Forsaken Immortals Chapter 161
Advertisement
Bai Rouyun was aware that many used weights to improve their physical performance; she had also done so in her past life.
Realizing that this was an upgraded version of that, she could not help but nod her head in approval. While the weights had not done much for her, it had a small effect on her speed, and the smoothness with which she could execute her movements and her techniques.
If this Gravity Tower worked the same way, then she would be able to feel the pressure on her entire body, and not just on her wrists, ankles, and waist.
This was indeed much more beneficial, and would produce better results. It was no wonder that experts joined factions and academies, as these places had the resources and facilities to groom real experts.
The rascally senior could not help but raise an eyebrow when he saw Bai Rouyun's contemplating expression. He had initially thought that she was merely trying to fool and annoy him by asking about the Gravity Tower, but upon noticing her solemnity, he realized that she was serious.
But it was also reasonable. This young woman had joined the Blue Water Institute just recently, which meant that she came from a low-ranked country, and more importantly, belonged to the mortal world.
She had no way in which she could know about Gravity Towers from her earlier life, but somehow he had been fooled by her appearance and her aura, thinking of her as an equal, and not as a student.
Bai Rouyun was grateful for the man's explanation, and she did not cause more trouble as she signed up for entry.
"You can stay within the tower for two hours at a time with your current strength," he said with a nod of his head, as he swiped her identity token over the book.

"I have subtracted the mission points needed to stay within for two hours, so use them well!"
Bai Rouyun gratefully nodded her head and thanked the elderly man before accepting her token once more, and moving towards the entrance door.
She could feel a fluctuation in energy, and knew that as soon as she had passed the door, she would enter a formation which increased the gravity.
The formations were created so that the heaviest pressure was in the middle of the formation, which was why the tower was shaped like a circle.
This was the same for each floor, and when Bai Rouyun entered, she found that many of the new students had arrived as well.
These new students had not gotten far into the gravity room, they were all resting next to the walls, and after they had rested enough, they would try to slowly move towards the center again.
The purpose for these new students was not to train their body, nor was it to get a smoother control over their abilities, but to mainly get used to the pressure.
One had to crawl before they were capable of walking.
Bai Rouyun had also felt the pressure from the formation. She could feel that her body was not comfortable under such heavy pressure, but she was aware that currently, no damage was being done to her body. The only thing the pressure caused was some discomfort in her body.
She took a deep breath and raised her hand. The Qi within her body was sluggish and moving exceptionally slow due to the heavy pressure, but she still spent her time rotating it within her meridians, and slowly ignited a small flame on her palm.
The flame was faintly red, as she had broken into the Innate Realm, Red Tier, Second Layer just recently, and she had not had the time to consolidate her advancement.

The higher her layer would be, the deeper the shade of red her Qi would become. When she moved on to the next tier, the color of her Qi would once again change to a lighter version of the color her tier would have.
Many glanced at Bai Rouyun as she entered. The newcomers frowned as they recognized her, but the older students did not care.
Most of the older students would have moved to the higher floors, but a few had come to the first floor for the sake of testing their reaction speed.
Bai Rouyun completely ignored everyone around her, and began practicing her martial arts and her movement technique.
While the Flowing Feather Step was her movement technique, and amongst the most elusive and swift movement techniques that existed on this continent, her speed while using it was only comparable to her average speed outside the Gravity Tower.
Realizing this, Bai Rouyun could not help but frown. The Gravity Tower was indeed much better than relying on weights, and she nodded her head in approval.
She was not in a hurry, she had two hours, and thus she slowly made her move. At first, she was moving at the very edge of the room, but as she got more and more familiar with the pressure, she also tested her limits by slowly inching closer to the center.
The experts within the Gravity Tower were replaced slowly. The new students could not stay for much longer than two hours, so they were replaced quite frequently.
Of the ones who had been in the Gravity Tower before Bai Rouyun, no one tried to copy her moves. Still, after the people had been switched out, many saw Bai Rouyun's movements, and they wanted to copy her and experiment with their own techniques before getting used to the pressure.
Some ended up vomiting blood, while others rapidly retreated to the walls of the tower. Bai Rouyun could not help but raise an eyebrow in surprise. Just because she could do it did not mean that others could as well.
