Chapter 37: The Shadows of the Basement

Poof.

About 300 meters of the runway, Lin You fell down with a 'poof'.

With the help of chestnut balls, he can be said to have run more than 150 meters.

Running here, the magic power in Lin You's body can no longer be described simply as sluggish, but as if he has a mountain on his back.

I thought that I would be able to adapt to the track by forcibly supporting the run, but now it seems that it is difficult to help much with willpower and physical instinct alone.

The core way of adaptation is the magic itself.

Only when the magic power in the body becomes apparently large can it be possible to conquer this runway in the true sense.

The help of chestnut balls is a 'plug-in' behavior, but it is not shameful and useful.

This is not a meaningless insistence, the longer you run on the runway, the deeper the magic will be refined.

Don't think it's better to run a certain distance and fall down and rest, then get up and run again.

Under the weight of mana, the effect of one-time tempering and intermittent tempering is completely different, even if it is just a momentary pause, it will have a great impact on the overall exercise.

"Damn, he's finally down."

A student who had stood up for the third time felt pity and a little relieved when he saw Lin You who had fallen to the ground.

It's a pity that because Lin You is only 50 meters away from the finish line, he almost completed the epic feat of completing the whole race.

As for being relieved, that's of course.

If Lin You really runs the whole distance, his self-confidence is afraid that he will be crushed on the spot.

In these years, I'm afraid that people are better than people!

It's just that even if Lin You has fallen, he can run a 350-meter result, which is really appalling.

Deng Yuxin fell less than 300 meters.

Could it be that in terms of willpower, Lin You is already above all of them?!

"Whew."

Lin You, who fell to the ground, didn't have time to care about what others thought of him, and he now had a feeling of dying, like a salted fish that was accidentally slapped ashore by the waves.

The pressure of the magic power has clearly disappeared, but he still feels a heavy feeling on his body, and there is a feeling of soreness from time to time all over his body.

"Coolies! ๏ผˆ๏ผ› ยดะด๏ฝ€๏ผ‰ใ‚žโ€

The chestnut ball flew over in distress.

"Good work, little one."

Lin You reluctantly turned his head and smiled sideways.

Immediately after that, I felt the magic flowing in my body, and when I lost the pressure of my mana, the flow speed of the mana returned to normal.

In this flow, I can clearly feel that it has increased a little bit compared to before.

As expected, it should have officially reached the level of 130 points.

"It's as efficient as you think."

Lin You was very satisfied with the results of this training, just one ultra-high-intensity training helped him improve his magic power by about 1 point, which was an immediate effect.

Moreover, aside from the increase in mana value, the mana itself has become more and more condensed.

The more condensed the magic, the deeper the integration with the duelist, and the better the effect.

In this way, after lying on the ground and resting for a long time, Lin You stood up again.

In the end, there was only fifty meters left, and although Lin You ran directly in one go, he didn't feel easy at all in the process.

This is undoubtedly normal, and completing an overload training does not mean that the trainer can easily complete the training with reduced difficulty immediately.

On the contrary, it can be extremely painful.

This is the after-effect of the first training force.

Of course, if Lin You can really adapt to the 350-meter intensity of track training, and then run 50 meters, it will be a piece of cake.

But this meal is not eaten in one bite.

The road is still very long, and you need to walk slowly.

After everyone's runway training was completely completed, Wu Jiayuan once again made a summary of today's training.

"Today, your overall performance is not bad, at least it did not disappoint me, and it also showed me your persistence and determination, I hope you can maintain it well."

After expressing praise and recognition, Wu Jiayuan's eyes suddenly fell on Lin You, and said in an unexpected tone: "Here, I have to praise Lin You alone, frankly speaking, his performance today surprised me." โ€

"The strength of his magic power is not outstanding in the class, and it is even ordinary, but with such magic power, he has persevered to such an extent, which is undoubtedly the embodiment of a big heart and great perseverance."

"Even if it is not obvious, it can be seen from today's training that Lin You's desire to become stronger is the most vigorous one in the class."

Speaking of this, Wu Jiayuan's eyes showed a strong appreciation, and he took the initiative to pat Lin You's shoulder and said: "This is very good, as a duelist, it is true that you can't rush for quick success, but you can't lose your determination to forge ahead." โ€

"Keep it this way, I have a hunch, you can go far in the future, don't have any worries because of the current situation." Wu Jiayuan seems quite optimistic about Lin You's future development prospects.

Lin You nodded secretly in his heart, Teacher Wu is very discerning.

But what does the latter sentence mean, worrying about the status quo?

Is it based on the three previous duels that he lost to Hu Yu because of practice? Or is it the amount of mana that he is relatively low in the class?

In this way, I am still a little underestimated.

Lin You smiled in his heart, but he didn't say much, some things are better to prove with actions.

"Alright, let's start training in the monster cabin."

Wu Jiayuan clapped his palms and shifted the topic to the main axis.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Tick, tick.

In the slightly gloomy basement, because the faucet could not be completely closed, the sound of 'ticking and ticking' was heard one after another.

Zizi.

An old-fashioned television with a graying screen is playing a program from the local news station.

In the program, the news about the 17-year dueling high school students is about to graduate.

Immediately afterwards, the scene shifted to the well-known dueling colleges and universities in Jiangcheng, as well as some interviews with school leaders.

During the interview, the leaders of several colleges and universities successively elaborated on the school spirit, environment, resource treatment and glorious history of the university, and expressed their warm welcome and expectation to the majority of students to apply for their own universities.

I also hope that more high-quality fresh seeds will emerge this year, and I hope that they can thrive in this school and become strong duelists who can take charge of themselves and contribute to society in the future.

"Boring."

In front of the TV, on a dilapidated sofa with cotton wool and cotton balls leaking in many places, sat a man with a disheveled head, wearing a gray shirt like a prison uniform, with a languid expression and a scruffy beard.

Click.

The man crumpled the beer can in his hand and threw it out, splashing the residual liquor that alarmed a gray mouse gnawing on moldy bread, and the mouse squeaked and disappeared into the hole in the corner of the wall.

The man spread his hands on the couch, his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling that flashed gray ghosting.

Knock knock.

There was a continuous sound of footsteps on the stairs leading to the ground, but the man seemed to be deaf to him, still looking up without looking.

Gradually, the footsteps approached.

"Gray wolf, it's still the same rotten old look."

A hoarse voice could not tell whether it was a greeting or a sneer, and someone walked into the basement.

Under the reflection of the cold lights, I can vaguely see that it is a man with a small white powder on his face, a big red nose, and a clown appearance.

"Gray Wolf" seems to be the code name for the languishing man, but he ignores the clown who accosted him.

The clown was not surprised at all that the gray wolf would react in this way, and gently touched his red nose, with a grim smile on his face, and said, "Good news for you, you can start enjoying your favorite things right away-"

"Dark Game!"

Just like an old puppet being replaced with a brand new clockwork, the man who was languishing just now, as if he had lost the meaning of life, has a new light in his eyes at this moment.

"If it's deception, I'll kill you, don't talk to me about the consequences." The gray wolf's voice was quite low and steady, but the exuding killing intent gave people a sense of coldness like falling into an ice cave.

The clown pretended to raise his hands in fear and said, "Don't do this, I'll be scared to pee my pants." โ€

In an instant, the gray wolf's eyes became extremely cold.

The clown secretly swallowed his saliva, this time he seemed to be really afraid, and hurriedly said: "To get back to the point, this time, the operation we are about to carry out was actually ordered by the president himself, in fact, the operation has been secretly carried out for a long time. โ€

"We've made a lot of preparations and gathered enough intelligence for that."

"How many souls can you devour?"

The gray wolf was not angry at the fact that the clown had hidden his actions from him, he only cared about his own concerns.

The clown smiled, and then said coldly: "How many souls? You're underestimating this action plan, and this time, we're targeting five schools. โ€

Hearing this, the gray wolf sat up straight suddenly, but then frowned, "Do you think this can be done?" โ€

He did yearn for the living soul of the duelist, but he was not reduced to a beast that was left with only desire and completely lost his mind.

The words of the clown, in his opinion, are nonsense.

But if that's really what the Lord meant, he doesn't care about giving his life for it.

The clown was well aware of his concerns, and immediately explained: "I have tested this city several times before, including me, and the result is as expected, Huaguo is indeed our most difficult country to penetrate, and their sense of crisis prevention is very strict, after all, this is the country where the 'world's strongest' was born. โ€

"However, our task is only to send some 'surprises' to the city, and for this 'surprise', the organization specially prepared five fresh 'big bugs' for us."

Speaking of which, the smile on the clown's face became more and more unbridled.

The gray wolf also instantly understood the purpose of his trip, and if he wanted to control that thing, he needed to gamble a part of his precious and qualified soul, and he was chosen as the 'victim' this time.

"When does it start?" That's all the gray wolf cares about.

"On July 3rd, at the graduation ceremony, I will tell you the specific plan of action before that for final confirmation."

The clown's last words were to quickly leave the gloomy basement.
