Improvement! Huo Qi's Invitation

"No! Old Bai! Slow down!"

On the training ground, after running for who knows how long, Qi Tian had fallen far behind Fang Bai.

This guy must have taken something, his stamina was endless like a bull's.

At this moment, the two were nearly a hundred meters apart, and Fang Bai had already lapped Qi Tian once.

Although Qi Tian was a Second Order Martial Artist, his physical fitness wasn't high.

Furthermore, this young master had never suffered hardship since he was a child, often staying up late watching videos and going to bars, which had already drained his body.

Although Fang Bai was only First Order, he still exercised regularly, and his physique had been improved by the system before, so his physical fitness was no worse than a Second Order's.

Mo Ming leaned back leisurely in his chair, his legs crossed on the table, wearing sunglasses. The milk tea in his hand was more than half gone, as if he were on vacation in Sanya.

"Too slow, the cafeteria is going to close!"

Fang Bai, drenched in sweat, glanced over, then silently increased his speed.

Mo Ming chuckled, then bit the straw and took a sip, immediately frowning: "It's not cold anymore?"

Then he said calmly: "Someone, get me some ice."

No response.

Mo Ming said calmly: "5 Points."

After two seconds of silence, several ghostly figures rushed over, holding a bag of ice.

At this moment, the space behind Mo Ming cracked open, and a bag of ice was handed out, along with a mobile phone QR code.

The students who had rushed over stopped in their tracks, their faces filled with regret.

Damn it! Why didn't I awaken the Space Element!

Mo Ming happily paid the points, and the hand retracted into the space, then returned to normal.

Mo Ming chuckled: "The Space Element is indeed good."

An hour later, Fang Bai was the first to complete the task of one hundred laps. His legs were trembling, and his lips were frighteningly pale.

Mo Ming said leisurely: "Not bad."

Fang Bai looked at him with vacant eyes, opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

This was the first time he had run for so long, and even as a Martial Artist, he was struggling.

Mo Ming shook the milk tea mixed with ice in his hand and said with a smile: "Want a sip? Only ten Points."

Fang Bai was about to speak when a wave of nausea surged up, and he immediately threw up on the spot.

Mo Ming: "..."

His gaze fell on the cup of milk tea, and Mo Ming didn't know whether to drink it or not.

Not long after, Qi Tian also finished running.

He lay on the ground like a dead dog, feeling like his soul had left his body.

"No, I can't! I want... to go home."

Qi Tian endured the discomfort, his Exotic Energy surging, wanting to use Heal.

Suddenly, a powerful force directly restrained him.

A cool voice came: "You used Heal twice during your run, deducted 20 Points!"

Qi Tian felt like life was meaningless.

Mo Ming said calmly: "To be honest, your physical fitness is too poor. Starting tomorrow, for the next week, you will each complete a hundred laps every day. The rest of the time will be spent cultivating. In half a month, you will represent the Gemini Class in the Martial Academy's exchange competition!"

Fang Bai: "..."

Qi Tian: "..."

Mo Ming said calmly: "Alright, you can go eat now. Friendly reminder, there are still ten minutes before the cafeteria closes."

Upon hearing this, the bodies of the two, who were like corpses, stiffened. The next second, they suddenly sprang up and rushed towards the cafeteria.

Mo Ming chuckled.

A moment later, in the cafeteria.

Fang Bai and Qi Tian sat opposite each other, their eyes fixed on the food in front of them, completely devoid of appetite.

But at this moment, they were also extremely hungry and weak.

Fang Bai swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with difficulty: "How about we just eat instant noodles?"

Qi Tian was expressionless and said calmly: "I have no appetite, I want to sleep right here."

The immense physical exertion had scattered his mind, making it impossible to concentrate.

"Teacher Mo wants to kill us, right?"

In the end, the two of them managed to eat a few bites with difficulty and, upon returning to their dormitory, collapsed into sleep.

In the afternoon, Fang Bai was woken up by the ringing of a bell.

He opened his eyes, and after his consciousness returned to his body, he felt a wave of soreness.

"Hiss!"

His whole body felt like it had been run over by a vehicle.

Fang Bai struggled to sit up, took out a Monster Core, and began to absorb it.

His goal was to reach Second Order!

Once he reached Second Order, he could go out on missions alone.

As wisps of Exotic Energy from the Monster Core flowed into his body, Fang Bai felt much better.

For the next few days, the two repeated the same rhythm every day: one hundred laps of physical training, and absorbing Monster Cores to cultivate at night.

Fang Bai's cultivation also improved daily, bringing him closer to Second Order.

One week later.

Fang Bai calmly walked into the cafeteria, his clothes still soaked with sweat. This time, he was half an hour earlier than the first time.

After a week of grueling training, Fang Bai had lost quite a bit of weight, but his demeanor had clearly changed.

There were no other classes for a week, only physical training!

Qi Tian had somehow acquired a batch of resources and was already preparing to break through.

Fang Bai, however, was facing a new problem: his cultivation resources were gone!

All the Monster Cores he had obtained from the 异空间 had been used up, and he had even exchanged Points for more Monster Cores.

"Hello! I'd like a standard meal."

Fang Bai said to the student serving food.

The cafeteria meals were usually distributed by students, and there were Point rewards for it.

"Huh? Is that you?"

A surprised voice rang out from inside the serving window.

Fang Bai was taken aback, then looked closely at the person, realizing it was an acquaintance.

"Brother Huo?"

The person was Huo Qi, who had supported them in the 异空间 last time.

Huo Qi smiled slightly. "What a coincidence. How is it? Are you getting used to the pace of life at the Martial Academy?"

Fang Bai gave a sheepish smile. "It's okay."

Huo Qi chuckled. "I remember you have Dual Elements. If I'm not mistaken, you should have been assigned to the Gemini Class taught by Old Mo?"

Fang Bai asked curiously, "Are you well acquainted with Teacher Mo?"

Huo Qi tutted. "Not exactly, but who in the entire Martial Academy doesn't know him? He's a notoriously ruthless person. His students are tormented by him. Haven't you been tormented?"

Fang Bai: "..."

Huo Qi tutted again. "But the students he trains are all pretty amazing."

Fang Bai chuckled.

They were all cultivating on their own initiative; he hadn't been carried yet.

Fang Bai suddenly asked, "Brother Huo, haven't you guys been out on missions recently?"

Huo Qi replied, "Not yet, but Old Zhang called me. He said there's a tricky mission and they're short on people right now. The mission rules require a five-person team to take it."

Fang Bai's eyes lit up. "How about me?"

He desperately needed resources right now, and a breakthrough opportunity.

Huo Qi looked at him with surprise, then grinned. "Sure! Welcome aboard!"
