After the war beasts entered the training state, the summoners also had to start brutal physical training.
It was the same 10,000 meters, but this time Coach Zhou added a new difficulty.
For those who could run the whole course but were slow, Coach Zhou set a time. If they exceeded the time, they had to run three more laps. For those who could easily run the whole course, such as Xiao Yao, Zhou Hongyu and others, Coach Zhou's arrangement was also very simple.
Add weight!
Therefore, for this 10,000 meters, Xiao Yao carried a 50-jin military backpack. He didn't open it to see what was in it, and he didn't know what was in it.
But I always felt that the back was stabbing, as if I was carrying a dozen bricks.
Huh~huh~
Xiao Yao and Xu Xingliang walked side by side, running at a constant speed.
"How do you feel? Is it heavy?"
Xu Xingliang asked while running.
"It's okay, not too heavy, but it's a bit uncomfortable."
Xiao Yao tightened the straps with both hands to keep the backpack close to his body to avoid shaking too much.
"Haha, but this time I can finally keep up with you." Xu Xingliang said with a smile.
After a week of training, his physical fitness has improved a lot. Now, even without Xiao Yao's assistance, he can run 10,000 meters within the specified time.
Suddenly, Xu Xingliang felt a sinking in his pocket. He reached out and touched a small bottle and a test tube.
"What is this...?"
Xu Xingliang turned his head and looked at Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao lowered his voice and said, "This is the bottle of black oak concentrate. There is still half a bottle left. You apply it on the claws and teeth of Pi Dan. I think it will not be a problem to upgrade to Black Iron Level 2."
This half bottle of concentrate is very rare and cannot be bought outside. It can only increase 30 experience points on Xiao Ke at most, but this experience point is nothing to Xiao Yao. He can just go to the training ground and spend some money to find a few sparring partners.
But it is different when used on Xu Xingliang's Pi Dan.
Xu Xingliang does not have Xiao Yao's golden finger, so he can only let Pi Dan train, fight, and recuperate step by step, and improve little by little.
With this concentrate, Xiao Yao believes that it should not be a problem for Pi Dan to upgrade to Black Iron Level 2.
After all, Xiao Ke's current 40 experience points can be replaced by Pi Dan's 70 experience points.
70 experience points are enough for Xiao Ke to upgrade from Black Iron Level 1 with zero experience points to Black Iron Level 2.
Xu Xingliang and himself have been close friends for many years, so Xiao Yao will naturally not be stingy with the resources in his hands.
"Thank you."
Xu Xingliang squeezed the bottle in his pocket and said nothing more. With the relationship between the two, there is no need to say many things, as long as they are clear in their hearts.
Xiao Yao smiled, adjusted his breathing and continued to move forward.
After adding weight, he did feel sore in his calves and heavy breathing, which was an experience he did not have last week.
However, this feeling also stimulated the energy in his body. The endurance improvement brought by the war beast's feeding back was fully demonstrated in this long-distance run.
Although his body was very tired at the end of the run, he was still among the top five in the end.
It was inevitable that everyone exclaimed that he was abnormal.
After a simple rest at noon, the daily combat training began in the afternoon.
However, this combat training did not last long. After an hour and a half, all the students were called to the playground by Coach Zhou again.
At some point, a simple battle platform was set up on the playground.
"We will start the actual combat training of war beasts this afternoon."
Coach Zhou said in a deep voice: "War beasts that do not undergo actual combat training will always be flowers in a greenhouse. They will only die in vain in the wild. From today on, all of you will draw lots for actual combat training in pairs."
Hearing Coach Zhou's words, everyone's emotions were immediately mobilized.
Who is willing to train against a piece of wood or iron plate every day?
Actual combat, hurry up and fight, I'm going to start beating people!
Of course, there are also many people who are secretly worried.
If you draw Xiao Shen or Zhou Hongyu, the big guy, you will be beaten to death.
I don't want to lose this person.
"Oli Ge, it's finally time for actual combat! My big knife is thirsty!"
Liu Lei waved his fist and said excitedly.
His Lightning Falcon performed relatively ordinary in attack training, but it was different in actual combat.
Air combat vs. land combat, the advantage is simply too great.
If you can touch me, I will let you hehehe.
At this moment, Liu Lei had imagined himself killing everyone.
If Xiao Zi performed well, maybe he could challenge Xiao Yao and Zhou Hongyu.
Liu Lei secretly glanced at the two.
As the only two summoners in the class with Black Iron Level 2 war beasts, Xiao Yao and Zhou Hongyu were naturally the enemies that everyone least wanted to draw.
However, Liu Lei believed that his Lightning Falcon had a flying advantage, and the opponent had no means to attack Xiao Zi at all, so there might be a chance to defeat the two.
"Xiao Yao."
Xu Xingliang gently touched Xiao Yao's arm.
Xiao Yao turned around and saw Xu Xingliang blinking at him.
"Success?" Xiao Yao asked in a low voice.
Xu Xingliang smiled and said, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission!"
"That's good."
Xiao Yao smiled slightly, knowing that his best friend had given the concentrate to Pi Dan during lunch break.
The result was just as he thought, Pi Dan successfully upgraded to Black Iron Level 2, becoming the third Black Iron Level 2 war beast in the class.
In this actual combat, Xu Xingliang was destined to become one of the most dazzling people in the class.
"Okay, be quiet for a moment."
Coach Zhou clapped his hands, and the scene suddenly quieted down.
"Before the draw, I have arranged a special session."
"Just like many activities have an opening ceremony, we also have an opening battle this time, because the attack department and the defense department have the most people, you should each send a representative to conduct the opening battle."
As soon as these words came out, the students of the attack department immediately focused their attention on Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao, who had just received the reward today, naturally deserved to be the representative of the attack department.
On the other hand, the defense department also quickly selected a representative-Zhou Hongyu.
This is the only person in the class who has the hope of defeating Xiao Shen.
Although Xiao Shen's war beast's strength has improved rapidly, reaching Black Iron Level 2 in just one week, Zhou Hongyu, who has a Black Iron Level 2 war beast as soon as he awakens, is obviously more favored by everyone.
After all, whether it is the size or strength of the war beast, the Iron Skin Rhino is firmly suppressed by the Black Wind Wolf, and the Iron Skin Rhino's defense is also very good. It is hard to say whether the Black Wind Wolf can break through the defense.
"Come on, Xiao Shen!"
"Hongyu will win!"
As the two walked to the stage, students from the attack and defense departments immediately cheered for the representatives of both sides.
This is a battle between spears and shields, and also a battle of ideas between the two sides.
Whether the attack department is stronger or the defense department is more stable, this battle will show the outcome.
Soon, Xiao Yao and Zhou Hongyu stood opposite each other.
Xiao Yao was still very interested in Zhou Hongyu. After all, he had a Black Iron Level 2 war beast just after awakening, which showed that his qualifications were indeed better than others.
Zhou Hongyu's mood was even more complicated.
Before awakening, he was just a student with middle-level grades. He naturally worshipped Xiao Yao, the god of learning who had been ranked first for many years, but after awakening, everyone was on the same level, and even his starting point was higher than Xiao Yao.
This also gave him a self-confidence and a mentality of not admitting defeat.
Maybe today I can pull Xiao Shen off the altar.
Zhou Hongyu thought silently.
