Bab 140: Chapter 140: Should We Exercise at Night?
Nighttime.
In the girls' dormitory, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu were lying weakly on their beds.
"This damn jerk is really hateful! He dares to go hard on me just because he's an instructor! Revenge! This is definitely revenge in its barest form!"
Feeling the soreness and discomfort all over her body, Ning Rongrong bit her pillow and complained.
She was clearly a support system spirit master, so as long as she assisted her teammates well, it should be enough. But even she was forced by Zeng Yi to train by standing on a stake, claiming that support spirit masters could also engage in combat.
What a load of rubbish!
I'm a support spirit master, I assist you, what's the point of making me fight? If I could fight on my own, what do I need you all for?
Ning Rongrong dismissed Zeng Yi's absurdity. However, the master spouted the same nonsense and forcibly demanded that she participate in the training.
With Ning Rongrong's level, she couldn't even stand steadily on the stake, let alone move and fight on it. She didn't know how many times she had fallen off the stake during today's training, and her buttocks were almost sore to the point of damage. It was truly beyond words.
Rubbing her sore bottom, feeling the waves of pain, Ning Rongrong's face grew even more bitter.
I definitely won't be able to get up tomorrow!
Thinking of Zeng Yi's smiling face, Ning Rongrong felt angry.
He's such a despicable jerk! This is definitely revenge on me!
"Hehe, he is our teacher now, Rong Rong, do you dare to confront him like that? He'll definitely give you a little lesson for that." Xiao Wu laughed at Ning Rongrong.
"But Zeng Yi's training method is really interesting and fun. It's just that his punishments are too severe," Xiao Wu said, finding amusement in the sight of their classmates wobbling on the stake.
The most stable one on the stake was Tang San, followed by Zhu Zhuqing, then Xiao Wu herself. As for the other four, they were truly tortured.
Although Xiao Wu could stand steadily on the stake, in battle, she not only had to pay attention to the opponent's attacks but also had to constantly focus on her footing and control the attack's power output to prevent the stake from being destroyed. It was difficult to maintain stability on the stake in such cases.
In today's training, the last to perform was Tang San, followed by Zhu Zhuqing. This surprised everyone, as they never expected it. They were shocked.
Zhu Zhuqing was only a level 29 Spirit Grandmaster, and above her were four Spirit Elder students: Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, and Oscar. Of course, Oscar was a support spirit master and didn't need to compete, but Zhu Zhuqing's performance was actually better than Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai's, which surprised all the students and teachers.
Perhaps it was due to her being a soul master with a cat as a martial soul, but her strength couldn't be denied.
This also made the Grandmaster Yu Xiao Gang admire Zeng Yi even more because he knew that Zhu Zhuqing had been training with Zeng Yi all the time, so her improvement was undoubtedly related to Zeng Yi's guidance.
"But Zeng Yi is really cruel. He doesn't care about the camaraderie between classmates at all. We have to carry the heavy punishment and run three laps for each fall. I think my legs are going to break," Xiao Wu complained.
If it was just the battle, they wouldn't be in such a sorry state. The main issue was the punishment after training, which almost knocked everyone out.
And they hadn't even finished running yet. Zeng Yi allowed them to owe the remaining punishment and slowly pay it back later.
The punishment they owed was enough for them to run for two days and two nights.
"Oh, by the way, are we still going to Zeng Yi's place tonight to check on the situation?" Xiao Wu remembered yesterday's agreement with Ning Rongrong and asked her.
"Let's go! Let's go now," Ning Rongrong immediately got excited at the mention of it and jumped off her bed onto the floor.
"Ouch!"
Thunk.
As soon as she landed on both feet, a wave of soreness and numbness rushed up her thighs. Her legs went weak, and she fell to the ground with a thud.
"Uh, are you okay, Rong Rong?" Seeing her like this, Xiao Wu expressed concern.
"Hehe, I'm fine." Ning Rongrong forced a smile and slowly climbed up, supporting herself with the edge of the bed.
"Let's go! We're leaving now!"
"Or maybe we should go tomorrow? Rest well today?" Seeing Ning Rongrong standing on the ground, her feet trembling slightly, Xiao Wu was worried about her current condition.
"No! We agreed to go tonight. We should keep our word," Ning Rongrong insisted.
"Alright." Xiao Wu didn't say anything more when she saw her determination.
Under the cover of night, the two of them sneaked out of the dormitory and quietly made their way towards Zeng Yi's dormitory.
"Xiao Wu, my legs feel a bit weak. Can you support me?" Ning Rongrong asked.
"Sure."
"Thank you."
Taking advantage of the darkness, the two gradually approached Zeng Yi's dormitory.
As they got closer, suddenly, they caught a touch of desolate and lonely sound of a flute in the air. Their footsteps paused involuntarily.
Ning Rongrong was puzzled and looked at Xiao Wu, whispering, "What sound is that?"
"It should be a flute," Xiao Wu thought for a moment and replied.
"A flute? Could that jerk know how to play a musical instrument?" Ning Rongrong was shocked.
"Yeah! When my brother and I first met Zeng Yi, he played a flute for us, and Director Flender was there too." Thinking back to that scene, Xiao Wu glanced with a hint of reminiscence in her eyes.
"Let's go! Let's go over and take a look quickly." Ning Rongrong urged.
The two sneaked to a big tree about a hundred meters away from Zeng Yi's dormitory, hiding underneath it and poking their heads out to observe the situation.
Their gaze fell upon a figure standing on the rooftop, holding a bamboo flute and playing it attentively. The desolate and lonely flute melody resonated in the surrounding space, with the night wind swirling around the entire house, making the fallen leaves dance in the air.
The moonlight illuminated that figure, and Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu could clearly see his appearance.
It wasn't anyone else but Zeng Yi.
Seeing that figure, his blue robe and long hair drifting with the wind, his temperament elegant and otherworldly, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but be infatuated with him.
"Tch, he's showing off again." Before long, Ning Rongrong suddenly came back to her senses and muttered under her breath.
Then Ning Rongrong carefully observed the surroundings and found that besides Zeng Yi, there was no one else.
Is Zhu Zhuqing not here? Could it be that she hasn't arrived yet?
Ning Rongrong couldn't help but feel confused.
"Zhu Zhuqing isn't here, huh?" Ning Rongrong looked at Xiao Wu and couldn't help but feel a little happy.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"She probably didn't come today. After all, today's training was too intense. She's probably resting in the dormitory," Xiao Wu replied after thinking for a moment.
"Uh-"
Hearing Xiao Wu's response, Ning Rongrong's face fell.
"Hehe, maybe I really could have been mistaken." Seeing Ning Rongrong like this, Xiao Wu consoled her.
"Hey, the sound of the flute stopped."
As the sound of the flute disappeared from their ears, the two immediately reacted and looked back in that direction, only to find that Zeng Yi's figure was no longer on the rooftop.
This made the two of them tense up.
"Two students? What are you doing here so late at night?" A faint voice sounded behind the two.
"Ah!"
"Yah!"
The sudden sound startled the two, causing their hairs to stand on end. Their necks recoiled as they jumped up instantly, emitting two shrill screeches that echoed through the night sky.
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, with already weak legs, collapsed to the ground in fright.
"Hahaha."
Seeing the two scared out of their wits, Zeng Yi heartily burst into laughter.
"Ah! Zeng Yi, you're dead!" Realizing what had happened, Ning Rongrong got up, pouted, and gave Zeng Yi a fierce stare.
Ning Rongrong's little trick couldn't faze Zeng Yi. He effortlessly caught the stone she had thrown at him.
"What are you two doing here?" Zeng Yi asked as he looked at the two girls.
"None of your business!"
Ning Rongrong stood up from the ground, patted her bottom, and glared at Zeng Yi.
"Hehe, we wanted to enjoy the moonlight and take a stroll. Just walking around," Xiao Wu said with a smile.
"Walking? Strolling?" Zeng Yi narrowed his eyes as he looked at the two. It was evident that they were lying.
"It seems like the two of you still have a lot of energy. Shouldn't you pay back the punishment you owe? Xiao Wu, you still have sixty-eight laps to go, and Ning Rongrong, you still owe one hundred and fifty-three laps!" Zeng Yi chuckled.
