Inside the training room, a gentle, intellectual male voice sounded.
[This training recommendation is provided by the Huaxia Data Department Training Guidance Center.]
[The most significant improvements from special training are four abilities: skill preparation time, duration, recovery time, and special attack strength. When the persistence time reaches over 120 minutes, there is a chance to increase the reserve count of reserve-type skills.]
[The Ghost Star gave us talents and skills, special attacks and other incredible abilities, but those abilities are "granted" by the Ghost Star — they are not improvements of our own innate abilities. The super-gravity training in the special training hall strengthens some internal structures of the body, allowing us to better exert those granted abilities.]
[Strength and physique, and the agility attribute, can significantly help with super-gravity training. However, gravity training is not a test of how much gravity your body can withstand; it requires breaking through the limits of body and mind.]
[Through forty years of data research, we found that what truly helps trainees break limits is precisely mental strength — not the mental power granted by the Ghost Star, but one's own mental strength.]
[This includes endurance, willpower, and the ability to concentrate.]
[Under super-gravity conditions, based on trainees' performance, our Data Department has summarized three training methods.]
[First, the Meditation Method: try to keep yourself calm, concentrate, and mobilize your whole body's abilities to overcome the super-gravity.]
[After adapting to the current gravity environment, you can enter the second method, the Exercise Method: you may do appropriate exercise to increase the body's load and thus further enhance the training effect.]
[After adapting to the Exercise Method, you can enter the third training method, the Extreme Method. The Extreme Method is also the key to improvement: use the ability you want to enhance until you reach the body's limit. In this process you can improve that ability's efficiency and strength.]
[In gravity training, gravity multiples increase every 20 minutes, but each increase is small. Using this characteristic, we recommend persisting with the Meditation Method and the Exercise Method for 20 minutes each to prepare, then perform the Extreme Method to boost abilities.]
[The Extreme Method uses high-consumption skills to quickly push your body to its limits and attempt to break through them. The final effect will be effective for all skills; you don't need to deliberately use only the skill you want to improve.]
[The gravity switch is voice-activated; if you cannot bear the gravity, you may request to turn the switch off.]
[This concludes the explanation. Wish you smooth training.]
Jiang Kai frowned slightly; the Data Department's explanation gave him a preliminary understanding of the principles of the special training hall.
By the way, he had previously thought the Huaxia Data Department was an optional, unnecessary department, but as his strength improved, it seemed the Data Department's role was greater than he had imagined.
The Ghost Star had appeared fifty years ago; with long-term accumulation, the Data Department had obtained a large amount of reference data, and that data could indeed help people avoid many detours.
"Hu Yan and Ruan Yu said that each time you break into the special training hall you can only last an hour, so when they do Extreme Method training, their actual time is only twenty minutes."
Twenty minutes can bring such a significant improvement — it seems this special training hall's training effect is extremely obvious!
"By the way, my duplicate is another me; let him train too."
Jiang Kai released his duplicate.
"Hey, train with me." Jiang Kai said to the duplicate.
"Do I still need training?" the duplicate snorted. "Hey, if there's something, fight me!"
"When I saw you fight another duplicate, his performance was too poor. If you had chosen me back then, you would've died under my Pursuit!" Jiang Kai said, a black line appearing on his forehead. "No, can you not be so arrogant?"
"Young and reckless — what's wrong with that?" the duplicate said righteously. "Besides, my personality also came from you. What do you mean by that?"
Jiang Kai immediately frowned. "It seems you're unhappy about becoming my skill container."
"Of course I'm unhappy — you should be my skill!"
"Hey! You bastard, you just want to fight, fine, I'll fight you!" Jiang Kai said. "You're really out of control; see if I don't put you in your place."
"Can't wait!"
"Wait!" Jiang Kai suddenly said. "We can't fight recklessly! This is special training. They just said we need to guarantee forty minutes of preparation time — that way, after we finish fighting we'll also have a chance to improve our abilities."
The duplicate thought for a moment and surprisingly did not oppose it.
"Okay — you train yours, I'll train mine. Duel in forty minutes!"
The two Jiang Kais each entered the Meditation Method.
After twenty minutes of Meditation Method adaptation, both had fully adapted to the current gravity environment.
Next came twenty minutes of light exercise.
Jiang Kai breathed while glancing at the one doing push-ups and planning in his head.
What he hoped to improve were: Dreamer's Preparation Time, Gambler's Duration, and also the reserve count of Divine Might Aura and Deceptive Substitute. If he could also increase flame intensity a bit, that would be great.
After completing twenty minutes of the Exercise Method, the most important Extreme Method came next.
The Extreme Method becomes truly effective at the time after the body reaches its limit and breaks through it, so you need to break the limit quickly!
For others, going all-out might be enough, but now Jiang Kai was going to duel his own duplicate here…
The two stood facing each other.
Jiang Kai said coldly, "Kid, if you lose, behave for me from then on, remember who's boss!"
The duplicate snorted, "Ridiculous. I've had enough of being used as your expendable scapegoat! If you lose, you'll listen to me! Cough cough, and you can't challenge the Eight Wastes, I won't!"
"Got it!" Jiang Kai said with a dark face; he was sly himself!
The duplicate had already clenched Pursuit in his hand; the two simultaneously unleashed Quenching Pursuit!
Not long after, inside the training room, the two used all their strength and started a fierce battle.
"Moonlight Immortal Trail Sword!"
"War Spirit Leap!"
"Pursuit! Combination Form! Transcendent Shot!"
"Light God's Decree, the god descends!"
"Yama's Decree, the wrath of the dark god!"
It must be said, fighting yourself really doesn't give you much advantage.
Jiang Kai seemed to return to the Bewildering Mist Zone; their thoughts and moves were almost the same, so neither dared to be careless.
Both focused on combat, not even noticing the slight gravity increase every twenty minutes.
They exhausted themselves again and again, yet rallied repeatedly, trying to take advantage the moment the opponent couldn't hang on.
But neither would admit defeat; whenever one couldn't hold on and the other attacked, both would unleash all their power.
No one knew how much time had passed; both were exhausted, movements slow, unable to use skills, yet at this point neither would concede.
At that moment, gravity increased again.
Although it was still only a small increase, for the two it seemed to be the last straw to break the camel's back — both collapsed to the ground.
Even at that point, Jiang Kai was still crawling toward the opponent, and the opponent was crawling toward him.
When they were only several dozen centimeters apart, both simply could not move anymore.
"Again, again it's…hand-locking…" Jiang Kai glared at the duplicate.
"Who's locking hands with you — I, I can still fight…" the duplicate said, and with a shake of his wrist fired Pursuit.
Unfortunately, the Pursuit flew out a dozen centimeters and fell to the ground.
Jiang Kai snorted coldly. "You're not as good as that greedy duplicate."
"Cut the crap. When the time hadn't come, I already guessed what you wanted to do! Because I wanted to do the same thing!" the duplicate said.
As soon as the duplicate finished speaking, both suddenly froze.
Then almost at the same time, they both used Yama's Decree.
Their targets for the attack were themselves.
After a round of self-harm, both instantly entered a pseudo-death state; strength, physique, and agility all doubled.
The two stood up and fought fiercely again.
Unfortunately, when both finally fell to the ground and couldn't get up, neither had defeated the other.
"I can't, I'm going to die…quick, shut off the gravity training." The duplicate panted, unable to move.
Jiang Kai wasn't much better, lying there motionless. "Have you given up?"
"No!" the duplicate said. "You didn't beat me."
"I still have the Eight Wastes challenge unused!"
The duplicate snorted, "I told you before not to hold back, and now you say you kept strength — I think you must be a shameless duplicate."
Jiang Kai glared fiercely at the duplicate.
But then again, if the duplicate died he could revive with no real loss; if he died it would be different.
"Turn off gravity!" Jiang Kai shouted loudly.
The feeling of extreme weight finally weakened and then completely disappeared.
But Jiang Kai had long since been unable to move; he recalled the duplicate and collapsed, fainting…
No one knew how much time had passed before the training room door was opened from outside.
"What's going on, it's over and you still don't come out…hmm?" The operator immediately saw Jiang Kai lying there and hurried over.
He helped Jiang Kai up, checked his breath, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Jiang Kai's injuries still shocked him.
"Damn, I've worked here so long and this is the first time I've seen someone try so hard. This guy almost killed himself!"
