"…." Do the teachers wish for us to die?

As a martial artist of rank 3, it was common for them to travel a kilometer in the span of a few seconds. However, they would need to utilize their martial arts because it would be easy without Eon Energy. If they had to use their Eon Energy, they might be still able to last for several hundred kilometers.

But 1000?

If they didn't run out of Eon Energy in the middle, it would be a miracle.

The young man laughed when he saw Ye Jiao's awful expression. "It's just my estimation, but I don't know for sure."

"Right. Thank you."

Ye Jiao turned around and noticed that Qin Zheng was taking a weight from a nearby place. It must have weighed a lot based on the sound it made when Qin Zheng took it.

"Are you sure you can survive with it?"

"It's not that far," Qin Zheng pointed at the mountain before him. "Also, you should know that I have a much stronger body compared to other people. The teacher specifically requests for me to wear it."

It was not only Qin Zheng, but some other disciples were also using the weights. However, she could clearly sense that they must be at least Eon Energy Master Rank 4 based on the aura they exuded.

"Are you curious why there's no Eon Energy Master Rank 4 among the Elite Disciple?"

"Is it that obvious?"

Qin Zheng smiled. "If you really want to know, then I'll tell you. All of them have died."

Died?

The way Qin Zheng spoke of death was as if it was something extremely common. There was a trace of sadness in his eyes, but his lips were smiling faintly as if there was nothing wrong.

"Let's go. You won't be able to finish it before lunch if you dilly dally here."

Ye Jiao pushed the thoughts to the back of her mind as she began to run. She started at a moderate pace because she knew that it would be a long journey. Her Eon Energy circulated in her body as she ran on the road. A lot of other students passed by her, but Ye Jiao didn't pay them any heed.

Swish! Swish!

Time passed as all of them continued to run. After around an hour or so, Ye Jiao began to feel sudden pressure coming towards her. It started as light pressure, then it began to increase more and more. Her body instinctively used Eon Energy to keep on fighting against the pressure.

Time passed swiftly.

As the pressure increased, Ye Jiao could see a lot of other students were already slowing down. Some of them even walked because they didn't have the strength to keep on running.

"Oh, Ye Jiao, you're here?" Lin Cai waved a little when she saw Ye Jiao coming.

Ye Jiao smiled. "Senior Sister Lin. I didn't expect to see you here."

"I see."

"Don't worry about me and just continue. This kind of training is never my forte," Lin Cai sighed.

Ye Jiao wanted to laugh when she saw her pouting senior sister. The girl looked like a kid, so it was kind of cute and funny.

"I understand."

"Ah, but don't ever dream of catching up to Qin Zheng. That stinky brat is too fast."

"You sound like you don't like him, Senior Sister Lin."

"Who likes that arrogant and annoying brat? He's so annoying and has the capabilities to make everyone mad at him."

Ye Jiao didn't reply, but she had to agree that Lin Cai was correct. When she faced Qin Zheng, she had to make sure that she wouldn't punch him because his words were often too hurtful and annoying.

After a while, Ye Jiao found out that she was going faster than Lin Cai. "I'll be going first, Senior Sister Lin."

"Alright, good luck."

Ye Jiao kept on the same pace as she felt her Eon Energy being drained. It was hard to absorb more Eon Energy when she was running at this pace, so she gave up on the notion and just focused on controlling her Eon Energy to the fullest.

Hours passed.

'My Eon Energy ran out.'

Looking at the road before her plus the tremendous pressure on her back, Ye Jiao felt like crying. It was still morning, probably around 10 AM, but she hadn't even reached the peak. How could she finish in time for lunch like this?

*pant* *pant*

Relying on her physical body, Ye Jiao began to run while absorbing Eon Energy from her surroundings. It helped her to relieve her fatigue and at the same time, giving her the strength needed to reach the peak.

"Little brat, you need to be quicker."

Raising her head, Ye Jiao noticed that Qin Zheng was running in the opposite direction. Her jaw dropped. "You… you have reached the peak?"

"Of course," Qin Zheng's voice was calm. Even though his forehead was filled with beads of sweat, he doesn't look like he was exhausted.

"You didn't run out of Eon Energy?"

"I ran out a long time ago."

"…" you freak.

Qin Zheng smiled. "I would rather not have you curse me in your mind, little lass. Be quick if you don't want to be late for class."

Ye Jiao wished that she could punch that young man in his face. However, she had to admit that he had so much better physical condition compared to her. Even though he already ran out of Eon Energy, he still could run at high speed like that.

Time passed.

The moment Ye Jiao reached the peak, she could see a few other students nearby. They all didn't pay attention to her and just pressed their token on the wall before them. It seemed to be the identification.

Ye Jiao took out hers and pressed it on the wall. Warm Eon Energy passed into her body as she could hear a soft voice speaking out in her mind.

"First day training half complete."

Half…

Turning her body around, Ye Jiao utilized her Eon Energy and rushed to go down the mountain. In any case, she had to rush out quickly if she didn't wish to be late. At the same time, she tried to forget in her mind that she had to travel hundreds of kilometers just to return back to the mountain's foot.
