Chapter 99 - Running Happily Against the Rising Sun



Chapter 99: Running Happily Against the Rising Sun

“Hahaha, Wushang, you are the first to arrive. As expected of the student that I have set my eyes on!”

The strong man who was standing on his head laughed out loud. Instantly, his back arched like a bow. With just a light push, his feet landed on the ground.

“Ou ou ~ ou ou ~”

Red Monkey roared excitedly and similarly turned around to stand upright.

“Instructor Xiao!”

Bai Wushang revealed a faint smile. The degree of recognition he had for this teacher had once again increased.

Being able to train so hard early in the morning had already explained his actual actions. His so-called ‘hard work’ was not just words on paper.

Striding closer, Bai Wushang took a glance at Red Monkey.

It was over three meters tall, and its fur was long and curly. It appeared light red, brownish red, dark red, and other colors were gradually changing.

It stood upright with its chest out. Other than having a furry monkey face, ears that rolled up, and long arms, its palms were especially large. It also had slightly pointed fingernails and a long crimson tail extending from its back. It had a long and slender body, the rest of its body was very close to the shape of a human.

It was even wearing a pair of shorts with a dark green belt wrapped around it. Beside it, there was a large straw hanging out of the yellow gourd.

“Drunken Fist Monkey!” Bai Wushang’s gaze focused.

[ Name ] : Drunken Fist Monkey (Bonded)

[ Race ] : Demon Beast Realm, Walking Beast Type, Drunken Fist Monkey Clan

[ Life Level ] : Late stage of the complete form

[ Bloodline Quality ] : Elite Level 9-Star

? ? ? ? (Soul Power is too low to probe further)

Because his pet beast, the “Demon Ape”, was a branch of the ape species.

Therefore, Bai Wushang had a good impression of this type of pet beast.

The Drunken Fist Monkey was a “Little Fist Monkey” whose initial life form was at the youth form level.

It would then leap to the mature form, “Fist Monkey”, in the middle.

When it evolved again, it would become a “Drunken Fist Monkey”.

Unlike the Demon Ape, this creature does not grow in size, and it was not good at recovery at all.

Its strongest attribute was — dexterity!

Especially after drinking!

“This is my first pet beast, I call it ‘Hematite’!” Xiao Tieshi introduced.

“Ou ou!!!”

The Drunken Fist Monkey had an active personality, and there was a smile on its face.

It bent its knees and squatted down, and its fingers touched Bai Wushang’s body tentatively, shaking its head or nodding from time to time.

“Haha, Hematite said that your muscle strength is too weak. You will need to train hard!”

“Well…” Bai Wushang was a little speechless. Then, he said frankly, “I came with such determination!”

“Very good! You are very energetic!”

Xiao Tieshi wiped the sweat off his face with one hand. His black hair fluttered at the corner of his forehead. His thick eyebrows and big eyes shone brightly as he said, “Wushang! There are still thirty minutes before the official lecture. Since you’re already here, don’t waste your time. Let’s run fifty laps to warm up first!”

“Running happily against the rising sun is a very youthful training method.”

Bai Wushang looked around. The fifty laps that Xiao Tieshi mentioned were running around the outside of the ring. It was estimated to be no less than 400 meters per lap.

After running 50 laps, it would be 20 kilometers!

Even though he had expected it, this lesson would not be easy.

But he did not expect it to be so exaggerated from the beginning!

“Time starts now! The fifty laps must be completed within 30 minutes!” Xiao Tieshi shouted loudly.

He took out a timer that was the size of a disc from somewhere, and it made a ticking sound.

Bai Wushang’s scalp tightened. He no longer hesitated and jumped out with the soles of his feet.

“Twenty kilometers in thirty minutes is not difficult for me. The problem is that this is just a warm-up…”

“When the lecture officially begins, how will it be conducted? How exaggerated will it be?”

Bai Wushang’s thoughts ran wild. He did not dare to use his full strength and kept part of his strength to move forward at a uniform speed.

On the way, there were new students joining in and running laps to warm up like him.

Xiao Tieshi’s voice was on the louder side, and he didn’t like to hide it. Bai Wushang could vaguely hear that the others were at different standards.

Some ran ten laps, and some ran twenty laps.

He was the only one who had more than doubled the number of laps.

“Not based on the team, but based on the individual’s physical fitness level as a reference to formulate a specific training plan for everyone?”

Bai Wushang’s breathing was slightly erratic, and there was a thin layer of sweat on the surface of his body, but his entire person was gradually glowing with energy.

“Is this the ‘youth’ that Instructor Xiao has been talking about all day? I seem to have felt it!”

Time passed quickly.

Bai Wushang completed the warm-up according to the requirements.

Soon, the others finished one after another.

A total of twenty-four people stood in front of Xiao Tieshi.

“Good morning, everyone!”

Xiao Tieshi greeted them and briefly introduced himself before getting straight to the point.

He said, “All of you are new students. I believe that there is an urgent need to develop your physical body. I really admire those who are aware of this and are willing to give it a try.”

“However, let me emphasize one more time. My course is very tiring, painful, and tough! How far you can persevere and how much you can gain will depend on your own efforts. Do you understand?!”

“Understood!”

Everyone’s answer was clear and crisp.

They had already spent their points, so it was impossible for them to be easily scared off by a single sentence.

“Alright!” Xiao Tieshi’s thick eyebrows twitched, and he pointed a finger. “Bai Wushang, step out!”

Bai Wushang followed his instructions and walked out.

Instantly, everyone’s gazes fell on him.

Then, they heard Xiao Tieshi shout in a deep voice,

“The course that I set up is called ‘Physical Skills’! ‘Physical’ represents the physical body, and ‘Skills’ means the skills. The two can not be missing!”

“If you only have the physical body and lack the skills, you are wasting your ability.”

“If you only have the skills and don’t have a strong body as the foundation, you are like duckweed without roots. You won’t be able to last long.”

“I hope that you can combine the two to improve your strength, coordination, agility, reaction, and flexibility… This is not for you to charge forward during the battle of pet beasts, but to protect yourself and live well. Only then will you live a youthful life and have a future!”

Many people either pondered or subconsciously nodded in agreement.

Xiao Tieshi raised his arm, revealing the protruding muscles on his arm. He said in high spirits, “In essence, as Masters, we don’t need to deliberately train ourselves. After every breakthrough in Soul Power, our physical bodies will have a certain amount of growth.”

“But I also discovered that it is because of this that the vast majority of Masters are unable to familiarize themselves with their physical bodies and display the strength that they should have.”

“What is lacking in this is the understanding of themselves and the tempering of their newly increased strength.”

“I can bluntly say that the twenty-four of you are currently in a state where your physical bodies are on the strong side and your techniques are severely lacking. This is because the increase in your physical bodies after awakening your Soul Power is too great and you have directly broken away from the mortal realm. This will result in the degree of utilization of your newly increased strength stopping at a maximum of 70%.”

Xiao Tieshi turned to Bai Wushang.

His eyes were burning, but the words coming out of his mouth were like a basin of ice water, pouring cold water over Bai Wushang’s head.

“Bai Wushang, you are even worse. You probably won’t even manage to utilize 50% of your increased strength!”
