Chapter 30

Mu Fan’s body froze again, and he felt like his two feet were sucked onto the ground as he needed to exert more force to lift his feet up.

Yes, it’s this kind of feeling! The feeling of energy burning within the body! All the food that he had eaten was converted into energy and was burned by the cells, and he could feel endless energy coming from all over his body.

He could hear the sound of his bones rubbing against each other when he tightened his muscles as he exerted force.

Bam! Bam! Bam! The white rubber bullets came at Mu Fan, and he was as quick as a leopard, dodging all of them. A total of 12 bullets were shot out every round in this level-35 gravitational room, and his dodging paths were blocked by the incoming bullets from every direction.

The hair on Mu Fan’s forehead swung back and forth with his movement, and his sweat flew into the air, forming an arc.

He moved so fast that he turned into a shadow as he squatted and leaped upwards while using the wall as support.

Air-piecing noise is coming from the right! Mu Fan’s body twisted in mid-air as his right hand reached out like a lightning bolt and grasped the rubber bullet that flew in front of his eyes.

Then, he landed on both hands. Like a compressed spring that was released in an instant, he pushed himself into the air and used his feet to stomp two rubber bullets onto the wall, drawing two arcs in the air. Then, he launched his body across the room again.

He was like a grey lightning bolt, speeding across the enclosed room in all directions.

Bam! Bam!

Damn! Two rubber bullets hit the wall and rolled on the ground. Mu Fan missed these two. Out of all 12 bullets aimed at him in this round, he grabbed onto nine of them.

If I can’t strike all of them down, then let’s see how long I can dodge with higher gravitational force! Mu Fan was panting louder, and he felt like his chest was burning up, making his breath hotter.

A tint of rose-red flashed in his eyes.

Level-38!

3.8X gravitational force!

Fifteen rubber bullets were shot out!

The speed of the bullets increased by 15%!

The white bullets left many afterimages in the air and formed a net!

However, Mu Fan’s movements seemed even more agile than before! Be fierce like a tiger and agile like a leopard! Don’t get hit, don’t get hit.

Mu Fan gave up trying to chase after those bullets, and he could feel his stamina depleting under the immense gravitational force.

He started to purposely save energy and wasn’t using all his force to strike down the bullets, nor was he as ferocious as before.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Chubby Harry, who was in the front, couldn’t hear the nonstop noises of bullets hitting the wall, nor could he see the afterimages left by Mu Fan’s movements.

This time, the fifteen bullets lined up closely in a formation and came towards Mu Fan. Mu Fan realized that he couldn’t shift his body slightly to dodge them like before, so he leaped and ran diagonally upwards on the wall.

Drrrrrrr! It was the sound of bullets hitting the wall right behind Mu Fan.

His strong legs and fast reactions allowed him to dodge this round of bullets.

“Hu, hu!” Mu Fan felt like the energy he used in this training session so far was more than the amount he used in the last two days combined.

He needed to use more strength to allow his lungs to respirate more effectively. His heart needed to contract harder to circulate blood throughout his body faster, and he had to force himself to focus during every round of attacks.

In the fifth round, the fifteen bullets all missed again.

“Level-40!” Mu Fan shouted.

He didn’t add three levels like before as level-40 was the threshold between the lobby and VIP areas. He could feel that he was reaching the limit as his body felt heavier and heavier.

“Argh!” Mu Fan’s muscles contracted again under the immense gravitational force, but the 17 bullets charged at him at an even faster speed this time, not giving him a break at all!

Bam! Bam! Bam! This was different from before as the bullets seemed like they were shot out from an automatic machine gun. One second! It was a short break between the bullets when Mu Fan’s acute senses picked up the slight pause. Only one second of resting time was not even enough for people to stop and think.

Multiple white bullets came down at him like a dense net, blocking almost all of Mu Fan’s dodge routes.

He suddenly noticed that there was an opening each to his left and right.

Left! Without hesitation, Mu Fan leaped to the left. This time, he felt that his muscles had used all of their strength. Mu Fan almost made it; he was only a little distance away.

Pia! A rubber bullet hit one of Mu Fan’s calf, reddening his skin and causing it to swell in an instant.

His movement rhythm was interrupted by that one shot, and a rain of bullets landed on him as he rolled away while protecting his head.

Pia! Pia! Pia! His back was burning with pain, but he was more upset with himself about not overcoming level-40.

“Player has been hit ten times. Training session terminated.” With the sound of a vibration, the lights on the ground that were lightning up and diming down slowed down their frequencies, and the central white light of the room turned on.

“Gravitational force decreasing, 40… 35… 30…”

Mu Fan curled up on the ground and felt his body becoming lighter as if a huge rock had been lifted off his chest. He exhaled as he was disappointed by the fact that his ability was only enough for the lobby-level training.

“You’re giving up already?” a mischievous voice sounded in the room.

“Black Egg!” Mu Fan immediately recognized the voice.

“Please call me Lord Black! You are Lord Egg! Please don’t call your own name when you’re calling me.” Black’s voice came from the speaker in the room.

Mu Fan’s mood somehow lightened up a bit after Black’s tease.

He stood up to stretch as he thought, this training room is pretty intense.

The security camera in the room pointed towards Mu Fan, and Black’s laughter came through the speakers once again. “Hahaha, Mu Fan. I’ve hacked this Budokan’s system already and erased the recordings for your training session just now. Oh, by the way, there’s something I forgot to tell you. Usually, there’s no rubber bullet training before level-40; that’s only for VIP rooms from level-40 to level-80.”

Black paused a bit and sounded happy as it said, “So, don’t feel upset, young man!”

If Black was this gravitational room itself, Mu Fan believed that he would have torn this room apart.

Black’s mischievous laughter went on for a bit longer before he said, “Mu Fan, did you feel any discomfort under the high gravitational force environment?”

“No.” Mu Fan was starting to understand what Black was trying to get at.

“How did you feel? Describe it in detail; I need the information for analysis,” Black continued to ask.

“Even though my body felt heavy, I didn’t feel much difference compared to before when I was dodging the bullets.”

“Did hypoxia, a lack of oxygen to your brain, cause your vision to turn black at level-32?” Black raised a question.

“No.” Mu Fan thought for a moment and replied was certainty.

“Your bloodline, um… Based on the current information and genetic factors, one of your parents must have come from a planet with high gravitational force and carried a special genetic factor within their DNA. Using the genetic inheritance equation, I did the reduction and found that your ancestors must have come from a planet that has 3.47X gravitational force. Such a planet isn’t within the database of Planet Loga or even the databases of other planets within 10 light years. Therefore, I will need you to help me sync with the interstellar network to search beyond on planets further away. Keep working at it, boy!”

“I’m going back to surfing through this planet’s network. This world is quite interesting. Don’t forget to keep my physical carrier hidden when you go back. It will be of use, and I’ll contact you when I need it.”

Black’s voice then disappeared.

“Oh, by the way, I left a backdoor in this room’s authorization. Whenever you enter, rubber bullets mode will be on by default.” Five seconds later, Black’s voice sounded from the speakers on the wall again.

Mu Fan was speechless. Is this free-range parenting? It does save the trouble, but at least leave a contact method. How am I supposed to find it when I need it?

Black seemed to get more unreliable after entering the network.

Mu Fan felt like he should start to get used to Black’s unreliableness and mysteriousness.

Exercising does feel good. It’s almost time; I should go and wait for Chubby Harry now. Mu Fan thought as he stretched.

Ouch, that hurts.
