Chapter 377: Gravity Chamber! You

Before going to see Teacher Su Qingli, Xu Jingming called her first.

Fortunately, he had called ahead, or he wouldn't have known Teacher Su wasn't at the villa.

She was in the top-floor office of the central headquarters building of Lei Ting Martial Arts.

"Only authorized personnel can enter the top floor of the headquarters building. I've already informed my assistant."

"She's waiting for you in the first-floor lobby. When you arrive, she'll take you up."

From the other end of the line, Su Qingli's crisp, melodious voice rang out.

Xu Jingming nodded and replied, "Understood. I'm on my way now."

"By the way, I've never seen Lei Ting Martial Arts' global headquarters. I wonder what kind of grand building it is."

After hanging up, Xu Jingming walked toward the central area with a hint of anticipation.

Ordinary psychics only knew Lei Ting Martial Arts as a place offering training grounds and instructors.

In reality, Lei Ting Martial Arts was involved in a vast array of operations.

It had achieved success in weapons, battle armor, potions, and more.

It even participated in excavating ancient civilization ruins and frontline wars.

In short, Lei Ting Martial Arts was a superpower that merged all functions of a military legion and a guild!

As the global headquarters of Lei Ting Martial Arts, the entire building was constructed with great luxury.

When Xu Jingming arrived nearby and looked from afar,

he saw

the entire black-walled building standing like a massive, sci-fi spaceship.

The entrance to the first-floor lobby was forty to fifty meters wide!

A constant stream of people came and went through the entrance.

There were business elites in suits, powerful high-rank psychics,

and even psychic squads in bloodstained battle armor, as if returning from a mission.

"So this is the headquarters building. Indeed, bustling." Xu Jingming smiled and stepped inside.

"Student Xu, follow me."

As soon as he entered the spacious first-floor lobby, Liu Wei, who had been waiting there, led him into the elevator.

"Ding. Identity verified. Proceed."

Liu Wei swiped a card over the elevator's sensor.

With a sensation of weightlessness, the elevator ascended and finally stopped at the 34th floor, the highest level.

Stepping out of the elevator, a vast hall greeted him.

Under Liu Wei's guidance, Xu Jingming entered one of the rooms and finally saw Su Qingli again.

It was a training room, with the floor, walls, and ceiling all made of hardened alloy.

The training room's area was larger than any training room Xu Jingming had ever seen!

At least several thousand square meters by estimation!

Such a vast space was provided solely for Su Qingli's use.

Su Qingli stood inside a small room at the center of the training room.

The small room had transparent glass on all four sides, with rows of ancient script projected onto the glass.

The only character Xu Jingming could recognize was the simple number "500."

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...

Through the glass, he saw Su Qingli was no longer wearing casual training clothes as she had yesterday.

She wore a sleek, silver-white female battle suit, wielding a long sword with fluid motion.

Terrifying emerald lightning flashed as the sword shifted its techniques—thrusting, slashing—each movement precise.

Every technique seemed ready to tear space apart, radiating immense power.

Xu Jingming, just entering the training room, felt his heart skip a beat, silently astonished.

Isn't Teacher Su an elementalist? Why is her swordplay so formidable?

"Director, Xu Jingming has arrived."

Liu Wei, wearing black-rimmed glasses and a single ponytail, her demeanor gentle, stepped before the small room and bowed respectfully.

"Hmm. You may leave."

"Yes!"

Liu Wei bowed out of the training room. Su Qingli sheathed her sword.

She stepped out of the transparent room, her round legs tightly encased in the silver-white battle suit, walking toward Xu Jingming.

At that moment, Xu Jingming was startled to notice a light sheen of sweat on Su Qingli's fair forehead.

What was going on?

Could training alone make a ninth-rank Law Saint sweat?

Was the sword that heavy?

As if sensing Xu Jingming's confusion, Su Qingli smiled lightly and said:

"You haven't used the gravity room in the practical training building yet, have you? This small room is a gravity room."

"Only under intense gravitational pressure can training be truly effective."

As she spoke, she spun a beautiful sword flourish—her speed now more than several times faster than before inside the small room!

"I see." Xu Jingming finally understood.

A gravity room was a chamber capable of freely adjusting gravitational force.

But gravity rooms could only be excavated from ancient ruins, and each one was extremely rare.

Even Mo University didn't have one, so he'd never experienced it.

Now knowing the small room was a gravity room, Xu Jingming stared in shock at the "500" displayed on the glass:

"Teacher, your gravity room is set to 500 times gravity?!"

"You noticed?"

Su Qingli casually tossed her sword onto a nearby weapon rack and smiled.

"For an elementalist like me, 500 times gravity is just right."

"It provides effective training without being overly taxing."

"It's really 500 times gravity?!" Xu Jingming was utterly stunned.

What did 500 times gravity even mean?

If Su Qingli weighed around sixty kilograms, then under this gravity,

her own body weight alone would exert a pressure of thirty tons!

Not to mention she held a steel longsword and moved it rapidly!

To accomplish this proved Su Qingli's extraordinary physical strength.

"But Teacher, aren't you an elementalist? How do you have such a powerful physique? And your swordplay is so refined?"

Xu Jingming couldn't help but ask.

"Elementalists need to train their bodies too."

"Otherwise, if your body is too weak, a martialist could just dash in and grab you—how would you fight then?"

Su Qingli said casually, "We elementalists simply spend far less time on physical training than martialists do."

"A ninth-rank Martial Saint can withstand at least a thousand times gravity."

"A thousand times gravity?"

This was a number Xu Jingming simply couldn't imagine at his current level.

Under such intense gravity, he'd likely turn into a pulp the moment he stepped inside.

"Also, before I became an elementalist, my swordplay was already quite good."

"I reached Master-level proficiency, nearly perfected."

Su Qingli added.

"Nearly perfected swordplay! No wonder it looked so extraordinary. Teacher, you're incredible."

Amazed, Xu Jingming quickly praised her.

"You're good with words, but don't flatter me. What do you want?"

Though she spoke that way, the slight upward curve of her rosy lips revealed she was pleased.

Xu Jingming promptly said, "Teacher, I want to go to Dungeon No. 4."

"To Dungeon No. 4?"

Su Qingli furrowed her elegant brows, her beautiful eyes fixed on Xu Jingming as she warned seriously:

"Your top priority now is mastering the Divine River Contemplation Method. Become a formal elementalist as soon as possible."

"Until then, don't think about going anywhere else."

"If you need money, just tell me. Give me your bank account number—I'll transfer it directly."

As she spoke, Su Qingli opened the smart bracelet on her left wrist, preparing to transfer funds.

"No, no, I still have enough money. I just want to go to the dungeon."

Xu Jingming waved his hands quickly, then added:

"Also, I've already learned the Divine River Contemplation Method."

"Learned it?!" Su Qingli froze in surprise upon hearing this.
