Zhou Yang was in disbelief and immediately squatted down to remove the black hoop. However, he didn't expect that the moment the black hoop left the statue's claws, it would become extremely heavy. Even with the strength of two tigers, he could barely move it.
"This thing is probably 20,000 pounds." Zhou Yang said as he tried to put the black hoop into his storage ring. However, to his surprise, he realized that he couldn't. "Haha … Don't even think about it, kid. This thing can't be put into a storage ring." The dragon spirit laughed.

"Why?"
Zhou Yang frowned. He knew that a storage ring couldn't store living things. However, this was clearly a treasure and yet it couldn't be put into a storage ring.
"You won't understand even if I tell you. Try putting it on your wrist." The dragon spirit said mysteriously.
"Put it on my wrist."
Zhou Yang didn't think too much and put the black hoop on his wrist. However, at that moment, the wrist suddenly tightened and locked his hand tightly. A sharp pain followed and then the black hoop disappeared.
"What's going on?"
At that moment, Zhou Yang felt his body become many times heavier. He instinctively sat on the ground as if he was being crushed by a mountain.
"Don't panic. This is a good thing for you." The dragon spirit laughed.
"A good thing … You better explain it to me."
Seeing that Zhou Yang's tone had turned cold, the dragon spirit didn't joke anymore. It said solemnly, "This thing is called the Body Locking Hoop. It can lock your body. In other words, it will make your body's weight reach the limit that you can bear."
"Body Locking Hoop, weight …"
Zhou Yang carefully sensed and it was just as the dragon spirit said. After his body was locked by the Body Locking Hoop, the weight he had to bear was almost the strength of two tigers. However, his body itself only had the strength of two tigers.
Helpless, he could only use his Pure Qi and use it to get up.
"Kid, in the future, unless you are fighting, don't use Pure Qi to resist the weight on your body." The dragon spirit reminded.
"You mean you want me to use the Body Locking Hoop to train my body? But I can't get up at all. How am I supposed to train?" Zhou Yang asked.
"It is precisely because you have not cultivated that you are unable to stand up. Forget it, you can now use a little bit of True Qi to be able to stand up and move. However, you must remember not to completely dissolve it," the dragon spirit said.
Zhou Yang nodded. In this place, he would not use a large amount of Innate Qi to make himself move freely, because bearing the weight of these two tigers would consume a lot of Innate Qi. He only needed to ensure that he could walk.
He adjusted his zhenqi a little, got up, and walked into the darkness.
"How far away is the treasure you mentioned?"
After taking a few steps, Zhou Yang felt that his feet were extremely sore. He instinctively mobilized some of his Innate Qi.
"I don't know. However, I feel that it's very close." Clearly, the dragon spirit was feeling uncertain as well.
Time passed slowly. After a quarter of an hour, Zhou Yang finally saw the end.
There was an abyss at the end, and the abyss was pitch-black.
"Don't tell me you want me to jump down?" Zhou Yang frowned.
"Looks like the time is not ripe yet." There was a hint of disappointment in the dragon spirit's voice.
"What opportunity?"
"I had thought that this treasure was ownerless. However, it seems that it is sealed here. Before the time is ripe, no one can get it," the dragon spirit said.
"The seal is here … Are you talking about the winged people up there?"
"I don't think so. Perhaps they are here for the treasure as well."
Zhou Yang took a deep breath and decisively turned to leave.
Since he could not get it, staying here would not bode well for him.
Along the way, he was not stingy with his Innate Qi. He only stopped to regulate his breathing when he arrived outside the mass grave.
"Alright, now it is time to talk about this Body Locking Hoop. You made me wear this thing. How am I going to face my enemies in the future?" Zhou Yang was a little unhappy. He knew that this thing was a treasure that could help him cultivate his body. However, the situation was dire and he was in desperate need of a strong combat power. At this time, the Body Locking Hoop would only reduce his combat power.
"Don't worry. I know that this is a critical period. If there is no solution, how can I let you wear it?"
"What solution?" Zhou Yang asked anxiously.
"It is naturally impossible for you, but I have a way to help you unlock the Body Locking Hoop. However, I am very weak right now. I can only unlock it for the time it takes to burn a stick of incense at most, and I can't unlock it for you every day," the dragon spirit said.
Zhou Yang let out a sigh of relief. Although the time it took to burn a stick of incense was not much, it was enough for a battle.
"Your task now is to cultivate. Cultivate as hard as you can. It would be best if you can move freely without Innate Qi before the King of Youth Tournament. At the very least, you cannot lower your combat power because of this."
"Before the King of Youth Tournament? How is that possible? Unless I fuse with a Golden Qilin." Zhou Yang frowned. Fusing with a Golden Qilin would increase his body's endurance. When that time came, he would not have to worry about the restrictions of the Body Locking Hoop.
"You are dreaming. The reason why this Body Locking Hoop is a treasure is because it will increase in weight as your body grows. Even if you fuse with a Golden Qilin, it will be useless. When that time comes, you will still be the same as you are now," the dragon spirit said disdainfully.
"This …"
Zhou Yang pursed his lips. After a moment of silence, he stood up. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
The Body Locking Hoop was a treasure. He could not treat it as a burden, even at a time like this.
The greater the pressure, the greater the motivation. Perhaps this was the best time to obtain the Body Locking Hoop.
Immediately, he dispersed his Innate Qi.
Boom!
His body crawled down instinctively.
With both hands on the ground, he tried to stand up.
Standing up was something that even a child could do. However, it was extremely difficult for him at the moment. This was because his body weighed more than ten thousand pounds.
However, he also knew that his body's weight was equal to his strength. As long as he persisted in his cultivation, he would definitely be able to move freely and even regain his original combat power.
Otherwise, the Body Locking Hoop would not be considered a treasure.
"Haha … Kid, I like your temper. Persevere. One day, when you feel that the power of the Body Locking Hoop will not affect you in anything, you will have succeeded. When that time comes, once the Body Locking Hoop is removed, your combat power will surprise even yourself."
The dragon spirit laughed continuously, seemingly extremely happy.
"Shut up!"
Zhou Yang roared and stood up abruptly. His forehead and face were drenched in sweat.
Just standing up had consumed too much of his energy. It was more tiring than practicing a sword for an hour.
"Everything is difficult at the beginning. You have already made a good start. Now take the first step," the dragon spirit shouted.
Zhou Yang took a deep breath. After his body recovered a little, he slowly lifted his feet.
