Chapter 41

When Huo Yuhao, drenched in sweat, ran to the tenth lap, Wang Dong, who was in the lead, had already lapped him three times. The other students had at least lapped him once. Many of them even cast disdainful glances at him, knowing that Huo Yuhao was the weakest in soul power among all of them.

However, by this time, the students in the lead had also started to slow down. The longer the time, the more the iron clothes' effect became apparent. Even Wang Dong was drenched in sweat.

The male students who had initially followed behind Wang Dong were now lagging behind, even being overtaken by the students behind them.

Drops of sweat began to wet the ground of the track. When the time reached half a day, a frail female student fell to the ground with a thud, struggling to get up but failing to do so.

Just as Wang Dong ran past her, he helped her up, giving her a questioning look. The female student shook her head and sat down on the square, refusing to get up again. She was even unable to speak.

With the first one falling, a second soon followed. Perhaps because Huo Yuhao was at the bottom, the students, though they tried hard to persist, ultimately lacked the willpower.

Running with the heavy iron clothes was indeed a huge burden, especially since everyone had started running at full speed, quickly depleting their soul power. Relying solely on their physical strength to bear the weight of the iron clothes was a tall order for their age.

By the time an hour had passed, at least half of the students had collapsed on the ground. Zhou Yi stood there, expressionless, without urging them to continue.

Huo Yuhao was also struggling to hold on. Although he had been running at a steady pace, consuming the least physical energy, his soul power was indeed the weakest among all, and his physical strength was not much better. Being able to persist until this point was already quite an achievement. In terms of laps, he was no longer the last because of his longer endurance.

His vision began to blacken, his chest felt as if it were on fire, his mouth was dry, and his entire body was drenched in sweat, making him feel sticky and uncomfortable. The heavy iron clothes, through the school uniform, rubbed against his skin, causing a burning pain.

I can't do it anymore, I can't hold on. A voice kept echoing in Huo Yuhao's mind. He勉强催动体内的魂力注入到灵眸之中。

The Spirit Eyes brought a cool sensation, slightly clearing his mind.

No, I absolutely cannot fall here, I must keep going. Seeing many students still running ahead, recalling the accelerated improvement in his morning training after a significant physical exertion, Huo Yuhao bit his tongue hard, mustering his spirit to continue running.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a warm sensation in his lower abdomen. Although his soul power was almost depleted, this warmth slowly circulated through his limbs, slightly alleviating the muscle soreness.

This is...

The power of the Profound Heaven Art?

Huo Yuhao quickly recognized the source of the warmth. After practicing the Profound Heaven Art, the power ultimately gathers in the lower abdomen. Although he had only been practicing for a short time, he had a foundation in soul power, and converting his original soul power into the Profound Heaven Art allowed him to achieve the first level of the art.

Both Senior Brother and Tianmeng Ice Silk Worm had said that the Profound Heaven Art was very suitable for him, capable of nourishing his meridians. Is this its effect now?

As he thought, Huo Yuhao naturally followed the path of the Profound Heaven Art, feeling the warmth in his lower abdomen. This feeling was not trivial; the warmth began to circulate through his meridians.

Huo Yuhao saw that it was a faint stream of Profound Heaven Art soul power, which slowly dispersed in his meridians as it circulated, causing the warm sensation.

What surprised him even more was that his meridians were absorbing this soul power very smoothly. This was the source of the comfort that alleviated his fatigue.

Huo Yuhao, though born with a weak constitution, was very intelligent. The fact that the Profound Heaven Art could be absorbed by his body when it reached its limit meant that he could practice it while moving, not necessarily needing to meditate. This method of practice was different from regular training; the soul power increased at a slower rate but was more closely integrated with his body.

With this discovery, Huo Yuhao quickly focused his mind, slowing down his pace and quietly activating the Profound Heaven Art.

The Profound Heaven Art of the Tang Sect was brought to this world by the first generation leader, Tang San. In a sense, it did not belong to the Douluo Continent, but it was undoubtedly a top-tier cultivation method, with great benefits for health.

By chance, Huo Yuhao gradually created a method to practice the Profound Heaven Art without meditating. In this process, the main effect of the Profound Heaven Art was to nourish his body, using soul power to nourish his meridians.

Since the Profound Heaven Art gradually recovered during its circulation, a wonderful cycle formed within his body, allowing him to practice while moving.

Huo Yuhao did not realize that even the first generation leader of the Tang Sect, Tang San, had not achieved this. Only he had the unique advantage. His cultivation was still weak, so his body was often at its limit, and his mental power was strong, allowing him to sense and control this unique phenomenon.

The Tang Sect had produced many strong individuals, but none of them had the conditions Huo Yuhao had. After becoming powerful, they would not easily reach their limits, nor would they carefully feel the faint warmth in their dantian. In a sense, the Profound Heaven Art had evolved in Huo Yuhao's body.

With the regulation of this warmth, Huo Yuhao's body, which had reached its limit, was somewhat alleviated. This not only strengthened his willpower but also allowed him to focus more on guiding this warmth.

The warmth circulated according to the path of the Profound Heaven Art. When it completed one cycle, the faint warmth was almost depleted. At this moment, the cycle completed, and the warmth seemed to grow slightly, continuing to circulate.

His body became increasingly fatigued, but Huo Yuhao's spirit became increasingly excited. The nourishment of his meridians by the Profound Heaven Art in this state was exactly what he needed. Some of the delicate meridians, which required great care, became more elastic and slightly wider under the nourishment of the warmth. The unprecedented smoothness he felt wherever the warmth passed told him that what he was doing was entirely correct.

More and more students collapsed around the Shrek Square, and even the students in the lead began to struggle. The sound of iron clothes hitting the ground could be heard from time to time.
