Chapter 71 Weighted Obstacle Run
Facing the new Training Ground No. 3, Yang Podi started running with his weights on his back.
The first thing that catches the eye is the 100-meter sprint, which, although on a straight track, is completed at top speed.
Next is a deep pit, more than two meters in diameter. You need to jump into the pit and then quickly climb out, which is a great test of arm strength.
Then comes crawling through the sewers, which consists of several tubular objects, each less than a meter in diameter and 20 meters long, requiring the use of physical strength to quickly crawl through them.
Next is the log bridge. Climb up a small step about one meter high, and there's a 30-meter-long log bridge. On the log bridge is a long round log with a diameter of 20 centimeters. I don't know what kind of wood it is. You need to have a very good grasp of balance, otherwise you'll easily fall off, and if you do fall, you have to start over.
Next comes the five-step stakes, where five irregular stakes appear in succession, each more than a meter apart, requiring you to run past them one after another.
Then there's a square pool over 30 meters long, which requires swimming quickly. Swimming is especially difficult when you're carrying weights, and it really tests your physical endurance and balance.
Next was a mud pit with low stake netting, which required quickly crawling across, necessitating rapid movement of the entire body through the mud.
The next project is the high-altitude log climbing, which requires climbing a spider web rope more than 30 meters high. The rope sways throughout the climb, making it difficult to gain leverage and testing the person's control over their strength.
……
In short, Yang Podi felt a bit tired after running a lap himself. It was probably much more difficult than running with weights. No wonder there was a saying among the veterans in his previous life's army: "I'd rather run five kilometers than run four hundred meters."
Running alone is indeed more painful than running 5000 meters. If running 3000 meters or 5,000 meters is torturous for the lungs and muscles, then obstacle course training is a test of the entire body and soul, because completing all the events is quite difficult and greatly strengthens one's willpower.
The other six people suffered even more, especially the two girls, who were prone to falling and getting injured if they weren't careful.
After running and stopping many times, it was finally evening, but everyone had run less than 10 kilometers. Even Yang Podi, who ran a little more, did not reach 50 kilometers.
At this point, everyone was bruised and swollen, their muscles ached all over, and they were sweating profusely, almost collapsing.
Seeing this, Coach Li Xiang quickly arranged for the five people to take medicinal baths separately next to the training ground. Of course, the medicinal baths were also done separately, since men and women are different.
During the medicinal bath, apart from Yang Podi, the other six people fell asleep in the tub, indicating that they had consumed a great deal of energy.
After everyone finished their medicinal baths, they rushed to the cafeteria at lightning speed, like a pack of hungry wolves.
By evening, everyone except Ye Lingling, who was still relatively weak, had recovered somewhat.
The evening's schedule remains the same as yesterday: continuing to fight in the Soul Arena. Given Ye Lingling's current physical condition, she hasn't recovered quickly enough; her main purpose is to treat everyone on-site to prevent any accidents.
Yang Podi also told everyone that the subsequent training would mainly focus on this kind of weighted obstacle running, and the weight would be gradually increased for each person. The requirement for each person was basically to run to the point of exhaustion, meaning that everyone had to run to their limit.
Upon hearing this, everyone wore a sour expression. Yang Podi finally spoke: "Given the high physical demands of the obstacle course, there will be one day of rest every seven days, and five days of rest every three months. You are free to do as you please during the rest periods, but you cannot stop meditating."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, including Teacher Li Xiang, otherwise, even he wouldn't have been able to withstand such intensity.
This continued for three months, and everyone began to adapt to obstacle course running with weights. After all, they were all Soul Masters, and their physical recovery and adaptability were far superior to ordinary people.
After three months of continuous training, everyone's soul power increased by one level. Niu Meng increased to level 23, Bai Xiaofei and Tailong are now at level 22, Ye Lingling is at level 26, Dugu Yan finally broke through to level 30, Yang Ping'an broke through to level 28, and Yang Podi himself broke through to level 36.
In particular, everyone's physical fitness has improved a lot. The most noticeable improvement is seen in the two girls, who are no longer as prone to fainting as they were at the beginning. It is evident that everyone's willpower and physical fitness have improved considerably.
The men's muscles became increasingly defined, not just from bodybuilding, but as a unified whole. The two women's figures also started to improve, becoming more curvaceous.
After three months of Soul Battles, Yang Podi has now obtained the Purple Gold Soul Battle Medal. In Soul Battles at the Soul Master stage, he has maintained a perfect record in both single and 2v2 Soul Battles, and seems to be the Soul Master who has broken through to the Purple Gold Soul Battle Medal the fastest in the Soul Battle Arena.
Yang Podi's training plan needs to be changed as a precaution. After obtaining the Purple Gold Battle Soul Medal, the Heaven Dou City Great Battle Soul Arena can no longer hold matches because there are no Soul Masters of the Purple Gold Battle Soul level there, and there are no Soul Masters of the Purple Gold Battle Soul level in the entire Douluo Continent.
After three months of training, Yang Podi has improved significantly in terms of combat experience, on-the-spot reaction and adaptability, and even his physical strength and balance have been greatly enhanced.
According to Yang Podi's estimation and Li Xiang's analysis, even among Soul Masters, few would be a match for Yang Podi, especially considering that he hasn't used any Soul Skills in the Soul Arena yet. To achieve so many victories solely through spear techniques and spear energy is truly terrifying.
During these three months, Yang Podi participated in nearly 300 Soul Battles, averaging more than three battles a day. These 300 Soul Battles earned Yang Podi more than 500 million Gold Soul Coins.
Yang Podi is now a star in the Soul Arena. Every time he steps onto the stage, he is greeted with cheers from the entire audience, and it seems he has attracted quite a few fans. Many people directly call Yang Podi the strongest Soul Master.
Some people tried to cause trouble for Yang Podi, but they were all stopped. Although Teacher Li Xiang's soul power was not high, he was only a Soul King, but he was a teacher at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. No one dared to cause trouble for him for a little gold soul coins. You should know that the three teaching committee members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy were all Soul Douluo powerhouses, and they were known for protecting their own. If they were to provoke those three old men, it would be troublesome.
Dugu Yan, in particular, fiercely rebuked the other party, leaving him speechless. Upon learning that Dugu Yan was Dugu Bo's granddaughter, the other party hurriedly apologized and then slunk away, trying to avoid her at all costs.
Just as Yang Podi was about to leave with his Purple Gold Battle Soul Medal, a waiter next to him said, "Mr. Yang Podi, do you have some time? If so, the person in charge of our Heaven Dou City Grand Battle Soul Arena would like to invite you to his office for a chat. Of course, your safety is absolutely guaranteed."
