Chapter 351: Devil Training

Hu, hu, hu!

He was huffing and puffing like an ox.

Between the star fortresses, there was a long metallic wall that extended through the Great Wall University’s entire territory. The top of these walls was extremely vast, filled with numerous armed robots and flying shuttles that chose to dock there.

A group of figures wearing gravity suits aligned themselves in a formation and was running on the top of the wall. Each of their steps felt as heavy as a mountain, creating loud banging noises when their feet came in contact with the ground.

All of these freshmen had powerful vitality stats, yet they were panting so heavily due to the heavy weight. They felt like their bodies were about to crumble apart.

A 10x value of their vitality stats? Who would find this run easy?

Regardless of how powerful these freshmen were usually, they were under so much pressure that their sweat coated their entire bodies.

The instructor held a whip in his hand to whip those who dropped their paces and lagged behind, forcing them to increase their speed. He wouldn’t even allow them to lag behind by a single step.

Feng Lin didn’t have it easy either. Based on his vitality stat, it was now equivalent to him carrying an object of 13 tonnes on himself.

What sort of concept was this?

Ordinary humans would have long been crushed into meat paste.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene and Beast King Gene belonged to the body-strengthening category, allowing him to have a stone body and steel bones, granting him strength, he would find it tough to even walk.

Since even Feng Lin felt this way, there was no need to mention what the other freshmen were feeling.

One must know that not everyone was the same as Feng Lin who had strengthened his body to the limits of his current cultivation realm.

All of them were panting like dogs.

Feng Lin gritted his teeth. Under such extreme pressure, he could feel his life potential being squeezed out from him.

He endured the fatigue and continued to run.

The ten plus people up in the front were the most dazzling ones. Donghuang Taichu and Augustus were naturally among them.

One of them had to carry a weight of over 40 tonnes while the other had to carry a weight of over 30 tonnes. Yet, they didn’t complain at all. Rivulets of sweat ran down their bodies; their determination was clearly extraordinary.

All of these geniuses were extraordinary in their own rights. The things they had experienced to reach this point could be written into a popular novel.

As for Donghuang Taichu and Augustus, since they could stand at the peak of their peers, their backgrounds naturally had something to do with that.

But even though their clans were huge, they weren’t the only genius in their generations. Why was it that they could outshine the rest?

Clearly, their determinations and wills far surpassed ordinary people.

“Aiyo, this devil training is too perverse!”

“I’m going to die from fatigue!”

“I’m reaching my limits soon!”

…

The more they ran, the heavier their steps got. Occasionally, there would be people lagging behind as they sighed and complained.

“You guys can’t even endure this? Our Great Wall University doesn’t need trash. Either you continue to run or scram immediately. If you can’t handle this, wouldn’t you all become a deserter in the battlefield seeing what weak wills you have? You guys would only harm humanity!” The instructor wasn’t polite. His words were like knives, stabbing into the hearts of these people as the whip on his hand lashed out at them.

Those people who were whipped stumbled. However, they only dared to be angry but didn’t dare to show it. They could only endure it silently and continue to run.

The Great Wall University was a military school, so what’s important here was discipline.

If someone chose to rebel, not only would they be courting humiliation for themselves, but they might even be imprisoned for lesser offenses or expelled for greater offenses.

Evidently, these freshmen were very tactful and understood this.

“No way. The Great Wall University said that it would take good care of this prince and will nurture me into an interstellar expert. What we are doing now is basically torture. I want to return!”

At this moment, an inharmonious and sharp voice rang out, causing gazes in the surroundings to turn over.

A green-skinned monster slumped on the ground, rolling to break its fall.

A group of space goblins clustered around the goblin prince, trying to persuade it.

“Prince, try to endure it a little more!”

“This instructor is extremely terrifying. If you anger him, all of us would face troubles!”

…

“Impossible, unless the university can give me time to rest, let me wear the most luxurious robes, drink the most expensive drinks in the galaxy, and let me bathe in the sunlight, I will simply lie down here and not gonna move anymore!” That goblin prince was unwilling to listen to persuasion. He rolled on the ground like a spoiled child and clenched his hands into fists as he banged the ground.

Crack!

A loud sound rang out as the instructor cracked his whip. He peered down at the goblin prince as he spoke in a heavy voice, “Goblin prince, are you planning to defy military orders?”

It was as though the goblin prince sensed a heavy killing intent; its eyes suddenly narrowed but he was still reluctant to admit his mistake. “I don’t care. I want to rest! In my empire, even my royal father wouldn’t do this to me. If you dare to force me, I will go back and complain to my father, saying that the Great Wall University bullied me!…”

Even before it finished speaking, the sound of a crack rang out again.

The whip in the instructor’s hand flailed out mercilessly, whipping the poor goblin prince. The force of the blow sent the goblin prince flying through the air, even somersaulting over ten times.

Its long nose was now crooked. It looked extremely comical and pathetic.

“You dare to hit me?” The goblin prince climbed up. Greenish blood spurted from his nose as he howled in rage, “Damnable humans, after I return, I will use the steam fleet of my goblin empire to kill all of you!”

A single stone causes a thousand-layered wave.

The moment it said this, all the humans turned their gazes over. Their gazes were like ice, like they were staring at a dead person.

If looks could kill, this goblin prince would have died thousand times over.

Dragons have reverse scales. Once their reverse scales are touched, they would go mad with anger.

Humanity and alien races had irreconcilable differences.

To make it worse, this goblin price actually dared to threaten all the geniuses of humanity who were present. It was simply courting death.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the students were afraid of defying the orders to run, most probably someone would have already acted, wiping the goblin prince out from existence.

The faces of the other space goblins drastically changed as they had bitter smiles on their faces. Their prince had said such a thing, wasn’t it simply looking for hardship?

“Do you want your race to be annihilated, shorty?” The instructor was like an unshakable mountain, staring straight at the goblin prince with killing intent flickering in his eyes.

The goblin prince shivered. It started to feel regret because of its impulse.

It could feel that this human didn’t seem to be joking. If his answer was wrong, this human might really kill him.

Its body shivered. It no longer dared to speak nonsense.

“Continue to run!” Seeing that the goblin prince was trembling so badly and not daring to speak. The instructor sent another whiplash at it, knocking it into the air.

This time around, the goblin prince didn’t even dare to let out a single fart. It could only depressedly continue with its run.

The other space goblins also didn’t dare to utter any sounds.

Feng Lin and the other freshmen coldly smiled when they saw this scene. Was this what people meant by ‘Refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit?’

These alien races already became the vassals of humanity, so how could they still act so arrogantly?

They wouldn’t even know how they died.

…

The instructor was at the rear, pushing everyone on, not allowing anyone to slack. After three hours, the 100km run was finally completed.

Their sweat flowed down their bodies like pouring rain. But even before they could catch their breaths, the whip in the instructor’s hand lifted as he spoke in anger, “No rest is permitted. Now, immediately give me 10,000 inverse push-ups!”

“What?” Groans of misery rang out, but their earlier experience told them that objecting was useless.

They could only silently obey orders.

“1, 2, 3…”

Feng Lin was in an inverted push-up position and then stabilized himself in the hand-stand position. His body was as straight as a spear as he started counting his push-ups one by one. His sweat rolled off him, wetting the ground.

Inverse push-ups basically meant that the entirety of the person’s weight would be concentrated on their arms. They had to do push-ups in a hand-stand position.

Feng Lin felt the weight of mountains boring down on his arm. This was incredibly strenuous, and both of his arms were trembling.

This instructor was truly ruthless.

Running with weights on could train their legs. Now, their instructor wanted to squeeze out every last bit of strength from their arms.

By doing so, it seemed that the instructor’s philosophy was that he wouldn’t stop unless everyone collapsed from fatigue.

The students were all in hand-stand positions, their bodies like flag poles.

An immense gravity could be felt pressing down. Their arms were shaking as the sounds of bone cracking rang out.

Occasionally, there would be people who fell from exhaustion.

But under the whiplashes of the instructor, those people had no choice but to climb up and continue with the exercise. No one could slack off.

In the end, only a few people remained unwhipped.

And among them, the one with the lowest cultivation was Feng Lin.

When the instructor walked past him, he could see Feng Lin not slacking off at all, continuing to do his push-ups diligently. Even the instructor found it hard to mask the hint of admiration flashing through his eyes. After that, he no longer checked on Feng Lin.

He was clear that Feng Lin would be able to do it for sure.

In truth, it was as he had expected.

Feng Lin knew that this devil training was a process of enduring. Although on the surface, they wanted to see the constitution of the students, the will and determination of the students were the crucial points.

If one gave up halfway and had to be forced to continue on, that would simply be a waste of strength. They wouldn’t be able to last long.

One had to be able to control their breathing and strength in the midst of the exercises, and continued persistence was the most important thing.

997, 998, 999, 1,000…

Under the immense pressure, all the cells in the human body were extremely active. Everyone soon managed to pass the 1,000 push-ups mark.

Although the action of push-ups was simple, it exhausted the entirety of one’s strength.

And even when their strength and endurance were completely exhausted, Feng Lin, Donghuang Taichu, Augustus, and a few others were among the first to reach the 10,000 mark.

However, the devil training stayed true to its name. The instructor didn’t allow them to slack off at all.

“No rest is permitted. Continue to do 10,000 frog jumps!”

Earlier when they were doing the push-ups, their legs had rested long enough. Now, the instructor wanted to squeeze out all the strength from their legs and waists.

Feng Lin followed the instructions.

Numerous people in the surroundings were complaining.

“Is the instructor serious? What the hell?”

“This isn’t devil training, it’s simply monster training!”

“I really cannot endure for much longer!”

…

Another cracking sound rang out!

The instructor’s whip harshly lashed onto the ground as he roared, “Whoever dares to slack off won’t have any dinner tonight. On the contrary, the strongest of those who completed the training would be able to enjoy the free high-nutrition foods provided by the university. They would also be able to enjoy cultivation resources, using them to recover and greatly improve their cultivation speeds!”

Everyone didn’t dare to object further. They could only have bitter expressions on their faces as they continued with the frog jumps.

Bang, bang, bang!

Now, given the weight of their bodies, every time they leaped and landed, immense weight slammed onto the ground, creating thunderous booms.

And as the pressure mounted, people gradually fell onto the ground, completely exhausted.

No matter how the instructor whipped them, they didn’t manage to get up.

Up ahead, only a small portion of people were continuing. Each of them was a grand cultivator, except for one person… Feng Lin.

Those freshmen who had given up lay limply on the ground, staring helplessly at the people who were still doing it. Curiosity filled their eyes.

Who would be able to last until the end?
