Ruthless Seeker

"Agile bodies can help us avoid danger. Let's start exercising now. All members will run two laps around the village! The last person will add two laps!" Liu Er said expressionlessly with his hands behind his back.

Liu Er, Gu Zhuo, and the Cui brothers took the lead and started running. The other members complained and hurried to catch up.

The village is not small. Running two laps is about 5 kilometers.

In the first lap, some people were still talking and laughing. In the second lap, most people began to pant heavily, and some people slowed down.

"Huh... those guys in front... what monsters! Huh, huh..." They found that the four people in front still did not slow down.

Gu Zhuo was in the front, Liu Wu was in the middle, and the Cui brothers followed closely behind.

For Gu Zhuo, these were all small problems, and running two more laps would be easy.

"Persist! Fight!" Liu Wu shouted in his heart.

For Liu Wu, his strong body became a burden. In fact, he was already a little exhausted, and he relied on his will to move forward.

Sweat kept dripping from his forehead, but he seemed to be getting more and more excited.

The Cui brothers were thin, but they were exhausted.

After turning a corner, the finish line appeared in front of them. Gu Zhuo started to speed up, Liu Wu shouted to catch up, and the Cui brothers gradually fell behind.

In the end, Gu Zhuo was first, Liu Wu was second, and the Cui brothers were undoubtedly tied for third.

Liu Wu collapsed directly to the ground, his chest heaving violently, his mouth wide open, greedily breathing the air, as if he wanted to suck all the oxygen around him into his lungs.

Every time he inhaled, his chest would expand violently, and then slowly contract, accompanied by heavy panting. At this moment, Liu Wu was exhausted, as if his body's strength had been completely drained.

"Cool! Hahahaha" Liu Wu shouted.

Gu Zhuo also symbolically panted a few times.

The Cui brothers panted and looked at Liu Wu as if he was looking at a lunatic.

Soon, the others also reached the finish line, and for a while, there were corpses lying on the ground.

"Very good, all of you are great! But it's not fast enough, take a break, and do strength training later!" Liu Er sat at the head of the village, holding a piece of grass in his mouth.

For strength training, Liu Er specifically tailored it to each person and made plans for each person to ensure that everyone would feel great after training.

Gu Zhuo did weighted push-ups and weighted squats, etc. Liu Wu's plan was similar to Gu Zhuo, but the weight was lower.

The Cui brothers did not need to carry weights...

Just like that, the sky gradually darkened, and Gu Zhuo, as the first runner, received 3 taels of pork as a reward.

Meat is a rare thing for them. Several people next to them kept staring at the meat, and their saliva flowed out.

Gu Zhuo ignored it, thanked Coach Liu, and turned back home.

"Aunt, I'm back!" Gu Zhuo knocked on the door.

"Little Gu is back, how was the training? Are you tired? Did anyone bully you?" Aunt opened the door and threw a bunch of questions directly.

"Aunt, I'm a man now, so you should worry less!" Gu Zhuo shook his head helplessly.

"Okay, okay, come and eat! Where did you get all this meat?" Cui Qing asked in confusion when she saw the meat in Gu Zhuo's hand.

"It's a reward for the running competition. Maybe we can eat meat every day in the future." Gu Zhuo showed a standard innocent smile again.

After dinner, Gu Zhuo returned to the room.

In order to prevent overtraining, the hunting team's training plan is one day of high-intensity training and one day of rest. As for farming? The land has long been rented to others. Now there is more time for cultivation.

In a blink of an eye, a month passed. Without obstacles, Gu Zhuo successfully took over all the family property.

Sure enough, the family property was very rich, with 5 taels of gold, 12 taels of silver and some ornaments.

You know, in this village, people usually trade with grain, and it is not easy for them to save so much money.

But the most important thing is that he found a rusty sword.

I heard that my father saved a seriously injured outsider when he was young, and that person gave his father this sword as a thank you.

At first he just thought it was just an ordinary sword. As a result, he felt the fluctuation of spiritual power when he took it in his hand.

Later, when no one was around, he injected spiritual energy into the sword. The sword body lit up slightly, the hilt vibrated slightly, and the rust gradually faded, revealing the snow-white sword body.

Gu Zhuo felt that there were 8 traces of sword Dao marks in this sword.

The book of the supernatural records that practitioners can not only store Dao in their bodies through breathing, but also store Dao in weapons through refining.

The refined weapons are called magic weapons. Magic weapons are not only powerful, but also can be imprinted with the traces of practitioners, so that only the person can control the weapon, avoiding the embarrassing situation of the weapon being robbed at a critical moment.

But this process is very tedious and difficult. The strength of the material for refining must be high, otherwise it will be destroyed because it cannot withstand the Dao seal.

The refining technique must also be clever, otherwise not a trace of Dao seal can be practiced, and in the end it can only be practiced into a pile of waste.

Therefore, the difficulty of refining a trace of Dao seal on a weapon is much higher than the difficulty of a practitioner storing Dao seal on himself.

Although Gu Zhuo wanted to learn, he had no conditions. Eating in this small mountain village is a problem, let alone high-strength materials.

The sword was an unexpected surprise, and Gu Zhuo quickly began to refine the sword.

Due to the thin spiritual energy, Gu Zhuo spent a week to refine this ownerless sword.

The sharp sword energy wrapped around the sword body, as if it had life, constantly swallowing and spitting out cold light, exuding a heart-pounding murderous aura.

This breath was like a ferocious beast, which made people shudder.

Gu Zhuo injected spiritual power again, and all the sword energy returned to the sword, and the sword became an ordinary sword again.

"From now on, you will be called Yuan," Gu Zhuo said as he looked at the shining sword.

Once the sword energy touched Gu Zhuo, it would dissipate spontaneously, so Gu Zhuo was not afraid of the sword energy hurting him. From then on, Gu Zhuo also carried this sword on his back as a weapon to lower the box.

The days of training passed like a white horse passing by, and just one month seemed to be just a blink of an eye. The hunting team ushered in their first actual combat assessment. This time, they needed to rely on the power of the team to cooperate and kill a medium-sized beast with a certain degree of aggressiveness without the help of Liu Er. And for those team members who performed well, there will be a special reward-two kilograms of fresh meat.

At the entrance of the village, a group of vigorous young people lined up neatly. They were dressed in light hunting clothes, holding a longbow and a short sword. Gu Zhuo also carried a long sword on his back. Their faces were full of confidence and expectation. Everyone knows the importance of this test, which is not only about showing their own abilities, but also about the honor of the entire hunting team. Everyone is eager to try and show their skills in this test.

"Go up the mountain!" Liu Er gave an order. This hunting test began.
