Chad was surprised to see his sister. "Gabrial? Why are you here?" he asked as she wrapped her arms around his neck, breathing in her familiar scent. A long-lost sense of familial affection surged in his heart.
"You little rascal, of course, I came to see you," Gabrial replied affectionately, ruffling his hair.
"I said don't touch my head; it'll make me grow shorter…" Chad complained, pouting.
Gabrial released him and smiled. "You're already a head taller than your sister. Are you still growing? How have you been? Has it been tough?"
Chad noticed the concern in her eyes. His nose tingled, overwhelmed by her genuine worry. Over the past month, countless people had marveled at his strength and achievements, but no one had cared about how he was doing or if he was tired.
"Cultivation. It's never easy." Chad replied with a smile. "Besides, we promised to enter the Sacred Spirit Academy together. How can I not work hard?"
Gabrial rolled her eyes at him, teasingly. "You've really been thinking about that."
Then, she pulled out a purple pill and solemnly handed it to Chad. "This is a pill from the Fourth Zone. It can enhance your psychic talent level. Take it quickly. It's effective for any psychic power below S-grade."
Chad held the pill with a strange expression. How could he tell her that he already possessed Hellfire, an ultra S-grade psychic power? But under her concerned gaze, he swallowed the pill.
Gabrial's eyes widened as she focused intently on Chad's body, waiting for a reaction. However, after a long while, there were no unusual changes. Her disappointment was palpable as she muttered to herself, "No effect…? I remember this pill is very rare and effective…"
Seeing his sister's disappointed look, Chad quickly consoled her. "Gabrial, don't be sad. It's okay if my psychic power level doesn't improve. Look, I quickly rose from the First Zone to the Second Zone, right? I even broke the record."
His words seemed to lift Gabrial's spirits, and she smiled fondly at him. "My brother is the best."
Chad felt a bit awkward hearing that, but he remained calm and collected. When Gabrial handed him the pill, he had already anticipated its effect. His psychic power was no longer the weak F-grade Aerobic Flame; it was the powerful and mysterious ultimate flame, Hellfire. There couldn't be a pill in this world that could enhance the level of Hellfire.
After chatting for a long while, it was time to part. Gabrial held his hand, reluctant to let go. Chad, touched by her affection, made a solemn promise with a serious expression. "In the future, we must enter the Sacred Spirit Academy together."
Gabrial's eyes welled up with tears as she nodded firmly. "Okay. Together."
After saying goodbye to Gabrial, Chad remained alone in the team's room. His two teammates, fearful of William's brother, had run away and never returned. He didn't wait for them, but he did wait for the administrators from the Second Zone's Spiritual Energy Association.
One claimed to be the association's secretary, and the other claimed to be the logistics director. After identifying themselves, they sincerely advised Chad, "You'd better not offend William. You're new here, so you might not know his background. He's unpredictable, and if you offend him too much, the consequences will be severe."
Chad nodded, indicating that he understood, but he didn't really care. If his sister hadn't intervened and sent that guy flying earlier, he had already planned to give William a lesson he would never forget. But this situation was fine too; everyone knew he had offended William, and no one wanted to associate with him. The team's training room was temporarily his alone, undisturbed.
Walking over to the gravity acceleration chamber, Chad marveled at the tall white machine. "The gravitational acceleration in the Second Zone can reach 40 times. The Spiritual Energy Association is wealthy." After expressing his amazement, he eagerly adjusted the settings and stepped inside.
Inside the machine, it was pitch black. "It's really dark," Chad muttered softly. As soon as he finished speaking, a buzz reverberated, and an overwhelming sense of vertigo washed over him. The gravity beneath his feet felt as if it had become tens of times heavier, pressing down on him like solid weights.
Instantly, Chad began to sweat profusely, his body bending under the pressure. He gritted his teeth, resisting the urge to collapse, nearly biting through his gums. "This is really intense." he thought as his cells raged like they had been drowning for thirty minutes, finally gasping for fresh air.
The pressure continued to rise. Chad had pre-set the pressure coefficient to gradually increase from 20 times to 40 times gravity. Under the heavy pressure, he stood there silently, unyielding. His skin revealed bulging veins, like rugged, fierce dragons beneath the surface. His skin flushed, and his internal source power flowed like rivers, sweat pouring out and soaking his clothes. The heat of his body evaporated the sweat into pure white mist, filling the interior of the gravity chamber.
Finally, after thirty minutes, the training session ended. The chamber door opened, and Chad walked out drenched, exhausted yet exhilarated. He breathed heavily, his skin flushed and sweaty, but his eyes sparkled brightly. "Forty times, thirty minutes. I endured it."
Previously, the record stood at 28 times gravity for 15 minutes, but Chad had pushed it to the maximum while doubling the time. The simulation training field on the top floor was open to each person once a month, and being new, Chad didn't have access yet. So, after training, he took a shower and went to sleep early.
The next day, the secretary at the front desk notified him by phone that a new mist had appeared in the Second Zone. Chad's team, 443, was assigned to the mission. After hanging up, Chad glanced at the empty team training room, pondering where his teammates were. But it didn't matter; being alone was fine. Chad believed that his strength didn't need anyone else's help.
Meanwhile, in the entertainment hall of the Spiritual Energy Association, a few individuals sneaked into a private room. They found William waiting inside and whispered secretly, "William. Chad went into the mist alone."
Upon hearing this news, William's eyes lit up. A cold smile appeared on his lips as he nodded. "Good. If he wants to die, it's not my fault. I'll make sure he dies this time."
