A few days later,
Only six months remained until the Grand Magic Games celebration.
Other teams were also carrying out their own suitable training methods in various places.
Laxus gazed at the Thunder Release secret art given to him by Zorn, his eyes firm and full of determination.
He led several members of the Thunder God Tribe towards the mysterious valley where he once cultivated Thunder Release Kirin with Zorn.
This valley was permeated with an extremely dense concentration of lightning-attribute magic particles.
These powerful energies were like a fish in water for someone with lightning talent like Laxus.
This would undoubtedly become an excellent place for him to break through and improve his strength.
At the same time, Mirajane also embarked on her training path with Elfman and Lisanna.
During this period, Zorn meticulously planned a concentrated special training program for the remaining members.
Lucy, Natsu, Gray, Juvia, Wendy, Gajeel, Erza, Ultear, Meldy, and Kana were all included in this training list.
...
East Forest
Fairy Tail's specific training ground
"The first item is for you to use magic within this range!" Zorn said with a smile.
Before he finished speaking,
Before anyone could react, Zorn stretched out his right hand and lightly snapped his fingers.
In an instant, an incredibly powerful force erupted from his hand, quickly converging into a massive golden-yellow magic circle.
This magic circle enveloped everyone at an astonishing speed, leaving them nowhere to escape.
Immediately after, something incredible happened—gravity and pressure increased several times in an instant, pressing down on everyone like a heavy mountain.
"Ah~ so heavy..." Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and others groaned in pain, their bodies involuntarily pressed to the ground.
At this moment, even simple actions like lifting their heads became extremely difficult, their entire bodies felt solidified, unable to move.
Meanwhile, the ground also could not withstand such immense pressure and began to crack layer by layer, forming countless cracks of varying depths, as if the entire earth was about to shatter.
Facing the sudden change, Erza, Kana, and Ultear, whose strength far surpassed Natsu and the others, demonstrated their power as S-Class Mages.
Although they also felt incredibly heavy, they still managed to prop up their bodies with their hands with stubborn willpower, trying to stand up again.
However, even so, they could only barely maintain their balance.
The strength displayed by Erza, Kana, and Ultear was astonishing.
Even Zorn couldn't help but nod in praise: "As expected, this level is still quite simple for you three!"
However, precisely because of this, Zorn decided to add more to them—directly doubling the difficulty!
Before he finished speaking, the three girls, who had just barely managed to straighten themselves, suddenly fell heavily to the ground with a loud "thud," as if crushed by a huge mountain.
Erza widened her eyes, watching everything that was happening, her entire body resisting the unbearable gravity, deeply shocked by Zorn's learning ability.
It should be known that although everyone can learn multiple types of magic, in the end, they will still focus on one type of magic that suits them.
And specialize in one.
But it is extremely rare to see someone like Zorn who has cultivated every type of magic to such a refined level.
And can wield them effortlessly.
For Gravity Magic, with just a snap of his fingers, he could instantly cast a powerful gravity field and precisely control its range and intensity.
This level of control over magical power was simply beyond imagination!
Holy Light Magic, Dragon Slayer Magic, Gravity Magic...
He was also a Great Swordsman, whose sword skills had reached the pinnacle; coupled with his unparalleled expertise in physical combat, he was simply an all-around genius!
Facing everyone's surprise, Zorn merely smiled faintly, without explaining much.
Zorn's lips curled into a slight smile as he replied, "You need to freely use various types of magic in this force field environment."
He then added, "And you must use offensive magic to break through the Spriggan Shield in front of each of you!"
As he spoke, Zorn stretched out his palm and, with a gentle wave, cast an incredibly sturdy Spriggan Shield magic in front of everyone. This Spriggan Shield had rendered great service in countless past battles, and its defensive power was top-notch.
"What!"
In this gravitational environment, we still have to use offensive magic to break this Spriggan Shield.
Right now... we can't even make a single move, how can we possibly accomplish this...
This was the only thought left in the minds of Lucy and Meldy, the two girls.
Lucy is a Star Spirit Mage, and Meldy uses the lost magic, Grudge. Neither of the two girls had experienced physical training before, and at this moment, facing such gravity, they only had the thought of it being impossible to complete.
"How interesting! Things have come to this, and you want me to give up? No way! This is just the beginning... I need to increase my strength!" Natsu clenched his fists tightly, pressing them hard against the ground, using all his might to incredibly difficultly prop up his upper body.
He was breathless and panting, even when speaking.
"We can't give up either..."
At the same time, Gajeel and Gray emphasized each word, also gritting their teeth and struggling to hold on, just like Natsu. Every movement they made seemed extremely strenuous, and their skin was flushed red from exertion, clearly having given their all.
"Why... can't... you even spare us little kitties..."
At this moment, Happy, Carla, Lily, and Simi, several cats, were also painfully lying on the ground, muttering weakly, their voices muffled and intermittent, sounding aggrieved and full of suffering.
"Of course, it's to make you stronger! So, all of you, put in more effort!" Facing everyone's questions, Zorn not only did not hold back but responded with a playful smile.
However, despite his relaxed words, his hands never stopped moving for a moment.
He quickly put on his sunglasses, sat down on a chair, and in the blink of an eye, a comfortable recliner appeared out of thin air beneath him, steadily catching him.
And on the table next to him, there were all sorts of snacks and tea, looking very leisurely.
"Ah, so delicious..." Zorn took a sip of juice and sighed at the beauty of life.
He lowered his head, pulled down his sunglasses with one hand, revealing his eyes, and meticulously explained the most important point to them: "Oh, by the way, this is a great opportunity to train your mental power. If you can calm down in this environment and use your own magic power to communicate with nature..."
"Then your magic power can be smoothly increased."
"Feel the earth, the wind... the air... with your skin, adjust your breathing, and merge with nature."
"Haha, oh right, you guys can't even get up, so saying all this is useless. Keep working hard!"
"Once you achieve what I said, you'll pretty much be able to break through the Spriggan Shield in front of you!"
After Zorn finished speaking, he put his sunglasses back on and continued to lie down.
In the training ground, only the sounds of everyone's panting and bodies rubbing against the ground remained.
There was no other way; although this method was the most arduous, it was also the most effective training method.
