Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

She didn't know if it was because of the exercise or because of the contact they had just made.

"Everyone performed well overall today."

Zhao Wuji walked in front of the crowd with his hands behind his back, but his gaze intentionally or unintentionally drifted toward Ning Rongrong.

"However, I still want to remind some students: since your physical fitness is not up to par, you should use your spare time to exercise instead of... going out every few days to go shopping and relax."

Although Zhao Wuji did not name names directly, everyone knew who he was talking about.

Since the start of the school year, Ning Rongrong has indeed been the one who skips training the most times and the most blatantly.

"You're spying on me?"

Ning Rongrong's face stiffened, and she blurted out.

"Surveillance?"

Zhao Wuji raised a thick eyebrow and said calmly, "Is there any need to monitor this?"

"A few days ago, you sneaked out of the academy in broad daylight and only strolled back leisurely in the evening. Did you really think the teachers were blind?"

"So what if it is!"

Ning Rongrong simply raised her chin and said domineeringly, "I'm a support-type Soul Master, running is fine as long as it's just a little bit, is it necessary to be so strict?"

"strict?"

Suddenly, a voice came from the entrance to the playground.

Everyone turned to look and saw Dean Flander walking towards them at a leisurely pace.

He walked up to Ning Rongrong, his gaze behind his glasses calm yet imposing, and said, "This isn't strict; it's just a rule of Shrek Academy."

"What, you want to break the academy's rules?"

“I…” Ning Rongrong put her hands on her hips, about to retort.

"Dean."

Wang Teng suddenly stepped forward, blocking Ning Rongrong and Flander.

"Actually, it's not entirely Ning Rongrong's fault for finding the training monotonous."

He carefully considered his words before speaking, saying, "Running laps around the track all the time can be quite boring."

"Over time, everyone's enthusiasm will inevitably be dampened."

"Yes, Dean."

Seeing this, Dai Mubai quickly chimed in, saying, "It's wrong for Rongrong to skip class, but could the academy's training methods be... a little more flexible?"

Xiao Wu, Oscar, and the others nodded in agreement, creating a slightly awkward atmosphere in the room.

Flander adjusted his glasses, glanced at everyone, and asked, "Oh? You find running monotonous?"

"Then tell me, what kind of training is not monotonous?"

Everyone was speechless.

Their words were mostly meant to help Ning Rongrong out of a difficult situation; if asked to come up with a concrete solution, they really couldn't think of one in a short time.

"Dean, I think that besides long-distance running, we can actually develop more diverse ways to exercise."

Wang Teng's voice rang out again, drawing everyone's attention.

He gathered his thoughts briefly and continued, "For example, sprinting and shuttle runs can improve explosive power and agility."

"For example, weight training can gradually increase strength."

"Practice sparring with classmates can not only help them master the use of soul skills, but also accumulate combat experience."

At this point, Wang Teng paused, and seeing that Flander was listening attentively, he continued, "In addition to these simple training exercises, we can also use the environment around the academy for practice."

"For example, isn't that bamboo forest on the back hill a natural training ground?"

“We can set up simple traps in the forest to practice dodging and reaction; and use bamboo to climb and improve our overall coordination.”

"In addition, basic physical training such as push-ups and squats can also effectively strengthen core strength."

At this point, Wang Teng's eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "By the way, there's another training method I think will be very effective, and that is swimming."

"Exercising in a pool allows the water resistance to act evenly on every muscle in the body, providing a very comprehensive workout."

Wang Teng explained his thoughts to Flander in detail.

"Hey, Wang Teng."

Xiao Wu blinked and said, "Most of these things you mentioned seem to be things you used back in Notting Academy, right?"

"really."

Wang Teng nodded frankly and said, "These are all methods that I have personally tried and found effective."

That's why I said it.

"Dean, what do you think?"

Wang Teng looked at Flander with a serious expression.

In fact, Wang Teng made these suggestions based on two levels of consideration.

Firstly, it was indeed a convenient way to help Ning Rongrong out of a predicament and ease tensions between them.

After all, he was hoping to establish some contact with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School through Ning Rongrong, such as helping to acquire whale glue.

Secondly, and more importantly, he genuinely wanted to change Shrek Academy's singular training model.

In the original world, Flander's training involved running. After Yu Xiaogang arrived, it became weighted running. Even ten thousand years later, the training method still seems to remain within the framework of "running".

Now that he is a member of Shrek Academy, Wang Teng hopes to introduce a more scientific and diverse training system, both for the sake of his teammates and for his own future growth.

At this moment, the arena fell silent for a moment, with Flander stroking his chin, remaining silent for a long time.

"Dean, what do you think?"

Wang Teng couldn't help but press for an answer.

"Well..."

Flanders pondered for a moment and said, "What you've suggested does sound quite good."

“Sprints, shuttle runs, and push-ups can be done on the playground; trap and climbing training in the bamboo forest can also be arranged in the bamboo forest behind the village.”

"but……"

Flander paused, looked at Wang Teng, and said hesitantly, "The swimming training you mentioned is a bit troublesome. After all, you've seen the conditions at Shrek Academy; there's no ready-made pool here."

"We can find a way to solve this."

Wang Teng immediately responded, "Isn't there a small river near the academy? We can dig an irrigation canal to bring in the river water and build a swimming pool on campus."

"This way, it can be used for training and also to cool off in the summer."

"We'll dig our own swimming pool?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai frowned, his tone revealing his reluctance.

The others wore similar expressions.

Training is training, but when it comes to actually digging and building ditches, it's not really their job.

"What's wrong with digging it yourself?"

A cold, clear voice rang out.

Zhu Zhuqing took half a step forward, her gaze calmly sweeping over everyone, and said, "Consider this part of the training as well."

"Anyway, it's all about exercising, so what's the difference between any form of exercise?"

"Zhu Qing is right!"

Dai Mubai immediately changed his attitude and stood next to Zhu Zhuqing.

"I think this is a great idea too!"

"Hey, Boss Dai, you've really changed your tune fast."

Ma Hongjun teased, winking and making faces.

"Screw you!"

Dai Mubai chuckled and cursed, then quietly moved half a step closer to Zhu Zhuqing.

Chapter 135 Modifying Shrek

Zhu Zhuqing subtly moved closer to Xiao Wu's side, while Dai Mubai's face showed an undisguised disappointment.

Then, Flander looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu, who had not yet expressed their opinions, and asked, "What about you two? What do you think of Wang Teng's proposal?"

"We agree."

Tang San and Xiao Wu said in unison.

"it is good!"

Flanders clapped his hands and said, "Since everyone agrees, then it's settled."

"Starting tomorrow, the academy's training model will be adjusted, and we will also personally renovate the academy's training facilities!"

Flander's gaze swept over the group of young Soul Masters before him, and he began to assign tasks.

"Next, we will split into two groups: the boys' group will be responsible for digging a swimming pool and excavating a canal to connect to the nearby river; the girls' group will go to the bamboo forest behind the mountain to design and set up traps and mechanisms, and plan subsequent forest climbing and combat training programs."

"Yes, Dean!"

The crowd responded in unison.

As the morning light gradually brightened, it stretched everyone's shadows long and slender.

Flanders waved his hand and laughed, "Now, dismissed! Go have breakfast!"

The boys and girls immediately relaxed and walked towards the cafeteria in twos and threes.

As Ning Rongrong passed by Wang Teng, she lowered her head and whispered, "Thank you."

After saying that, Ning Rongrong immediately ran away.
