C14 Su Xiaoyu's Training

Lin Luo cleared his throat and stepped in front of Su Xiaoyu, inquiring, "Xiaoyu, what kind of movement are you practicing?"

Su Xiaoyu was puzzled. "The President was gone for less than two hours; how could he be back already?" she wondered.

Setting down her shield, Su Xiaoyu admitted somewhat sheepishly, "I lack a Spiritual Sea, so becoming a Psionic Warrior is out of reach for me. However, my instructor from the Warrior Faculty emphasized that these fundamentals are crucial for the Warrior Profession, and I shouldn't abandon them."

Lin Luo found himself at a loss for words. "What good does practicing these do?" he pondered.

He turned to Su Xiaoyu and said, "Forget these exercises. From now on, you're training with me."

Together, they made their way to the Gravity Training Room, where Lin Luo set the gravity to double strength. "Starting now, your training begins here," he declared.

"But President, isn't the Gravity Training Room meant for cultivating Spiritual Energy? I don't possess any," Su Xiaoyu pointed out.

"Who ever said that those without Spiritual Energy can't use the Gravity Training Room?" Lin Luo replied, a hint of annoyance in his voice. "From this moment forward, you'll train here using the technique I show you. Pay attention; I'll only demonstrate it once."

He proceeded with the exercises: push-ups, sit-ups, squats, and lateral jumps. Lin Luo's regimen might have been considered old-fashioned, but it was undeniably effective for building physical strength—certainly more so than the teachings from the Warrior Faculty.

"See that? This is my secret weapon, my exclusive technique. Stick with this training, and you're guaranteed to grow stronger," Lin Luo said, clapping his hands together.

Su Xiaoyu was taken aback. "The President's routine seems too simplistic," she mused.

Yet, Su Xiaoyu was confident that her robust physique would allow her to perform the exercises with ease. She began her training in the Gravity Room, starting with push-ups. Lying down, she placed her hands on the ground, feet apart.

"This is quite easy," she thought to herself.

Ten minutes in, however, Su Xiaoyu's entire body began to shake, her muscles quivering as if weighed down by lead.

Simple movements became a Herculean task for Su Xiaoyu, demanding every ounce of his strength to complete. Eventually, he reached his limit and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. In that moment, the techniques President Lin Luo had imparted to him took on an invaluable significance. Despite his robust constitution, Su Xiaoyu could only endure for a mere ten minutes.

Deeply moved, Su Xiaoyu realized the gravity of Lin Luo's gesture in sharing his secret skills with him. A firm resolve took hold of Su Xiaoyu as he thought, "I absolutely must not let President Lin Luo down. I cannot give up."

Observing Su Xiaoyu's diligent training, Lin Luo's lips curled into an encouraging smile. "Once you can withstand the fivefold gravity chamber for thirty minutes, I'll entrust you with the ultimate Class S forbidden technique," he said. "Master it, and you'll easily overpower any Class C Psionic Warrior, and even take on those from Class B."

Lin Luo's intention was clear: to unlock Su Xiaoyu's latent potential. The prerequisites for learning the Eight Inner Hidden Gates were stringent: one must rely on sheer physical strength for intense training and endure a grueling half-hour in the Five Times Gravity Room.

These were the bare minimum conditions to qualify for learning the Eight Inner Hidden Gates. Should Su Xiaoyu fall short, Lin Luo would withhold the technique. For those of insufficient physical fortitude, invoking the Eight Inner Hidden Gates could inflict catastrophic, irreversible harm upon their bodies—a risk Lin Luo would not take with Su Xiaoyu.

Lin Luo harbored no doubts about Su Xiaoyu's capabilities. The ultimate move, the Class S forbidden technique, had the power to dominate any Class C adversary and challenge those from Class B.

A surge of adrenaline coursed through Su Xiaoyu as he felt his blood boil with anticipation. His inner strength bubbled up incessantly. "All I need is to endure for thirty minutes in the Five Times Gravity Room," he reminded himself. "Keep pushing," he silently urged.

With a few final pieces of advice, Lin Luo exited the Two Times Gravity Room and stretched his limbs before entering the Ten Times Gravity Room. The benefits he had reaped the day before were clear: training under tenfold gravity could accelerate the fusion of the Intercolumnar Cells.

Lin Luo felt a surge of quiet elation.

"I've got some free time on my hands; might as well get in a little training," Lin Luo mused to himself.

He swung open the door to the gravity chamber, which was set to tenfold the normal force, and to his surprise, there was already someone there.

Upon encountering each other, Lin Luo and the individual inside both paused, taken aback.
