The next day.
Training room on the fourth floor.
The students in the duel class are listening to Wu Jiayuan's speech.
"Yesterday's training session wasn't very good. The vast majority of people were so overwhelmed by the pressure of their magical energy that they lost their ability to think rationally. That's why they were eliminated right at the start of the second round."
Wu Jiayuan looked serious and his critical eyes swept over many people.
"There are also a few who, even before running a mere 100 meters, exposed their fragile willpower. The pressure of magical energy is certainly difficult, but if they simply want to finish the run, just enduring those few seconds is enough."
"I'd like to ask, what do you think a duelist is?"
"Making a fortune? Living in the admiration and envy of others? Or simply playing cards to look cool?"
"If that's all you're thinking, then I don't think this path is suitable for you. Being a duelist symbolizes a kind of glory, and it also carries responsibilities you can't even imagine."
"This road is more difficult and full of thorns than any of you imagine. To walk this path, sufficient determination and will are just the minimum requirements. I hope you can understand this."
At the end of yesterday's training, Wu Jiayuan did not emphasize much, but gave a summary of everyone's performance yesterday.
His words made several people look away, feeling a little embarrassed.
Although no names were mentioned, the faces of the few people who gave up at the runway yesterday still couldn't stop getting hot.
What a failure!
Wu Jiayuan didn't need to say much. When they recalled their performance yesterday, they wanted to slap themselves in the face.
"In view of yesterday's training situation, today we will focus on the first stage of training. I will open the track completely and everyone will go together. I will also join you.
"I know that kids your age often lack self-discipline and need a voice of encouragement, and even more importantly, an ideal training atmosphere." Wu Jiayuan announced today's training plan.
When these words were spoken, many people secretly groaned in their hearts.
Focus on training on the track that seems to take half your life just to finish?
This is not training, it's fatal!
"Now, all of you spread out." Wu Jiayuan said decisively.
After the training, everyone in the duel class moved quickly and stood away as instructed.
Drop, drop, drop.
The digital buttons on the wall kept being pressed. After Wu Jiayuan entered the designated password, he found a place, stood there and waited quietly.
After a few seconds, the entire floor of the training room suddenly shone with a faint blue light.
This light was like a curtain, turning into a dazzling white light that covered everyone.
The familiar feeling of lightness emerged, and my consciousness gradually emptied. This time, the time of emptiness was significantly longer.
Suddenly, Lin You's eyes were completely filled with pure white.
After the white light disappeared, Lin You was already at the training ground. After seeing the scene in front of him clearly, he was suddenly shocked.
The runway is still the same runway, but it is no longer 100 meters, but a standard circular runway of about 400 meters.
Lin You suddenly had a bad feeling.
Looking at the runway, many people's breathing became slightly stagnant.
This is definitely not serious training, it's murder!
As if he had seen through the students' thoughts, Wu Jiayuan's expression turned unhappy. He snorted coldly, "The tempering brought about by the heavy pressure of magic power will only benefit you greatly. It will not only accelerate the strengthening of magic power, but it will even force out the remaining magic debris in your body."
"These magical debris are often left over from the magic supplements you use. No matter how those expensive magic supplements advertise their 'zero side effects' advantage, they still can't erase the fact that the magical debris is accumulated."
"The magic debris won't have much of an impact on your magic training, but that's only temporary. Even though this temporary period is quite long, over time, this period will be greatly advanced."
"Is it true that mana supplements can't be used continuously in a short period of time? Considering the absorption effect, that's true, but the fundamental reason is to prevent duelists from accumulating too much mana debris in a short period of time, which could lead to 'mana blockage' symptoms."
"Once the resulting magic power blockage is too severe, the duelist may not even be able to call upon magic power. Even if they can, the speed of calling upon magic power will be extremely slow and sluggish."
Having said this, Wu Jiayuan looked around at everyone before continuing, "However, magical artifacts aren't all bad. As long as they are handled properly, they can potentially turn decay into something magical."
"When you absorb various magical supplements, not only will residual magical debris remain, but also valuable magical medicinal properties. Due to your different magical constitutions, the amount of magic absorbed when absorbing magical supplements will also vary, resulting in varying amounts of residual magical medicinal properties."
"And with the help of the heavy pressure of magic here, it can help you a lot. While forcing out the magic debris, it can further absorb the remaining magic medicinal effects. Combined with the tempering of your willpower and magic itself, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone."
Wu Jiayuan explained a lot in one breath, and his words caused quite a stir in everyone's hearts.
This was the first time they heard that magic pressure had such a wonderful use. It was truly a treasure trove!
If this miraculous effect really existed, what would happen if we fought till dawn?!
When the duel class members looked at the magic track again with excitement, they felt that the track suddenly became pleasing to the eye.
Obviously, Wu Jiayuan also knows that there is motivation only when there is interest.
Simply inspiring students to reflect on their own weak willpower is likely to backfire.
But now, everyone is full of fighting spirit and just wants to start today's training as soon as possible.
Lin You was also very moved.
His magical physique is quite outstanding, but this evaluation mainly relies on the magic fusion. In terms of magic absorption, it is far behind, which is just average.
The heavy pressure of magic power can make up for his deficiency in this aspect, and it can force out the magic debris, which means that he can use the new magic supplements as soon as possible, which is very beneficial.
"I won't say any more. After all, this is your own life. How much hardship and sweat you are willing to put in depends entirely on the scale in your heart."
Wu Jiayuan's gaze returned to calm, and he said, "Now, everyone, get on the runway."
"Goal, run a full lap!"
"yes."
Everyone responded immediately, then gritted their teeth, suppressed the fear in their hearts, and stepped onto the runway in unison.
Lin You was at the front of the crowd. As soon as he stepped onto the runway, the oppressive feeling caused by the heavy pressure of magic came over him.
"Feel the magic."
Lin You forced himself to concentrate, ignoring the pain brought by the magic power, and instead focused on feeling the flow of the magic power. While running, the magic power seemed to become dull, but in fact, it was flowing at an unimaginable speed.
It is precisely because of this super-fast flow that it will bring a strong load of magic power.
With such a load, it might take more than twenty seconds just to activate a card.
But this is just the daily routine of high-level duelists. The strength of a duelist is not only reflected in the total amount of magic power, but also in the qualitative change of the magic power flow rate.
It is precisely because of this that high-level duelists can activate cards much faster than these duelist rookies, thus forming the richest card chains in the fastest time.
"Lin You, how do you feel? I feel fine, not tired at all."
Gao Jianxiang's voice came from the side.
Lin You turned his head in surprise, and his face couldn't help but twitch.
Bro, are you sure?
The expression on Gao Jianxiang's face at this moment was like that of a constipated patient who was forcing a smile. The facial expression that combined struggle and forced smile was quite wonderful.
"Really, really, a little, a little, a little..."
Gao Jianxiang looked like he wanted to express something but couldn't express it smoothly, and his facial expression was about to get out of control.
"To be honest, it is true." Lin You responded dryly.
Plop.
Gao Jianxiang, overwhelmed by the pressure, fell to the ground, and the pressure of magic temporarily disappeared.
In fact, if the running stops, the pressure stops.
Many people have discovered this secret and have fallen to the ground.
It’s not that they are lazy, nor is it that the benefits they gain from persistence are not tempting enough.
It really is——
It’s so hard!
That’s right, it’s really hard to bear.
The 100-meter track alone is already close to their limit. Now it’s 400 meters. It would be strange if they didn’t shut down.
Among those who fell, there were also top students like Cao Tianchong.
The distance they ran today was basically over 120 meters or even 150 meters, which was a significant improvement compared to yesterday.
Lin You is still holding on for the time being. The reason for his persistence is not because his willpower has exceeded the limit, but because he is cheating.
Well, actually it was Liziqiu who was grabbing his shoulders, holding his strength and forcibly dragging Lin You to continue running forward.
Magic, I need more magic!
Lin You's face flushed red, and his eyes were about to burn. He was now following a classic principle - if you want to delay, then drag it out!
With this awareness, after running for another while, only four people were still holding on. Apart from Lin You, the remaining ones were the three monsters of the duel class.
The stronger the magic power in the body, the longer one can persist in this stage, because such people can better adapt to the high-speed operation of magic, just like the size of a wooden barrel can only hold a certain amount of water.
But even so, with their magic power, it did not provide a very obvious advantage.
It's clear that the three monsters are stronger than others not only in magic power.
For example, Hu Yu.
At this moment, his eyes were red and he was trying hard to force himself to take a step forward, his eyes fixed on Lin You who was not far away from him but the distance between them was getting farther and farther.
“Ahhhh!”
Hu Yu, who originally had a somewhat aloof demeanor, now roared loudly without caring about his image at all, and quickened his pace like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey.
Why, why, why on earth?
Why is he still running?
Why can he still run?
Hu Yu was a little crazy. He couldn't hold on any longer when he was 30 meters behind. He was planning to fall down. After all, he had already surpassed everyone he should have surpassed, so falling down was not shameful.
Just as I was about to lie down comfortably, I saw Lin You passing by.
Hu Yu extended half of his life on the spot and forced himself to follow until now.
One step, two steps.
Hu Yu's steps are like those of a devil.
Three steps, four steps, five steps.
Hu Yu's pace became strange. With his face squeezed together, he ignored Pei Fei who fell to the ground and stared at Lin You's back.
Suddenly, Lin You stopped.
Hu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed genuine ecstasy, like a long-awaited rain, and even mixed with two tears of emotion.
Finally...
Hu Yu let go of the breath he had been holding in his heart, his heels softened, and he just waited for Lin You to fall to the ground.
He no longer even expected to surpass Lin You's position. As long as he was one second, no, half a second behind him, that would be enough!
Hu Yu, who had such a happy outlook, saw the following moment——
“Ahhhh!”
In the same way, Lin You let out a passionate roar and walked towards the wind with big strides.
Plop.
Hu Yu collapsed! (crying)
