In the training camp, although opportunities to use the ancient civilisation gravity room were rare, each use had an astonishing effect. In addition, every day in the training camp there were two hours that could be spent in the imitation gravity room. Although the imitation gravity room only had a maximum of three times gravity, the advantage was the long usage time.
Therefore, Luo Feng’s progress here was clearly much faster than in Jiangnan Base City.
When he first arrived at the end of March, Luo Feng’s punching force was 11,500 kilograms.
By the end of April, his punching force had reached 13,600 kilograms. An increase of 2,100 kilograms in one month, a clearly much faster rate.
By the end of May, Luo Feng’s punching force had reached 16,500 kilograms, an increase of 2,900 kilograms in one month. This was mainly because in May, he had an extra hour of access to the ancient civilisation gravity room. That extra hour was split into three uses of twenty minutes over three days, and three days of such training was equivalent to fifteen days of normal training. This was the efficiency of extreme gravity training.
Of course, part of this was also due to his improved physical condition, which naturally increased training speed.
The stronger the body, the faster the cultivation progress.
By the end of June, or more precisely just yesterday, Luo Feng had tested himself and reached a punching force of 19,600 kilograms, an increase of nearly 3,100 kilograms in one month. Compared to May, the improvement was not huge.
It should be noted:
16,000 kilograms to 32,000 kilograms was the level of an intermediate War General.
32,000 kilograms to 64,000 kilograms was the level of a high War General.
Above 64,000 kilograms was War God level.
With a 2.8 times burst, Luo Feng could already reach about 55,000 kilograms. He was not far from entering the War God level.
“I was ranked 48th last month, so this month my time in the ancient civilisation training room has doubled.”
Luo Feng clearly understood the effect of the gravity room. Twenty minutes per session over three days produced results equivalent to fifteen days of normal training. This month, he had four hours in total, divided into twelve sessions of twenty minutes each.
This was the most efficient training method the elite training camp students had discovered over long periods of experience. Each twenty minutes over three days produced nearly double the effect compared to staying in the gravity room for one hour in a single day.
“Last month I improved by 3,100 kilograms. This month I estimate I can improve by over 4,000 kilograms.”
“At this rate, in ten months my physical strength can reach War God level. My spiritual念力 will already be at high War God level.”
Ten months, meaning by next year’s first half, he would possess combat strength that could dominate War God level. Of course, this assumed the dark golden sphere in his consciousness continued to provide sufficient spiritual energy.
Let us look forward to it.
Let it continue until he reaches high War God level.
“If I can obtain a portion of dragon blood.”
“Then in just one or two months, I can become a high War God.”
Luo Feng desperately wanted dragon blood. Depending on the user’s strength, its effect varied. The stronger the user, the weaker the effect, but normally it could double one’s strength, and it also accelerated future cultivation speed.
Dragon blood.
And now he had one chance to obtain it, if he reached a combat power multiplier of 12 before 1 August.
“12. I am only at 8.96 now. What should I do?”
“Normal training alone will not allow me to break through in such a short time.”
Luo Feng gritted his teeth.
“If I do not risk something, I will not gain anything. I can only use that method.”
Life and death battles.
The best way to improve strength was life and death combat.
This included battles with monsters and battles with humans.
Naturally, fighting human martial artists with higher intelligence and combat skill yielded better results. However, if the difference in strength was too large, it was meaningless. A single strike victory or defeat did not produce the true essence of life and death combat. The best opponent was one who was evenly matched, where both sides could fight with everything on the line.
But very few warriors were willing to risk real death. Fortunately, there was the challenge room, where in virtual space one could fight without restraint.
However, challenge room betting required money or points.
“It is just money.”
“Last time I earned 50 billion from William, and the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo also transferred my annual allowance of 50 billion. I do not believe I can lose 100 billion in one month. Even if I do, as long as I reach a combat power multiplier of 12, it will be worth it.”
In the final month before the deadline, Luo Feng chose large scale betting battles.
…
The next day, after returning from the wilderness area, around 8 p.m. in Jiangnan Pavilion.
“What, you want to challenge so many people?” Shi Jiang was shocked, looking at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng nodded. “Yes, senior brother. I am not very familiar with the strength of students here. I hope you can tell me who is close to my level. I want to find opponents of similar strength for betting battles.”
Shi Jiang shook his head. “You are really pushing yourself. The minimum bet in challenge battles is 10 billion yuan each time. That is not a small amount.”
“And those weaker than you will not accept your challenge. Only those confident in defeating you will accept. You will likely lose quite a lot of money.”
He continued, “However, some students are strong in monster hunting rankings but not necessarily in real combat. Others are strong in combat but do not rank highly.”
The Black Dragon ranking reflects points, so it does not perfectly represent strength.
Shi Jiang quickly compiled a list of 32 names.
“Thank you, senior brother,” Luo Feng said.
The list included students ranked roughly between 60 and 30, with a few exceptions, ranging from rank 91 to rank 21.
…
That night at 9 p.m. in Kyoto Pavilion.
“Luo Feng, why are you here? Sit,” three male students said warmly when they saw him.
“Senior brother Wang,” Luo Feng said politely. “I want to challenge you to a betting battle.”
Wang Tao, ranked 36th last month, frowned slightly. “A betting battle?”
After hearing it was only money betting and not points, he relaxed and agreed.
“Alright, I will accept. Submit the challenge request and we will fight tomorrow.”
…
On 3 July, Luo Feng and Wang Tao fought a life and death battle in a virtual tropical rainforest environment.
Luo Feng lost.
After that first defeat, he continued challenging other students.
Throughout July, he triggered a wave of challenges in the training camp. Most battles were accepted because he only bet money, not points, and usually the stakes were minimal.
From the 3rd to the 27th, he fought 36 matches, winning 17 and losing 19. Each match had a 10 billion yuan stake.
On the night of the 28th at 11 p.m.
Candice Bolinas returned to his residence.
“This Luo Feng actually rose again in ranking this month, reaching 43rd. There is less than one hour left before midnight, the ranking probably will not change,” William said as they walked back together.
Candice’s face was dark. “Do not mention that name in front of me.”
William looked at him.
Candice was clearly furious.
“I told you not to pursue Janet,” William said as he sat down. “Janet only has eyes for Luo Feng.”
“That Chinese brat,” Candice said through gritted teeth.
Over these three months, he had tried everything to win Janet’s favour, but failed every time. Janet only had eyes for her junior brother Luo Feng.
That night at the ranking board, Candice tried again to approach Janet, but was rejected again.
“Endure. Endure. Endure.”
But suddenly, footsteps sounded.
“Hm?” Both Candice and William looked up.
A figure entered the courtyard.
Candice’s expression changed.
William’s eyes widened.
“He came here?”
It was Luo Feng.
“Candice, hello,” Luo Feng said with a smile.
“Luo Feng, what are you doing here?” Candice forced a polite smile.
“I want to have a betting battle with you,” Luo Feng said calmly. “No other meaning. Just a training match. No points, only money. Minimum 10 billion yuan.”
“A betting battle?” Candice and William were stunned.
Candice suddenly realised something.
This was his chance.
He had been holding back for three months. Now this man had come to him voluntarily.
“Alright,” Candice said with a cold smile. “But 10 billion is too little. Let us bet 100 billion yuan.”
“100 billion?” Luo Feng was shocked.
William added provocatively, “Afraid?”
After a brief hesitation, Luo Feng agreed.
“Very well. As you wish.”
Candice smiled, but inside, a flame of revenge was burning.
