Plop.
About 300 meters down the track, Lin You fell to the ground with a thud.
With the help of the chestnut ball, he managed to run more than 150 meters.
After running here, the magic power in Lin You's body could no longer be described as sluggish, but it was like carrying a mountain on his back.
I thought that if I forced myself to run, I would be able to adapt to the track relatively, but now it seems that willpower and the body's instinctive adaptability alone will not be of much help.
The most core way to adapt is magic itself.
Only when the magic power in the body becomes significantly larger, will it be possible to truly conquer this runway.
Li Ziqiu's help is considered a "cheating" behavior, but it is neither shameful nor shameful and is very useful.
This is not a meaningless persistence. The farther you run on the track, the deeper your magic power will be tempered.
Don't think it's ideal to run a certain distance, then fall down to rest and then stand up and continue running.
Under the heavy pressure of magic power, the effects of one-time tempering and intermittent tempering are completely different. Even a moment's pause will have a huge impact on the overall training.
"Damn, he finally fell."
A student who had stood up for the third time saw Lin You lying on the ground. He felt sorry for him but also felt a little relieved.
Unfortunately, Lin You was only 50 meters away from the finish line and almost completed the epic feat of running the entire course.
As for feeling relieved, that's natural.
If Lin You really ran the entire course, his self-confidence would probably be shattered on the spot.
Nowadays, people are afraid of being compared with others!
However, even though Lin You had fallen down, his 350-meter run was still truly astonishing.
Deng Yuxin fell down less than 300 meters away.
Could it be that, in terms of willpower, Lin You has surpassed all of them?!
“Huff, huff.”
Lin You, lying on the ground, had no time to care about what others thought of him. He felt like he was about to die, just like a salted fish accidentally washed ashore by the waves.
The pressure of magic power had clearly disappeared, but he still felt a sense of heaviness in his body, and pain came from various parts of his body from time to time. The intensity of today's training was indeed a bit too high.
"Coolie! (;′д｀)ゞ"
Chestnut Ball flew over with a look of heartache.
"Good work, little one."
Lin You reluctantly turned his head and smiled sideways.
Then he felt the magic power flowing in his body. Without the pressure of magic power, the flow rate of magic power returned to normal.
During this flow, one can clearly feel that it has grown a little compared to before.
If things go as expected, it should have officially reached the 130-point level.
“It’s just as efficient as I imagined.”
Lin You was very satisfied with the results of this training. Just one ultra-high-intensity training session helped him improve his magic power by about 1 point, which was an immediate effect.
Moreover, apart from the increase in magic value, the magic itself has become more condensed.
The more condensed the magic power is, the deeper the integration with the duelist will be, and the better the effect will be.
After lying on the ground and resting for a long time, Lin You finally stood up again.
In the end, there were only fifty meters left. Although Lin You finished the run in one breath, he did not feel it was easy at all.
This is undoubtedly a normal phenomenon. Completing overload training does not mean that the trainee can immediately and easily complete training with reduced difficulty.
On the contrary, it will feel extremely painful.
This is the aftereffect of excessive initial training.
Of course, if Lin You can truly adapt to the 350-meter intensity track training, running 50 meters afterwards will be a piece of cake.
But this meal cannot be eaten in one bite.
The road is still very long and we need to walk slowly.
After everyone completed the track training, Wu Jiayuan once again summarized today's training.
"Today, your overall performance was pretty good. At least you didn't disappoint me. I also saw your persistence and determination. I hope you can keep it up."
After expressing his praise and recognition, Wu Jiayuan's gaze suddenly fell on Lin You, and he said in an unexpected tone: "Here, I have to praise Lin You separately. Frankly speaking, his performance today surprised me."
"His magic power isn't outstanding in the class, and is even average. Yet, he's managed to persevere to this point with such power. This undoubtedly demonstrates his great heart and perseverance."
"Even if he doesn't show it obviously, from today's training, we can see that Lin You's desire to become stronger is the strongest in the class."
At this point, Wu Jiayuan's eyes showed deep appreciation. He took the initiative to pat Lin You on the shoulder and said, "That's very good. As a duelist, it's true that you shouldn't be too eager for quick success, but you must also not lose your determination to strive forward."
"If you maintain this state, I have a feeling you can go very far in the future. Don't worry about the current situation." Wu Jiayuan seemed quite optimistic about Lin You's future development prospects.
Lin You nodded secretly in his heart, Teacher Wu has good vision.
But what does the following sentence mean? Worrying about the current situation?
Was it because of the three duels he lost to Hu Yu due to practice? Or was it because his total magic power was relatively low compared to the rest of the class?
That being said, I was still a little underestimated.
Lin You smiled in his heart, but didn't say much. Some things are better proved by actions.
"Okay, next, let's start the training in the monster cabin."
Wu Jiayuan clapped his hands and shifted the topic to the main point.
…
Tick, tick.
In the slightly dark basement, the faucet could not be completely closed, and the sound of dripping water could be heard one after another.
Sizzle.
An old-fashioned TV with a gray screen was playing a program from the local news station.
The program was reporting that the 2017 Duel High School students were about to graduate.
Then, the scene shifted to the well-known dueling colleges in Jiangcheng, as well as some interviews with school leaders.
During the interview, the school leaders of several universities elaborated on many aspects of their school's atmosphere, environment, resources and treatment, and glorious history, and expressed their warm welcome and expectation for students to apply to their own universities.
We also hope that more high-quality fresh seeds will emerge this year. We hope that they can thrive in our school and become strong duelists who can stand on their own and contribute to society in the future.
"boring."
In front of the TV, on a worn-out sofa with lint leaking out of it and pilling up, sat a man with disheveled hair. He was wearing a gray shirt that looked like a prisoner's uniform, had a listless expression, and a scruffy beard. Not only was he unkempt, but his demeanor was almost like that of a primitive man.
Click.
The man crumpled up the empty beer can in his hand and threw it away. The splash of residual beer startled a gray mouse that was gnawing on moldy bread. The mouse squeaked hurriedly and disappeared into the hole in the corner of the wall.
The man stretched his hands on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling where gray shadows flashed.
Knock knock.
There were continuous footsteps coming from the stairs leading to the ground, but the man seemed to be deaf to the sound and continued to look up blankly.
Gradually, the footsteps got closer.
"Grey Wolf, you're still the same rotten old self."
A hoarse voice, unclear whether it was a greeting or a sneer, was heard, and someone walked into the basement.
Under the cold light, one can vaguely see a man with white powder on his face, a big red nose, and a clown look. This appearance, combined with the cold white light, gives people an extremely terrifying feeling.
"Grey Wolf" seems to be the code name of the depressed man, but he ignored the clown who spoke to him.
The clown was not surprised at the Gray Wolf's reaction. He gently touched his red nose, a sinister smile on his face, and said, "I have good news for you. You can start enjoying your favorite thing right away—"
"Dark Game!"
Just like an old puppet being replaced with a new spring, the man who had just looked listless and as if he had lost the meaning of life now had light in his eyes again.
"If this is deception, I will kill you. Don't talk to me about the consequences." The gray wolf's voice was quite low and steady, but the murderous intent that permeated it gave people a cold feeling as if they were falling into an ice cave.
The clown raised his hands in fear and said, "Don't do that. I'll piss my pants."
In an instant, the gray wolf's eyes became extremely cold.
The clown swallowed secretly, seeming genuinely scared this time. He quickly said, "Let's get back to the point. This time, the operation we are about to launch was actually ordered by the president himself. In fact, the operation has been secretly carried out for a long time."
"For this purpose, we have made a lot of preparations and collected enough intelligence."
"How many souls can it devour?"
Gray Wolf was not angry because the Joker had concealed his actions from him before. He only cared about the issues that concerned him.
The clown smiled, then said coldly, "A few souls? You underestimate this operation plan. This time, our target is five schools."
Hearing this, the gray wolf sat up straight, but then frowned and said, "Do you think this is possible?"
He did desire the living souls of the duelists, but he did not become a beast that had completely lost its mind and only had desire.
The Joker's words were nonsense to him.
But if this was really what the lord meant, he didn't mind giving his life for it.
The Joker was well aware of his concerns and immediately explained, "We've conducted several explorations of this city before, myself included, and as expected, China is indeed the most difficult country for us to infiltrate. They have a very strict crisis preparedness system. After all, this is the country where the 'World's Strongest' was born."
"However, our mission is simply to bring some 'surprises' to this city. For this 'surprise', the organization has specially prepared five fresh 'big insects' for us."
Having said this, the smile on the clown's face became more unscrupulous.
Gray Wolf also instantly understood the purpose of his trip. If he wanted to control that thing, he would need to gamble a part of his precious and qualified soul, and he was chosen as the 'sacrifice' this time.
"When does it start?" This was the only thing the gray wolf cared about.
"I'll let you know the specific action plan before the graduation ceremony on July 3rd for final confirmation."
The Joker left his last words before quickly leaving the dark basement.
