The Soul Land 2

Chapter 40

When Wang Dong hit Huo Yuhao once more, every step he took was painstakingly. However, to his surprise, he saw that Huo Yuhao's eyes were tightly shut; they were only open enough to expose a small gap that faintly emitted a golden light. His steps were taken very slowly compared to Wang Dong, but he still continued to advance. Many of the students who had higher cultivation levels than him had collapsed, but he still steadfastly endured. He even left a trail of sweat with every step he took.

“If you can't do it, don't force yourself.” Wang Dong spoke in a low voice before continuing. The number of rounds he had run so far exceeded everyone by a large margin. However, his body had already reached its limit.

Another hour passed, with time remaining until the bell rang ever closer. There were only nine students still walking around Shrek Plaza. However, the person who had been considered as ‘cushion under’ since the beginning, Huo Yuhao, was one of them.

Zhou Yi had been watching Huo Yuhao the entire time. He was amazed when two hours passed. Based on Huo Yuhao's physical strength and soul strength, he should have already reached his limit in two hours, no matter what the situation was. However, he still managed to survive. Although running at a constant speed did provide a slight benefit, his cultivation and physical condition were both there!

Can one's determination really be strong to this extent? Moreover, he was still very young.

“Putong, putong ..” Two more students passed out, and when they did, they created a domino effect. Several students collapsed successively following the duo, one of them happened to meet Wang Dong, who was next to him.

Wang Dong stumbled, his aching leg unable to hold on anymore. When he fell, his thoughts about perseverance also collapsed. However, he ran the largest number of laps in the class; nothing left could exceed the number of laps he ran.

There were still three people still running, one of them was Huo Yuhao.

After five minutes, the other two students also fainted. The last person still running was actually Huo Yuhao, the weakest person of Class 1. Even though his pace was weak, and his running speed was not that fast, he was still able to hold on, even when everyone else fell unconscious. This caused astonishment to appear on many students' faces as they looked at him.

It was true that Huo Yuhao had reached his limit, and it was also true that the warm feeling caused by the Mysterious Heaven Technique could nourish his body and reduce his fatigue to some extent. However, in the end, it did not make him stronger!

He had reached his limit again and again, but had clenched his teeth and held it down at all times. Huo Yuhao understood that he was the weakest among the 1st students, so he had to do 200%, or even 300% of their hard work if he wanted to remain in Shrek Academy. And at this moment, holding his body by reaching its limit could help widen his passageways, and increase his soul power. No matter what, he did his best to persevere at all times.

Persevere .. Persevere! Huo Yuhao inwardly shouted at himself nonstop. At that moment, he did not even have soul power left so he could pour into his Spirit Eyes to stimulate himself and calm his mind.

Slowly, he himself began to sound the ‘song’ that he used to support himself.

“Mother mother...” This was all for the last wish of his mother; for the sake of being able to take his mother's body from that place one day .. for the sake of taking away his mother's humiliation and avenging her.

“Gedebuk, thud ..” Huo Yuhao's footsteps are very heavy. His legs and body were trembling uncontrollably. But he did not fall. In such difficult conditions, he still repeated the machine-like movements of lifting his legs, putting them down, lifting them back up, and putting them back down once more.

The disdainful expression that the students, who were now falling, had been staring at him slowly disappeared. The power that role models give is incredible. They began to pull themselves back, one by one, before blankly staring at Huo Yuhao's figure as he persevered.

After being stunned for a moment, Wang Dong was the first to keep running after Huo Yuhao. However, he did not catch up to her this time.

With Wang Dong taking the lead, the second, and then the third person gradually began to follow him. Slowly, all the students from Class 1 clenched their teeth and raised their already stiff — legs until they felt dead — to keep running.

The results of this class were far, far greater than what he had imagined.

“Dering ring ding—”

The bell that marks the end of the class finally rings.

Hua la, hua la. Completely the collapse of the row of dominoes this time. The ear-piercing bell instantly caused many people to collapse.

The sound of the collision caused by their chainmail and the ground caused a series of sounds to reverberate out, and drop a cloud of dust into the air.

Huo Yuhao, who was at the very front, finally fainted. The bell caused him to finally let go of all the stubbornness and perseverance in his heart. However, he did not fall directly to the ground. As he fell, Wang Dong, who was right behind him, caught him with his chainmail. As soon as he did, the two of them rolled onto the ground together. The two gasped together.

As he looked towards the sky, Huo Yuhao's vision darkened for a while. However, the passageways inside his body became warm and comfortable, and felt very comfortable. The soul power within his body had been exhausted, and his physical strength had already been withdrawn long before that. However, his hallways still made him feel very comfortable. He had a premonition that, in all aspects, his cultivation would experience a great improvement after this.

Wang Dong lay down beside Huo Yuhao. Both his cultivation and his body condition were much stronger than Huo Yuhao, so even though he was extremely exhausted, he was unlike Huo Yuhao, who could not move at all.

“I really don't know what power made it so you can survive until now. You are a Soul Master with only a ten year soul ring, but you can last longer than a Soul Grandmaster like me. You're a real freak. ”

Huo Yuhao laughed twice. He didn't even have the energy to talk anymore.

Zhou Yi slowly took a deep breath, then gestured into the distance. A white-clothed man arrived as if he was floating in the air. He arrived at Zhou Yi's side with what looked like a few light steps. After nodding towards him, he turned towards the students.

His dazzling soul rings rose from his feet one by one. There are two yellow ones, two purple ones, and three black ones. He actually had seven soul rings.

Sage Soul! This was actually a Sage Soul rank expert, who was above the seventyth rank! He was already approaching the peak of soul teachers! Moreover, he only looked to be around thirty years old. Merely, the visible changes in his eyes did not match his youthful outward appearance.

He raised his hand, and the soft green color – leaves – suddenly started to grow from his palm. His seventh soul ring lit up brightly as it revolved around him, but the students could only see his body flashing once before it suddenly disappeared. The green leaves grew wild, and in the blink of an eye, the leaves suddenly turned into a huge, extremely tall tree.

A cool breeze seemed to blow past them. Then, dark green foliage began to fly out from the enormous tree canopy. Precisely ninety-one leaves landed lightly on the student body of Class 1; not one more, and not one more.

Seriate...
