Xiao Tian and the girls exchanged glances, revealing a mysterious smile: "You'll know soon enough, Tang San. I hope you don't stop me later. You know, I cultivate the sword, and if someone makes me unhappy, I'll make them unhappy, otherwise my cultivation will stagnate!"
Tang San felt an endless chill from Xiao Tian's narrowed eyes.
Not only him, but Dai Mubai and the others also felt it and made it clear that even if they couldn't help, they would keep their mouths shut.
They also had grievances in their hearts. With this time, it would be better to cultivate their spirit power and Spirit Ability, or even do what they did yesterday!
Soon, ten minutes later, they completed one lap.
At the entrance of the academy, there were several cups and a bucket of water.
The few of them picked up cups and drank, then all saw Teacher Shao Xin standing at the academy entrance.
"Oh, why is Teacher Shao Xin at the academy entrance today?"
Dai Mubai and Oscar said in unison.
Shao Xin looked at the baskets behind them, frowned, and looked at Yu Xiaogang, saying, "Grandmaster, is this what you call training? Making these geniuses run?"
Yu Xiaogang hadn't expected Shao Xin, this food system Spirit Saint, to appear here today, and he patiently explained, "They made serious mistakes in yesterday's training. This is their punishment, and also training!"
"Teacher Shao, it's fine. It's just twenty laps with a load. I've run before in the Sect. With some effort, I should still be able to complete it."
Ning Rongrong, seeing Xiao Tian's gesture, knew that the person in front of her was a key figure and immediately began to perform according to the original plan.
Shao Xin turned to look at the girl in the blue dress. If he remembered correctly, this should be the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School that Flender mentioned, right?
Making the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School run twenty laps here?
And with a load?
If Ning Fengzhi or the other two Titled Douluo found out, wouldn't they be crippled?
Shao Xin didn't know that Flender had the 'death-exemption token' given by Ning Fengzhi, and immediately cold sweat streamed down his back.
Now he finally knew who sent that note just now. It must be the person hiding around the academy responsible for protecting Ning Rongrong.
This was giving them a chance to save themselves!
Stop them, must stop them!
He had to do something!
Although he was a food system Spirit Saint and had some fame on the Continent, he was nothing in front of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. He didn't want to be blamed by them later.
That old fellow Flender really could do anything!
"Grandmaster, I think this is a bit inappropriate, isn't it? This little girl is a support system Spirit Master, right? It's already very difficult to run twenty laps without using spirit power, and you're making them carry a load?!"
Yu Xiaogang hadn't expected Shao Xin to be so meddlesome. He couldn't explain too much in front of everyone, so he could only say, "Teacher Shao Xin, weighted running can effectively improve the physical fitness of Ning Rongrong and Oscar! If they encounter danger in the future..."
Before Yu Xiaogang could finish speaking, Ning Rongrong's voice came from the side.
"Teacher Shao, Grandmaster is right. When I return to the Sect later, I will popularize this method throughout the Sect. So many direct disciples in our Sect need to strengthen their physique and life-saving abilities."
Shao Xin: ...
Yu Xiaogang: ...
Flender: ...
"Xiaogang, don't you think you're playing a bit too big?"
Flender was also a bit worried at this point. He finally understood why Ning Rongrong didn't make trouble just now.
How did she suddenly change from an explosive and unruly princess to this little devil?
"No!"
Shao Xin hurriedly spoke to stop them, then continued, "Little girl, this running is just a punishment from Grandmaster to you all, and it has nothing to do with saving your life. Look, if running could improve life-saving ability, then I would run every day. Would I still be this fat?"
Shao Xin patted his big belly without any shame.
His fatness was unavoidable; the candy beans in his Spirit contained too much sugar.
food system Spirit Masters need to keep making them to improve their spirit power. Wouldn't it be a waste not to eat what they make?
It's reasonable, right?
"That won't do. This is training arranged by the Continent's number one theoretical Grandmaster. It must have a reason, so we must try it!"
Ning Rongrong blinked playfully at Xiao Tian beside her, fully displaying her little devilish charm.
It was as if she was saying, 'How was my performance?'
Xiao Tian chuckled inwardly. This Ning Rongrong was simply acting out her true nature.
Yu Xiaogang's face also stiffened slightly, not knowing what to say. If this matter were to be spread back by Ning Rongrong and become known throughout the entire Sect, even if Flender had Ning Fengzhi's letter, it would be useless, right?
Yu Xiaogang thought, and couldn't help but glance resentfully at Shao Xin beside him. 'Why did you come here for no reason!'
Shao Xin was confused and directly questioned Yu Xiaogang: "Grandmaster, do you mean this run is absolutely necessary?"
Facing Shao Xin's questioning, Yu Xiaogang, out of respect for his teacher's reputation, bit the bullet and said, "Yes, they must run! Originally, they didn't have to run with a load; Zhao Wuji could have used his gravity Spirit Ability for training, but Zhao Wuji is busy these two days, so..."
Yu Xiaogang's mind spun, and he suddenly came up with this reason.
This was also a roundabout way of explaining to Xiao Tian and the others that it was all because Zhao Wuji wasn't around.
But how could Xiao Tian and the others let Yu Xiaogang off so easily? Even Tang San was somewhat silent.
It wasn't that he didn't want to speak up for Yu Xiaogang, but he was afraid that if he stopped Xiao Tian's plan now, Xiao Tian might come up with something even more excessive, or even directly drag him away and beat him up. Such things had happened before.
Shao Xin gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, since Grandmaster you think it's useful, then you'll run with them! Anyway, your spirit power hasn't broken through for so many years, which must be related to your lack of exercise. As a teacher, you should set an example!"
Yu Xiaogang's face suddenly changed when he heard Shao Xin's hurtful words, but before he could argue, Shao Xin said, "Grandmaster, there are no useless Spirits, only useless Spirit Masters! Look at Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong. Which one of them doesn't have a lower spirit power level than you? They can all persevere without complaints. You can't refuse, can you?"
Flender held his forehead, unable to watch. Xiaogang was really shooting himself in the foot.
Shao Xin was the only food system Spirit Saint in their academy. His prestige among the teachers even surpassed Zhao Wuji's; even he had to show him three points of respect.
Zhu Zhuqing said coldly, "Grandmaster, I came here to become stronger, but I hope your arrangements today are not random. If even you can't complete it, how can you demand that we, who are weaker than you, complete it?"
Ma Hongjun also said with a grin, "That's right, Grandmaster. But considering you're older than us, you don't have to carry a load. Just run with us, how about it? You're still one lap short!"
Ma Hongjun wasn't trying to stick up for Xiao Tian's plan, after all, he was the one whose bones Xiao Wu broke yesterday.
He said this simply because Yu Xiaogang had also annoyed him today, and he was unhappy!
Originally, these few of them were geniuses, so they naturally had some arrogance. How could they just do whatever Yu Xiaogang said?
It was the dean who was familiar with him, not them!
