Chapter 76: First Encounter with Park Jong-Hwan

Translator: Strivon Editor: Strivon

It was better to find a construction job and turn that sweat into money.

This was the understanding that Qin Fen adhered to for many years.

Gravity chambers number four contained ten chambers, ranging from 1.1 times gravity, 1.2 times gravity, 1.3 time gravity… all the way up to two times gravity.

“Being a soldier is great.” Qin Fen looked at the door to the ten gravity chambers with a satisfied smile on his face that reached his eyes. “Not only can you eat well and live well, there are even places that let you waste your energy for free.”

The female soldier servicing the service desk looked at Qin Fen with great interest. The way this recruit spoke was very interesting. The recruits who just entered boot camp would always be completely drained of energy from their training, leaving them to curse endlessly. Those who didn’t curse would mostly choose to be silent.

Such a tone today where Qin Fen praised camp with heartfelt sincerity was really a first for her since she started servicing the desk.

The female soldier cast a glance at the gravity chamber’s sensors. Nobody training had yet to faint nor show physical discomfort, as she could see on the screens showing the ten gravity chambers.

Assured, the female soldier came to Qin Fen and said, “Hi!”

“Hello.” Qin Fen kept his manners.

“Is this your first time with gravity chambers?”

“Yes.” Qin Fen nodded.

Astonishment flashed within the female soldier’s eyes. Gravity chambers weren’t really new things. Young people were curious at heart. They would often choose to try out a gravity chamber once they were of legal age to. Very few people never experienced a gravity chamber by the time they entered the military.

“Then you’ll need to take note of a few particulars when it comes to entering a gravity chamber.”

“Okay.”

Qin Fen was a cautious person. He heard that someone had died from entering a gravity chamber before; the person’s heart couldn’t withstand the pressure.

The female soldier took out a small booklet and handed it to Qin Fen. “Passing the military medical examination is proof enough that your body won’t have any problems when entering the gravity chamber.”

“Oh.”

Qin Fen had a serious expression by habit, all from his past few days with his drill instructors. The female soldier felt that it was a bit cute. Often, the people who came to the gravity chambers were loud and rowdy. It was rare to see a boy as cute as this!

“Even though your body won’t have any problems since you passed the medical examination, I still suggest you do a warmup for the sake of your body’s organs and to avoid mishaps. There are rules about this, you know.”

Qin Fen looked at the particular items in the booklet. Indeed, there was suggestions on how to best warmup the body. Of course, if one believed that their body was super strong, one could choose not to warm up. It wasn’t a hard rule.

After reading the booklet in detail, Qin Fen asked, “Where should I do my warmup?”

“Right here~.” The female soldier returned to the service desk, “Is this space big enough?”

Qin Fen looked at the large hall, a space of four or five hundred square meters. This was enough space to jog around.

Since he had never entered a gravity chamber before, Qin Fen decided to follow the directions in the booklet. He massaged his legs, stretched his back, and gently jumped. In the end, he went through two sets of the Shaolin Arhat Fist’s stances, warming up and opening his body.

The female soldier stared at Qin Fen with great interest. He was the first person in the last three months to do warmups before entering a gravity chamber, right? He was also the person to warm up his body the most in the past year, right? How interesting.

“Which room do you want to go to?”

Qin Fen thought for a moment and decided it would be best to go do 1.1 times gravity. If he felt it was fine, he would stay there. If he felt that the gravity wasn’t enough, he would switch to 1.2 times gravity.

“1.1 times.”

“Okay, this way.” The female soldier then whispered, “If you can, its best to do another warmup after you enter.”

“Okay.” Qin Fen nodded. The booklet has mentioned this suggestion. This warmup was to adapt to the atmospheric pressure as quickly as possible.

He opened the door and entered the room. In this three hundred square meter space sat a few people, yet no trace of Du Peng could be seen.

Qin Fen gently warmed up with some punches and kicks, as he did so, he speculated to himself. Could it be that I warmed up too well a moment earlier? I can feel that the gravity is different upon my body, but I don’t feel any sense of strain. Neither do I feel the sensation of my inner organs being tempered like the booklet says.

Was the gravity too light? Qin Fen performed a set of the Shaolin Arhat Fist, confirming his speculations after collecting his energy. Not only was the gravity here not threatening enough to his inner organs, it wasn’t enough to temper his body. It probably wouldn’t help much in cultivating the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art.

Qin Fen walked out of the 1.1 times gravity chamber. The female soldier had long since seen it on the sensors. She was already standing in front of the door to the 1.2 times gravity chamber. She laughed and said, “It looks like you have a very strong body. So, enter 1.2 times then.”

“Sorry to trouble you.”

Qin Fen gave a gentle nod. It was because of his negligence that the female soldier had an increase in workload. As someone who knew work beyond any doubt, Qin Fen’s gaze carried a bit of apology.

“It’s nothing. In you go then.” The female soldier smile reached both corners of her lips as she watched Qin Fen enter the 1.2 times gravity chamber. She said gently, “How very interesting. This recruit even apologized.”

The female soldier carried this smile for not even a minute when her gaze turned into that of slight surprise. She quickly stood by the door to the 1.3 times gravity chamber.

Walking outside the 1.2 times gravity chamber, Qin Fen apologetic smile grew thicker. “I’m sorry for bothering you again.”

“No worries. You really are strong. It’s good to have such a quality soldier amongst recruits.”

“Really. Thank-you for the compliment.” Qin Fen was normally quiet, but he always had manners. As long as someone talked to him without malice, he would answer back very politely.

Qin Fen’s eyes lit up the moment he walked into the 1.3 times gravity chamber. There was finally someone familiar here.

Of course, the people he was familiar with in recruit camp were far too few. There could only be one person he was familiar within the gravity chamber. Du Peng!

Du Peng sat cross-legged in the corner of the room. He had a very grave expression. It looked like he was going for a breakthrough.

Breakthroughs weren’t easy matters. Sometimes it was normal to attempt ten times to breakthrough and have all attempts end in failure.

There was one more person who drew his attention in the room besides Du Peng.

This person wasn’t wearing a military uniform. Upon his slender skeleton was a fitting white Daoist uniform. It was the Neo Taekwondo Daoist uniform that was extremely popular in modern times.

This person was very young. His eyes were tightly closed in unwavering determination, and a pressuring and bold drive faintly seeped from his forehead.

Was this Park Jong-Hwan of the State of Korea’s Neo Taekwondo? Qin Fen stopped his footsteps as he carefully studied this person who moved not an inch. The young man’s body exuded the steady air like that of a mountain.

Very powerful. He was truly very powerful! Qin Fen’s martial senses and intuition told him this. Qin Fen had yet to see this man’s martial arts nor his on the spot reactions, but just from the man’s aura, Qin Fen reckoned that a battle between them was a fifty-fifty in victory or defeat.
