Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Without the activation of the Mysterious Heaven Method, all he could rely on was his own physical strength. Tang San appeared frail, but to a great extent, it was because he deliberately controlled his body\'s development with the Mysterious Heaven Method during cultivation to keep himself inconspicuous in Wind Wolf Town.

However, after arriving at Redemption Academy, his safety was guaranteed. He no longer intended to suppress his physical growth. Especially in Jiali City with Pretty Girl around! He knew that his wife, reincarnated, could not possibly have any memories of her previous life, so if he wanted to win his beauty back in this life, he had to pursue her all over again. This was no easy feat. Especially since Pretty Girl was so beautiful, and he was so ordinary now. He\'d better develop well first; at least to look a bit more attractive.

Du Bai led Tang San forward, following the other senior brothers and sisters as they entered the woods behind Redemption Academy.

The mountain at the back wasn\'t too steep, but it was still hard to proceed with the added weight. Control of his own physical development notwithstanding, Tang San was naturally strong. As a former Godking, how could he not understand the importance of physical strength? No matter how high your cultivation base is, you still need a body to bear it. The body is like a container; the larger and sturdier the container, the more it can hold.

The Mysterious Heaven Method\'s refinement of the body was also very powerful, so although he looked frail, his strength was by no means small.

The senior brothers and sisters walking ahead had heavier loads than them but still appeared agile and briskly made their way into the mountains behind the school.

This mountain was about a thousand meters high, and the climb from Redemption Academy was nearly seven hundred meters up. Fortunately, the terrain was fairly gentle and not too difficult to ascend.

The last three would miss lunch, and they needed to return before noon. That was the requirement for the physical training class.

"Apart from this kind of outdoor exercise, are there any other methods for physical training classes?" Tang San asked Du Bai next to him.

Du Bai nodded but did not speak.

"What other methods are there?" Tang San was still somewhat curious.

Du Bai gave a wry smile and said, "Don\'t talk, conserve your energy. You\'ll find it hard to cope in a bit."

Tang San smiled slightly and said, "Alright, let\'s go."

By the time they crossed the first mountain, a slight sweat had appeared on Du Bai\'s forehead. However, he was surprised to find that Tang San, who was participating in the physical training for the first time, seemed to show no change.

At this point, the differences in physical fitness had not yet become apparent, which was also related to the varying weights carried. Thus, everyone basically moved forward together.

Descending was no easier than ascending due to the weight they carried. The path downhill was steeper, requiring careful control of their bodies and strength, lest there be a risk of slipping.

Although Tang San had not seen Mu Yunyu, he could vaguely feel that this teacher must be nearby, following them.

And the focus was likely on him, the newcomer.

After descending the first mountain and proceeding along the mountain valley, the road was relatively flat. The thorns along the path had been mostly flattened, evidently a route they often took.

Those at the front began to speed up; amidst the burdened pace, panting could now be heard within the group.

Tang San and Du Bai were still at the end of the line, Du Bai clenching his teeth and maintaining an even pace to minimize his energy consumption as much as possible.

Tang San followed beside him, the forty kilograms of weight not amounting to much for him at this point.

When they began to cross the second mountain, that\'s when the gap began to show. Some senior brothers and sisters at the front started to pick up the pace, and Du Bai\'s forehead began to show more sweat.

Tang San did not accelerate but simply stayed beside him, silently keeping pace.

Whenever Du Bai glanced at him, he found that although Tang San was keeping the same speed, he clearly showed no signs of fatigue, just a slight sweat on his forehead.

When they reached the peak of the second mountain, Du Bai\'s breathing had become noticeably unsteady.

"If you\'re up to it, you go ahead first," Du Bai said to Tang San.

But Tang San shook his head, "I can barely keep up with you. How about you?"

Du Bai replied with a wry smile, "Every physical training class feels like death to me! Fortunately, I don\'t really need to participate in the combat classes. I\'ll rest up this afternoon. However, if you keep following me, you won\'t get any dinner when we return."

Tang San said, "That won\'t happen, let\'s keep our spirits up. Give some of your weights to me."

Du Bai immediately shook his head and said, "No need, no need, I can manage on my own. Though Teacher Yu\'s demands on us are high, it\'s all for our own good. Everybody knows this. No matter how tough it gets, we shouldn\'t cut corners."

Tang San looked at him with some surprise, feeling a new respect for his junior fellow disciple.

When they first met, Du Bai seemed a bit erratic; unexpectedly, he was quite persistent when it came to training and studying.

"Then let\'s keep our spirits up together."

As they continued on their journey, Du Bai\'s physical exhaustion was evident, while Tang San still managed to endure. The figures ahead of them gradually disappeared as they fell behind.

A hundred kilometers through the mountains is completely different from a hundred kilometers on flat ground, especially when their cultivation bases are sealed.

By the time they reached the fourth mountain, Du Bai\'s energy had declined drastically.

"You go on ahead, I\'ll be honest with you, I always get back by evening. If you have the stamina, go ahead, I\'ll tell you the way," Du Bai said somewhat helplessly.

Tang San thought for a moment and said, "I\'ll take you with me."

Du Bai still shook his head, "No, I want to rely on my own strength."

"Don\'t worry about him, otherwise, it won\'t serve the purpose of building your physical fitness," a pleasant voice sounded at that moment.

Before Tang San and Du Bai, Mu Yunyu had arrived in front of them without making a sound.

Teacher Yu flicked her hand, and two weights flew towards Tang San.

Tang San instinctively caught them, and they turned out to be two weights.

"Here are two more weights for you, continue on by yourself. This is the map," she said, as she tossed over a rolled-up leather map.

Tang San silently inserted the two weights on him, then looked at Du Bai, who waved at him.

"See you back at the academy," Tang San said as he bowed to Mu Yunyu and then promptly got up and climbed the mountain swiftly.

Watching his quickening pace, Du Bai opened his mouth and couldn\'t help saying, "Everyone seems to have a similar build; how does he have so much stamina?"

Mu Yunyu said impatiently, "Because his foundation is better than yours. Get up quickly. Unless you want the whip," she said, while somehow producing a whip from nowhere, swinging it in the air and creating a sharp "snap."

"Please no, Teacher Yu, I\'m going!" Du Bai struggled to his feet and continued to trudge onward.

No longer following Du Bai, Tang San sped up, carrying sixty kilograms of weight, which wasn\'t too much of a burden for him. Since he had been moving at a slower speed with Du Bai initially, his energy wasn\'t overly depleted. With the chains off, he strode forward with great strides.

As his energy was consumed, his body began to heat up, breathing became labored. But with the blood circulating in his veins, the stimulation to his body and the mental strain from the energy depletion gave him a strange sense of pleasure, akin to a vigorous release.

His speed grew even faster, occasionally glancing at the map, checking the sky, determining his position before moving on at an accelerated pace.

However, due to the time lost while with Du Bai, he never caught sight of the others ahead. Not until he was nearing the destination did he finally see Cheng Zicheng.
