“297…”

“298…”

“299…”

“300！”

Allen's hands were weak, and the whole person was stuck to the ground, sweating like rain. He's doing a physical workout, and 300 one-handed push-ups on the surface is a normal training session, but considering he's doing it at twice the gravity, the intensity is only higher than before.

The 20-square-meter gravity chamber can simulate about 10 times the gravity of the earth, which can be adjusted according to the needs of the user. This is a special room for physical training for contestants, and the ten-gravity room is not uncommon in Babylon. As mentioned in Hughton's previous ramblings, the military or the big aristocrats' own private gravity chambers can simulate up to 50 times the gravity of the earth.

Training in the gravity chamber is difficult to rely on the physical strength of ordinary humans alone, and only by filling the whole body with the source force can it counteract part of the suppression of gravity. Therefore, while carrying out physical training, it is also a process of tempering the source force.

Alan rolled over and said to the ceiling, "End training." ”

Suddenly, the whole body was light, and it was the result of the room's brain stopping to simulate the earth's gravity. In the training building, almost all the facilities can be controlled by voice control. Alan had now begun to get used to this new way of life, even if he had only been in Babylon for half a day.

Looking at the ceiling, the silver metal dome reflected Alan's figure. The boy remembered what Hughton had said before, and his mood was as heavy as his body under the pressure of gravity.

The confinement of the source force was far more complicated than he had imagined, and Alan remembered the previous conversation, and when he asked Hughton if there was a way to break the confinement, the old drunkard suddenly fell silent. After a while, he said to him: "Of course there are ways to get rid of it, and there are two kinds of it. But neither is it easy, the first method is the simplest and most difficult, that is, the person who fastened this lock will unlock it for you, and the combination of source power is hundreds or thousands. Even if you use your brain to perform logical calculations, it is difficult to calculate the real answer. Different attributes, the strength of the source force, etc., will produce countless possibilities. Therefore, this password is only clear to those who have imposed the source force confinement......"

"And what about the second method?" Alan asked.

Hughton didn't answer directly, but looked at him and said, "Son, why are you so persistent. Let's put it this way, even if you can't form a genetic circuit, I have some little tricks that can help you, and maybe even win. ”

Alan shook his head, his eyes flashing with Lanny's parting look and advice. He said firmly: "Major General, because my end will never be a death ring." ”

Looking at Alan's bright red eyes, Hughton seemed to feel something. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, it's okay to sue you." The second method is up to you, and you're in luck, because the person has imposed three layers of imprisoning on your heart. I feel that the confinement of the first layer is the most fragile, and perhaps the source power of the nine vortices can be forcibly destroyed from the outside. ”

"It's like if you don't have a key, you have to break the lock violently. But I have to remind you that the source force is like a barrier, and this barrier is in your heart. When force strikes at it, even if it succeeds in breaking the shield, it will inevitably cause damage to your heart. Hughton patted him on the shoulder and said, "My advice to you is, if you want to use the second method, then now go to the gravity chamber and do a series of physical exercises." Only a stronger physique and source power can withstand the damage after breaking through the barrier. ”

"Thank you, Major General." Alan grinned, then ran towards the gravity chamber without saying a word.

Hughton looked at him and shook his head: "Stupid and stupid guy......"

"Still, I really like this little ghost." He lowered his head again and continued with the work at hand.

Now Eren already has four Source Force Vortexes, but he is still five short of the basic requirements of the Impact Barrier. Calculating the time, there is still one month left, and five source force vortices must be tempered in thirty days. Anyone in their normal sense knows how difficult it is. Alan gritted his teeth and let the brain in the room continue to turn on the gravity simulation, followed by a complete set of physical training.

No matter how difficult it is, Alan will not give up. He had already lost a lot, and he didn't want to lose even the opportunity to avenge his mother and Bai Fang.

Outside the gravity room, Hughton has finished his work. He stared at a light screen on the wall, which showed Allen training himself. Hughton took a sip of his wine and was silent.

When Alan walked out of the gravity chamber with almost trembling legs, his legs went limp, and he involuntarily fell to the ground. Now, every muscle in his body is trembling, and some tendons have even been damaged. Alan didn't even have the strength to move a finger now, so he could barely keep his eyes open. Hughton came over, picked him up and said, "It's good for young people to work hard, but it's not wise to give up their lives before they have even competed." You can squeeze your potential, but you can't squeeze it all at once, it will kill you, kid. ”

Hughton carried him back to his room and threw him on the bed. After leaving for a moment, he took a needle and stabbed it directly into Allen's arm, pressing the liquid in the injection into it. Hughton patted him on the face and said, "Don't think about anything now, get some sleep." ”

When the world began to blur and Hughton's face could not be seen clearly, Alan finally fell asleep. By the time he woke up, it was already early the next morning. Alan took a shower and changed into clean clothes. When he came to the hall again, Hughton didn't seem to have gotten out of bed yet, and the hall was silent.

Carnage was placed on the table, and Eren walked over and picked it up. The Darksteel Broadsword had been reassembled completely, and Alan swung it a few times, but didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Hughton's voice behind him suddenly sounded: "You can try to send the source power into the blade and see what happens." ”

The old drunkard was standing behind Allen with a bottle, Huton was disheveled, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a drunk who had slept all night. As he said, Alan used his will to drive the source power in his body and send it towards the slaughter. When the source force entered the slaughter, Alan suddenly felt that the big knife was like a black hole, and immediately drained his poor source power.

The boy felt a sense of emptiness and barely stood. BUT THE SLAUGHTER CHANGED, FIRST THE DARK LINES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BLADE GRADUALLY LIT UP, AND FINALLY A 20CM LONG ENERGY BLADE POPPED OUT FROM THE FRONT END. The energy blade was dark red, buzzing and trembling like a curtain of light, and the light illuminated the boy's face, and Eren looked at Hughton excitedly.

He can finally drive the slaughter!

After 30 seconds, the energy blade flashed and retracted. Alan couldn't hold it again, and the big knife fell to the ground with a clang. Hughton picked it up and put it on the table, watching the source power being squeezed clean, and Allen, who was sitting on the ground with a pale face, said, "Look, you can already use this toy." That's good news, but the bad news is that you'll need more support to get used to it. Otherwise, as soon as you activate the sequence of sharp energy, you will become a soft-footed shrimp, which will only be a joke. ”

On this day, Allen's physical strength was exhausted. A great emptiness filled his soul, and his heart stirred like a bellows. His heartbeat was like a drumbeat, constantly ringing in his ears, reminding him to be careful next time, to be more careful.

Alan sat on the floor all morning, during which time he was left alone with drinking. It wasn't until Eren himself recovered a source force vortex that the emptiness gradually receded, and the boy had the strength to get up. In the afternoon, Hughton threw him into the gravity chamber again. For the next two days, apart from physical training and physical training, Alan almost thought that the old drunkard was lazy, that he had not instructed him in anything else until now.

During this period, Tonisf came twice, and after seeing him once, he did not leave, and it seemed that the ladyboy lieutenant was quite busy.

On the fifth day, Alan had breakfast, and without Hughton's command, he had habitually walked towards the gravity chamber. Hughton stopped him, and Allen looked at the Major General suspiciously, and the drunkard pointed to his side and motioned for Allen to come over.

"I've looked at the profiles of other players, and these little guys are not easy. Alan, what are you going to do once the game starts? Hughton asked casually in a chatty tone.

Alan thought for a moment, waved his fist and said, "Kill everyone, won't you win that way?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, his head had already knocked Hughton's flask. The tin flask knocked Alan grinning, and Hughton shook his head and said, "Is Ron going to teach you all these things to build muscles into your head?" You idiot, didn't I just say it clearly enough? Your competitors aren't too far apart, at least most of them are about the same as you. If you don't have to do it with your brain, I bet you won't make it through two days. ”

"So what should I do?" Alan asked, rubbing his head.

Hughton snorted in his nostrils and said, "Be strategic, you know?" There is no force, there is no strategy, just a martial artist. Only with courage and resourcefulness can I hope to become a famous general like me! ”

Looking at the so-called "famous general", Alan really doubted how much water there was in Hughton's words. Huton coughed dryly and said, "Don't look at me like this, when Lao Tzu was young, you didn't know where you were when you went on an expedition to the outer lands." Or how do you think the rank of major general came about? That's all typed! ”

"Now listen to me, every day you have some free time. During this time, you can go anywhere except not leaving the building. My advice is to use this time to visit the training hall on the top floor. Meeting some friends and, if the conditions are right, forming a temporary alliance will help you in the death ring. ”

"Child, you have to remember. One person's power is limited, in the death ring, or on your path later. Whether it's your soldiers or your friends, you have to find a way to put together the resources you can use, and you will find that this force is far more powerful than you are. After thinking about it, Hughton added: "Of course, personal force is also very important, it is the basis and core of your cohesion of resources. ”

"Finally, it will be helpful to have some time to read these books." Hughton pulled three books out of his coat and threw them into Alan's hand.
