Physical training
When Lin Bai opened her eyes again, she found herself lying in a transparent capsule-shaped treatment chamber. She tried to raise her head, and the glass wall gently parted, revealing a wide field of vision, enough for her to sit up.
She looked around. The air in the cabin was fresh and quiet, and soft light shone through the portholes.
Lin Bai's gaze unconsciously fell on the small trestles beside the cabin. Grandma lay quietly there. Even with her eyes closed, fatigue was evident on her face. Her eyes were dark blue, a clear sign of staying up late. Lin Bai felt a pang of pain in his heart. Looking at his grandmother's expression, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of regret.
As if she sensed Lin Bai's awakening, grandma slowly opened her eyes. The moment she looked at Lin Bai, Lin Bai felt that grandma's eyes suddenly lit up.
Grandma stood up gently, walked to Lin Bai, and said in a hoarse voice: "Grandma knows that my Xiaobai is a good child with ambition, but Xiaobai, can you slow down a little and look at yourself now? It's been less than a week since you started school, and you have made yourself like this..." Her words suddenly paused, tears flashed in her eyes, and a tear slid down her eye socket, soaking the sheets.
Lin Bai looked at his grandmother's tearful eyes, and an indescribable pain welled up in his heart. Grandma turned gently, took out a handkerchief, and carefully wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her shoulders shaking slightly involuntarily.
Lin Bai tried to speak, but a sharp pain shot through her throat, completely blocking her voice. She could only weakly open her lips, trying to express her feelings, but the pain made it impossible for her to make any sound. She could only frown silently and endure it silently.
Grandma turned around quickly, noticed her pain, held her hand tightly, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't talk, child. You were also injured inside. You were bleeding a lot and your throat was damaged." Her eyes were full of heartache and love.
Lin Bai raised his hand slightly, signaling his grandmother not to worry too much, and sighed in his heart that he was too impatient after all.
A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Her sharp edge made some people anxious.
After all, in this heavily guarded urban area, especially around the academy, a huge dark beast suddenly appeared. How could such an absurd thing not cause a shock?
Lin Bai knew in his heart that there must be someone behind the scenes manipulating the direction of the wind.
With her current abilities, she is unable to compete with this situation at all. She can only temporarily restrain her edge, keep a low profile, and accumulate strength.
What's more, how could she withstand the power of many gods at this moment?
She understood that if she relied solely on the power of the gods without strengthening her own cultivation, she would eventually fall into a state of self-destruction.
Therefore, she decided to start with those less powerful gods, first training her body, and then gradually summoning gods. Only when she was strong enough could she truly control everything.

After his injuries were almost healed, Lin Bai finally returned to campus and resumed his normal study and life.
However, as soon as she entered the classroom, she felt an unnatural and dull atmosphere in the air.
The classmates who were originally full of energy in her eyes now all looked pale and had empty eyes, as if they had lost all their vitality.
Her heart tightened and she quickly walked to her seat, looking down at Li Dong who was lying on the table next to her and sighing.
"What happened?" Lin Bai asked in a low voice, his eyes full of concern and confusion.
Li Dong managed to raise half of his body, panting as he looked at her, his eyes filled with helplessness and exhaustion. "This physical training... I don't want to go anymore, wuwu..."
"Physical training?" Lin Bai frowned, feeling a little confused.
Li Dong's face suddenly turned painful, and he forced a wry smile. "It's because we summoners have to participate in physical training in order to strengthen our physique and improve our ability to absorb divine power. That training... is extremely painful, it's simply torture."
Lin Bai's heart trembled upon hearing this, thinking that this was closely related to her path of cultivation. She lowered her head, feeling a little uneasy. After all, her natural physique didn't seem as strong as that of her classmates, and she wondered if she could withstand this kind of training.
Just as she was thinking, a crisp bell suddenly rang in the classroom, interrupting her thoughts.
"Ding Dong."
Li Dong struggled to get up from the table, his face tired, but he managed a smile, "Let's go, it's time to go to class."
Lin Bai nodded and followed her silently, but his heart was filled with uneasiness.

Walking into the vast training ground, Lin Bai was surprised to find that there were already several square formations neatly arranged, and the students in each square had a solemn expression.
There was a depressing atmosphere in the air, as if everyone was mentally preparing themselves for the upcoming physical training.
Lin Bai lowered his head and glanced around, and found that most of the students were tense, with fatigue and pain written all over their faces. It was obvious that this physical training had made them feel physically and mentally exhausted.
"Lin Bai, come here quickly." Li Dong saw her in a daze and beckoned her over, his eyes filled with pain. "I think today's training will be easy, so get ready."
Lin Bai nodded. Although she felt a little scared, she followed resolutely. She knew that if she wanted to face stronger opponents in the future, she had to start training her body and mind from now on.
With the sound of a whistle, everyone stood in a new formation and the training officially began.
A man in military uniform stepped onto the platform in the center of the training ground. His gaze was sharp, as if it could penetrate the hearts of every trainee. He looked around, scanning each formation. Then, with his chin slightly raised, he said in a deep voice, "Today's training officially begins. Each team will start by running ten kilometers."
As the words fell, the training ground fell silent, and the air was filled with tension. Lin Bai's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Ten kilometers was still a big challenge for her.
She lowered her head and swallowed silently, then turned to look at Li Dong beside her, still wondering if she could hold on. However, to her surprise, Li Dong seemed unconcerned, with a relaxed expression on his face, as if these ten kilometers were just a daily warm-up for him.
Lin Bai's mood suddenly became even more complicated. She felt that she might be defeated in this physical training. She asked herself, "Is my physical condition really not good enough?" She felt panicky and her heartbeat accelerated.
However, when the phalanx slowly began to move, Lin Bai discovered that her body was not as tired as she had expected. Instead, she felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation.
Every time she took a step, the ground seemed to give her a sense of power. Every cell in her body seemed to cheer. The air became exceptionally fresh, and the speed of circulation increased, making her feel as if she had been liberated.
She paused for a moment, then an indescribable sense of comfort rose within her. Her steps became smoother, almost beyond her conscious awareness. She lifted her foot and took one firm step after another, the tension and anxiety within her gradually dissipating. She even felt like she could run faster, feeling lighter than ever before.
She couldn't help but be surprised at how she could react like this. This unnatural feeling left her somewhat bewildered, but mostly surprised. Could it be that her physical condition had quietly changed?
She turned her gaze to Li Dong again and found that she was still calm.
Her heart sank slightly. Perhaps this didn't mean anything. Perhaps this was just the physique bestowed by God on all summoners.
After running ten kilometers, Lin Bai stopped without any pressure. When she looked around, she found that everyone was calm and composed, and she felt a little relieved.
Then the officer issued another order, and this time Lin Bai was slightly stunned when he heard it.
