"Your cooperation seems to be flawless, but in reality, if one day you meet an opponent like Luo XingChen who has quick reflexes, the ones who will die will be you."”
"Luo Xingchen, do you know where you are weak?”
"I shouldn't have ignored Zhu Zhuqing because of Ma Hongjun's attack. If the opponent was someone stronger than me, I'm afraid I would already be dead.”
Grandmaster's stiff face had an ugly expression, Your performance today has disappointed me. Everyone had made an unforgivable mistake. Now, all of you will be punished. Running forward. They were to supervise each other and not to use soul power. Run from the academy to Suotuo City and back. Before lunch, I want you to complete ten round trips. When they finished running, they would eat. Luo Xingchen, your mistake was the most serious, so you ran twelve rounds. Move out immediately. Begin."
Tang San was the first to run out. Grandmaster's words were no different from an order to him.
Luo Xingchen, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun followed closely behind. Grandmaster even punished his own direct disciple. Moreover, the punishment was the heaviest. What else could they say? Not to mention the mistakes Grandmaster had pointed out were all huge mistakes to them.
"There are rocks prepared at the academy's main gate. Each of you carry a piece and run with the weight. You must remember that you are a team. If one person fails to complete the punishment, then no one will have food to eat.”Grandmaster emphasized.
Even though they couldn't use spirit power, they were all Spirit Masters, and spirit power had transformed their bodies over the years, making their bodies much stronger than ordinary people. If he only ran, then he wouldn't be able to achieve Grandmaster's goal.
The distance from the academy to Suotuo City wasn't too far, but it was still about three to four kilometers. Ten trips would mean about sixty to seventy kilometers. Adding on the weight, it definitely wasn't an easy task.
Seeing the figures of Luo Xingchen's group of six running out, Ning Rongrong couldn't help giggling. However, her smile didn't last too long.
"Why aren't you running?" Grandmaster's cold voice rang out.
"Uh…we're running too?" Ning Rongrong looked at Grandmaster in shock.
"What I said just now was that all of you will be punished.”
"But, this isn't fair, Zhuqing and I didn't do anything wrong!”
"Let me ask you, who are they to you?"”
"Classmate, partner."”
"There's a saying called sharing weal and woe, have you heard of it?" You are companions. If you want to become companions who can entrust your backs to each other, do you think you should watch them be punished while you rest?”
Ning Rongrong was speechless, and Zhu Zhuqing had already run out.
When the eight of them arrived at the Academy's gates one after another, they discovered that Grandmaster's punishment for them was still different, or perhaps it could be said that he had already prepared it long ago.
There were eight bamboo baskets with stones of different sizes in them. Each bamboo basket had a strap with a name written on it.
Among them, the stone in Luo XingChen's basket was the largest, Tang San, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun's were a bit smaller, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing and Oscar were also second, and Ning Rongrong's basket was the smallest.
When Ning Rongrong saw the stone in the bamboo basket, the dissatisfaction in her heart immediately decreased a bit, thinking to herself, this Grandmaster wasn't too unreasonable.
Grandmaster looked at the eight people carrying the bamboo basket and running far away, his stiff face couldn't help revealing a faint smile.
"Running a long distance without using soul power, isn't this punishment a bit too heavy? That was hundreds of kilometers. Forget about noon, they probably wouldn't be able to finish it even if it was dark. I didn't expect you to be even more ruthless than me."
Flender didn't know when he had arrived at Grandmaster's side, somewhat worried saying.
"Only by enduring the bitterness of the bitterness can one become superior." I have carefully calculated their physical conditions. It wouldn't tire them out. Besides, do you think they ate such a good breakfast for nothing? Without going through the stage of sharing joys and sorrows, how could they become true partners who entrusted their backs to each other?”
Flender raised both hands, making a gesture of surrender, Do as you see fit. I know that you value these children more than I do. However, I have to remind you again that the academy's funds are limited.”
"A living person can still be suffocated to death by urine?" Do you think I'm like you, a dignified Spirit Sage who can't even get an academy's funds?”
"That's because I don't want to bend my knees and rely on others, otherwise, with my strength becoming rich and noble wouldn't be difficult. I want to see how you solve this problem. Your face is much thinner than mine.”
Grandmaster gave Flender a sidelong glance,”
Carrying the bamboo basket on their backs, Luo XingChen, Tang San and Dai Mubai took the lead and sprinted out. It wasn't until they started running that they realized the severity of the punishment.
If they could use soul power, covering a distance of sixty or seventy kilometers in half a day wouldn't be a problem for them. They could even easily complete it. However, under the circumstances of not using spirit power and still carrying weight, that was not something that could be easily accomplished.
"Mubai, Stardust, let's stop for a moment.”The running Tang San suddenly stopped. At this moment, he had not run far, but his forehead was already slightly sweaty.
Even though the three of them had previously exhausted their spirit power, they were currently running without using spirit power. In terms of physical strength, they were clearly the best of the Shrek Seven Devils. Right now, Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun and Oscar were already several hundred meters behind, Zhu Zhuqing had already caught up to them, Ning Rongrong was at the back.
"Little San, what's wrong?" Dai Mubai and Stardust also stopped, somewhat puzzled looking at Tang San. "Ten rounds isn't a short time.”
"Mubai, Xingchen, do you still remember? Before we set off, our teacher told us that we were a team. He asked us to complete this punishment together. You see, Zhuqing and Rongrong were also punished with us. In addition to the twelve rounds I have to run, you must also complete it at the same time. With my understanding of teacher, this time he doesn't just want to punish us, at the same time he also wants us to train our bodies. Yesterday teacher told me that the body is the foundation of Spirit Masters, I was able to jump levels to absorb the Man Faced Demon Spider spirit ring, it's related to my body quality. More importantly, this punishment is probably a test for us. What he wants to test is our collective nature. We are a whole. In terms of physical strength, perhaps you and I can support it, but they might not. I think we have to think of a way to let everyone complete this test together.”
As Grandmaster's only disciple, Tang San clearly understood Grandmaster the most. Hearing his words, Luo Xingchen slowly nodded." I'm afraid that's the case. Let's discuss it first when they come up.”
Very quickly, the five people behind followed, and Tang San once again told them his thoughts on today's punishment.
"I think what Tang San said is very right, Grandmaster should be testing us. Our weights are different, it should be Grandmaster deliberately calculating the limits of our physical strength. In the cases of Luo Xingchen, Tang San and boss Dai, they should be able to complete it within their limits, and even retain some physical strength. Fatty should have just reached his limit. Naturally, there were also those that exceeded the limit. Only when everyone worked together would it be possible to complete it. I'm afraid I'm the only one who can bear the weight that exceeds my limit. And Rongrong."
At the end of his sentence, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had only run for two kilometers, but he could already feel the bamboo basket on his back getting heavier and heavier. His forehead was covered in sweat. There was still such a long distance behind him. He knew that he definitely wouldn't be able to last.
Fatty Ma Hongjun said loudly: "Why don't we cheat? Are we afraid of running out of stamina by secretly eating little Ao's recovery sausages?”
"Cheating?" "Fatty, I'll only ask you one thing, can you be sure that Grandmaster didn't let the other teachers supervise us? If he was discovered cheating, the punishment would not be as simple as it was now. Moreover, Grandmaster must have a deeper meaning for punishing us like this. He will only treat us well. Now, we need to think of a way to save as much energy as possible.”
"Even though teacher made us run with weights, without using spirit power, the total weight of the eight of us is so much, as long as we can carry these weights to complete the punishment it will naturally be enough. Oscar, give me your stone.”
Oscar stared blankly for a moment, then chuckled. "Good brother. However, there was no need for that now. How about this? From now on, the eight of us will run at the slowest speed. This way, everyone will be able to gather together, and a uniform speed saves the most energy. When one of them could not hold on any longer, they would help each other adjust their weight. He would be able to save as much energy as possible. What do you think?"
"Little Ao, I didn't see that you were quite smart.”
Oscar had a matter-of-fact expression on his face," Don't you know that I was called the clever little prince when I was young? This is nothing."
