"I have a Purple Cloud Pill here, and I'll use it as a bet, wagering that Brent can last over an hour in the Sevenfold Gravity Zone." Candice remained silent for a long time, gazing at the figure of Bu, slowly seeming to make up her mind.
"You bet he can last over an hour?" The Big-Nosed Young Man's eyes widened, looking at Candice as if she were foolish. After a moment, he burst into laughter and said, "I don't have as much faith in that guy as you do. I bet he can only last ten minutes, and I'll use this piece of Stellar Iron as my wager."
With that, the man casually pulled out a palm-sized piece of metal. The metal was a deep blue, interspersed with specks of white light that seemed to have a life of their own, moving restlessly like the stars in the universe, dazzling and brilliant.
"You're actually using Stellar Iron as a wager. It seems Ramon has put in some serious stakes too. Since that's the case, I can't be too stingy. I have a Magic Light Grass here; I'll bet that guy can last half an hour." The Big-Eared Man said, then took out a wooden box from his pocket. Inside lay a peculiar four-leaf clover emitting a dark glow.
"Magic Light Grass?" Candice's beautiful eyes sparkled as she smiled and said, "This Magic Light Grass is quite good; I'm in need of such herbs. Very well, I'll gladly accept it later."
"Hmph, let's wait until you win first. It's your turn now, Moses." The Big-Eared Man sneered and glanced at Candice before turning his attention to Moses.
Upon hearing this, Moses narrowed his eyes slightly and calmly looked at Bu. He slowly pulled out a golden key from the pouch at his waist, his expression utterly indifferent. "I'll use this item to bet that the junior can reach the Eightfold Gravity Zone."
"The Eightfold Gravity Zone!?" The three were stunned. Even Candice, who had confidence in Bu, was left speechless. She looked at Bu and then at Moses, suddenly feeling uncertain.
"That's yours—the Spirit Bridge access key. It's a precious item worth one hundred Honor Points!" Ramon, the Big-Nosed Man's eyes gleamed with greed as he stared intently at the golden key in Moses' hand.
In his mind, Moses must be crazy; the Eightfold Gravity Zone was a terrifying area where even the four of them couldn't stay for more than ten minutes. A person with only Intermediate Level strength—no matter how strong their physical attributes—could never enter the Eightfold Gravity Zone; it would be tantamount to seeking death.
After they agreed on their bets, all four turned their gazes toward Bu's position. Under their watchful eyes, Bu slowly opened his closed eyes. His breathing had returned to normal, and all his bodily functions were at peak performance; he could easily withstand the immense pressure of the Sixfold Gravity Zone.
Without hesitation, Bu stepped forward toward the gray expanse of the Sevenfold Gravity Zone ten steps away. His movement seemed to stir something within Candice and the others' hearts, causing their heartbeats to quicken and their eyes to brighten. They instinctively stepped forward to follow Bu's unwavering figure.
Boom!!!
The heavy pressure collapsed down like a mountain—oppressive and suffocating like water eroding breath itself.
Entering the Sevenfold Gravity Zone, the moment his foot touched the ground and his figure appeared in this gray space, the mist began to churn violently. His body trembled, his knees suddenly buckled, and with a heart-stopping crack, his spine was forcefully pressed down. His muscles bulged, and thick blue veins erupted on his skin as if they were about to burst out.
A beast-like roar erupted from his clenched teeth. His eyes were bloodshot, his face flushed red, and he hunched at the edge of the Sevenfold Gravity Zone, trembling violently as if he would collapse at any moment.
"Haha, Moses, this kid can barely hold on after just entering the Sevenfold Gravity Zone. You overestimated him; this time, I’m definitely going to win," Ramon laughed thunderously. Through the gray mist, he saw Bu's hunched figure struggling to hold on, and an uncontrollable joy surged within him. He was certain that Bu wouldn’t last long; among the four of them, he had bet that Bu could only endure for ten minutes. Given the current situation, it was clearly in his favor.
Moses remained indifferent, ignoring Ramon's confident words as he calmly watched Bu with an expression of unperturbed composure. Candice frowned slightly, feeling a twinge of regret for her choice. As for the Big-Eared Man, he let out a cold snort, his expression gradually darkening.
At this moment, Bu's internal energy surged wildly. Twenty-five acupoints thundered with sound under the immense pressure of seven times gravity. His muscles were constantly tearing yet rapidly healing at the same time. His viscera trembled with signs of rupture, blood seeping out. His skin cracked open, revealing a layer of pale fat beneath; this pale layer was quickly covered by crimson blood, creating a shocking sight.
"Is seven times my limit? The pressure here is too great. Under this pressure, my physical enhancement speed is several times greater than in the Sixfold Gravity Zone, but this speed is still too slow for my constitution. This isn’t my limit; it’s not enough!"
Bu breathed heavily, each heartbeat felt like a heavy hammer striking against his chest. Blood pooled beneath his feet as it flowed from his body, staining his white martial artist uniform red.
He stepped forward; his body trembled as he took a heavy step that caused the mist to swirl around him and left a bloody footprint on the ground. This step tore at his leg muscles and sent piercing pain through his leg bones, but Bu’s expression remained resolute as he took another heavy step.
At that moment, time seemed to lose its meaning. Bu entered a state of complete oblivion; he forgot the pain and the overwhelming pressure on his body. With slow yet steady steps, he continued forward. Each step left behind a bloody footprint on the ground that gradually transformed into a shocking trail of crimson as he moved further away.
Candice and the others followed closely behind him in silence, watching Bu’s trembling body that seemed ready to collapse at any moment yet continued to press on. Gradually, their observation turned into inner shock; it felt as if each of Bu's steps resonated in their hearts—quickening their pulses and disrupting their breaths while filling their eyes with astonishment.
With a sudden stumble, Bu nearly fell to the ground. His gaze flickered but quickly regained its calmness. Once again, he stepped forward without hesitation; however, this time his body trembled even more severely as he walked with a limp. After enduring such immense pressure for so long, his ankle bone cracked.
"Ten minutes have long passed; it's almost been half an hour now," the Big-Eared Man murmured to himself or perhaps to the other three. His gaze slowly fell upon the row of bloody footprints with an extremely complex expression.
Initially driven by curiosity to see what would happen next and later fueled by greed due to their bet, his feelings had shifted significantly.
He did not overestimate Bu, but neither did he underestimate him. Therefore, he bet that Bu could last half an hour. However, at the beginning, Bu's poor performance after stepping into the Sevenfold Gravity Zone left him extremely disappointed. His disappointment was not due to how much he cared about Bu, but because he felt that he had completely lost the bet.
But now, he was shocked to the core. The curiosity in his heart vanished, and his greed for the wager dissipated. All that remained was awe for Bu's indomitable spirit, his seemingly reckless actions that were akin to courting death, and the glaring blood-red footprints that left a deep impression on him. It was as if his heart was a still pond disturbed by stones, unable to calm down for a long time.
"I... I am starting to believe that he can reach the Eightfold Gravity Zone. His willpower is truly terrifying; he treats himself like a madman. I don't understand why he is doing this. It's equivalent to self-harm, with more disadvantages than benefits. Why is he pushing himself so hard?" Candice's gaze never left Bu's figure, her voice trembling with confusion.
"It can't be said that there are only disadvantages," Moses, who rarely spoke, chimed in at this moment. He glanced at Candice and smiled, saying, "He is challenging his own limits, seeking breakthroughs within those limits to unleash his potential. This sevenfold pressure is like a great hammer, while that Fellow is like a sword blank placed on a forge, refined through countless strikes to remove the impurities and achieve the sword body."
"Challenging one's limits..." Candice was slightly moved and looked back at Bu with a hint of admiration in her eyes.
Unbeknownst to him, four people were closely following behind Bu. His mind was completely immersed in this crazy training; all he knew was to move forward, forward, and further forward.
His muscles tore and then healed again; his skin cracked and then returned to normal. In this constant cycle of damage and recovery, the strength of his body increased at a terrifying speed, and his ability to adapt to the Sevenfold Gravity Zone gradually became bearable.
"My strength has increased a bit; Agility has risen by 1 point; my physique has also improved. Indeed, my approach is correct. If I had stayed in the fivefold gravity zone at this moment, it would have taken me nearly two weeks of training to achieve such an increase in attributes. Although it’s tough now and my body has sustained minor injuries, compared to the gains I’ve made, these injuries are nothing. With my recovery speed, I can venture into the Eightfold Gravity Zone."
Bu's lips were chapped from losing too much blood earlier, making him feel slightly dizzy now. Yet his steps did not falter as he resolutely headed deeper into the Eightfold Gravity Zone.
