Chapter 36 Yu Xiao Gang's Punishment!

After beating everyone, I was allowed to rest and recover my Spirit Power while he had the others fight against each other.

The first people to fight were Mu Bai against Oscar and Fatty, and Tang San against Xiao Wu.

Mu Bai's fight was lackluster as Fatty held Mu Bai back by shooting Phoenix Fire Wire. Mu Bai kept wasting Spirit Power to charge through Fatty's attacks and soon got close.

Oscar threw Fatty a flight Mushroom before eating one himself. They continued to fly above where Mu Bai could reach and Fatty shot continuous Phoenix Fire Wire's while Oscar gave him Recovery Tofu.

Oscar began to lose his ability to fly and floated to the ground, as its effects weaken on the user. But Mu Bai had already run out of Spirit Power, causing the match to stop.

Tang San's fight wasn't much better, Xiao Wu was able to distract Tang San and used her Charm ability on him, stunning him briefly. Xiao Wu was surprised that Tang San was caught but instantly leapt at him.

Tang San threw his second Spider Web Restraint at her, but she faced it calmly. Her Third Spirit Ability shone as she teleported behind Tang San, before she gripped his head with her calves as she used her Waist Bow.

Tang San woke up from his sluggishness as he looked at Xiao Wu before instantly releasing another Spider Web Restraint on her, causing it to tie the both of them as they pressed closely together.

Xiao Wu's calves tightly locked Tang San's neck while her back was upward, close to her legs. Her butt was stuck to Tang San's lower body as they fell down and pressed together even tighter, Tang San was lying face down on Xiao Wu making them looks especially promiscuous.

Yu Xiao Gang chose to interrupt at this time, "You can all stop." Tang San withdrew the Spider Web Restraint as he helped Xiao Wu up. Both of them were blushing like a red apple as they couldn't look each other in the eye.

Yu Xiao Gang ignored their embarrassment as he said, "What are your thoughts of your fights?"

Mu Bai spoke up first as he said, "If I was at full Spirit Power, they wouldn't have been able to beat me!" He could accept being defeated by me, but Fatty and Oscar don't stand a chance against him normally.

Yu Xiao Gang glanced at him indifferently, "So, will you only try to kill your enemy when your Spirit Power is at its full capacity?"

Mu Bai is startled and doesn't know how to respond, "You know about Oscar's Abilities, so why did you give Ma Hongjun the chance to eat the mushroom. If you stopped him at the start, the win should have been yours." Yu Xiao Gang continued.

He also began to berate the rest of the people that fought just now. Fatty and Oscar did not communicate or keep track of how their partner was doing, which almost lead to Oscar getting beaten.

Tang San should have won the battle as a Control System Spirit Master, yet he was distracted and didn't use his full strength against Xiao Wu.

Yu Xiao Gang had an unsightly look on his face, "You guys have become drunk on your title as monstrous geniuses, these mistakes are unforgivable, so you must be punished! All of you must run from the Academy to SouTuo City and back, supervise each other, you are not allowed to use Spirit Power. You are allowed to eat once you complete 10 laps. Tang San, your mistake was the most serious, so you must run 12 laps."

Tang San ran out quickly, while the rest followed soon after. Rong Rong looked at Yu Xiao Gang and asked, "What do we do, grandmaster?"

Yu Xiao Gang turned around as he indifferently said, "You guys are also going to be running laps, there are weights prepared at the academy entrance, you must each carry one on your back as you run. Remember, you are a team, if one person doesn't complete the punishment, then nobody can eat."

Qing'er runs off while Rong Rong is speechless. I pat her butt as I drag Little Jing along as I jog to the entrance, while Little Yue and Feng Feng follow behind me.

Yu Xiao Gang suddenly speaks out, "Chen Wulin, you have to do the laps while walking on your hands, and you are not allowed to change your weights."

Little Jing is looking up at me with tears in her eyes, "Daddy~ Do I have to do laps~? I don't want to run~!"

I grip her hand as I continue to pull her along, "Of course, everyone else is doing it, so you must also do it. Yu Xiao Gang knows what he is doing, so it will be beneficial for you to follow what he says."

Little Jing pouts her lips but keeps moving. Rong Rong catches up with us as we reach the entrance of the Academy.

There are a couple baskets with our names on it, and a couple weights inside. Little Yue and Feng Feng have 15-kilogram weights while Rong Rong has 10-kilograms, Little Jing only has 5-kilograms. My basket has 50 kilograms, but it doesn't make much of a difference since my stamina is effectively infinite.

The weights might not seem like much right now, but the built-up exhaustion from carrying extra weights while running the 10 laps will push them to their limits. This is also why Yu Xiao Gang didn't want me to help them out, because it will make it too easy.

I get into a handstand before asking Little Yue to help me put the weights on. She puts the straps over my legs as it begins to weigh me down. It is difficult to keep my balance when there is an extra 50 kilograms changing my centre of balance constantly.

I noticed that my shirt kept falling down and blocking my field of view while restricting my arms, so I had to take it off. Now, my upper body is exposed as the girls take a good look at my muscles.

My muscles are not big like a body builder's, but instead looks like it was made for the sole purpose of battle. Each of my muscles are clearly defined as my body moves, causing them to look like iron plates working like machinery.

I walk on my hands with some difficulty, the girls are keeping pace with me. I don't tell them to go ahead since I think Tang San and the others will be waiting for us anyway.

Since I have greater stamina, I am able to train tirelessly, and Yu Xiao Gang probably knows that, so he is probably allowing me to learn how to use my hands as another pivotal limb to make my movements even more unpredictable.

Also, by increasing my hand, wrist and finger strength, I will be able to control my Staff techniques with more control and power. Yu Xiao Gang is really surprising, to be able to think of these kinds of training programs.

Although I am also smart, it is only my comprehension ability, but I am not wise like Yu Xiao Gang and am not able to teach the others on anything other than pointing out flaws.

After about 15 minutes we reach the others who were waiting for us. They were initially confused why we were taking so long, but after seeing me walking on my hands, they understood.

"Sorry we took so long, I am still getting used to walking on my hands…" I apologise to them while trying to look up at them, Qing'er and Xiao Wu are a little distracted, but I ignore them as Tang San and Mu Bai look at me.

"It's alright, we were discussing how to complete this task. We will run at the speed of the slowest person, so we are able to save as much strength as possible while staying together. If someone is unable to persevere, we will help them change the weights, but I'm guessing Master didn't allow you to help us, right?"

Tang San explains the plan and accurately guesses Yu Xiao Gang's orders, I nod my head while upside down and say, "That's right, if you guys give me your weights, then it will become too easy. The purpose of this punishment is to push you guys to the extreme and stimulate your body's potential."

We don't spend much time waiting before we all started jogging again, if what I am doing could be called jogging. I am the slowest right now, but I am rapidly gaining proficiency in moving, so I am speeding up quite fast.

We soon complete the first lap, it was only a 6-kilometre trip, so it didn't take us too long, but the others have begun to start breathing heavily. Right now, Oscar has become the slowest one once I became used to running on my hands and thanks to my tireless body.

I have been training Qing'er and Rong Rong for a month, so they have gotten much better stamina than before, although I haven't had them do extreme training like this.

Little Jing although small, is still a beast type Spirit Master over level 30, so her body has been nourished by her Spirit Energy, making her stronger than the food type Oscar.

When we reached the academy gate, Yu Xiao Gang was waiting there with a couple cups of water.

"Drink some water, then keep going." As usual, he keeps his words short and sharp. We all took a cup of warm salt water as it helped recover a bit of strength before heading off on our second lap.

We went at the same pace as we completed the second, third and fourth lap. On the third lap, I felt like I had already strengthened my hands enough, so I started walking while using all my fingers to hold myself up.

At first, I thought that they might snap, but I could persevere thanks to my Phoenix Regeneration and was able to strengthen them quickly.

Each time we finished a lap, Yu Xiao Gang would be waiting with a cup of water, exactly the same temperature, no matter the time and heat of day.

We began the fifth lap and the others were quickly slowing down. The weights on their back were feeling like mountains as Oscar couldn't last anymore.

Tang San took the weights from Oscar while Mu Bai wanted to take the weights from Little Jing, but I stopped him since I could see that she could go on.

This caused Little Jing to complain to me while hitting my legs, but I was able to coerce her to continue with the promise of cooking lots of food for her when she finishes.

Once Oscar's weight was taken away, he was able to run at a much faster pace as he felt extremely light with the load off his back.

In the sixth lap, Little Jing and Rong Rong were unable to hold on as Feng Feng took Little Jing's weights while Mu Bai took Rong Rong's. Now, Mu Bai was carrying 25-kilograms on his back, half of what I am carrying.

I have also begun reducing the number of fingers I use, causing them to be strengthened even more, now I could probably poke holes in the tough ground using just my finger strength.

The seventh lap was concluded without any troubles, but at the beginning of the first, everyone was having troubles breathing. Noon has just passed by, so it is at peak temperature. Their lungs are hot, as if set on fire, while they are all drenched in sweat.

Right now, Fatty was unable to go on as he stopped with both hands on his knees, supporting him up. His fat face is pale as he desperately tries to inhale the oxygen.

Everyone also stopped and looked around, our bodies were drenched in sweat as our clothes stuck to our bodies tightly.

The sight was especially beautiful for me, as I could see the clothes clinging to the bodies of the girls, showing off their curves. Little Jing and Xiao Wu weren't very impressive, but Little Yue, Qing'er and Feng Feng looked amazing.

I tried not to look at Qing'er so much since she isn't my woman, but I didn't hold back my gaze on my girls.

Out of my girls, Little Yue has the most developed body, looking around 16-years-old with stunning curves and large breasts. Feng Feng is the next and she looks like a cute girl from next door, except for her explosive temper that destroys the image, she has nice slender curves that are only a bit smaller than Qing'er.

Rong Rong has just started developing so she has a bit of curves on her body while Little Jing is still a little airport runway, though I won't ever say this to her otherwise she will cry.

Thanks to the Spirit Mutation of Little Yue's and Feng Feng's Phoenix's, their stamina is much better than Fatty's, and they have been doing physical exercise for a long time, while Fatty only has sex and eats a lot.

Little Yue and Mu Bai shared Fatty's weight's as we continued after a small break, I have reduced my fingers to just one on each hand, as I swap them occasionally, to train each of my fingers.

My Dexterity has increased greatly thanks to this training, and I feel like my hands have become iron pincers that can tear any metal apart. My core feels steady like a rock, never moving an inch out of place as I move quickly on two fingers. Although my overall strength has not increased greatly, the power my arms can exert have more than doubled.

We finished the eighth lap and come up to the ninth as everyone is at their extremes, even without weights, Oscar and Rong Rong are finding it difficult to continue.

Little Yue and Feng Feng are sweating heavily as they carry the weights, even their natural regeneration was unable to keep up with this exercise.

In the ninth lap, Mu Bai was unable to carry everyone's weight as he almost fell over but was held up by Tang San and my foot.

Everyone crowded around him as they asked if he was alright. He has been carrying the most weights and helping everyone out, so it is natural that he is exhausted.

Under Fatty's insistence, he took his weights back from Mu Bai as Little Jing did the same. She would always walk by my side as she held onto my pants, using it to wipe her sweat, but ending up drenching herself in my sweat.

They were able to complete the ninth lap under mutual assistance, three hours have already passed since the beginning of the punishment. Yu Xiao Gang was waiting for us at the entrance as usual, we gulped down the water before beginning on the final lap.

They all gave each other encouragement as they walked together, Oscar too back his weights as we continued to walk.

After one kilometre, Oscar's weights went back to Tang San when he almost fainted.

After two kilometres, Little Jing gave her weights to Mu Bai, while Rong Rong had to lean on my legs for support.

After three kilometres Oscar and Rong Rong fainted, causing Tang San to carry Oscar, while Feng Feng carried Rong Rong, all of her weights went to Fatty and Mu Bai.

Tang San had some troubles, so he had to give some rocks to Little Yue.

Qing'er silently fainted while carrying her weights, shocking everyone at her perseverance, Mu Bai was barely able to carry her, while her weights were distributed among Xiao Wu, and Fatty.

Oscar and Rong Rong woke up as they struggled to walk again with the help of the others.

Each step felt like it could be their last, and it was heavy, like there were a million tonnes attached to them.

Soon we were able to see Yu Xiao Gang's face as we slowly walked in front of him. Once they made it, without saying any words, they all fell down unconscious, only Tang San, Mu Bai and I were standing.

I get out of my handstand as I look at Yu Xiao Gang. He is looking at the others with admiration, as their determination and teamwork moved him.

Tang San turned around as he began to take a couple steps, Xiao Wu and Mu Bai noticed him and tried to accompany him, but they staggered on the ground. Tang San was also unable to last as the three of them passed out.

Yu Xiao Gang nods his head with appreciation, "Never Abandoning, never giving up. Good, good!"

I give a little laugh, "They are pretty determined people. Let's hurry and help them back to the academy."

I take the weights off the girls as I stack them on my shoulders before carrying them back to the academy.

The other teachers are shocked to see that I have so much stamina left since they don't know of my abilities. They are also probably shocked that I just carried four of the girls on my own, wandering if they should report me to authorities, they help the rest of the students back to the academy.

In our cottage, there were a couple casks full of gray medicinal liquid waiting for us, there was even a mini cask for Little Jing.

I undressed the girls as I put them in the casks before taking a bath and going to bed. The medicine has no effect on me since my body heals 150 times faster than normal.
