Chapter 117

Afternoon, martial arts class

In the martial arts classroom, after class started, most of the top thirty students in the grade returned to their own martial arts rooms to practice.

Others were training their skills in the corners.

Zhang Cheng walked through the martial arts classroom with his hands behind his back to inspect; by the second semester of the third year of high school, he had taught everything he should teach.

The rest depended on themselves to practice and comprehend.

His role had also become very limited; his daily work was more about supervising the students' cultivation.

"Teacher, I have a question to ask!"

Lin Qi suddenly stepped forward and asked seriously.

"What question?"

"You are now the number one in martial arts in our Second Middle School; what other questions could you have?"

Zhang Cheng looked at Lin Qi in confusion.

"Teacher, I feel that my spear technique martial arts are not improving fast enough?" Lin Qi said.

"You are not fast enough?"

"You have already charged to the number one in the grade; there are not more than three people in the entire Tianhai City stronger than you."

Zhang Cheng shook his head; this was the most humble-bragging sentence he had heard this year.

Seeing Lin Qi's serious eyes.

Zhang Cheng pondered for a moment and sighed: "Geniuses like you are always unwilling to be satisfied with the status quo."

"Decades ago, facing the invasion of disaster beasts, martial arts were just starting, in order to improve Qi-Blood values and martial arts."

"Countless people racked their brains and came up with various training methods."

"Some of these methods were constantly optimized and are still being used today."

"Lin Qi, have you heard of a gravity room?"

Lin Qi nodded; he knew gravity rooms all too well.

"The so-called survival of the fittest."

"When we humans face crises, our body's genes will instinctively undergo metamorphosis and evolution to deal with crises in the natural environment."

"Especially after the appearance of Source Energy and the rise of martial arts, the instinct for evolution has become even more prominent."

"And the gravity room is a cultivation resource where we humans use technology to simulate gravity, apply pressure to the human body, and stimulate potential."

"However, gravity rooms are precious and only exist in universities."

Lin Qi nodded; he certainly knew this; even the martial arts mansion didn't have one.

Or rather, it did, but he currently didn't have the qualifications to use it.

Zhang Cheng smiled and said: "Such precious resources as gravity rooms are naturally not something we can use currently, but we have beggar-like gravity rooms."

"Before the Martial Arts Era, many athletes had the concept of weight-bearing training."

"And the current Martial Arts Era has also retained this method."

After speaking, Zhang Cheng extended his right hand, operated his smart watch, and projected a green screen.

In the screen was a metal ring formed by a silver hollow cylinder.

"This is a gravity ring produced by the Red Dome Martial Arts Mansion, mainly refined from a special alloy mixed with lead and iron."

"It has one characteristic, and that is — heavy!"

"The lightest one is 10 jin, and a pair is 20 jin."

"Wearing them on your arms and legs to practice is extremely useful for the improvement of Qi-Blood values and martial arts."

"Persist for a period of time, and you will find that your control over the spear technique will reach a new level."

Lin Qi nodded after seeing it; sure enough, weight-bearing training was still needed.

"Thank you for your guidance, Teacher!"

Zhang Cheng reminded: "Pay attention to acting according to your ability; don't use gravity rings that are too heavy at the beginning."

"Otherwise, it will cause damage to your body's bones."

"I understand, thank you for your guidance, Teacher!"

After Lin Qi thanked him, he turned and left.

Zhang Cheng looked at Lin Qi's back and muttered to himself: "Weight-bearing training, it's very rare to do this now."

"After all, daily training is already bitter and tiring enough, and with the addition of gravity rings, human will cannot endure it."

"It's better to follow the steps and wait until you enter university to enjoy the ten-fold accelerated cultivation effect of the gravity room."

"I don't know if Lin Qi can endure it?"

……

Lin Qi returned to his martial arts room, took out his phone to log into the Red Dome Home, and searched for gravity rings.

Soon, the pictures and prices of gravity rings were refreshed.

He found that the order quantity was not high, but the price was not cheap.

Mainly targeting the human limbs, a ten-jin gravity ring cost 20,000, so two pairs cost 80,000 Xia Nation coins.

Lin Qi sent his body data for his arms and legs, placed the order quickly, and it showed it would be delivered in the afternoon.

……

At night, Red Dome Martial Arts Mansion, inside the B123 martial arts room. "Master, your express delivery!" Xiao Chan, who was projected, reminded.

"Thanks, Xiao Chan!"

Lin Qi changed into his martial arts uniform, opened the express delivery on the ground, and it was packaged in a black large metal box.

Lin Qi opened it and found four black hollow iron rings inside, the surface smooth and clear, not thick, only three millimeters.

Lin Qi opened them; the hollow gravity rings opened from the middle, and there was a special interlocking setting on them.

He slowly installed them on his wrists; ten jin was not heavy, icy cold, fitting on the skin and leaving a fine gap.

After wearing them on his four limbs, he found they were not heavy either; Lin Qi began to move his body and only then discovered the difference.

"Hoo hoo~~"

Lin Qi waved his arms and thighs.

The gravity rings made a subtle sound from friction with the air.

Under the effect of the weight on his body, his speed and agility were undeniably affected quite a bit.

!

Especially when he picked up the Lei Jiao Great Spear, holding the long spear high, presenting a straight line.

Carrying a 60-jin heavy object on a single arm.

Heavy!

"Hoo~"

Lin Qi exhaled a breath of turbid air, clearly feeling the heaviness on his arms, and after a moment, soreness came.

"Swish swish!!"

The spear body trembled slightly, the spear tip shaking, stabbing out crazily, tearing through the sky and emitting a sharp whistling sound.

10, 12, 13!

"Two spears less!"

Lin Qi stopped, the veins on his arms bulging, trembling uncontrollably.

Beads of sweat the size of beans constantly slid down his face.

"Before, I could stab 15 spears in one second; now, wearing the gravity rings, it's two spears less."

"The 10-jin weight really affected my speed."

Lin Qi revealed a smile; it was right that there was an effect.

With the gravity rings on, he was easily fatigued during training, and his wrists were sore.

This was a good thing, showing there was room for improvement.

If he could still recover to fifteen spears per second while wearing the gravity rings, once he took them off, he might be able to reach seventeen spears per second, and his strength would have an earth-shaking change.

"From now on, no matter what I do, I must wear the gravity rings."

"Let my body thoroughly get used to the existence of the gravity rings, so my strength can improve quickly."

Lin Qi made a decision; who said gravity rings were not good? This thing was too good.

It was just a huge test of human will.

And his strongest point was his will!

So he grabbed the Lei Jiao Great Spear again and began to train fiercely.

With the "Vigorous as a Dragon and Tiger" talent and the recuperation pod, the fatigue of one day could be completely recovered by the next day.

Next, his goal was the monthly assessment in half a month.

……

Time passed slowly, and the third-year students returned to calm again.

All enthusiasm and energy were invested in martial arts.

Because these were the three months that determined everyone's fate.

Unknowingly, time arrived at the first monthly assessment of the second semester of the third year of high school.

At 7:30 PM, after experiencing the torment of a day of cultural subject exams, everyone in the elite class of Tianhai Second Middle School gathered in the martial arts classroom.

Zhang Cheng stood next to the Qi-Blood detector, looking around at everyone; although he didn't speak, a tense atmosphere had already permeated every corner.

"It's been a month; school has been open for a month."

"You only have two more months left."

"Today, let's test the results of all your cultivation."

"I announce, the Qi-Blood test begins now!"

"When your name is called, come up and test yourself!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Some were nervous, some were eager to try.

And Lin Qi stood in the middle of the crowd, arms crossed, his expression calm, showing no emotion.

"First, Liu Yiheng!"
