"Hahaha……"

On the sports field, most people from Team 8 were squatting beside the track, catching their breath. Even Jie Qiansi, who liked to strike up a conversation, didn't have the energy to speak. She could only breathe heavily, with sweat and tears all over her face. The same was true for the others, whose faces looked like they were about to melt.

"Have we been tricked?" Yuan Dang wiped his face with his sleeve and looked at the other teams on the field: "Why do we seem to be the only ones who are exhausted?"

"The dog isn't as tired as we are." Qiao Muyi said softly. There was not much sweat on her face, but she also sat on the grass with the other girls and slowly adjusted her breathing.

They followed the method taught by Zhao Jingzhong, breathing in and out while running on the sports field. Although the breathing method is quite complicated, it is not difficult to develop body memory after trying it a dozen times, and then it is just repetition - the breathing method is the same as radio gymnastics, which has so many movements, but they are all simple movements piled up.

Many of them were afraid that the so-called exercises would be mysterious and profound, but they didn't expect them to be ordinary breathing methods, which they learned from yoga online, so they were not afraid at all. The intelligence of these civil servants was at least above average, and they mastered it completely in an hour at most.

The difficulty, however, is that they can't run it 64 times.

Each breathing exercise takes an average of one minute, and running 64 times would take an hour. However, when they run according to this breathing exercise, they will find that they get tired faster, and even if they are just jogging or walking, they can't stick to it.

They have to start over again after each interruption, but fatigue does not reset but accumulates. Most of them collapsed from exhaustion after becoming familiar with the breathing method. Only a few could persist for about 10 times, but they also soon collapsed on the side of the road from exhaustion. Zhao Huo, for example, only ran 24 times before he collapsed from exhaustion.

Xie Qiansi felt something was wrong and suddenly left to join other teams. Not long after, she came back with a sullen look on her face, "Damn, I got fooled by the instructor!"

"What's wrong? Is what he taught fake?" Zhao Huo touched the iron ring on his earlobe and said with narrowed eyes.

Xie Qiansi said: "My friend's breathing method only needs to be repeated four times, and it is not as complicated as ours. He asked the instructor, and the instructor said that there are actually three types of breathing methods. The basic one only needs to be repeated four times, the medium-difficulty one needs to be repeated 16 times, and the advanced one needs to be repeated 64 times. The more difficult the breathing method, the more efficient it is in absorbing spiritual energy."

"They all learn basic breathing techniques first, so that their bodies can slowly adapt to the spiritual energy. Otherwise, in this environment where spiritual energy is highly concentrated, ordinary people, unless they are extremely strong, simply cannot persist in practicing the intermediate and advanced breathing techniques!"

The students immediately became angry: "How dare the instructor trick us like this!?"

"But it is allowed." Xie Qiansi's face was unhappy. "The instructor only needs to teach the breathing method. Their instructor said that most soldiers start directly with the medium breathing method. After all, they are in good physical condition after training. A few can even directly use the advanced breathing method, which is more efficient than the medium breathing method."

"Even if we question him, he can still say that we have good talents and that teaching us advanced breathing techniques first is for our own good. Because if the average efficiency of basic breathing techniques is 1, then the average efficiency of medium breathing techniques is 2, and the average efficiency of advanced breathing techniques is 4!"

"People need to expend physical energy to practice, and the physical energy in a day is limited. If you can master the advanced breathing method from the beginning, your speed will naturally be much faster than others."

Li Qingxuan said: "Now, not only have we not been able to complete a complete breathing process, but we have also used up most of our energy... The instructor has at most wasted our entire morning, there is no point in complaining."

Yuan Dang asked, "Mr. Jie, have you learned the basic breathing method?"

"Of course I got it," Master Xie raised his head and said, "The basic breathing method is very simple. Listen to me..."

"It seems like none of you can complete a full breath."

Suddenly, Zhao Jingzhong, who was also breathing in the gym, came over, looked at the sweaty and staggering students, and shouted loudly: "Team Eight, assemble!"

This voice of his seemed to utilize some kind of spiritual technique; although the sound was not particularly loud, the speed at which the sound faded away was extremely slow, and everyone in the entire stadium could hear his voice. The scattered students who were resting in other places also came back to gather.

"Originally, I thought you, a bunch of gifted people, should be able to quickly master the breathing method." Zhao Jingzhong seemed very regretful: "I overestimated you. Now I can only teach you a simpler basic breathing method so that you can quickly get started."

Without exception, the students' faces twitched. What else could they do - blame themselves for not being geniuses?

I didn't expect that Zhao Jingzhong, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would hold such a grudge and disgust them a little in such a place.

"Okay, you guys remember this, the basic breathing method is... um? One person is missing?"

The students were slightly startled and looked at each other. They were not familiar with each other, so they could only check to see if their roommates were there. Soon Yuan Dang said, "Ren Suo is not here!"

“Ren Suo?” Several people who knew Ren Suo looked around and soon found him: “He’s on the runway!”

Everyone looked over and found that Ren Suo was indeed jogging on the track, his expression focused and his eyes focused on nothing else. Every time he walked a certain distance, he would gently exhale a wisp of finger-long white mist from his mouth, which was an extraordinary sight!

The students immediately remembered that when they saw Zhao Jingzhong practicing in the sports field, he could also spit out a piece of white mist as long as his arms from his mouth. Otherwise, they would not have believed so easily that this breathing method could really be used for cultivation. Several of them had tried to spit out white mist themselves, but they could not keep it up for long.

Being able to spit out white mist proves that he has performed a breathing exercise!

Zhao Jingzhong signaled the students to keep quiet, "Let him run and see when he collapses from exhaustion."

However, five minutes passed, ten minutes passed, and Ren Suo was still practicing on the track, and everyone's faces became more and more surprised. When it was almost fifteen minutes, Ren Suo finally stopped, but he did not collapse from exhaustion, but walked over refreshed!

"Why isn't he tired?" someone was surprised.

Zhao Jingzhong said calmly: "I will teach you the advanced breathing method. After a complete breathing, the spiritual energy will flow back and you can recover at least one third of your physical strength. The recovery speed will also be increased, and it won't take long before you can do the second breathing method."

"But the basic breathing method doesn't have such advantages. So generally speaking, the progress of practicing the basic breathing method in one day is only one tenth of that of the advanced breathing method, because the practice time of the advanced breathing method is longer than that of the basic breathing method!"

"However, this is only for individuals. Some people have good aptitude and can practice with the basic breathing method, but their speed is ten times the average level. Some people have poor aptitude and can practice with the advanced breathing method, but their speed can't even reach half of the average level..."

"Qualifications?" Everyone was shocked, and Yuan Dang asked directly: "Is it spiritual roots!?"

"What spiritual roots? You must have read too many novels. Aptitude is just a reflection of physical quality." Seeing their nervous look, Zhao Jingzhong did not scare them and said, "Don't worry, aptitude is just like physical quality, it can be improved slowly. For example, my aptitude seemed to be 2.13 at the beginning, and it was 2.33 when I tested it last week."

Ren Suo came over at this time, and when he heard them talking about qualifications, he perked up and asked, "Then how can we know our qualifications?"

"Once you all have cyclones, you can go and take the test of your qualifications. It's scheduled for the fifth day." Zhao Jingzhong glanced at Ren Suo and said, "Have you completed a breathing cycle?"

"Yes."

"You are in good health. Have you ever been a soldier?" Zhao Jingzhong said. "Everyone else collapsed from exhaustion, but you are still doing OK. The advanced breathing method requires spiritual energy to flow back at the end. You have to rely on your physical strength to hold on for the first 63 breathings. Most people can only practice advanced breathing after opening the cyclone... You are not bad."

"No." Ren Suo looked at the others and said, "I just...used to like working out."

Zhao Jingzhong didn't quite believe it, but he didn't care: "Then you can take a rest, and then continue to practice on your own. You can also listen to the basic breathing method, but the efficiency of basic breathing is much lower than the advanced breathing you use. Listen carefully! The basic breathing method is..."

Ren Suo knew that it must be because of the "Physical Optimization" reward that he was able to complete an advanced breathing exercise, otherwise, this otaku would definitely be exhausted.

However, he could clearly feel a heart-like pulsation in his dantian, and he did not feel any fatigue at all during the entire practice process!

The effect of "Physical Optimization" seemed to be even more powerful than he had imagined. It did not just strengthen one aspect of him, but fundamentally improved his overall physical fitness. For example, Ren Suo's waist became a little stronger, and his kidneys also became a little stronger. The effect was that he might have become much stronger in that aspect - although he could not use it.

After Zhao Jingzhong finished explaining the basic breathing method, Ren Suo was surrounded by Zhao Huo and Qiao Muyi. They hoped to practice advanced breathing methods with Ren Suo later.

"Before, the people in front of us fell one by one, and we didn't have a leader to lead the way. Now that you are in the front, I think we can challenge the advanced breathing."

Ren Suo naturally didn't care when Zhao Huo and the others said this. Several other students followed him after hearing what Zhao Huo said.

He has no interest in being low-key, and being low-key means "being low-key in life and high-key in work."

During the training camp, one should try to show his abilities as much as possible, so that he can expand his network and be noticed by the superiors, and then he will have a bright future. Although Ren Suo is not as scheming as Jie Qiansi, he will naturally not refuse such an easy benefit.

The most important thing is, this is his chance to get closer to Qiao Muyi!

He didn't forget that there was a treasure chest on his game console at home!

Strangely enough, Ren Suo originally thought that the "talented person" and the key overlapped, but until now, he had only found Qiao Muyi, Li Dan, Yu Kuangtu and two other black vests, a total of five people who had the key, while the other students and instructors did not make him feel "excited" at all.

He thought he could get dozens of keys during this training camp and use them slowly...

At the same time, a strange rumor was circulating in the village of Kamiya near the Taidamiya Mountains: someone saw a blonde woman in thin clothes, moving across the jungle at an incredibly fast speed and with incredible agility.

The only problem is that there are two villages five kilometers apart that have witnessed the blonde woman. However, the mountains of Taidamia are high and the forests are dense. Even if you don’t count the wild beasts, the mountains alone can kill people. No one can walk such a long distance in one day...
