By the time Huo Yuhao rushed to Shrek Square, most of the new students had already begun their laps.
Across the vast square, a massive crowd of new students struggled to push forward, yet not long after starting, many had already slowed their pace, shuffling along while gasping for air.
Some had even collapsed by the side of the track, panting heavily with wide, ragged breaths.
As soon as Huo Yuhao arrived, he relied on his powerful physique to surge to the front of the pack.
His stride was steady and his breathing long and rhythmic, showing not a hint of fatigue.
As he ran, he followed the method Zhao Ze had taught him, slowly circulating the soul power within his body, guiding it through his meridians and limbs to accelerate his metabolism.
Fine beads of sweat seeped from his forehead, sliding down his cheeks and shimmering with a faint, pearlescent luster under the sunlight.
Although Huo Yuhao found it easy, it was anything but simple for the others.
Cao Jinxuan, trailing behind, wore a mournful expression:
"Yuhao! One hundred laps! That teacher is way too ruthless!"
He was merely an auxiliary-system soul master and lacked such formidable stamina.
These one hundred laps were practically going to be the death of him!
Huo Yuhao turned his head and said earnestly:
"Keep it up, you have to finish."
Just then, a powder-blue figure suddenly surged up from the side.
Wang Dong'er gritted her teeth, exerting every ounce of her strength to reach Huo Yuhao's side, then tilted her head to glare at him fiercely, her tone filled with defiance:
"Huo Yuhao! If you've got the guts, let's race! Let's see who finishes first!"
It was all this guy's fault!
If he hadn't exposed her identity, she wouldn't have been slapped with an extra fifty laps of punishment!
She had to settle this score today with interest!
Huo Yuhao merely glanced at Wang Dong'er, said nothing, and maintained his original pace, completely ignoring her provocation.
Seeing him act this way only fueled Wang Dong'er's anger, and she immediately quickened her pace, determined to overtake him.
Yet no matter how fast she ran, the moment she slowed down, she would be caught and passed by Huo Yuhao.
"This guy, a one-ring soul master... how is his stamina so good?"
Wang Dong'er could only watch, helpless and unwilling, as Huo Yuhao ran past her.
His unbuttoned school uniform, soaked through with sweat, clung tightly to his body, outlining his solid muscles.
Hmm...
They were actually quite nice.
Wang Dong'er's pretty face flushed red, and she quickly turned her head away.
At this moment, Zhou Yi also arrived at the square. Looking at the collapsed students, she shouted angrily:
"Get moving and run! Do you want to be expelled?!
Huo Yuhao is only a level twelve soul master, yet he's faster than all of you. Aren't you ashamed?"
These words acted like a stimulant for the students, forcing them to start running with renewed effort.
Losing to a level twelve soul master was just too embarrassing!
However, after running for a while, they realized that Huo Yuhao was simply too fast!
They couldn't keep up with him at all!
"This guy's physical fitness is terrifying! He's already lapped me several times!"
"He's practically a monster! No wonder he made it into Shrek!"
The exhausted students collapsed, complaining incessantly as they stopped once more.
"Yuhao, where are you at now?"
Cao Jinxuan was also completely spent; he didn't even know where Huo Yuhao was anymore.
"I'm on your left."
Huo Yuhao ran up from behind him.
"You've already lapped me several times, haven't you?
Brother, how on earth did you train to get such a strong physique?"
Cao Jinxuan asked, gasping for air.
Just as Huo Yuhao was about to say something, Zhao Ze suddenly spoke up:
"Yuhao, you can take this opportunity to sell the Life Crystal to those students! Once they consume it, they'll have the strength to keep running!"
Huo Yuhao was stunned; he hadn't expected such a business opportunity!
He hurriedly said to Cao Jinxuan:
"Jinxuan, my sweat contains Life Crystals. As long as you drink it, you can recover your stamina. Do you want to try?"
Cao Jinxuan widened his eyes and said in surprise:
"Yuhao, what kind of joke are you playing?"
Sweat containing a tonic? Who would believe that?
Huo Yuhao said earnestly:
"I'm serious. The strange fragrance on my body comes from the Life Crystals. If you don't believe me, you can try it!"
After hearing this, Cao Jinxuan sniffed and discovered that there was indeed a fragrance in the air!
Huo Yuhao shouldn't be lying!
But...
Did he really have to eat it?
Cao Jinxuan fell into a dilemma; he felt a bit of resistance.
If he couldn't finish the run, he would definitely be expelled by that teacher!
There was no other way; he had to treat a dead horse as if it were still alive!
"I... I'll try!"
Cao Jinxuan raised his hand to wipe off some Life Crystal, then swallowed it.
In an instant, a burst of vitality erupted from within his body.
His waist no longer ached, his legs were no longer sore, and his entire person had regained his vigor!
"Holy crap, it actually works!"
Cao Jinxuan's face was filled with surprise.
"Yuhao, I'm sold. Give me two more drops, and I'll pay you back later!"
As he spoke, Cao Jinxuan excitedly consumed a bit more Life Crystal, and immediately, he had the strength to run again.
"Haha! Now finishing a hundred laps won't be a difficult task at all! Woohoo~"
The exhausted students watched Cao Jinxuan, who had started sprinting again, and each of them wore an expression of astonishment.
Is Huo Yuhao's sweat really that magical?!
"Huo Yuhao, sell some to me too!"
The students gathered around one after another, as if they had found a life-saving straw.
Huo Yuhao nodded and said with a smile:
"I'm selling, I'm selling to everyone!"
Upon hearing this, the students cheered as they each wiped off some Life Crystal to consume, instantly becoming full of vitality.
They shouted joyfully and immediately began sprinting across the plaza.
"What's going on? Is Huo Yuhao's sweat really that effective?"
Wang Dong'er watched the students who had started running again in surprise.
There were still so many laps left; it was truly exhausting!
Should she buy some?
As soon as that thought crossed Wang Dong'er's mind, she quickly suppressed it.
"Hmph, I don't need anything from that guy!"
Wang Dong'er gritted her teeth and continued to run.
She wanted to rely on herself to beat Huo Yuhao!
However, no matter how hard Wang Dong'er tried, she ultimately failed to catch up to Huo Yuhao's pace.
After the other students had recovered their stamina and finished the full distance one after another, she ended up being the last person in the class to finish.
"You say your sweat contains Life Crystals? It can restore a person's vitality? It can even improve one's constitution and raise their talent?"
Zhou Yi looked at Huo Yuhao in surprise. After the students finished running, she had hurried over to ask about the situation.
Students who were exhausted just a moment ago could instantly recover their vitality using only that substance.
This was truly unprecedented!
Huo Yuhao nodded:
"That is indeed the case."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi revealed a meaningful expression.
She had truly learned something new today.
A classmate beside him sighed:
"Sigh, it's a pity the sweat is gone. If only we could eat some more; I feel like my constitution has improved quite a bit."
The other students also wore expressions of regret.
They wanted to eat more, too!
Just then, Cao Jinxuan suddenly thought of something and said:
"Yuhao, according to what you said, could other things from your body also contain Life Crystals? Like, say, excrement or something similar."
Huo Yuhao shot him an annoyed glance:
"Do you want to eat that kind of thing?"
Cao Jinxuan chuckled jokingly:
"If you can produce it, I dare to eat it!"
Inside the Sea of Consciousness, Zhao Ze heard this, stroked his chin, and said:
"That's right, that could work! Yuhao, just feed them that!"
Huo Yuhao was stunned:
"Ah? You can't be serious, Master. Are we really going to sell it?"
Zhao Ze laughed and said:
"It's a waste not to sell it anyway. Go ahead and sell it to them."
Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment, but thinking about the money he would need for future cultivation, he nodded.
He said to the grinning Cao Jinxuan:
"Wait here. I'm going to go get some excrement."
Cao Jinxuan's smile vanished instantly upon hearing this.
Ah, I was just joking, You're actually doing it?!
He watched Huo Yuhao's back as he headed toward the restroom and hurriedly shouted:
"Wait, Yuhao, I was just kidding!
Don't do this! Yuhao, come back!
Yuhao!!!"
