Chapter 22 Training Hall

Looking at the senior, Lu Jin knew that something bad was about to occur.

Not taking the invitation lightly, he asked, "can senior tell me what the gravity zone is?'

Seeing how cautious Lu Jin is, he wanted to lie about it but someone beat him to the explanation

"The gravity zone is where students train their movement technique, the gravity at the early stage is 3x higher than the gravity we are experiencing. The further you go, the more the gravity increases," Wun Zhan answered

"Thank you senior brother Zhan for explaining for me, can senior brother Zhan help explain the various purpose of the training hall for me?" Lu Jin asked, not bothering to hide his ignorant.

"There are five(5) training areas in the training room, the gravity zone for movement technique, the golem arena for attacking technique, danger zone for defence zone, the sparring arena for a match up amongst students and finally the sword room, where you can see sword scars made by sword intent of different types scattered on the ground and walls of the room, in the middle of the room was tablet, deep and powerful sword scars with sword intent were carved on it," Wun Zhan said as he tried his best to explain.

Hearing what Wun Zhan said, Lu Jin could not wait to just dive into comprehending the sword intent in the scars.

He asked, "is there a requirement in using the sword room?"

"Yes, one has to pay 200 academy's points for one hour or if you have comprehended sword intent, you can carve it on the floor and gain one month of free usage," Wun Zhan said

"So is junior brother Jin going to head to the gravity zone with me," the senior asked again

"If senior don't mind, then I will join in," Lu Jin said, ready to test himself

Going to the gravity zone, Lu Jin could see that students were gathered, ready to watch how the hall representative will perform.

In the gravity zone, one could see small round balls on the floor, the balls were of different sizes.

"The gravity zone is controlled by an elder, he activates the zone when someone enters and shut it down when the student is falls. The gravity zone is split into 8 stages, each stage increases the gravity and the number of balls."

"After you enter and take a step forward, the balls will attack you, the further you advance the more balls will attack and the faster it becomes. If you are hit by a ball and do not wish to continue, just lie on the floor, the elder will shut done the zone." Wun Zhan explained as he came along.

Seeing the gravity zone, Lu Jin knew he won't go that far. The movement technique he can use is sword dash, from the 9 basics of the sword technique. He has not comprehended the movement technique from Rustle Sword technique.

"Let go in, if anyone else want to join in the fun, he or she can come let go in together," the senior said as he walked towards the entrance to the gravity zone.

Following along, Lu Jin faced the entrance as he looked around, seeing the people that were motivated to participate.

"Elder, please activate the gravity zone," the senior said as bowed towards the sword room.

Stepping in, the senior turned and looked at Lu Jin, he said, "why don't we move at the same time, it will show who can advance more."

Hearing what the senior said, Lu Jin was not so foolish to accept the challenge, he said, "senior might be joking, only someone who is arrogant and too proud of his/her talent, will want to challenge a senior who is more than 6 ranks above him/her."

Hearing Lu Jin's reply, Po Dan was really disappointed that Lu Jin didn't accept the challenge, but was also impressed that Lu Jin was not blinded by his status, thinking he was the best among all sword students.

No longer bothered to continue, Po Dan used his movement and move through the incoming balls.

seeing how the balls move in a random motion, Lu Jin could see that Po Dan has a very high attainment in his movement technique.

"Junior brother Jin, I will go first," Wun Zhan said as he moved, not intending to lose against Po Dan.

Seeing the seniors moving inside and chasing after Po Dan and Wun Zhan, Lu Jin was stimulated.

Stepping forward, he used the movement technique of the 9 basics of the sword, *sword dash*

Thinking of chasing after his seniors, Lu Jin dodged the balls as he ran forward.

After dodging 9 balls, Lu Jin was hit on his shoulder, coming to a stop two other balls hit him, one on his thigh and one on his chest.

Lu Jin could not believe, just after dodging 9 balls, he was knocked down.

Seeing Lu Jin on the floor, some seniors still coming in and the ones outside mocked him,

"Trying to compete with your seniors, hmph, you should know your place in this place, sword young master," a senior said as he speed towards the students at the front.

Hearing that senior calling Lu Jin sword young master, students started laughing a they started calling him sword young master.

"Hahaha, the sword young master must be really useless to fail just after dodging 9 balls and moving four steps forward,"

"He wanted to run after Po Dan and got himself embarrassed,"

"Suit him right for being arrogant, even after he said was not foolish to challenge his seniors,"

Hearing the mockery from his seniors, Lu Jin was angry, but he was not angry about the mockery, no, not at all, he was angry at himself, he was very naive, due to seeing how easy it was for the seniors to move through the balls, he thought it will be easy.

Crawling back to the entrance, Lu Jin could hear how the seniors were laughing, but he didn't mind, he could not wait still everyone enters, then the elder will now shut down the first stage he was in for him to stand up.

Reaching the entrance, he didn't leave, he turned back facing the balls, taking a step forward, the balls attacked him, using the sword dash move, he dodge the balls.

He didn't rush forward, he alternated between moving forward and coming back, moving side ways, bending down, jumping and so on.

He continued until he could easily dodge the balls, moving forward, two balls joined the attack, the addition of two balls made it hard for Lu Jin to dodge as easily as before.

Due to him staying in the first part of the first stage, handling 7 balls, he could cope with the addition of two extra.

Through the process of getting use to the speed of the balls before moving, Lu Jin got to the second stage.

Feeling how the gravity increased, Lu Jin concentrated as the balls attacked. It was 7 balls, the same with the starting balls of the first stage, but the speed of the balls can never be compared.

The balls were even faster than the last balls he faced in the first stage.

Adapting to the speed, Lu Jin repeated the process of getting accustomed to the doors before moving to the second part of the second stage.

The balls increased by two and the speed increased.

Psi.... The hand of Lu Jin's uniform was torn by the ball, not stopping, Lu Jin continued, trying to increase his speed as much as possible, Psi... The waist of his uniform was also torn by the ball.

Not able to stop his uniform from getting torn, Lu Jin moved back to the first part of the second stage, then the fourth part of the first stage, then he continued still he reached the entrance.

Stepping out, Lu Jin could see that no one outside laughed at him.

Not bothering about it, he left to check out other training facility.

Seeing Lu Jin leaving, the seniors began discussing.

"He was able to move to the second part of the second stage with just a rank one xiantian realm and a basic rank technique,"

"Although some genius level rank one xiantian realm cultivators could even reach the third part of the second stage, they have all cultivated a mortal rank movement technique,"

"He is a genius, but to say he can represent the sword hall, he has not yet proven his self,"

"Who do you guys think will get to the highest stage?"

"The highest cultivation rank is the 7th rank of xiantian realm, if any of them can reach the fourth part of the fifth stage or enter the sixth stage, he/she will be the winner,"

"But it a pity that only six people have ever reached the last stage, the eight stage of the gravity zone, ever since the creation of the sword hall,"

"Xu Chan, who is the first xiantian realm cultivator of the sword hall, have not even reached the eight stage, but Nu Han, the third rank in the xiantian realm ranking, has reached"

"That because he cultivated the *Misty Sword* technique, that focus heavily on the movement of the body,"

"There is Duan Hu, who ranked first, cultivated the All Devouring Energy technique but still reached the eight stage, not even Xu Chan can compare to him,"

"It is said that in the core students ranking, he is placed second, with only the Lighting Demon placed higher than him."

Hearing the name, lighting demon, all the students shivered.

Lighting Demon is said to be born with the body of lightning. The body of lightning is a special physique, it gives the owner the ability to master any lighting attribute technique.

From the martial prince realm, a cultivator has the ability to draw energy qi from the environment, harmonizing with it to launch an attack way powerful than when using only their energy qi.

"Having a lighting physique, makes it possible for Lighting Demon to harmonize with lighting energy qi above his rank, thereby remaining no.1 for over two years, without stepping down,"

"He is indeed a Demon, having a Monstrous talent for cultivation,"

After leaving the gravity zone, Lu Jin headed straight to the golem arena. What he was most good at, is his attack.

Entering the arena, Lu Jin heard a voice, "use your attacking move three times on the golem, it will learn your attack, then use a more perfect one than the one you used. The longer the battle, the more perfect the golem's attack will be."

Lu Jin was shocked, the ability to perfect someone's technique in such a short period of time wasn't something even a martial prince is capable of.

When he remembered that he was now in the sword hall, Lu Jin calmed down, the sword hall was no longer just a screening process, it was the main deal.

Using the rustle sword technique, Lu Jin used the storm slash technique only, it was the technique he was most familiar with among all his mortal rank battle technique.

Releasing his life spirit, Lu Jin used the lighting attribute sword spirit, it increased the attacking power and speed of the storm slash technique.

After three attacks, the golem no longer defended, Lu Jin and the golem exchanged blows after blows, if it was a tie before, after four blows, Lu Jin was been pushed back, seeing the way the golem use the sword technique, Lu Jin tried to understand the difference between them.

Trying to understand the golem while fighting, it caused Lu Jin to make some mistakes that the golem took advantage of.

After Lu Jin breakthrough to xiantian realm, he is now able to use mortal rank battle technique repeatedly.

"Why is it that after two attacks, his next attack turns stronger, then goes back to the strength it was in the first two strikes, before growing stronger in the third strike," Lu Jin asked himself, racking his brain to understand.

Each attack from the golem was getting stronger, getting perfect and more difficult to withstand.

BOOM! Lu Jin was thrown off the stage after the fifteenth strike from the golem.

Good day everyone............
