Chapter 203 His Name, Ling Feng!

Time ticked by, second after second.One after another, the trainees who had sworn to reach the finish line finally ran out of stamina and collapsed with a thud.

And with each trainee that fell, Leng Jianfeng would severely scold them, meanwhile demoralizing those who were still striving.

It had to be said that his ability to attract hatred was formidable; having only met him that day, almost everyone already saw him as a "Demon," wishing they could rise up together and slaughter the "bastard"!

By the sixtieth lap, Ouyang Jing could no longer hold on. The only reason he had made it this far was his immense willpower, and when he fell, he couldn’t even feel his legs.

At this moment, only the last ten trainees were still holding on!

Leng Jianfeng squinted his eyes, his lips curling into a slight smile, "Those who can persist over sixty laps on their first time participating in this kind of training can become seed candidates for focused cultivation."

However, his expression remained ice-cold, cursing under his breath, "You all said you’d run a hundred laps, yet you can’t even manage sixty? You guys are really the worst batch of trainees I’ve ever had!"

The scolded trainees blushed and burned with humiliation, and a few even struggled to get up, but after a few steps, they collapsed heavily again.

Now, all their hopes rested on the remaining ten trainees.

If fewer than three trainees reached the finish line under these conditions of utter exhaustion without food or drink, followed by more training, it would indeed be fatal!

Seventy laps!

Eighty laps!

Down! Down! ...

One by one, the trainees, drained of strength, collapsed on the path to the finish line. Only three remained steadfast: Ling Feng, Jiang Xiaofan, and Wang Yishan!

Qin Wanwan finally fell on her seventy-seventh lap.

Lio Yunfei also fell face-first at eighty-two laps, his mind going blank.

He had been secretly competing with Ling Feng and ended up completely drained, while Ling Feng was still going strong.

"Come on! Keep going! ..."

Those trainees who no longer had the strength to continue tightly watched Ling Feng and the others. If one more of them fell, their punishment would inevitably be unavoidable.

"Humph, humph, just three people left, huh! Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Leng Jianfeng wagged a finger, "It’s not that I didn’t give you a chance, it’s just that you all are incapable!"

"Humph, Instructor Leng, don’t underestimate them! They can definitely make it to the end!"

"Yes, they can all make it to the end, they definitely can!"

Hopeful gazes were all directed towards Ling Feng and the other two, with everyone’s hopes pinned on their perseverance.

"Bang!"

Jiang Xiaofan fell heavily to the ground, but beside him, Ling Feng reached out and pulled him up, and the three continued on!

Everyone held their breath, in the heavens and earth, it seemed like everything else had vanished, leaving only three running shadows.

Eighty-eight laps!

Eighty-nine laps!

Ninety laps!

"Thump!"

Jiang Xiaofan fell again, this time hitting the ground harder. Despite his beast-like physique, he was badly injured and couldn’t even crawl back up.

"Ugh..."

On the other side, Wang Yishan was also in trouble, clutching his stomach and vomiting violently before collapsing on the ground, his body convulsing!

"What’s going on? How is it?"

Students hurriedly gathered around, clumsily helping Jiang Xiaofan and Wang Yishan to their feet.

Leng Jianfeng leaped forward and landed beside Wang Yishan, touching his chest and forehead a few times, his face cold as he said, "Hmph, if you can’t do it, don’t push yourself to death! Everyone, back off, back off! Let him catch his breath; he won’t die!"

"Instructor Leng, you are too heartless!"

A female student couldn’t help but burst into tears. Although Wang Yishan and the others hadn’t lasted until the end, they fought for everyone. Despite falling, their perseverance moved everyone!

"Heartless? The path of Martial Arts is full of dangers at every step! If I’m soft on you today, when you leave the academy and get killed, you’ll understand what being heartless really means!"

Leng Jianfeng snorted lightly, stood up, and shouted to Ling Feng, "Kid, you’re the only one left; you don’t need to keep going! Everyone, no food or drink for three days, no rest!"

Ling Feng’s steps gradually came to a stop.

He, too, was running out of physical strength, his muscles starting to feel numb.he students all looked up at Ling Feng. This young man, compared to Jiang Xiaofan and Wang Yishan, seemed much thinner, but it was he who persisted till the end, even still striving at this moment to achieve the nearly impossible.

"Who is he?"

Many people didn’t recognize Ling Feng.

"He’s my brother; his name is Ling Feng!" Ouyang Jing’s face was filled with immense pride.

"Way to go, Ling Feng!"

"Keep it up, Brother Ling Feng!"

Shouts filled the air, incredibly sincere!

"This guy..." Qin Wanwan bit her lip, her gaze towards Ling Feng began to subtly change.

She pouted her lips and muttered quietly, "Hmph, still so annoying."

"I’ll run thirty more laps; is that okay?"

As if thinking Leng Jianfeng hadn’t understood, Ling Feng repeated himself.

His voice sounded tired and weak but extremely firm!

Firm as steel!

"Alright! I’ll give you a chance!" Leng Jianfeng stood with his hands behind his back, a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth, "If you can complete another thirty laps, everyone’s punishment will be lifted!"

"Thank you, Instructor!"

Ling Feng clenched his fists, slowly turned around, took a deep breath, and continued his stride.

Time passed, and though it was still morning when everyone had gathered, it was now sunset!

Torches were lit around the perimeter, the great fires blazing, illuminating the night sky in red.

All the students gathered together, watching the figure in the Martial Arts Arena with eyes full of immense respect. Many female students, with tears in their eyes, clenched their fists, shouting, "Keep it up, Ling Feng!"

Other students, who had recovered their strength, followed behind Ling Feng, matching his steady and forceful steps.

"This batch of students is indeed quite interesting."

Leng Jianfeng stood on the platform with his arms crossed across his chest, a slight smile forming on his face.
