From MC's perspective:
"What the fu#k?" I uttered in surprise. As I had guessed before, the malicious aura is useful. The blood element method is absorbing the malicious aura around me.
Then after taking a deep breath. I sat cross-legged on the ground and started to run the blood element method.
When I ran the blood element method. The bloody rune in my consciousness started to flicker. The next moment, a heavy malicious aura rushed towards me.
I calmed down my mind and began to absorb the aura slowly. I want to see what changes are going to take place inside my body.
But right after, the blood element inside my body got triggered. The hazy red light came out from the bloodstream and started to swallow the malicious energies.
Seeing that my eyes gleamed with a twinkle. But the next process is going to be painful. When I'm looking forward to energy conversion. I see a sudden change in the process.
The red blood light didn't convert the aura into white energy. Instead, it completely swallowed up the malicious aura.
A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. What is going to happen next? I continued to observe the changes. As time went on, I spotted the minute changes.
The blood red light starts to increase in size and become a lot thicker. Seeing that look of understanding dawned upon me. The blood light feeds on the malicious aura and then grows slowly.
A higher concentration of red light will help to convert the energy more. To verify it, I stopped absorbing the malicious aura.
I opened my eyes and took out two Class-4 Monster Cores from the storage ring. I held it in my both palms and started to run the blood element method.
Rumble!
I slowly began to absorb the energy from the monster's core. But at the same time, a small amount of malicious aura seeped into my body.
Two processes are currently happening at the same time.
Seeing that I carefully continued the process. When the monster core's energy entered my body. They got quickly swallowed up by the blood-red light. Then the blood-red light converts the energies into white energies.
Seeing that I braced up for the upcoming pain. When the white energies drilled into my bones. The next second, I felt the heart-wrenching pain.
Even after reaching the Mid-Elite in body strength. The pain doesn't seem to reduce at all. I gritted my teeth and continued to repeat the process.
Slowly the red-marked area in my bones starts to spread further.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
After two hours, the monster core in my palms crumbles into pieces. At the same time, the red light also increased in quantity due to the presence of a malicious aura.
"Phew," I sighed in relief. As I guessed before, cultivating here is more useful. The blood red light increases the monster core absorption rate.
If I continue to practice here then it will be a matter of time before I reach the Peak Elite in body strength.
Meanwhile,
Dean Rebecca is already aware of Zack's whereabouts. That's why she is not worried about him. So her current focus is entirely on the annual meet.
The lack of resources in the academy is currently eating her up. With the current resources, the academy may sustain itself for at least five years. But beyond that, there is no hope.
After contemplation, she let out a deep sigh. Now she can only rest her hopes on the young warriors. If they perform well in the annual meet, they can avoid hitting the bottom.
Beep!
When she was lost in her thoughts. She receives a request from Vice-dean to enter.
Seeing that she collected her thoughts and gave permission.
Creak!
After opening the door, Franklin walks inside.
After greeting dean Rebecca, he immediately commented on recent happenings.
"Dean, why don't we conduct an internal competition?" Franklin asked.
"Internal competition?" Rebecca raised her eyebrows.
She shook his head and replied, "It's too early to decide on that. Most of the top warriors are in retreat. So we can talk about this next month."
Franklin is disappointed but he understands the meaning behind her words. Any competition without the top warrior is a waste of time.
Meanwhile,
I ended my cultivation inside the small ruin. And it's time to go back. I got up from the ground and surveyed the surroundings.
After making sure everything was fine, I walked back to the teleportation point.
A few minutes later,
I appeared back in the teleportation tower. Then without wasting any time, I returned to my dorm. I already decided what to do next.
There are many facilities in the academy. Which I have yet to access. For example, there is an Advanced Gravity Chamber built inside the campus.
It's many times more powerful than the one in Hansen Campus.
Several minutes later,
I changed into new clothes after taking a bath. Then I opened the map to view the location. The gravity chamber facility is located in the 2nd castle building.
After walking out of the dorm, I head straight toward the 2nd castle building. On the way, my appearance attracted a lot of attention.
Seeing the flame faction members, my mouth twitched. I already become a well-known person among the flame faction members.
So after seeing me, people started to talk in a hushed voice. Then ignoring their gazes, I walked inside the 2nd building. The Gravity Chamber is located in an underground facility.
I walk toward the facility. Unlike the 1st castle building, there are a lot of people here. My appearance immediately attracted attention. People want to see what I'm going to do.
Shaking my head, I used the lift to reach the destination.
After a few seconds, I reached the underground. The underground is nothing different from any other floor.
In front of me, there are many Gravity Chambers. Some of them were active. Then I immediately walk toward the nearest one.
The interface is more advanced. But the identification process remains the same. After entering the name and other information, the room opened suddenly.
Rumble!
The gravity chamber opened slowly. Seeing that I entered inside. The door behind me closed automatically.
Then I looked around and saw the room was more spacious than I had imagined. I quickly found the interface again. I can manually set the gravity setting.
So without wasting any more time, I set the settings to normal mode. I don't know the exact pressure of the normal mode here.
So I decided to start from the normal mode.
Right after the election, the gravity chamber turned on. I stood in the middle of the room to withstand the pressure.
After a couple of seconds, I slowly felt the heat of the pressure. In normal mode, the gravity seems to weigh more than 10,000 kgs.
Only the Elite Warrior and above can withstand such pressure. Since I'm Mid-Elite in body strength. I find it easy to withstand the gravity pressure as time goes on.
But unfortunately with this normal mode. I wasn't able to notice the changes in my body. Suddenly, an idea strikes my mind.
For a long time, I've been curious about the red-marked area of my bones. I believe it's some kind of power. But I don't know how to use it directly.
Besides, I want to check whether the red-marked area of my bone has improved further or not.
So I went to change the settings again. This time, I set the gravity to 2X mode.
Right after the pressure was doubled. I instantly felt the gravity pressure over 20,000 kgs. The high pressure instantly made the muscle fibers stretch further.
This caused agonizing pain. But I gritted my teeth and continued to endure it. The bones appeared to be a lot sturdier than I thought.
Time passes in a blink of an eye,
Outside, a lot of warriors gathered outside the gravity chamber. They knew inside one of the chambers Zack Lockwood is training.
But unfortunately, they don't know which gravity room it is. So everyone is keeping an eye on the locked gravity room.
As time passed, people started to exit and get inside the gravity chamber. But none of them were Zack Lockwood.
But people waiting outside were finally able to screen out the rooms. In the end, only one room remained closed.
"I'm sure he is using this room," One of the flame faction members said in a cold tone.
"Don't know how strong he is?" Another warrior commented.
"I think he must be practicing under 5X mode," Gale Faction Warrior said.
"Tck! 5X mode, only Super Elite Warrior is capable of handling that pressure." Another warrior refuted immediately.
Likewise, people started to gossip. As the crowd started to gather, it immediately blocked the entrance.
Such a scene quickly caught the attention of online users. A few Flame Faction Warriors started to post about the situation.
Already there are a lot of people who wanted to know about Zack Lockwood. So this news quickly caught the attention of interested people.
