Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 38 - Three Months

Since obtaining the status of core disciples, Qian Lingyun and Qian Renxue have been leading the study of theory in the mornings. Although they are reading books about soul tools, they can always answer any questions accurately.

They could answer questions fluently, even about things that some hibiscus might not know.

After a while, Mu Jin tacitly approved of the two students reading books for other subjects during class.

Both are beautiful and strong, and they are always surrounded by a group of suitors who try to get close to them by asking them questions.

To this, both sisters said the same thing: "Ask the class monitor about this kind of question, don't ask me, I'm just the vice class monitor."

Similarly, the afternoon physical training also became "colorful" under the interference of Qian Lingyun and Qian Renxue!

Ordinary weighted running is considered very outdated by them; new-era Soul Masters should move forward in other directions simultaneously.

In this way, the students of Class 9 truly experienced the terror of the "devil instructor".

They put students through all sorts of exercises, from weighted push-ups and weighted lizard crawls to weighted sit-ups on the horizontal bar. The students were brought to tears by the two vice class monitors' training, and even Mu Jin couldn't bear to watch anymore.

Every time I tried to dissuade them, I was met with words like, "This is reasonable training. You'll see how much they improve in a few days."

Even the students who were being ruthlessly tested just a second ago shouted out, "Don't pity me! I can still hold on!"

After all, Qian Lingyun is not a conductor, but a doer; she does more and better than them!

In this atmosphere, Mu Jin's workload was significantly reduced every day.

Most of the matters that required her attention, except for those that absolutely required her approval and signature, were handled by Ning Tian, ​​who was being groomed as the future sect leader. In terms of learning and training, Bai Xue was there for literature, and Bai Yun was there for martial arts.

Mu Jin saw all the students' hard work and dedication. In fact, in the atmosphere of working together, she couldn't find any problems with these students.

A student who is enthusiastic in class and works hard in training—who wouldn't like such a student?

Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and Mu Jin was surprised to find that the students in her class were much better physically than before, and their knowledge reserves were just as good.

More importantly, three months into the semester, Class 9 of the new students still had the same number of students as on the first day of school: one hundred.

For three whole months of freshman year, not a single student was expelled—a sight that Shrek Academy had never seen in its thousands of years of history.

Qian Renxue asked Qian Lingyun about these things on the first night of the grueling training, but Qian Lingyun, soaking in a tub of medicine, gave the following answer:

We do want to destroy Shrek Academy, but the guys in the class are innocent.

I brought them along while training myself, just because it was convenient. Their future paths are their own; some may enter Shrek Academy's inner court, while others may choose other paths.

To me, only those who stand in my way are enemies.

Perhaps, many years from now, some of them will still remember me when they think back to those few months as freshmen!

During this time, Qian Lingyun saw Huo Yuhao again. It was late at night when she and Qian Renxue went out for an extra meal.

It was late at night when the two of them finished eating and drinking and were preparing to return to their dormitory area. As they passed Shrek Square in front of the teaching building, they were surprised to find a figure moving slowly on the track of Shrek Square, and they could vaguely hear the faint clanging of chains on the body.

Upon closer inspection, they saw a figure drenched in sweat. His iron armor was completely soaked, and every step he took resulted in profuse perspiration.

Qian Renxue paused to watch for a while, then nudged Qian Lingyun beside her and asked curiously, "Is this kind of oppressive training really beneficial?"

"Yes, I think people should balance work and rest. Blindly working hard is like a taut rubber band that will break at any time."

As they were talking, Qian Lingyun grinned and said softly, "Furthermore, training varies from person to person. For us, running like this is far less effective than burning our meridians with your divine flames."

"What, are you missing that feeling again?" Qian Renxue smiled, a golden flame already forming in her hand.

With a gulp, Qian Lingyun stared intently at the ball of flame, subconsciously swallowing hard. As if she had thought of something terrifying, she turned and left at a speed that even Qian Renxue could not match.

The next morning, the whole class was filled with a cheerful and lively atmosphere. When Qian Lingyun and her companion entered the classroom, every student greeted them warmly. Even Wu Feng, whom she had beaten up, nodded shyly when he saw her.

"Classmates, after three months of hard work, it's finally time for you to show your skills!" Mu Jin excitedly rushed into the classroom carrying a stack of papers, nodding repeatedly as she looked at the steady and determined students below.

Over the past three months, the three Soul Master students in the class have each played their part, leading the whole class to make progress together. The freshman class of Class 9 has not only undergone a great change in its mental outlook, but even their eyes have gained a kind of fierce spirit of not being convinced.

"My class monitor!" Mu Jin waved to Ning Tian, ​​who quickly walked to the front of the classroom, picked up a stack of papers from the table, divided them into five parts, and passed them down from the front row.

Once the students each had a blank sheet of paper, Mu Jin sighed with a touch of melancholy, "Everyone, write down the future development direction of your martial spirit on the paper and hand it to me after class."

"After the freshman assessment is over, we'll all be going our separate ways. Honestly, in all my years as a teacher, you're the best class I've ever taught. I think no matter how many more years I teach here, I'll never forget you."

"I believe everyone knows why no one in the class has been expelled in three months. Besides your own hard work, you can also see the hard work of the three class monitors and vice monitors," Mu Jin wiped her slightly moist eyes and said slowly, "I hope you all have a bright future ahead of you."

After stirring up emotions, Mu Jin began to explain the other key points:

"We've already covered the general content; now let's talk about staffing."

"You are still young, so there won't be too many people in each group. This year's team battle will still have three people per team."

"When forming teams, each team can have a maximum of one offensive-type Soul Master. The other two team members can be chosen freely. Teams will be formed by students from the same dormitory first, and the rest can be formed freely. If you are unable to form a team freely, the teams will be decided by drawing lots."

"In addition, the top four teams in the knockout stage will each receive different rewards from the academy. The reward for the champion team will be extremely rare."

"That's the general outline. Now let's start assigning teams."

"Our Class 9 is currently full with 100 students, which can be divided into 33 groups, and we still have one extra person," Mu Jin said, her gaze sweeping back and forth across the crowd before finally settling on a shy girl.

"Based on the information from the first round of statistics, Ning Tian and I have carefully analyzed your respective martial spirits and characteristics and completed the grouping."

"If anyone is not satisfied, they can adjust it themselves and hand it to me before school ends this afternoon, understand?"

According to the original work, the physical training in Douluo Continent II is still running, but it has changed from carrying stones ten thousand years ago to wearing iron armor...

Running with weights is very damaging to the knees; even weighted push-ups or similar exercises are more effective.

So I added it here!
