Douluo, my martial soul is a mushroom

Chapter 30: The Latest Version of the Cultivation Method, Fighting Spirit Arena

"Dean, can you give us some advice?"

Out of caution, Tang San planned to learn from Flanders first.

"What kind of training do you want to experience first?" Flanders asked.

Tang San: "I want to understand intuition."

Ning Rongrong: "I am more interested in Qi and blood cultivation."

Zhu Zhuqing: "Qi and blood."

Xiao Wu: "Me? I can do anything."

"Then let me show you how to cultivate this Qi and blood."

Flanders led the four people to the bluestone where Zhao Wuji was.

Next to the bluestone was a lawn, on which Flanders drew ten one-meter square boxes next to each other.

"Old Zhao, add 1 to 10 times the gravity here."

"Row!"

Zhao Wuji just moved his fingers slightly, and invisible gravity was applied to the frame.

"This person is...Acalanatha Zhao Wuji!" Ning Rongrong said in surprise.

"Do you know him?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.

Similar to what Dai Mubai had explained to Chi Ping, Ning Rongrong explained to Xiao Wu about Zhao Wuji's great achievements, while Zhu Zhuqing and Tang San listened quietly.

Flanders was quite happy to hear this, as it could be considered as a way to promote the strength of the academy.

"Okay. I'll test your physical fitness first. In these ten frames, you will be subjected to Teacher Zhao Wuji's third soul skill - gravity enhancement. The gravity multiples will increase from left to right, with the minimum being one time and the maximum being ten times. You will walk through each frame one by one. Don't try to be brave. You must make sure that you can move in that frame. Remember, you are not allowed to use soul power!"

The four of them looked at each other, all of them were very curious about this test.

"I'll go first."

Tang San took the lead.

Walking into the double square, Tang San suddenly felt short of breath and his hands and feet felt heavy.

——What a magical soul skill!

Tang San was amazed in his heart, and suddenly he understood Chi Ping and the others' situation. After adapting himself, he walked into the next box.

Soon, Tang San reached the seven times gravity area, and he couldn't go any further, this was his limit.

At this time, Tang San could hardly breathe!

"What a strong physique and will! But no wonder Xiaoping said that it was difficult for him to feel the Qi and blood." Flanders touched his chin and muttered to himself.

The theory of Qi and blood is a very immature theory. According to the training method that Chi Ping has mastered now, only unpolished jade can cultivate Qi and blood. The bodies of the teachers in the academy have been fixed, and no matter how much they practice, they cannot comprehend Qi and blood. And for those who have practiced special soul skills like Tang San, their bodies have already had instinctive memories, which will also interfere with the comprehension of Qi and blood.

The same is true for intuition.

Flanders pulled Tang San to the five-times gravity area.

Sudden changes in gravity can hurt the body, which is what Chi Ping has experienced before. The gravity you bear cannot increase or decrease suddenly, and you need an adaptation period.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

Sure enough, in the five-times gravity zone, Tang San's breathing gradually stabilized.

"Much better now, right? If you feel much better, then back out on your own. Remember, go one level at a time. Once you are used to it, you can back out again."

Tang San didn't quite understand, but he still followed Flanders' instructions and slowly retreated.

"Who's next?"

"I!"

Xiao Wu jumped out, but Zhu Zhuqing walked directly into the gravity area.

"You are next. Let Zhu Zhuqing test it first." Flanders said.

Zhu Zhuqing's physique is not as good as Tang San's. Due to the physical disadvantages brought by her gender, the emphasis of her martial spirit, the advantages and disadvantages of her martial arts, and various factors, she finally stopped at the 6x zone.

"Where is Dai Mubai's limit!"

After exiting the testing area, Zhu Zhuqing spoke.

Flanders thought for a moment and said, "Xiaobai's limit is 9 times gravity, second only to Xiaoping's 11 times. But Xiaobai hasn't obtained the fourth soul ring yet. Once he receives the baptism of the fourth soul ring, he will be able to reach 10 times gravity."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and stepped aside.

The next one was Xiao Wu. She reached the 5x area but did not reach the limit. Flanders did not say much.

Finally, it was Ning Rongrong. She had the worst physique and had never exercised seriously. Moreover, with Xiao Wu as a precedent, she didn't even make it into the double zone! Flanders fell silent.

"You have already done the test, and now you can officially start practicing Qi and Blood."

Flanders pointed toward the runway.

"The first and most important step in Qi and Blood training is to break through the limit, repeatedly break through the limit, squeeze the body, stimulate potential, and turn breaking through the limit into a normal state until you reach the limit of your body! What you have to do is to consume your physical strength to the limit under Zhao Wuji's gravity, and then break through the limit! So, go! By the way, if you can't hold on, leave the runway, and Teacher Zhao will cancel the gravity blessing."

"Ah? It's that simple?" Ning Rongrong couldn't believe it.

Flanders spread his hands, "How complicated do you think it is? The two powers of Qi and blood and intuition have only been discovered for two years. How profound do you think our academy can study? In addition... do you think breaking through the limit is a simple matter?"

"People who haven't experienced it don't have the right to speak. Only those who can hold out until Xiaoping and his team finish their training are qualified to speak."

Ning Rongrong had nothing to say.

The four walked onto the runway.

Flanders signaled Zhao Wuji with his eyes to apply gravity.

As an old friend for many years, Zhao Wuji understood what he meant and added 5 times, 4 times, 4 times, and 2 times the gravity to Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong respectively.

This standard is particular. If you give it directly to the limit, people will not be able to move, run or exercise. However, if the multiplier is too low, the efficiency of consuming physical energy will not be enough. After experiments, it is more appropriate to give it less than twice the limit multiplier.

In addition, Ning Rongrong's limit should be around 3 times the gravity, and the most suitable ratio should be 1 times, but in order to temper her temper, Flanders deliberately asked Zhao Wuji to double it.

As soon as they finished a lap, the four of them knew why Chi Ping, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun ignored them while they were watching.

Because I’m so tired!
One lap of the runway is nearly 300 meters. Running one lap under gravity is equivalent to the same distance for an ordinary person to swim underwater, which consumes a huge amount of physical energy!
Forget talking, I don't even have the strength to breathe!
Perhaps it was because the old students set a good example, most of the new students persisted no matter how tired they were, except for one person.

"I can not make it!"

Ning Rongrong left the track before she even finished the first lap and fell on the grass with her back to the sky.

Flanders had mixed feelings.

"Can't hold on?" He walked up to Ning Rongrong and looked down at her.

"Ah."

"Would you like to try Xiao Ao's intuition training?"

Ning Rongrong took a minute to stand up, and during that time, Flanders showed no intention of stepping forward to help.

The two men came to the middle lawn, and Flanders took a pure black cloth strip from Li Yusong.

"Intuition is the sixth sense in addition to the five senses. It is a spiritual power. When we encounter danger, we sometimes suddenly have an impulse and sense the coming of danger in advance. This impulse is intuition. How to normalize and control this impulse is the practice of intuition."

"In fact, each of us has intuition, the only difference is whether it has been developed or not. Xiaoping proposed the theory of intuition, which believes that we perceive the world through the five senses and intuition. As long as we block the extra senses, intuition will become our main sense. Then, by training in this state, we can gradually master intuition."

Flanders handed the black cloth to Ning Rongrong.

"Like him? I have to train with him too?"

Ning Rongrong took the cloth and looked at Oscar. "No." Flanders shook his head, "You will be trained by me personally."

Ning Rongrong took a deep breath and asked, "Does everyone in the academy have to participate in these two projects?"

"Of course!" Flanders nodded and pulled out a two-meter-long iron rod as thick as a thumb from somewhere.

Ning Rongrong took another deep breath and tied the cloth strips around her eyes while also blocking her ears.

"Tie it tighter with some force! Not if you can still see me and hear my voice!"

Ning Rongrong clenched her fists, then unclenched them, pulling the cloth strip tight enough to make her head hurt.

"That's it!"

Since no human voices could be heard, Ning Rongrong's voice was very loud.

Flanders finally smiled.

"If you want to hit me, do it now!" Ning Rongrong yelled, without any ladylike temperament at all.

Regular, timed attacks are of no use in training your instincts.

Chi Ping summarized this training point, and Flanders agreed with it.

So he was not in a hurry and circled around Ning Rongrong with the iron rod.

Darkness breeds fear, and fear breeds anger.

Ning Rongrong became more and more angry and raised her hand to tear off the cloth covering her eyes.

At this moment, Flanders finally made a move and hit Ning Rongrong's outstretched right hand.

This made Ning Rongrong even angrier. She took a step forward and punched in the direction where she thought Flanders was attacking, then fell flat on her face.

Anger, grievance... and murderous intent!
Ning Rongrong wished she could go home right now and ask her Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone to kill everyone in Shrek Academy!

But she didn't dare!

So she started to shout, to curse, to cry, to despair...

Flanders remained indifferent and kept preventing Ning Rongrong from tearing off the cloth on her head.

Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Dai Mubai all collapsed during training, and even Chi Ping was no exception.

That was half a month before Chi Ping developed his intuition. Nearly half a year of darkness and despair, useless efforts, and loneliness with no one optimistic about him made this strongest student in Flanders' heart collapse and cry.

But the next day, Chi Ping resumed training.

From then on, Flanders deeply realized that a person who couldn't even endure the hardship of training could not become a great soul master!

Ning Rongrong's movements quickly attracted the attention of Tang San and the other two.

Xiao Wu left the runway angrily, and Zhao Wuji began to reduce the gravity step by step. When Xiao Wu ran over to help Ning Rongrong up, the gravity had been reduced to normal.

"You are bullying me!" Xiao Wu supported Ning Rongrong and glared at Flanders.

Flanders looked at Ning Rongrong curled up in Xiao Wu's arms and said expressionlessly, "Are you scared?"

Ning Rongrong did not respond.

Flanders continued, "Don't deny it, it's normal to be afraid. Chi Ping, Mu Bai, Hong Jun, Xiao Ao, they were also afraid when they were doing intuition training, especially Chi Ping.

You know, intuition and blood were developed by Chi Ping on his own. Before developing intuition, he endured a fear of darkness far heavier than what you just felt for half a year, and the time he took off the cloth strips every day never exceeded half an hour.

Compared to him, the fear you just endured is nothing!"

“The Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda is indeed recognized as the best auxiliary martial spirit on the continent. You can possess such a spirit power at your current age. Your innate spirit power should be at level eight or nine. You are also a favored person in the sect. But in Shrek Academy, you are nothing! Whether it’s your martial spirit or your talent!”

"You're talking nonsense." Ning Rongrong finally reacted. She stepped away from Xiao Wu, stood up, her chest heaving violently.

She had always known that she was the most outstanding disciple of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. She had many brothers, but none of them could break through to the twentieth level before the age of twelve. Even her father, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's Sect Master, had said that she was the only genius in the sect who had the opportunity to transform the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Tower into the Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Tower in hundreds of years. Flanders said nothing good about her and her martial spirit, and how could she, who was so proud, accept it?

"I'm talking nonsense? Then tell me, who here are you better than?" Flanders said disdainfully, pointing at them one by one.

"Chi Ping, spirit of fluorescent mushroom, born in a civilian family, 15 years old, 41st level spirit master, independently developed two abilities of intuition and blood, as well as a set of self-created physical spirit skills, and his combat power is no less than that of the top spirit masters of the same level. He is the most outstanding student in our academy.

Dai Mubai, the top martial soul White Tiger, is a level 15 soul master at the age of 40. He is about to obtain the fourth soul ring and master the power of qi and blood.

Ma Hongjun entered school at the age of 9, reached level 12 at the age of 30, had a mutated Phoenix martial soul, and mastered the power of qi and blood.

Oscar, the martial soul sausage, entered school at the age of 12, is now 14 years old, a level 32 soul master, innate full soul power, mastered intuition, mastered six styles, and when he bursts out, he has strength, defense and speed that are no less than that of a soul master of the same level.

Tang San, spirit blue silver grass, 12 years old, level 29, mastered special spirit skills, can fight with Chi Ping. Xiao Wu, 12 years old, level 29. Zhu Zhuqing, 12 years old, level 27. The three of them can endure the hardships of Qi and blood training, even if it is intuitive training, they can definitely endure it longer than you! "

"Tell me, who can you compare with!" Flanders said coldly.

Ning Rongrong was speechless.

"Whether you want to continue or not is up to you!"

Ning Rongrong's face was pale and she stood there in a daze.

Xiao Wu wanted to comfort her, but Flanders glared at her and sent her back to the runway.

Flanders was not in a hurry and waited quietly for Ning Rongrong to make a choice.

Should I wear the cloth belt and continue training and stay in Shrek, or throw away the cloth belt and give up training and leave Shrek.

Flanders waited for Ning Rongrong's decision.

"continue!"

Ning Rongrong tied the cloth strips around herself and shouted viciously.

——It’s not hopeless.

Flanders held the iron rod and continued to train Ning Rongrong.

……

The training ends at 6 pm.

After receiving treatment from Shao Xin and having a hearty meal in the cafeteria, Flanders led everyone to the Soto City Fighting Spirit Arena before 7 o'clock.

Next is the traditional project of Shrek Academy.

In the fighting spirit arena, you cannot graduate without obtaining the gold fighting spirit badge.

It used to be the Silver Fighting Spirit Badge, but as the old foursome gradually mastered intuition and blood, the graduation requirements naturally increased.

Except for Oscar who lost a lot in the one-on-one fighting, the others in the old four-member group have already met the graduation requirements.

In the Soul Fighting Arena, Iron Souls and Bronze Souls are the main types below level 30, and Gold Souls generally appear at level 40, and that’s just a minority! The old foursome can’t find an opponent at all now!

The old quartet signed a contract with the Fighting Spirit Arena.

The fighting spirit arena arranges one one-on-one and two-on-two fighting spirits for the four-man team every month to maintain their fighting spirit levels, and pays Chi Ping and Dai Mubai two thousand gold soul coins per month, and Oscar and Ma Hongjun one thousand gold soul coins per month, on the condition that the old foursome does not actively participate in fighting spirits except for those arranged by the fighting spirit arena and disrupt the order of the fighting spirit arena.

Today is almost the time to complete the task and collect the salary.

After watching the fighting spirit of the old quartet and participating in the fighting spirit themselves, the new quartet deeply realized the value of the word "monster" in Shrek.

Ning Rongrong felt it particularly deeply!
……

At 9 o'clock in the evening, the fighting spirit ended and returned to Shrek.

Before returning to the dormitory, Tang San finally found an opportunity to hand Yu Xiaogang's letter to Flanders.

After reading the letter, Flanders decided to find Yu Xiaogang and handed over the soul hunting operation that was supposed to be led by him to Zhao Wuji.

"Have a good rest. Tomorrow, Teacher Zhao Wuji will take you to the Xingdou Great Forest to participate in Xiaobai and Hongjun's soul hunting. Today's soul hunting cannot reflect the full strength of the monsters."
