“I’m so tired!”
After running nearly five hundred meters, Ning Rongrong, who was at the very back of the team, began complaining.
“What’s the point of this kind of training?”
Wu Ming, who was running at the very front, slowed his steps slightly, but did not look back.
In a voice full of energy, he answered, “As expected, a young miss is still a young miss.
No real merits.”
“You’re so annoying!”
Ning Rongrong bared her teeth and glared viciously at Wu Ming’s back.
She stopped complaining, merely holding in one breath as she followed closely behind Zhu Zhuqing, unwilling to fall behind.
As a young miss, she was not a well-behaved girl, but she was very susceptible to provocation.
After all, she was absolutely unwilling to admit defeat!
Just like this.
After everyone ran three laps around the entire village, most of them were panting heavily.
Even Tang San was drenched in sweat at this moment, his breathing slightly hurried.
In front of him, aside from Wu Ming, Oscar and Ma Hongjun’s breathing was also quite hurried, but both of them ran more steadily than he did.
“I must endure!”
Tang San clenched his teeth, doing his best to steady his steps, but the stone pillar about two meters tall in the wicker basket on his back kept swaying left and right, constantly affecting his balance.
This was true training!
If it were only weight-bearing training, one could directly choose to carry a stone pillar, or pile small stones into the wicker basket.
But training by placing a stone pillar into a wicker basket was not only for training load-bearing ability, but also to train the students’ balance.
After finishing the fourth lap, Wu Ming put down the wicker basket and said to the six people slowly walking over behind him one after another, “Very good!
All of you possess tenacious willpower!
Now we begin the second training item!”
“There’s a second item?”
With a thud, Ning Rongrong collapsed onto the ground, wanting to cry but having no tears.
She realized that she might have come to the wrong place.
“Get up quickly!
After intense exercise, you can’t just sit down like that.
It’s bad for the body!”
Wu Ming scolded, first pulling Tang San up, then pulling Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong up from the ground one by one.
“The second training item: eating!”
Under the four’s horrified gazes, Wu Ming smiled faintly and stated an “item” that made all of them relax.
Shrek Academy’s cafeteria was extremely simple.
It was merely a building occupying around two hundred square meters.
Teacher Shao Xin had already prepared breakfast.
The white porridge was thick and rich, the buns fragrant and soft, and the fried dough sticks golden and crispy.
Everyone ate ravenously.
Even Ning Rongrong could not be bothered with elegance.
Ning Rongrong looked at the big bowl so clean it could reflect her face, and her cheeks could not help reddening.
“This is my first time realizing it too.”
Zhu Zhuqing likewise had not expected that one day, she would drink porridge this clean.
“Smack, chew!”
At this moment, the sound of chewing while eating came again.
The four new students turned their gazes over and discovered that Wu Ming was actually still eating.
That entire pot of thick rice porridge had been finished by him, and he was still continuously stuffing buns, steamed buns, and fried dough sticks into his mouth, like a gluttonous beast.
Everyone stared in stunned silence, even feeling the food in their own stomachs digesting rapidly.
“Uncle, one more fried dough stick.”
“I want two buns.”
“A steamed bun, and another plate of little pickled vegetables.”
Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong unconsciously swallowed and asked Shao Xin.
“Sorry, there isn’t any breakfast left.” Shao Xin shook his head.
Looking at Wu Ming eating heartily, he also could not help swallowing.
This was Shrek Academy’s true treasure!
“Are all of you full?
I still have some here.
Want a little more?” Wu Ming handed a plate of soup dumplings over to Tang San and the others.
“Uh… thank you.”
Tang San accepted it blankly, staring at Wu Ming constantly swallowing food, yet with only a slightly bulging abdomen.
His eyelids twitched unconsciously.
He seemed to understand why Wu Ming was so powerful.
This digestive ability…
The nutrition he could absorb in one meal was more than ten times that of ordinary people.
Naturally, his physical constitution was extraordinary.
However, watching an old glutton eat did indeed stir Tang San’s appetite.
He unconsciously reached out to grab a soup dumpling from the plate, only to grab empty air.
It turned out the buns on the plate had already been taken away by Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing.
Tang San: “…”
Half an hour later, all the food before Wu Ming’s table had already been completely consumed.
Spirit Power surged, shaking out a circle of slight wind.
The residual waves caused the others’ hearts to tremble.
“Boss Wu, did you break through a rank?”
Oscar was the first to react.
“Mm, I’ve reached rank thirty-seven.”
Feeling the surging Spirit Power in his body, Wu Ming stretched lazily and instructed Oscar, “Same as usual.”
“Got it!”
Oscar immediately chanted the spirit incantation: “Sweet to your heart sweet mushroom sausage!”
Red light appeared in Oscar’s palm one after another, then red sausages appeared.
They were only as long as a little finger and shaped like king oyster mushrooms, and he distributed them into everyone’s hands.
“Eat it.
There are unexpected benefits.”
After saying this, Wu Ming was the first to toss this king oyster mushroom-shaped sausage into his mouth.
Without chewing, he swallowed it directly.
“A reminder, by the way: it’s best to swallow it directly and not bite through it.
Otherwise, the sweetness will be so cloying it makes you nauseous.”
“This is my first time seeing a sweet sausage.” Ning Rongrong refused to believe it and took a bite.
Her entire body instantly froze on the spot.
Immediately afterward, her delicate features twisted into a lump in an instant.
Then with a “pah,” she spat out the sausage, threw away the remaining half in her hand, and shouted in panic, “Water!
Where’s the water?
I need water!
It’s too sweet!
I’ll never eat candy again!”
Under Shao Xin’s guidance, Ning Rongrong saw the water jar.
Ignoring her image, she plunged her entire head into it, making bubbling sounds.
“Is it really that exaggerated?”
The corner of Oscar’s mouth twitched, and his full beard trembled along with it.
“If you don’t listen to Senior’s words, you suffer right before your eyes.” Wu Ming revealed a trace of a smile and said to Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing, “Eat this Sweet Mushroom Sausage.
Carefully feel its benefits.”
With Ning Rongrong’s lesson before them, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing naturally did not dare chew it.
They directly swallowed the Sweet Mushroom Sausage into their stomachs.
Immediately.
A warm current rose from their six hollow organs, entered their five viscera, and spread throughout their bodies.
The fatigue on them was swept away.
The blisters and wounds rubbed raw from the earlier training, as well as most of their consumed Spirit Power, were all recovering at an extremely rapid speed.
Even their minds were much clearer than usual.
Tang San in particular was shocked to discover that this power was slowly nourishing his meridians!
“Weight-bearing training can cause hidden injuries in the body that are hard to detect, but Oscar’s second Spirit Ability, Sweet to Your Heart Sweet Mushroom Sausage, can recover Spirit Power, heal wounds, and even gently nourish every cell in our bodies.”
Wu Ming introduced Oscar’s second Spirit Ability to the four newcomers.
“In theory, aside from dying of old age or illness, no matter how heavy the injury, as long as there is still one breath left, Oscar’s second Spirit Ability can save the person.”
“A divine ability!”
Tang San cried out in surprise.
“Keep it low-key!
Don’t worship this bro.
This bro is merely a legend!”
Though he said this, Oscar put both hands on his hips, the corner of his mouth rising.
He was already prepared to receive the worship of his junior schoolbrothers and school sisters.
