Chapter 603: Opportunity (2/2)

”That's a good point actually.” Henry murmured softly as he was momentarily lost on his own thoughts.

The team just finished their breakfast and as expected, Raven raised the issue with them. It wasn't just Henry, the other War Gods were considering his words as well.

The more they thought about it, the more Raven's words makes sense. An opportunity was presenting itself to them, if they ignored it and just let it pass like that, wouldn't that make them idiots as well?

””””Let's do it!””””

All the War Gods replied at the same time. Clearly, they weighed their options and agreed to grab the opportunity to get stronger.

”Well, I'm not surprised.” Raven replied. ”Okay, we'll be training then. Since our bodies already acclimated at the initial pressure, the first step is to make sure that we're completely acclimated to it first. Merely being able to withstand it is not enough, we have to make sure that we could fight under it's influence.”

”I'll be leaving the formation here.” Raven stated, ”Monitor your conditions properly. If you can't endure it anymore, just retreat into the formation and recover here.”

”Sounds good.” Logan stood up, and pumped his chest. He had a feral gleam on his face as he felt excitement rushing through his veins at the prospect of getting stronger. ”Okay! Let's do this!”

”Let's not get too excited first, Mr. Six Arms.” Theo smirked as he looked at Logan who's raring to go. ”Before you get out of there to increase your strength, why don't you honor the bet first and wash the dishes, eh?”

Logan was gobsmacked as Theo's words. He clicked his tongue in annoyance as he thought that he could get away from this but Theo just happened to be there to remind everyone.

”Oh! What a cunning bastard!” Henry sneered. ”You thought you could get away from this huh? Nope sir! Wash the dishes or else, I'll call you a sore loser forever.”

”Okay! Okay! I'll wash them! Geez. So annoying!” Logan snorted as he gathered the plates carefully using all of his arms and went away to wash them.

”Don't worry, you've got six-arms. You'll be done in no time!” Charles cheered him up with a knowing smile, causing Logan to glare at him and for the rest of the team to laugh.

After that little incident, the team then focused on their own training. They picked different spots in order to not disturb each other. So far, the remaining width of the road beneath them allowed them to do that.

South from where the formation was stationed, Raven could be found with his upper body exposed. He's currently doing a single finger hand stand, pumping his body up and down whilst enduring the overbearing pressure pressing his entire body down.

Sweat poured from his body, landing as droplets on the ground beneath him. Each pump his did caused the muscles on his body to flex, revealing strong outlines of his perfectly sculpted body. Raven closed his eyes as he felt the heaviness of his body, beneath his skin, his muscles were constantly pulsating in order to regulate the pressure throughout his body.

Raven could feel the soreness of his body yet he endure it all silently and didn't even show any changes on his serene expression,

”998...999...1000! Hooo!” Raven pushed his finger using a stronger force, causing his body to be lifted several inches away from the ground. He flipped his body and landed on his soles, causing cracks to form on the ground, displaying just how much weight was pressing him down.

After that exercise, Raven calmly sat on the ground to catch his breath. At the same time, he also circulated his Cosmic Energy to heal his torn muscles and alleviate the ache on his body.

Exposing himself under this immense pressure also allowed Raven to discover somethings. The most surprising of which is that, even his Cosmic Energy circulation was greatly impeded by the pressure around them.

Raven discovered this pretty early. Originally, he had a different training plan for himself but because of this surprising factor, he decided to switch it up. First, he needed to make sure that he could circulate his Cosmic Energy at it's regular speed under the influence of this mighty pressure.

Raven didn't know why his Cosmic Energy circulation was affected but even if does know about it, he can't do anything aside from acclimating to it. Therefore he didn't bother himself with useless thoughts.

So far, his exercise helped him a lot with this. Which is why during and after every work out, he will circulate his Cosmic Energy and allow it to adapt here.

This isn't only the training he planned on doing so far, but this was his first goal. Once he achieved it, then his Cosmic Energy Circulation would undoubtedly became faster once he this pressure disappears.
