Ye Yu entered the second room, which had twenty times gravity.
There was no one here, and Ye Yu stepped into the gravity area, feeling his body suddenly become heavy. The terror of the twenty times gravity area was not just about the numbers being twice as high as ten times. Each additional level compounded the gravity, which was extremely terrifying. Moreover, the environment here was harsher, with temperatures reaching one hundred degrees Celsius during the day and dropping to minus one hundred degrees at night.
His terrifying constitution didn't feel much right now, but over time, it would certainly be affected. Ye Yu felt he hadn't chosen wrongly with the Intermediate Academy; this cultivation environment was very well-suited to him.
Training here was like being in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber from Dragon Ball, except without that terrifying ratio of one day outside to a year inside.
Ye Yu started cultivating. Here, soul power increased rapidly; the greater the pressure endured, the quicker the cultivation. Moreover, he was an Innate Full Soul Power at level thirty. Although half of the soul power would be absorbed by his body, his speed was still faster than Innate Full Soul Power at level ten.
Though half of the soul power was absorbed, Ye Yu didn't feel it was wasted; it wasn't gone but was instead working on his body, making him feel increasingly stronger.
This was excellent. Otherwise, no matter how strong the abilities or support skills, if the body was brittle, it would be useless. Moreover, Ye Yu felt that this soul power was also acting on the Second Martial Soul hidden deep within his body.
"Perhaps, when the soul power absorbed by the body reaches a certain level, my Second Martial Soul will appear?"
This thought crossed Ye Yu's mind; he was certain he had a Second Martial Soul, and it was extremely terrifying. From the previous absorption of the Rapid Growth Tiger and Celestial Void Power Demon Bull Soul Rings, it was clear that something was definitely hidden within his body.
Furthermore, previously when he was in the village, after going out at night until waking up, he couldn't remember anything in between.
Upon waking up, Ye Yu learned that a small mountain there had collapsed, with signs of a brief struggle.
At that time, he could have asked Tang Hao, but even if he did, it would have been meaningless. So, he decided to wait until he was stronger to ask Tang Hao.
Ye Yu began cultivating; he attended classes in the morning, then spent the afternoons and evenings in the twenty-times gravity space.
Two days later.
Ye Yu was eating in the cafeteria, with bowls piling up on the table, leaving other students gaping.
At this moment, Li Beta joyfully and excitedly ran in, boasting and cheering.
"Yay! I saw Qiao Bichi's appearance! She's gorgeous! Hahaha, just as I thought, girls with sweet voices are always beautiful."
Li Beta's words aroused the curiosity of other students, who kept asking questions.
"Li Beta, how beautiful is she? Tell us quickly."
"Li Beta, did you give her a hundred Gold Soul Coins?"
"You're showing off again, can you consider us single folks' feelings?"
"Hope you break up soon."
...
Li Beta felt proud, with a happy smile on his face.
"In short, she's very pretty, especially her smile that melts hearts. I swear, I'll protect Bichi's smile." Li Beta declared resolutely.
Ye Yu listened to this indifferently.
Whether or not it's as he thought, it didn't matter. Ye Yu hoped it wouldn't be as he guessed, otherwise, Li Beta would be haunted for life.
After boasting, Li Beta left.
A day later, a rumor spread throughout the school. To see Qiao Bichi's face, you only had to give her ten Gold Soul Coins for a glance.
Soon, many students wanted to take a look; five Gold Soul Coins were something some students could afford if they saved up a bit.
Quickly, over fifty students headed to the appointed spot, by a secluded fish pond outside Nuoding City, known as the Fighting Fish Pool.
When Li Beta heard this news, he was furious and headed there quickly as well.
At this time, Ye Yu happened to pass by, planning to buy gravity artifacts in a nearby city. Things like gravity-enhanced dumbbells for arm strength training.
As Ye Yu passed by, many students were jostling with Soul Coins in their hands, eager to see.
Qiao Bichi, with her face covered by a veil: "One at a time, everyone."
At this moment, Li Beta arrived and angrily said, "Bichi, how can you let them see too?"
Qiao Bichi replied, "What's the big deal? I'm just saving up for our future together."
Hearing this, the anger on Li Beta's face dissipated instantly, and he felt very content: "Bichi is so considerate."
At this point, Qiao Bichi noticed Ye Yu and teased, "I thought you didn't want to see me. They say I'm a beauty, and you finally couldn't resist coming to take a look?"
Ye Yu replied indifferently, "I'm just passing by."
"Hmph, saying one thing and meaning another. Since I'm in a good mood today, I'll let you see for free. Everyone, watch closely, I'm going to unveil myself now."
With that, three soul rings emerged on Qiao Bichi's body: one white, two yellow.
Li Beta was puzzled: "Bichi, why do you need to release your soul rings again?"
Previously, when he saw Bichi, she did the same. Bichi said she was afraid that onlookers might do something to her, so this was a precaution.
Qiao Bichi had the same explanation: "After all, I'm too beautiful. What if these people lose control?"
Li Beta thought it made sense, and the others were intensely curious about just how beautiful she was.
Qiao Bichi slowly unveiled her veil, while only she knew she was using her Second Soul Skill.
The veil was lifted, and Qiao Bichi gave a 'charming' smile.
"So, how do I look?"
At the same time, everyone was left speechless, and there was complete silence around.
Seeing this reaction, Qiao Bichi was not surprised: "Looks like I'm too beautiful, leaving you all stunned, hahaha..."
Qiao Bichi finished with a laugh, and then something astonishing happened.
Ugh!!!
All the students suddenly bent over, trying to vomit, scared and backing away.
"Oh my god, she's so ugly!"
"How old is she? She looks like an old lady!"
"What old lady? That's clearly a granny!"
...
Everyone felt it was too unsightly, and thinking of the previous words coming from the mouth of such an old granny gave them chills, making them feel disgusted.
Li Beta was equally stunned, deeply shaken, and muttered, "How... how could this be... Bichi, how did you become like this?"
Qiao Bichi suddenly felt something was wrong; did they see her real appearance? How was that possible?!
At this moment, Ye Yu teased, "Just as I thought, an ugly monster, and not a loli, but more like a fifty-eight-year-old granny."
Everyone immediately looked at Li Beta with sympathy and started teasing. This scene secretly delighted them.
"Hahaha, this is the great beauty you were talking about?"
"Beta, your girlfriend isn't a loli; she's a fifty-eight-year-old granny."
"Bichi's smile, let me protect it, hahaha... I think it's the granny's smile that I'll protect."
...
Li Beta was deeply affected, very embarrassed. Just now, Bichi's smile with her yellow teeth was as kind as an old granny.
This scene lingered in his mind and would become a lifelong shadow.
Qiao Bichi couldn't understand at all and looked around.
"Why did my Second Soul Skill's confusion fail? It only fails when there are soul masters of no less than level thirty around."
Qiao Bichi wanted to run away but was surrounded by the angry students.
