The Delicate Ning Rongrong

"By the way, I was listening carefully from the side just now. Didn't you say that Xiao San still hadn't obtained his third soul ring?"

Yu Xiaogang looked at Zhao Wuji and asked.

"That's right. Xiao Wu as well. I was planning to take them to the Soul Beast Forest raised by the Balak Kingdom to obtain their soul rings."

Zhao Wuji nodded.

But Yu Xiaogang waved his hand and said, "No need. Tomorrow, stay at the academy and arrange weighted training for the others. Flender and I will handle Xiao San's soul ring."

"Weighted training? To improve their physical fitness?" Zhao Wuji asked tentatively.

"That's right. The better their physical condition, the higher the limit of Soul Power they can withstand. This will be greatly beneficial whether in battle or when absorbing soul rings."

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang took a sheet of paper from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Wuji.

"This has a Medicinal Bath recipe written on it. After training, they can soak in it for a while. It will also help them quickly improve their physical fitness."

Hearing that, Zhao Wuji took the paper and nodded. "Alright, leave it to me."

Early the next morning, Gu Yi and the others were summoned to gather in the square.

After Flender briefly introduced Yu Xiaogang to everyone, he left with Tang San and Xiao Wu.

And with that, their first training session of the day began.

"Today, we'll be training your bodies. The Master said to have you run with weights, but I think that's too much trouble. With me here, why run at all?"

Zhao Wuji looked at them with a wicked grin and chuckled.

"Today's training is simple. In a moment, I'll unleash my Third Soul Skill, Gravity Enhancement. All you need to do is endure within my soul skill for half an hour."

"How about it? Easy, right?"

At those words, even Gu Yi was speechless.

Good lord, and he called this easy? His Gravity Enhancement could even affect the Titan Giant Ape to some extent. If it were used on them, wouldn't it knock them flat immediately?

"Alright, don't worry. I'll take it slowly."

As he spoke, soul rings began to emerge around Zhao Wuji. One Thousand-Year Soul Ring sank directly into the ground.

The next moment, everyone felt a pressure envelop their entire bodies. It continuously squeezed them, though it was still bearable.

But Gu Yi could clearly sense that the pressure was steadily increasing. Gradually, he felt as though he had fallen into a swamp and was being slowly swallowed by the pressure.

In truth, he was in the best condition among them. The others all looked as miserable as if they had swallowed flies.

They felt as though mercury had been poured into their bodies, making them incomparably heavy. That terrifying pressure was like a small mountain pressing down upon them, ready to crush them at any moment.

Zhao Wuji could not impose different levels of pressure on each person, so he could only treat them all equally.

Under the same pressure, Gu Yi, who possessed the highest Soul Power, was naturally in the best state.

"It hurts... My whole body hurts..."

Zhu Zhuqing tightly furrowed her brows, her legs trembling nonstop. Her Soul Power was too low. Under this pressure, even remaining standing was becoming difficult for her.

Noticing this, Gu Yi moved a little closer and encouraged her softly, "Keep going. The longer you endure, the greater the benefits you'll gain. Don't give up so easily."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded at him, a trace of determination lighting up in her eyes.

To avoid falling too far behind Gu Yi, she would work hard!

Time passed quickly, and after everyone grit their teeth and held on, half an hour had gone by.

By now, everyone's faces had turned pale. After remaining in the gravity field for so long, they even felt as though their legs had vanished. Not a single part of their bodies was free from soreness and pain.

The symptoms were especially obvious in Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing. Their gazes had become unfocused, and they were on the verge of passing out.

"Thud!"

Suddenly, a dull impact sounded from the field.

Everyone turned at once and saw that Ning Rongrong could no longer endure. She had fallen onto the ground, and the burning pain in her backside brought her slightly back to her senses.

"It hurts so much! Stop it! Stop it!" Ning Rongrong cried out in agony.

She had reached her limit. She felt as if every bone in her body had been broken apart. Having been pampered since childhood, how could she possibly endure this?

Zhao Wuji frowned and glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, who was still gritting her teeth and persisting. He could not help but sigh inwardly.

Only half the time has passed, and Zhu Zhuqing is still holding on. As for this young lady... sigh...

Though he thought that, he still shrank the range of his soul skill a little, allowing Ning Rongrong to relax.

As the terrifying pressure vanished, Ning Rongrong felt much better all over. She panted heavily and swept her eyes across the others who were still enduring in the field.

Dai Mubai and Gu Yi did not seem to be affected much. Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ma Hongjun were in roughly the same state as her, on the verge of being unable to hold on.

Yet Oscar and Ma Hongjun had actually draped their arms over Dai Mubai's shoulders, relying on him to forcibly support themselves.

Zhu Zhuqing had Gu Yi as well. Although she had long since run out of strength, Gu Yi had continued supporting and helping her, keeping her from falling.

Looking at it this way, she seemed to be the only one all alone. There was not a single "companion" beside her, no one she could rely on, and her Soul Power was the lowest of them all.

The more Ning Rongrong thought about it, the angrier she became.

What was this supposed to mean? Was she the only one being excluded?

Still, she felt rather disdainful. If they did not want to pay attention to her, then she did not want to pay attention to them either.

And so, Ning Rongrong sulked alone at the side until the training finally ended.

"Ow! I feel like I'm about to die!"

The instant the gravity field ended, Oscar collapsed limply onto the ground. At that moment, even speaking felt like torture.

"Me too. Maybe it's because of my weight, but I feel like the gravity on me was several times stronger than yours!" Ma Hongjun complained weakly.

"Alright, you'll get used to it eventually."

Dai Mubai looked somewhat exhausted as well, though he was in far better condition than they were.

As for Gu Yi, his expression remained normal, and his movements were not sluggish in the slightest, as though he had not undergone any training at all.

He was supporting Zhu Zhuqing and using his Soul Power to ease her discomfort.

"Feeling better?" Gu Yi asked with concern.

"Mm." Zhu Zhuqing forced out a smile and nodded.

The sight of her trying to stay strong made Gu Yi's heart ache. Without hesitation, he turned and called to Oscar, "Oscar, get a Recovery Sausage over here!"

"A Recovery Sausage? Why eat a Recovery Sausage?" Oscar struggled to climb up from the ground, gave everyone a mysterious smile, and continued, "What's so good about Recovery Sausages?"

"I'll take you to eat something even better, the kind of food you'll never forget for the rest of your lives!"

"And it can help us recover our strength too. So, are you going or not?"

At those words, everyone's eyes instantly gathered on him. Seeing the sly grin on his face, Gu Yi could not help but grow curious.

He looked down at Zhu Zhuqing in his arms and made up his mind.

"Going! Why wouldn't we?"

"But before that, shouldn't you at least give us enough strength to walk there?"

"That's true." Oscar nodded.

"I, your father, have a Big Sausage!"
