Chapter 279 - Air Palm Strike Training Part 2
Standing up required Adam to use the strength of his entire body and also required him to circulate Internal Energy all around his body.
His master was no longer laughing and joking around with Adam as they both became serious.
"I have left a manual for the basic movements and exercises for the initial part of the Air Palm Strike Skill" stated his master while pointing at the edge of the gravity training room that Adam was in.
Adam looked over at it and it was only a dozen metres away from him, but Adam didn't even attempt to move towards it and it felt like it was miles away.
"However, before you can even start to use it, your body must become accustomed to the increased gravity. 20 times is the highest that the gravity can be in that room, so after your body is accustomed to it and you begin training under the pressure, it won't increase any further" stated his master as Adam let out a sigh of relief.
"Stand in a horse stance which will strengthen your legs and engage your core, then switch between holding your arms out before you and to your sides. After your body becomes a bit more accustomed to the pressure, you can begin trying to walk up and down, then jogging, then running. After you can move around comfortably, then begin using the manual" instructed his master.
"I will be leaving and returning every few hours to bring you food and check how you are doing. You should train as much as you can and as you have realised, the energy in the gravity training room is very dense and has one of the environments in the base that has the densest energy" stated his master before walking away.
Hearing what he said and seeing that he was walking away, Adam's body was beginning to falter, but then the image of his aunt's face appeared within his mind.
Then the image of her demonic appearance due to the Evil Soul inhabiting her body also appeared, which infuriated him, then all of those that he cared about and wanted to protect and help appeared within his mind.
Everything he wanted to see, achieve and experience also began to flow through his mind as all his desires and emotions began to surge and fuel his body.
[The Hunter's mind will only hinder my training in this case as my emotions, ambitions and experiences are the fuel for my willpower. However, when studying the manual and trying to learn the skill, it will be required to increase my perceptivity] decided Adam as he entered a horse stance and placed his arms out before him just like his master instructed.
Within seconds, his arms, legs, core and all the muscles in his body that were already aching began to scream with pain, but Adam clenched his teeth and endured as he felt the energy from the atmosphere slowly become imbued with his muscles and body.
{Adam if you train in here for the entire year, all of your physical stats will increase. Not only that, but your body as a whole, including your internal organs, are also bearing the pressure, meaning your HP and Energy Storages should also become stronger. Your Intelligence Stat, although won't directly be increased by this training, the mental strain you will be suffering will assist in increasing that stat along with the willpower and control that you will be strengthening} stated Ava within his mind.
Adam was drenched in sweat and smiled after hearing that as he tensed and engaged all the muscles in his body into the stance he was standing in and circulated his energy.
He was drenched in sweat, felt like he was going to vomit and collapse, was experiencing gruelling aching pains throughout his body, but he still endured a smile.
[I have all of these opportunities and people supporting me, so I have no excuse and must become more powerful] stated Adam to himself as he stood there for the next few hours.
He stood in a puddle of sweat and blood leaked from all of his orifices from the pressure that his body was experiencing, but he still endured and didn't once falter.
Standing in a horse stance with his arms held out, Adam had his eyes closed and took deep breaths as he circulated the small amount of Internal Energy that he had left and continued to endure the pressure.
His body hadn't become much stronger in the few hours that he had stood there, but the changes were noticeable and he was finding it easier to breathe and his body was also adapting to the environment.
At that rate of improvement, after a year of being under 20 times gravity, Adam's physique would become that of a monster with an extremely powerful body.
Watching him from a distance, his master was once again shocked by Adam's willpower and hadn't expected Adam's body to be able to handle 20 times the gravity.
He had expected Adam's internal organs to be crushed and for him to collapse, which was why he watched the entire time in case something like that did happen.
However despite his mind telling him that something like that would happen to Adam, his heart was telling him that Adam would be able to overcome it and he was able to do exactly that.
Not only was Adam handling the pressure, but he was also using it to temper his body and was doing all of that with a smile on his face.
[It seems that Adam is finally being able to control his emotions and efficiently use them as fuel for his willpower and body's power] observed his master who carried a large tray of cooked meat and walked over to the gravity training room.
Adam was too preoccupied and overwhelmed with the pain he was experiencing and the pressure that was bearing on him to sense his master approaching where he was.
He also couldn't sense that his master had been watching him the entire time and could feel that his body would soon no longer be able to handle the pressure with his energy storages beginning to run out.
