Chapter 43: A Pack of Dead Dogs
Yuebai felt that her legs were heavy, as if she had fallen into a quagmire. With every step I take, there is a sense of powerlessness that I want to fall down completely.
This is already the seventeenth lap.
At the beginning, because the weight on his body was much lighter than Yuebai's, he directly surpassed him by more than three laps. But after the tenth lap, Zuoku was already a little unable to hold on, and it can be said that he was struggling. In this seventeenth lap, Yuebai had already caught up.
At this time, the two walked side by side, and their clothes were already drenched in sweat. It was already noon, and it was the hottest time of the day. The sun shone hotly on the skin of the two of them, and there was a burning pain.
"I... I'm dying. ”
Zoku was as tired as a dead dog. The long sweat-soaked hair casually fell in front of him, which made him feel that the road ahead was uncertain.
Yuebai gasped and said, "It's coming, it's also... There are three laps. ”
The skin on the back of Yuebai's neck has been rubbed out of a bloody hole by the edge of the heavy steel leather coat, and if you take it off, you can see that the skin under the heavy steel leather coat has been pressed red. The muscles of Yuebai's whole body were overwhelmed with great pain, and the hand holding the knife was almost inintuitive. There were blood marks on the tiger's mouth that were about to crack.
But Yuebai still didn't stop, he still kept running forward. He was persevering, and at the same time he was reflecting on himself.
Ever since he killed Xu Bi by mistake, Yuebai has always been a little reluctant to kill people. Chen Cheng told him that Xu Bi was a scumbag who had harmed countless women from good families, and he was a person who deserved to die. Mercy should not be given to such people. After this period of time, Yuebai has also relieved this matter.
To do not kill a scourge is to connive at it to continue to harm others. Yuebai will be ruthless when necessary for this kind of person. For example, if there is enough strength in the hell on earth, if there is enough strength, Yuebai will definitely wash it in blood immediately! But Zuoku is just a teenager who is a little too proud. Yuebai's knee-jerk actions have caused consequences that may have threatened his life. This is something that Yuebai can't forgive himself.
Killing is the way of survival in the Heavenly Spirit Continent, but not killing indiscriminately is the bottom line in Yuebai's heart.
Yuebai glanced at Zuo Ku, who was already tired and about to collapse, lowered his head and whispered, "I'm sorry." With that, he accelerated and ran forward, leaving Zuoku, who hadn't reacted yet, behind.
"He's just in ...... Apologize to me?"
Zuoku was a little stunned for a moment. The strong have their own dignity. Although Yuebai has not yet grown to the point where he can truly be called a strong person, they are young talents who have a more arrogant heart than their elders. Zoku himself is a good example.
Zuo Ku asked himself, if he was Yuebai, would he apologize? The answer was 200 percent no. It's sometimes harder to get people like them to pull down their faces and apologize than to kill them. But it was this seemingly ridiculous thing that now appeared in front of him.
The sentence "I'm sorry" was still like a splash of water after the stone sank, stirring in his heart.
"This man... What's the matter, this person, is he a fool?" Zuo Ku scolded in his heart, but a faint smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"What a strange guy. Hey, wait for me!"
After another full hour, the twenty laps were finally finished. Yuebai lay on the cold ground almost collapsed, letting the sun prick his eyelids, he no longer had the strength to move, even if it was just moving his fingers.
Zuoku fainted on the ground as soon as he finished running.
It is impossible to last so long with the strength of the physical body alone, and it must be supported by spiritual power. Yuebai's spiritual power is endless, even if he runs these twenty laps, he is still at ease, but the burden of his physical body has reached the limit. If you persist, I am afraid that there will be hidden diseases that are difficult to cure.
But Zuoku's spirit rune has not experienced the enhancement of the secret method, and at this time, the spiritual power in the spirit rune has long been drained, and even the spirit rune itself has a feeling that the light is dim and blurred, and it seems that it will disappear in the next moment. Undoubtedly, it will take a lot of time to recover.
Cao Wu looked at Yuebai and the others, and nodded approvingly. He thought that the two of them would not be able to hold out at most ten laps, and they would be defeated, and they would even type several drafts of scolding them. Unexpectedly, they really survived.
This is pushing their limits, and it is impossible to survive without a strong will. Because of his special character, Yuebai had an obsession in his heart, so he ran down without hesitation. The fatigue of the body is suppressed to the minimum in the obsession of not being able to forgive yourself.
Zuo Ku is not as special as Yuebai. Originally, the seventeenth lap was already his limit, but when he saw that this weird boy who lowered his head and apologized to himself was still persevering, a fire was inexplicably ignited in his heart. I don't know what supported this almost impossible punishment.
Cao Wu's eyes also softened from the original sternness. He asked a few trainees to come over with some medicine and began to distribute it. At this time, it was not only Yuebai and the others who were lying on the ground, but those students who were greedy for rewards but lacked strength all fell to the ground as if they were dead. And none of them completed these twenty laps.
Because of the long-term squeezing of heavy objects, the skin under the iron leather coat is even a little blurry. The ointment provided by Cao Wu was only a slight touch, and an unbearable stinging pain could be heard. Suddenly, there were screams in the entire Fang Yi martial arts field.
Yuebai's injuries were handled by a female trainee. She also knew that strength was not her strength, so she didn't go to her own strength.
"Squad leader, it might hurt a little. She whispered. Her face was a little red at this time, only fifteen or sixteen years old, it was the first time for her to have such a close contact with the body of the opposite sex, and the other party was still an existence that she might look up to in the future.
Every girl will have fantasized that the other half who accompanies her for life is a majestic and handsome young man. Now they are the age of yearning for the love between men and women, which makes the female student's heart pound even more.
Of course, in fact, the most important thing is that Yuebai is handsome! That kind of snow-white skin that girls envy is the ideal prey in the minds of countless girls. If Yuebai is the kind of person whose facial features are distorted, scary, and terrifying, this girl will definitely feel that she has fallen into blood mold for eight lifetimes. As for what blushes and heartbeats, it is absolutely non-existent. It can't be helped, this world is real and desperate.
Yuebai smiled and replied, "It's okay, come on." ”
At this time, Yuebai's shirt had already been taken off along with the heavy steel leather coat, revealing the miserable upper body. When she lifted the upper half of Yuebai's body up and saw the blur of flesh and blood behind him, the female student was startled.
She said in a trembling voice, "You... Are you alright?"
Yuebai shook her head, but replied, "It's okay." But if you stand stupidly any longer, something may be right. ”
She reacted at this time, took out the special wound medicine prepared by Cao Wu, squatted down, and began to apply it gently.
At first, when the ointment touched Yuebai's wound, he hissed lightly, and his body trembled. But then, Yuebai forcibly endured it. During his two years of training in the forest, Elder Qiong taught him that patience is also a practice.
Yuebai is like a stubborn rock on the seashore, no matter how the waves wash him, he can't shake it. Female students listened to the screams of other people, and even some people were woken up alive, and naturally they could imagine how terrible the pain they had endured. But the seemingly delicate young man in front of him didn't even say a word, as if he didn't feel pain.
When a person is in pain, the body will subconsciously shrink back. But Yuebai even suppressed the knee-jerk reaction of the flesh. To have this kind of tenacious willpower is, in a sense, even more terrifying than the extraordinary strength he is showing now.
After helping Yuebai tie the last bandage, the female student said softly, "Okay." ”
Although the process was painful, Yuebai could feel that the pills were slowly repairing the broken muscles and skin, and even tended to become tougher and stronger. There is no doubt that the medicines given by Cao Wu are by no means ordinary.
After all the trainees were injured, the unconscious ones were lifted on stretchers. Still awake, Cao Wu made an inhumane request, that is, to find a way to go back after that. He doesn't care if he asks someone else for help or walks back on his own.
Some of the students who were completely unable to move heard this, and they all "fainted" very simply. Cao Wu didn't say anything about this practice. However, the evaluation of these students in his heart is undoubtedly one point lower.
Cao Wu's inhumane request is also very meaningful when you think about it carefully. If they hold on to go back, it will naturally be to train themselves. And asking others for help is to invisibly let these students who don't know each other get acquainted with each other. Although there is no shortage of lone heroes in the Heavenly Spirit Continent, the people who can become the overlord of one side are all well-connected. Socializing, too, is one of the things he wants to teach.
Before the disbandment, Cao Wu gathered everyone again and said: "In Guyuan Academy, as long as you are willing to work hard and work hard, the rewards you get will never disappoint you." For example, some people ran away, and some people didn't. I know you little ones who think you've survived are secretly having fun. But remember my words, and you will definitely regret it in the future. ”
Those students who "escaped" were a little unbelieving in their hearts, but Yuebai already understood. This so-called punishment is actually just extreme training in disguise. As long as you survive, it will be a huge benefit.
The most important thing is not the punishment, but the ointment provided by Cao Wu. Yuebai could vaguely guess that these ointments were definitely worth a lot of money, in addition to eliminating the hidden diseases left by extreme training, they must also have some additional benefits to the body. Those students who didn't run were naturally not eligible to use it. Even if they secretly kept some of them themselves, Yuebai estimated that if the body did not reach the limit state, this ointment would be useless when applied to the body.
Cao Wu continued: "How did you feel about the previous mirage?
"Yes!" everyone said in unison. Even though I had to face death head-on, when I thought about that convenient cultivation method, I felt like I couldn't stop it.
Cao Wu smiled evilly: "I think so, do you know how to get in later?"
The students were silent for a while, and then one of the students reluctantly replied, "I remember hearing someone say, what do you want... Guyuan coins. ”
"That's right, it's Gu Yuan coins. You've all taken out your ID cards. Is there a number on it?"
The students took out their identity cards one after another, and there was indeed a number on them.
"I'm ten. ”
"Me too. ”
Cao Wu continued, "Every freshman will have ten Guyuan coins at the beginning. This number on the ID card is the number of Guyuan coins you have. Guyuan Coin is not a physical currency, but more like a point. However, it is one of the only two recognized currencies in Guyuan Academy. ”
Immediately someone asked, "What about the other one?"
Cao Wu obviously guessed that they would ask this, and replied unhurriedly: "There is another kind of meritorious. But that's something that only the first thousand people will be exposed to, so don't think about it. You can understand Guyuan coins as copper plates, and merit as gold. ”
"Not to mention meritorious deeds, the Gu Yuan coin alone is enough for you to have a headache for a while. Do you know how many Gu Yuan coins are needed in an hour in the mirage?" he said, holding out a finger.
"One... A hundred?"
Cao Wu suddenly raised his voice and said, "It's a thousand!"
