Training

Shrek Academy.

When Bai Ying and Ning Rongrong returned, they saw Shrek and the others running with bamboo baskets on their backs. From the looks of them, they were already utterly exhausted.

"You're back." Grandmaster sat in a pavilion, drinking a small pot of tea as he spoke calmly.

"What are you doing?"

"Can't you tell? Exercising. These children's physical fitness is simply too poor. They have to train their bodies properly."

Ning Rongrong glanced at them and said, "Since this is training, I'll join too."

If Ning Rongrong had once been spoiled and willful, she had now completely become a different person.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go train!"

"Yu Xiaogang, what do you mean? I still have to go running."

"I'm a teacher at Shrek Academy now. My word is an order. If you don't want to do it, then leave Shrek Academy."

"Brother, you two are back."

Xiao Wu spoke breathlessly. Her body was already covered in sweat, but she was still persisting.

"Is this kind of training useful for you too? But this kind of training is completely useless to me."

"You guys keep at it!"

Just as he was about to leave, Yu Xiaogang suddenly stood up and said, "Are you challenging my authority as a teacher?"

"Either go run, or leave."

Yu Xiaogang had disliked him ever since Nuoding Academy. Now that he had become a teacher at Shrek Academy, how could he possibly let this opportunity pass?

"Grandmaster, I respect you as a Grandmaster, but my training methods really are different from theirs. As far as my physical fitness goes, I'm stronger than every one of them."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang said, "How about this? I'll make a bet with you. If I win, you'll obediently listen to me. How does that sound?"

"What are we betting on?"

"Didn't you say your physical fitness is better than all of theirs? All you have to do is carry ten thousand jin of stones and run ten laps with them. If you can still be as lively and energetic as this when you return, I'll exempt you from training. How about it?"

"Ten thousand jin? This isn't something to joke about. It could really kill someone. Even if he's a Soul Ancestor now, he might not be able to endure it."

"Fine."

Bai Ying found a bamboo basket, loaded it with stones, and started running.

Before leaving, he specifically had Grandmaster check the weight. Bai Ying's speed was like the wind. He had previously absorbed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, in addition to all the spring water from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye. His body had long since surpassed that of his peers.

Thus, he returned with them after only one afternoon, without the slightest hint of fatigue.

Grandmaster's expression was extremely ugly. Then Bai Ying directly released his Martial Soul and Spirit Rings, and four ten-thousand-year Spirit Rings appeared around him. Absolute longing showed in Grandmaster's eyes, along with an unprecedented excitement.

After all, his first, second, third, and fourth Spirit Rings were all ten-thousand-year Spirit Rings. In the entire spirit master world, there probably wasn't a second person with such a configuration.

Yu Xiaogang had originally intended to have Tang San cultivate the Blue Silver Grass to the Titled Douluo realm, then equip the Clear Sky Hammer with such a terrifying Spirit Ring configuration.

Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, how could he not be shocked?

In the end, Flanders made the decision, and Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang could only helplessly agree to exempt Bai Ying from training.

By evening, the others had finished training and were so exhausted that they had all collapsed unconscious.

At that moment, only Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu remained in the academy. Before Meng Yiran left, Dragon Duke and Snake Grandma had already taken her back.

They had agreed to meet during the All-Continent Elite Spirit Master Competition.

Ever since Bai Ying broke through to rank 40, he had felt as if he had encountered a bottleneck. Before, after circulating one Small Heavenly Cycle and one Great Heavenly Cycle, he could feel his strength becoming extremely abundant, as if it were a surging river.

Now, however, he instead felt a sense of fatigue, as if the bottle had already reached its limit.

Bai Ying sighed and said, "I didn't expect that I would encounter a bottleneck too."

"Am I being too impatient?"

Thinking this, Bai Ying immediately walked toward Xiao Wu's residence.

As soon as he entered, he smelled a rich medicinal fragrance. Judging from the scent, most of the medicines were things that strengthened the foundation and replenished vitality.

Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong had already been exhausted to the point of losing consciousness.

Although they had cultivated the Goddess Heart Sutra, their bodies were still very fragile.

"In that case, let's make things a little more interesting for them!"

Thinking this, he went to the side of the medicinal tub, bit through his finger, and let his blood flow into the medicine.

The originally calm and gentle medicinal energy was instantly disrupted.

Bai Ying's blood contained the medicinal properties of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot. Both medicines were extremely potent.

As soon as the blood entered, the expressions of Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing immediately became pained.

The surging medicinal energy continuously ravaged their bodies. The intense pain forcibly woke them.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Xiao Wu was the first to wake up. Seeing Bai Ying there, she couldn't help asking him.

"I came to check on you. Don't speak for now. Circulate your Soul Power. Your bodies have already reached their limits, but the more that's the case, the more you have to persist. As long as you endure it, your physical bodies will rise to another level."

The intense pain also woke Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong at the same time. After hearing Bai Ying's words, the pain in their eyes failed to move him in the slightest.

They circulated the Goddess Heart Sutra, completely relaxing their bodies as they absorbed the medicinal energy.

It didn't take long for them to absorb the immense medicinal energy completely. Their bodies went from exhaustion at the beginning to ease afterward. It felt as if their entire bodies had undergone a rebirth, as light and carefree as drifting feathers.

"Brother, I feel so much better."

"Don't speak yet. They've already entered a meditative state. Don't disturb them."

Only then did Xiao Wu notice that they were soaking in a medicinal bath. She froze, but then seemed to think of something, and her face flushed red.

"Why are we soaking here?"

"Don't worry. The attendants helped you take off your clothes."

"Oh, then it's fine."

"Alright, you haven't eaten, have you? As it happens, I still have some food in my Soul Tool."

Bai Ying took a Killer Bunny Girl outfit out of his Storage Soul Tool.

Bai Ying walked outside. Xiao Wu rinsed the medicinal liquid from her body with clean water, then put on the outfit.

"Brother, what do you think? How do I look?"

"Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. You look just like a fairy."
