Chapter 1608 The Real Boot Camp(2)
The members of Eternal Lotuses soaked in the hot spring for two hours. By the time they emerged, not only had all traces of their exhaustion vanished, but they also felt stronger than they had at the start of the day.
When they returned to their residence, those who had quit or didn"t partic.i.p.ate in the boot camp were absolutely bewildered to see them so energetic.
"What the h.e.l.l? Why do you all look so energetic? You spent the entire day training at their boot camp, right? I was only there for four hours, but I am still exhausted!"
"Of course, we were exhausted. However, they had us bathe in a medicine bath at the Dragon Hot Spring, relieving us of all exhaustion in just two hours!"
"It not only made our exhaustion disappear, it even strengthened our bodies and boosted our cultivation!" "Dragon Hot Spring? There"s a hot spring here?"
"What?! Such a place exists?! I"m going to go bathe there right now!" Since the members that bathed in Yuan"s spiritual energy weren"t aware of the hot spring"s true nature, they didn"t stop the other members from rus.h.i.+ng to the Dragon Hot Spring.
When these members arrived at the hot spring and soaked in the water, they were baffled when they were still exhausted and nothing was happening.
"Were they messing with us because we didn"t partic.i.p.ate in the boot camp? This is just a normal hot spring!"
"Surely, they can"t be that petty."
"They called it a medicine bath, right? Perhaps they"d already absorbed all of the medicine." Someone there made a sound judgment.
"I guess the medicine bath is only a privilege for those who endured that h.e.l.lish training."
These members quickly left the hot spring after realizing that it had lost its healing effects, and most of them contemplated on giving the boot camp another chance.
Later that night, the Demon Sealing Faction had dinner together.
"Have you guys done any Faction Wars since our last one?" Yuan asked them.
"Who would dare to send us a challenge after what you did to the Fiery Garden of h.e.l.l?" w.a.n.g Ming shook his head.
"The Faction War scene has exploded in popularity and partic.i.p.ation because of the formation, though," Meifeng commented.
"Any movements from the Ten Great Families or the government?" Yuan then asked.
"No, they have been awfully silent. However, I was told by Manager Liya that there have been many people watching the Dragon Spiral Mountain."
"She"s not doing anything about it?" Yuan raised an eyebrow.
"She said that as long as they don"t enter the Dragon Spiral Mountain or cause trouble, they have no reason to act."
"Sounds fair." Yuan nodded.
"Actually… I have something to say." w.a.n.g Xiuying suddenly raised her hand. "What"s the matter?"
"I don"t know if this is related, but there"s been many people trying to contact me through my grandfather."
"Doctor w.a.n.g?" Yuan frowned slightly at this news.
"I wouldn"t think too deeply into it. After all, our exposure exploded after Yan Xiaoxiao"s interview was released." Xu Murong commented.
"Murong"s right. In fact, it would be weird if n.o.body tried to reach out to you." Hong Xiuquan said.
"I guess you"re right…" w.a.n.g Xiuying nodded.
"It"s never bad to be cautious," Yuan said.
He continued, "Speaking of Doctor w.a.n.g, how is he doing lately?"
"The same as usual, I guess. Ah, he started cultivating recently."
"Oh? Then I will need to send him some support." Yuan said.
Although it was a job, Doctor w.a.n.g looked out for him since childhood. If it weren"t for Doctor w.a.n.g, he might"ve died before Cultivation Online came out.
"It"s okay. I have already sent him some pills and resources to help with his cultivation." w.a.n.g Xiuying said.
"Still, I should—"
"Trust me, it"s fine." w.a.n.g Xiuying interrupted. "I bet you"re going to give him valuable resources, correct? His cultivation is too low to even use them. You can help him once he increases his cultivation a little more, okay?"
"If you say so…" Yuan nodded.
Later that night, Yuan and Meixiu spent the night together in Meixiu"s old room while Chu Liuxiang slept alone.
After spending several hours pa.s.sionately embracing each other, Yuan commented on her physique at the end, "I can tell that you"ve been training really hard. Your body is incomparably st.u.r.dier than before."
"Huh?! Is my body that hard?!" Meixiu began panicking, worried that she"d tempered her body too much.
Yuan chuckled and said, "I didn"t mean literally. Your body is still very soft and pleasing to touch, so there"s no need to worry."
Meixiu blushed at such words.
The next day, when the Demon Sealing Faction arrived for the second day of boot camp, they were pleasantly surprised to find that many of the partic.i.p.ants who had quit the previous day had returned, ready to continue their training.
"What happened? What made you change your heart?" s.h.i.+ Lang asked them.
These returning partic.i.p.ants explained that they were motivated to rejoin after seeing the significant improvements their peers had made after just one day of training. "I"m glad to hear that you"ll give it another chance, but actions speak louder than words. With that said, no matter how many times you quit, we won"t stop you from returning." w.a.n.g Ming said.
They started training shortly after, with the second day proving even more intense than the first. Many of those who had quit on the first day found themselves unable to withstand the increased rigor, while those who had endured the initial day"s challenges barely managed to hold on through the entire session.
Surprisingly, by the end of the second day, a higher number of partic.i.p.ants completed the training compared to the first day. Although the increase was modest, it was still an impressive achievement, given the heightened intensity of the day"s challenges.
Soon, they were rewarded by the spiritual hot spring.
"Wow! This is even better than I antic.i.p.ated! I"m so glad I held on!" One of the partic.i.p.ants who had quit on the first day exclaimed after experiencing the hot spring.
"Instructor w.a.n.g, only those who have endured the training can enjoy this luxury, correct?" Another asked.
"That"s right. Those who quit won"t be allowed in here." w.a.n.g Bingbing confirmed.
