Our Two-dimensional world

Chapter 43 Don't give up, don't give up

Carrying the bamboo basket on their backs, Tang San and Dai Mubai rushed out at the head of the horse.It wasn't until they started running that they realized that the punishment was really heavy.

If they could use their soul power, half a day would not be a problem for them for a distance of sixty or seventy kilometers, and they could even complete it easily.However, it is not easy to accomplish without using soul power and carrying heavy loads.

"Mubai, let's stop for a while." Tang San who was running suddenly stopped.At this time, he had only run a short distance, and his forehead was already slightly sweating.

Although both of them had consumed soul power before, they were running without using soul power at this time. In terms of physical strength, they were obviously the best.Of course, Ye Feng, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhu were not counted.

"Little San, what's the matter?" Dai Mubai also stopped, looking at Tang San with some doubts. "Ten round trips are not short, so hurry up and run."

Tang San said: "Mubai, remember? The teacher just said before we set off that we are a whole, and he asked us to complete this punishment together. You see, Rongrong and I were also punished together. Except I have to run ten In addition to this back and forth, you must also complete it at the same time. Based on my understanding of the teacher, this time he is not only going to punish us, but also let us exercise the body. The teacher told me yesterday that the body is the foundation of a soul master. I can Leapfrogging to absorb the spirit ring of the Man-faced Demon Spider has something to do with physical fitness. More importantly, this punishment is probably also a test for us by the teacher. What he wants to test is our collectiveness. We are a whole, in terms of physical strength , Maybe you and I can support, but they may not. I think we must think of some ways to see how we can let everyone complete this test together."

As the master's only disciple, Tang San obviously knew the master best.After hearing his words, Dai Mubai nodded slowly, "I'm afraid it's true, when they come up, let's discuss it first."

Soon, the people behind caught up, but to Tang San and Dai Mubai's surprise, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were among the crowd behind.

"Xiao Wu, Zhu Qing, why are you two here too? Aren't you trained by Master Zi and the others?" Tang San asked puzzled.

"Brother Feng asked us to come together, saying that we will be a whole in the future, and he wants us to run with you, but he has gone to prepare a big meal for us." Xiao Wu replied.

"This is really like Brother Feng's behavior..." Tang San said secretly.

"What about your load?"

"Brother Feng has imposed a 'heavy and light state' on us, and now the gravity on our bodies is the maximum that our group can bear, which is much heavier than the rocks on your bodies." The "heaviness and lightness" imposed on her body made her feel a lot of resentment.

"Big meal! Xiao Wu, do you mean that Ye Feng has prepared a big meal for us?" Dai Mubai said a little excitedly, Ye Feng's handicrafts are eaten once and he will never forget them. Now I heard that Ye Feng Going to prepare a big meal, I get excited just thinking about it.

"En!" Xiao Wu nodded affirmatively.

"Okay, I will strive to finish the run at noon! No, I must finish the run!" Dai Mubai said excitedly.

"Should it be said that he has ambition, or that he has no prospects..."

"Okay, let's work hard together!" After speaking, Tang San repeated his views on today's punishment.

Oscar frowned slightly, and said: "I think what Tang San said is right, the master should be testing us. Our loads are different, it should be that the master deliberately calculated the limit range that our physical strength can bear. Like Tang San and Dai The situation of the boss should be able to be completed within the limit tolerance, and there is even some physical strength remaining. Like the fat man, he should have just reached the limit. Naturally, there are also those who exceed the limit tolerance range. Only when everyone works together can it be completed. I'm afraid I'm the only one who bears the extreme weight. And Rong Rong."

At the end, he couldn't help showing a wry smile. After running only two kilometers, he already felt that the bamboo basket on his back was getting heavier and heavier, his forehead was sweating, and there was still such a long distance behind. He thought to himself that he would definitely not be able to persist .

Fatty Ma Hongjun said carelessly: "Why don't we cheat. Let's secretly eat some of Xiao Ao's recovery sausage, are we afraid of lack of physical strength?"

"Cheating?" Oscar glared at Fatty angrily. He is a smart man and would never do anything stupid. "Fatty, I just want to ask you, are you sure that the master didn't let other teachers supervise us? What if we cheated?" Being discovered, I am afraid that it is not as simple as the current punishment. Moreover, the master must have a deep meaning in punishing us like this, and it will only be good for us. Now we must find a way to save energy as much as possible."

Tang San suddenly said: "Although the teacher told us to run with loads and not use spirit power, the total load of the seven of us is so much, as long as we can carry these loads to complete the punishment, it will be fine. Oscar, give me your stone Bar."

Oscar froze for a moment, then smiled, "Good brother. But it's not necessary now. I think it's better than this. From now on, the seven of us will run at the slowest uniform speed, so that everyone can gather together and run at a uniform speed. It is also the most energy-saving. When someone can't hold on anymore, we can help each other adjust the weight, so that we can save energy as much as possible. What do you think?"

Ning Rongrong laughed at the side: "Xiao Ao, I didn't realize that, you are quite smart."

Oscar had a natural expression on his face, "Don't you know that I was called the clever little prince when I was a child? What is that?"

Dai Mubai was the oldest among the crowd, showing the leading role that the boss should have, "Stop talking nonsense. Talking will waste energy, let's run. Just do as Xiao Ao said."

At the moment, the seven resumed their long-distance running journey.

Undoubtedly, among the seven, Oscar and Ning Rongrong, who are auxiliary system soul masters, were naturally the weakest in physical strength, and everyone ran at their speed.Moving forward at a constant speed, heading in the direction of Soto City.

The first round trip ran the whole distance at this constant speed.

After really running, everyone gradually felt the pressure brought by the weight.If it's just ordinary running, even if you don't use your soul power, this round trip of about six kilometers is not a load for them.The transformation of the body by soul power makes them have physical abilities far beyond ordinary people, even auxiliary system soul masters like Oscar and Ning Rongrong are no exception.

With the load, the body obviously became uncomfortable. Ning Rongrong and Oscar were already sweating profusely after going back and forth one by one, and the others also showed a little fatigue.

Ning Rongrong is undoubtedly the weakest in physical strength among the crowd. Although Oscar is also an auxiliary system soul master, he has broken through level [-] after all, and his body has the bonuses of the third soul ring in various attributes, and his state is better than that of Ning Rongrong. Rong is much better.

Tang San and Dai Mubai's weight was a fifteen kilogram stone, Xiao Wu's weight was about seventy kilograms, Zhu Zhuqing's weight was about fifty kilograms, Ma Hongjun's weight was ten kilograms, Ning Rongrong's Although Oscar and Oscar only weighed five kilograms, they felt as if they were carrying a huge mountain on their backs. Their bodies were getting heavier and heavier, so they could only grit their teeth and maintain a constant speed.

The gate of the academy was in sight. To everyone's surprise, the master and Ye Feng were standing at the gate of the academy watching them finish. As for Icarus, he was invisible by distorting the light, so no one except Ye Feng really noticed her.

Run back and forth for the first time.Next to Master and Ye Feng, there was a table with a large bucket on it.

"Everyone drink some water before continuing." The master's words have always been concise.

The water in the bucket is warm and slightly salty, as if salt was added.Under the supervision of the master, everyone was only allowed to drink a glass of warm water, and immediately urged them to embark on the road of punishment again.

"Come on, if you manage to come back before noon, there will be a big meal waiting for you." Ye Feng encouraged them.

With the passage of time, the big fireball in the air has gradually moved closer to the center, and the temperature it brings has gradually increased.The people who drank the salt water got some added strength, Tang San and Dai Mubai were fine, but Oscar and Ning Rongrong clearly felt that they had regained some strength.

Seeing the backs of the students gradually going away, the master stood on the ground with no expression on his face, but when he saw that the seven of them came back together, his eyes clearly showed some satisfaction.

Carrying the big bucket, he walked towards the academy.At this time, he is not only a teacher who teaches the students, but also an elder who cares about them.What he wants to do is not abuse the students, but let them get real exercise.

The second round trip, the third round trip, the fourth round trip...

Every time everyone returned to the academy, they would drink salt water prepared by the master at a suitable temperature.Warm water is easy to absorb, and the salt supplements the overdraft of physical strength caused by perspiration.Even Ning Rongrong and Oscar felt like they had miraculously insisted on running four round trips at a constant speed, without any pause in the middle except for drinking water.

However, when the fifth round trip started, the speed of Oscar and Ning Rongrong had obviously slowed down, the scene in front of them had already started to blur, and their legs were as heavy as lead.The bamboo basket behind it is more like a mountain to bring this gravity.

At a constant speed, the physical strength of the others can still be maintained. Although everyone is sweating profusely at this time, their spirits are still very good.

"Little Ao, give me your stone." Tang San said to Oscar.

Dai Mubai also extended his hand to Ning Rongrong at the same time.

This time, Oscar and Ning Rongrong didn't refuse, they knew very well that their physical strength was a bit exhausted, and if this continues, they may not be able to persist this round trip.

Tang San and Dai Mubai's load directly changed from fifteen kilograms to twenty kilograms, and the bamboo basket turned into two stones.Five kilograms doesn't look heavy, but in the case of a lot of physical exertion, this simple five kilograms has already brought an obvious burden to the two of them.Although the uniform speed can still be maintained, the breathing of the two of them has become obviously rough.

On the contrary, after losing five kilograms of pressure, Oscar and Ning Rongrong instantly felt a sense of detachment, as if their entire bodies were so light that they could float. More, not only restored the original uniform speed, but even felt a little more comfortable.

The fifth, sixth, seventh, and three round trips ended under such circumstances.When the eighth round trip started, nearly two hours had passed.At this time the sun has deviated from the center.It's past noon.

Everyone's breathing became difficult, and their lungs seemed to be burning like fire. Every time they took a step, a clear watermark would be left on the ground, which was the sweat flowing from their bodies.Since the last round trip, the salt water they replenished at the gate of the college has become two cups.And there is a short break.The master did not urge them, and still prepared warm salt water for them after each trip.

"I can't, I can't." It was Ma Hongjun who spoke, staggered, almost fell to the ground, the fat man stopped, put his hands on his knees, panting heavily.His fat face had turned pale, and it seemed that every breath was extremely difficult.

Everyone stopped one after another. At this moment, everyone was speechless.Looking at each other, they found that each partner's clothes had been soaked with sweat.The most impressive one is Zhu Zhuqing. Although she is the youngest among the crowd, she is the best-developed of the three girls. The wet clothes cling to her body, outlining amazing curves.

It's a pity that no one has the energy to pay attention to this beautiful scenery now, and everyone is standing still and panting.

Originally Tang San and Dai Mubai shouldn't be so tired, but they have Ning Rongrong and Oscar's burden on them, and the burden is heavier than others.

After panting for nearly 5 minutes, everyone gradually recovered.

Ma Hongjun couldn't help but said: "Anyway, we won't be able to eat lunch anymore, why don't we slow down a bit. I can't do it anymore, if I keep running, I'm afraid I'm going to die of exhaustion."

Dai Mubai frowned and said: "Slow? Didn't you notice that the temperature of the salt water that Master prepared for us is the same every time? But our speed has been decreasing. Obviously, Master calculated our physical strength. Running back is too slow , I’m afraid there will be additional punishment. Although the master is a little stricter on our training, he is also for our own good. We must persist. Fatty, give me your weight.”

Ma Hongjun looked at Dai Mubai with some surprise, "Boss Dai, are you alright?"

Dai Mubai straightened his chest, "Fatty, remember, a man can't say no. Bring it."

The journey started again, this time, everyone slowed down again, although Dai Mubai didn't say a word, it could be clearly seen that his steps became much heavier, and the sweat left by each step was the most among the seven people.The weight that the fat man brought him was ten kilograms.When his physical strength was already overdrawn, he increased the load to [-] kilograms, which had a huge impact on his physical exertion.

At the end of the eighth round trip, when the master provided them with warm salt water, he deliberately glanced at the bamboo baskets behind everyone, but said nothing.

The ninth round trip continued, although there was no weight, Oscar and Ning Rongrong's physical strength had reached the limit, Ma Hongjun recovered a little bit, Xiao Wu was still able to persevere, but Zhu Zhuqing's footsteps became slower and slower.On the contrary, Tang San seemed to grit his teeth and survived his limit, and he didn't seem to be overdrawn.

Seeing that Soto City was already in sight, the ninth round trip was about halfway through.Suddenly, Dai Mubai staggered and fell forward.

If in the past, relying on Dai Mubai's strength, he could stand up straight, but now his physical strength is really exhausted.

Tang San followed Dai Mubai all the time, seeing that he was about to fall, he hurriedly stepped forward, holding his shoulder.

The two pupils in Dai Mubai's evil eyes had merged into one, this situation Tang San had seen before when they were in danger, this should be a sign of the limit.

Dai Mubai didn't stand firm by himself, his whole body was leaning on Tang San's shoulders, his chest was violently heaving like a bellows, his whole body seemed to be close to dehydration.

"Boss Dai, how are you?" Everyone hurriedly gathered around, asking with concern.

Tang San didn't say anything, but directly took out the biggest fifteen kilogram stone in Dai Mubai's bamboo basket, and put it in his own bamboo basket.

"Little San, no need, I can persevere." Dai Mubai forced himself to stand up straight, his eyes revealed a resolute light, and looked at Tang San, "You can't even bear the huge pain caused by the Man Faced Demon Spider spirit ring If I can support it, why can’t I continue to support it. I can. Brothers, let’s persevere, no one can be left behind.”

While speaking, Dai Mubai forcibly took out his fifteen kilogram stone from Tang San's bamboo basket, and returned to his own bamboo basket.

"Boss Dai. Give me back mine." Ma Hongjun said suddenly.At this time, all the punishments were over, and there was still a round-trip distance, everyone knew that it was impossible for Dai Mubai to carry a thirty-kilogram load.

Ning Rongrong suddenly took a step forward, "And mine, I'm much better now, I can carry it by myself."

Tang San said: "Forget about Rong Rong, fat man, you hold on for a while."

Ma Hongjun's own weight returned to the back, reducing Dai Mubai's weight by ten kilograms. Under Tang San's repeated requests, Ning Rongrong's five kilograms of stones also moved from Dai Mubai's bamboo basket to his bamboo basket. , the load was increased to 25 kg.

The journey continued, every step was so difficult, Dai Mubai survived with his tenacious perseverance even though he lost fifteen kilograms of weight.

On the ninth round trip, they survived with the mutual support of everyone. Although they were still running at this time, in fact, they were not much faster than walking.Three full hours have passed since the punishment started.

They drank the salt water in large gulps, and the seven of them seemed to be fished out of the water. The master still stood beside him without saying a word.

Dai Mubai cheered up, "Brothers, there is one last trip, everyone must persevere."

Oscar suddenly said: "Little San, return my weight to me. There is only one back and forth left, and I can support it."

Tang San froze for a moment, he suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something more in Oscar's eyes.But looking at his trembling legs, Tang San shook his head, "No, I can do it."

Oscar walked to Tang San's side, dripping with sweat, but his gaze became very firm at this moment, "Treat me as a brother, and give it back to me. I can do it."

Ning Rongrong was already gasping for breath, her small face was pale, but when Oscar took out the five kilograms of stones from Tang San's bamboo basket, she still couldn't help saying: "Little, little... oh..., you... …today…really like a…man….”

Oscar was too tired to laugh at this moment, so he could only puff out his chest and act like it was a matter of course.

At this time, the Shrek Seven Monsters were exhausted physically, but none of them relaxed. Sometimes, the difference between a genius and a mediocre lies in whether the willpower is firm or not.Survive the limit once, and everything will change.

The tenth round trip of punishment finally embarked on the journey. This time, everyone couldn't run any longer, so they could barely move their own steps and move forward step by step.

Is it not enough?No, yes, we can all do it.Carrying the stones behind them and taking heavy steps, they moved towards the final goal step by step.

After walking a kilometer, Oscar almost fainted, the stone behind him returned to Tang San's bamboo basket.

After walking three kilometers, Ning Rongrong passed out, Tang San gave Dai Mubai all his stones, and carried Ning Rongrong on his back.

After returning two kilometers, Zhu Zhuqing passed out, Xiao Wu reluctantly picked her up.

Less than 500 meters away from the finish line, Tang San was already hanging in the bamboo basket on his chest, containing Zhu Zhuqing's burden before and the fifteen kilograms burden he took from Dai Mubai, with Oscar on his back.

Dai Mubai carried Zhu Zhuqing on his back.

Xiao Wu carried Ning Rongrong on her back.

Ma Hongjun carried a [-]kg load.

They moved almost step by step towards the finish line.

"Let go, let me down..." Ning Rongrong's weak voice sounded from behind Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu staggered and nearly fell to the ground, and Ning Rongrong also slipped off her back.The two supported each other and walked forward step by step.

Oscar also woke up from the coma, struggled to slip off Tang San's back, and walked forward with Tang San's support.

Zhu Zhuqing hadn't woken up yet. Although she didn't say anything, she was more overdrawn than Oscar and Ning Rongrong before. Although Ma Hongjun was fat, his physical strength was much better than Zhu Zhuqing's. Dai Mubai helped him take another With the weight of distance, the situation is naturally much better.

Of course, at this time Ma Hongjun had also reached his limit state, and gathered beside Tang San and Oscar, the three supported each other and walked forward step by step.

If the one being punished was a single person, with the physical strength of Ning Rongrong and Oscar, he might not be able to hold on long ago.

But it was seven people who were punished. With mutual support and help, the attachments in their hearts had already been aroused.

The scene in front of them is already blurred, and the existence of the end point can be vaguely seen. Their bodies can only continue to move forward with the support of willpower at this time.

Tang San was carrying heavy stones, supporting Ma Hongjun and Oscar with both hands, helping them support part of their weight.Although he couldn't use his soul power, under the condition of his physical limit, the strong characteristic of Xuantian Kungfu has been gradually brought into play, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to persist until now.

Dai Mubai's waist was already bent a little under the pressure, his evil eyes were a little red, every step he took seemed to be pressed by a thousand weights of gravity.

400 meters..., 300 meters..., 200 meters..., 100 meters...

Grandmaster's stiff face appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Even Grandmaster couldn't help being moved when he saw them supporting each other and moving forward together.Ye Feng's face was full of smiles, and his eyes were full of encouragement.

For the last round trip, they walked for an entire hour.However, they finally insisted on coming back.

puff, puff...

Seven people fell to the ground almost one after another, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Ma Hongjun passed out almost at the same time.

Dai Mubai fell beside Zhu Zhuqing, panting heavily, his whole body trembling slightly.

The scorpion braid on Xiao Wu's head has become messy, sweat is dripping, and her red lips are buzzing.

The next moment, the two who had endured the most during the entire "punishment" fell to the ground at the same time, following in the footsteps of the other companions.

The Shrek Seven Monsters, seven of them were punished, seven of them also lay down at this time.

Grandmaster watched them fall one by one, but never moved.It wasn't until Tang San and Dai Mubai passed out at the same time that a faint smile appeared on his face, "Don't abandon, don't give up, very good. Very good."

Ye Feng nodded in agreement.

Flender quietly appeared beside the master with Zao Wou-ki and several other teachers, "Master, you two are also very good. You are ruthless enough."

The master ignored the dissatisfaction in Flender's words, and waved his hand, "Hurry up and take them there."

Including Master and Ye Feng, all the teachers hurriedly unloaded the bamboo baskets on the children, carried them towards the academy.
