However, their physical condition was far inferior to Ye Chen's, and even after consuming just a tiny bit of the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue, the side effects began to appear.

Ye Chen could see that Wu Feng and Ning Tian were glancing at him from time to time, their eyes radiating an inexplicable heat.

And as these two ran, they would occasionally squeeze their legs together...

"I still have some left, do you want more?"

Ye Chen looked at the two of them and asked.

"No, no, no, I don't want it anymore..."

"Next time, next time..."

Wu Feng and Ning Tian shook their heads repeatedly.

Their faces all had an unnatural flush, partly because they had run dozens of kilometers and their blood was rushing to their heads, and partly because of the side effects of the whale gel.

Fortunately, they didn't eat much, otherwise they would have needed to go to the toilet.

"Ok."

Ye Chen nodded and began to eat by himself.

Ning Tian and Wu Feng both looked at Ye Chen with some surprise.

"Ye Chen, don't you... sense anything is wrong?" Ning Tian hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking.

"No, I just feel warm all over, it's alright."

Ye Chen said casually.

As long as he eats only a little each time, given his constitution, the side effects will be minimal; at most, it will just be a "microblog post," with little impact.

"Ye Chen, are you sure something's not wrong???"

Wu Feng's voice grew louder.

Both she and Ning Tian looked down at Ye Chen...

It seems there is indeed no response.

"Ye Chen couldn't be..."

Wu Feng and Ning Tian slowed their pace and retreated behind Ye Chen. The two huddled together, looked at each other, and felt an indescribable fear in their hearts!

Since both of them knew about the side effects of whale glue, and Ye Chen showed absolutely no reaction, could it be that he…

"No way, Ye Chen is so handsome, he couldn't possibly do that..." Wu Feng's face fell, clearly unwilling to believe it.

"Yeah, I also think it's impossible... Maybe Ye Chen has developed a resistance to whale gelatin from eating too much of it..."

Ning Tian spoke as if he were comforting himself, but he still harbored doubts in his heart.

"How about we test the waters?"

Wu Feng had a good idea.

"Then how do we test the waters?"

Ning Tian asked curiously.

"Like this, like this..."

Wu Feng leaned close to Ning Tian's ear and whispered something as they ran.

"Hmm... wouldn't this be a bit inappropriate..." Ning Tian blushed slightly, feeling that Wu Feng's idea was a bit too much...

"What's the big deal? If you won't do it, then let me do it," Wu Feng said dismissively, clearly unconcerned.

"Hmph, let me do it. You're just a theoretical master; you'll definitely embarrass yourself in actual combat." Ning Tian snorted, naturally unwilling to give this opportunity to Wu Feng.

Ye Chen, of course, was unaware of Ning Tian and Wu Feng's thoughts and continued running on his own.

Just then, Ye Chen saw another class that seemed to have finished their other classes and come to the playground.

As luck would have it, that class was Zhou Yi's class.

At this moment, the students in Zhou Yi's class seemed to have just finished practical training, and they all looked somewhat tired.

But Zhou Yi wouldn't let them get away with it.

"Look at you all! You've become like this after just one match. How are you going to compete with others in the freshman competition?!" "Everyone, run 50 laps within one hour! If you don't finish, you're out!"

Zhou Yi rebuked him sternly.

"Teacher...we've used up a lot of our soul power. Aren't 50 laps too much? Why don't we take a break first?" one student suggested weakly, unable to bear it any longer.

They're made of flesh and blood, not steel. Every day is hellish, devilish training. Even if their bodies can handle it, their minds can't.

He's at the peak of level 19, and he'll definitely reach level 20 in the freshman assessment. Passing the freshman assessment will be a piece of cake for him, so he doesn't need this kind of training.

Moreover, he has good talent and a good family background, and he has resources whenever he wants. When has he ever suffered like this?

"Huh? What did you say?!"

When Zhou Yi saw that someone dared to contradict her, she frowned and her eagle-like gaze instantly locked onto the student who had spoken.

That was a student whose soul power cultivation level was as high as 19, which was quite good.

But in her eyes, no matter how talented a student is, a disobedient student should be kicked out of her class.

She demands absolute obedience; only by training according to her rules can one truly grow!

The student felt a little uneasy under Zhou Yi's gaze, but having already spoken, he wasn't intimidated. He straightened his neck and looked directly at Zhou Yi, saying, "Teacher Zhou Yi, high-intensity training can damage our bodies. I suggest we rest for five minutes before continuing physical training!"

Some of the students around nodded slightly in agreement, but most remained silent, as Zhou Yi's authority was deeply etched in everyone's hearts.

Just like a first-grade homeroom teacher suppressing a child's bloodline, even the most mischievous child wouldn't dare to resist in the slightest in front of certain homeroom teachers.

This is the image that Zhou Yi has in the minds of most trainees.

"Very well, since that's the case, you can go back and rest now," Zhou Yi said coldly.

"real!"

The student was overjoyed and breathed a huge sigh of relief.

It seems that Teacher Zhou Yi is quite reasonable.

"Yes, you're fired. You don't need to come back anymore. You can rest for as long as you want," Zhou Yi said coldly.

Since so many have already been dismissed, dismissing a few more won't affect the promotion rate.

"what??"

The student looked completely bewildered, but Zhou Yi ignored him and instead directed the other students to start running exercises.

Once again, everyone witnessed Zhou Yi's resolute ruthlessness, and no one dared to say another word. Even though it was tough and tiring, they gritted their teeth and started running.

……

"That old woman is really ruthless..." Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao muttered to themselves after running a distance.

His cultivation level was high, which didn't really matter, but Zhou Yi just felt too domineering.

"Alright, stop talking. It wouldn't be good if Teacher Zhou Yi heard us," Huo Yuhao said, panting.

Although his soul power level has improved considerably, he is still at the bottom of the class.

Fortunately, he has the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and with his strong willpower, he has gotten used to this kind of training. Before, he used to do 100 laps in an hour, but now he can do 50 laps by running slowly.

"Hey, that boy is running really fast..."

Suddenly, Wang Dong seemed to have noticed something and looked at Ye Chen curiously.

Because Ye Chen was so fast, while most students were running slowly, Ye Chen was running twice as fast as everyone else.

Even Ning Tian and Wu Feng were left far behind by Ye Chen.

"Whoosh-"

Wang Dong, who was never one to admit defeat, suddenly accelerated and caught up with the other.

"Hey, Wang Dong, slow down. Running too fast takes a lot of energy..." Huo Yuhao wanted to call out to Wang Dong, but he didn't dare to chase after him because this speed was his limit.

Any faster and I really won't be able to breathe.

Wang Dong ignored Huo Yuhao completely and quickly caught up with Ye Chen...
