In the Navy Academy, Zhang Yang was running at a steady pace on the wide track. His neat navy uniform was already drenched in sweat. His face, which was slightly red from the prolonged exercise, was filled with determination. It seemed like he did not know how to give up.
On the fifth floor of the teaching building, Zefa, who occasionally saw this scene from the window, nodded slightly and continued to teach the students various techniques when fighting the enemy.
"Hu…ha…hu…ha…"
Zhang Yang was breathing in and out regularly. He inhaled through his nose and out through his mouth. No matter how uncomfortable his chest was, he did not use his mouth to inhale. He knew that if he lost the balance between his nose and mouth, he would not be able to run anymore.
After running another 5 laps, a total of 13 laps, Zhang Yang finally stopped. He felt dizzy and collapsed on the ground. He squinted his eyes and looked at the glaring sun, panting heavily.
All of a sudden, a black shadow blocked out the sun. Zhang Yang frowned and opened his eyes.
Her long pink hair was tied into a small braid, and her big eyes were curved into crescents. Her exquisite little face had a happy smile, and her neat navy uniform clung to her body, outlining her initial curves.
"Tina?" Zhang Yang was stunned.
"Humph! Are you tired? It's time to eat, so get up or Tina won't wait for you!”
Tina placed her hands behind her back and bent over to look at Zhang Yang who was lying on the ground.
"Hey! Understood!"
Hearing that, Zhang Yang grinned and gave a weird salute. Then, he got up from the ground.
"That's more like it. Tina won't hold it against you! Smoggy, let's go!"
Tina smiled in satisfaction before turning to Smoggy.
Smoggy frowned at Zhang Yang and Tina, but he did not say anything. He followed the two of them to the cafeteria, and at the same time, a large number of students began to walk out of the school building toward the cafeteria.
This was already the seventh day since Zhang Yang had started running. During these seven days, Zhang Yang had gotten used to the lifestyle here. Although he could not go up to the fifth floor for the time being, he had gradually gotten used to it since Tina would often remind him to eat.
As for Smoggy, he did it purely because he was familiar with Tina. Of course, there could be other reasons as well.
Zhang Yang had been training non-stop for the past seven days. He did not know if it was because he was in a different world, but he had gone from a few hundred meters to running half a lap without panting. Zhang Yang's improvement was obvious. Although he was still a long way from running three laps without panting, it did not seem like he would need much time.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, there were already quite a number of people inside. As Zhang Yang and the other two walked in, they immediately attracted a lot of attention and discussions.
Although Smoggy and Tina weren't the strongest on the fifth floor, they were still students from the elite class who were personally taught by Admiral Zefa. Naturally, they were very eye-catching in the eyes of the students on the first to fourth floors.
As for Zhang Yang, he had been running around the field for the entire week. Naturally, he had been spotted by the students who had come out for outdoor training or sparring classes. However, unlike Tina and the others, no one knew which floor Zhang Yang was from. Therefore, even though many people were curious about Zhang Yang's strange behavior, they did not catch the attention of everyone like Tina and the others.
"Hey! Zhang Yang, Tina, Smoggy, over here!”
After queuing up to get their food, Zhang Yang and the others were about to sit down when a shout was heard. Zhang Yang turned around and saw a young man with orange hair waving his arms at Zhang Yang and the others.
"It's the Bastille, let's go!”
Zhang Yang smiled at Tina and Smoggy before leading them over to sit down.
Bastille, the future Vice Admiral of the Navy, was also one of the people who was familiar with Zhang Yang.
"Zhang Yang, you've improved a lot recently. It seems like you'll be able to learn from us soon!”Bastille laughed.
"What improvement? It's still early!”
Zhang Yang rolled his eyes as he ate.
"Haha! Good luck!" Bastille laughed and patted Zhang Yang's shoulder.
The group of them chatted and laughed as they ate. This kind of warm feeling made Zhang Yang feel a little strange.
After dinner, Tina and the other two went back to the fifth floor to continue their training. Zhang Yang also went back to the track and started his own running.
The entire field was silent. Only Zhang Yang's rhythmic footsteps and panting could be heard. Under the blinding sunlight, Zhang Yang's shadow was stretched very long.
After about an hour, Zhang Yang was out of breath again. So, he found a shady place to rest.
Zhang Yang turned his head and looked at the school building. He could hear the faint shouts coming from inside. Zhang Yang looked at the white sky, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes to start cultivating his spiritual power.
This was something that he had discovered by chance. After intense exercise, cultivating his spiritual energy seemed to have unexpected benefits. Not only could he recover his physical strength quickly, but his spiritual energy would also increase at a much faster rate than usual. This was a huge discovery for Zhang Yang, who was in urgent need of strengthening his physique and increasing his spiritual energy at the same time.
Over the past few days, Zhang Yang had been using this method to train his physique and spiritual energy. He had been using his spiritual energy to replace his sleep in the dormitory every night. Now, Zhang Yang's spiritual pressure had completely surpassed that of a normal Death God. If he continued to use this method, it would not be long before he could learn the Instant Steps that Zhang Yang had been looking forward to.
They had strayed off topic.
10 minutes later, Zhang Yang's Stamina was fully recovered. He then continued running without stopping.
Just like that, more than three hours passed.
Just as Zhang Yang was jogging again, a loud noise came from the school building. A group of boys and girls walked out under the lead of a navy officer. Judging from their attire, they should be at least a colonel or even a general.
Zhang Yang turned his head to look at them and did not pay much attention to them. They were probably having outdoor lessons or sparring. Zhang Yang had seen a few of them in the past few days.
In fact, Zhang Yang's guess was right. The group of boys and girls walked straight to the field. They looked curiously at Zhang Yang who was running. Then, they lined up under the guidance of the instructor. Then, the instructor explained and demonstrated some basic fighting techniques to them.
"Do you understand?"
After the demonstration, the instructor shouted sternly at the group of boys and girls.
"Understood!"
The boys and girls immediately replied in unison.
"If you understand, immediately start practicing in pairs. I'll check on you in an hour!”
The instructor said expressionlessly. Then, he turned around and left without any hesitation. Seeing this, the young men and women immediately dispersed and found familiar people to form pairs to start training.
As he ran, Zhang Yang observed the training of the boys and girls. Soon, he lost interest in them. Although the instructor was teaching them the most practical combat techniques, it was nothing compared to the 2,000 years of battle experience that the head captain had accumulated. Since there was something better, Zhang Yang was naturally not interested in it.
But soon, Zhang Yang could not help but frown. He realized that there were a few of them pointing at him. Not only were they pointing at him, but they were also saying something bad about him.
Zhang Yang was pissed off. It was one thing for Zefa and the others to treat him badly, since they were all very strong. But these weaklings who had less than 5 combat level dared to say bad things about him. He could not tolerate this!
"It's so noisy!"
Zhang Yang turned his head and snorted coldly at the few of them. The Spirit Pressure that had already begun to take shape in his body gushed out and pressed down on them.
