Douluo Continent: Evil Flames Burn the Heavens, a Blessed Start with Many Children

"By the way, using soul power is not allowed!"

The words spoken earlier had already turned the students' faces pale with fright.

Finally, the order to forbid the use of soul power was announced.

A chorus of wails erupted from the crowd.

Many girls who weren't physically fit had no time to pay attention to Lu Heqiu's appearance; their ears were ringing, and they wondered if they had misheard.

"Teacher Lu!"

"Running laps without using your soul power isn't training, it's not a class, it's your way of retaliating against our earlier questioning!"

Someone forced themselves to say those words, but Lu Heqiu remained calm and composed, nodding slightly in acknowledgment.

"Yes, it's revenge."

"You're welcome to report me to Director Du, but only after you've finished this class!"

"Four hundred laps! Anyone else have a question!?"

Lu Heqiu's voice gradually became stern, and the group of students in front of him were the first to give in, baring their teeth as they started running along the playground, though a hint of anger lingered in their eyes.

Jiang Nannan glanced at Lu Heqiu, but didn't say a word. She just started running with the crowd.

It was summer at the time.

Although it was past noon, the sun was still high in the sky, making it more difficult for the students to run.

This is a standard 400-meter track. For these students, 400 laps is 160,000 meters. This distance does not allow the use of soul power, so it is destined that none of these students can complete it.

No matter how strong a Soul Master's physical abilities are, it is impossible for them to accomplish something that is inherently impractical.

Unless they use their soul power, most people will fail in today's lesson.

Lu Heqiu looked at the group of guys without saying a word.

In the original story, Huo Yuhao ran a hundred laps on his first day of school. If they were really allowed to use their soul power, it would be too easy for these guys.

It was simply impossible to give these arrogant geniuses a hard time.

The sun gradually sets in the west.

It hangs in the sky as if reluctant to leave.

Night quietly descends at this moment, urging the sky to darken and the sun to set.

The group of students ran from afternoon until dark. The strongest offensive-type Soul Master only managed a little over three hundred laps. While the agility-type Soul Masters were fast over short distances, their physical abilities were still considerably inferior to those of the offensive-type Soul Masters.

Even Jiang Nannan is still far from meeting the goals set by Lu Heqiu.

Many students sat on the edge of the lawn, looking at them with suspicion. Was this teacher even human? How could he come up with such a punishment? Running a hundred laps for asking one extra question—why didn't he say so beforehand?!

Director Du Weilun came once, asked two students who were jogging about the situation, and finally left with a twitching mouth, leaving the students with just one sentence.

"Don't mess with your teacher, Mr. Lu. No one can help you."

Teachers from other classes in the School of Foreign Languages ​​also came and initially thought that this kind of training was too harsh, not only not very effective for the students, but also harmful to their health.

The teachers who were thinking of pleading for the students immediately abandoned their idea when they saw Lu Heqiu.

What kind of favor are you asking for!

That kid used to be very petty. He would beat up his classmates over the smallest things, claiming that sparring would help him increase his soul power. Now that he's a teacher, who knows if he'll use the same trick again and beat up his colleagues?

Let the students suffer a little!

We can't let the teacher suffer, can we?

It's not that the outer academy doesn't have teachers whose soul power level far surpasses Lu Heqiu's, but this kid is growing so fast. If we can't beat you up now, can you handle him coming back to cause trouble in three to five years?

You can't expect someone in their fifties or sixties to get beaten up by a little brat, can you?!

That would be truly a huge loss of face!

"Teacher...!"

"I've finished running 400 laps."

The student from the offensive department who had initially questioned Lu Heqiu stood panting beside him. Now, his eyes were filled with fear, devoid of any doubt, as if he were afraid of offending the new teacher.

He heard what Director Du said!

Even Director Du doesn't care. They really can't think of any other way to file a complaint. They can't just drop out of school, can they?

The inner courtyard is almost here!

Lu Heqiu glanced at the remaining group of students who couldn't run anymore. At this moment, there was another figure beside Jiang Nannan. That figure was a size larger than the ordinary students. Although he didn't look as good as Lu Heqiu, he could still be considered handsome.

He didn't say anything at this moment, but just ran alongside Jiang Nannan.

Jiang Nannan completely ignored him, and even a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes, as if she had thought of something, and she was cold and distant, keeping him at arm's length.

The boy didn't say anything, just followed quietly, occasionally offering her a bottle of water. But Jiang Nannan wouldn't take anything he offered, and when she did utter a word, it was a clenched "Get lost!"

Seeing this, Lu Heqiu simply addressed the remaining students: "The use of Martial Soul, Soul Power, and Soul Skills is permitted. Those who haven't finished within ten minutes will have to run an additional four hundred laps!"

These words brought a sense of relief to the students.

In an instant, various colors of light appeared on the playground, and the yellow and purple soul rings were dazzling. In particular, the agility-type soul masters immediately moved like the wind after receiving Lu Heqiu's command.

With the ability to use their soul skills, the remaining distance of less than a hundred laps was child's play for them.

However, an amusing scene unfolded on the playground.

Originally, Xu Sanshi could barely keep up with Jiang Nannan without using his soul skills, but now that he uses his soul skills, he can't even catch a glimpse of Jiang Nannan and can only cast resentful glances at Lu Heqiu.

This was one of the few times he could spend with Jiang Nannan!

Although Jiang Nannan still ignored him, at least she was standing by his side, which he considered a step forward in their relationship.

But all of that is over now.

The remaining laps were nothing to these prodigies.

Less than ten minutes.

The students of Class One stood neatly in front of Lu Heqiu, but Lu Heqiu had no intention of praising them. He simply spoke indifferently.

"Anyone want to volunteer for the combat course?"

None of the students in front of them spoke.

After running so many laps, who would want to have a duel with someone when they're exhausted?

Moreover.

Teacher Lu didn't say anything. Who knows if he'll say something about punishment for the loser later?

Lu Heqiu shook his head at the group of students in front of him. People's hearts are not what they used to be. What kind of students would doubt their teacher like this! Although he did intend to do so, he was still quite disappointed to be doubted by the students. He hadn't managed to trick them!

Lu Heqiu's gaze immediately fell on Xu Sanshi, who was standing not far away watching, and he waved to him.

"You're not a student in our class, are you?"

"Come over here too, and have a soul battle with me. I won't use any soul skills."

"If you hadn't hit me."

"They should run another four hundred laps!"
