These include: jump rope, squats, push-ups, planks, jogging, weightlifting, yoga...
Upon learning that regular yoga practice can not only improve physical health but also shape and beautify the body, both women's eyes lit up.
He arranged aerobic exercises, not just running or weighted running.
Given the excellent teachings they had received before, they now trusted Jiang Yunzhou's theories without reservation.
Not wanting to disappoint Jiang Yunzhou, she diligently completed her tasks every day.
There were quite a few projects, and we were really exhausted at the beginning.
The two women persevered, and Zhu Zhuqing's performance was somewhat acceptable.
Ning Rongrong also finished everything, which earned her a higher opinion of Jiang Yunzhou.
Although Jiang Yunzhou's third soul skill possesses healing abilities that could instantly relieve their fatigue and muscle soreness, he did not do so.
Because he knows that true muscle growth comes from the intense tearing and rebuilding process that follows exercise.
Under his 'torture', the two men's bodies became stronger and more resilient at a visible rate, and their physiques became more and more perfect.
Of course, the cultivation of mental strength has never been neglected.
Hard work pays off. After fifteen days of arduous training, both women broke through to the twenty-ninth level.
After all, they were at a similar starting point after meeting Jiang Yunzhou, so it's not surprising that they broke through at the same time.
Recently, Jiang Yunzhou has devoted most of his time to cultivating his martial arts techniques and has not deliberately pursued an increase in his soul power level.
He selected techniques from those practiced by his two disciples and also cultivated some methods suitable for himself, such as the 'Exquisite Mind Aperture' to enhance mental perception and calculation, the 'Netherworld Eye' pupil technique, and the 'Spiritual Connection' for transmitting sound, etc...
He certainly doesn't want to be outdone by his apprentice someday.
Xiao Wu would occasionally sneak over for a meal, but recently the training at Shi Laike's place seemed to have intensified, and the time she could sneak out had become less free.
She admired the two women's training methods, as she was quite adept at yoga.
He even gave the two women instructions and helped them adjust their positions.
Jiang Yunzhou knew she possessed the art of judo, so he didn't find it particularly strange.
After spending half a month together, the three girls became very familiar with each other. When they got together, they were always chattering and joking around, showing a strong tendency to become best friends.
All of Xiao Wu's changes were being watched intently by a pair of eyes hidden in the shadows.
He sensed that Xiao Wu was gradually deviating from the expected path, and he had also noticed his son's recent despondency and low spirits.
He felt it was time to give them a good talking-to.
We can't directly target Xiao Wu, because if my own son finds out, he'll be the first to object.
Therefore, the root of the problem naturally lies in the source of all these changes.
One day, in the courtyard of the Supreme Academy, it was time for the weekly meeting.
At times like these, Jiang Yunzhou always adopts a calm and collected demeanor, like a wise and detached master.
He paced back and forth, addressing his two disciples:
"You're all familiar with the Battle Arena. I've seen your progress over the past two weeks. But true progress isn't just about theory; it needs to be tested and solidified in real combat."
"So, starting tonight, you will also be participating in the battles of the Soul Arena. What are your thoughts on this?"
Zhu Zhuqing was very confident and took the lead in saying, "Teacher, I agree!"
Ning Rongrong blinked her big eyes and asked, "Teacher, do I have to participate in the individual competition too?"
She pointed to herself, "I'm a support class, you know."
"Of course I'll participate. What, don't you have confidence in yourself?"
"That's not it!"
Ning Rongrong quickly shook her head, a sly look on her face.
"I'm afraid I might accidentally injure or kill my opponent with a counterattack. After all, we don't know how strong they are. If someone dies, wouldn't we have to pay a lot of money in compensation?"
Chapter 35 Teacher, betting is gambling, that's not good.
The words "loss money" struck Jiang Yunzhou like a thunderbolt, hitting his most sensitive nerve.
He wavered, and it seemed that it wasn't absolutely necessary for Ning Rongrong to participate in the war.
What if it really comes to the point of losing money? Then this deal would be a huge loss!
No, we can't let that happen.
"No, Rongrong."
Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing nearby, offered her opinion at the right moment. She explained, "I've tested your counter-damage effect. With your current level of control over 'Glassy Wall,' you can only reflect back up to fifty percent of the opponent's attack power. As long as the opponent isn't too fragile, or doesn't recklessly use all their strength to hit your shield, they won't die at all."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yunzhou nodded thoughtfully.
If it's only this level of risk, then it seems acceptable!
The more people participate, the more opportunities there are to place bets and make money!
He even started to wonder if he should give Ning Rongrong some more offensive methods so that she could take the initiative to attack.
But seeing her busy from morning till night, exhausted every day, I feel a little sorry for her.
"Alright, since that's the case, then it's settled!" He made the decision directly.
“In addition to the individual competition, you can form a pair to participate in the two-on-two competition. That way, I can place three bets.”
He made no attempt to conceal his true intentions.
He was quite confident in the two women's abilities.
Moreover, he had already planned for the future, intending to form a team to win the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament three years later, since the reward was three soul bones.
Soul bones are incredibly valuable; if there's an opportunity, you should definitely try to acquire one.
With Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong there, and if Xiao Wu were added, they could win even with a few dogs.
Ning Rongrong would be a very good candidate for captain.
She now possesses extremely strong self-protection capabilities. The cultivation technique she practices allows her to remain calm at all times, and the 'Spiritual Connection' establishes a mental link, enabling her to perfectly oversee the rear and coordinate the overall situation.
Participating in battles frequently and honing your reaction skills and teamwork with your teammates is crucial.
Jiang Yunzhou has decided that everyone who joins his sect will receive a copy of the incredibly useful and easily modifiable Lingxi Yin skill.
Ning Rongrong wasn't worried about Jiang Yunzhou's decision. She was well aware of her recent transformation, which naturally gave her confidence.
She's no longer an ordinary support-type Soul Master; she doesn't need anyone to protect her.
Thinking that his teacher had been pushing him to participate, he still harbored the idea of placing more bets and trying to make money?
A bold idea suddenly popped into her head: she really wanted to ask the teacher directly if she should consider being a kept man.
She really wanted to put her sweet and soft stuff directly into his mouth!
Zhu Zhuqing was more direct, hitting the nail on the head: "Teacher, betting is gambling, that's not good."
She knew that the teacher was betting in order to make money.
But now Ning Rongrong is bearing almost all of the academy's expenses.
Ning Rongrong often asked her for small favors, and then would casually slip her a handful of gold coins as a thank you gift.
Ning Rongrong arranged for the teacher to buy the ingredients, according to the standard of one thousand gold coins per month.
Logically speaking, teachers shouldn't be short of money.
She secretly worried: she must not let her teacher get addicted to gambling; nine out of ten gamblers lose. She was really worried sick about this family.
Jiang Yunzhou retorted matter-of-factly, "Why wouldn't I take money that's been handed to me for free?"
These words left Zhu Zhuqing speechless, and she could only sigh silently.
She secretly wondered: Should she give all the two thousand gold coins she had saved up to the teacher?
Unbeknownst to her, her little treasury had grown from the initial few dozen gold coins to over two thousand in the past two weeks thanks to Ning Rongrong's various tips and reimbursements.
Now, almost everything we eat, wear, and use is paid for by Ning Rongrong.
I have to admit, having a thoughtful and wealthy female junior sister is really great!
Most importantly, not accepting it is not an option.
Ning Rongrong always acts like she'll throw it away if you don't accept it, so who would be willing to do that?
So Zhu Zhuqing had no choice but to accept it with a clear conscience.
Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong was seriously considering another question: Should she continue to shower her teacher with money? What if the teacher really became a millionaire in the future? Would he lose interest in her gold coin offensive?
An idea popped into his head: what if I deliberately lose the game tonight? Make the teacher lose all the money he bet? Make him poor again, wouldn't that make him even more dependent on me?
As he thought about it, a sly smile unconsciously crept onto his face.
Jiang Yunzhou and his two apprentices held their weekly meeting in the courtyard.
They were discussing how to make a fortune in the Soul Arena.
From Shilaoren College, someone Tangshan had been eagerly awaiting arrived.
It was indeed the master, Yu Xiaogang.
His arrival gave Tangshan, who had been feeling down for days, a much-needed boost, and the gloom on his face dissipated considerably.
Yu Xiaogang has always had extremely high standards for Tangshan.
He heard from Huland about Tangshan's decadent performance over the past two weeks and was very displeased.
He was naturally aware of Tang Shan's feelings for Xiao Wu, but he was unsure of the specific stage their relationship had taken.
What surprised him even more was that Xiao Wu, who had always been clinging to Tangshan, had also begun to show signs of distance.
The two of them used to be inseparable, how did things turn out like this?
Upon learning that the root of all this seemed to lie in the newly opened 'Supreme Academy' across the street, and that the two sides had even clashed, Yu Xiaogang's expression turned particularly grim.
So he had a private conversation with Tang Shan.
"Mistress, do you know what you did wrong? How did I teach you?"
