Min’s mouth twitched in response. “You don’t seem to care that much in my eyes, though.”
Rean agreed with him, saying, “Well, that’s for sure. With my physical ability, just this much gravity won’t bother me. However, I’m not using my Enhancement skill.”
He then looked at the others and continued, “You, on the other hand, seem to be using a lot of Divine Energy to keep yourselves standing.”
Habac immediately explained, “Why do you think this test is so hard for those who aren’t demon beasts? Most of the humanoid races can’t resist this place’s gravity like the demon beasts. We are forced to keep using Divine Energy nonstop to neutralize the gravity’s force that’s trying to pull us down, you know? Even the demon beasts, if they aren’t some crazy strong ones, will have to use some amount of Divine Energy to keep themselves in peak condition in this place.”
Blansin agreed with Habac. “He’s right. I may be proud of my physique. However, I have to keep some flow of Divine Energy if I don’t want to be affected by it.”
Rean then touched each of their shoulders. “Then, let’s try my Enhancement skill.” The Enhancement skill was a pure body-enhancing ability. It was perfect for this place.
’Life Style, First Form, Enhancement!’
Immediately, Light Element entered each member’s body, greatly increasing their raw strength.
”Phew… that feels a lot better,” Habac couldn’t help but comment.
The others agreed with him. However, Rean warned them. “It’s only a temporary thing. My Light Element will be spent up sooner or later. At that point, I’ll have to use this skill again, so make sure you don’t stray away too far from me.”
Following that, Rean looked at Habac and asked, “So, what can we expect in this test? Is it some survival test again? Or maybe we have to traverse this Dimensional Realm under the effect of this gravity?”
”The second option,” Habac answered. “The Pressure Realm works almost the same way as the Soul Land. We will have to traverse it while many traps and other hindrances try to stop us. As you can expect, physical attacks cause a lot more damage in this place than attacks filled with Divine Energy or Soul Power. The best way to make use of it is to use Divine Energy to strengthen our bodies and then use physical attacks.”
Rean quickly understood. “The amount of strength one can display with that method will depend a lot on their original raw strength. It’s really a test made for cultivators with powerful body cultivation techniques. Of course, demon beasts too.”
Rean then shrugged his shoulders in response. “Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s go.” Soon after, Rean began to run in the front.
Erla, Habac, and Min looked at each other and quickly followed. With Rean’s Enhancement skill and their own Divine Stones, they should be able to make it through or at least have a good chance.
Last but not least, Blansin followed them from behind. However, little did the others see, but he didn’t have a good expression on his face as he looked at Rean far ahead. ‘I have to find a way to be alone with Erla.’
Meanwhile, Roan didn’t know what to do with Krikei. Krikei was obviously a Kipos Lake Spirit. Rean’s Enhancement skill worked wonders in living beings of flesh and blood. However, the effect of this skill in Spirits was limited to the point it could be called useless.
Krikei himself didn’t weigh much. However, the gravity still affected him more than anyone else. “This goddamn test…” he said with quite some difficulty.
Vrie, the demon beast in Roan’s group, was obviously taking it easy. Lita wasn’t faring that well but wasn’t doing so bad either. After all, the Enhancement skill worked well on her. “Krikei, you’ll have to use more Divine Energy. There’s no other choice.”
Krikei knew that they were right. “I truly don’t want to use that much Divine Energy. After all, it would affect our battle formation.”
Roan shook his head. “It’s still better than letting you drag us down with how much you’re suffering in this place.” Sure enough, Roan didn’t beat around the bush with his words.
Without much choice, Krikei began to drive even more Divine Energy to counterattack the effects of gravity. Only then did his floating body stabilize somewhat. “Fuck it! I’ve been saving Divine Stones for this moment, so I’ll use them!” Soon after, several Rank Two Divine Stones appeared around him as he absorbed their power. “Let’s go. The longer we wait, the more Divine Energy I’ll have to use. I’ll be counting on you if any problem arises.”
Roan glanced at him and said, “If you put us at risk, I’ll cut you down myself.”
”Yeah, yeah. Sure you will.” Krikei brushed Roan’s words aside as he started to move away. He wanted nothing more than to finish this test as fast as possible.
Last but not least, there was Kentucky and Celis’ group. Well… If Rean and Roan didn’t feel anything, then let alone Kentucky, whose body was even stronger than theirs. Celis, on the other hand, did feel the weight of gravity. Celis had a huge vitality, but his body’s strength definitely didn’t reach Kentucky’s level. If anything, in terms of resistance, he was below the twins and their Third Grade Star Bodies. “Kentucky, you will take the lead while we follow behind to give you support.”
Kentucky then looked at everyone and asked, “Isn’t it easier if I just use Rean’s Enhancement skill on them?”
Celis disagreed, saying, “Aren’t we here to train? It makes sense for Rean and Roan to use the skill. However, we’re demon beasts, so it’s better to rely on our own strengths.”
Kentucky could only agree with it…
Suddenly, Kentucky noticed that Rean was getting closer through their connection. The same was the case for Celis.
