High Martial Arts: First day of dropping out of school, reward: Devouring the Emperor's Body

At this moment, Li Mo never imagined that Cao Yun, the homeroom teacher who had been so arrogant towards him not long ago, would now be reduced to the point of having to kowtow.

He was still immersed in cultivating the Starry Sky Map. This Vajra Sky Patrol Scripture was truly a powerful cultivation method, and he could feel his physical body being continuously strengthened.

Just then, Li Mo suddenly heard a voice.

"Li Mo, we have to go! We're going to be late!"

These words, spoken by the burly Xu Feng, immediately jolted Li Mo awake.

When practicing mental cultivation techniques, one is generally unaware of external circumstances. Li Mo glanced at the time and realized it was almost eight o'clock.

It should be noted that 8:00 AM is the designated time for new recruit training in the military.

Being late on the first day of training is no small matter.

Li Mo quickly dressed, but despite his haste, he was still late.

By the time the three entered, all the new recruits on the training ground had already assembled.

Zhang Ruxue on the stage had a gloomy face and stared intently at Li Mo and the other two. Her imposing presence, though not angry, sent chills down people's spines.

Li Mo never shirks his responsibilities.

He immediately said to Zhang Ruxue, "Lieutenant Zhang, it's my responsibility. I wasted time studying the Starry Sky Diagram, and I accept the punishment."

Fortunately, both Zheng Jiahao and Xu Feng are loyal and righteous.

"No way! Li Mo, Zheng Jiahao and I were also delayed because of dinner. If anyone should be punished, we should be punished together."

"I have no objection, we'll be fined together."

Zhang Ruxue said in a deep voice, "You three are quite the brotherly couple! I just praised you yesterday, and today you pull this stunt on me!"

"I told you, the army has its own rules! It's completely different from the martial arts academy you all attended! If you make a mistake, you have to admit it! You new recruits, listen up! From now on, anyone who makes a mistake will suffer the same fate as those three!"

In fact, if the three were only late for training, Zhang Ruxue would not have punished them severely.

After all, the three of them were among the best of the new recruits.

However, there was no way around it. Today was the first day of intensive training, and with so many new recruits in front of them, Zhang Ruxue would definitely not let the three of them off easily.

Zhang Ruxue then announced the punishments for the three individuals.

First, you cannot eat for a whole day.

It is important to know that martial artists need to cultivate and consume a lot of energy every day in order to strengthen their bodies. Therefore, martial artists usually eat more than three times the amount of an ordinary person.

For a martial artist of Li Mo's age, not eating for a day is simply torture.

Not only did they skip meals, but Zhang Ruxue also made the three of them do extra training!

"Listen to me, you three! From now on, do 2,000 push-ups and 500 sit-ups with 200 pounds of weight. Don't stop until you've finished. Everyone will be watching you finish before we begin the training!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding recruits were all taken aback.

Two thousand push-ups and five hundred sit-ups are considered a very intense physical training exercise for a martial artist of this level of cultivation.

Not to mention that Zhang Ruxue added conditions.

Carrying a load of 200 pounds!

This means that the three of them have to complete these physical training exercises while strapped with about 200 pounds of weight.

Someone with poor physical strength would probably die from exhaustion on the spot.

"This...this punishment is way too harsh!"

"My God! Isn't this pure torture? Are we going to be punished like this every time we're late?"

No new recruit could remain unmoved upon hearing such a punishment.

However, Li Mo and the other two were different.

Li Mo was one of the hardest-working students at Starry Sky University, especially in physical training, which was the only training program where the poor could compete on equal footing with the rich. Naturally, Li Mo trained to the extreme in this area.

As for Zheng Jiahao, although he is a bit thin, his ability to possess such skills at the sixth level of the Hidden Edge Realm is related to his daily physical training.

Xu Feng, needless to say, was originally a pure body cultivator.

The three of them remained silent, took the weighted belts handed to them by the instructor, and began to carry out the punishment.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the three of them actually completed the entire physical training exercise with a 200-pound load without stopping for a moment.

The key point is that after finishing, the three of them didn't feel drenched in sweat, which means that this level of training didn't even reach their limits.

Li Mo, in particular, had his basic attributes greatly enhanced by the Devouring Emperor Body, so much so that he barely broke a sweat.

Everyone was initially quite worried about them, but upon seeing this scene, they couldn't help but gasp in shock.

"Holy crap! It was done so easily? Is this even human?"

"Pervert! Absolutely perverted!"

"The gap between these three and us is just too big! I probably couldn't even last five hundred push-ups."

……

Not to mention the new recruits, even Su Xiaoxiao, who was in charge of the new recruit training, was astonished.

She turned to Zhang Ruxue beside her and said, "Sister Ruxue, the basic attributes of these three people are probably much higher than those of martial artists at the same level! Their foundations are extremely solid!"

"I heard that these three are all from martial arts universities. Li Mo and Zheng Jiahao are from Starry Sky University, and Xu Feng is from Brilliant Martial Arts University. In the past, these universities were full of pampered young masters, but I didn't expect to see so many tough guys from them this year!"

Zhang Ruxue nodded and exclaimed, "Yes! They are not only highly talented but also diligent and hardworking. There are few university students who can do as well as them in terms of physical training! These three people are definitely leading the pack among the new recruits this year."

After expressing her feelings, Zhang Ruxue said to Li Mo and the other two, "Alright! You can rejoin the team now! The training camp will officially begin."

It was called a training camp, but it was really just these instructors teaching the new recruits some military rules.

As for training to improve skills, everyone should do their own thing, since everyone's talent is different and they should be trained in different ways.

Li Mo's special training method was naturally... to kill virtual AI robots.

Killing virtual robots can give Li Mo Devouring Points, increase his combat experience, and improve his cultivation level. It can be said to be a triple benefit!

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

When Li Mo opened his eyes that day, a sharp glint flashed in them, and his entire demeanor had clearly changed.

"Eighth Rank of the Hidden Edge Realm!"

Li Mo slowly exhaled. His cultivation level had improved after several days of arduous training, advancing him to a higher rank.

I must say, this kind of intensive training is indeed very effective, completely different from martial arts academies.

Although Li Mo was also training hard at the Martial Arts University, he spent most of his day attending theory classes and talent courses taught by instructors.

This knowledge was both dry and not very effective for Li Mo.

Now, by abandoning all distractions during cultivation, the results are much better...

He was promoted to a higher rank in a very short time!

Having learned from his previous experience of being late, Li Mo dared not be careless this time and prepared to go to the training ground half an hour early.

However, at that moment a male instructor found him, causing him to frown.

"Li Mo! A teacher from Starry Sky University is looking for you."
