Chapter 39 - Continuous Training

When Cale got inside the Gravity Training Room, he received another prompt.

- Time inside the Gravity Training Room is three times faster than the outside world.

Cale was very happy upon learning this feature and he excitedly proceeded with his training. 

After more than thirty minutes, he suddenly heard someone call his name.

"Brogen?" He sounded confused, but then he remembered that he told Daphne to call Brogen and Santharus.

He exited the Gravity Training Room by clicking the exit tab.

- You exited the Virtual Training Environment.

His vision warped for a brief second before it returned back to normal.

"What a nauseating feeling." He muttered softly while shaking his head.

He opened the door and told Brogen and Santharus to guard the room. He also told them that he must not be disturbed unless something important happened.

Cale then went back inside the Gravity Training Room to continue his training.

He felt nauseous at the sudden warping of his sight, but the good thing was that it only lasted for a brief second or he might have vomited.

Inside the Gravity Training Room, Cale could barely make one hundred push ups because of the three times heavier gravity. He then did one hundred sit ups, one hudred squats and other basic exercises.

"I ne..need wa..water." Cale was breathing heavily after finishing his basic exercises.

- Ding!

- A glass of Heavenly Spring Water costs 10000 Black Coins.

The sudden prompt surprised Cale and the price for a glass of water made his eyeballs almost pop out of their sockets.

* Heavenly Spring Water

- A rare kind of water that is excreted by an Immortal-Class plant Heavenly Wind Grass. The Heavenly Wind Grass excretes small amounts of crystal clear water every year. The water it excretes provides a strengthening effect and erases all fatigue on the body upon consumption.

"What a treasure!" Cale instantly clicked the "Buy" button, and a glass of crystal clear water emerged after a flash of bright light and it slowly floated in front of Cale.

He quickly took the glass and gulped it down ravenously as he was truly too thirsty after the heavy exercises he did.

The moment the water entered Cale's body, he felt a sudden increase in his strength and the fatigue he felt from earlier was gone. The Heavenly Spring Water left a sweet aftertaste on his tongue making him want for more, but he instantly erased that thought after recalling the price for one glass.

Cale stood up and resumed his intense exercise. He did not feel tired at all even after more than one hour of continuous physical training inside the Gravity Training Room with three times heavier than the normal gravity, but he felt hungry after the intense training and thought that since water was available in the training room, then food should be available as well.

- Ding!

- Food!

* Fried Lightning Sparrow

- 50000 Black Coins

- A Lightning Sparrow is a type of bird that is bred in the Heavenly Realm. This bird might be a common sight in that world, but it is delicacy that can only be enjoyed by immortals as the bird was at least Emperor-Class in strength.

* Barbecued Armored Boar Meat

- 60000 Black Coins

- An Armored Boar is an Emperor-Class beast with thick armor-like scales. But the meat behind those tough scales is a rare delicacy.

"Looks like my one hundred billion Black Coins will be gone in less than a year." Cale smiled bitterly, but he still bought the Barbecued Armored Boar.

A frangrant aroma traveled on Cale's nose, making him look at the plate of Barbecued Armored Boar with a greedy eyes. 

He took a big bite out of the barbecue and the soft and tender meat slowly melted on his taste buds. The juicy texture of the meat made it a lot more exciting to eat.

A strange energy traveled inside Cale's body and strengthened his physicality. Aside from its wonderful taste, the barbecue also boasted tremendous strengthening effect on his body.

Cale thought about it and he suddenly grew curious at the origin of "The Black Market". It came with him when he reincarnated back in time, but he didn't know how it happened or how it came back with him.

"Oh well. I will eventually uncover the truth about this. Maybe if I upgrade my Authority Level on its final stages, I will get an answer for these questions."

Cale cleared his thoughts and just focused on his training. He did not go out of the Gravity Training Room for ten days, but only three days have passed in the outside world.

Cale only took a rest when he slept inside the Gravity Training Room and used the rest of the time training.

Brogen and Santharus grew worried because Cale did not leave his room for three days straight, but they just silently waited for Cale amidst their worry.

Cale thought for a moment and exited the Virtual Training Environment. He opened the door and informed Brogen and Santharus to not worry about him. 

Brogen felt an unfamiliar sensation fron Cale and he felt the latter's growth in strength, but he stayed silent and thought that it must be "that thing" that help Cale improve his strength.

Brogen suddenluly felt a stinging sensation on his head and he quickly clutched his it with both hands.

"What happened Brogen? Are you okay?" Cale's handsome face was full of worry as this was the first time he saw Brogen acting this way.

Brogen shook his head and glanced at Cale with a weak smile. "It's nothing my lord. I just felt tired suddenly." 

Santharus glanced at Brogen and sighed inwardly. 'Barbarian Emperor, when will you forget those events? Countless millenia have passed and our world does not existany more.'

Cale patted Brogen's shoulder and told him to rest. Brogen bowed his head slightly and left.

"Santharus, if you are tired, you may take a rest as well. But make sure to call someone else to guard my room. And also, don't allow anyone to disturb me, unless it is something important." 

Santharus bowed his head slightly while glancing at Cale reverently. "Yes my lord."
