Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 22: The Unchanging Laps

After announcing the class monitor, Zhou Yi continued, "These are iron vests, specially used to improve physical fitness. Each of you gets one. Put it on and run laps around the plaza. From now until the end of the bell, you can use soul power, but you cannot use soul skills. Ranking will be based on the number of laps run. The last place will be expelled. Start now!" After Zhou Yi finished speaking, she looked at Huo Yuhao and raised her chin towards the iron vests beside him, signaling Huo Yuhao to go first.

Coming to the pile of iron chains, Huo Yuhao casually picked a relatively clean iron vest and draped it over his body. The so-called iron vest was actually made of connected iron chains, shaped like a vest. Wearing it was just a bit uncomfortable, but nothing else. The weight was about thirty pounds, which was nothing for ordinary people, let alone soul masters.

With someone taking the lead, the other students also stepped forward to put on the iron vests. The weight of thirty pounds was still within the students' tolerance. However, not everyone was without pressure. After all, they were just eleven or twelve-year-old children, and some girls with lower soul power couldn't help but frown after feeling the weight of the iron vests.

At this time, Zhou Yi spoke again: "I know you must be thinking that there is a natural gap between boys and girls, and they shouldn't be treated the same, right? But, I want to tell you that there are no weak groups in my class. Either do as I say, or come and reason with me!"

As her voice fell, six soul rings of yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, and black appeared. The terrifying soul pressure poured down on everyone unbridled. The corners of the students' mouths twitched in unison, and they had to admire the teacher's rascality.

And so, under Zhou Yi's strong pressure, the students ran with weights in the scorching sun. Because this time only the training time was specified, and there was no requirement for how many laps to run, the students did not go all out at the beginning, but maintained a uniform speed.

As the class monitor, Huo Yuhao did not set an example, and was still as low-key as he was in the morning, mixed in with the crowd. The other students rolled their eyes. This class monitor really likes to play the pig to eat the tiger. Thus, the situation in the morning happened again. At the very front of the team was Wang Dong, who took the lead, followed closely by several students with good strength. Behind them was the main force where Huo Yuhao was. Wang Dong and the others were a little faster than the main force, but not too much.

Another half an hour passed, and there were about ten minutes left before the end of class. After a long period of running, coupled with the hot weather and the weight on their bodies, the students fell one by one, and then struggled to get up again and run forward. So far, no student has given up, and they are all gritting their teeth and persevering in order not to be eliminated, even if they are already overdrafting their physical strength. Even people like Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were sweating profusely at this moment. Who can take it lightly?

Huo Yuhao felt bitter in his heart. Don't look at them being exhausted like dogs, but the effect of cultivation is only a drop in the bucket. This is simply a waste of time. Helplessly, the acting has to be a complete set, and what should be done still has to be done. Letting the God King see his friendliness to Shrek and Tang Sect is what he must do.

At this moment, a familiar figure came into Huo Yuhao's view. The person was slender and thin, with light brown hair tied into a simple ponytail.

She was Huo Yuhao's deskmate, Dong Xinyi. At this moment, Dong Xinyi was soaked in sweat, her face was pale, her physical strength and soul power were exhausted, and even her spirit had begun to trance. Her steps staggered, and she was about to fall. At this critical moment, her right arm was grabbed, preventing her from falling forward. Someone helped her. Dong Xinyi turned her head, slowed down a little, and took out a small notebook with the words: "Thank you, class monitor, don't worry about me, you go first!" Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's first echelon were already a few laps apart. If he brought her along, it would seriously drag down his speed. Wouldn't the gap be even bigger then? Where would his prestige as the class monitor be?

"It's okay, anyway, I'm not the last one, the others don't matter. Also, I feel weird with you like this, just call me by my name. And I guess I won't be able to sit in the position of class monitor for long!" Huo Yuhao said, not caring about the position of class monitor at all.

Dong Xinyi: "..." You are the class monitor appointed by the teacher, don't you want to be so unenterprising, and just want to not be the last one. She even suspected that if Zhou Yi hadn't stated that the last one would be expelled, Huo Yuhao would have been the last one.

In the last five minutes, there was no scene of competition as imagined. The students looked at a place in the square from time to time. There was a girl sitting there, she was named Ran Xi, because of extreme overdraft, she was on the verge of coma, let alone continue running. She was sitting there, her face was pale, and there were complex expressions such as unwillingness, helplessness, and resentment in her eyes. The unwillingness and helplessness were because she had finally succeeded in entering the dream academy, but she never thought that she would be expelled so quickly. The resentment was because of Zhou Yi. If it weren't for Zhou Yi, she would never have left Shrek so quickly. Maybe when the academy assessed, she would have been able to make enough progress, so she would not be eliminated. So she hated Zhou Yi, her great future was ruined by this old woman's casual remark.
