Weight-Bearing Punishment
At the entrance, there were eight wicker baskets. Each basket was labeled with a name.
Each wicker basket contained several stones the size of cantaloupes.
Judging by sight alone, it weighs at least tens of kilograms.
"No way. Are you saying I have to carry such a heavy load and run for two or three hours straight?"
Looking at the exaggerated number of stones in his basket, Lin Meng couldn't help but let out a wail.
"Look, everyone. Each box weighs a different amount. This must be based on our Soul Power Level and Physical Quality." Huo Yu, with her sharp eyes, noticed the difference.
Everyone walked up to the wooden frame with their names written on it and found that it contained specific numbers.
"My wicker basket says forty kilograms," Huo Wu said.
"I have fifty kilograms here," Huo Wushuang said.
In addition, Lin Meng weighs 40 kilograms, Huo Yun and Huo Yu 35 kilograms, Ling Yun Wang Xing weigh 30 kilograms.
The wicker baskets were not light, but they were still a manageable weight for them to carry.
But when they saw Quan Yi's wicker basket, they were all startled.
"Quan Yi, you're exaggerating. The stones are about to burst the wooden frame."
Lin Meng discovered that the wooden frame of Quan Yi contained a larger volume of rocks than anyone else's.
He stepped forward and saw that it said 100 kilograms.
Lin Meng tried to lift him, but even lifting him was difficult. Let alone carrying him for two or three hours.
"Quan Yi, are you sure you want to be punished? You don't really need to care," Lin Meng advised.
One hundred kilograms is like carrying a muscular adult man on your back for two or three hours, which is not an easy task even for Soul Elder.
"Don't worry. Let's go back quickly. The dean is still waiting for us."
Quan Yi easily hoisted the wicker basket onto his back, his expression unchanged, as if he were carrying a light schoolbag, without any sign of strain.
"Don't underestimate Quan Yi. This weight is just an appetizer for him." With that, Huo Wu followed Quan Yi and picked up her wicker basket.
Huo Wu looked very relaxed as she carried the stones on her back.
Forty kilograms is the second heaviest after Quan Yi and Huo Wushuang, the same as Lin Meng.
But Huo Wu was able to do it so easily because of her Soul Power of level 27 and her Physical Quality that were in no way inferior to those of Beast Soul Master.
Quan Yi carried a wicker basket on his back, walked towards Huo Yun, and took out a stone weighing about ten kilograms from Huo Yun's basket and put it into his own basket.
"Your body is injured. I'll help you carry some of the weight. But don't worry, this weight won't be a problem for me."
Quan Yi didn't even give Huo Yun a chance to refuse, urging, "Let's go quickly. The Dean is still waiting for us."
Everyone picked up their wicker baskets and followed Quan Yi.
"Run in circles around the Martial Arts Practice Field. I have only one requirement: do not stop. Now, begin."
At Gao Jie's command, everyone began running around the Martial Arts Practice Field.
However, everyone was not running very fast; instead, they were running forward at a steady pace, completely following their own rhythm.
Everyone understands that the key to this "corporal punishment" is persistence, not speed.
However, even when jogging at a steady pace, the heavy load and the accumulation of fatigue over a long period of time make breathing increasingly rapid and steps increasingly heavy.
An hour has passed.
The distance between everyone gradually widened due to the differences in their Physical Quality.
Quan Yi led the way, Huo Wushuang in second, and Huo Wu came in third.
Lin Meng, Huo Yun Huo Yu, are tied for fourth place.
Ling Yun and Wang Xing finished last, but the difference wasn't significant.
Gao Jie was also on the sidelines, observing everyone's performance.
Most of it was as he had expected.
But Quan Yi brought him a shock.
"Where did this monster come from?"
Despite carrying a 100-kilogram load, he still moved swiftly and maintained a steady, smooth breathing rhythm, looking so relaxed and at ease.
For Quan Yi, who carried over a thousand kilograms of armor for extended periods, a mere hundred kilograms was as light as a feather.
More than two hours passed, and the sun began to set.
Everyone was drenched in sweat and panting heavily.
The weight of the academic design is by no means light.
But perhaps it was the presence of his teammates on the track that motivated him to keep going.
Because of each other's existence, the painful 'punishment' becomes bearable.
"Stop."
Gao Jie shouted.
Ling Yun and Wang Xing, who were in a daze, did not hear Gao Jie's voice. Instead, Huo Yun and Huo Yu, who were in the lead, stopped the two.
"It's over, it's over. No more running."
His rapid breathing made the twins' words fragmented.
Ling Yun and Wang Xing, not paying attention, fell forward.
Incidentally, he also knocked the Huo Yun Huo Yu to the ground.
Huo Yun, covered in wounds, grimaced in pain and nearly fainted.
In just two or three hours.
They truly experienced what the limits are.
Even Lin Meng, who was in slightly better Physical Quality, was almost exhausted and collapsed onto the ground.
In the end, only Quan Yi, Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang were still able to stand on the stage.
"It's dinner time. You can go back and rest now. Remember to put the wooden frame at the entrance when you go back." Gao Jie clapped his hands and then left.
It took them a long time to catch their breath before they slowly stood up.
"I'm so tired. I don't think this kind of punishment will have to be done every day." Lin Meng asked, his face ashen.
"Get up and stretch, then go have a good meal. Otherwise, you'll definitely suffer tomorrow."
Everyone was reluctant, but Quan Yi urged them on and made them stretch and relax their muscles, albeit reluctantly.
Quan Yi had a premonition that tomorrow might be the same as today, because Gao Jie hadn't taken the wicker basket back.
After stretching, Quan Yi and Huo Wu said goodbye to their teammates and returned to the Wooden Cabin.
Back at his lodgings, Quan Yi put on his Iron Essence Weighted Suit.
Huo Wu found an open space by the lake and began their evening exercise.
If this scene were witnessed by the teammates they met today, they would be absolutely stunned.
What they considered extreme training was actually just an appetizer for Quan Yi.
Pushing the limits is commonplace for Quan Yi.
After finishing his evening exercise, Quan Yi returned to the Wooden Cabin and started a fire to cook.
Quan Yi's talent in controlling the heat and knife skills is amazing. As a result, Quan Yi's cooking skills have been improving day by day. As time goes by, Huo Wu has become more and more fond of the food he makes.
Their accommodation was far from the Dining Hall, so they decided to cook for themselves in the Wooden Cabin.
After a hearty dinner, Quan Yi returned to his Dormitory and began writing down his day's achievements.
It includes the names of all team members, their Martial Soul, the effects of their Soul Skill, and so on.
Furthermore, Quan Yi meticulously recorded relevant information about the Mars Martial Soul in his manual.
