Chapter 42: 042:

Climb, keep climbing! The whole team charged forward.

Endless climbing, the speed was incredibly fast.

The Special Student Pavilion Academy ahead had already weaved into the dense forest. Gu Tong was sweating profusely but still couldn’t catch up with the team, lagging behind. She knew her physical fitness was poor, but she didn’t expect it to be this bad.

...

"What’s someone like her doing as a special trainee? She can’t even meet the standard of an ordinary trainee."

"She must be here to gain some prestige through connections. I didn’t expect the strongest Special Student Pavilion Academy to have someone like this."

"Didn’t you see how Teacher Lan gave her special attention? She must have someone backing her from above."

...

The distance wasn’t far, and the continuous discussions drifted into Gu Tong’s ears.

Again with the connections, it’s like she can never shed this label. She let out a cold laugh and continued forward with difficulty.

Having already reached a considerable age, she could break through even in such circumstances, let alone now.

No one remains unchanged.

Lan Siming was observing the movements over here, not missing a single action of Gu Tong’s. Yet, the doubt in his eyes was gradually rising, lingering and refusing to dissipate over time.

...

Around noon.

Gu Tong, dragging her exhausted body, headed towards the cafeteria. Her old arms and legs were almost worn out by the New Student Training Camp, feeling as if they no longer belonged to her.

"Hey, my new recruit, how do you feel?"

Lan Siming, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, slapped Gu Tong on the shoulder with a face full of mischievous smiles. This girl can really hold on, surprisingly persisting to the end; her willpower was truly not ordinary.

"Get lost!"

Every muscle in Gu Tong’s body was aching, especially where Lan Siming touched, making it even more pronounced.

"Oh dear, the new recruit treats me like this; I’m going to be so heartbroken..." Lan Siming feigned a pitiful look and said, "Besides... I did specifically remind you; there’s more training in the afternoon, so don’t exhaust your energy and end up unable to keep up..."

This annoying guy was definitely doing it on purpose.

If Lan Siming weren’t her teacher, Gu Tong would definitely slap him to the edge of the universe.

"I’m going to eat!"

Gu Tong had no intention of dealing with him and decided to turn her anger into appetite. Without enough energy, how could she withstand the devilish training?

"Eat well and have good stamina~ It’ll make dealing with the upcoming training easier~" Lan Siming was even more provoking.

Easy, my foot...

Gu Tong wanted to curse at that; don’t you realize how twisted and perverted the training regimen you set up is...?

She rolled her eyes, not wanting to converse with this person any further.

Gu Tong hurried to the cafeteria, got her meal at the fastest speed possible, and found an unoccupied table. Just as she sat down, she saw Lan Siming’s annoying face again, and immediately frowned, asking, "Does Teacher Lan need something?"

"Just connecting emotionally with the new recruit."

Gu Tong raised her eyebrows and said, "There are so many people in the New Student Camp, aren’t you afraid of exhausting yourself by connecting emotionally every day?"

"That’s why I’m connecting emotionally with the weakest trainee; it might boost the whole New Student Camp’s combat effectiveness."

"..." She felt like killing him, just hand her a knife...

Insinuating that she’s weak, is that even interesting...?

If it were in her previous life, when Gu Tong regained her strength, she would definitely shred him into pieces in minutes, leaving no room for him to mock her like this, reborn...
