Chapter 75

He felt a slight stir in his heart and immediately sensed that with his current cultivation, if he were to forcefully mobilize it, there was still a possibility of breaking through this seal. However, without a doubt, once he did so, Mu Yunyu would likely sense it immediately.

This made him recall his cultivation in his previous life, when he had also practiced physical training with his companions in a similar manner.

Without the mobilization of the Profound Heaven Art, he could only rely on his own physical strength. Although Tang San appeared frail, to a large extent, it was because he deliberately used the Profound Heaven Art to control his physical development during cultivation, so as not to stand out too much in Fenglang Town.

But after arriving at Redemption Academy, safety was guaranteed. He no longer intended to suppress his physical development. Especially since there was Beauty Lady in Jialicheng! He knew that his wife, reborn, would have no memories of her past life, so in this life, he would have to court her again to win her back. This was no easy task, especially since Beauty Lady was so beautiful and he was so ordinary. He needed to develop his physique first, at least to look better.

Du Bai led Tang San, following the other seniors, and they entered the forest behind Redemption Academy.

The back mountain was not too steep, but it was still arduous to move forward with the added weight. Although Tang San had controlled his physical development, his actual physical strength was naturally not weak. As a former God King, he understood the importance of physical strength. No matter how high one's cultivation, the body was the vessel, and the larger and more solid the vessel, the more it could carry.

The Profound Heaven Art was particularly powerful in refining the body, so although he looked frail, his strength was not insignificant.

The seniors in front of them carried heavier weights, but they still moved nimbly and quickly along the back mountain.

This back mountain was nearly a kilometer high, and from Redemption Academy, the climb was about seven hundred meters. Fortunately, the terrain was relatively gentle, making it not too difficult to climb.

The last three to return would not get lunch. This was the requirement for the physical training class.

"Besides this kind of outdoor training, are there other ways to train in the physical training class?" Tang San asked Du Bai beside him.

Du Bai nodded but did not speak.

"What other ways are there?" Tang San was still curious.

Du Bai smiled bitterly and said, "Don't talk, conserve your energy. You'll be in trouble soon."

Tang San smiled slightly and said, "Alright, let's go."

By the time they crossed the first mountain, Du Bai's forehead was already slightly sweaty. But he was surprised to find that Tang San, participating in physical training for the first time, showed no signs of change.

At this point, everyone's physical differences were not yet apparent, partly due to the different weights they carried. So they were mostly moving together.

The descent was no easier than the ascent, especially with the added weight. The path down was steeper, requiring careful control of one's body and strength to avoid slipping.

Although Tang San did not see Mu Yunyu, he could faintly sense that the teacher was nearby, following them.

And the focus was likely on him, the new student.

After descending the first mountain and following the mountain pass, the path was relatively flat. Most of the thorns on the road had been flattened, clearly a route they often took.

The people in front began to speed up, and the sound of heavy breathing could be heard from the group under the weight.

Tang San and Du Bai were still at the back. Du Bai gritted his teeth, maintaining a steady pace to conserve his energy as much as possible.

Tang San followed beside him, and the forty kilograms of weight was not much of a burden for him.

When they started to climb the second mountain, the differences began to show. Some of the seniors in front began to speed up, and Du Bai's forehead was already more sweaty.

Tang San did not speed up, just following him silently.

Occasionally, when Du Bai looked at him, he found that although Tang San was moving at the same speed, he did not seem tired at all, only slightly sweaty on his forehead.

When they reached the peak of the second mountain, Du Bai's breathing was clearly unstable.

"If you can, go ahead," Du Bai said to Tang San.

Tang San shook his head, "I can barely keep up with you. How about you?"

Du Bai smiled bitterly, "Every physical training class is a painful process for me! Fortunately, I don't have to participate in the practical classes. I'll rest in the afternoon. But if you keep following me, you won't get lunch."

Tang San said, "No, we'll work together. Give me some of your weight."

Du Bai immediately shook his head, "No, no, I can manage. Although Teacher Yu has high standards for us, it's all for our good, and we all know that. No matter what, we can't cheat."

Tang San looked at him with some surprise, feeling a newfound respect for this junior.

When they first met, Du Bai seemed a bit frivolous, but he showed a lot of perseverance during cultivation and study.

"Let's work together."

Continuing on, Du Bai's physical energy was clearly depleted, while Tang San could still hold on. The figures in front of them gradually disappeared, leaving them at the back.

A hundred kilometers of mountain roads and a hundred kilometers of flat ground were completely different concepts, especially under the restriction of cultivation.

By the time they reached the fourth mountain, Du Bai's physical energy had dropped significantly.

"Go ahead, to be honest, I always return in the evening. If you have the stamina, go ahead, I'll tell you the way," Du Bai said helplessly.

Tang San thought for a moment and said, "I'll take you with me."

Du Bai still shook his head, "No, I want to rely on my own strength."

"You don't need to worry about him; otherwise, you won't achieve the purpose of physical training for yourself," a pleasant voice said at that moment.

Tang San and Du Bai's vision blurred, and Mu Yunyu had already silently appeared in front of them.

With a flick of her hand, two shadows flew toward Tang San.

Tang San instinctively reached out to catch them, which turned out to be two weights.

"Add two weights to you, and proceed on your own. This is the map," she said, tossing a leather map to him.

Tang San silently attached the two weights to his body and looked at Du Bai, who waved at him.

"See you at the academy." Tang San bowed to Mu Yunyu and got up, quickly climbing the mountain.

Watching his agile and clearly faster figure, Du Bai opened his mouth and couldn't help but say, "Everyone looks about the same, how can he have so much stamina?"

Mu Yunyu said irritably, "Because his foundation is better than yours. Get up quickly, unless you want a whipping." As she spoke, she took out a whip from somewhere and swung it in the air, making a crisp "snap."

"Teacher Yu, I'll go!" Du Bai struggled to get up and continued moving forward with difficulty.

No longer following Du Bai, Tang San sped up. The sixty kilograms of weight was not a significant burden for him, and since he had been moving slowly with Du Bai, his physical energy was not greatly depleted. Now, he took large strides and moved forward quickly.

As his physical energy was consumed, his body began to feel hot, and his breathing became heavy. But the flow of blood in his body, the stimulation to his body, and the mental load from physical exhaustion gave him a strange sense of pleasure, like a thorough release.

His speed also increased, occasionally glancing at the map and the sky to determine his direction, and he continued to move forward quickly.

However, due to the time spent with Du Bai, he never saw the figures of the others in front of him. It wasn't until he was close to the destination that he saw Cheng Zicheng.
