"Come on, come on! Hold on, you can rest in ten laps! This is not only a test of your physique, but also a tempering of your heart, hold on!"

In the third training ground, the three of them were wearing the special equipment that Sakai had prepared for them, and they were running wild in the field.

Hearing that there were still ten laps to rest, Pengyan, who had always been calm, was a little broken, and couldn't help but say, "Whew...... I, I don't understand, shouldn't this kind of training method be unique to Mr. Xiao Li! Why does Mr. Sakai do the same!"

"Haha, Pengyan, men are expensive to persevere! You won't be impossible, right?"

Unlike Peng Yan's pale face, the leader Baicha breathed quite smoothly, obviously, this bit of physical exertion was not taken into account by him. Glancing back at Xiao Nan who was running at the end, Baicha gloated and said, "Look at Xiao Nan, she is a girl, she didn't say anything." Penghiko, you're weak. ”

Hearing Baicha's ridicule, Peng Yan gritted his teeth and scolded: "Idiot......! She, she's obviously too tired to speak!"

............

After three laps of painful running, Tomohiko began to gasp desperately, gulping down the air he desperately needed, and only when the cool air entered his lungs could he feel a little pleasure. But even so, the burning sensation coming from his lungs reminded him all the time - I need more!

"Whew...... Whew......"

"Come on, Penghiko, I'm almost done. ”

"Whew...... Whew......"

Baicha, who ran behind Penghiko, although he was not as easy as he was at the beginning, still had the strength to show off his physical strength to him.

As for Xiao Nan, she was not far in front of Peng Yan, moving with difficulty.

............

After three laps, Tomohiko's muscles began to tremble involuntarily, and his mind was already empty, no longer thinking about air, rhythm, and soreness, and only repetitive mechanical movements with the subconscious in his mind.

"Give up, give up, why do you want to persevere? I feel so tired......

"Grandpa wouldn't be happy to see me being 'abused' like this, would ......he?

"But I'm not only a physical artist, ninjutsu, illusion or something, it's okay......, right?

The thoughts in his heart flew wildly, and Peng Yan wanted to give up more than once, but I don't know why, whenever he decided to stop and rest, he always came up with the words that his grandfather let him remember.

"Take the completion of the task as the first priority, never give up, not arrogant, not impatient, not angry, not discouraged, and be a qualified ninja. ”

“...... Never give up...... Be a good ninja ......"

............

After three more laps, Tomahiko was left with one last lap left to reach his goal.

At this point, Tomohiko seemed to be back to reality, feeling the weakness coming from his limbs under the drag of the equipment, as well as the pain in his lungs and the soreness in his muscles.

"I, I can't do it anymore...... Call...... My throat is so uncomfortable...... My heart is beating so much......"

I don't know if it's because of the sweat left in his eyes, Peng Yan felt that his consciousness was a little blurry, Xiao Nan, who was still in front of him one second, disappeared without a trace the next moment.

"Whew, whew...... Last lap...... Last lap...... There was only one last lap...... Come on...... Come on......"

............

Just when Penghiko was making the final sprint, Baicha helped Xiao Nan, who had fallen off his strength, to Sakai's side.

Seeing Peng Yan staggering, as if he would fall down in the next moment, Baicha no longer had the ease of making fun of Peng Yan just now, but asked with a worried face: "Teacher, Peng Yan is he okay, right? If this continues, I'm afraid his body will not be able to bear it." ”

"It's okay, he just broke through the upper limit of his heart, he hasn't reached the limit of his physical fitness yet, it won't damage his body, go back and rest for a few days, it'll be fine. ”

Looking at Tomohiko's unfocused eyes, Sakai also put away his old smile and explained to Baicha and Konan seriously.

"Tomohiko ......"

Seeing Peng Yan's slow but firm figure, Xiao Nan whispered his name, and tears filled his eyes.

............

"Last lap...... Never give up...... Ninja...... Last lap...... Come on...... Last lap ......"

Muttering words of encouragement to himself, Tomohiko finished the nightmarish lap. But I don't know if it's because of the pain of **, which delays the transmission of thoughts, Peng Yan doesn't seem to realize this, but runs forward mechanically at the original speed.

Seeing Peng Yan running past him, but he continued to move forward without stopping, Bai Poor didn't have time to celebrate, so he hurriedly handed Xiao Nan to Sakai, and then rushed up and hugged Peng Yan.

"Last lap...... Capable ......"

"Pengyan, Pengyan, wake up, wake up, I'm Baicha. You're done running, don't run anymore, wake up!"

“...... Come on...... Last lap ......"

"Penghiko, wake up!"

Under the shaking of Baicha, Tomohiko finally regained his senses and walked out of the state of self-hypnosis.

"Hmm...... Spread ...... Me, I'm done?"

"It's over, it's over!

Hearing that he had completed the last ten laps, Penghiko's tense nerves finally relaxed, and then his legs weakened, and he fell to his knees, his hands propped on the ground, and the muscles up and down his body trembled involuntarily.

Perhaps feeling the desire of his 130 trillion cells for air, Peng Yan gasped for breath, like a fish out of water, as if he was going to die in the next second, but the hot air made him clearly realize that he was still alive.

At the same time, large beads of sweat fell to the ground along Tomohiko's hair, shattering into small splashes one after another, reflecting colorful colors under the sunlight.

"Whew...... Call...... Finally, I finally finished the ......"

"Yes, yes, it's over, no need to run anymore. ”

Just as Baicha and Tomohiko were talking, Sai also helped Xiao Nan to the two of them.

I only heard Xiao Nan say weakly: "Pengyan, congratulations, you have persevered." ”

"Thanks, huh...... But I think if it wasn't for the help of Baichao, I'm sure you'd have gotten up and persevered. ”

At this time, Peng Yan also recalled that Xiao Nan did not disappear out of thin air just now, but after falling, he was helped down by Baicha, who had already run away. I don't know if it's because of a trance, I didn't notice this.

Hearing Peng Yan's words, Xiao Nan didn't say anything, but thought silently in his heart: "If there is a next time, I will definitely not fall, even if I fall, I will definitely persevere!"
