Chapter 22 Shrek's "Classic" Project
The students in the class looked at each other in bewilderment. They had all just been admitted; who would fight in the college for no reason? And even if they did, who would admit it?
Surrounded by beautiful women, Wang Dong's expression froze. If Huo Yuhao had been a bit more stubborn, they really would have started fighting. Was Shrek Academy really that strict about fighting? In that case, Huo Yuhao had actually helped him out once.
Zhou Yi glanced around and, finding that not a single person stood up, raised an eyebrow. "What a bunch of useless trash. Don't you know what it means to be a coward who doesn't dare to cause trouble? All of you, get out here and run one hundred laps around Shrek Square. Anyone who doesn't finish, hmph, will face the consequences!"
Upon hearing this, the whole class erupted in uproar. It was only the first day of school, and classes hadn't even started yet, and they were already being punished for not fighting. Who could accept that?
Immediately, two students stood up. It was Huo Yuhao and his deskmate Lin Zeyu. Lin Zeyu originally wanted to talk back, but Huo Yuhao's action of standing up with him forced him to swallow the words that were about to come out.
"Why are you standing up?" Lin Zeyu and Zhou Yi asked at the same time.
At this moment, everyone in the class noticed the two students who had stood up in the corner of the classroom, and for a moment, nearly a hundred eyes in the class were focused on that corner of the classroom.
"Um..." Even with Huo Yuhao's experience, being stared at by so many people was still quite embarrassing. "Weren't we supposed to go for a run..."
With that, Huo Yuhao walked outside on his own, leaving the class in silence.
The people in the classroom looked at each other, unsure whether to stay or leave. Lin Zeyu, in particular, couldn't bring himself to say anything back; the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat and swallowed back down.
However, with Huo Yuhao taking the lead, a few more obedient students quietly followed his instructions and slipped out. This did not ease the awkwardness in the classroom; instead, it made the other students sitting in their seats even more restless.
"What are you all standing there for?! Can't you move?!"
Suddenly, a terrifying aura surged forth from Zhou Yi, the powerful fluctuations of her soul power making every student present feel breathless. Rings of soul power then rose from beneath Zhou Yi's feet.
Two yellow, two purple, and two black spirit rings—six rings in total—radiated an indescribable aura of power. This Teacher Zhou was actually a Soul Emperor-level expert, and possessed two ten-thousand-year spirit rings. It's no exaggeration to say that if she wanted to deal with these hundred elementary school students, it would be a piece of cake.
Under immense pressure, even though some students were still somewhat resentful, they could only slink to their feet and walk out. Zhou Yi released and then retracted her spirit rings, watching the students leave the classroom with a blank expression.
"Just a reminder, you only have one hour—no, half an hour has already passed, not even a full hour. If you don't run one hundred laps within the allotted time, you'll fail. This is your first test after entering the school. As for the consequences of failing, well, I'm sure many of you have heard of my name. Think it over carefully!"
Upon hearing her words, the students immediately sped up, quickly leaving the classroom and running onto the playground.
"This Huo Yuhao... really doesn't play by the rules..."
-------------
By the time the rest of the class arrived at the playground, Huo Yuhao had already run two laps. All he needed to do next was find a target to follow and run slowly behind. Who should he choose?
Let me think. I need to maintain a relatively consistent speed throughout. It can't be too slow, otherwise I won't be able to reach my physical limits, nor can it be too fast, otherwise I might not be able to keep up.
Let me see who will be "honored" to be my windbreaker this time. Huo Yuhao released his martial soul and activated his first soul skill, observing the situation of everyone on the playground.
Soon, Huo Yuhao selected his "target"—a petite girl who wasn't particularly beautiful, but had a delicate and pretty appearance.
The opponent's soul power level seemed to be around level 20. Although the soul power level was quite high, due to the length of his legs and the need to conserve energy, his running speed was just at a level that Huo Yuhao could maintain for a long time.
Moreover, a seemingly delicate young girl probably doesn't have much of a competitive spirit, so she's unlikely to speed up for no reason.
I've decided on you!
Huo Yuhao's speed remained the same, but the girl gradually closed the distance. As the two brushed past each other, Huo Yuhao also picked up his speed and followed half a meter behind the girl.
For the first ten minutes, Huo Yuhao felt he could hold on, but as his body temperature gradually rose, he naturally began to sweat profusely.
Producing so much sweat during exercise clearly indicates that the body temperature has reached its limit, forcing the body to use some of its energy to dissipate heat.
At this point, we are basically close to the limits of normal human physical condition. We are just one step away from breaking through the limits of our body. Maintaining this state for a long time will not only damage the body, but may even lead to shock.
Once this threshold is crossed, muscle cells that cannot obtain enough energy from the blood will begin to phagocytose in order to obtain the energy needed to maintain bodily functions. At this point, the damage to the body is almost irreversible.
Under normal circumstances, apart from athletes, very few people can maintain their bodies in this state for a long time, let alone break through this limit. What Huo Yuhao needs is not just to stay on the edge of the limit, but to truly break through the limit!
At this moment, my whole body felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead, and every step I took was a test of my will.
The girl's silhouette in front... seems to have multiplied into two?
Huff...huff...so tired...I've never been this tired, not even in my past life...
Why not live a carefree life like in your past life? Go to a decent school, study a decent major, and find an easy, high-paying job. Why bother pushing the limits of the human body?
The lead weight on my legs seems to have increased... and... I feel like I'm getting further and further away from the person in front of me...
Feeling his consciousness fading, Huo Yuhao bit his tongue hard, and the intense pain brought him back to his senses.
I've already transmigrated, I can't just give up because of this little difficulty, right? If I can't even persevere through this, what makes me think I can recruit Hyotei? If I can't even compare to Huo Gu, what right do I have to pursue the path to godhood?
He squeezed out a wisp of soul power, took out the stamina potion he had previously purchased from the Nine Treasures Merchant Guild from his storage soul tool, tilted his head back and drank it down in one gulp. The salty-sweet potion mixed with the taste of blood went down his throat.
Licking his still-dry lips, Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth and sped up to catch up with the girl in front of him.
Another ten minutes passed, and Huo Yuhao, who was already struggling to hold on, still couldn't feel any nourishment in his meridians.
Is that still not enough?
What went wrong...? My physical condition is already bad enough, so why is it still not working!
Huo Yuhao tried to recall the scene in the original novel when Huo Gua triggered the special state of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, but unfortunately, apart from the need for the body to enter a state of extreme limit, there was not much description...
Limit... Limit...
What exactly is the limit?
Looking up at the back of the girl whose name he didn't know, Huo Yuhao seemed to understand something.
After taking a small sip of the previously prepared salt water, Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth and began to accelerate again.
hurry up…
hurry up……
Tang Clan members, hurry up!
Xiao Xiao, who was in front, seemed to notice that the person behind her was speeding up. She looked back with some confusion and, seeing Huo Yuhao's crazy appearance, took the initiative to step back and make way for him.
Xiao Xiao only saw Huo Yuhao's figure brush past her, accompanied by a slight breeze.
"What's gotten into this guy?"
……
Another ten minutes passed, and Huo Yuhao was so tired that he didn't even want to open his eyes. He was only half-closing them to keep himself from going astray.
After an unknown amount of time, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt a warm sensation in his lower abdomen. Although his soul power was almost depleted, this warmth slowly flowed through his limbs and bones, slightly relieving the soreness in his muscles.
This is... the special state of the Xuan Tian Gong nourishing the meridians mentioned in the original text?
