Chapter 180: Fusion Rate 15 (Requesting Monthly Votes)
Lin Qi stared at the massive structure before him—the Gravity Chamber.
This colossal silver metal sphere stood imposingly upon the earth, its surface covered in countless raised square patterns like interlocking modules. The special high-strength alloy gleamed under sunlight, radiating a cold metallic luster.
Known officially as the Gravity Sphere, most people simply called it the Gravity Chamber. Standing there, Lin Qi felt an overwhelming pressure, as if the building itself could crush the ground beneath it.
"Let’s go, Brother Qi!" Jiang Tao urged.
Lin Qi nodded, leading the way as Jiang Tao followed into the structure. The entrance was guarded only by a stone-like robotic sentinel, allowing entry without scans. The first floor was a vast hall with a floating three-meter-wide black metallic orb at its center, resembling a polished gemstone. Rows of seats surrounded it, where weary martial artists chatted while resting.
"Brother Qi, we already reserved our session via the app. We can go straight up", Jiang Tao said. They entered an elevator, stopping at the third floor.
"I’ll head off first!" Jiang Tao called, then added, "Remember to remove your Gravity Ring when using the Chamber—otherwise, it’ll interfere with your training!"
"Got it", Lin Qi replied, turning down another corridor.
The hallway, constructed from thick white alloy, led to chambers with black steel doors. Electronic screens required fingerprint, iris, and QR code verification. A beep sounded as the 301 Chamber’s heavy door slid open.
The room was spacious, around a hundred square meters, with silver alloy walls and black padded flooring. A large screen beside the door displayed time and functions. Xiaochan, the blue-robed AI assistant, materialized as a hologram.
"Master, I’ve connected to the Chamber’s system. You can adjust gravity settings directly", Xiaochan announced.
"Good", Lin Qi praised.
"This is the Gravity Chamber introduction video."
The air shimmered with a projection of a girl in red-and-white school uniform standing inside a Gravity Chamber.
"Using gravity technology, this Chamber simulates intense pressure, accelerating physical evolution. While traditional training struggles to engage every muscle and organ, gravity permeates every corner of our being", she explained.
Lin Qi nodded. While the Gravity Ring strengthened his limbs, the Chamber would challenge his entire body—muscles, bones, organs, even cells.
"In the Gravity Chamber, your body undergoes comprehensive cultivation, enhancing control over both physique and weapons. It’s an ideal environment for boosting Vital Energy Stat and Martial Arts proficiency", the woman concluded. The video vanished, replaced by Xiaochan.
"Your Vital Energy Stat exceeds 30. I recommend starting with 2x gravity for adaptation."
Lin Qi swapped his uniform for a Martial Arts Uniform, removing his Gravity Ring and placing it in a black metal cabinet. He gripped his Thunderhorn Longspear, steadying himself.
"Activate 2x gravity", he ordered.
The room vibrated as invisible force enveloped him. His body instantly felt twice as heavy; even breathing strained his lungs. The Thunderhorn, weighing 200 jin (about 100 kg) now, pressed his arms.
Adjusting his breath, he began practicing spear techniques. His movements, once fluid, slowed drastically.
"Increase to 3x", he commanded.
The screen updated. The weight tripled, his heartbeat thundering in his ears. Blood rushed through leaden limbs, yet exhilaration lit his eyes.
"Pushing my limits awakens my potential!" he roared.
Veins bulged as he swung the spear, each strike slowed by gravity’s resistance. Vital Force circulation lagged, energy draining rapidly.
After two hours, sweat soaked him. Downing an Energy Brew, he resumed.
Finally, the gravity lifted.

Chugging three Energy Brews, Lin Qi crushed the empty bottles. "The Chamber’s effect is incredible—speeding growth multiple times. Even my Fusion Rate increased. Every effort counts."
Exhaustion crashed over him, limbs trembling. The Chamber’s downside—extreme stamina depletion—was clear. He gathered his things, heading to the shower.
Meanwhile, in Azure Firmament Nine Courtyards’ villa, Ao Feng—his delicate features resembling a girl’s—opened his eyes.
"Half a month, and I’m still struggling with the Lotus Mindfulness Method", he muttered. "I’ve boosted Spiritual Power with elixirs, yet progress stalls. Could even the strongest innate talent require a month?" His confidence returned. "No one surpasses me. I’ll master it first."
In another villa, Huo Wanyang stood, his two-meter frame rippling with muscle.
"My Body Constitution and Divine Strength are legendary", he mused, "but spiritual cultivation lagged. I delayed training to perfect Starmind Meditation. Now—no more weaknesses. I’ll dominate this generation."
Two days later, Lin Qi stood in his villa’s training hall, spear still in hand.
