They spent their days exhausted, working like dogs.
Seeing that the students had already gotten used to the intensity of the training, Ye Qiuling finally took pity on them and said, "You don't need to train these next few nights."
"Really?!"
The students in Team 1 looked at Ye Qiuling in disbelief, and as she nodded, happy smiles spread across their faces.
God knows how they got through those twenty-odd days.
Have you ever seen someone being chased by a wild boar in the mud on a rainy day?
Have you ever seen a giant black ant chasing someone while they climb a rock?
Have you ever seen people walk a tightrope with birds pecking at their heads?
Have you ever seen a weighted wristband that gets heavier every day?
Never seen this before!
You wouldn't believe it! They experienced it firsthand over the past twenty-odd days, having to dodge attacks from the instructors every now and then while running.
If you get caught by the instructor, you'll have to wear a weighted wristband every pound, but the maximum weight is fifty pounds.
On the first day, they were still able to stubbornly walk back to their dormitory, but on the second day, they didn't even want to crawl anymore.
I wish I could die on the spot.
I was so exhausted I looked like a ghost; I was practically crawling back to my dorm in the dark.
Hearing Ye Qiuling say that there would be no training today, Xia Shizhao breathed a sigh of relief. She had been through a lot these past few days. Ye Qiuling glanced at her and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
However, not training today does not mean the training is over.
"Weren't you curious why we're the only ones training here?"
Upon hearing her speak, the students instinctively stood at attention.
“They are training at the training ground on the east side, and,” Ye Qiuling paused slightly, “they will be your opponents for the last three days.”
"ah?"
"Do you see that over there?"
She pointed to a particularly eerie and terrifying forest to the side, "Your battlefield will be in three days. It occupies one-third of the area of Stone Star. Apart from the Potion Department, it is divided into forty classes, which means you will have thirty-nine opponents."
"The rules are: there are forty teams, and each team has three people carrying the 'Life Flag'. If all three Life Flags are taken away, the team is eliminated. Tomorrow, you can choose the people you want to recommend, and the day after tomorrow, I will give them the flags."
Xia Shizhao, who was at the front of the line, raised his hand: "With thirty-nine opponents, are we going to be targeted?"
“Smart,” Ye Qiuling snapped her fingers, a smile playing in her eyes, and glanced at her lightly. “Because you are my students, and they are also my students, it’s possible they will remind the students to form an alliance.”
"········"
"So, are you confident you can take them down?"
"have!"
"Let's disband."
"See you tomorrow, instructor!"
Some of the bolder students would walk by with a grin, then suddenly turn tail and run away as if they'd seen a ghost.
Ye Qiuling was completely baffled. She waved her hand, indicating that they didn't need to talk to her, and walked alone to the shade of a tree. Looking at the group of students who had started to revel, she shook her head helplessly. They were still just a bunch of kids.
"Liberation is here! Hahahaha!"
"Let's go! I'm going to lie in bed and relax."
"See you tomorrow, Shi Zhao and Ru Xuan~"
"See you tomorrow."
After these days of getting to know each other, the classmates' relationships have improved a lot. Those who used to look down on Xia Shizhao and Liu Ruxuan have also stopped giving them disrespectful looks and are now full of admiration. Although Xia Shizhao and Liu Ruxuan are petite, they are much more hardworking than the others. They deliberately gained weight and walked back even when they were exhausted. After getting used to it for a while, they even did extra training at night. Neither of them would give in, and when they were so tired that they could hardly move, they had to help each other back.
They even went so far as to challenge General Ye to a match.
Of course, they suffered repeated defeats.
That was all fine, but what was excessive was that they became more determined after setbacks, working even harder than the rest of the class. In the end, Xia Shizhao's speed was only slightly slower than Ye Qiuling's, and Liu Ruxuan was a little behind, but she still surpassed many people in the class.
The two girls, who had initially harbored feelings for each other, suppressed their restless hearts. They preferred girls who could be charming and ask for help, while the overly ambitious and ruthless girls were not suitable.
"Okay, I'll just wander around aimlessly today, recharge my energy, and send my location via WeChat."
"good."
The two people in the front row sneezed one after the other.
Xia Shizhao touched his nose, wondering if he had caught a cold from getting too wet.
Are you alright?
Liu Ruxuan stood beside her and asked.
Xia Shizhao shook his head, "I'm fine, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. No extra training tonight. Time to rest?"
"Okay, what are you going to do?"
"I'm going back to sleep, I haven't slept well at all." With that, Liu Ruxuan waved her hand, stretched, yawned, and walked towards the dormitory.
Xia Shizhao wasn't sleepy at all. He glanced around aimlessly and noticed that Ye Qiuling hadn't left. His gaze paused for a moment, then he suddenly drifted towards the forest and stepped inside.
Now that I'm not training, I can finally take a good look around here.
As I entered the forest, a damp, post-rain-soaked air rushed into my nostrils.
Red roses were in full bloom by the roadside, and the crystal-clear dew reflected a shimmering glow under the moonlight.
Stone Star is quite different from its name; it's covered in vegetation. I remember reading in history books that it was a desolate place.
Xia Shizhao walked along kicking small stones, looking utterly bored.
The rustling sound of leaves swaying in my ears.
Suddenly, her eyes narrowed as she sensed someone following her. "Who!"
There was silence behind her. Xia Shizhao frowned. She clearly felt someone was following her.
He placed his hand on the medicine hidden at his waist and slowly moved towards the bushes.
Parting the grass, I found a wild rabbit.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
That scared me to death.
Xia Shizhao is now traumatized by anyone following him.
Once she was captured by the Xia family and almost given away, and another time she was captured by Ye Qiuling and forced to jump off a cliff.
Those years were filled with fear and trepidation.
Having finally escaped the control of the plot, she didn't want to be knocked unconscious again.
Seeing the wild rabbit running away at high speed but with an exceptionally plump body, Xia Shizhao narrowed his eyes and gave chase.
We're having barbecue tonight! Wild rabbits this fat are hard to find!
Who knew the rabbit would run so fast that even Xia Shizhao, who had been training for a long time, couldn't catch up.
After chasing the rabbit for a long time, Xia Shizhao was completely bewildered.
I looked up at the lush trees and then glanced at my surroundings.
Her face fell.
I was so stupid.
It must be possessed, following the rabbit for so long.
I'm lost.
We haven't caught the rabbit yet! My barbecue!!
Why am I so unlucky?!
Xia Shizhao was agitated. She scratched her hair, which was a mess, and opened the navigation. She found that she had driven quite far. Seeing that there was still time, she suddenly stopped worrying.
It looked around the forest like a curious little animal, looking here and there, touching everything. When it saw some medicinal herbs, its eyes lit up, and it ruthlessly picked them.
Mine, mine, all mine!
Free herbs...hehe~
Xia Shizhao, who had a great harvest, grinned lewdly.
However, she still sowed another batch of seeds, leaving some for future use.
Standing up, I looked at the almost completely destroyed herbs, then glanced longingly at the neatly trimmed lawn, regretting that I hadn't brought larger compression bags.
After all, there aren't many naturally growing herbs like this anymore, and the soil is especially good.
They're all treasures.
At that moment, Fu Ziran, who was in the laboratory, suddenly sneezed. She had a bad feeling and a sense of foreboding, as if she were being watched by a thief.
I glanced at the few herbs on the table, stretched, and decided to pick some herbs tomorrow.
The plants were just planted a while ago, and they should be almost fully grown by now.
After a busy day, she was so tired that she could barely keep her eyes open. She pulled up her eye mask, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep immediately.
There's still not enough Fiery Grass. Ye Qiuling needs to find a way to go to the Mermaid Planet to find more for herself, otherwise the antidote won't be made.
No, I'm so sleepy, I've been using my brain too much.
Fu Ziran drifted off to sleep in a daze.
