Zhang Yong would have been carrying twenty-five kilograms on his back, if he hadn't lifted his skills before plus the hundred thousand year old torso bone was solid enough otherwise to break his back from the weight.
And so they continued
When they arrived in front of the academy gate, the teacher was standing there looking at them as they returned from their first session. The teacher said:
"Drink a little water and then continue."
There was a bucket containing warm, slightly salty water. Under the teacher's orders, they were allowed to drink only one cup, then go back to running.
There was not a drop of sweat on Zhang Yong's face, but unlike the others as they showed some exhaustion
As time passed, the sun shone brighter
In the sky, with intense heat on their faces, but thanks to the break in the water, they had enough strength to endure it
In the midst of this intense heat, they had already run four courses
Every time they returned to the gate, the teacher was waiting for them with the same bucket of warm, salty water
When they started the fifth cycle, Oscar and Ning Rong's speed slowed down, their vision was blurry and their legs were shaking quickly. He helped Zhang Yong stand up and made them lean on his shoulders.
"Not yet, don't fall."
Zhang Yong was the one who carried the most weight among them, and yet he helped them both, and that left a deep impression on them
With Zhang Yong's help, the weight fell off their shoulders slightly and they continued running at the same speed as the rest
And so they reached the eighth session. Zhang Yong's vision was blurry, sweat was covering his eyes, and he was carrying Ning Rong Rong in each arm. However, his body was fuller. He was following the sound of the others' footsteps. He could hear the sound of everyone's groans of fatigue near him. After losing his vision, he could Hear sounds clearly
The eighth session, however, passed two full hours in the heat
Sweat was flowing from all of their bodies, yet they continued running
Zhang Yong heard Ma Hongjun's voice from behind:
"I'm dying, I'm dying"
One by one, everyone stopped and panted for five minutes before Ma Hongjun said:
"We already missed lunch, how about we slow down, if I keep running I might die."
Then Dai Mubai said:
"Slow down? Haven't you noticed that the warm water provided by the teacher has not changed in temperature, even though we become slower after each session? This means that the teacher knows our physical strength well, and there may be additional punishment if we slow down. In the end, this training is beneficial for us. You fat man, give me." "your weights"
Ma Hongjun's tone was shocked as he said:
"Can you handle it, President Dai?"
"Remember, fat man, a man shouldn't say he can't."
Dai Mubai picked up Ma Hongjun's stones and placed them in his basket
Tang San walked to Zhou Ziqin's side and said:
"Let me help you"
When Tang San raised his hand to take the stones from Zhou Ziqin's basket, she immediately dodged him and said:
"I can still keep going, you and Zhang Yong will run two more laps than us, you have to maintain your strength."
Calmly, Zhang Yong got away from Ning Rong Rong and Oscar, wiped the sweat from his face, and placed their stones in his basket. The weight reached thirty-five kilograms. Zhang Yong was aware of his limits, yet he would not abandon his comrades because of this.
Zhang Yong laughed next to Ma Hongjun:
"You see, fat man, men should be great. Get up now and continue, and don't worry about lunch. When we come back, I will cook for you myself."
Upon hearing that, Ma Hongjun got up from the ground with saliva dripping from his mouth and continued running
Then they arrived at the academy gate and drank the water provided by the teacher
When they started the ninth cycle, Zhang Yong's steps were heavy and then suddenly a little light
Tang San had taken five kilograms of Zhang Yong's stones but he did not speak, not that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't. Naoto's thoughts were trapped:
'I can hear my stats increasing'
This training was of great benefit to Zhang Yong, and soon Soto City was looming on the horizon
At this rate everyone finished the ninth cycle Dai Mubai shouted:
"Let's persevere, guys, there's only one round left."
Even though everyone was tired and exhausted, they pushed themselves to their limits
The last session has begun
After a kilometer, Oscar and Ning Rong Rong took their stones from Zhang Yong
After two kilometers, Zhou Ziqin passed her stones to Xiao Wu
Three kilometers later, Ning Rongrong fell to the ground unconscious
The group's condition was deteriorating
Without any choice Zhang Yong said:
"Tang San, give me your rocks and carry Ning Rong Rong."
He immediately without discussion gave his rocks to Zhang Yong and carried Ning Rong Rong on his back, while Zhang Yong got Rong Rong's rocks.
After a kilometer on the way back, Oscar fell unconscious and Zhang Yong carried him along with his stones, and Zhou Ziqin retrieved her stones.
After another two kilometers, Yuan Ling fell to the ground and Zhang Yong carried her stones. Zhou Ziqin fell unconscious so Dai Mubai barely carried her and Zhang Yong took her stones.
Five hundred meters to the finish, Zhang Yong had carried the stones of five people alone with Oscar on his back, Zhang Yong had already lost track of time around him.
Dai Mubai carried Zhou Ziqin
Tang San Ning carried Rong Rong
Zhang Yong held an Oscar
Oscar and Ning Rong Rong woke up and each of them tried to stand up from the back of the person carrying them
Everyone was already consumed
From afar the teacher's stiff face could be seen, at least they had reached the end
When they stood in front of the professor, all seven of them fell at the same time. The ones left standing were Zhang Yong and Tang San. The others' mission was over, but for them, they still had two steps to go.
Zhang Yong looked at Tang San and smiled with difficulty as he panted:
"It seems that there is only us left."
The two were panting, before they heard a voice:
"Wait....I'll accompany you."
The voice was Xiao Wu's, but she still tried to stand up until she stumbled and fell back on the ground. Then another voice came out, which was Dai Mubai's:
"I will accompany you too."
Dai Mubai approached and was about to fall but Tang San supported him before they both finally fell unconscious
Zhang Yong laughed:
"Hehehe, you still know how to relax, well I should go alone then."
This time Zhang Yong put the basket on his back again and pulled his long hair back
He started running, this time his start was a little faster than before. He ran a little until he had passed the gate by fifty before he also stumbled.
He falls to the ground from exhaustion
"It seems I've reached my limit... how pathetic I am."
With these words, Zhang Yong fell unconscious like the rest
When Zhang Yong woke up, he was in the dormitory and felt warmth surrounding his body from every direction. At first, he thought that this was due to the influence of the Small Tree of Life.
When he looked at his body, he was completely naked, and what was worse was that he was in a hot water barrel
I feel the nutrients and plant scents coming from the water
"Is this an herbal bath? Its properties seem to be refreshing and treating fatigue."
His fighting spirit was from the plant branch and thus it brought him some knowledge about it. Determining the properties of plants is easy, but that knowledge was not enough to know the plant by its effect, so it was one-way information.
He looked around the room and Tang San was in the same position as him, but still asleep, Zhang Yong thought that his fighting spirit had accelerated his treatment and absorption of the medicinal benefits in the water.
Zhang Yong stood in the middle of the tub and then got out
"Let me take a look at my status"

"Huh, my stats increased just a little bit and I gained a little emotion points, I have to ask the teacher to give us punishments like this."
He quickly changed into his usual clothes, then he spotted a piece of paper next to Tang San's bed, he came closer and took a look and it was written on it
"Go eat when you wake up."
Zhang Yong quietly placed the paper next to Tang San and walked out of the dorm
He walked slowly towards the dining hall, from afar he could see its lights
When he entered, the place was empty, but the tables were full
There were nine classes. He sat in front of one of the classes and found another piece of paper written on it
"When you finish, wash the dishes and get rid of the water from the barrel. Don't go to sleep, but plant. We will meet tomorrow for class."
The paper had the same font as the paper in Tang San's room
When he looked at the food in front of him, the food was rich,
It consisted of a fragrant piece of meat, five steam buns, soup, and a plate of vegetables and fruits
All of it was immediately eaten by Zhang Yong, he was already feeling extremely hungry, who would refuse food while it was in front of him?
Then he heard the sound of a door opening, the one who entered was Dai Mubai
Dai Mubai looked up and saw Zhang Yong, "Oh Xiao Yong, you are here."
Zhang Yong smiled lightly, "Boss Bai, it seems like we lost consciousness when we wanted to run."
Dai Mubai laughed lightly as he sat next to Zhang Yong, "True, it was a difficult training, and it looks like we will have to endure it for the coming days."
Zhang Yong looked towards his plate and sneered, "Yes, and it is good training, not only will it help build our bodies, but especially for Beast Spirit Masters like you, it will be a great increase."
Dai Mubai looked lost in thought and asked, "Xiao Yong, I heard from Oscar that you helped him in his matter with Ning Rongrong."
Zhang Yong was a little surprised. It's not like he didn't expect this outcome, but he really wondered what Mubai was going to say. "Yes, but it's not like I did anything. I dropped a piece of advice or two. What's the matter, Big Brother? Is there something you want to ask? I'm not an expert, but I'll do my best."
Dai Mubai smiled lightly, "It's…about Ninth Sister, but I don't know what to do?"
"I see." Zhang Yong's expression changed slightly, "But I thought you were an expert with women. I didn't expect this question. I'll tell you something, Big Brother. With all due respect, but you made a big mistake."
Dai Mubai's eyes widened for a moment, "What do you mean?"
Zhang Yong sighed for a moment, "Listen to my question and try to answer it. When a man walks through a flower field and finds a flower he likes, what will he do?"
Dai Mubai crossed his arms for a moment before answering, "He will pick it, of course, but what does this have to do with my situation?"
Zhang Yong smiled slightly, "It has a lot to do with it. He picked the flower, but it will die after some time. The person who likes the flower will pick it, but the person who loves the flower will take care of it. But you, brother, burned it, but fortunately for you, the root is still there. The point is that you overthink it, you think about it from your side and not from the side of the other person you care about. For you, you like her, but because of her situation, you bring her end. How would you feel if you were in Zhou zhuqing's place, if you saw her with two men at the same time? "
Dai Mubai's expression changed to a mixed one, "Of course I'll be angry."
When he said that, Dai Mubai felt a sudden moment of realization
Seeing his expression, Zhang Yong smiled gently and patted Dai Mubai's shoulder, "You seem to be starting to understand, think about what I told you, I'm leaving to rest."
Zhang Yong got up and went back to his room. He emptied the barrel as the paper requested, and Tang San was still asleep.
He climbed onto his bed and sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and began cultivating
