Chapter 6

"Damn, how can this cultivation technique be so extreme? I feel like my whole body is about to tear apart! No wonder Badian's strength is shocking; just starting to learn it is this painful!"

Badian Wudi was the one among the ten titled Wu Di (Martial Emperors) who was universally acknowledged as the strongest!

Xiaoming had obtained this Body Tempering Technique by chance from Badian Wudi and had never dared to publicize it. He had originally intended to practice it secretly, but he ended up dying in the Tianrang Mountains before he could even begin.

"With this Body Tempering Technique, even if I can't unblock my pulse wheels, I can still cultivate to the level of a Wu Di!"

Li Yunxiao took a deep breath and shouted again, bending his body. Those who could cultivate to the peak of the Ninth Heaven Realm all had astonishing perseverance. Talent was certainly important, but even more important was the courage and determination to never give up and to always strive forward!

"The first move of the Badian Body Tempering Technique—Moon Sun!"

Li Yunxiao once again formed a circular posture, and the immense pulling force made his body feel as if it were being torn apart by five horses, with every muscle and bone beginning to disintegrate!

"Bang!~"

This time, he lasted for five seconds before being flung out again, landing directly on the wall. His internal organs were shaken, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Again!"

He shouted, the setbacks fueling his pride, "If Badian can temper his body, I can do it even better!"

Among the ten titled Wu Di, although Badian was generally acknowledged as the strongest, none of them were willing to admit it. They all had soaring pride and looked down upon the world!

"Moon Sun Style!"

...

A day later, in the college's gravity training hall.

Various teleportation arrays were engraved on the green stone bricks, leading to different gravity zones. Students just needed to place a spirit stone into the array to be directly teleported.

The entire gravity teleportation array was scattered over several acres, and only the capital had the strength to create such a training ground! In the center of the dozens of teleportation arrays was a raised platform, covering over a thousand square meters, which was the landing point for all the gravity zones.

Li Yunxiao watched the students coming and going, their youthful and innocent faces, and his thoughts seemed to drift back several decades. Back then, he was just an ordinary martial apprentice, like all the others, listening to the legendary stories of great heroes, practicing diligently day and night, and striving to become a strong person in his heart.

Most of those who came here to train were from poor families, hoping to one day become the kingdom's warriors, rise to prominence, and bring glory to their families!

Everyone entered the teleportation arrays with high spirits, but came out like wilted eggplants. They were mostly silent, and few spoke. Occasionally, someone would look at his luxurious attire and show a surprised expression.

He walked into a yellow array marked with "10x" and placed a spirit stone inside. Instantly, a yellow light rose from the array, enveloping him. His figure gradually faded and disappeared in the gravity hall.

The moment he landed, he felt an astonishing tearing force from the ground, causing his entire body to collapse, with all his flesh and blood squeezed together!

"Ha!~, Ha!~"

Li Yunxiao was mentally prepared, breathing heavily. Due to the severe lack of blood in his upper body, he looked abnormally pale and terrifying, and his body had become somewhat deformed.

He forced his body to straighten and looked around. The 10x gravity zone was even larger than the gravity teleportation hall, divided into training rooms numbered from 001 to 200. Considering that the entire Jialan Academy had tens of thousands of students, two hundred training rooms were not many.

At that moment, many people were without rooms and were sitting in the public area waiting.

Li Yunxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, his divine sense scanning the area lightly, and he panted as he walked toward training room 013. Each step was almost a full exertion of his strength, and the fine blood vessels in his body expanded and contracted dramatically under the gravity, breathing on their own.

"I must quickly master the Moon Sun Style. When I use medicinal drugs to impact my meridians, this body must be able to withstand it!"

It took him more than half a minute to move his body to training room 013. Just as he arrived, the door of training room 013 suddenly opened, and a student with a pale face and drenched in sweat walked out.

Seeing Li Yunxiao, he was slightly stunned, then lowered his head and walked toward the teleportation array.

"Finally, someone came out, but this kid took it!"

"We've been waiting for a long time, and no one came out. This kid just got lucky, right?"

"Yeah, it's like he knew 013 was about to be free."

"Who is this kid? Why don't I sense any elemental energy fluctuations from him?"

"Are you kidding? No elemental energy fluctuations mean he hasn't opened his pulse wheels. How could an ordinary person withstand 10x gravity!"

Just as Li Yunxiao was about to step into training room 013, a hand suddenly reached out and stopped him. A student with a smile, wearing a white robe, stood in front of him, "I am Yu Hezheng, a student in the intermediate class, a peak martial apprentice with seven pulse wheels. You're new, right? Give me this room."

The students at the academy were divided into four grades: the primary class, intermediate class, advanced class, and graduating class.

Li Yunxiao raised his head and said coldly, "Go to hell, get out of the way!"

Yu Hezheng's face changed drastically. In his rage, he seemed to think of something, glanced behind him, and immediately regained his composure, suppressing his anger, "You're new, right? Do me a favor today, and if you have any problems in the academy, just mention my name."

"Go to hell, still not moving?"

Yu Hezheng's face turned dark with anger. No one had ever dared to defy him like this. He laughed coldly, "Haha, you've got guts! A waste of a person with no elemental energy fluctuations dares to talk to me like this. Today, I'll teach you some rules for new students!" As he spoke, his aura suddenly surged, forming a faint pressure that rushed toward Li Yunxiao!

"Elemental energy? Could it be that Yu Hezheng has already condensed elemental energy and broken through to the First Yuan Realm?!" A cry of surprise echoed in the public area, and everyone's attention was drawn to him, their faces filled with astonishment.

"What a strong talent! I heard he only opened his seventh pulse wheel last week. It should take months to condense elemental energy, but he did it in just seven days!"

"I don't think so. He should still be at the martial apprentice stage. If he had truly broken through to the martial warrior stage, he would have elemental energy light, not just the pressure of elemental energy."

"Even so, that's still amazing. I think in ten days, he will truly advance to the First Yuan Realm!"

"Kid, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll just break all your ribs and won't take your life." Yu Hezheng, hearing the shocked comments around him, felt a sense of pride, especially with his crush standing behind him, wanting to show off. A force began to gather in his fist.

"Whoosh!~"

He suddenly punched out, the tendons and bones in his arm cracking like popping beans. A powerful fist wind spread out, like a fierce tiger descending from the sky, rushing toward Li Yunxiao!

"Tiger Subduing Fist? It looks impressive, but the Tiger Subduing Fist is not just about the momentum of a tiger roaring in the mountains; it's also about the timing to strike with one blow. You have the form but lack the essence." Just as everyone was holding their breath for Li Yunxiao, he actually started to give Yu Hezheng pointers, as if he were a teacher guiding a student.

"Is this kid crazy? A peak martial apprentice's punch, and he's still making jokes?" A student widened his eyes.

"I don't think he's joking. Although he's a bit arrogant, what he said is indeed true!" Another student said thoughtfully.

Another student shook his head, "Whether what he said is true or not, facing a peak martial apprentice's punch, he doesn't dodge or evade. Unless he has the strength of a martial warrior, he's in for a bad time!"

Yu Hezheng was also furious and added more force to his punch. Originally, he only wanted to cripple the other person, but now he was determined to completely disable this show-off!

"Ha!"

Li Yunxiao lightly shouted, took a step forward, and formed a dragon shape with his hands in front of his chest, suddenly opening a large mouth as if to devour everything!

Everyone seemed to have a moment of illusion, hearing a faint dragon's roar in their ears!

Yu Hezheng's pupils constricted. His Tiger Subduing Fist was powerful, covering all angles, leaving no room for evasion. But the other person's single move gave a sense of devouring the sky and earth, not only destroying all the tiger's might but also appearing like a huge, bloodthirsty mouth waiting for him to step in.

"What's going on? Why do I feel like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?"

Yu Hezheng was startled but quickly regained his composure, "No matter how strange your move is, I'm still a peak martial apprentice. With my strength, I can crush you!"

"Ah!~"

Suddenly, a pain shot through his arm. His seemingly infallible punch missed. Li Yunxiao had somehow formed a claw with his ten fingers, advancing instead of retreating, and suddenly grabbed his right arm. The pain instantly shot into his brain, and what made him even angrier was that after being touched by the other person's ten fingers, the energy in his arm disappeared, leaving him powerless!

"Hmph!"

Li Yunxiao, having landed his move, moved forward, colliding with Yu Hezheng. He squatted slightly and rammed his right shoulder into Yu Hezheng's chest.

"Bang!"

Yu Hezheng's chest went numb, and a surge of blood rushed to his throat. He staggered backward, taking several steps before regaining his balance.

"Sigh, this body..." Li Yunxiao sighed inwardly, extremely dissatisfied with his current body. If he had the same strength as Yu Hezheng, he could have completely disabled the other person's arm with the dragon move and killed him with the shoulder ram. Now, he had only caused pain in the other person's arm and a numbness in his chest.

"Whoosh, what just happened? Did anyone see clearly?"

"Yu Hezheng's punch could split mountains and rocks. I even saw a faint elemental energy light. How did it get broken so easily?"

"Too strange! This kid has no elemental energy fluctuations. Could he be a hidden expert?"
