Xiao Tian couldn't help but laugh, "I didn't expect someone as quiet as you appear to be on the surface to be so skilled at playing pranks. It seems Rongrong, you must have given your father and those two grandfathers quite a lot to worry about in the Sect. Honestly, were you very mischievous when you were in the Sect?"
Ning Rongrong giggled, "Not really, I was actually very well-behaved in the Sect, it's just that my father and grandfathers doted on me more."
After three laps, Ning Rongrong was already panting, and her long dress was soaked with sweat.
"How about it, Ning Rongrong, should I help you with some of the burden?"
Oscar stepped forward and offered.
Ning Rongrong said indifferently, "No need, and Grandmaster is still here, how can we let others help! We should each complete our own burdens. Besides, you're not doing much better than me yourself, are you, to still be helping me?"
From Ning Rongrong's words, anyone with a discerning ear could tell they were full of resentment.
Yu Xiaogang also hadn't expected Ning Rongrong to not accept Oscar's help, and even say such a thing?
He had originally intended to use this opportunity to have Tang San help him with some of the burden.
He was indeed getting old, and his physical condition couldn't keep up; he was also somewhat out of breath.
Ma Hongjun then said, "How about we do this: follow behind Grandmaster, with Ning Rongrong second, and run at their pace. That should allow us to last longer."
Yu Xiaogang: Felt offended.
Before he could say anything, Xiao Tian and the others consciously fell back, letting Yu Xiaogang run in front.
Xiao Tian chuckled to himself. This Fatty was quite devious. Actually, if he, Dai Mubai, or Tang San ran in front at a slower pace, and the others followed behind, it would effectively conserve energy.
When running, the wind, to varying degrees, accelerates the consumption of physical strength, and for those running in front, the consumption of physical strength is naturally the greatest!
"Rongrong, just follow slowly behind Grandmaster, three steps one exhale, three steps one inhale, try to keep your breathing as even as possible, hold on!"
Xiao Tian whispered to Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong's own fighting Spirit was also aroused, "Don't worry, I refuse to believe I can't even beat him. I've also trained in the Sect!"
Xiao Tian looked at Ning Rongrong, who was now like she had taken a stimulant, and shook his head. This fighting Spirit was only temporary; it remained to be seen how long she could last.
He wanted to see how long Yu Xiaogang could last without letting others help him carry those stones!
Another three laps passed. Yu Xiaogang's face gradually turned pale, his lips were completely white and becoming chapped. Even though they replenished salt water after every lap, it couldn't keep up with his own consumption.
"Grandmaster, if you can't hold on, why don't you let Tang San help you? After all, you're so old, it's understandable if you can't complete this training! It's just that I didn't expect, Grandmaster, that your Spirit, after all, has the true dragon bloodline. Look at Fatty, his spirit power is lower than yours, but at least his complexion is still normal."
Ma Hongjun was about to faint from the heat, but when Xiao Tian mentioned him, he instantly regained his Spirits and forced a smile, saying, "Yes, Grandmaster, if you can't do it, just say so. At worst, this training will be canceled today. You just said you wanted to set an example. If you can't even keep going, then there's no need for the rest of us to keep running, is there? With this time, why don't we properly cultivate our spirit power and Spirit Ability?"
Ma Hongjun was eager for Yu Xiaogang to say no more training; this kind of training was torture for him, a Fatty!
Yu Xiaogang, who was about to faint, suddenly had a burst of energy and stubbornly said, "Who said I can't keep going! It's only just begun!"
With that, Yu Xiaogang forcibly sped up and rushed out!
"Rongrong, are you alright?" Xiao Tian asked Ning Rongrong, whose condition also seemed off.
"I'm still okay, just a little out of breath, I can hold on!"
Just as Ning Rongrong was about to speed up a bit, her foot suddenly stepped on a small stone.
"Ah!"
Ning Rongrong's left ankle twisted, and she was about to fall to the ground.
She thought she was about to hit the ground face-first and closed her eyes tightly, but instead, she fell into a warm embrace.
"Are you okay? Don't push yourself, just run slowly. There's still plenty of time anyway, and Grandmaster will probably give up soon."
Xiao Tian's tone was full of tenderness.
Feeling Xiao Tian's warm embrace, Ning Rongrong's little heart also began to beat uncontrollably faster.
When Xiao Wu saw this scene, her small mouth slightly pouted, and her heart clenched.
Xiao Wu was suddenly confused. What was wrong with her?
Watching Xiao Tian and Ning Rongrong get so close, why did she feel a strange sense of loss?
Was she jealous?
It shouldn't be, Xiao Tian was her brother!
Another lap and a half passed.
Thud!
Yu Xiaogang only felt a blur in front of his eyes, only able to vaguely see the academy gate. He felt completely numb all over.
So tired, so sleepy, so thirsty, so dry...
He couldn't muster any energy.
"Grandmaster, we're almost at the academy gate~"
Xiao Tian knew at a glance that Yu Xiaogang couldn't hold on anymore!
Yu Xiaogang was already experiencing tinnitus and heard Xiao Tian's words as them being almost finished running.
He was even a bit unclear, no longer remembering how many laps they had run.
Thump!
"Teacher!"
Tang San watched as Yu Xiaogang fell straight down about five meters from the academy gate, directly losing consciousness.
Tang San quickly flipped Yu Xiaogang over; his face was as pale as gold paper, completely unrecognizable.
"Xiaogang!"
Flender flashed and appeared in front of everyone.
Shao Xin looked at the unconscious Yu Xiaogang, frowned, and activated his first Spirit Ability. A pink candy bean appeared in his hand.
Walking closer, he said angrily, "See? He's a powerful attack system Spirit Master, yet he couldn't even last ten laps. He's not even as good as the two girls in the team!"
Shao Xin forcibly pried open Yu Xiaogang's mouth, stuffed in the candy bean, poured in water, closed his mouth, and then shook his head by placing both hands on his head and chin.
The candy bean successfully went down.
Yu Xiaogang's complexion also recovered at an extremely fast rate.
Flender's mouth twitched when he saw Shao Xin being so rough, "Shao Xin, can't you be a bit gentler?"
Shao Xin said, "How much gentler? He's a grown man! Didn't you see he passed out? How else will the candy bean go down without force? It's a good thing I had a premonition and stayed behind, otherwise, he'd only be able to eat Oscar's big Sausage. How would such a big Sausage be shoved in?"
Oscar:
"Ahem, alright, alright, I'll take Xiaogang to rest. Today's training ends here. You all get some good rest for the remaining time!"
Flender lifted Yu Xiaogang's body and disappeared into the distance; it was truly too embarrassing!
