Reaching the tier 0 limit

Over the next 5 days, Max trained like an absolute beast. He gained merit points all night and spent 13 hours of the university time all inside training chambers trying to maximize his training time, cutting back even on lectures. 

He pushed his body to the absolute limit inside the gravity chamber, training under 12G, even though his body could only handle 9G environment barely for the full 10 hours, pushing himself through sheer grit and tenacity so that he may see some small gains faster. 

He asked the medical nurses to mutilated his body till the very limit and to make the stinging healing water even more potent, as he did not care about the pain, and only wanted the results. 

The reason why Max pushed so hard was because he knew perfectly well which tournament his brother talked about.
