The person who spoke was a student-athlete from Grade 12 Class 6. His name was Cheng Zhiye. He had a tall and skinny frame and was very good at the 3-kilometre race. Ever since he entered high school, the school had no problem extending their winning streak for the 3-kilometre race. He even broke the town’s High School Sports Meet record last year. Apparently, Yan Jing Sports University had already made an exception and allowed his enrolment.
Even though he looked down on Ling Yun, he was still proud that he did not bully Ling Yun on a regular basis. This was because he felt that bullying a pig was no better than being one himself.
Cheng Zhiye’s attitude towards Ling Yun was somewhat similar to Sha Guoxing’s. They would usually just mock or tease him a little to brighten up their boring high school lives.
“I’m here to look for Mr. Ma, where is he?” Ling Yun asked the question directly while paying no attention to him.
“You’re here for Mr. Ma? Am I hearing this correctly? Back then when he had PE lessons you would always hide the moment you saw him. Now you’re taking the initiative to look for him? Did you catch a cold last night when you were half-naked and the high fever fried your brain?” Cheng Zhiye was shocked, he even put his hand to Ling Yun’s forehead to check if he really had a fever.
Ling Yun furrowed his eyebrows slightly as he calmly swatted Cheng Zhiye’s hand away and asked, “I’m here to borrow a sandbag.”
“Borrowing a sandbag?” Cheng Zhiye was getting more confused. Did Ling Yun get addicted to the power he felt while he beat up his hostel mates last night, thus the urge to switch to boxing? However, he just rolled his eyes and chuckled, “Hey, why do you have to find Mr. Ma to get a sandbag? I’ll get one for you right now!”
“Wang Li, come with me to the sports equipment room to get him a sandbag!”
This piqued Cheng Zhiye’s interest and he wanted to see what Ling Yun was up to.
Around 9:30 am, right when the second lesson of the day was about to end, a loud exclamation came from the corridor downstairs, closely followed by various noises.
The Grade 12 students were on all the fourth floor and the Grade 11 students were on the third floor. The serenity of the Grade 12 classrooms was quickly stirred by the screams that came from downstairs.
“Gosh! Come and see this! That idiot lifted the entire sandbag up!”, cried a female student with a high pitch.
This immediately caught the attention of all the students from Grade 12 Class 6 who were initially paying attention in class!
In the entirety of Qingshui High, apart from the disgrace of their class, Ling Yun, no one else in school was called an “idiot”!
“D*mn, are you kidding me? He’s carrying the sandbag as he runs! I’m telling you guys, my brother did boxing in the past and that sandbag weighs at least 25kg!”
“I’m guessing he really doesn’t want to live anymore. Apart from trying to rape our campus belle last night, he also beat up his hostel mates after he got back. Now he’s skipping classes to run laps with a sandbag like a psycho?!”
Cao Shanshan from Grade 12 Class 6 had good hearing, not a single word escaped her ear. She immediately raised her eyebrows and widened her eyes in anger the moment she heard that!
Zhang Ling sneaked a peek at Cao Shanshan before she shifted her hopeful gaze towards the view outside the window. She really wanted to know what on earth was going on out there.
On the school field.
Cheng Zhiye was stunned by the scene before him, his jaw dropped so wide that one could probably fit an entire egg in there. He muttered to himself, “I’ll be d*mned, you can’t be serious, right? This guy doesn’t make any sense…”
He was not the only one! All the student-athletes from different classes around him had to stop whatever they were doing as they stared at Ling Yun who was running his laps while carrying a sandbag in complete shock!
The entire school field was in shock! The soccer players stopped kicking, the stationary soccer ball was left sitting alone on the grass; the basketball players also stopped whatever they were doing. Everyone fixed their gaze on the fat guy who was carrying the sandbag as if it was a flag ceremony. Their gaze shifted along with his silhouette as he moved about slowly.
That silhouette had a heavy sandbag over his right shoulder which he stabilized with his right hand. He was not running at a fast pace, but every step he took was steady and firm. Step-by-step, he ran along the field according to some kind of rhythm.
The fats on Ling Yun’s body trembled violently with every step he took, and his fats were burning off at an alarming rate. With eyes filled with determination, his faith was slowly increasing as well!
“A strong person, how does one truly become a strong person? Even if it is a genius, one still has to train insanely hard to find ways to make up for his weaknesses!”
“The moment I start running, only I will stop myself. Apart from that, whatever difficulties that come my way will not stop me!”
“Only then can I keep pushing my body’s limits, only then can I quickly reach the peak of physique tempering!”
The mockery and judgmental looks from others, even the loud exclamations and awe, all of those meant nothing to Ling Yun. He only had one goal, and that was to become stronger.
However, it was really tiring. He barely made it to tens of meters before he was already completely drenched in sweat and gasping for air. His feet felt heavier with every step he took.
It would have been difficult enough for a fat person who weighed over 100kg to run laps without any additional weight on him. Naturally, it wouldn’t be easy for Ling Yun, who was carrying an extra 25kg!
However, he was aware of his potential. This body had been cleansed and renewed by the immortal spiritual energy from Tribulation Stage. It no longer had any hidden illnesses, not to mention the huge amount of spiritual energy which he absorbed from the Shichiyou herb last night!
As for the Yang Heel Meridian that was nearly 70% healed, it was already circulating without much of a problem. Even if it was a normal human being, there had to be some kind of defect like that in the body, right?
Even though he was tired, it would not hinder him! His goal was to completely deplete the spiritual energy that he had absorbed from the Shichiyou herb last night through whatever methods he could think of!
Only then could he go back to where he found the Shichiyou herb tonight to continue utilizing his talent to absorb the spiritual energy emitted from the Shichiyou herb!
“If only I could continuously absorb the spiritual energy from all things between Heaven and Earth. It would then take me a month instead of two months to reach the peak of the Physique Tempering Stage!”
Unfortunately, this horrible place did not have much spiritual energy to spare.
Thus, he was left with the dumbest method, which was to go step-by-step through all the extreme physical training to break through the body’s shackles and improve each aspect of his physical body.
The second lesson of the morning ended and the students had a 20 minutes break before the next lesson began.
The Grade 12 students were already extremely impatient. The moment the teacher announced that class was dismissed, they even forgot to let the teacher leave the classroom first out of respect. All of them flocked out of class immediately, scrambling to see what on earth was happening on the school field!
Grade 12 Class 6 had the most intense response out of all because they knew that the person running laps while carrying a sandbag on the school field was definitely their classmate, Ling Yun.
Chai Hanlin sat at the front of the class due to his short stature. With all the strength he could muster, he dashed out of class onto the corridor the moment class was dismissed!
“God! It’s really Ling Yun!” Chai Hanlin was shell-shocked!
“My goodness, it really is Ling Yun! This guy must be crazy!” The classmates who followed closely were also exclaiming loudly.
“Oh my god! Did the sun rise from the west today? Am I just dreaming?” Even the girls were shocked!
“It’s either I’ve turned crazy, or the world has gone crazy! Why would that pig perform such a shocking feat!”
Cao Shanshan was trying her best to maintain her composure as she wanted to settle things with Ling Yun. However, she had no choice since Ling Yun did not show up for class. Now that she had caught wind of that idiot acting all crazy carrying that sandbag, she, too, wanted to join her friends and go see how he was embarrassing himself. However, the moment she lifted her well-rounded butt cheeks off the chair and turned her tiny waist around, she plopped back down into her seat, looking disheartened.
“Shanshan, it’s really that idiot, let’s go have a look…” Zhang Ling looked around the entire class and noticed it was just the two of them left. She then encouraged her to go and take a look at what was going on outside.
“You can go if you want to go, I’m not going to watch that idiot embarrass himself!” Cao Shanshan was swayed as she really wanted to go see how Ling Yun was humiliating himself. She wanted to watch him slip and fall, but she still wanted to appear stubborn.
“Aren’t you interested in what triggered Ling Yun to undergo such a tremendous change? Aren’t you interested in seeing how long this idiot, who brought you so much suffering, can last?” Zhang Ling did not believe that Cao Shanshan could hold out for much longer.
“Alright my fine lady Miss Cao, take it as you’re accompanying me!” Zhang Ling noticed that she had successfully convinced Cao Shanshan, thus, she quickly dragged her out of her seat towards the classroom door.
“Almost half a lap! That’s 200 meters! And he’s still running!” These words pierced through the air the moment both of them exited the classroom!
“That idiot is going to stop soon, look at his waist! Even though his speed remains unchanged, his waist can barely stay straight!”, stated a student from Grade 12 Class 6 after some close observation.
By the time Cao Shanshan and Zhang Ling found a spot, they both saw a silhouette moving robotically and unsteadily. They were truly shocked!
Cao Shanshan felt her heart twitch violently!
With such a weak and overweight body, he still chose to run while carrying such a heavy sandbag. It had even been for quite a while already. What on earth could have triggered this idiot so much to make him undergo such a drastic change?!
A mere boy carrying a sandbag while running laps on the field caused a major uproar in the entire Qingshui High. There were those who mocked, those who laughed, and those who were watching for fun. They were all waiting to see when Ling Yun was going to slip and fall face flat on the ground.
There was only one person, that one person who stood quietly in the corridor, one could even say leaning on the corridor railing. Her gaze was fixed on the bulky shadow on the field who was still persevering even though he was completely exhausted. No matter how hard she tried to hold back, tears still streamed down her face.
She was a beautiful girl. Her beauty was completely out of this world! Unlike anything or anyone from the mortal world, she was dreamy and subtle! She stood around 1.7 meters in height, compared to the other girls along the corridor, she definitely stood out from the crowd. Needless to mention her slim and perfect figure, her delicate and beautiful features, along with her fair and smooth skin on her neck that was beyond seductive. In comparison to Cao Shanshan’s beauty that was like a flashy peony, hers was like a secluded orchid in the deep mountains, untainted by the world.
With an attitude made in heaven and a unique vibe, she was the epitome of beauty in the human world.
Wearing a simple red ribbon around her ponytail, her ravishing features such as her crystal clear skin, slender neck and exquisite jawline were overshadowed, due to her round and brilliant eyes that were blurred by her tears. Anyone would take pity the moment they saw her.
Ning Lingyu was from Grade 12 Class 1, and she was probably the first to dash out of her class. The moment she saw the fatty who was running laps on the school field while carrying a sandbag as if he was insane, her tears came streaming out immediately!
“Ling Yun, my brother! I knew you wouldn’t let me down! I knew you could do it… Mom was right, you wouldn’t let us down, you really didn’t let us down! Brother!”
