The next morning, the sun shone brightly, bringing a warm and refreshing atmosphere. All things revived in the bright sunlight, and a new day began.
Shrek Academy.
Yu Xiaogang stood in the center of the playground, hands behind his back, looking at the students lined up before him. He was the only teacher present today, as Flander had said. All the academy teachers would be cooperating with the Grandmaster from today onwards. Yu
Xiaogang's cold gaze swept over the students. "Tomorrow at breakfast time, I hope to see you all in the cafeteria earlier than usual. Food needs time to digest. You can't engage in strenuous exercise immediately. I will prepare breakfast at dawn. If you haven't come to eat within half an hour, then you don't need to eat."
Yu Xiaogang's imposing gaze swept over the students. He could tell, of course, that some hadn't listened. But he didn't emphasize it again.
"I already know your respective martial souls and abilities. From today onwards, I will begin intensive training for you. Dai Mubai, step forward."
The first time, no one answered.
"Dai Mubai, step forward."
The second call went unanswered.
Yu Xiaogang's face darkened; he hadn't expected someone to stand him up on the very first day of class. The master's gaze swept coldly over everyone.
"Where's Dai Mubai? Did he come?"
Ma Hongjun, standing at the very edge, shakily stepped forward, raising his right hand and saying, "Reporting, Boss Dai isn't feeling well and can't come today."
Yu Xiaogang's expression stiffened, and he said sharply, "Not feeling well at any time, of all times, but now of all times? I think he's trying to skip class!"
Ma Hongjun was seething with rage, giving Yu Xiaogang a disdainful look. Did he expect Yu Xiaogang to tell him that Dai Mubai had spent the night with him in a brothel and overexerted himself, unable to even stand up now? If that were true, not only would he feel guilty, but even after Dai Mubai recovered, he wouldn't let him off the hook.
Ma Hongjun said, "Report, Boss Dai is really not feeling well."
Just then, Oscar stepped forward, "Report, I can testify that when Boss Dai came back this morning, he was pale, his legs were trembling, and he could barely stand. He even asked me for two recovery sausages!"
As soon as he said this, Oscar regretted it. Coming back from outside, and in such a weak state, even a fool could guess what was going on.
Sure enough, what Ma Hongjun had only known about Dai Mubai going to the brothel was now known to almost everyone.
Everyone started whispering and discussing. Ning Rongrong even cursed Dai Mubai as a "wicked, lecherous tiger" in front of Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran.
Ma Hongjun silently mourned for Dai Mubai and Oscar. The former's reputation was ruined, but thinking about it, Dai Mubai didn't have a good reputation anyway, so it didn't matter. The latter was in trouble; once Dai Mubai recovered, he probably wouldn't let Oscar off the hook.
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's lips twitched, feeling like his head was twice its size. He also knew about the individual situations of the seven Shrek Academy students. It was one thing for Ma Hongjun to go to the brothel because of his martial soul problem, but Dai Mubai was wasting his talent.
Yu Xiaogang said, "Alright, alright, you'll run twenty laps around the village today. No food until you finish. I'll go check on Dai Mubai first."
"Ah!" Ning Rongrong and Meng Yiran looked distressed. Ning Rongrong had learned this the hard way, while Meng Yiran simply felt the training was too much.
Tang San held Meng Yiran's hand and smiled, "Yiran, it's okay. If you can't keep going, I'll carry you."
"Okay." Meng Yiran nodded, feeling warm inside, and thought the twenty laps wouldn't be so bad.
Five laps.
Ten laps.
Twenty laps.
After running twenty laps, everyone was panting heavily, and Ning Rongrong was almost exhausted. Even Tang San wasn't doing well; although twenty laps was within his capacity, he had carried Meng Yiran for several laps. He was nearly collapsed from exhaustion. Only Zhu Zhuqing seemed completely unaffected.
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at everyone and murmured softly, "Is this the real soul power control technique?"
For the entire twenty laps, she had almost entirely run with soul power attached to her feet. This not only made her much faster but also consumed less soul power, saving a lot of effort. If she hadn't wanted to train her physique and conserve soul power, she could have run even faster.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing seemingly unaffected, Ning Rongrong exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! Zhuqing, your physique is amazing! You run so fast, and it seems you still have energy left over."
"Yes, is that so!" Zhu Zhuqing replied somewhat awkwardly. Oh well, it was her man who taught her anyway.
Not far away, Tang San, supporting Meng Yiran, glanced at Zhu Zhuqing but said nothing, lost in thought.
"It seems you all completed the mission excellently! Very good. Especially Zhu Zhuqing, your physical condition is quite good. It seems I need to adjust your training content in the future." Yu Xiaogang walked out of the house. With his hands behind his back, he looked at the students lined up by age and spoke loudly.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, saying nothing more.
Tang San asked, "Teacher, what other lessons do we have next?"
Yu Xiaogang shook his head. He had already planned today's lesson: teamwork training. Now, without Dai Mubai, there was no point in continuing the training.
Thinking of Dai Mubai gave Yu Xiaogang a headache; he hadn't expected the boy to be so indulgent. Only after being interrogated by him, Flander, and Zhao Wuji did he learn that Dai Mubai had gone to a brothel with Ma Hongjun last night and had been exercising all night, even having more than ten erections. His lower body was now dark and congested; if he didn't receive timely treatment, his manhood would be completely ruined.
"I have some business with Dean Flander today, so you can all train as you see fit! Xiao San, come with me for a moment."
In Yu Xiaogang's memory, his disciple Tang San had some knowledge of poisons. According to the information provided by Flander, Dai Mubai shouldn't be someone who overindulged in sex. So he wanted Tang San to help him check, as he suspected Dai Mubai had been drugged.
Tang San replied, "Understood, Master."
Yu Xiaogang led Tang San to Dai Mubai's dormitory, where Flander and Zhao Wuji were already guarding the bedside.
Dai Mubai was pale, his clothes soaked with sweat, as if he had been drained dry. He was clutching his groin with both hands, veins bulging on his forehead, his expression extremely ferocious, clearly in great pain.
When Flander saw Tang San coming, he hurriedly called out, "Xiao San, come quickly, come quickly, is Mubai poisoned?"
Tang San nodded and said seriously, "Please take Mubai's pants off so I can see."
