Every breath Tang San took was accompanied by stinging pain in his lungs. The fifty kilograms of ore behind him seemed to have turned into five hundred kilograms at this time, and the viscous space resistance under his feet was as sticky as a swamp, making him almost break his steel teeth. He turned his head, and his eyes fell on Gu Tian and Xiao Wu, who were walking side by side in front of him.
Seeing Gu Tian's impeccable and leisurely appearance, which could even free up his hands to help Xiao Wu straighten his temples, the jealousy in Tang San's heart completely burned away his sanity.
"Since you love to show off so much... then I will make you lose face in front of the woman you love!"
Tang San lowered his head, taking advantage of the undulating terrain and the cover of the large school uniform, and slightly hooked the fingers of his right hand. A vine of Blue Silver Grass, as thin as a hair and covered in gray, silently overflowed from the fingertips, spread rapidly along the weeds on the edge of the official road, and finally ambush precisely where Gu Tian was about to step.
"First Soul Skill: Bind."
Tang San growled coldly in his heart. He did not need to seriously injure Gu Tian, he only needed Gu Tian to lose balance at this moment and fall hard under the inertia of the fifty kilogram weight. As long as Gu Tian made a fool of himself, his almost distorted self-esteem would be relieved for a moment.
However, he never expected that in the eyes of Na'er, who has spatial perception, this subtle movement would be more conspicuous than a torch in the dark.
Na'er, who was walking on the other side of Gu Tian, suddenly turned cold. Her purple eyes shrank slightly, and her slender fingers flicked covertly in the void.
"Space--displacement."
Buzz--!
An extremely slight ripple was produced in the air. The piece of Blue Silver Grass that was originally lurking at Gu Tian's feet was forcibly moved by Na'er through the space crack to the right foot of Tang San within a few tenths of a second.
Tang San was fully anticipating the scene of Gu Tian falling to the ground, and his pace involuntarily accelerated a bit. The moment his right foot landed, the Blue Silver Grass vine tightly grabbed his ankle.
"What?!"
Tang San's pupils suddenly contracted, but under the strong inertia of the fifty kilograms of weight, his body had no time to react.
"Bang--!"
A dull crash sounded. Tang San's whole body was flattened against the hard and gravelly ground, and an extremely standard dog came to chew the mud. The fifty-pound bamboo basket was unevenly stressed and pressed on the back of his head, burying his face directly into the mud pit beside the official road.
"Oh, brother Tang San, why are you so careless? Even if you want to get close to the earth, you don't need to give this gift, right?"
Tang San's behavior of stealing the chicken but losing the rice made Na'er stop and turn his head, smiling like a little fox that had stolen the fish.
Gu Tian also stopped, looking down at Tang San, whose face was covered with mud, with a sarcastic arc on his lips. "Brother Tang San, Grandmaster is right, physical training is indeed important. Look at you, you can't even walk steadily, how will you protect yourself on the battlefield in the future?"
"You... you..." Tang San spit out a mouthful of muddy water, the hatred in his eyes almost overflowing, but he could only watch as Gu Tian and his group left briskly again.
In the afternoon, the setting sun stretched everyone's shadows extremely long.
Except for the group Gu Tian, Dai Mubai, Tang San, Ma Hongjun and Oscar almost crawled back to the Shrek Academy's playground. Everyone looked like they had just been fished out of the water, and their school uniforms were soaked black with sweat.
Yu Xiaogang was still standing there with his hands behind his back, his face stiff, but when he looked at Tang San's muddy appearance, a hint of hidden pity flashed through his eyes.
"Although time is tight, you finally completed the task." Yu Xiaogang said calmly, pointing to the two buckets of steaming food beside the playground.
Next to the two wooden barrels, stood a sturdy middle-aged man, Shrek Academy's chef Shao Xin. As a sixty-ninth level food soul emperor, Martial Soul is Sugar Bean. Although he is usually friendly to others, the dinner he prepared at this time obviously did not meet the expectations of Gu Tian and the others.
"Teacher Shao specially prepared food for you to strengthen your foundation and strengthen your talents." Yu Xiaogang pointed at the wooden barrel and said, "Each person has two white flour buns and a bowl of broth. In order to strengthen your will, these foods are taken back to your respective dormitories to eat, and it is also convenient for you to rest."
Yu Xiaogang picked up a large bowl and started to prepare rice for them. He filled two tablespoons from the pot with the smell of meat constantly coming out and handed it to Tang San. He then grabbed two steamed buns and an egg from the side and placed them on a plate in front of him.
"Take it back and eat it! When you children are growing up, your nutrition must keep up. The body is the foundation of cultivation. Without a good foundation, how can you withstand the majestic Soul Power in your body?"
Yu Xiaogang finished the meal for them one after another. Dai Mubai heard this and his throat moved. Although he was disgusted, his extreme hunger at this time made him only accept the two cold steamed buns mechanically. Tang San lowered his head, took the bowl of broth so clear that he could see the shadow, and walked back to the dormitory without saying a word.
On the other side, Gu Tian slowly returned to the independent girls' apartment after receiving the broth steamed buns with the girls.
"Bang."
The door was closed, and Gu Yue casually laid down a layer of soundproofing crystals.
"Brother Gu Tian, do we really want to eat these hard steamed buns?" Xiao Wu rubbed his shriveled belly and looked at the simple steamed buns on the table. The pair of long ears drooped in resignation.
"Silly girl, when have I ever wronged you?"
Gu Tian smiled mysteriously, and touched Dragon God Storage Box with his right hand on his waist.
Whoa--!
The small round table, which was originally a poor place, was filled with all kinds of delicacies in this moment.
It was a whole roasted golden and crispy Suotuo City famous product Heaven Dou Roast Duck with sizzling hot oil, a plate of deep Sea Soul Beast ham that was cut as thin as a cicada's wings and exuded a light salty aroma, and a large box of crystal clear white jade fruit plate that Gu Tian bought specially at Suotuo City and was placed on ice cubes.
The most tempting thing is the pot of milky white chicken soup cooked with ten thousand year old ginseng. The rich aroma of meat instantly breaks the originally suppressed atmosphere.
"Wow! It's delicious!" Na'er cheered, jumped directly to the table, picked up a duck leg and took a bite, narrowing his eyes with happiness, "Gu Tian brother is the best!"
Gu Yue, Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran also showed expressions of surprise. Although they did not attach great importance to food, after intense training, they could eat such a delicious meal, and the fatigue in their hearts instantly dissipated.
Gu Tian picked up the spoon and served each girl a bowl of warm tonic soup. Seeing their smiling faces, Gu Tian also felt full of happiness:
"By the way, you have just finished exercising, let me wash your feet!"
