Chapter 40

Huo Yuhao's face was pale, and cold sweat was already beading on his forehead, showing a look of extreme weakness.

Huo Yuhao waved at him, signaling that he was fine, "My mental energy is a bit drained. Wang Dong, how far could you see when you looked straight ahead just now with my mental detection?"

Wang Dong recalled for a moment and said, "I didn't pay much attention, but it seemed to be about fifty to sixty meters. The mental detection in other directions was gone. It only extended forward, increasing the distance by nearly twice as much."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao's spirits were immediately lifted, and even his fatigue seemed to lessen, "That's great. It really works. But the mental energy consumption is quite high."

Changing the range of mental detection to a single direction and extending the distance consumed almost ten times the normal amount of his mental energy. This is why he experienced excessive mental energy consumption in such a short time. However, Huo Yuhao believed that this was because it was his first attempt, and with more practice, there would be more improvement.

Teacher Fan Yu had said that when his mental detection could reach one hundred meters, he could become his student.

After witnessing the terrifying power of soul conductors and hearing from He Caitou, he became very interested in this mysterious existence.

In the classroom of Class 1, Grade 1, ninety-one students were already seated ten minutes before the afternoon class bell rang, and the classroom was unusually quiet. No student dared to speak loudly. Sometimes, a strict teacher is not a bad thing, as it promotes students' serious study.

Since there was no fixed seating arrangement, this time Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao sat together. The two eleven-year-old children both had a thoughtful look. Huo Yuhao was naturally thinking about the gains and losses of changing the direction of his mental detection earlier. It was unknown what Wang Dong was thinking.

When Zhou Yi slowly walked into the classroom, the atmosphere of Class 1, Grade 1 became solemn, and Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong also snapped out of their thoughts. Although not much time had passed, Huo Yuhao, due to his low base soul power, had already recovered most of his mental and soul energy, at least enough to no longer feel weak.

"Everyone stand up and gather in the square." To everyone's surprise, Zhou Yi only said this one sentence before turning and leaving.

No one dared to be negligent, and the students quickly left the classroom, following Zhou Yi in a neat and quiet line all the way to the Shrek Square.

They didn't see the hint of a smile in Zhou Yi's eyes. This strict and somewhat perverse teacher was thinking that teaching freshmen had its benefits, at least these new students were less rebellious and easier to control. Unlike the students in grades three and above, who, due to their own achievements, were more proud and rebellious.

A pile of iron chains had already been stacked on the Shrek Square. Under Zhou Yi's orders, the students lined up neatly.

"Wang Dong," Zhou Yi called out.

"Here," Wang Dong stepped forward.

Zhou Yi addressed all the students, "I have reviewed your entrance exam scores and the test results from this morning. So far, Wang Dong has the highest cultivation among all of you. Therefore, I announce that from now on, he will be the class leader of Class 1, Grade 1. The position of class leader is flexible; whoever can defeat him can take his place. Do you understand?"

"We understand," a few male students who were confident in their strength looked at Wang Dong with a sharp gaze. The female students, on the other hand, looked at Wang Dong with even gentler eyes.

Zhou Yi pointed to the iron chains in front of her, "These are iron clothes, specifically designed to improve physical fitness. Each of you will get one. After putting them on, start running around the square. From now until the class ends, you can use your soul power but not your soul skills. The ranking will be based on the number of laps. The last one will be expelled from Class 1, Grade 1."

"I want to emphasize one point. In my class, it's not just during exams that people will be eliminated, but at any time. Today, ninety-one will become ninety. Now, start."

As she spoke, Zhou Yi flicked her foot, and an iron suit made entirely of thick iron chains appeared in front of Wang Dong, who quickly took it and put it on.

When he put on the iron suit, his face couldn't help but change slightly. The iron suit weighed at least thirty pounds!

Upon hearing about the elimination of the last one, the students didn't dare to be negligent and quickly ran up to put on the iron suits. The male students were slightly better off, but most of the female students turned pale after putting on the heavy iron suits.

Zhou Yi said coldly, "I know that many of you want to tell me this is unfair because there is a natural difference between males and females, and there are also differences in physical fitness between weapon soul masters, beast soul masters, and battle soul masters. But I want to tell you that in my class, everyone is treated equally. Think about it, if you were on the battlefield, would the enemy spare you because you are a female or a weapon soul master? Now, start running."

No matter how much the students cursed Zhou Yi in their hearts, none of them dared to speak out in opposition. Led by Wang Dong, they all rushed to the edge of the square and started running, carrying the heavy iron suits.

No one wanted to be eliminated, so the students' spirit and energy in running were completely different from the morning.

Wang Dong led the way, running at the front. Whether in terms of soul power or soul force, he was the best among the students. Even with the iron suit, his speed did not decrease much.

The few male students who wanted to compete with him also rushed out quickly, following closely behind.

Huo Yuhao did not accelerate. He knew his physical condition well. Zhou Yi had said they would run until the class ended, and the afternoon class lasted nearly two hours. This was just the beginning! His most reasonable goal was to keep running until the class ended, rather than competing in speed with others.

As a result, when he started running, his speed was clearly much slower than the other students. He watched as everyone passed him by, but he was not anxious, maintaining a steady, uniform, but somewhat slow pace.

By the time he had run two laps, Huo Yuhao was already the last one, even the female students had passed him. But he was not concerned.

By the fourth lap, Wang Dong, who was in the lead, had already lapped him once. As he passed by, Wang Dong gave him a puzzled look.

Huo Yuhao smiled at him without concern.

Zhou Yi stood on the square, watching the students run with a blank expression, and no one knew what she was thinking.
