Chapter 154 The Count is Formidable

Huang Changqing was also startled inwardly; he had not expected Shen An to anticipate this far.

"It seems the Lord Count has seen right through me. My little scheme truly could not be concealed from the Lord Count."

Everyone was astonished.

"Both Director Huang and the Lord Count held back their true strength during the earlier match? Does that mean if they were to unleash their true power, the fight would become even more spectacular?" A young awakened individual looked forward to it with anticipation, while also feeling somewhat disappointed that he could not witness a genuine contest between Shen An and Director Huang.

"After all, he is a young count with the Grandmasters Council backing him. Director Huang would naturally not dare to easily injure him," another awakened person remarked.

"However, the fact that the young count was able to unleash the Vibrating Fist is still not something an ordinary person could accomplish."

Shen An turned to Director Huang beside him and asked, "Does Director Huang have a gravity chamber available for cultivation here? The higher the gravity in the chamber, the better."

"Could it be that the Lord Count wishes to cultivate inside a gravity chamber? Heh, I wonder how many times normal gravity the Lord Count can withstand. I do happen to have a gravity chamber set to forty times gravity here; I wonder if that suits the Lord Count's wishes?" Director Huang said.

"A gravity chamber with forty times gravity sounds quite good; it's a fine place for cultivation!" Shen An smiled. If he could cultivate under forty times gravity, the magnitude of his improvement would undoubtedly increase significantly.

"He actually intends to cultivate under forty times gravity? How astonishing! What on earth is he thinking? Why does he believe he can cultivate under forty times gravity? Isn't he afraid that his internal organs will be directly crushed by the gravity?" An awakened person grew worried, feeling that Shen An's decision was somewhat reckless. Even though Shen An was an awakened one from the Grandmasters Council, he ought not to be so rash.

"No way, going to cultivate in a forty-times gravity chamber—does he think he's made of iron? I'm afraid even an iron body couldn't withstand that kind of pressure, right?"

"Precisely. Under forty times gravity, how can anyone easily resist it? That is simply not an environment the human body can endure."

"Going there to cultivate—is he truly not afraid of being crushed to death by the immense gravity?"

"He's actually heading toward the forty-times gravity chamber. I truly admire his courage. If it were me, I would definitely never dare to cultivate inside a forty-times gravity chamber."

As the awakened onlookers watched Shen An walk toward the forty-times gravity chamber, they looked at him as if staring at a demon. Only a demon would make such a reckless choice.

Generally speaking, a gravity chamber with forty times gravity was not a place meant for cultivation. Such a place was only opened on rare occasions and was by no means accessible for awakened ones to train in.

However, Shen An was different. He was a count of the Grandmasters Council, and he had also obtained Director Huang's permission.

Soon, Shen An stepped through the doors of the forty-times gravity chamber. The doors closed, locking Shen An inside the gravity chamber.

Shen An sat down quietly within the gravity chamber and began to cultivate.

First, he circulated his breathing technique, and building upon that foundation, he silently recited the twelve-word incantation, formed hand seals in front of his abdomen, and slowly regulated his breath.

After cultivating for half an hour, Shen An immediately felt the effect. The free-floating primordial essence wandering between heaven and earth surged toward him, being absorbed into his body.

Talent Value +100
Talent Value +100
Talent Value +100
……

In half an hour, a full 1,500 points of talent value were added.

He summoned the interface and glanced at his attributes:

Talent [Devour], Talent Value Grade A (1/50,000)
Talent [Space], Talent Value Grade S (1/1,000,000)
Hidden Talent [Connect Future], Talent Value Grade SA (1/10,000,000)
Available Talent Value: 104,000.
Talent Mall: Psychic Master Ability 500,000, Hundun Body Refining Art 1,000,000...

Shen An continuously improved himself inside the forty-times gravity chamber, while everyone standing outside the chamber stared in utter bewilderment.

"What the hell is going on here? Why is he able to reach such a terrifying degree? Can he really cultivate inside a forty-times gravity chamber?" A young awakened individual looked at the glowing green light beside the gravity chamber, confirming that there truly was immense gravity at work inside.

Ordinary people, let alone forty times gravity, would find even a single fold of gravity difficult to endure; forty times was simply an unimaginable feat.

Compared to these people, Huang Changqing appeared much calmer. Having crossed paths with Shen An in combat, he naturally had some understanding of him. Even he himself could manage to cultivate under forty times gravity for a short while, let alone Shen An.

However, he could only endure for a maximum of five minutes inside the forty-times gravity chamber—persisting for five minutes in there was absolute, definitive limit for him.

Yet Shen An had now persisted inside the gravity chamber for a full half-hour, and this duration was still continuously increasing.

"To think of it, he can actually cultivate in the gravity chamber with such ease. His talent exceeds my imagination." Director Huang Changqing felt immense envy toward Shen An's talent; even he felt he fell far short by comparison.

"Good heavens, Director Huang Changqing, is it really alright to let that count of the Grandmasters Council cultivate in there? Aren't you worried that something might happen to him? If an accident befell the count of the Grandmasters Council, I'm afraid..."

Huang Changqing smiled faintly and said, "Everyone, rest assured. The count's physique is by no means something ordinary people can compare to. Think about how the count was able to smash right through a tank with his fists—could any of you do that?"

"Indeed, you people are just worrying blindly. The count himself hasn't said a word, yet what are you fussing over?"

"Just how formidable is the count's strength? He is someone capable of piercing through a tank. How could we possibly measure his might?"

Huang Changqing remarked, "If my guess is correct, that count should be able to persist in there for as long as a full hour. Surviving an hour under forty times gravity is something only a handful of young people in Silver City can achieve."

"More than just a handful—no one else could possibly reach that level, period."

"As expected of the Lord Count, being able to cultivate under forty times gravity. It makes me want to try cultivating under forty times gravity myself."

"You want to cultivate under forty times gravity too? Hahaha, don't make people laugh their teeth out. If you went to cultivate in the forty-times gravity chamber, I'm afraid you'd be crying and screaming in under ten seconds. That's a forty-times gravity chamber, not just any ordinary place."

"Are you looking down on me? I'll just go try and show you." A stubborn young man retorted.

Huang Changqing shook his head and said, "To enter the forty-times gravity chamber, one must be at least at the Third Rank. None of you should have reached the Third Rank yet, right? That is the absolute minimum baseline. If you can't even reach the Third Rank, entering such a gravity chamber carries extreme danger."

Hearing Huang Changqing's words, the crowd backed off, knowing they had no hope of ever entering the forty-times gravity chamber.
