(Chapter 5, Please Subscribe!) It was Saturday, and many students were either talking about love or honing their bodies at the Martial Arts Hall.
Some teachers from the Ancient Martial Department were also there to instruct and educate the diligent students, while also taking the opportunity for their own personal enhancement.
When it was heard that the principal had come to assess, quite a few spectators rushed over.
Seeing the new students being squeezed and contorted in the Gravity Room brought immense joy, even making their own training hardships seem a bit lighter…
So, the best way to relieve stress was to find someone who was living a more miserable life than you.
After listening to his story, you’d instantly feel better about your own life.
When they saw that the one undergoing gravity assessment was Little Fatty, they were disdainful.
“Being so fat, why would he even enter the Gravity Room…
Is he planning to crush the Gravity Room with his weight?”
“What has happened to our school?
How could they admit anyone?
Is there no pride or dignity left in the Imperial First Royal Academy?”
“I heard he doesn’t know how to cultivate…
My guess is he can only withstand five times the gravity…”
“My thoughts are different from yours.
I believe he can only withstand three times the gravity.
Looking at him, I think he can’t even pass the first time…”
——-
As Little Fatty withstood three times, five times, and even surpassed eight times to reach ten times the gravity…
Everyone’s perception of Little Fatty changed.
“This fat guy has something special.”
“Amazing, a guy who doesn’t know how to cultivate…
and he withstood ten times the gravity?
How did he do it?”
“My God, isn’t this a historic first for the school?
The first newcomer who doesn’t understand cultivation yet withstands ten times the gravity…”
——
From initial skepticism, admiration, and praise for Little Fatty emerged.
In Ancient Martial Cultivation, strength is respected.
No matter how eloquently you speak, it is less convincing than knocking down your opponent with a single punch.
Little Fatty earned everyone’s respect through his performance.
“Twenty times!”
A cold voice rang in everyone’s ears.
Everyone turned their gaze toward the speaker, the old man…
Oh, he was the Chancellor, so it was fine.
But Tang Fei had a problem.
He quickly ran to Shang Xiulin, trying his best to stay calm, and spoke, “Chancellor, I think Little Fatty has already completed the entrance assessment.
He has passed the ten times gravity test…
Why still continue with the assessment?”
Phoenix also came over and added, “Chancellor, a promise is worth a thousand steeds.
We had clearly agreed before that Little Fatty only needed to pass the gravity assessment to be admitted.
How could you raise the stakes at the last minute?”
“You know, Little Fatty doesn’t understand cultivation.
He has withstood ten times the gravity, which is already the limit of his body…
Twenty times the gravity would grind him into thistle powder…
If you insist on doing this, we might as well not enter this school at all…”
Phoenix knew Little Fatty’s potential and understood what twenty times the gravity entailed.
Even for oneself, entering with the support and protection of Yin Yang Qi, it would be barely manageable…
Little Fatty, with such a mortal body, would likely be torn to shreds.
Shang Xiulin turned and looked at Tang Fei and Phoenix, asking, “How do you know this is his limit?
Are you the teacher, or am I the teacher?”
“Isn’t it?” Phoenix doubtfully looked toward the big screen where Little Fatty, after withstanding ten times the gravity, was drenched in sweat, swaying and seemingly on the verge of collapsing at any moment.
“I don’t think so,” Shang Xiulin said.
“Don’t be fooled by his chubby appearance, but deep down, he has a stubborn streak…
I think his stubbornness hasn’t been fully unearthed yet…”
“But he has no strength left,” Tang Fei said.
“I’m afraid he can’t hold on…”
Shang Xiulin looked at Tang Fei and stated, “Blades and swords have no eyes.
If you’re afraid of death, why even practice or cultivate?”
“…”
Shang Xiulin looked at Tang Fei and Phoenix and suggested, “If you’re really worried, why not ask for his opinion…
If he’s willing to continue, we continue.
If he isn’t willing…
then he’s just an ordinary Warrior, after all.”
“To have brute strength but unable to sense even the Yin Yang Qi, even if he enters the Ancient Martial program, what can he do?
His limits are obvious…”
Tang Fei hesitated for a moment before saying, “Let’s ask Little Fatty’s opinion…”
So, Chen Bing contacted Little Fatty through the yellow electronic elf in the Gravity Room.
“Gong Sunlei, you have passed the ten times gravity test…
Are you willing to continue with the challenge, or choose to stop here?”
Little Fatty struggled to lift his head, looking at the yellow electronic elf speaking to him, and asked, “My brother…
What does my brother say?
I’ll listen…
listen to my brother…”
“Little Fatty.” Tang Fei snatched the communication device from Chen Bing’s hand and spoke, “You’ve already passed the assessment, and you’ve done great…
I want you to stop.
But the Chancellor believes you can continue to challenge…
He thinks you can withstand twenty times the gravity…”
“I accept,” Little Fatty said.
“Little Fatty…
this is dangerous…” Tang Fei hurriedly said, “You might even lose your life…”
“Brother…” Little Fatty lifted his head, looking at the yellow electronic elf as if it were Tang Fei’s embodiment.
On the big screen, Little Fatty’s face, soaked with sweat and red as if it had been boiled, appeared.
White, tender, large.
It filled most of the screen.
“You’ve always been my pride,” Little Fatty panted heavily, his hammer too heavy, now tossed onto the ground.
He had thought it was over, but it wasn’t.
“This time…” Little Fatty looked at the yellow electronic elf as if he were looking at Tang Fei.
His gaze was clear and pure, without any impurities.
He even managed to squeeze out a familiar, naive smile.
“I want to try…
want to make you proud of me once.”
“Little Fatty…”
“Brother, let me try…
just this once,” Little Fatty pleaded.
“Okay,” Tang Fei gritted his teeth, “Just this once…
Little Fatty, whether you succeed or fail, you are always my pride.”
Little Fatty laughed even more happily and said, “Brother, you’re…
you’re kidding me…”
“…”
Since Little Fatty himself agreed, the gravity experiment assessment continued.
Chen Bing looked somewhat troubled at Shang Xiulin and asked, “Director, do we really need twenty times the gravity?”
She knew how terrifying the number twenty times was.
Even entering the Tongyou Realm, breathing would be extremely difficult.
Not to mention Little Fatty, an ordinary person without any cultivation foundation…
Huh, why had she started calling him Little Fatty too?
If a student had an accident in the Gravity Room or was truly crushed into thistle powder as Zhong Yu and Xiu Xue said, their Martial Arts Hall would have to take responsibility, and she as the director could not shirk the blame.
“I’ll take responsibility if something happens,” Shang Xiulin stated.
“Yes, Director,” Chen Bing nodded, took the communication device from Tang Fei, and announced, “Gong Sunlei, continue the gravity experiment.
Next up is the twenty times gravity assessment…”
“Twenty times gravity assessment begins.”
“Twenty times gravity assessment begins,” the electronic elf announced, receiving the order.
Boom!
Little Fatty felt as if someone had struck his head brutally with a hammer.
The hammer he had gotten from the Evil God.
Dizzy and blacking out, he nearly collapsed to the ground.
Worse yet, his nose and eyes began to bleed, followed by his ears and mouth…
Bleeding from seven orifices, it was gruesome and terrifying.
His body seemed to have swollen immensely; every single pore was visible, with blood oozing out through each hair on his skin.
Phoenix couldn’t bear to look anymore, but she couldn’t help but watch because of her concern.
Her hands gripped Tang Fei’s arm so tightly that she almost drew blood.
“Little Fatty will be okay, right?” Phoenix asked.
“Should we stop?
I’ll go talk to the director…
let him stop…”
Tang Fei was silent, not even feeling the pain in his arm.
His eyes were fixed on the big screen, watching every single move Little Fatty made in the Gravity Room.
At that time, every movement Little Fatty made was extremely difficult, even bending over to pick up the hammer took a long time and a lot of effort.
By the time he lifted the hammer again, he was breathing like a bull, as if he had exhausted every inch of strength in his body.
Little Fatty was indeed very exhausted, more so than ever before.
Due to excessive sweating, his eyes were covered by sweat, blurring his vision.
Yet in his heart, a firm and even stubborn thought emerged:
Lift the hammer!
Lift the hammer!
Lift the hammer, just to make his big brother proud once…
“Roar…”
Little Fatty let out a beast-like roar from his mouth, then his body suddenly exerted force.
His facial features, seven orifices, and all the pores on his body bled even more, even spraying out blood, as if his body could be torn apart by the twenty times gravity at any moment.
He lifted the hammer, then fiercely smashed it toward the Diamond that had gathered again in front of him.
Crack…
Brilliant golden light.
A smile of happiness appeared on Little Fatty’s lips, then his vision went black, and his body heavily fell onto the floor of the Gravity Room.
Bang!
The Gravity Room clanged with a thud.
“Little Fatty…” Tang Fei and Phoenix screamed, simultaneously running toward the direction of the Gravity Room.
“He’s amazing, this fatty is just amazing…”
“He’s practically risking his life, his flesh was almost torn apart by gravity…”
“Did you see?
He has no True Qi protecting his body…
His flesh was in an unprotected relaxed state…
This isn’t scientific, not scientific at all…”
“If it were an ordinary person, they probably would have turned to mush by now…”
——
But Shang Xiulin’s gaze was profound as he stared at Little Fatty in the Gravity Room, thinking, “Exactly…
just as expected…”
A guy who didn’t understand cultivation, yet survived twenty times the gravity relying purely on brute strength…
It was the first case since the founding of the First Military Academy, truly like a god descending to earth.
It was said that Li Yuanba, a war god from thousands of years ago, had the strength to rip apart bulls and fight with dragons barehanded…
“Director, this student will be joining our Ancient Martial Department, right?” an middle-aged teacher squeezed over, smiling ingratiatingly.
“Yes, Director, we still have a few spots in our class…
I can specially recruit him…” another young Ancient Martial teacher ran over.
“I think, for a student who can’t feel the Yin Yang Qi, you need a more patient teacher…
and our female teachers have a natural advantage in this regard…” a young female teacher dressed in a well-fitting Martial Arts uniform squeezed over and said, “Principal, let me take him.
I assure you, within three years, I will bring him to the Imperial Qi Realm…”
“You young teachers, do you even consider us older predecessors?
These challenging students should be given to us…
We have richer teaching experience and can more easily provide targeted treatments…
What do you know?”
“Stop fighting over him,” Shang Xiulin waved his hand and said, “I’ll take this disciple.”
“…”
