Chapter 277: 0276 Rebellion?

For those who didn’t grasp the essence, no matter how much they fluttered their legs in the water, making all sorts of movements, they still couldn’t progress even a step further.

Then, people continued to try imitating Ye Qiu, employing various fancy swimming techniques, but to no avail.

At this time, some couldn’t help but doubt, and everyone couldn’t help but think, could it be that Ye Qiu’s actions just now were all a deception? Had he actually walked across?

Otherwise, why would there be no effect when they followed his actions?

Those who harbored such thoughts were not few, and soon someone reported to Mei Huiling, suggesting that Ye Qiu might have cheated.

Mei Huiling was firm in her stance, outright dismissing the attempts to slander Ye Qiu, responding indifferently, "If you can flutter your legs to create ripples in the water while walking, I too will consider you to have passed."

Immediately, those who doubted Ye Qiu were extinguished, as it was impossible for both feet to perform two actions at the same time.

It was only after this day’s exercise that Mei Huiling revealed the reason why Ye Qiu could swim.

"Treat the body like a rubber ball?"

"So it’s about storing qi in the chest to increase buoyancy, no wonder..."

After listening to Mei Huiling’s explanation, the members of the Dragon Group finally understood the main reason they couldn’t do it—it was all because of a few breaths of air.

While being jealous of Ye Qiu, many couldn’t help but admire him, no wonder Ye Qiu was so powerful, his wisdom was equally awe-inspiring.

Apart from Ye Qiu, everyone else had soaked in the pool for most of the day, soaking wet and very uncomfortable, only after changing back into dry clothes did they gather together again.

Ye Qiu attracting attention several times, had undoubtedly become a popular figure in the Dragon Group.

The training that followed was still based solely on physical strength, Mei Huiling didn’t come up with any peculiar ideas to drill them this time, just simple running laps around the perimeter of the martial arts field, which gave everyone a sigh of relief.

The sandbags couldn’t be removed, each person had to run five hundred laps, and those who failed to meet the requirement had to continue running until they completed five hundred laps.

"Everyone is the same, except for Ye Qiu. As the first to complete the underwater weight-bearing swim, I’ve decided to reward him," Mei Huiling said, surprising many who looked on with envious eyes.

Ye Qiu remained calm, waiting to hear what reward Mei Huiling would give him.

"Ye Qiu, you’ve performed well before, and your reward is... an additional five hundred laps." As soon as Mei Huiling spoke, Ye Qiu almost spat blood in frustration—how could this be considered a reward? Was this some kind of mistake?

Those who had previously looked envious suddenly couldn’t stop laughing; it turned out that Ye Qiu was going to have it twice as hard as them. The reward was too good, and everyone couldn’t help but laugh.

Ye Qiu, with a dark expression, carrying a sandbag weighing over a thousand pounds, began running laps around the martial arts field.

One lap of this martial arts field was almost a kilometer, and Ye Qiu had to run a thousand laps, which amounted to one million meters. Just thinking about Ye Qiu running double the distance of others, those laggards couldn’t help but snicker.

Ye Qiu had come to realize that Mei Huiling was deliberately making it harder for him. After all, he was Old Colorful’s disciple; there was no need to be so harsh on him, right?

He couldn’t help but wonder if she really was friend or foe to Old Colorful...

Ye Qiu complained in his heart, but his feet didn’t slack off. A thousand laps, for someone who relies solely on bodily strength to withstand the pressure of tens of thousands of times their own weight, was not difficult.

...

After a full day of training, everyone was exhausted and returned to their rooms to rest.

Ye Qiu, still with heavy legs, finished the last few laps before finally stopping to rest.

Relying solely on his own strength to complete such training was indeed difficult, and Ye Qiu for the first time felt like his legs were no longer his own.

Ye Qiu didn’t rush back to his room. He sat down where he was and rested in a seated pose, too lazy to even eat dinner.

It wasn’t until the acupuncture points sealing his True Qi automatically opened and he used his True Qi to relieve the fatigue of his whole body that he gradually began to feel lively again.

And this period of training had gone on until midnight in the outside world.

Ye Qiu slowly stood up and stretched his limbs, feeling his strength once again filling his body and washing away the fatigue.

Just as Ye Qiu was walking toward his own room, he suddenly noticed a figure, sneaky and quick, darting past.

Ye Qiu moved, at the same time concealing his breath, and followed.

The person was very cautious and vigilant, constantly looking back, as if scared of being discovered by someone.

Ye Qiu quietly followed behind, like a phantom, silent and unnoticeable, curious to see what this person was up to.

Hmm?

Ye Qiu suddenly realized that the person looked familiar; he had seen that face before—it was him!

Ye Qiu remembered meeting Cheng Tianhu; this person had approached him of his own accord, asking him to leave the Dragon Group, revealing he was also a member.

To this day, Ye Qiu couldn’t figure out what he had done to offend him, leading him to approach him and even come to blows.

Ye Qiu’s eyes shifted and he immediately followed; seeing how cautious the other party was, he must have been up to something.

He’s leaving the base!

Ye Qiu saw Cheng Tianhu carefully approaching the entrance used for entering and leaving the base.

Very careful, Cheng Tianhu stepped onto the exit only after making sure no one had seen him.

For the Dragon Group’s base, it was easy to go out but hard to get back in, but for a seasoned member like Cheng Tianhu, it was as simple as eating and drinking.

Ye Qiu closely followed behind, passing through multiple layers of automated scanning gates, and quickly arrived on the ground. He followed the trail of Cheng Tianhu’s aura, swiftly giving chase.

For someone who hadn’t even reached the True Qi realm, tracking was effortless.

Outside, the night sky was clear with sparse stars, and the temperature very low, the breath turning frosty.

Cheng Tianhu walked on the snow-covered ground, the sound crunching underfoot. Ye Qiu didn’t have the ability to Walk on Snow Without Trace like some mysterious figure, and couldn’t achieve complete silence, but with the help of the sparse woods, his body leapt from tree to tree with hardly any noise at all.

After following Cheng Tianhu for several hundred meters, he saw Cheng Tianhu stop and cautiously approach a black-clothed person to talk.

"Did you get the data?" the black-clothed person asked.

"Here’s what you wanted," Cheng Tianhu replied, handing over a bag to the person in black.

"And my stuff?"

The man in black wasn’t in a hurry; he glanced inside the bag, then handed a small bottle to Cheng Tianhu.

"I like working with ambitious people," said the man in black.

"I don’t have a good impression of you islanders. I’m doing this to become stronger," Cheng Tianhu said, his gaze flickering.

"Heh," the man in black chuckled and continued, "This bottle contains something that will satisfy you. Once you’ve absorbed it, you’ll be able to match a Martial Artist in the True Qi realm."

"Hope our next cooperation will be pleasant." After acquiring the data, the man in black did not wish to linger and quickly disappeared into the wilderness.

Cheng Tianhu held the small bottle in his hands like a precious treasure. After scanning his surroundings and seeing no sign of movement, he quickly left the spot.

Ye Qiu followed, only to see Cheng Tianhu find a cave and immediately crawl inside.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Ye Qiu did not immediately enter; he waited a few minutes until a painful cry came from inside the cave.

Ye Qiu’s expression changed, and he furrowed his brow. What data had Cheng Tianhu handed over to the man in black, and who was he? What was in that small bottle he received?

Not until three hours later did Ye Qiu see Cheng Tianhu, pallid, emerge from the cave. Although he seemed unharmed, his aura was still unsettled, and Ye Qiu detected a scent familiar to that of a wild beast.

He suddenly thought of beastmen!
