Lin Ye walked to the punching-power target in the corner of the training room, took a deep breath, sank his waist, twisted his hips, and threw a punch!
[Normal Attack]!
Bang!
A dull sound echoed through the spacious venue.
The numbers on the electronic screen above the target jumped rapidly before finally freezing in place.
[Punching Power: 231 kilograms]
Lin Ye’s eyes lit up.
If he remembered correctly, his test result yesterday had been 216 kilograms.
In just one day, the change was this huge!
Suppressing the delight in his heart, Lin Ye walked into the qi-blood sensing chamber beside it.
The metal hatch closed, and a soft blue light swept over his entire body.
Several seconds later, a mechanical electronic voice sounded.
“Beep—”
“Qi-Blood Index: 11.2.”
“Life Index: 9.7.”
“Overall Evaluation: Below Standard.”
After stepping out of the sensing chamber, Lin Ye looked at the set of data, and his eyes brightened!
With this set of data yesterday, the overall evaluation would definitely have been up to standard.
It was just that the new documents had come down now. Once the cutoff line was confirmed, naturally, it no longer met the standard.
But Lin Ye did not care.
Because meeting the standard should no longer be difficult for him!
Moreover, he had finally figured out the correspondence between his panel attributes and this world’s evaluation standards.
[Strength], [Agility], and [Endurance]—these three, taken together, formed the core of the qi-blood index.
And the most crucial [Health] could actually affect the life index!
This thing was as difficult to raise as ascending to the heavens!
It was the most direct manifestation of potential and talent.
The higher the life index, the more vigorous one’s energy and stamina, the stronger one’s recovery ability, and the more energy one could transform and absorb with each round of cultivation. Naturally, the efficiency of qi-blood growth would far surpass that of ordinary people.
More importantly, his homeroom teacher, Chen Meng, had once said that the life index was related to whether a martial artist could awaken their own unique martial spirituality.
For ordinary students, if their life index could rise by 0.1 in two or three months, they could already be called fairly talented.
As for him, in just one night!
It had skyrocketed from 9.6 to 9.7!
If this got out, he feared they would drag Lin Ye off to be sliced up for research.
As for the last [Spirit] attribute, Lin Ye had yet to discover what use it had.
But his homeroom teacher Chen Meng had once said, “For a martial artist, qi and blood are the foundation, while divine sense is the edge.”
Powerful mental strength not only allowed a martial artist to maintain absolute calm in battle and precisely perceive opportunities to strike, but after stepping into higher realms, it was also the key to all sorts of wondrous methods.
That was why the Federation placed the Visualization Method and the Body Tempering Method side by side as the cornerstones of martial science education.
It was just that, at the stage of reserve students like them, who had not even formally stepped across the threshold of becoming martial artists, the role of mental strength was still insignificant.
But Lin Ye knew that since his system had listed it separately as one of the basic attributes, its importance was absolutely self-evident.
After taking stock of his gains, Lin Ye turned his gaze toward the gravity chamber.
Lin Ye pushed the door and entered.
The entire gravity chamber was not large, but it was enough to accommodate a single person practicing the Body Tempering Method.
Lin Ye saw the adjustment knob on the wall.
The initial default setting was 1.2 times gravity.
Then he chose to activate it.
Buzz—
An invisible pressure instantly enveloped his entire body, as if dozens of kilograms of weight had suddenly been added to him.
His bones let out faint groans, and his breathing also grew heavy.
It really had some kick!
But it still was not his limit!
Lin Ye stood in place and slowly turned the knob until he could no longer endure it.
Gravity multiplier: 1.5!
Lin Ye did not waste any time. In the cramped space, he immediately assumed his stance and began a new round of the Basic Body Tempering Method.
He had only completed three movements when bean-sized beads of sweat were already seeping from his forehead.
The soreness and fatigue in his muscles were far more intense than in a normal environment!
At the same time, however, the system notification arrived right on schedule.
[Harsh environments have never been an excuse for a BOSS to fail to include them within their territory!]
[When the host cultivates on his own under harsh conditions, the experience gained will also increase by the same proportion!]
As expected!
Lin Ye’s spirits soared. Enduring his body’s protests, he gritted his teeth and persevered.
After completing a full cycle of the Body Tempering Method, he looked as though he had been fished out of water. He collapsed directly onto the ground, gasping heavily for breath.
His stamina and energy were emptied in an instant.
A bone-deep exhaustion surged like a tide, threatening to drown his consciousness.
[Ding! You have obtained 1.5 experience points!]
However…
Ten seconds later.
A warm current emerged out of nowhere, instantly washing through his limbs and bones!
That exhaustion, which would have been enough to leave an ordinary person bedridden for half a day, vanished without a trace in just one or two seconds.
His stamina bar and energy bar instantly filled back up!
Lin Ye sprang up from the ground with a carp flip. All the pain from earlier seemed to have completely disappeared.
Awesome!
This feeling was more intense than drinking any nutrient solution!
On the other side.
Zhang Yuqing untied the bandages wrapped around her hands. Today’s martial technique practice was complete; next came body tempering in the gravity chamber.
When she turned around, she saw Lin Ye drenched from head to toe, gasping for breath, resting outside the gravity chamber as though he had completely collapsed.
Zhang Yuqing ignored Lin Ye and walked straight toward another gravity chamber.
However, just as she was about to enter the gravity chamber, she caught sight from the corner of her eye of Lin Ye entering the gravity chamber again.
Zhang Yuqing was stunned.
Had he gone mad?
After one round of gravity chamber training, and in such a desperate mode that nearly exhausted all his strength, how could he possibly continue directly without resting?
Heh…
Was he afraid of losing face, so he was forcing himself inside to tough it out?
Zhang Yuqing did not pay too much attention and stepped into the gravity chamber.
One hour later.
Zhang Yuqing walked out of the gravity chamber.
She was panting, with fine beads of sweat seeping out along her temples and neck.
One hour of training under 2.2 times gravity had brought even her to her limit.
However, in the next moment, she saw that the gravity chamber next door was still displaying the status: [Occupied].
Recalling the face she had seen earlier…
Zhang Yuqing was certain she did not know Lin Ye.
But someone ruthless enough to come train this early—
No matter what, he ought to be in the same class as her.
At worst, he should be from Class 2.
How could he possibly be a poor student?
Zhang Yuqing had absolute confidence in her own ability to grind.
She only slept four hours every day. Aside from attending classes, she spent almost all her remaining time cultivating.
Her family was well-off, and only with the aid of expensive nutrient solutions and medicinal baths every day could she sustain such high-intensity training.
What about him?
Wait—could he have refused to lose face and fainted inside the gravity chamber?
That could cost him his life!
Zhang Yuqing hurriedly approached Lin Ye’s gravity chamber, only to discover that the monitoring panel outside showed that the person inside had stable vital signs, was conscious, and had already been training for 1 hour and 3 minutes.
This meant that after that person had gone in earlier, he really had not come out.
Zhang Yuqing froze.
This was unscientific!
It was also unmartial!
And it was even more inconsistent with the laws of the human body!
Zhang Yuqing gritted her teeth. In the end, she did not choose to rest either, but directly returned to the gravity chamber.
She did not know who she was competing with.
But she could not accept that someone was working harder than she was!
