At the entrance, there were eight wicker baskets. The baskets were labeled with their respective names.
And each wicker basket contained several melon-sized rocks.
Just by looking, they weighed at least dozens of kilograms.
"No way. Are we supposed to carry this much weight and run for two or three hours?"
Looking at the exaggerated number of rocks in his basket, Lin Meng couldn't help but groan.
"Everyone, look. The weight of each basket is different. It should be the weight matched according to our Soul Power level and physical fitness." The sharp-eyed Huo Yu noticed the difference.
Everyone walked to the wooden frame with their names on it and found specific numbers written on it.
"My wicker basket says forty kilograms," Huo Wu said.
"Mine is fifty kilograms," Huo Wu Shuang said.
Besides that, Lin Meng, forty kilograms, Huo Yun, Huo Yu, thirty-five kilograms. Ling Yun, Wang Xing, thirty kilograms.
The weight of the wicker baskets was not light, but it was still a manageable weight for them to carry.
But when they saw Quanyi's wicker basket, they were all taken aback.
"Quanyi, yours is too exaggerated. The rocks are about to burst the wooden frame."
Lin Meng found that the volume of rocks loaded inside Quanyi's wooden frame was larger than anyone else's.
He stepped forward and found that it said one hundred kilograms.
Lin Meng tried to lift it with force, but it was not easy just to lift it. Not to mention carrying it and running for two or three hours.
"Quanyi, are you sure you want to be punished? You don't really have to care." Lin Meng advised.
One hundred kilograms was like carrying a strong adult muscular man and running for two or three hours, which was not easy even for a Soul Elder.
"Don't worry. Let's go back quickly. The Dean is still waiting for us."
Quanyi easily carried the wicker basket on his back, his expression as usual, as if he was carrying a light schoolbag, without any sign of effort.
"Don't underestimate Quanyi. This little weight is just an appetizer for him." Saying that, Huo Wu also followed Quanyi and carried her own wicker basket.
Carrying the rocks, Huo Wu also looked very relaxed.
Forty kilograms was the weight second only to Quanyi and Huo Wu Shuang, the same as Lin Meng.
But Huo Wu could be so relaxed because of her Soul Power as high as level twenty-seven and her physical fitness that was not inferior to a Beast Soul Master.
Quanyi carried the wicker basket and walked to Huo Yun, and took out a rock of about ten kilograms from his wicker basket and put it into his own wicker basket.
"Your body is injured. I'll help you bear some of it. But, don't worry, this little weight is no pressure for me."
Quanyi didn't even give Huo Yun a chance to refuse, and urged: "Let's go quickly. The Dean is still waiting for us."
Everyone carried their own wicker baskets and followed Quanyi.
"Run around the Martial Arts Practice Field in circles. I only have one requirement, which is that you can't stop. Now, start."
With Gao Jie's order, everyone began to run around the Martial Arts Practice Field.
However, everyone's speed was not very fast, but completely according to their own rhythm, running forward at a constant speed.
Everyone knew that the most important thing in this 'physical punishment' was persistence, not the pursuit of speed.
However, even with a steady jog, under the heavy load and the accumulation of fatigue over a long period of time, the breathing became more and more rapid, and the steps became heavier and heavier.
An hour passed.
The distance between everyone also gradually widened with the difference in their physical fitness.
Quanyi led the way, Huo Wu Shuang was second, and Huo Wu was third.
Lin Meng, Huo Yun and Huo Yu were tied for fourth.
Ling Yun and Wang Xing were last, but the gap was not very big.
Gao Jie was also on the side, observing everyone's performance.
Most of it was within his expectations.
But Quanyi brought a shock to him.
"Where did this monster come from?"
Carrying a hundred kilograms of weight, he still moved swiftly, maintaining a steady, smooth breathing rhythm, looking so relaxed and content.
For Quanyi, who had been carrying over a thousand kilograms of weighted armor for a long time, a mere hundred kilograms was as light as a feather to him.
Another two hours passed, and the sun began to gradually set.
Everyone was sweating profusely and panting like cows.
The weight designed by the Academy was by no means easy.
But perhaps feeling the presence of teammates on the track, they constantly motivated themselves to persevere.
Because of each other's existence, the painful 'punishment' became bearable.
"Stop."
Gao Jie shouted.
Ling Yun and Wang Xing, who were mentally dazed, didn't hear Gao Jie's voice. It was the leading Huo Yun and Huo Yu brothers who stopped them.
"E-e-ended, ended, it's over. No need to run anymore."
Rapid breathing made the twin brothers' words intermittent.
Ling Yun and Wang Xing didn't notice and fell forward directly.
In the process, they also knocked Huo Yun and Huo Yu to the ground.
Huo Yun, who had wounds on his body, grimaced in pain and almost fainted.
In just two or three hours.
They truly felt what the limit was.
Lin Meng, who had slightly better physical fitness, was also almost exhausted and sat directly on the ground.
In the end, only Quanyi, Huo Wu, and Huo Wu Shuang could still stand on the platform.
"It's dinner time, you can go back to rest. Remember to put the wooden frame at the entrance when you go back." Gao Jie clapped his hands and then left.
Everyone took a long time to recover before slowly standing up.
"So tired, could it be that this kind of punishment will be carried out every day?" Lin Meng asked with a pale face.
"Get up and stretch a bit, and then go have a good meal. Otherwise, you will definitely suffer tomorrow."
Everyone was unwilling, but Quanyi still urged them and made them reluctantly stretch and relax their muscles.
Quanyi had a premonition that tomorrow might be the same as today because Gao Jie did not take the Wicker Basket back.
After stretching, Quanyi said goodbye to his teammates with Huo Wu and returned to the Wooden Cabin.
Back at the accommodation, Quanyi put on his Iron Essence weighted suit.
With Huo Wu, he found an open space by the lake and began their evening exercise.
If this scene were seen by the newly acquainted teammates today, they would definitely be shocked.
The exercise they thought was the limit was just an appetizer before the main course for Quanyi.
Surpassing the limit was already commonplace for Quanyi.
After the evening exercise, Quanyi returned to the Wooden Cabin and started a fire to cook.
Quanyi was amazingly talented in terms of fire control and knife skills, so Quanyi's cooking skills were also growing day by day. As time went by, Huo Wu became more and more attached to the meals he made.
Their accommodation was far from the Dining Hall, so they decided to cook their own meals in the Wooden Cabin.
After eating a hearty dinner, Quanyi returned to the Dormitory and began writing down today's gains.
It included the names of all the team members, Martial Souls, Soul Skill effects, and so on.
Moreover, Quanyi focused on recording the relevant information of the Mars Martial Soul in his manual.
