Chapter 1685: Chapter 40: Mountain and Sea Purgatory
"Isn’t the progress a bit too fast?" Jiang Wang cautiously raised an objection.
"Not at all, not at all," Zuo Guangshu said, trying to coax Jiang Wang to keep up, and threw in a compliment, "With your talent, even a room with two hundred times the Power of Zhong Xuan wouldn’t be a problem for you!"
"Oh, really?" Jiang Wang scratched his head, smiling bashfully.
"Really, I mean it! I’ve adapted myself... uh, for a few days too." Zuo Guangshu sped up his pace, "Come on, this is the room!"
Jiang Wang smiled indulgently, "I really can’t say no to you."
He lifted his step to follow.
The transition from the room with ten times the Power of Zhong Xuan to the room with a hundred times the Power of Zhong Xuan took less than half a day.
It could indeed be called lightning speed.
The room with one hundred times the Power of Zhong Xuan was a large square stone chamber.
There was nothing inside, exactly as Jiang Wang had initially envisioned it, like a sealed training room.
"Under such pressure, the cost of setting up an environment is extremely high, and it’s not easy to preserve, so all the unnecessary things were omitted. Starting from the room with sixty times the Power of Zhong Xuan, it’s all like this."
Zuo Guangshu explained as he walked inside, "There are definitely some differences with the Mountain and Sea Realm."
Upon entering the room, Jiang Wang clearly felt a lack of coordination in his body.
The terrifying pressure made breathing a bit difficult. Equivalent to a hundred times the Power of Zhong Xuan from the current world, it crushed every part of the body.
Even the flow of blood was a bit sluggish.
He needed to push it slightly with Path Origin.
Only until the muscles made adaptive changes did the blood flow become relatively natural.
"The environment is a minor issue; the main thing is adapting to this pressure." Jiang Wang said as he slowly took a step forward.
This step seemed steady, but Jiang Wang knew, and Zuo Guangshu could see clearly, that he couldn’t maintain his posture.
This so-called "posture" doesn’t refer to etiquette or anything else.
After countless battles, Jiang Wang had long developed an instinctive posture that allows him to quickly enter combat mode at any time.
In different environments and facing different situations, the body instinctively adjusts to accommodate potential battles.
Like earlier outside the Shimen when "Uncle Scar" merely gave a look, he immediately entered combat mode.
This failure to maintain fighting posture undoubtedly revealed Jiang Wang’s lack of adaptation.
Although Jiang Wang quickly adjusted, there is, of course, a fundamental difference between instinctive response and conscious resistance.
"Come, let me practice with you!" Zuo Guangshu’s voice rose a few notches, his beautiful eyes filled with fighting spirit.
Having defeated this youngster twice in a row, Jiang Wang certainly had no reason to refuse.
"Then... shall we try?"
Disregarding all external environmental influences, it’s in this empty training room setting that truly tests the essence of battle.
Just as they squared off, a pale blue mist suddenly rose around Zuo Guangshu, swirling around him, covering him like a layer of battle armor.
This was a change never seen before!
And then with a twist of his footsteps, he was close in an instant.
He was practically a blue blur, flashing by in the blink of an eye.
This speed was unprecedented, far faster than his performance in the rooms with fifty times and ten times the Power of Zhong Xuan.
The Power of Zhong Xuan had been amplified so many times, yet Zuo Guangshu was even faster!
Of course, this speed wasn’t beyond Jiang Wang’s ability to react, but just as he seized the opportunity, shaping his hand into a blade and slashing down...
He struck nothing but air!
Meanwhile, a punch landed in his abdomen, bending him over, and he was sent flying!
Jiang Wang immediately realized that it wasn’t because Zuo Guangshu was too fast, but because he himself was too slow.
He indeed couldn’t immediately adapt to the Power of Zhong Xuan, which was a hundred times greater than the current world’s environment.
His body couldn’t keep up with his combat awareness. While under the cover of that smoke armor, Zuo Guangshu virtually ignored the effects of the Power of Zhong Xuan.
In the process of being thrown back, Jiang Wang constantly adjusted minute aspects of his body, hoping to adapt quickly and return to normal. But in such an extreme environment, how could it be an instant achievement?
And at this moment, Zuo Guangshu had already caught up, clasping his hands together, intending to deliver a heavy hammer strike to pound him to the ground as revenge.
At that moment, five light sources lit up in Jiang Wang’s chest and abdomen.
In an instant, the Five Mansions glowed in unison, and he entered the Heavenly Governance Body state.
Pa!
The hammer held by Zuo Guangshu’s clasped hands was stopped by a single palm.
With a twist of his hand, Jiang Wang grasped Zuo Guangshu’s hammer, clenched his hands tight, and with a flip, he slammed him to the ground.
Bang!
A loud crash sounded.
In the state of the Five Mansions glowing together, Jiang Wang maximally enhanced his flesh body, using the radiance of five Divine Skills to protect himself while briefly countering the effects of the Power of Zhong Xuan.
This move was, of course, precise and ruthless...
But it was indeed a bit of a cheat.
The training had been agreed upon to adapt to the environment; showcasing such top-tier combat status as the Five Mansions glowing together had no effect on acclimating to the environment.
In the Mountain and Sea Realm, be it a few days or months, how could he maintain the Heavenly Governance state at all times?
Jiang Wang turned around to see Zuo Guangshu flipping up energetically, charging at him once more with boundless energy.
"Again!"
Within the pale blue smoke armor, the boy’s eyes flickered, full of defiance!
Jiang Wang actually already felt a bit sorry.
But he simply stepped firmly forward, shattering the Qingyun underfoot, ready to clash head-on.
