Gradually after two hour the healing on Michael's body slowed down as the destruction on his body slowed down too, it was correct his body was adapting to the crushing gravity.

After he felt his body was no longer hurting Michael transformed to his Demi-Cheetah form and while protecting his whole body with qi he rushed toward the stairs.

With his whole protected he rushed nonstop excited because he could go further, in the midst of that excitement he stopped because he saw that the Heart Qi in his heart was bluish transparent because the qi that he mainly used is form there.

Seeing that his main cultivation node was about to fall to the Gas Stages, Michael stopped at the 607th stair as he is still counting it and sat down there as he released his transformation and qi protection and he felt a huge pain in his head and thinly protect it so his head could adapt too but he only felt the small prickly pain on his body just like the 90th floor from before but in just five minutes it vanish and in a dozen minutes more he could release all the qi protection on his head but the transparent part in his original Heart Qi increase.

It seem to activate this adapting function cost a lot of my cultivation base not just qi Michael thought. He sat down there looking around bored but then he saw a hole on the 600th stairs so he went there and still the hole couldn't be seen trough just like the entrance of this Gravity Stairs and he remembered that Aria said that I could get level up pills in this place sometimes.

So nonchalantly Michael stuck his hand inside and wiggled around his hand until his hand touches something cold, feeling the familiar coldness he grabbed that thing and took out his hand. Indeed that it was the pill bottle similar to the one he saw.

Thinking that maybe! Juts maybe there an other one he was about to stick his hand inside the hole again but Michael discovered the hole is gone, even when he inspected it a few times it juts looked and felt like the other walls around it with glowing moss on it.

Michael then went back to 607th before deciding to go to 610th instead since the difference isn't big he didn't felt any pain, then excitedly Michael opened the porcelain bottle and ate the level up pill.

Weirdly the moment it entered his mouth it turned into the ball of qi, hurriedly Michael guided the qi down wanting to guide it to his heart but when he got to the throat part the ball of qi was consumed by the node there and the spinning tornado of qi that was combining the qi in the node with the one in the pill while attracting more qi.

Thankfully he made all these nodes otherwise in these gravity concentrated qi environment, the qi that was attracted will be more concentrated and compressed than outside so it would be wasted since only with one node and one main node it won't be able to absorb all of it but Michael wondered if the new adapting function will allow him to strengthen his body with qi permanently.


Still the heart qi in has recovered enough to have the same color as the new qi heart in the throat node, it's colour is sky blue both of them and the others node have a tinge of blue on their transparent heart but Michael had a harder time determining if it were middle or later gas stage.

Since it has recovered Michael determined himself to al least reach 1000th stairs although he was having a little hard time remembering the number but he will.

Transforming into his humanoid cheetah Michael begin to charge his speed as lightning sparks went in and out of his body, suddenly he rushed out toward the upstairs.

The Charge slowed down at the 650th stairs and Michael run to the upstairs with a lower speed although it couldn't compare to the real cheetah in it's normal running speed yet Michael thinks if it were Melinda she would reach it in Middle or Later Liquid Stage, as for his copycat power he think it would need at least solid stage to reach that speed.

Weirdly on the 800th stairs Michael found another hole that couldn't be seen trough it's darkness, he stuck his hands inside and found an other pill , this time Michael focused on the hole just right after he pulled out his hand and as expected the hole was gone in instant just like it was an illusion.

Preserving Michael felt that the cheetah form couldn't hold it anymore in the 850th and he switched to the eagle one but still he moved rather slowly compared to before because he felt when he ran the gravity is burdening him a lot more than when he just walked.

In the 937th stair even his qi protected eagle form couldn't handle it so Michael took the pill and released his transformation and qi protection except the one on his head just right after he put the level up pull on his mouth, in the end when it was mixing with the qi in the throat node it was consumed but as for the qi that it attracted it benefit the other qi nodes and Michael was sure that previously the other qi nodes was in Middle Gas stage as the nodes right now, they are at the Later Gas stage that was about to jump to Early Liquid stage just like when he overdraft the Heart Qi in his heart.

Still the result was very good as he looked at his naked body as the clothes was even destroyed by gravity in what stairs it was, he didn't remember, he saw a body that looked a little like both of bodybuilder and athlete since his muscle looked as ripped as bodybuilder but his body is still lean and he could felt he still had his flexibility.

Now Michael was confident that even with his normal well considering it could survive the gravity 93.7 times the earth's gravity is anything but normal considering average adult human probably could move on 2 or 3 times the earth's one.

Finally Michael reaches the 1000th floor with his 'normal' human body, as the basis of the transformation ability is multiplying the user's physical ability, he think if it were outside as long as Melinda didn't use her charge ability he could surpass her speed without any transformation.

Then his gaze fell into the particular depression on the wall, the familiar hole that he had encounter two times before, the level pill hole!
