Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 482 - 325: Internet Celebrity Heavenly King

"The population of the True Dragon Dynasty is very complex. As the highest ruling class, the True Dragon people account for less than one ten-thousandth of the population. With such a small population, they are able to rule over such a vast territory and subjects primarily because of the dragons themselves, as well as the power and bloodline derived from dragons. Depending on the species of dragon and the strength of their bloodline, the True Dragon people are also divided into clearly defined hierarchical classes..."

Covered in a five-ton weighted exoskeleton, Ji Xinghuo ran at a constant speed on the treadmill.

In a fivefold gravity environment, the weight he bore was equivalent to 25 tons.

His speed was not fast, averaging about 10 meters per second, with a stable stride, each step taking the same distance, as if measured with a ruler for standardization.

Thump, thump, thump...

In the midst of the heavy and regular footsteps, Ji Xinghuo did not breathe.

He had switched to internal circulation, with Star Power released from the Star Gland circulating within his body, replacing oxygen for his exercise needs.

The treadmill’s screen showed that Ji Xinghuo had been running for ten minutes, with only a slight sweat on his body, and his complexion very relaxed.

The Star Power rapidly depleted, and his physical fitness was being consumed as well.

Ji Xinghuo multitasked, focusing on the weighted running, maintaining a steady pace, while attentively listening to the lecture from the teacher on the large screen in front of him. The teacher was quite young, only in his thirties, yet an expert in the knowledge of the Star Realm.

The day’s lesson was "The Feudal System of the True Dragon Dynasty."

Occasionally, the teacher would pose questions, to which Ji Xinghuo replied smoothly and was able to extrapolate on the spot, sharing his insights and discussing the topic as if he was not in the middle of cultivation.

The teacher was already accustomed to Ji Xinghuo’s performance.

Soon, the Star Power hit bottom.

Ji Xinghuo took off the weighted exoskeleton, changed into his set of five cultivation garments, and entered the adjacent Ether Energy Gathering Room, lying down in the center on a recliner to recover.

As he moved, the projection screen followed him without interrupting the class.

As Star Power recovered, the lesson continued.

In less than half an hour, Ji Xinghuo’s Star Power had returned to its peak, and he immediately went back to the Artificial Gravity Room, increasing the gravity multiplier and lifting a 20-ton barbell repeatedly, performing bench presses with flawless form, without affecting his class attendance.

In this way, he repeated the process, completing a cultivation cycle almost exactly every hour.

Over the past half-month, Ji Xinghuo visited the Ether Research Institute daily. Not only did he have a 100% attendance rate, but he also cultivated for at least 15 hours a day.

Sometimes, when Zhao Manying left Chang’an to compete in away matches, he simply wouldn’t return home and could stay in the Cultivation Room for two days and two nights without coming out.

Such intense cultivation terrified Ke Mingshan and the research staff.

Ji Xinghuo’s body seemed to be eternally indefatigable.

No matter how long he cultivated the day before, he would be full of energy the next day, bursting with vitality. What shocked them most was Ji Xinghuo’s willpower; cultivation was tedious and painful, yet even the Heavenly King needed to balance work and rest, while Ji Xinghuo showed no signs of aversion.

Moreover, Ji Xinghuo managed to attend classes while cultivating, with his body engaged in high-intensity exercise, and his brain operating at high frequency as well.

The teachers who gave lectures to Ji Xinghuo were worn out.

Fortunately, the Star Realm Department had arranged for five or six different teachers, who took turns teaching various subjects, preventing any issues.

In just half a month, Ji Xinghuo earned himself a nickname at the Ether Research Institute: "Cultivation Machine."

He was like an unfeeling cultivation machine that didn’t need to eat or drink; as long as there was Star Power, he could operate.

Ji Xinghuo didn’t mind it; in fact, he relished it.

[Star Power: 9635]

In just over half a month, his Star Power had increased by more than 1000 points, which was faster than he had anticipated.

"Faster."

Ji Xinghuo silently calculated, "At this rate of cultivation, I should be able to reach the upper limit of Super Mutant’s Star Power by October."

"Today is June 16, I have three and a half months left."

He now had only one goal, and that was to advance to the rank of Legendary as soon as possible, then integrate "Overload."

"Let’s call it a day, Teacher Sun," Ji Xinghuo said to the teacher when the lesson was over, "I have other things to deal with later and need to leave the Ether Research Institute a bit earlier."

Teacher Sun nodded, "Okay, see you next lesson."

Interrupting his online class, Ji Xinghuo lay for about ten minutes in the Ether Energy Gathering Room, and once his Star Power had recovered, concluded today’s cultivation.

After freshening up, he walked out to the main hall outside the Cultivation Room.

There were sofas and coffee tables arranged here, provided for the mutants coming to the Ether Research Institute for cultivation, a place to rest -- not everyone could engage in non-stop cultivation like Ji Xinghuo. They needed breaks, and this area had gradually become an extremely secretive and most high-end circle.

After all, most of the mutants who could enter the Ether Research Institute were Legendary, including several Heavenly Kings.

Any one of them was a big shot in the outside world.

However, there were exceptions.

As soon as Ji Xinghuo entered the lounge, he saw his second brother Zhong Ming sitting alone on a sofa in the corner, silently listening to a few Legendaries conversing. He was like a novice who had accidentally wandered into a circle of heavyweights, listening without speaking, trying to minimize his presence as much as possible.

Even though Zhong Ming had been in the Ether Research Institute for half a month, every time he sat in the lounge, he couldn’t help feeling restrained.

Seeing Ji Xinghuo come out was like spotting a savior, and he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhong Ming waved his hand.

Ji Xinghuo’s arrival drew the attention of several Legendaries; he nodded slightly to them and sat down next to Zhong Ming.

"Has Man Ying not come out yet?"

"No," said Zhong Ming, "I also just finished cultivating not long ago."

Ji Xinghuo nodded slightly. Man Ying and his second brother were both competition mutants, who had to fight at least once a week and also attend club training, so they couldn’t soak in the Ether Research Institute every day like him.
