Chapter 377: Gravity Room! You

Before going to find his teacher Su Qingli, Xu Jingming called her first.

Fortunately, he had called ahead, otherwise he wouldn't have known Su Laoshi 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 office of the headquarters building; I've already informed my assistant."

"She's waiting for you on the first-floor lobby; when you arrive, she'll take you up."

From the other end of the call, 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 magnificent 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 the excavation of ancient civilization ruins and frontline warfare.

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

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

When Xu Jingming arrived nearby and gazed from afar,

he could see,

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

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

The entrance was constantly filled with people coming and going.

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 as he 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 across the elevator's sensor.

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

Stepping out of the elevator, a spacious 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 floor, walls, and ceiling all made of hardened alloy.

The entire 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 area was provided solely for Su Qingli's use.

Su Qingli was 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."

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!...

Through the glass, Xu Jingming saw that Su Qingli was no longer wearing her casual training clothes as she had yesterday.

She now wore a sleek, silver-white female combat suit, wielding a longsword with fluid motion.

Between flashes of terrifying emerald lightning, the sword shifted its techniques with incredible agility—thrusting, slashing.

Each movement seemed ready to tear space apart, brimming with immense power.

This made Xu Jingming, just entering the training room, feel a sudden jolt in his chest, silently astonished.

Su Laoshi is an elementalist—how come her swordplay looks so powerful?

"Director, Xu Jingming has arrived."

Liu Wei, wearing black-rimmed glasses and sporting a single ponytail that exuded gentleness, stepped forward before the small room and bowed respectfully.

"Mm, you may leave."

"Yes!"

Liu Wei bowed and withdrew from the training room; Su Qingli sheathed her sword.

She stepped out of the transparent room, her rounded legs tightly encased in the silver-white combat 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 mere training 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 room capable of freely adjusting gravity.

Only ancient ruins can yield gravity chambers, and each one is extremely precious.

He had never even seen a Level-3 Demon, let alone experienced one.

Xu Jingming, who now understood that the small room was the gravity chamber, was stunned when he saw the number "500" displayed on the transparent glass:

"Teacher, is this gravity chamber set to five hundred times gravity?!"

"You noticed?"

Su Qingli casually tossed the long sword in her hand precisely onto the weapon rack beside her and smiled:

"For an elemental master like me, five hundred times gravity is just right.

It provides effective training without imposing excessive strain."

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

What did five hundred times gravity even mean?

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

Just her own body weight would exert a crushing pressure of thirty tons upon her!

Not to mention she held a titanium alloy long sword—and was swinging it rapidly!

The fact that she could do this clearly demonstrated Su Qingli's formidable physique!

"But Teacher, aren't you an elemental master? How do you have such a powerful physique? And your swordplay looks incredibly refined?"

Xu Jingming couldn't resist asking out of curiosity.

"Elemental masters certainly need to train their bodies.

Otherwise, if your physique is too weak and a martial artist rushes in to grab you, how are you supposed to fight?"

Su Qingli said casually, "We elemental masters simply spend far less time on physical conditioning than martial artists 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 could not imagine at his current stage.

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

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

I reached Master-level proficiency, nearly approaching perfection."

Su Qingli added another remark.

"Nearly perfect swordplay! No wonder it looked extraordinary—Teacher, you're truly amazing."

Still stunned, Xu Jingming quickly flattered her.

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

Although Su Qingli spoke these words, the faint upward curve of her rosy lips clearly showed she was in good spirits.

Xu Jingming promptly said: "Teacher, I'd like to go to Dungeon No. 4."

"To Dungeon No. 4?"

Su Qingli furrowed her delicate brows, her beautiful eyes fixed on Xu Jingming as she gave serious advice:

"Your top priority right now is mastering the Shenhe Contemplation Method—achieve success as soon as possible and become a full-fledged elemental master.

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

If you need money, just tell me—what's 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 on me—I just want to go to a dungeon."

Xu Jingming waved his hands quickly, then added:

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

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