Chapter 10 Chapter 10 “Finally…Caught Up…
Jiang Qing was silent for a long time.
"What's wrong? Jiang Qing was so good at coaching me just now, but you can't do it when it's your turn?" Zhao Peng snorted. "Or... you weren't observing or learning at all just now, you were just sleeping and slacking off!"
His voice was so loud that it quickly attracted the attention of the students around him. Three class teachers were also walking towards him.
"Zhao Peng." Shen Zhien's voice was filled with seriousness. Even though he called out softly, the innate sense of pressure from a strict teacher instantly swept over everyone. "Why are you here provoking your classmates instead of training seriously on the training ground? You're disrupting class order, and you'll be punished by running twenty laps!"
Zhao Peng was intimidated by Shen Zhien's aura and shut his mouth unwillingly. The other people who were making a fuss also kept silent, fearing that Shen Zhien would punish them as well.
The training ground covers a large area. If you run twenty laps, you will be exhausted!
"Yes." Zhao Peng answered reluctantly and glared at Jiang Qing.
Jiang Qing looked back at him generously, but unfortunately, his left eyelid twitched at this moment, causing the nerve at the tip of his eyebrow to raise.
“…” She realized something was wrong and quickly covered her eyes, but it was too late.
"!" Zhao Peng took a deep breath and his eyes widened.
Even provoking him!
Zhao Peng raised his hand: "Teacher Shen, it was Jiang Qing who provoked me first!"
Let’s die together!
Jiang Qing: “…I didn’t.”
The argument was weak, and Shen Zhien didn't listen at all. She glanced at Jiang Qing and said, "You, run ten laps as punishment."
"Why does she only have to run ten laps?" Zhao Peng was dissatisfied.
Shen Zhien gave him a look and said, "If you keep arguing, I'll add ten more rounds."
Zhao Peng shut up and didn't dare to speak anymore.
Teacher Songyue smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, let's all go back to training. Jiang Qing, Zhao Peng, start running too. If you run fast, you can still make it in time for lunch."
The two of them replied resignedly, "Yes."
Zhao Peng hummed lightly, and after warming up a little, he started running.
Jiang Qing sighed, put Zhu Tianba away, and started to act.
She started to pant after running only a few steps. When she thought about having such high-intensity training every day, she felt like dying.
Zhao Peng started less than a minute ahead of her and was now almost a lap ahead of her.
As he accelerated past Jiang Qing, he didn't forget to taunt her: "With this little energy, you still want to stay in Class A? I advise you to go back and lie down."
The difficulty and tasks of Class A will force them to face danger. If they cannot keep up the physical strength, they will not only be held back, but in serious cases, they may even lose limbs.
At this moment, all the muscle cells in Jiang Qing's body were boiling, her chest was heaving violently, and she had no extra energy to care about Zhao Peng. She held on to her breath, barely supporting her body and continued running.
After only three laps, Jiang Qing felt that the oxygen in his lungs was almost exhausted. His brain was swelling and aching, and his eyes were spinning. Especially in his throat, he felt like he had swallowed a razor blade, and his physical strength had reached its limit.
When Jiang Qing thought she was about to collapse, the changes in her body surprised her.
His physical strength, which had been rapidly declining, was now slowly recovering. His sore limbs were gradually regaining strength, and his footsteps, which had been as heavy as lead, were now extremely light. All the discomforts were fading away, and Jiang Qing even felt that his current condition was better than normal.
What's going on? Has the limit been broken?
Jiang Qing quickly checked her body. She felt that she was indeed different from before, but she couldn't tell where exactly.
She closed her eyes and looked at Zhu Tianba who was staying obediently in the mental image, making sure that she was not mistaken. The little thing had grown a little bigger.
Zhou Qi mentioned in his lecture yesterday that when spiritual beasts evolve, break through, and advance, they will transfer part of their energy to the beastmaster.
So Zhu Tianba gave her the energy converted from the Star Pattern Orchid?
A hint of joy flashed across Jiang Qing's face, and he ran the remaining five laps with extra effort.
Zhao Peng was the opposite of Jiang Qing. Even if he had good physical strength, twenty laps would be fatal. Looking at Jiang Qing who was running faster and faster as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and then looking back at his embarrassed self, he covered his abdomen, his facial features distorted by pain. He gritted his teeth, wiped the sweat from his head, and actually sped up again.
Can't lose to Jiang Qing.
Zhao Peng grew up in an environment of comparison, where people compared their family background, parents, grades... and now even spiritual beasts and talents. He was not the best in that circle, and was even crushed by others in all aspects.
His talent can only be considered average, and his spirit value is just above 80, but his long-term comparison makes him unwilling to admit defeat, even if it is just once that he can surpass those geniuses.
He did it. In the beast taming assessment, he contracted a fairy-grade iron-armored bull, and his beast tamer rating was directly set at the ninth human level.
Although he didn't completely surpass them, it at least proved that his strength was on par with theirs.
When he learned that Jiang Qing's spirit value was 90, but he had contracted a spirit beast of unknown grade, and the beast taming level was only the first ordinary level, his sense of superiority reached its peak.
But then he became a little angry. She had such talent, but she actually contracted a young animal, and a pig at that.
Do you really think she is Ji Changsu? Even Principal Ji worked very hard back then.
He couldn't stand Jiang Qing's lazy look, especially the pig beside her, so he stepped forward to provoke her.
Until the two of them were punished to run, Jiang Qing's dead look at the beginning was really disgusting, but as she ran, he actually found that her condition was getting better and better, and her speed was getting faster and faster.
Jiang Qing is like a person with pure talent. He is usually careless, but he can always crush everyone at the critical moment.
Zhao Peng thought of the inferiority, unwillingness, and admiration he had felt when he was crushed by others over the years, and he became more and more angry.
His clenched fingers dug into the flesh, and the stinging sensation forced him to hold his breath.
......
"Zhao Peng... Zhao Peng! Wake up!" Jiang Qing knelt beside Zhao Peng and patted his face.
Zhao Peng didn't know what was going on. He chased her with all his might, and then fell in front of her.
It gave her a fright.
Jiang Qing thought he was doing something bad on purpose again, so he went forward to check on him and found that he was really dying.
His face was as pale as paper, his lips were bluish purple, his chest was heaving violently but his breathing was weak.
First, he suffered a series of violent collisions, and then his adrenaline surged.
She felt that Zhao Peng was really seeking his own death.
Zhao Peng fell to the ground, his eyes were blurry. Before he lost consciousness, Jiang Qing's face appeared in front of him.
Finally...caught up with her.
He gave two weak giggles and then passed out completely.
The armored bull that had been chewing grass around suddenly sensed that its master was in danger, raised its head and looked around.
When it saw its master lying defenselessly in Jiang Qing's arms, with his vital signs getting weaker and weaker, it subconsciously thought that this was the man who had hurt its master.
Jiang Qing laid Zhao Peng flat and was about to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on him. However, just as her fingertips were about to touch Zhao Peng's chest.
"Moo!!!"
A deafening, furious roar of a bull rang out behind Jiang Qing like a thunderclap, and a strong sense of crisis instantly gripped her entire body!
She turned back suddenly!
I saw that stupid bull, its eyes were blood red at this moment, and hot white air was spewing out of its upturned nose. Its front hooves were digging the ground violently, and the grass was easily torn and rolled up.
It stared at Jiang Qing, or more precisely, at the unconscious Zhao Peng beneath her.
In the eyes of the wild bull, it was Jiang Qing who made its master fall down, and it was Jiang Qing who hurt its master. The slapping action was an attack.
The armored bull is moving!
Its body swelled rapidly, and the protruding cow bones on its back squirmed desperately under the skin. Ink-black bone spur-like cones protruded from its back, looking terrifying and threatening.
It raised its hooves and rushed towards Jiang Qing and the unconscious Zhao Peng. The heavy hooves made the entire ground tremble, and the cold silver horns emitting a cold light were aimed directly at Jiang Qing's vest.
The speed and strength of the Armored Bull far exceeded any collision during the training just now.
"Not good!!" In the distance, Mr. Songyue, who had been paying attention to the movements here, suddenly changed his expression, and his always smiling face was instantly replaced by horror.
In just the blink of an eye, the two of them were hanging out together.
A blue light flashed around her, and she shot out like an arrow, trying to stop it.
But the distance was too far, and the speed of the bull was too fast, and it seemed that it was out of reach!
"That's Zhao Peng's spirit pet, why is it going crazy?"
"What are they doing? Why don't they get out of the way?"
"Forget about Jiang Qing, but why didn't you even move Zhao Peng?"
The training ground was instantly in chaos, with exclamations everywhere.
All the students were shocked by this sudden change. They didn't know what was happening here. They watched from afar and saw Jiang Qing and Zhao Peng getting involved. In addition, the one who attacked was Zhao Peng's pet, so everyone subconsciously assumed that the two had an argument when they were punished to run.
Jiang Qing's pupils constricted at this moment and his mind went blank.
hide?
Manniu had completely lost her mind at this moment and was completely unreasonable. If she left, the unconscious Zhao Peng would be in danger, and it was impossible for her to avoid the charge that was locked on her target.
Fight it out?
“…” I can’t resist at all!!
Jiang Qing swallowed, the shadow of death had never been so clear to him.
If it had happened in the pigpen before, she would have died before she had time to feel the pain, and the visual impact would not be as strong as it is now.
Jiang Qing's scalp went numb at this critical moment of despair that was unavoidable.
Her heart suddenly trembled, and a pair of amber pupils in the picture slowly opened.
It was unfortunate that Zhu Tianba woke up at this time.
No signs, no process.
An indescribable, gentle yet extremely tenacious force surged out from the transformation core of Zhu Tianba and the Seal of the Contract, flowing through Jiang Qing's limbs and bones.
"Ugh—" Jiang Qing groaned, her body leaning forward uncontrollably, her hands instinctively pressed on the grass in front of her, or rather, between her, Zhao Peng, and the violently charging armored bull.
There are no fancy sound and light effects, no earth-shattering noises.
At the moment Jiang Qing's hands touched the ground, a golden halo, almost imperceptible to the naked eye and extremely faint and almost transparent, spread out from her hands as the center, like ripples caused by a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly forming a semicircular light shield that just covered her and Zhao Peng.
This light shield is as thin as a cicada's wing, but it contains an unshakable sense of stability.
"WoW!"
Jiang Qing didn't have time to marvel at the magic of this power.
The next moment.
“Bang—”
A dull, heart-stopping crash rang out.
The iron horns of the armored bull slammed heavily into the seemingly fragile golden light shield.
The imagined tragic scene of the light shield shattering and blood and flesh flying everywhere did not appear.
The pale golden light shield began to fluctuate violently, like the surface of water wrinkled by a strong wind, the light flickered, as if it would collapse at any time.
But, it held on.
The huge impact force caused the entire light shield to concave and deform inward, but it was resilient and did not break.
The terrifying kinetic energy of the wild bull's charge was absorbed, dispersed, and dissolved in a strange way by this thin layer of light curtain.
The strong recoil force was transmitted along the light shield to Jiang Qing's arms, and then impacted her whole body.
From the perspective of the students watching from a distance, it seemed as if the bull suddenly stopped one meter away from Jiang Qing's body.
Song Yue, who had rushed over quickly, was also stunned for a moment, but she reacted quickly and immediately controlled the Iron Bull and asked, "What did you just do?"
Jiang Qing got up from the ground, spread out his hands and looked carefully at his palms.
She looked up and saw the golden light in front of her was slowly fading. She pointed at the golden light that had not yet dissipated and said, "Can't you see it?"
Songyue: "?"
The author has something to say:
----------------------
Explain the issues in the comments section:
Each class is assigned three teachers, including the main teacher and two assistant teachers.
The crisis of the penalty run is, first, because the distance is too far, and you cannot notice it in the first time; second, paying attention does not mean always staring at the protagonist. There are fifty students in a class and fifty large spirit beasts. The teacher's main focus is still on teaching. When the teacher pays attention to the protagonist again, the crisis has already occurred; third, a beastmaster should not be a flower in a greenhouse, who needs the teacher's protection at all times. Just like the spirit beast training class may also be dangerous due to improper training. For specific reference: Zhao Peng was kicked several times by his own spirit beast during training.
Logically, I think there is no problem with this paragraph, but to make it easier to understand, I have added new descriptions such as "just a blink of an eye..."
