Nearly all the Combat faculty students had unfriendly gazes. Their eyes seemed to have a strong fighting spirit. Even Chen Ziheng had a stern expression as his expression turned serious.
Zhuo Yifan was the same. After clenching his fists, the corners of his mouth curled into a sneer.
Even the teachers of the Combat faculty gave Wang Baole a deep look.
The strange scene of hundreds of burly men looking at him made Wang Baole feel a chill run down his spine. He felt that something was amiss …
"Have these people from the Combat faculty turned silly from training?" Wang Baole subconsciously took a few steps back as he began to feel suspicious. He had been so immersed in running that he had neglected everything around him. His mind was filled with Grandpas Fatso chasing him, so he did not pay attention to the Combat faculty students and their setbacks.
"We are all from Ethereal Dao College. Haha, since you want to train in private here, then … it's the same if I go elsewhere." When Wang Baole saw the situation, he laughed dryly and was about to leave when the surrounding Combat faculty students came forward. Soon, they surrounded Wang Baole and blocked his path.
"What are you doing? This is Ethereal Dao College. I'm a specially-recruited student of the Dharmic Armament faculty!" Wang Baole jumped in fright as he hurriedly glared.
The Combat faculty teacher had a meaningful smile on his face. He quickly took a few steps forward and grabbed Wang Baole as he laughed out loud.
"Student Wang Baole, don't be afraid. Come, come and train with us from the Combat faculty." He smiled smugly and was secretly delighted. He thought about how Wang Baole was indeed good at running, but in terms of strength, he was definitely not the Combat faculty's match.
After all, the Combat faculty spent most of their time on tempering their bodies. They had an absolute advantage in terms of strength. It would have been fine if Wang Baole had not taken the initiative to seek him out, but since he had come knocking on his door, how could he let him go?
"This time, we have to vent our anger and let him know the prowess of our Combat faculty!"
The teacher from the Combat faculty had a smile on his face as he pulled Wang Baole to the training ground. He pointed at the hundreds of huge Meteorite Metal Barbells on the ground and spoke with a smile.
"Student Wang Baole, come, come. Pick one of them." With that said, the Combat faculty teacher looked at the other Combat faculty students and shouted.
"And you guys, hurry up and train!"
Wang Baole hesitated for a moment. Just as he was about to say something, the Combat faculty students charged at the barbells like wolves and tigers. After each of them lifted one, they glared at Wang Baole provocatively.
"Something's wrong!" Wang Baole was on his guard, but when faced with these people's provocative gazes, he also lost his temper. He glared at them and grabbed a barbell. He took a deep breath and raised it.
Almost at the same moment Wang Baole raised the barbell, the teacher felt extremely smug as he shouted.
"Begin counting. Brats, use all your strength!"
Amidst the Combat faculty teacher's excitement, the Combat faculty students roared. This unique competition began abruptly. In an instant, almost everyone was roaring as they constantly lifted the barbell. This was especially so for Chen Ziheng and Zhuo Yifan. They were already at the second level of the Ancient Martial Realm. Although the barbell was extremely heavy, it was still something they could bear.
"They want to compete with me!" Wang Baole was indignant. He realized that the barbells weren't very heavy when he lifted them, so he used all his strength to lift them.
Immediately, the sound of heavy breathing could be heard everywhere in the training ground.
"Tenth … Twentieth … Thirtieth … Did you not eat? Use more strength!" The Combat faculty's teacher's low roar constantly echoed. Gradually, when everyone had lifted more than fifty of them, some people could not hold on any longer. With the weight of the meteorite iron barbells, a normal person would be considered very strong if they could hold on for five of them.
But at that moment, almost everyone had managed to lift fifty. This was already considered an extraordinary performance. Their bodies were trembling as though they could not hold on any longer.
"It's that heavy?" Wang Baole was somewhat surprised. Even though he had lifted fifty, the weight was not unbearable for him. Most importantly, the spirit fat in his body was rapidly depleted as he lifted the weights. It transformed into spirit energy to nourish his body, so not only was he not tired, he was even more spirited.
However, when Wang Baole saw the angry gazes of the crowd, he snorted inwardly. He deliberately trembled a few times and acted as though he could not hold on any longer. He even panted heavily.
"I'm going to lift one last time!"
When he said that, the students who could not hold on any longer seemed to regain their strength. They gritted their teeth and roared as they forcefully lifted another barbell. However, when they looked at Wang Baole, they realized that although Wang Baole was swaying, he was also able to hold up. They immediately turned anxious.
Wang Baole panted as though he could collapse at any moment. He roared with a red face, "I'm going to lift one last time!"
The other students gritted their teeth again. However, they had reached their limit. Nearly half of them were unable to hold on any longer. With a thump, they fell to the ground. Thankfully, they had protective measures in place, so they were not injured.
As for the one hundred or so people who were still holding on, they held their breath and lifted again. However, it didn't take long for them to realize that Wang Baole was saying the same thing, and lifting again.
"Everyone, keep it up!"
"He can't hold on any longer!" The exhausted students lay on the ground, cheering for their companions. However, their cheers soon grew weaker and weaker. In the end, they were gnashing their teeth.
Not only did Wang Baole not fall to the ground, but more and more of the remaining hundred or so people could not hold on any longer. In their grief and indignation, they ran out of energy. In the end, there were less than ten people left, trembling as they continued to hold on.
They had also reached their limits, but every time they saw Wang Baole's trembling body, they could not help but think that perhaps this was Wang Baole's last time.
However, as the ten of them succumbed to despair, and only Chen Ziheng and Zhuo Yifan were left holding on, Wang Baole continued to tremble and raise his hand.
"I can still hold on a little longer. This is really the last time!" Wang Baole staggered a step back before suddenly propping himself up. Panting, he lifted again.
"Shameless!"
"This is too much!" The surrounding students could not help but bellow angrily. Even the teacher from the Combat faculty was cursing inwardly. From his point of view, Wang Baole's actions were too despicable.
"Chen Ziheng, Zhuo Yifan, it's fine if you lose to the Dharmic Armament faculty in running, but are you going to lose to the Combat faculty in weightlifting as well?" the Combat faculty teacher roared.
Chen Ziheng's eyes turned red. Together with Zhuo Yifan, he seemed to be giving it his all. He gritted his teeth and lifted again. After lifting another hundred or so, Chen Ziheng looked at Wang Baole, who was still trembling but still persisting. He lamented inwardly before collapsing powerlessly.
Even Zhuo Yifan had his limits. In the end, he had unleashed all his potential. As he trembled, he attempted to lift the barbell, but he felt the world spinning around him. He could not hold on any longer.
It was the same for Wang Baole. His body was constantly staggering back and forth, as though it was very difficult for him to lift it again. Chen Ziheng immediately felt hope. As for the other students, they were excited.
"Grandpas Fatties, give me strength!" Wang Baole's body was drenched in sweat. As he roared, all the students and teachers secretly called for him to lower down, and he slowly lifted the barbell.
Immediately, everyone glared at him angrily. Zhuo Yifan's eyes turned red as he indignantly tried to lift the barbell. However, he could not hold on any longer and collapsed.
His vision turned black as the depression in his heart was indescribable.
At that moment, everyone in the training ground had nasty expressions. They stared intently at Wang Baole, the only person still lifting. They watched as Wang Baole lifted again and again as though there was no end to it …
Two hours, four hours, six hours, eight hours ….
When they were resting, Wang Baole was still lifting. When they recovered and started again, Wang Baole was still lifting. When they went to eat, Wang Baole was still lifting. Even when they were about to leave in the middle of the night, Wang Baole was still lifting under the moonlight …
In the end, everyone was dumbfounded. If he was lifting weights normally, they would have tolerated it. However, he would always shout 'last lift'. Even after shouting for so long, his voice did not turn hoarse.
"This bastard is too despicable!"
"Damn it, isn't he tired after shouting for so long!?"
Everyone was in despair. The Combat faculty teachers were also dispirited. They felt defeated and planned to leave with the students. They had made up their minds to never bring anyone for outdoor training whenever they saw Wang Baole.
But at the instant they were about to leave, an extraordinary aura suddenly erupted from Wang Baole's body. At that moment, his entire body emitted a red glow that resembled flames. This red glow seeped out from his body, passed through his skin, and exploded in front of everyone's eyes.
This was … Shocking Lifeblood!
Rich Lifeblood filled the surroundings as his body rapidly shrank. Finally, he returned to Wang Baole's former appearance. All his spirit fat was completely burned at that moment, supporting his body to step into … the Lifeblood realm!
This scene immediately made the minds of the people who were planning to leave buzz. They stood there as though they had been struck by lightning. They were completely dumbfounded.
"I did it!" Wang Baole threw down the barbell in excitement. He looked at his restored body and roared with laughter. When he realized that he had reached the Lifeblood realm, he was pleasantly surprised. In high spirits, he quickly ran off …
Even when he was far away, the people from the Combat faculty who were standing in the training ground did not recover from their daze. Only after some time did they begin to inhale incessantly.
"He … He actually broke through?"
"Heavens, he's from the Dharmic Armament faculty, but he stepped into the Lifeblood realm faster than us!"
"My eyes must be playing tricks on me. He's lifting weights … and as he lifted them, he broke through!"
Incredulous exclamations and discussions erupted from the students. The scene was too much of a blow to them. Not only had they lost to Wang Baole twice in a row, but they had also watched helplessly as Wang Baole broke through. This made their eyes turn red with jealousy.
Even the teachers from the Combat faculty could not help but vent their frustrations from the entire day.
"You bunch of trash!"
"Don't even think about going back to sleep. He's from the Dharmic Armament faculty. He can even break through while lifting weights. What about you? Keep training. Don't stop until you break through!"
This time, not many students lamented. Instead, many people's eyes lit up. They felt that this might be a good way to break through. All of them were breathing rapidly as they hurried to train.
It was unknown if it was really effective or if the stimulation was too great, but after one night, there was a student in the Combat faculty who broke through while lifting weights.
As such, this matter immediately caused a stir in the entire Combat faculty. It was as though it had become a legend. Even after a long time, people from the Combat faculty would still come here to lift weights to try their luck.
