As the Combat faculty's most popular training ground, it was also an important training ground that supported the faculty's finances. The Lava Chamber was indeed special. There was a magma fire vein underground that ran through the entire mountain and extended to the bottom of Green Forest Lake.
It had a long history, and was recorded in the history books. A thousand years ago, there was no lake in this place. There was only a volcano that was famous back in the day.
Now, the terrain had changed over the past thousand years, forming Green Forest Lake. As for the fire vein, it was buried. It was only after Ethereal Dao College chose a location and experienced the Spirit Inception Era that they had the ability to draw it out, forming the Combat faculty's Lava Chamber.
The area was huge, and from afar, it looked like a gigantic beast's head.
The beast's glabella had a flaming totem. Even at night, it seemed to burn incessantly. And after entering the beast's mouth, one would enter deep into the Combat faculty's mountain. There were more than a hundred sealed cultivation rooms.
Every cultivation room had an array formation. Once it was activated, it could control the flow of Earth fire, causing the temperature of the cultivation room to reach an alarming level.
Typically, those who could enter the Lava Chamber were at the perfected Lifeblood realm. They wanted to use the high temperatures to forcefully seal off all their pores to insulate themselves from the heat and help them enter the Physical Seal realm.
After all, the three major levels of the Ancient Martial realm were all about building a foundation. They had to create a perfect body under the present circumstances. Lifeblood was for the exuberance of one's life, allowing one to support the astounding transformation of a mortal.
As for the Physical Seal realm, it was to seal off all the pores in one's body, isolating them from the outside world. While forming one's own body, it also prevented one's Lifeblood from leaking out. With minute control, not only would one's explosive strength exceed one's Lifeblood by a lot, one could also advance towards the Pulse Enrichment realm.
It was also because of the unique characteristics of the Physical Seal realm that the Lava Chamber had extraordinary supplementary effects to a certain extent. In theory, if one had sufficient perseverance and came here despite being on the brink of death, they would be able to activate the fire vein to a certain extent. Under the high temperatures, they would either die from the heat or successfully reach the Physical Seal realm, allowing them to break through their Lifeblood!
However, such ruthless people were rare. Typically, it would be impressive if one could last for more than two hours. Even Zhuo Yifan only lasted for six hours.
Ever since the Spirit Inception Era, only one had appeared in Ethereal Dao College in the past thirty years. This person had been in seclusion in the Lava Chamber for three days and three nights, creating a legend that had yet to be broken.
His identity was that of the previous President of the Federation. It was said that after he walked out of the Lava Chamber, he said something that shook the entire Ethereal Dao College. Now, it was a famous saying of the Dao Enlightenment faculty and was praised by countless people.
"I'm comprehending the Dao!"
It was late at night. When Wang Baole's figure rolled over and directly rushed into the beast's mouth, there were still many people cultivating in the magma room. Although there were fewer people than during the day, the cultivation rooms were still 90% full. On the display board outside, he could only see that the indicator lights of seven or eight cultivation rooms were not lit up.
As for the beast heads, there were people going in and out of them. In fact, there was no need for anyone to guard this place. All the seclusion rooms inside required the identity card of a Dao Academy student to enter.
As for the cost of Spirit Stones, it was also settled through the identity card. To this day, no one dared to owe the Combat faculty's burly men who were dedicated to cultivating ancient martial arts.
Although there were many students going in and out of the magma room, Wang Baole's speed was too fast. Many people only felt a gust of wind and vaguely saw a red fatty running. Before they could see his appearance clearly, he had already disappeared.
However, Wang Baole still underestimated his influence …
"I think I saw a red meatball …"
"It looks a little familiar … In my memory, I think I have a vague impression of it." Outside the magma room, a few Combat faculty students who were about to leave were stunned. After looking at each other, their eyes suddenly widened.
"Wang Baole! He became fatter again!? "
Amidst the exclamations outside, Wang Baole ran deep into the beast's mouth. After finding an empty cultivation room, he hurriedly took out his identity jade pendant and activated it. He squeezed his flesh and entered with great difficulty. Only then did he close the door after letting out a long sigh.
"If I were any fatter, I wouldn't even be able to enter …" As he rubbed his aching belly, Wang Baole felt even more indignant.
The cultivation room wasn't large. It was less than ten square meters in size. When other students came, it would be very spacious. However, after Wang Baole sat down, he looked around and immediately felt like he was sitting in a tiny cage.
This feeling left him depressed. He subconsciously wanted to grab some snacks to vent his anger, but when he realized that he had left in a hurry and didn't bring any snacks, he went a little crazy.
"I want to lose weight!" Wang Baole gritted his teeth and angrily found the array formation's control panel. He pressed it hard and immediately, hot air rose from the ground. The hot air instantly filled the entire chamber. Other than the spot in the middle that was considered normal, the other areas faintly turned red.
Under such high temperatures, Wang Baole found it difficult to breathe even though there were ventilation holes. It took him some time to recover, but he couldn't stop sweating.
Others would attempt to seal their sweat pores, but Wang Baole did the opposite. He stretched his body as much as possible, opening all his sweat pores to absorb the heat …
"It's still not enough!" Wang Baole wiped his sweat. After sensing the spirit fat in his body, he adjusted the temperature again. Immediately, the originally scorching heat increased significantly.
However, Wang Baole still felt that it wasn't enough. Hence, after adjusting the temperature again and again, even the surrounding walls turned red. Although his mouth was dry and he even felt like his organs were about to be cooked, he was overjoyed to discover that the spirit fat in his body slowly showed signs of disintegrating when the hot air entered his pores.
"The heavens have eyes!" Wang Baole was immediately excited. He hurriedly maintained his current heat and sat there with his eyes closed. He felt the spirit fat melt as though it was an ordeal.
Although the high temperature made him feel like he was about to be cooked, the pleasure of watching his fat melt made him grit his teeth in excitement and persevere.
Two hours passed. Wang Baole was still persevering. Four hours passed, six hours passed … It was already dawn outside.
The Combat faculty's Lava Chamber never lacked students. Every morning, there would be a queue of people waiting to enter. At that moment, everyone was in no hurry as they waited. This was because there were more than a hundred rooms in the Lava Chamber. Most of the people who entered would have to leave in less than two hours.
Very soon, people began to leave and enter. When the people waiting were bored, they would either chat with each other or look at the lights on the indicator board. As long as one light was extinguished, it meant that someone had walked out.
Gradually, it was noon and then dusk. Batches of students entered and exited. It was at this moment that a student who had been waiting for a long time with sharp observation noticed an anomaly.
"That's strange. Room 39's light … doesn't seem to have been extinguished. Has anyone seen it extinguish before?"
He had only said this out of curiosity to the students beside him, but slowly, when everyone carefully recalled that they had never seen the light extinguish before, the students outside the Lava Chamber were immediately alarmed.
This was especially so when they realized that Room 39's light was still on even after two hours. The shock in their hearts was immediately indescribable.
"Quick, look at Room 39. Heavens, I've been observing it for four hours. It hasn't been extinguished. I remember that it was still on during the day!"
"There's such a thing?"
"Are you guys seeing things? How is that possible? Zhuo Yifan is the one who took the longest. He only took six hours."
As the crowd discussed, this rare phenomenon immediately piqued their curiosity. Hence, a group of people decided not to cultivate that day. Instead, they sat outside the Lava Chamber to observe.
Their breathing quickened, and their eyes slowly widened ….
Several hours later, when it was late at night, the number of students outside the Lava Chamber increased. There were no less than a hundred of them. Everyone was dumbfounded as though they had seen a ghost. There were incessant discussions as many of them immediately sent voice transmissions to their friends. And on the Spirit Intranet, the matter had already blown up.
"An impressive person has appeared in the Combat faculty's Lava Chamber!"
"According to a rough calculation, the impressive person in Room 39 of the Combat faculty's Lava Chamber has lasted more than twenty hours!"
"He has broken the record. He has completely broken Zhuo Yifan's record!"
The thread on the Spirit Intranet instantly spread throughout the Lower Academy Island. When the students of all faculties saw it, they drew a gasp. Everyone knew about the Lava Chamber, and there was only one person in history who could last more than twenty hours in there. Now, it was the second person!
It would have been fine if Room 39's light was extinguished, but under the attention of countless people on the Lower Academy Island, Room 39's light remained on until dawn!
As a result, the entire Lower Academy Island was in an uproar. Even the teachers noticed it, not to mention the students. No one continued to enter the Lava Chamber. They were all outside, staring at the only room that was still lit, Room 39's light.
"Heavens, it's been almost two days …"
"He's challenging the previous Federation President!"
"Who is he? I'm offering a reward of ten Spirit Stones. If there's any clue, I'll immediately send it out once it's confirmed!"
Be it in reality or on the Spirit Intranet, all sorts of discussions erupted. Finally, two nights ago, the Combat faculty students outside the Lava Chamber posted a notice on the Spirit Intranet!
"The impressive person in Room 39 of the Lava Chamber is … Wang Baole from the Dharmic Armament faculty!"
"I can swear that I saw him wearing a specially-recruited student robe and flying away with my own eyes!"
The moment this was said, the other faculties did not think much of it. They were only skeptical. However, the Combat faculty students who had been dealt a blow by Wang Baole were completely enraged. Zhuo Yifan and company were especially incensed as they charged straight for the Lava Chamber.
