Zhengyang pushed himself further, stepping into the gravity room set to twenty times the normal gravity! This leap was much greater than before. When the gravity first hit, he almost collapsed, but he gritted his teeth and stood firm.
Under the pressure of twenty times gravity, Woo Zhengyang didn't need any special techniques. Sweat poured off him as if the immense pressure was squeezing it out from within.
