The instructors finally managed to calm everyone down and led them back to their dormitories.

However, given this situation, many people will definitely not be able to sleep tonight.

"Hey, Wang Zheng, do you think this technique is really that powerful? It can increase our cultivation speed, so does that mean we won't have to keep releasing our superpowers to cultivate anymore?"

Mei Yiqi wasn't familiar with the others, so in her excitement, she could only confide in Wang Zheng.

"How would I know? I was just saying polite things today. I'm not even sure if I'll actually learn anything from it."

What's the point of thinking so much? Just rest now so you'll be energetic tomorrow. Studying hard is the right thing to do.

You don't even know what the cultivation method looks like, yet you're thinking about what abilities you'll gain after practicing it?

Wang Zheng replied patiently.

At this moment, Ling Tong chimed in, "That's not quite how it works. If we can gain some understanding, we'll have more confidence. If we can't even get the basics right after seven days of military training, where will we, the naturally awakened ones, put our faces?"

Yu Kan echoed this sentiment.

Wang Zheng retorted irritably, "Then go and gather information! What's the use of just muttering about it here?"

He had little confidence in this technique to begin with, and now that Ling Tong had hit a nerve, he was naturally furious.

Ling Tong looked dejected: "I was just saying. The lights are off now, where else can I go to gather information?"

Wang Zheng once again kindly advised, "Go to sleep. I know you're all excited, but make sure you get enough rest so you'll have better energy to learn the techniques and practice tomorrow..."

Ling Tong interrupted, "I understand the reasoning, but I'm just too excited to sleep!"

Wang Zheng finally snapped, threatening fiercely, "From now on, if anyone speaks again, I'll beat them up! I, Wang Zheng, will recognize you, but my Big Hammer won't!"

The dormitory fell silent instantly, with only the ticking of the clock proving that time hadn't frozen there.

The other three lay silently in bed, unable to sleep, just staring at the ceiling with their eyes wide open, but dared not utter another word.

Because they knew that Wang Zheng, that bastard, was really capable of taking action.

None of them wanted to go to the meeting tomorrow with bruises and swelling on their faces.

————

The next morning, Wang Zheng and his roommates all had dark circles under their eyes, including himself.

When they went out to gather, they found that everyone looked the same, with an ethereal aura.

It's like they practically tattooed "I didn't sleep all night" on their faces.

The principals looked at the students' expressions with some relief, it seemed that the so-called "hunger marketing" made sense.

By whetting their appetites beforehand, we won't have to worry about the students not working hard in their cultivation.

After everyone finished their breakfast in batches, the joint military training officially began.

However, the students all cried out in despair, because this was completely different from the cultivation they had imagined.

The instructors didn't give them any martial arts manuals or teach them any techniques. It was the same old routine: standing at attention and marching in step.

There were still no changes by the afternoon, so they added a marching exercise, which they kept doing.

He ran until he was exhausted and then had to be carried away.

Wang Zheng also began to speculate whether this was a prerequisite for the horizontal training method, since running is the simplest way to improve physical fitness.

So he first ran alongside the queue, and then he saw all the students in the class off.

After the last person collapsed from exhaustion, only the instructor and he were left staring at each other. Then the instructor also vomited from running, but he acted as if nothing had happened.

Wang Zheng asked the instructor with an innocent look, "Is it enough to just run until you're exhausted?"

The instructor nodded, panting heavily.

Only then did Wang Zheng increase his speed and start sprinting at full speed.

She was still complaining in her heart that they hadn't told her earlier. She had been jogging with the group for so long, and it was only a warm-up. She hadn't even broken a sweat yet. If they had told her earlier, she would have sprinted at full speed.

Wang Zheng sprinted at full speed for dozens of laps before finally stopping.

By this time, almost all the students who arrived after their class had run away, leaving only Wang Zheng standing there looking innocently at his instructor.

However, seeing how fierce he was, the students from the other classes were quite frightened.

Seeing him bracing himself on his knees, panting heavily, the instructor asked, "Can you still run? Have you reached your limit?"

Wang Zheng stood up straight, took deep breaths repeatedly, and waved his hands.

The instructor then led him into a huge building behind the training ground.

Upon entering, a wave of steam hit him. Looking at the changing room and shower room in front of him, Wang Zheng was at a loss for what to do.

The instructor grinned maliciously, looking like he was waiting to see a show: "Go change into your swim trunks first, then rinse yourself off, and then go in for a bath. Someone will guide you inside."

Taking a bath? Although Wang Zheng was a little confused, he still followed the instructor's instructions, changed his clothes, took a shower, and went straight in.

After walking a few steps, the space suddenly opened up to reveal a huge swimming pool, divided into sections by a grid. The water looked murky, and countless students were soaking in it, their expressions contorted in pain.

There was another instructor nearby, who poured a bucket of black slime into another pool, and then murky liquid kept gushing out from the bottom of the pool.

At this moment, an instructor approached and led Wang Zheng to a spot: "Here, sit down. Don't put your head in the water. It might hurt a little, but hang in there. It'll be very good for your body. The longer you hold on, the better it will be."

Wang Zheng nodded and, without the slightest hesitation, plopped down on the floor.
