Douluo Dalu: Start with a Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgement

Chapter 35 Willpower

Zhou Yi pointed to the iron chains in front of her, "These are iron clothes, specially used to improve physical fitness. One piece for each of you. After you put it on, start running around the square. From now on, you will run until the bell. It ends when it rings. You can use soul power, but you cannot use soul skills. You will be ranked according to the number of laps run. The last one will be expelled from the freshman class."

Ji Lin frowned. He was not afraid of the last-place elimination system, but Huo Yuhao was in danger because he had the lowest cultivation level among all the people in the field.

"I hope he can impress Zhou Yi, the old lady pretending to be weird, just like in the original novel. Otherwise, he will have to say goodbye to his roommate today."

Ji Lin mourned in silence for a moment.

"I want to emphasize one point again. In my class, people are not eliminated only during the assessment, but at any time. Today, ninety-one people will become ninety, starting now."

As she spoke, Zhou Yi raised her toes, and an iron suit made entirely of thick iron chains appeared in front of Ji Lin. Ji Lin reached out to take it and put it on himself.

Ji Lin put on the iron suit, and it felt like it weighed at least 50 kilograms! When the students heard that the last place would be eliminated, they dared not neglect it and ran up to put on the iron suits. The male students were slightly better, but most of the female students were horrified after putting on the heavy iron suits.

Ji Lin also discovered that the iron armors of him and Wang Qiuer were slightly heavier, weighing about fifty kilograms, while the armors of other students including Wang Donger were about thirty kilograms. Is this the special treatment for the monitor and deputy monitor?
However, Ji Lin and Wang Qiuer can fully bear this weight.

Zhou Yi said coldly: "I know that many of you want to tell me that this is unfair, because there is a natural difference between boys and girls, and the physical fitness of weapon soul masters, beast soul masters, and combat soul masters is also different. But what I want to tell you is that except for Ji Lin and Wang Qiuer, who have higher cultivation and heavier iron armor, everyone else is treated equally. Think about it, if you are on the battlefield, will the enemy not kill you just because you are a woman or because you are a weapon soul master? Start now. Run laps."

No matter how much the students cursed Zhou Yi in their hearts, they did not dare to speak out in resistance. Led by Ji Lin, they all rushed onto the track at the edge of the square and ran with their heavy iron armor on their backs.

No one wanted to be eliminated, so right from the start, the students' running spirit was completely different from that in the morning.

Ji Lin and Wang Qiuer took the lead and ran in the front. Whether in terms of martial spirit or soul power, both of them were the best in the group of students. Although the iron armor on their bodies was heavier, their speed did not decrease at all.

Wang Dong'er followed closely behind. The strong-willed girl had just wanted to suggest wearing an iron armor of the same weight as Ji Lin and the others, but after feeling the weight of the iron armor on her body, she decided not to do so. She didn't want to be fired because of a momentary comparison.

She believed that if she had dared to ask to change the iron armor, the old woman Zhou Yi would have changed it for her without saying a word.

After a few laps, as expected, Huo Yuhao came in last place.

Ji Lin and the others had already surpassed Huo Yuhao by one lap when they passed by him.

Ji Lin reminded quietly: "Pay attention to your breathing rhythm, practice your Xuantian Gong, and keep running until the end. Don't give up."

Zhou Yi stood expressionlessly in the square watching the students running. No one knew what she was thinking. As a Soul Emperor, she also heard Ji Lin's reminder to Huo Yuhao and looked at Ji Lin in surprise.

After more than a dozen laps, except for Ji Lin and Wang Qiuer, the speed of everyone else, including Wang Donger, slowed down, and Huo Yuhao fell behind by several laps.
Drops of sweat began to wet the surface of the track. When the time was more than half an hour, a weak female student fell to the ground with a thud, struggling to get up, but couldn't do it.

Ji Lin helped her up when he passed by and comforted her to hold on, but the female student refused to run anymore and sat on the ground without moving.

Ji Lin had no choice but to let her go and continue running. After the first one, there was the second one. Perhaps because Huo Yuhao was at the bottom, the students tried their best to persevere, but in the end their willpower was not very strong.

Running with a heavy iron suit on their backs was indeed a huge burden, especially when everyone ran at full speed at the beginning, which quickly exhausted their soul power. And it was really difficult for them at their age to only rely on their bodies to bear the weight of the iron suit.

When the time reached an hour, at least half of the students had fallen to the ground. Zhou Yi stood there, expressionless, and did not urge them to continue.

Huo Yuhao was about to give up. Seeing how shaky he was, Ji Lin was afraid that he had reached his limit. However, he had persisted long enough and was no longer at the bottom in terms of the number of laps.

Suddenly Ji Lin discovered that Huo Yuhao's mental state suddenly improved. He knew that Huo Yuhao had broken through the limit of Xuantian Gong under the extreme state, reaching a state that even Tang Shenwang had not reached. It can be said that Xuantian Gong, which had not changed for 10,000 years, had evolved in Huo Yuhao. It must be said that this was an irony. The decline of the Tang Sect was not without reason.

In ten thousand years, even pigs could fly to the sky, but no one in the Tang Sect had improved the Xuantian Gong.

Around Shrek Square, more and more students fell down, and even the students who followed Ji Lin and Wang Qiuer began to gradually lose their strength. The sound of iron armor hitting the ground could be heard from time to time.

An hour and a half had passed, and the bell for the end of get out of class was getting closer. There were only eleven students left running in the outer circle of Shrek Square. And Huo Yuhao, who had been at the bottom of the class from the beginning, was one of them.

Zhou Yi had been paying attention to Huo Yuhao the whole time. When an hour had passed, she was already surprised. According to her calculations of Huo Yuhao's physical and spiritual strength, he must have reached his limit. However, he persisted. Although he had some advantages by running evenly, his cultivation and physical condition were there!

Can a person's willpower really be so strong? And he's still so young.

"Plop, plop..." Two more students fell down. Their fall was like a domino effect. Several students fell down one after another.

In the end, only four people were still running. Five minutes later, Wang Dong'er stopped and collapsed on the ground.

She has reached her limit.

In the end, only Ji Lin, Wang Qiuer and Huo Yuhao were left.

Although Ji Lin and Wang Qiuer were also very tired, they had not reached their limit and they could still accept this amount of exercise.

As for Huo Yuhao, even though he was staggering and his speed was not much faster than walking, he still persisted after most of the people with higher cultivation than him had fallen. This made many students look at him in surprise.

Even Wang Dong'er changed her opinion of him and no longer looked down on him.

Looking at the three people who were still holding on, especially Huo Yuhao, the mockery in the eyes of the others had disappeared. They climbed up again and stared at the three people in a daze. Finally, Wang Donger caught up with the three people and started running. Seeing this, the others also followed suit.

The entire freshman class gritted their teeth, lifted their already stiff legs, and reluctantly moved onto the track again.
