Shrek Academy itself is a selection process, and your teaching can only be considered supplementary. If hard work were enough, what would be the point of having geniuses?
Su Yu actually disdained Shrek's philosophy. With sufficient resources and high-quality students, if they still couldn't develop, they were truly hopeless.
In contrast, the Sun Moon Empire took a completely different path with Soul Guidance Technology. This innovation was truly astonishing. At the same time, they also had the foundation of Soul Masters. For a nation, the development of Soul Masters had reached its peak; the next step was godhood.
Looking around, how many Soul Masters could become gods? Later events provided strong evidence that developing Soul Guidance Technology was an inevitable trend.
Currently, if Shrek didn't rely on its own powerful strength and millennia of accumulated foundation, it really wouldn't be able to withstand the Sun Moon Empire's attack.
And if Yuhao hadn't become a god later like it should be, the Sun Moon Empire would have unified the world!
Therefore, Su Yu didn't quite agree with Shrek Academy's philosophy.
Zhou Yi remained stern. "Anyone who's been in a fight since registration started, stand up."
Su Yu stood up without hesitation. Seeing Su Yu, Wang Dong snorted and stood up as well, not to be outdone.
As usual, a few disobedient troublemakers came to question Zhou Yi.
But in the end, Zhou Yi bullied them and made them run laps. Before leaving, Huo Yuhao glanced at Su Yu with some guilt.
It seems that the author of this franchise, has a particular fondness for fights at the start of the school year. From the rabbit and grass's tryst in the bushes in Douluo Continent I, to the ground counterattack in Douluo Continent II, to the tragic scene of Xie Xie being sent flying by a single punch in Douluo Continent III…
it seems this has become an essential tradition for protagonists?
Su Yu, not wanting to listen to Zhou Yi's nagging, grabbed Wang Dong and ran out, not forgetting to turn back and say, "Teacher Zhou, I know you're trying to stall for time. It's good for a man to have guts, but you can't trick us..."
"What a clever little guy. I just wonder if you can still be so stubborn in the future..."
Watching Su Yu and Wang Dong's departing figures, Zhou Yi gave Su Yu a meaningful look, a sly smile appearing on her lips.
In the original story, Zhou Yi at least chatted with them for a while compare the canon event; Yuhao (a character in the novel) was never this exhausted
Seeing Wang Dong's sullen expression, Su Yu said, "What are you expecting? Expecting to be nagged and nagged, then exhausting yourself running a hundred laps? Can't you use your brain?"
"Su Yu, you..."
"What 'you'? Shut up..."
Looking at the long-distance running group, Su Yu knew that things were really going to get interesting. In the original story, one lap was 300 meters, so 100 laps would be 30,000 meters.
Was this a 30-kilometer cross-country race?
However, compared to the original story, Yuhao's physical condition wasn't good, but he could still manage to be 12 laps behind in terms of time. In other words, Su Yu wasn't worried.
The bug in the Mysterious Heaven Skill was also triggered when Yuhao was under pressure, but Su Yu didn't know if he could trigger it. But bugs are like that; once you know the method, you can trigger them a few times. Those who know, know. Hahaha...
Without further ado, running is a compulsory course for every citizen and student on Blue Star. Who hasn't run? Anyone who has made up their mind to exercise naturally knows how to control their breathing.
One hundred and twenty minutes had passed. Less than ten minutes were lost due to Zhou Yi, leaving one hundred and ten minutes. One lap required covering over 270 meters per minute.
For Su Yu, who was already at level fifteen and had cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Technique, this was indeed not difficult.
As expected, Su Yu used an even faster pace, quickly pushing himself to a state of extreme fatigue. The human body itself contains endless mysteries, or perhaps, humanity as a high-level intelligent life form is itself a miracle
Strengthening the physical body requires constantly breaking limits, and the bug in the Mysterious Heaven Technique might be that Yuhao had broken his own limits.
In that situation, even Wang Dong couldn't persevere; a little reasoning would explain why.
Su Yu's speed was even faster than Wang Dong's, completely disregarding the loss of stamina. Half an hour later, Su Yu was far ahead, even having lapped seven or eight more times than them.
However, it was precisely this reckless running that pushed Su Yu's stamina to its limit.
Gradually, his speed slowed down, and Wang Dong caught up and overtook him.
One lap, two laps…
Wang Dong kept catching up with Su Yu, and after more than ten minutes, Wang Dong had overtaken Su Yu, even surpassing him by half a lap.
"What's the use of running fast? With your strength, so what if you only have a hundred-year soul ring? How could you possibly be my match?" Seeing Su Yu panting, Wang Dong felt a sense of satisfaction.
"So what? You still lost to me."
Su Yu ignored Wang Dong, watching as Wang Dong was about to complete the requirement of one hundred laps.
The protagonist is the protagonist. Yuhao was even said to be protected by Wang Dong in the canon event, while I was mocked and got nothing. Is there no justice in this world?
Nearly half the time had passed, and Zhou Yi had designated the finish line. Wang Dong was still the first to complete one hundred laps.
"Looks like the bug-exploiting failed. I guess the pressure wasn't enough. I'll try it with the iron armor next time. I'll succeed after a few more tries."
At level fifteen, Su Yu's physical foundation was naturally better than Huo Yuhao's weak body. Even though he had used up too much energy earlier, he still broke through his limit once later.
After enduring the extreme fatigue and pain, once the limit was broken, the exhilarating feeling that followed was exceptionally pleasant.
Although the ranking wasn't ideal, it was still in the upper echelons, twentieth place.
There was still half an hour left, and Huo Yuhao was still some distance behind, but Su Yu knew there was enough time.
With twenty minutes remaining, Su Yu stood up and said, "Those who haven't finished, hurry up! Don't think you can cheat in front of a six-ring Soul Emperor! If you don't want to be expelled, finish while you still have time."
To gain more opportunities in this class, to attract Zhou Yi's attention, and to secure more resources, he had to do this.
Hearing this, Zhou Yi was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected someone to remind everyone, even if it might lead to punishment.
"These little guys who fight are quite interesting."
It has to be said that Su Yu's words had some effect; some people conscientiously left the rest area at the finish line and started running one after another.
Very good, the goal was achieved.
Time was up, and this time no one was eliminated. After all, even with Huo Yuhao's level 11 strength, the weakest one of the rest in the original story, he could barely complete the test given enough time. If these properly enrolled students couldn't finish, they really shouldn't have come to Shrek Academy; they should just go home and herd cattle!
"Alright, you've passed the test today. You should thank Su Yu, otherwise at least a tenth of you would have been expelled. Go back to your dorms to change clothes, then go to class. I'll give you fifteen minutes." After saying that, Zhou Yi turned and went back to the teaching building.
This time, no one dared to challenge Zhou Yi's authority, and they all rushed back to their dorms.
"That old woman is really ruthless, but why did you remind those people? What does their elimination have to do with you?"
Wang Dong complained, but he was still very puzzled by Su Yu's sudden reminder.
Seeing Wang Dong's puzzled look, Su Yu said, "Why are you asking so many questions?"
"You, hmph..." Wang Dong snorted and didn't press the matter further.
"You go first, I'll go first. I still remember my five rules," Su Yu said, standing at the dormitory door.
Seeing Su Yu's sudden outburst, Wang Dong hesitated for a moment before saying, "You go first, but don't peek at me later. If I catch you, I'll kill you."
"We're both men, why would I peek at you? What are you thinking about at such a young age?"
