Triple the training load Who do you think you're looking down on

"..."

Lu Xiaobai instantly fell silent, not daring to say another word.

Didn't this mean she still didn't believe him...

At this moment, Nangong Ling's voice became even gentler as she asked:

"By the way, Xiaobai, what was your rank in the last Star Martial Arts test?"

"Huh?"

Lu Xiaobai was slightly taken aback, then answered honestly:

"9987."

"How many students are there in our school's senior year!"

Lu Xiaobai lowered his head and said:

"9987."

"Do you know what that means?"

"It means... our school is quite big?"

"??"

Nangong Ling froze for a moment, then narrowed her eyes and said flatly:

"It means you have no more room to drop!"

"..."

Lu Xiaobai lowered his head in silence, thinking to himself:

Isn't that a good thing? Now every step I take is upward...

"Alright, seeing as you're so handsome, I'll only give you a small punishment."

Nangong Ling turned around and said casually:

"Today, your physical training load will simply be doubled."

"Ah..."

Lu Xiaobai instantly let out a miserable howl.

His vitality level was already at the bottom of the grade. Normally, standard physical training was enough to exhaust him completely, but today it was directly doubled. Wasn't this just asking for his life?

"Howling? Howling counts against your time too!"

Nangong Ling's lips curled up as she continued gently:

"If you don't finish on time, we'll keep adding to it!"

"..."

Lu Xiaobai quieted down at once.

The gazes of the others carried a touch of sympathy.

Great Demon King Nangong wasn't joking around with you; even if you had to crawl, you had to meet the quota...

Just then, a tall and thin boy muttered:

"Teacher, his dad is the Human Speaker, give him some face..."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Xiaobai's expression changed instantly, and he glared fiercely at the boy.

No, you damn monkey, if you want to die, don't drag me down with you...

"Ah?"

Looking at Lu Xiaobai's eyes, Yu Wei instantly realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.

At this moment, Nangong Ling paused her steps, then looked over and said softly:

"Yu Wei, was that you speaking?"

"Y-yes?"

Yu Wei instantly shivered, his words stumbling a bit, feeling a great terror rising in his heart.

"I see you two are quite close usually..."

Nangong Ling smiled faintly and said:

"Since that's the case, I'll let you two keep each other company. Your training load is also simply doubled!"

"No way..."

Yu Wei instantly wailed, but as soon as he saw Nangong Ling's gaze, he immediately fell silent, terrified of getting a super double multiplier...

At this time, Nangong Ling looked at Lu Xiaobai again and said in a surprised tone:

"Your surname is Lu, and your father is Speaker Lu Xingtian? That's not right. If you really are from the Lu family, how could your Star Martial Arts grades be this abysmal? Even if they just piled resources on you, they could push you to be first in the school, right?"

"Uh... I'm a little bit special..."

Lu Xiaobai lowered his head, a hint of helplessness on his face.

"Special?"

Nangong Ling glanced at him but didn't ask further, instead smiling and saying:

"But since you are from the Lu family, I believe your bloodline can't be bad. Twice the training load is far from your limit, so let's make it three times, shall we?"

"???"

Lu Xiaobai's expression changed instantly. Just as he was about to retort, lines of information appeared before his eyes:

[Two-Star Mission Triggered: Complete five times the training load within the specified time]

[Who are they looking down on with three times the training load? Five times, go straight for five times the intensity. Work hard, young man, this is your true limit]

"..."

Lu Xiaobai immediately wanted to curse out loud.

For him, if he pushed past his limits, he could probably complete three times the training load. After all, human potential is inherently limitless. But if it was five times the training load, it would absolutely kill him on the spot...

"How the hell am I supposed to finish five times the training load? Maybe if I cheat... Wait, cheat?"

Lu Xiaobai had been ready to give up, but suddenly a flash of inspiration hit his mind, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Smiling? Student Lu Xiaobai, it seems you are very confident?"

Nangong Ling's expression shifted slightly, a trace of surprise in her eyes.

If an ordinary student heard about three times the training load, their calves would probably be trembling, but this guy could actually still smile.

Is this the psychological fortitude of the Speaker's son?

"It's merely three times."

Lu Xiaobai restrained his smile, looked up at the ceiling at a forty-five-degree angle with deep eyes, and even let out a sigh:

"I originally just wanted to keep a low profile, but alas, the world is too arrogant. Since that's the case, let everyone see the foundation of my Lu family!"

"Putting on an act?"

Nangong Ling raised an eyebrow, smiling as she said:

"If so, let the training begin!"

She wanted to see if this guy actually had real skills or if he was just pretending hard...

At this moment,

Everyone began today's physical training.

The so-called physical training was no different from ancient training methods—nothing more than weighted running, push-ups, pull-ups, and so on—but the intensity was quite high...

Yu Wei came to Lu Xiaobai's side with a miserable look on his face.

Since only the two of them had increased workloads today, they naturally formed a group for training, starting with the warm-up phase of a 10,000-meter long-distance run...

"Brother Lu, I feel like after finishing today's physical training, I'll lose at least half my life."

"It won't be that easy."

"..."

Yu Wei instantly fell silent.

Lu Xiaobai glanced at him indifferently and said weirdly:

"I say, are you crazy? Did you have to die together with me?"

If the other party hadn't mentioned his family background just now, it would be impossible for both of them to have their workloads increased at the same time...

Yu Wei said with a face full of grievance:

"I was just thinking of getting the Great Demon King to waive your punishment..."

"Then you're purely throwing yourself at the muzzle of a gun!"

Lu Xiaobai lowered his voice and said:

"I've investigated it. The Great Demon King could have stayed at the university to teach after graduation, but her spot was taken by a child of a powerful noble. That's why she came back to our ancestral planet to be a teacher. Tell me, aren't you just asking for death?"

"No wonder a top student from a first-class starry sky academy came to our remote backwater."

Yu Wei instantly realized, secretly regretting it in his heart, while saying carefully:

"Brother Lu, you have to forgive me, I really meant well..."

Lu Xiaobai sighed and muttered to himself:

"No wonder they say a bad guy's racking his brains isn't as effective as an idiot's sudden stroke of genius..."

"..."

Yu Wei scratched his head, just about to continue saying something.

"Alright, I'm not blaming you."

Lu Xiaobai interrupted him.

This was actually the truth. After all, if it weren't for Yu Wei's stunt, he really might not have triggered this mission.

Seeing this, Yu Wei finally let out a sigh of relief, then said with some hesitation:

"Brother Lu, can you really finish this triple training load?"

"Are you doubting your Brother Lu's abilities?"

Lu Xiaobai glanced at him and said confidently:

"Watch closely and learn!"

What Yu Wei didn't know was that Lu Xiaobai's goal wasn't three times, but five times the training load!
