The body tempering tower was a pagoda used by the disciples of the Intermediate Area to temper and strengthen their own body, and it was also a special feature of the Intermediate Area.
The special characteristic of the Primary zone was the Sword Arts Palace and the special characteristic of the Intermediate Area. Of course, there were also others such as the sword forest.
However, the body tempering tower was a special existence.
Everyone knew that on the road of martial arts, although cultivation was important, the strength of the body was also very important. Some martial artists' bodies were destroyed when they fought others because they didn't have enough strength.
As long as the soul was not destroyed, even if the body was destroyed, the body could be reconstructed. But, this situation would inevitably cause a great loss to the martial artists.
Therefore, body tempering tower s of the Intermediate Area were extremely important to warriors.
The body tempering tower was built by an almighty being of the Divine Wind Sword Mansion. In the body tempering tower, there was a very strong gravity which was very suitable for warriors to strengthen their bodies.
In front of the body tempering tower, there were a few warriors observing. At this moment, there was a light dot moving quickly on top of the body tempering tower's tower.
This beam of light rapidly moved from the first level to the second level. It paused for a moment on the second level, and then entered the third level.
Just like this, time ticked by and when the speck of light stopped moving, everyone found that it had unknowingly entered the fifth floor of body tempering tower.
"Yang Yong is so powerful, I never thought he would actually enter the fifth floor of body tempering tower."
"Yang Yong is ranked in the top ten of the Intermediate Disciple. Even though he's only ranked tenth, his strength is incomparably tyrannical."
"That's right, Yang Yong being able to enter the fifth floor is within my expectations." Many disciples were discussing as they saw the speck of light stop at the fifth floor.
The body tempering tower had a total of nine floors, and each floor's gravity was different. To be able to enter the fifth floor, it was enough to see how strong Yang Yong's body was.
Fang Chen stood outside of the body tempering tower, faintly looking at the specks of light on the body of the tower, as though he was pondering about something.
After a long while, Yang Yong came out from the body tempering tower with a head full of sweat, but his face carried a blissful smile.
"Congratulations Senior Brother Yang, you have entered the fifth floor of body tempering tower." Many disciples congratulated him.
Of course, there were disciples who were preparing to enter the body tempering tower, but just as they were about to move, a figure suddenly flew past Yang Yong and directly went into the body tempering tower.
When this figure entered the body tempering tower, the gate of the body tempering tower immediately closed.
"Hmm? Damn it, you actually want to fight over the body tempering tower with me. " Some disciples said in a fierce tone, but there was nothing they could do about it.
body tempering tower only had one person to enter every time. Once they did, there was nothing they could do.
"Who exactly is this kid?" You actually dare to compete with Brother Hong for body tempering tower? " Some disciples asked.
The man called Brother Hong had a gloomy face. He stared at the light dots on the first floor of body tempering tower, his heart filled with rage.
Hong Yun was an outstanding individual in the Intermediate Area. Although he did not become one of the top ten disciples, his rank still reached the fifteenth rank.
Hong Yun's strength had reached the middle stage of the qi transformation realm, just a step away from the late stage of the qi transformation realm. Once he entered the late stage of the qi transformation realm, Hong Yun was confident that he would be able to make it into the top ten.
"Hong Yun, no need to be angry." Yang Yong grinned.
In the Intermediate Area, Yang Yong had a good relationship with Hong Yun. It was publicly accepted that the two of them had grown up together.
Although Yang Yong was trying to console Hong Yun, in his heart he was filled with resentment towards the disciple who had tried to snatch body tempering tower from Hong Yun.
Hong Yun did not speak. He just stared at body tempering tower with his eyes wide open.
At this time, as soon as Fang Chen entered the body tempering tower, he immediately felt a gravity that came from all directions. This gravity made him extremely uncomfortable.
"What a strong gravitational force?" Fang Chen exclaimed.
This was only the first level of body tempering tower, but this gravity was four times that of the outside world. One could imagine just how terrifying the gravity of body tempering tower was.
Ka-cha …
Fang Chen slightly moved his body, and suddenly, a cracking sound came out from his body, it was the sound of gravity pressing on his bones.
"Looks like I need to get used to it." Fang Chen slightly said.
Soon after, Fang Chen started to get used to the gravitational force on the first level.
In the outside world, after the disciples realized Fang Chen had entered the first floor, they had only moved slightly before they stopped moving.
Seeing the spots of light still not moving, many disciples burst out laughing.
"This kid definitely won't be able to withstand the first layer of gravity and won't be able to advance any further."
"Hmph, with this kind of strength, you actually dared to come to the body tempering tower to make a fool of yourself. You are truly courting death."
"Hahaha, I really want to see what kind of expression this brat would have if he knew that I was fighting with Brother Hong for the body tempering tower." All of the disciples had different opinions as they all mocked and ridiculed Fang Chen.
Even Yang Yong and Hong Yun revealed a look of disdain, "A mere first level gravity of the body tempering tower is not enough?"
With that, Yang Yong bid his farewells to Hong Yun and left.
If the top ten disciples of the top ten challenged the body tempering tower, he, Yang Yong, would still be worth watching, but at the moment, this kind of clown, he simply wasn't willing to waste time.
The reason why Hong Yun did not leave was because he wanted to see who exactly was it that dared to fight over the body tempering tower with him.
Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, a quarter-hour had passed.
Fifteen minutes was neither long nor short, but to Fang Chen, who was in the first level of body tempering tower, this period of time was not short either.
Hiss, hiss, hiss …
After fifteen minutes of adapting, Fang Chen's body could finally withstand the gravitational force on the first floor.
"My body's strength is enough to withstand the first layer of gravity. It's only because I just entered here and I don't know how to control my body that such a situation happens." Fang Chen muttered to himself.
After his body had completely adapted to the gravity, Fang Chen began to move.
At this time, many disciples in the outside world were staring at the body tempering tower, when they suddenly realised that the speck of light had moved.
"Look, the light is starting to move." A disciple shouted.
Suddenly, all of the disciples looked at the light.
The specks of light above the body tempering tower slowly entered the second layer from the first layer. Just when everyone thought that he would stop at the second layer, the speck of light suddenly left the second layer and entered the third layer.
"How is this possible? He can actually withstand the gravity of the second layer and directly enter the third layer? " Some disciples exclaimed.
One had to know that the gravity on the first level was four times that of the outside world, and on the second level, the gravity was eight times that.
Although it was just one fold difference from the first floor, all the disciples who had been in body tempering tower knew that this was not one plus one equals two, but one plus one is far greater than two.
Under the exclamations of countless disciples, the speck of light paused for a while on the third floor before once again entering the fourth floor.
When the light spot entered the fourth layer, it finally stopped moving.
Crash …
The entire plaza was in an uproar, all the disciples were thoroughly shocked.
Within the Intermediate Area, there were only a handful of disciples who could enter the fourth floor of body tempering tower, but who would have thought that the disciple they mocked had actually entered the fourth floor.
At this moment, Hong Yun was clenching his fists tightly, a complex expression on his face.
Inside the body tempering tower, Fang Chen did not know how much of a shock his actions had brought to the outside world.
In the fourth floor, the gravity was thirty-two times that of the outside world. Fang Chen felt as if his entire body was being squeezed by gravity, as if it was about to explode.
If not for the golden heart constantly emitting an invisible energy to strengthen Fang Chen's body, he would have already exploded due to the fourth layer of gravity.
"Looks like with my current strength, I can only enter the fourth level." Fang Chen said with a grin.
In the Divine Wind Sword Mansion, there was a separate ranking for the toughness of the body. Of course, this ranking only applied to the body tempering tower s.
Golden Body, Silver Body, Copper Body, Iron Body, these were the four levels.
As long as one was able to adapt to the gravity of the first level, one's physical body would be able to reach the metal body level. If one was able to enter the fourth level, one's physical body would be able to reach the copper body level.
"At my current physical body level, I should be a Copper Body." Fang Chen slightly said.
In the history of the Divine Wind Sword Mansion, those who had reached the Golden Body Realm could be counted on one hand, but those who had reached the Golden Body Realm could already shake the world.
In the current stage of Intermediate Area, only the top three ranked disciples would have the ability to enter the seventh floor.
As for Yang Yong, who was in the body tempering tower just now, although she had broken through to the fifth floor, his fleshly body was still at the bronze level.
However, even if it was the same bronze body, it was also because Yang Yong was able to reach the fifth floor. And Fang Chen had only reached the fourth floor, so Yang Yong's bronze body was a little stronger than Fang Chen's bronze body.
On the fourth floor, Fang Chen felt an unprecedented pressure. After trying his best to resist for a moment, he finally couldn't withstand the gravity and left the body tempering tower.
Crash …
When Fang Chen appeared outside of body tempering tower, all the disciples turned to look at him.
"It's Fang Chen." Suddenly, a disciple called out, as he recognized Fang Chen.
Hearing the two words "Fang Chen," Hong Yun's face also revealed a trace of a strange smile.
"Boy, you are Fang Chen?" Hong Yun took a step forward, walked in front of Fang Chen, and asked coldly.
"That's right, I am Fang Chen."
"Why are you snatching body tempering tower from me? Do you know that stealing someone's body tempering tower time is an extremely annoying thing to do? " Hong Yun said.
Fang Chen recognized Hong Yun and knew that the latter was a disciple who was ranked fifteenth in Intermediate Area.
I am free to enter and exit as I please. If I want to exit as I please, can you still stop me? Fang Chen asked.
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Hong Yun became even more furious.
"Brat, do you know that before you came to the body tempering tower, I wanted to go in after Brother Yong came out. I didn't expect that you would beat me to it." Hong Yun said.
Fang Chen did not speak, and frowned slightly.
"Hmph, do you think it's that impressive just because you entered the fourth level of body tempering tower?" Hong Yun sneered.
Fang Chen no longer bothered with Hong Yun and turned to leave.
"Fang Chen, after offending me, Hong Yun, it will be difficult for you to take even a single step in Intermediate Area." Hong Yun said.
