Chapter 157: Chapter 155: Liaison Officer of the Investigation Bureau (Vote for Monthly Tickets)

Shui Ze training base was still under construction, bustling like a scene set ablaze.

Trainees were busy everywhere, and occasionally, one could see Awakeners scaling walls and spitting fire or water, but no one made much of a fuss.

They were all used to it.

Even the ordinary trainees could be seen swiftly walking while dragging large trees behind them, and day by day, one could clearly feel themselves growing stronger.

The feeling of growing stronger was so wonderful.

“Rat, come over and give me a hand, these training equipment are unexpectedly heavy.”

In the distance,

the entrance to the Secret Realm had been relocated in front of a smooth, shining cliffside that appeared to have been cleaved by a blade.

It seemed that it wasn't just an appearance—instructor Black Blade, during a training session, had swung his sword so vigorously that he ended up giving the cliffside a “haircut”.

Such was the might of instructor Black Blade.

He ran over.

The one calling him was ‘Luo Feiyu', a fellow brother who joined the organization with him, not from the same batch of new members, but their induction time was the same.

Whenever this topic came up, Brother Luo would express his envy and jealousy, eventually conceding with a sigh, “You lad have the bearing of a great one.”

Well, wasn't that true—Sun Hao thought the same of himself.

From the beginning of the training to officially joining the organization, it only took him a few days. Compared with the ‘veterans' from the earlier batches, he was truly a genius among geniuses.

A prominent figure through and through.

Of course, he had just Awakened, so he had to obediently move bricks for now.

Earning contribution points, after all, was not embarrassing, and as a Flame Warrior, it was everyone's responsibility to help build the training base.

“Here I come, what are these equipment for?”

“I heard these are the organization's latest model of testing devices, planning to be installed at facilities four and five.”

Luo Feiyu patted the pitch-black case beside him, “This is one of the components. Despite it being only as big as a 24-inch suitcase, it's surprisingly heavy when you lift it. Heavier than you'd expect.”

Brother Luo originally had one in each hand, but couldn't hold on any longer, his complexion turning red as he needed to take a break.

Sun Hao quickly moved forward to lift one. It took quite an effort, and he indeed found it very heavy.

He had no choice but to switch from lifting to embracing it.

“Really too heavy. We are Awakeners after all, and even ourselves specialize in physical prowess.”

He examined the black case in front of him, but couldn't make anything out of it, “This is a part of a testing device? Is it like those punching machines we used before?”

They were still using the punching machines.

They could endure a very high limit, extremely resistant, and it's said that even second-awakening veterans specializing in physical prowess couldn't make the punching target move more than a little bit, and they're far from reaching the machine's resistance limit.

But punching machines have already been installed in abundance, and the equipment is mainly for measuring one's improvement—no one stands in front of a punching machine and punches away all day every day.

“It's not a punching machine.”

Luo Feiyu chuckled, “As you know, punching machines can only measure punching power, or at most kicking power, but they only really measure strength.”

“Isn't strength enough? We also have devices for measuring speed, reflexes, and agility, right?”

“We do, but don't forget those spirit-focused old irons.”

Those who mainly enhanced their spirit after Awakening. Their physical strength might not be much stronger than that of the unawakened trainees, and many don't even like using punching machines.

For a simple reason,

Our strength is not in physical power… the testing device doesn't reflect that, nor does it reflect speed or evasion abilities.

These devices overshadow those focused on spirit!

“But this new type of tester, they say, measures ‘attack strength'. Raw power can be measured, weapon strikes can be measured, and even Awakened abilities and skill usage can be quantified.”

“It's called an Ability Testing Device!”

“What's primarily tested is the extent of one's Awakened abilities and skills when fully unleashed, and it's said that even support abilities can be detected.”

A youth styled in an artsy fashion passed by and couldn't help but nod, “That's right, that's right. Finally, it's our turn for the mages to rise… Damn, this is too heavy, someone come help me move this.”

Sun Hao: “…”

They carried the components to a small truck and followed it to the number four facility.

There, construction and installation were underway with a clanging din.

The person in charge was Long Junji from the forging department, directing a group of trainees in installation. Sun Hao wanted to observe and try his hand at it, but ended up being whisked away to the next work site by mechanical prompt tones that popped up in his mind.

Once again, it was transporting and installing training equipment.

“Do we really need so much of it?”

“I heard a large batch of new people will arrive tomorrow, including Awakeners from the civilian population, who will also undergo trainee training and assessments.”

The well-informed Brother Luo Feiyu said.

The assisting trainees were somewhat astonished, “Even Awakeners?” They did not envy the Awakeners from outside but only ones like Sun Hao who passed the assessment to join.

But they were still shocked.

Awakeners were rare outside, and yet they would be training and undergoing assessments with them.

“Our organization is indeed powerful.”

“Wait, if Awakeners are also trainees, doesn't that increase the competitive pressure?”

“Damn! Finish moving the bricks and hurry to train.”

The trainees were wound up like clockwork. Sun Hao, meanwhile, let out a long sigh.

He had joined just yesterday, and fortunately so. Otherwise, he'd be under increased pressure, just like the rest. Still, it was impossible to relax.

He had joined and Awakened, and soon he would be assigned on external missions.

He would have to confront Mysterious Evil.

He would have to fight against the members of the Heretical Cult.

He would have to maintain the peace of the city, and perhaps even the world.

We can't disgrace Ember, time to train, let's get to training.

“Bro Luo, aside from these testers, are there other new training equipment?”

“There are, I saw them bring out more than a dozen ‘Training Wooden Dummies' this morning, and the commotion over at the north seemed like…”

When they arrived at the newly cleared northern area, both men were stunned.

They vaguely remembered that just yesterday, this place was rough mountainous woodland, the trees were being felled, the land flattened, but now…

A massive, hemispherical black structure stood there.

Its footprint was immense, larger than a major sports arena; the entire structure appeared to be entirely enclosed, resembling a giant beast covered in black scales, lying prone among these mountains and forests. The sunlight fell upon it, reflecting a glittering light.

Sun Hao was dumbfounded.

He was not alone; many other cadets and official members of Ember, who passed by here, were equally transfixed.

“This place was only cleared out yesterday, right?”

“Let me correct that; when I passed by here an hour ago, there was nothing at all, I just heard that this area was temporarily closed, and the next thing, it became like this.”

“Hiss—”

In one night, no, in a matter of hours, a magnificent building was erected—what kind of capability was this?

They were astonished.

They were fervent.

Gradually, people also noticed the characters ‘Gravity Field' etched on the stele in front of the half-open gate of the black structure.

“Gravity Field?”

“Could this be that legendary gravity training field?”

This was not unfamiliar to them; many movies, anime, and novels mentioned it—by training in an environment with multiple times Earth's gravity, physical fitness could sky-rocket.

Instructors, we also want to undergo gravity training!

Some cadets tried to approach, but their cadet smart devices soon rang with a prompt, “Cadet Number #1268, you have been detected as not an Awakener, and your physical attribute value is too low to enter the Gravity Field.”

Someone took out their cadet smart device and scanned the building before them.

Beep.

Detailed information popped up.

“You need at least 2 units of physique to gain entry, and furthermore, using the Gravity Field costs contribution points, charged by the hour. It's not cheap.”

“That makes sense, I've heard the upkeep of such a structure requires a huge amount of Mysterious Crystals.”

“The construction costs are astronomical.”

While curious, many cadets were financially embarrassed; contribution points couldn't be spent carelessly. They prepared to observe how others used the facility before making selective purchases.

Sun Hao and Luo Feiyu had plenty of contribution points and immediately entered.

The interior was naturally vast, mainly divided into two functional areas—public gravity zone and private training rooms.

To the right were the private training rooms, with extreme privacy; close the door and no sight or sound could be seen or heard from the outside.

Added to that, the gravity multiple could be freely adjusted.

Being VIP zones, the price was of course…

“Ahem, let's take a look at the public gravity zone first.”

The entire gravity zone was tiered upward, indicating the incremental increase of gravity. The lowest level was two times gravity.

At this moment, the Gravity Field was not crowded; after Sun Hao paid the entry fee and did some warm-up exercises, he stepped into the double gravity zone.

Instantly,

Hum—

An invisible heavy pressure fell, not simply like carrying a heavy weight; this pressure squeezed every inch of his body, even his internal organs.

His face reddened, his heart pounded, his fists clenched, muscles bulging on his arms, and a low growl came from his throat:

“Ahh—”

He straightened his bent back, but his legs still felt as though they were sunk in a bog; every movement required several times more effort.

This was just double gravity!

And he was an Awakener!

“Huff—huff—huff—”

After a good while adapting, Sun Hao's movements gradually became more fluid, and he began to try using the surrounding training equipment to work out.

So did Luo Feiyu.

It was tough and exhausting, but there was a smile on his face, “I just checked my physique, and it has actually increased by 0.1 units, in such a short time!”

“With this Gravity Field, a rapid advancement in our physique is no dream.”

“It's just that the expense is a bit high.”

“We need to work even harder to earn organizational contributions.”

…

At the same time,

In Imperial Capital, Investigation Bureau Headquarters.

Investigators handpicked from the headquarters and various branches were already assembled and on standby.

There were a total of three hundred people.

Some had only received a short period of training as intern investigators, while others were formal third-level, second-level, and first-level investigators.

There were also Special-class Investigators who had undergone the Awakening.

Bai Xue, Jiang Tingqiu, Wei Nian, and Ke Yuan were among them.

Lead by the deputy chief of the Huang Division,

A sharp Investigator from the bureau, wearing glasses, the ‘Swordmaster' Yang Chang.
