Chapter 247: Chapter 225: Tang Wen: Only Children Make Choices

’I should see what other Visualization Defense Techniques I can learn.’

As for the advice from his master and senior sister... he could listen, but he had no intention of following it.

He put on the air of an attentive student, but his hands were already getting frisky.

Shui Yun suddenly glared at him, her hand sliding down to grab a thieving hand below her waist.

"Junior Brother~" Her tone was menacing, drawing out the word.

Tang Wen feigned surprise. "Senior Sister, where did you find my hand? My right hand just wandered off, and I was about to go look for it. I can never repay such kindness. The only way is to offer you my body in return. Let’s go to the secret chamber!"

After practicing his Hard Skills at the clinic for three days, he now had urgent business worth hundreds of millions that he was desperate to "discuss" with his senior sister.

Never mind that her "time of the month" wasn’t over, making things... difficult.

If there was a challenge, he had to rise to it. If there wasn’t a challenge, he had to create one and rise to it anyway.

Shui Yun was fuming, but she suddenly broke into a radiant smile. "Alright, Junior Brother. Let’s go."

With that, she took Tang Wen’s arm, stood up, and walked toward the underground secret chamber.

Though Tang Wen felt something was amiss, he strode right along with her.

’What’s there to be afraid of? No matter what tricks my dear senior sister has up her sleeve, with my powerful Constitution—comparable to the Sixth Grade—I’ll be able to get my own back!’

「No. 7 Core Secret Chamber.」

For the next six months, it was exclusively Tang Wen’s.

A Stone Gate stood before them, looking unremarkable, but it felt heavy to the touch.

After the CREAAAK of the door opening, Shui Yun, a mischievous glint in her eyes, made an inviting gesture to Tang Wen.

"There’s a reward for you if you go inside, Junior Brother~"

She pressed a slender, pale finger to her red lips, her eyes bewitching.

"Really?"

"More real than solid gold. Now, get in."

Shui Yun gave him a shove. Tang Wen stumbled forward two steps, and his expression changed drastically.

’I can’t move.’

’No!’

’It’s so hard to lift my feet!’

"HAHAHAHAHA! Feeling it now, you little brat?"

Shui Yun was doubled over with laughter, but Tang Wen couldn’t afford to appreciate the sight. He muttered, "Gravity! It’s the gravity!"

"You even figured that out?"

Once she had laughed her fill, Shui Yun stepped inside. Her movements were clearly weighed down, but she was far more graceful than Tang Wen.

"Can’t move, can you?"

She approached with a wide grin, seizing both of Tang Wen’s hands with one of her own, pulling them up and pressing him backward.

Tang Wen found himself pinned against the stone wall.

Her sharp, phoenix-like eyes, her flushed, pretty face, her moist, red lips... A fragrant scent washed over him, followed by a warm, soft touch. It was enough to make a man lose himself completely.

*PANT, PANT, PANT...*

A single kiss left both masters gasping for breath.

Tang Wen’s mind went numb, his heart pounded wildly.

Under the amplified gravity, every single movement was a struggle.

But discovering the secret chamber was actually a Gravity Chamber made him exceptionally excited.

For a long time now, he had been figuring out the rules for gaining experience on his Panel.

If he trained conventionally, he would only gain experience at a conventional rate.

It wasn’t slow, but it was far from fast.

For example, it would take an ordinary person three to five years to advance a Sword Skill from Beginner to Mastery.

Since Tang Wen wasn’t constrained by the usual bottlenecks, normal practice would only take him a year or two.

But if he found ways to increase the difficulty of his Sword Practice—like training in water or with added weights—he could reap more experience in the same amount of time.

These methods were still not fast enough.

But he was limited by his knowledge, environment, resources, and abilities.

Tang Wen couldn’t think of a better method.

He never expected that after searching high and low to no avail, the solution would simply fall into his lap!

The Black Water Gang’s Core Secret Chamber was actually a Gravity Chamber!

’The heavens are truly smiling upon me.’

He could already imagine it: once he adapted to this ten-times gravity environment and then trained his Cultivation Techniques, his experience gain would be absolutely explosive.

"Senior Sister, what’s going on here?"

Tang Wen, holding the beautiful woman in his arms, was being uncharacteristically still.

Shui Yun glanced down at the large hand on her chest, scoffed under her breath, and leaned languidly in his embrace. "I don’t know either. It seems to be some kind of relic from ages ago."

"A relic?"

"Yes, a relic from some ruins."

Tang Wen nodded thoughtfully.

The two shared an intimate moment.

Afterward, Tang Wen headed back to the Armory, while Shui Yun remained behind to enter seclusion.

On the Stone Gate of the Armory, three large words were carved.

Shadow Concealed Blade

Just as Shui Yun had said, no one bothered to practice such an obscure Cultivation Technique.

He pushed open the door and entered without hesitation.

He sat quietly on a relatively clean meditation cushion.

Tang Wen immersed himself in the Contemplation Method for Shadow Concealed Blade.

After going over it three times, he understood.

All he had to do was envelop a Hidden Weapon with dense Dark Power, then use the Contemplation Method’s Throwing Skill to launch it.

Under the effects of Shadow Concealed Blade, the Dark Power would nullify all friction and sonic booms, while simultaneously acting as a sort of lubricant.

Thus, the launched Hidden Weapon would be silent and travel even faster.

Even after thirty repetitions, Tang Wen still didn’t understand the principle behind how Dark Power could nullify everything and conceal all traces.

However, having encountered various Visualization Martial Arts, he had long accepted that there would be some Contemplation Methods with principles beyond his comprehension.

It wasn’t just him; in reality, even powerful experts like the Queen and the Gang Leader didn’t fully understand them either.

’You don’t need to know the principles, just follow the instructions and learn!’

’As long as the Visualization is detailed enough and one’s Spiritual Power is strong enough, the move you execute will have power.’

’’I wonder what level of Martial Arts the creators of these Cultivation Techniques reached?’’

’’Or maybe I should be asking, what kind of academic degrees did they have?’’

’’If there was a research institute for Martial Arts, Physics, and Superpowers, you’d probably need to be a senior fellow to create a Cultivation Technique, wouldn’t you?’’

"..."

He meditated until his Spiritual Power was fully restored.

Then he continued to immerse himself in the Contemplation Method.

When it came to grasping Contemplation Methods, Tang Wen’s learning speed would plummet the moment he failed to understand the underlying principles.

He was far from a genius in that regard.

But his Spiritual Power was immense, and he recovered quickly.

An ordinary Extraordinary, even a genius, could study a Contemplation Method ten times over three days and still not necessarily master the Visualization Martial Arts.
