Chapter 15: Cultivation Meditation Room, Gravity Amplification
The next day, while Yu Tianlin was still eating breakfast, Yu Jian arrived at his door.
"Greetings, Young Madam." After greeting Yu Rou, Yu Jian said to Yu Tianlin, "Tianlin, as instructed by the Clan Master, you will be training with me starting today."
After quickly finishing the last bite of rice, Yu Tianlin stood up and said, "Okay, let's go."
"Yu Jian, don't be too strict. Give Xiao Lin some time to rest." Yu Rou looked at Yu Tianlin with concern and said, "Xiao Lin, you should also take it easy and not overexert yourself."
"Understood, Young Mistress."
Yu Jian nodded, but judging by his casual attitude, anyone could see he was only humoring Yu Rou.
Yu Tianlin was also at a loss for words. It was both funny and exasperating. This kind of timed, focused training obviously had to be intense. They were even skipping classes for it. If they kept resting, what would be the difference from normal cultivation?
But Yu Tianlin understood. After yesterday, news of him absorbing the wrong spirit ring had spread all over the clan. His mother was worried he would feel pressured, so she was only saying this to comfort him.
"Okay, Mom, I understand." Yu Tianlin smiled at Yu Rou, then waved and left with Yu Jian. "Goodbye, Mom."
After leaving home, Yu Tianlin followed Yu Jian toward the clan's martial arts arena.
Along the way, everyone they passed cast various glances at Yu Tianlin—some surprised, some regretful.
Yu Tianlin could still faintly hear their whispers.
"I heard that Young Master Tianlin came back with only a ten year white spirit ring."
"That's not all. It's said his first spirit ring came from a plant type spirit beast with no trace of dragon blood."
"Really? That's such a pity."
Watching them walk away, Yu Tianlin felt speechless. This plot development—genius turned loser, everyone gossiping—felt far too familiar.
Shouldn't the next step be the fiancée showing up to break the engagement, followed by him shouting something like, "Don't underestimate a young man's potential!"
Wait. No, no. Yu Tianlin, get a grip. You don't even have a fiancée.
Shaking his head, Yu Tianlin snapped out of his thoughts and glared at Yu Jian. "Uncle Yu Jian, we only got back yesterday, and the entire clan already knows. You sure know how to talk."
"Ahem." Yu Jian coughed guiltily and explained, "This isn't my fault. After reporting to the Clan Master, I had just left the council hall when the elders summoned me."
"When they asked, I could only tell the truth. I never told anyone else after that. I have no idea how the matter was spread."
Yu Tianlin's heart instantly tightened, and he understood.
If it wasn't Yu Jian, then the only ones who could have leaked the news were the elders, who then stirred things up.
And the reason was obvious. They were afraid the Clan Master would go back on his word and give the Dragon Origin Fruit directly to him. So they leaked the information and exaggerated it, creating pressure from within the Clan to prevent Yu Yuanzhen from bending the rules.
Yu Tianlin was speechless.
These elders were too petty. It was just a Dragon Origin Fruit. Why make such a big deal?
Fine. The more unwilling they are, the more determined he was to win it. In four months, he would crush Yu Tianqing and prove himself.
As for Tianqing… don't blame him. Blame his grandfather for volunteering him.
Thinking this, Yu Tianlin's spirits immediately rose.
When Yu Tianlin and Yu Jian arrived at the martial arts arena, many people were already sparring. The moment Yu Tianlin appeared, countless gazes gathered on him.
Ignoring them, Yu Tianlin followed Yu Jian into the meditation room beside the arena.
The meditation room was large and spacious, without unnecessary decorations. The only noticeable thing was a one meter tall stone pillar in the center.
As soon as they entered, Yu Jian said, "Tianlin, starting today, you will be training in this quiet room during the day."
Yu Tianlin asked, "Uncle Yu Jian, what do I need to do? What's the training plan?"
"Hehe, don't be anxious."
Yu Jian chuckled and walked toward the center of the room, stopping beside the stone pillar.
"Tianlin, do you know what this is?"
Yu Tianlin shook his head. "How would I know something like that?"
"Since you don't know, you'll understand once you experience it."
As he spoke, Yu Jian placed his hand on the stone pillar and channeled his spirit power into it. Immediately, a yellowish brown light shone from the pillar and spread outward, covering the entire room.
The moment the light swept past him, Yu Tianlin felt as if he had sunk into a swamp. A heavy pressure bore down on his whole body. Caught off guard, he almost collapsed.
Fortunately, Yu Tianlin reacted quickly and activated his spirit power to resist the pressure, preventing himself from falling in front of Yu Jian.
"Haha, sharp reaction, kid!" Yu Jian laughed when he saw Yu Tianlin standing firm. "After experiencing it, do you understand what happened?"
"It's gravity amplification, right?" Feeling the pressure weighing on him, Yu Tianlin replied, "And judging by the weight, it's probably double."
Yu Tianlin currently weighed about fifty pounds, and the pressure on his body was also about fifty pounds. With simple reasoning, the gravity had doubled.
Yu Jian nodded. "That's right. The area covered by the yellow light has twice the gravity of normal."
"Uncle Yu Jian, how did you do that?" Yu Tianlin looked at the stone pillar and asked, puzzled, "What material is it made of? Why can simply injecting spirit power cause such a wide range gravity amplification?"
Yu Jian explained, "Tianlin, the important thing is not the pillar itself. The stone pillar only serves to conduct spirit power. The gravity amplification comes from the thing below."
