After an afternoon of training, everyone present except Shi Quan quickly collapsed where they stood.
They groaned endlessly. They had never experienced such a brutal training regimen before. If Qin Ming had not been watching from the side, they would have quit long ago.
"What are you whining about? Do you see Xiao Quan complaining? Isn't he training alongside you? He can keep going, and every one of you is no weaker than him. Aren't you ashamed to be whining here? You have three seconds. Get on your feet, all of you!"
Under Qin Ming's stern rebuke, everyone reluctantly got back up.
"Xiao Quan, do you train like this every day?" Yu Tianheng asked weakly, his arms hanging limply at his sides as though paralyzed. Over the course of the afternoon, he had lost count of how many barbells he had lifted.
"More or less." Shi Quan nodded.
With his Inner Force cultivation technique supporting him, training and cultivation did not exhaust him as much as it did them. Moreover, after years of continuous practice, he had grown accustomed to this kind of high-intensity training.
"Do you not know what being tired feels like?" Yu Feng asked miserably, his legs trembling as he leaned against a piece of training equipment.
Shi Quan waved a hand and smiled. "You'll get used to it eventually."
"..."
Everyone fell silent.
Qin Ming, on the other hand, sternly said, "Learn from Xiao Quan properly! Don't you all want to achieve Over-Level Absorption of Spirit Rings like him? Physical fitness and willpower are both necessary factors!"
"Yes!"
Everyone answered in unison. Who would not want to absorb Spirit Rings beyond their level?
"That's more like it." Qin Ming nodded in satisfaction and looked toward Shi Quan. "Xiao Quan, tell them about your upcoming training plans."
