Chapter 42: The Academy's First Intensive Training

  Scorching sun, proud sun like fire.

  Under this scorching sun, you have to stand for a whole day without falling down or moving at all. If anyone violates this rule, they will be persuaded to quit, no exceptions.

  On the huge martial arts arena, hot air was steaming up, wave after wave of heat hitting people's faces, sweat like pearls dropping down one string after another.

  The scorching sun was like a huge fire burning directly above people's heads, their hair was scorched as if it was going to die, and everyone was panting heavily.

  The high place of the martial arts arena was where Ruan Yuanshan stood tall, holding in his hand the most familiar symbol of authority of the Dugu Academy.

  It's familiar because I'm afraid of this supreme staff in my heart, it has the power of supremacy, its name is - Huoyun Staff.

  According to legend, the prosperous Zhu Rong City wanted to annex Dugu State, and at that time, even immortals appeared in Zhu Rong City.

  Although this is the case, a huge Zhu Rong City has not taken down a small Duchy of Dugu for thirty years, and it is under the situation that there is an immortal sitting in town. This is also quite tragic, making Zhu Rong City very embarrassing. However, the Duchy of Dugu also paid a heavy price for this. A small Duchy of Dugu mobilized the whole country to fight, which also caused huge losses to the financial and human resources of the Duchy of Dugu.

  Everywhere is a scene of desolation and death, the people are on the verge of extinction. But how can those in power understand the suffering of the common folk?

  At that moment, the sceptre that had been carried by every generation of Dugu Kingdom's kings suddenly moved on its own and rushed into the camp of Zhurong City. Without saying a word, it charged straight into the tent of that immortal. A stream of blood splattered onto the tent, and the immortal fell.

  The immortal of Zhu Rong City has died. It seems that it suddenly lost its mainstay, and under the strong counterattack of Dugu Gong Guo, Zhu Rong City finally retreated back to its defensive line.

  Since then, Huoyun Staff never showed up again, quietly accompanying every generation of kings, and later became the staff of Dugu Magic Academy.

  With this baton, even the deputy director can be impeached. So, using this baton to suppress these children with a background is the best.

  Time passed, and the sun was now directly overhead. Everyone's eyes were blurry, their legs felt weak, their mouths were dry, and they were listless.

  But no one dared to fall down, they knew that once fallen, it would be impossible to get up again, and a lifetime of happiness would be lost.

  However, there were still many people standing there very easily, with a smile on their faces, and from time to time they would look around at the crowd, looking up at the scorching sun in the sky. This made Ruan Yuanshan stare straight at him.

  It can be seen that if someone can stand like this without any feeling, then they are either a demonic martial artist or a born warrior.

  Those who stood there were mostly magicians, and magicians had weak bodies, so they couldn't engage in physical confrontation with warriors at all.

  The day has passed noon and is already getting dark, the sun has gradually moved westward, and the earth has become unbearably hot.

  In no time, many people fell to the ground. It wasn't that they lacked willpower, but rather the unbearable heat caused them breathing difficulties, and eventually they couldn't hold on until the end.

  Those who fell, cried. They finally made it in with great difficulty, but still couldn't withstand the final test. There's no way around it, life is just that cruel. Only one's own strong abilities can withstand the wear and tear of society and people.

  In the distant crowd, Zǐ Wēi and their group stood there for a long time, without even breaking a sweat.

  This reminded Ziwei of her past life, during military training in college.

  At first, I was not in good physical shape. Since I loved music, I didn't have time to exercise, so on the first day of military training, I fell asleep after 20 minutes.

  But now I stand here for half a day, just like when I first stood here, without any feeling at all. Watching others sweat as if water is flowing from them, while I remain cool and comfortable.

  As time went by, one after another fell down. Zhu Yongfeng, who was not far from Ziwei, also began to weaken and might collapse at any moment.

  After all, they didn't undergo the same rigorous training as Ziwei when they were young, and the hardships that Ziwei endured in her childhood are unimaginable to ordinary people.

  Her fingers flicked lightly, and several invisible forces flew out, each rushing towards those people. Ziwei knew that the bodies of those people were very weak, and this spiritual stimulation technique was something she had just learned. For these sudden events, she could only learn as she went along.

  Ziwei did not release the spiritual stimulation to Yao Jianzhuang, he saw that Yao Jianzhuang's robust body was absolutely a good seed for a warrior.

  The sun sets quickly, and all I see are rows of people falling down.

  Ziwei and their dormitory 121 didn't have a single person fall, but in 111, two people fell. There was no way, they still couldn't withstand the pressure. Even when Ziwei used her spiritual stimulation technique, it was useless.

  Those roommates sighed and reluctantly parted with them.

  Zi Wei said: You all go out and mix well, it's not necessarily possible to stand out here, and going out isn't all about being useless either. You are my younger brothers, I don't want my younger brothers to be useless, I want you to succeed outside too, do you know that?

  This was almost shouted out by Zi Wei, although they hadn't known each other for long, but they were all sincere. When a man is sincere in making friends with someone, that's when they become sworn brothers for life and death.

  Those two people shouted with red eyes: Boss, we will definitely not let you down. Even if we are not in the college, we will still manage to make a good show and not lose your face.

  Tono, Sun Wei, Yelü Fuchu... they all left with tears in their eyes. After all, it's a farewell between friends who laughed and played together, how could they not shed tears?

  A man has tears but does not easily shed them, it's just that he hasn't reached the point of heartbreak yet.

  The person who was eliminated in the distance heard Ziwei's words, and his spirit shook. The originally confused eyes instantly had a bright light. He cast a grateful glance at Ziwei, then disappeared into the endless crowd.

  They have survived the first major test, indicating that they will no longer leave this college. And in the next few days, it will be a test of various psychological and physical qualities of various students.

  On the high platform, Ruan Yuanshan lightly shouted "Silence".

  At this moment, the entire martial arts arena fell silent, with only breathing sounds audible.

  One day has passed, you all survived, you are the dragon and phoenix among people, the elite among people. But as some of you leave, there is also talent, I hope you will shine brightly on your future path in life.

  It's getting late, go back and rest early, there's still tomorrow, although it won't be as tough as today, but it won't be easy either.

  The sun sets in the west, and on the huge martial arts arena, only a few old men are left chatting leisurely.

  Yu Feng said: "Far Mountain, my disciple is quite good."

  "Uh, your apprentice is indeed rare. After a whole day, not only did he not look tired, but he also looked more spirited. What's even more precious is that at the critical moment, your apprentice somehow managed to use some move that suddenly filled his several originally dispirited roommates with overflowing energy."

  What I originally wanted to say, later on, I thought about it and decided not to after all. After all, can't...

  Yu Feng burst out laughing and said: I know you're the best old fellow, come on, I'll treat you to a drink.

  In a flash of light, the two disappeared from the martial arts arena.

  In the void, someone has been staring here all along...
