Chapter 13

The four of them followed the instructions of the instructor and went to the office to report and pay the fees after the meal. They had also received military training instructions.

The closed-off martial arts academy naturally had military training.

The content of the military training was not complicated. It was to gather all the new students and divide them into teams to train and compete in a militarized manner.

They would use this opportunity to select the most talented students and nurture them.

At the same time, he could also sharpen the minds of the new students and strengthen their sense of belonging to Lijoann.

“Brother, don’t you have to perform well?”

Li Tongwen glanced at Li Tongwu after he finished reading the military training manual. “You’re so talented. Even if you don’t get first or second place in military training, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to get into the top ten, right?”

“Huh?”

Li Tongwu, who had just bought iced coke for Lin Bai, was dumbfounded. “Brother, are you joking? There must be a lot of strong people in the academy. Within our dorm itself, Brother Lin and Old Wei can beat me up!”

“How do you have the cheek to say that! It’s all because you didn’t work hard!”

Li Tongwen expected better from him.

He couldn’t wait to spend 24… No, 22 hours a day immersed in training and leave two hours for him to read novels.

However, his younger brother, Li Tongwu, was different. He had talent that was several times more outstanding than his. He slacked off every day and either read novels or looked at beauties. He was so dispirited.

However, Li Tongwu had an indifferent expression. “What’s wrong with that? We can enter the academy now. The results of the military training will only affect how much resources we can obtain in the future. It’s nothing… Old Wei, don’t you think so?”

Wei Qing smiled honestly when he faced Li Tongwu, who was seeking approval.

“Just do your best. There’s no need to force yourself.”

Li Tongwu immediately revealed an expression that said, “You know me.” Then, he looked at Lin Bai and grinned. “Brother Lin, what do you think?”

“Me…”

Lin Bai shrugged. “I just want to write. I don’t want to undergo military training.”

It was sweltering outside now with more than 30 degrees in the morning!

The mercury would hit more than 40 degrees at noon. It would be like a sauna without any water vapor. One would have to struggle to go out, let alone train under the sun.

Simply torture!

There was no need for him to suffer!

Moreover, what if he obtained a good ranking?

The resources of the martial arts academy were not very tempting to him.

If he had the time, he might as well write a few more novels and cash up.

This was the most practical thing!

Except…

Lin Bai sighed softly. “Unfortunately, the academy requires everyone to participate. I shouldn’t be able to escape.”

Li Tongwen thought about it and said, “Doesn’t that mean we have nothing to read?”

“What should we do?”

Wei Qing frowned. “Brother Lin’s book… is good. Don’t stop updating…”

“Aiyo, I’m good at this!”

Upon hearing this, Li Tongwu instantly became excited. “Brother Lin, don’t worry and write boldly! I’ll help you think of a way!”

“Do you think it can work?” Lin Bai looked at him suspiciously.

“Of course!”

Li Tongwu patted his chest. “I’ve never been caught skipping class. Leave it to me!”

“…”

Lin Bai could not help but give him a thumbs up.

…

The next day, the sun was shining brightly.

When the military training began, the instructors were very strict.

After the teams were divided, before the roll call even began, everyone was asked to run laps around the field.

The small target of 5,000 meters drew a chorus of wails.

Halfway through, many girls changed from running to walking.

It was normal for women to have weak physical fitness.

However, a few lazy boys were also among them. They looked like they couldn’t stand it. Their expressions were exaggerated and slightly pretentious.

The instructor saw this and was expressionless.

The physical fitness test was the fastest and most convenient way to check if the students had martial arts foundations.

He wouldn’t blame them for not being able to finish running.

To be able to pass the recruitment test meant that the students standing here all had the qualifications to become Awakened.

As long as he taught them carefully, there would be a day when they would be successful.

However, it was a matter of attitude if they did not want to finish running.

Do they think that he, the instructor, does not exist?

This kind of behavior must be severely punished!

Hence, those who deliberately pretended to be weak and wanted to avoid running laps were all pulled out one by one. They were happy to receive the reward of two times the number of laps.

When the other students finished running and rested, they were still sweating on the field. They had nowhere to cry.

When the three people from Dorm 3609 saw this scene, they all muttered.

“This instructor doesn’t seem easy to fool…”

Li Tongwen hesitated for a moment. “Should we ask Brother Lin to come back?”

His younger brother, Li Tongwu, was sitting at the side, panting. He shook his head and said, “With this instructor’s personality, where he wants us to run five laps without saying anything. We’ll lose a layer of skin even if we don’t lose a piece of meat today. If Brother Lin suffers like this, how will he have the strength to write books when he goes back?”

“But if he’s discovered, Brother Lin will suffer twice as much,” Wei Qing added in a low voice.

“Let’s take it one step at a time.”

Li Tongwu said firmly, “If there’s really no other way, Old Wei, tell the instructor that I’m pranking Brother Lin. Tell him that I told him only to participate in the military training tomorrow and punish me.”

“Let me do it.” Li Tongwen glanced at his younger brother. “You won’t be able to take it if you run another ten laps.”

At this moment, the whistle sounded.

The instructor took the lead and walked into the sunlight of the field. He faced everyone and raised his hand to signal the entire team to gather.

The students immediately wailed.

They had just finished running and hadn’t rested for two minutes. Why were they training again?!

…

At the same time, in the internet cafe in the business district of the university city outside the field.

Lin Bai was enjoying the air conditioner and listening to music. He lay comfortably on the soft sofa and logged into the author’s backend of the Myriad World Novel Network to upload all the chapters of the Heavenly Dao Record that he had finished writing.

After a week, the second book finally reached its end.

He turned his gaze and saw the mighty team of thousands of people on the field, sweating under the scorching sun.

“How tragic.”

Lin Bai laughed unkindly when he saw this.

He took the unfinished ice cream and took a big bite.

Thank you, Li Tongwu!

As a big brother, I can’t repay you. I can only help you eat a few more mouthfuls of ice cream to cool you down!

Suddenly, he noticed that the ‘message’ icon in the author’s backend had turned red.

This meant that there were new notifications.

“Huh? Why are there three more notifications?”

Lin Bai opened it and was shocked.
