Training and Shock

Training and Shock

Yuan Xin naturally had no idea what Lu Yuan was thinking. Otherwise, he would definitely have called him arrogant. Sometimes, a person's horizons determined their way of thinking.

Since Lu Yuan had rejected his goodwill, Yuan Xin could not be bothered to interfere further. Though they were roommates, they had only just met by chance.

As night gradually fell, Lu Yuan began to feel hungry. He asked Yuan Xin where the cafeteria was and enjoyed his first dinner at the Genius Training Camp.

The food at the Genius Training Camp was quite good, with meat, vegetables, and fruit, all nutritionally balanced. Every student also received a small piece of Soul Beast Meat with each meal. As expected of Spirit Hall's Genius Training Camp, it was truly lavish.

After all, Soul Beast Meat was indeed highly nutritious, but it was also extraordinarily expensive.

After dinner, Lu Yuan returned to his dormitory and began meditating!

The Qingqi Sutra's internal energy circulated continuously through his body, and Lu Yuan's strength steadily grew.

As the morning sun rose, the land gradually came back to life.

For Lu Yuan, today was his first day of training at the Genius Training Camp!

As the chief instructor of the Genius Training Camp, Chris had the final say over every student's training!

"Your task today is to carry twenty jin and run twenty laps around the Genius Training Camp! Any objections?" Chris stared directly at Lu Yuan.

"No problem!" One lap around the Genius Training Camp was only two kilometers. Twenty laps amounted to just forty kilometers, and Soul Power was not forbidden. For ordinary soul masters, this might already have been brutally harsh training, but to Lu Yuan, it was merely an appetizer.

At Notting College, he had worn a hundred-jin iron vest and run one hundred kilometers every morning. The Genius Training Camp's training was far too child's play.

"No problem?" Chris smiled. He wanted to see just how capable this kid was.

"Then begin!" At Chris's command, Lu Yuan shot off.

"Officer Chris, isn't this training a little too cruel for a six-year-old child?" Har looked at Chris.

"Do you think he can't complete it?" Chris asked.

"It will be difficult. Even if he uses Soul Power, his small frame will struggle to endure it. Carrying twenty jin while running forty kilometers is difficult even for high-level soul masters. For him, the chances are slim."

"Heh! Har, you're underestimating him. I think not only can he finish it, he might not even use Soul Power!" Chris said with a smile.

"How is that possible? Running forty kilometers with twenty jin on his back without using Soul Power... at that level of intensity, only a handful of people in the entire Genius Training Camp could complete it. But they're all Soul Grand Masters. How could this kid possibly do it?" Har did not believe it.

"Then how about we make a bet?" Chris's eyes gleamed. If he had not known much about Lu Yuan yesterday, then after investigating him, he now considered himself rather well-informed.

He had killed a Soul Grandmaster while still a soul master, and his first soul ring had exceeded the limit at eight hundred years. Lu Yuan's strength was far from as simple as it appeared on the surface.

He had obtained this information from within Spirit Hall. As a high-level Soul Saint and the chief instructor of the Genius Training Camp, his status was not low. Ordinary people might not know the truth about Fengming Village, but he knew quite a bit.

He also knew why even Your Holiness favored this kid. However, winning the Pride of Heaven Selection Tournament would not be easy. Those few boys were also extremely talented. Now, he would see just how capable Lu Yuan truly was.

Lu Yuan did not know what Chris was thinking, but even if he had, he would not have cared.

This level of training was nothing to Lu Yuan!

Maintaining a steady pace, Lu Yuan completed five laps in less than fifteen minutes.

"This kid is that fast? But running at that speed consumes a lot of stamina!" Chris shook his head. In his view, Lu Yuan had not considered how to distribute his strength at all. If he kept charging ahead like this, he would run out of energy after a few more laps. Chris could not help feeling somewhat disappointed.

"Instructor Chris, it seems you're going to lose!" Har had trained many students as well. Lu Yuan was running far too fast and would not be able to keep it up for long.

Another fifteen minutes passed, and Lu Yuan had completed ten laps.

"Huh, this kid's speed doesn't seem to have slowed at all. That's already ten laps, isn't it?" Chris was somewhat surprised.

"Maybe his endurance is better, but no matter how good his endurance is, it won't help if he keeps charging like this. He'll be done after a few more laps!" Har still did not think highly of Lu Yuan.

Another fifteen minutes passed.

By then, Lu Yuan had completed fifteen laps, and his speed had not slowed in the slightest.

"It seems we misjudged him. This kid is no simple matter!" Watching Lu Yuan's still-steady stride, Chris knew he had underestimated him.

"How is this possible? It can't be!" How could a level-fifteen soul master possess such endurance? Har could not believe it.

Seventeen laps, and Lu Yuan's speed still had not changed!

On the eighteenth lap, Chris's eyes lit up with delight while Har's mouth fell open.

On the nineteenth lap, Chris's gaze gleamed while Har's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Finally, on the twentieth lap, Lu Yuan accelerated. Like a galloping steed, he was so fast that not only Chris and Har were shocked, but the other students training on the field were stunned as well.

"What lap is that kid on?" A burly youth asked a purple-clad youth beside him.

"The twentieth lap, I think!" The purple-clad youth's face was filled with astonishment.

"That iron vest on his back looks like it weighs twenty jin. He can run twenty laps carrying twenty jin without slowing down at all. This kid is really something!"

"He is impressive, but he must have used Soul Power, right?" the purple-clad youth asked.

"Definitely. Even I couldn't run twenty laps carrying twenty jin at that speed without using Soul Power. Still, this kid is remarkable."

The burly youth said, "Yuan Xin, if I remember correctly, this kid is your roommate. What do you think about bringing him into our Nether Gate?"

The purple-clad youth was none other than Lu Yuan's roommate, Yuan Xin.

"Boss, I already invited him, but he refused." Yuan Xin gave a bitter smile and repeated everything Lu Yuan had said yesterday.

"Heh! This kid has some backbone. Interesting. I, Yan Xiang, like him!" This burly youth was Yan Xiang, the leader of the Nether Gate.

"However, I think that fellow Qin Yuan has noticed him too. That guy uses underhanded methods. Remind the kid to be careful!" Yan Xiang said as he looked toward a red-clad youth in the distance.

"Got it, Boss!" Yuan Xin nodded.
