An important character is making their entrance! Everyone, take your time and enjoy the story as it unfolds.
-----------------------------------------
Xie Xie said with some frustration, "Why does what you say sound so awkward? You don't need to thank me; I just can't stand seeing the strong bully the weak and the big bully the small."
Tang Wulin smiled, "We are friends now."
Xie Xie pouted, "You make friends too easily. I don't consider you a friend."
Tang Wulin said, "That's not important."
Xie Xie soon regretted what he had said to Wu Changkong the previous day. Wu Changkong was definitely a teacher who kept his word. The physical training class he promised yesterday was immediately put into action today.
The basic physical training was running. The playground of the intermediate department of Donghai Academy was 800 meters per lap. Ten laps were assigned to them for the morning, and it was said to be just a warm-up.
When the students heard the number ten, they were inwardly furious, even if they didn't say it out loud. That was 8 kilometers!
However, when they saw Wu Changkong take out two sets of heavy chains to make iron clothes, each weighing 20 kilograms, and put them on Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, they didn't dare to say anything and were even extremely grateful.
If it were yesterday, with Xie Xie's temper, he would have definitely resisted, but today he had no choice. Although he was proud, he always tried to keep his word. Moreover, after today's incident, he truly admired Wu Changkong. Xie Xie had always been proud of his cold and proud personality, but this Wu teacher was even colder and prouder, and had the strength to back it up. A cold and proud man, indeed.
Tang Wulin had even less to say. He was actually quite excited about this rigorous training.
Xie Xie was a Speed-Attack-type Soul Master. At the beginning, despite carrying the 20-kilogram iron clothes, he ran very fast. Tang Wulin didn't run very fast, but he was steady and could keep up with the group.
However, after two laps, Xie Xie's speed started to slow down. Other students also began to fall behind.
By the fourth lap, his breathing was rapid, and his lungs felt like they were on fire. The iron clothes seemed to weigh several times more, and he didn't even have the energy to regret what he had said to Wu Changkong.
"How are you doing?" Tang Wulin's voice came from behind. Xie Xie turned his head and looked at him. Although Tang Wulin was also sweating, his condition was much better.
"I'm fine!" Xie Xie gritted his teeth and increased his speed. Was he almost caught up by this guy?
Tang Wulin's breathing was even, "There's a reason why Teacher Wu made us wear the weights. After all, we are representing our class in the promotion competition."
Xie Xie didn't respond; speaking was also a burden for him now.
Five laps!
Xie Xie could no longer control his body; his legs felt as heavy as lead.
Tang Wulin could have easily overtaken him but didn't. His feeling was completely different from Xie Xie's. The 20 kilograms on his body felt like nothing. After five laps, it was just a warm-up for him.
He quietly extended one hand to Xie Xie's armpit. Xie Xie felt a sudden lightness, and his steps became much lighter.
He looked at Tang Wulin in surprise.
Tang Wulin just smiled and sped up, leading Xie Xie to continue running.
Wu Changkong stood in the center of the playground, watching the disarrayed students of Class 5, his expression calm, but occasionally frowning.
"Jiang Wulin, you're quite strong, aren't you? Carry him and run ten more laps."
Xie Xie turned to look at Tang Wulin, who still had a calm expression and muttered, "Ten more laps, we need to speed up. Don't delay lunch. I haven't eaten since morning, and I'm hungry."
Xie Xie couldn't help but say, "Are you even human? Don't you feel tired?"
Tang Wulin smiled slightly, "Not really."
At this moment, a girl slowly walked towards the playground from the direction of the school gate.
She was wearing white long pants and a white top. She looked about the same age as the students of Class 5, Grade 1. She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she was quite delicate. She had black long hair and black eyes. Her figure was above average for her age, and she was very well-proportioned. Her large eyes were bright and spirited.
As she walked, her steps seemed to have a special rhythm, and there was a strange aura around her.
Wu Changkong's gaze paused on her. She wasn't wearing a school uniform, and it was already class time.
"Which class are you from?" Wu Changkong walked up to her.
The girl's gaze seemed to be drawn to something else, looking at Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, who were running in iron clothes, with great interest.
"I'm here to attend school. But they said the registration period is over." She looked up at Wu Changkong and said.
Wu Changkong frowned, "You're not a student of Donghai Academy?"
The girl said, "Not yet, but I hope to study here. Can I, teacher?"
If it were another teacher, they might have directly sent her away, but was Wu Changkong just any teacher? No!
"This is a Soul Master Academy. To study here, you need to have the ability." Wu Changkong said coldly.
"I can take the exam." The girl smiled.
Wu Changkong said, "What's your name?"
The girl said, "My name is Gu Yue."
Wu Changkong nodded, "Alright, I'll give you a chance." He then turned to Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, who were running, "Xie Xie, give your iron clothes to Tang Wulin, and come over here."
Xie Xie, with Tang Wulin's help, had recovered a bit after the two laps. He stopped, took off the iron clothes, and handed them to Tang Wulin, "Can you handle another set of iron clothes?"
Tang Wulin said, "It's easier than carrying you." He put on the iron clothes casually and then Xie Xie saw him speed up again.
His stamina... it's not human!
Breathing heavily, Xie Xie came to Wu Changkong's side in the center of the playground, "Teacher Wu."
Wu Changkong said, "Your stamina is too weak."
Xie Xie argued, "We Speed-Attack-type Soul Masters only need explosive power and agility, not strong stamina."
Wu Changkong said disdainfully, "Shallow. Alright, I'll give you a chance today. Defeat her, and you won't have to run this morning."
Xie Xie then noticed the girl by Wu Changkong's side and sized her up. He took a deep breath and adjusted his soul power, "No problem."
Wu Changkong said, "You have twenty minutes to rest. The match starts in twenty minutes."
Xie Xie didn't waste time, immediately sitting cross-legged on the ground to meditate and rest. The running had consumed a lot of his stamina and soul power, and Speed-Attack-type Soul Masters were indeed at a disadvantage in this aspect.
