Soul Land (Douluo Dalu)
Chapter 42's

Part 1

Dai Mubai fell down beside Zhu Zhuqing panting, his entire body trembling slightly.

Xiao Wu's scorpion braid was already disordered, sweat dripping nonstop, his lips quivering.

Tang San moved Ma Hongjun and Oscar so they could lie in their own basket, and he took all the extra weight. His current vision was also blurred, but a few things in his mind still supported him.

For others, the punishment or training had been completed. But for him, not yet.

Holding a table that held a bucket of water and carried a weight of fifteen kilograms, Tang San barely stood up and began to walk step by step forward.

Although he did not need to support others, his move was already shocking.

"Brother, I will accompany you. ”

Xiao Wu also stood by holding the table, but he fell to the ground before he could take a second step. Although the condition of his body was much better than Zhu Zhuqing, he brought Ning Rongrong for a considerable distance, so he was also very extreme.

"Little San, I'll accompany you too. ”

It was Dai Mubai. Also holding her own weight, Dai Mubai staggered beside Tang San. The two looked at each other, their pale faces barely letting out a strange smile. Almost simultaneously, they clasped each other's right hands.

The next moment, the two that lasted the longest in "punishment" fell to the ground, taking the path of their other friends.

Seven Monsters Shrek, seven punished, seven on the ground, passed out.

The grandmaster looked at them falling down one after another, but never moved. Until Tang San and Dai Mubai fainted, he finally showed a faint smile.

“Never leave, never give up. Good . ”

Flender, carrying Zhao Wuji and several other teachers quietly appeared beside the Grandmaster.

"Grandmaster, you're fine. Pretty mean. ”

The grandmaster did not object to the dissatisfaction in Flender's words. Waving his head, he said, "It's time to get them there. ”

Including the Grandmaster, all the teachers quickly took off the children's baskets, taking them to the academy.

When Tang San woke up, he found himself in the dorm again. Warmth invaded his body from all directions, a comfortable feeling almost made him groan.

While calming down, Tang San found himself naked inside a giant wooden barrel. The barrel is full of gray liquid. Oscar was on the other side, sound asleep. Due to the two additional barrels, the room already felt crowded.

By stirring up the liquid, a not-so-stinging medicinal scent entered his nose. Tang San moved his nose, and he immediately understood faintly.

Coming to this world, although he had never in detail researched about medicine in this world, he roughly knew a little. The medicinal ingredients of this world were very similar to the world he was in. The liquid in the barrel should be boiled from several ingredients that mainly help the muscles relax and strengthen the basics. That's why after a lot of exercise, he didn't feel any pain after waking up. Just a little pain in both his legs and a slightly weak body.

Later Tang San discovered that in order to keep the barrels warm, once in a while they had to add more hot water. The women's barrels were managed by some of the village women they hired.

On the side of the barrel was a piece of paper with the handwriting of the Grandmaster.

“Come to the cafeteria to eat when you wake up. ”

Seeing the "eat", Tang San suddenly felt his stomach grumble, hunger pangs up.

Standing out from the water, he discovered that beside the two large barrels, there were also two smaller baskets. Inside was clean water, it was clear for them to clean themselves. The water was cold, so when Tang San jumped he could not help but shiver. He instantly felt his mind clear, and the pain in his body slowly faded.

Quickly washing the liquid and changing into clean clothes, Tang San walked out of the dormitory. To his surprise, the sky was already covered with stars. On a quiet night, the insect chirps occasionally, giving it a calm feeling.

Stretching violently, his entire body began to crack, as if his entire body was fully extended. Breathing in fresh air instead of stale air inside, he walked towards the cafeteria.

Away from there, you can already see the lights of the cafeteria. As Tang San walked into the cafeteria, he found one person scratching himself.

Hearing the footsteps, the one who ate looked back at Little San. It was Dai Mubai. His superior spirit power allowed him to wake up faster.

"Little San, come eat quickly. It tastes so good. ”

Double disciple Dai Mubai had recovered to his normal condition. Seeing Tang San, he immediately smiled. They have shared their joys and sorrows many times, having difficulties and accidents together. This empathic feeling does not need words to express itself. They looked at each other and could already feel friendship with each other.

Sitting beside Dai Mubai, he found six servings of food on the table, clearly prepared for the others. On the table was also a slip of paper, as well as the handwriting of the Grandmaster.

“When you finish eating, wash dishes. Drain the water in your dormitory barrel and clean it. Don't sleep, tanami until noon. Meet in the morning for class. ”

Dinner was so fancy. A large bowl of fragrant boiled meat, five snow-white steamed buns, one bowl of condensed soup, and a plate of vegetables and fruits.

Her rumbling stomach made Tang San have no time to mince words, instantly starting to torture himself, clearing out all the food in front of him.

Good, very good, very good. After a lot of exercise, the filling of food feels like it is instantly absorbed by the body.

Dai Mubai finished his meal when Tang San still often grabbed himself, leaning on the table and staring at Tang San. Seeing that he was about to finish eating, he said:

"Little San, the Grandmaster is truly ruthless, far more vicious than Dean Flender. Looking at the Grandmaster's message, I'm afraid our future won't be pleasant. This was what the Grandmaster had taught earlier? ”

Tang San shook his head, saying:

“Teacher taught me most of the theoretical knowledge. This type of training is a first for me as well. However, yesterday Master told me, as a Spirit Master, our bodies are our foundation. The fact that I could withstand the attacks of the Man Spider Demon spirit ring beyond the extreme was inseparable from my powerful body. Only with a strong body could one withstand more spirit power. Perhaps that is why Master wants us to improve our basic body exercises. ”

Dai Mubai laughed bitterly.

“It is not as simple as an upgrade. The Grandmaster training for us is completely based on our extremes. If it were not for the quality of our bodies, we would probably not be able to move for days. Although the strange liquid barrel definitely helps. ”

"I'm starving to death, where should I eat?"

A person ran quickly from outside. Without greeting Tang San and Dai Mubai, he immediately pounced on the food.

It was Xiao Wu. Seeing her face that was flushed red, Tang San smiled. Clearly, Xiao Wu was also recovering from extreme training.

Xiao Wu ate and saw the paper slip on the table. He immediately pointed towards Tang San, telling them to talk to him after he finished eating.

Waking up from a deep sleep and eating, Tang San felt extremely lazy and did not want to move at all. Impersonating Dai Mubai, she also leaned against the table, staring at the unfriendly Xiao Wu as she often grabbed.

Other than just having two steamed buns, the girls had the same food as them. Although Xiao Wu did not have a big mouth, his eating was not hampered in the slightest. Food is destroyed in a short time.

The fourth was not Oscar, the only other one above thirty, but Zhu Zhuqing.

When Zhu Zhuqing walked in, her face was so calm that she saw Dai Mubai, then she deliberately stiffened her face, but in her eyes, Tang San clearly did not see any rejection.

Zhu Zhuqing's eating pose was much more graceful than Xiao Wu's, chewing carefully. Every movement looked graceful, but behind this elegance was speed. If not for the rapidly diminishing food, Tang San really could not believe his seemingly slow movements could eat so quickly.

“Very comfortable, I'm done eating. ”

Without a care at all, Xiao Wu lied on Tang San's shoulder,

"Little San, did you run the last two laps?"

Tang San bitterly laughed and shook his head,

“No, after you passed out, Dai Mubai and I also fainted. When I woke up, I was inside a vat filled with medicinal liquid. ”

Xiao Wu's charming face suddenly reddened. Sitting straight, he said slowly:

"Are you wearing nothing?"

Tang San's mind was blank, involuntarily nodding his head.

Xiao Wu stuck out his tongue,

“In our dormitory there was a piece of paper telling us not to worry, our clothes were removed by the village lady. Let's eat in the cafeteria. ”

Tang San chuckled, saying:

“Xiao Wu, you look so cute when your face is red, like an apple. ”

As he spoke, he attentively pinched his face. Xiao Wu only looked at him accusingly but did not stop him.

Dai Mubai said:

“Oscar and the others have not woken up, maybe too tired. Let's get back to cultivating, we still don't know what kind of evil training Grandmaster will tell us to do tomorrow. ”

Tang San nodded. Just as he was about to clean his plate, Xiao Wu stopped him.

"You can go . Washing dishes is not something you should do. Leave it to us. ”

Section 2

Tang San smiled faintly, rubbed Xiao Wu's head and walked out.

Dai Mubai's gaze fell on Zhu Zhuqing. Zhu Zhuqing had not finished eating but she emptied one hand and piled up the Dai Mubai dishes as well. Even though he did not speak, his actions spoke for him.

Dai Mubai was very flattered. He clearly knew Zhu Zhuqing was shy, so he did not say anything and chased away Tang San.

As the two walked out of the cafeteria door, Xiao Wu spoke again. "Dishwashing isn't something men should do, but we'll leave that giant barrel for you empty and clean. Remember to get up early to help us! "

Tang San staggered, almost stumbling on the door frame. He turned around only to see Xiao Wu waving at him with a sly smile.

Last night before cultivation he had already cleaned his own barrel. The dormitory is empty again. Oscar was also cultivating in his bed, his barrel was also clean.

Quietly leave, cultivate the Purple Demon Eyes, and eat. After all this, Tang San went to knock on Xiao Wu's door. Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong had already gotten up and went to eat. Tang San helped them clean the heavy barrels.

A familiar gong clock sounded and Seven Monsters Shrek immediately rushed into the field.

The grandmaster was already standing in the field waiting for them. Looking at the calm and stiff Grandmaster's face, other than Tang San, everyone couldn't help but feel nervous, even a little scared.

"Very good . Everyone came quickly today. "The Grandmaster nodded, ordinary gazes sweeping across their faces. “True action made me very satisfied. Although some people did not finish their punishment, what made me satisfied was on you, I saw the spirit to not leave and not give up. As a friend, how can you easily give your back to your friends? All you need is trust. You all do well, trust in each other allows you to finish the test yesterday better.

"Before we start today's lesson, Tang San, go finish your punishment.

"Yes nih . "Tang San said and turned to run out of the Academy.

“Little San, I will accompany you as I said yesterday. "Xiao Wu leaped happily towards Tang San.

Ning Rongrong suddenly said: "Let's go too. Aren't we all entities? "

Oscar stretched his arms. “Heating also works. This time it is not a punishment, it is just accompanying him, so we do not need to carry the burden. ”

Fatty, pouting and anxious, said: "It seems like I really should lose weight. It's not easy for me to get all this fat! "

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had already run out, "Stop talking, quickly catch up!"

Entity overall. What a good whole entity. The grandmaster was slightly stunned, staring at the teenagers who were leaving.

Clenching his fists, the Grandmaster secretly decided he would do his best to educate these teenagers. It was also from that day that Grandmaster let the Seven Monsters Shrek fully realize the meaning of the demon. When monsters meet demons, what happens?

Grandmaster training for them was simple. One or two hours of fighting per day, with every day situations different. The two sides of the battle were decided randomly. Sometimes 1v1, sometimes 2v2, sometimes 3v3, and sometimes even 3v4.

The grandmaster every day would provide special restrictions. For example, which spirit abilities are allowed to use, what they are not allowed to use, and other requests.

After the battle, they would begin their physical training. Just like the first day, during physical training, they could not use their spirit power, and they had to finish it together. Grandmasters have many ways to train them. The simplest is weighted running. The more complicated ones are weighted climbing and other methods. But no matter which method, it had to make the Seven Monster Shrek reach their limits. After a certain period of time, they were already used to waking up at night in the medicine barrel.

Although this evil practice was difficult, there was one thing that Grandmasters were not stingy about. By eating, he tries his best to change it at all times to satisfy everyone's desire for food.

Due to the hectic training schedule, three months passed. Ma Hongjun, probably due to spending too much energy in training, did not even go once to Suo Tuo City to finish his demonic flame. The forging tools Tang San had ordered were delivered a long time ago, but he did not have the time to make any hidden weapons. He didn't even have time to assemble the first batch of the parts that the workshop finished.

Tang San, Oscar and Xiao Wu were officially registered and became Spirit Elders. In order not to cause a sensation, when they went to register, the special Grandmaster let them wear a specially made mask. Although it raised suspicions, hiding one's appearance was quite common and they still managed to receive their monthly salary.

Three months of demonic training did not increase the spirit power of the Seven Monsters Shrek greatly. In that period, only Ma Hongjun's spirit power rose by one rank. But, after three months of extreme training, the quality of their bodies underwent a massive change.

Now, if Tang San and Dai Mubai did a weighty run like the first day, they would have to shoulder over fifty kilograms and still not reach their extreme. One had to know, if they did not use spirit power, it was already a frightening number.

Everyone's body is greatly increased. Under great exercise and competent nutrition, the first obvious change is in their status.

Dai Mubai clearly became stronger, his evil disciples gained a strong sheen. His entire body seemed to contain explosive energy. The him right now actually looked like a ferocious tiger descending from the hill.

The changes to the Oscars are even more obvious. He became an entire circle thinner, but if you just looked at his appearance, no one would think he was a Supporting Spirit Type Master. His powerful figure could definitely match most Combat Type Spirit Masters. Of course, his voice was still that gentle, and his large beard and double peach blossom eyes did not change.

Tang San's appearance barely changed. He still looked very normal, but his entire body seemed calmer. His figure was not too thick and strong, but he grew a little taller. He's like a very normal teenager, something you wouldn't realize if he was in the crowd. What was surprising was that Tang San's spirit power was already at rank thirty-two. This was not from three months of training, but from the spirit ring of the Man Faced Demon Spider. Perhaps due to breaking its limits, the Man Faced Demon Spiders brought great pain, but the benefits were also great. Other than spirit rings and spirit bones, even his spirit power rose to thirty-second rank, making everyone envious. Of course, even though they were envious, none of them dared to absorb spirit rings beyond their limits.

Ma Hongjun became two full circles thinner and did not seem too big like before. Although he was still fat, he looked strong. Spirit power reached rank twenty-eight, it stepped forward with its head high towards rank thirty. The changes in his body made him appear much more acute.

Section 3

Xiao Wu was still his former self, and had the most unwise change in appearance. Even her skin was not tanned, and she was always excited and happy.

However, during the daily fight, he caused quite a lot of suffering. His third spirit ability "Teleportation" appeared and disappeared unexpectedly. Even Dai Mubai and Tang San suffered losses against him.

It was fortunate that his teleportation distance was only within five meters.

Even so, paired with the Waist Bow and Demon Confusion, the melee fighting abilities of the three spirit abilities were terrifying.

Ning Rongrong, compared to his first few days of coming to the Academy, lost almost all of his arrogance. Her face exuded an even more heroic spirit, and her reserved character made her even more charming.

This sparked hopes of Oscar again, who had already given up. Of course, with these three months, even if Oscar wanted to seduce him, he had no power.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, it had to be said that his will was no worse than men. He didn't make a single whimper for three months. Not only did he endure all of that, he sometimes even actively requested harsher training.

His body was the entire circle of skinners, but as the Agility System Spirit Master, his speed, with a stronger body, also increased.

Three months of demonic training finally ended yesterday. Grandmaster gave Shrek's Seven Monsters seven days of vacation for them to adjust their conditions.

Finally having a chance to rest, Oscar goes first to his bed and sleeps. Tang San was cultivated as usual. As Zhu Zhuqing insisted on exercising more, Dai Mubai actively requested to accompany her. Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong decided to become like Oscars, choosing to use this rare holiday for a break.

While listening to Oscar snoring, Tang San collected the parts sent from the workshop. He finally has time today. The workmanship of the Tie Brothers made Tang San very satisfied. So far, the Silent Arm Dart, Powder Shooting Shadow, Crossbow Taut Back Head-Lowering, and other weapon parts have been assembled. Only the G.o.dly Zhuge Crossbow had higher requirements, so he was still working on it. Tang San wanted, with these days of rest, to not only cultivate but also distribute hidden weapons and teach everyone how to use them.

engrossed in the assembly of hidden weapons, time just passed by. Only until Oscar woke up and told him to go eat did Tang San find the sunlight outside had become moonlight and a day had passed.

The two walked out of the dormitory, walking towards the cafeteria. As they walked, they suddenly saw someone walking unsteadily.
