At this moment, Li Pu, who is still running, feels very joyful.

Because activating the skill "Sprint" feels like swimming or riding a bike—once you learn it, you never forget.

In other words, he has at least initially mastered the skill "Sprint."

With more practice, he'll use it more and more smoothly in the future.

And if he develops the dual-force driving technique Li Fan mentioned, he might really achieve double effects, meaning double the speed.

"Sprint" has a time limit; its duration varies depending on the summoner's proficiency.

Currently, Li Pu's "Sprint" can only be maintained for a few dozen seconds, and once the acceleration effect wears off, he returns to Li Fan's side.

Clatacla, clatacla, clatacla...!

However, when standing, his right foot continues to scrape.

"..., shall I help you take it off?"

Since Li Pu has learned "Sprint," Li Fan thinks there's no need to keep wearing this thing anymore.

The only way to stop the gear on the foot of the land-wandering iron is to destroy it.

But destroying the foot gear without hurting anyone is skilled work.

Luckily, Li Fan has good technique and quickly helped Li Pu take it off.

"Rest for a bit, and later you can try activating 'Sprint' again without any assistance."

Li Fan patted Li Pu's shoulder, indicating for him to sit down.

Using a summoner's skill consecutively in a short time puts a heavy mental burden.

Since there's still plenty of class time today, Li Pu has ample time to practice, and Li Fan can continue guiding him.

Li Pu's progress is smooth, but things aren't going as well for Wu Guinan.

Somehow, Senior Jiang managed to attach an IV bottle to him while running.

Wu Guinan carries the iron stand supporting the IV, ensuring he doesn't get low blood sugar while running—a sign he's prepared for a long battle.

"Do you still remember the different kind of 'Sprint' I demonstrated last time in the valley?"

Click.

Li Fan sat down next to Li Pu and lit up a cigarette.

"I remember."

Li Pu nodded.

At that time, Li Fan's "Sprint" had piercing and electric effects; when passing through the beast, it seemed like striking with a bolt of lightning, very powerful.

Li Fan: "Want to learn it?"

Li Pu: "Of course, I do."

Li Fan: "If you get first place in this monthly exam, I'll teach you. How about that?"

Li Pu: "Sure."

Even though he doesn't know the specific contents of the monthly exam, Li Pu agrees straight away.

During the ensuing class time, Li Pu continues practicing the activation of "Sprint."

With Li Fan's occasional tips and guidance, he has initially grasped the knack for quick activation.

While he couldn't instantly activate it at will, he now only spends 3 to 4 seconds to start it.

On the other hand, Wu Guinan, who previously led in summoner's power, still hasn't made any progress and hasn't successfully activated for the first time.

In a different situation, Jiang Guiju might question Li Fan's teaching method.

After all, when she learned "Sprint" herself, her teacher employed a gradual approach.

Most people in their class spent 8 class periods—essentially a whole month—before they first activated "Sprint."

Jiang Guiju herself was more talented, taking two weeks to master it from the first class.

But seeing Li Pu's successful example, she knows the current method is definitely feasible.

However, poor Wu Guinan, who knows how long he must keep running.

Looking at Li Fan's determined attitude, it seems like there are only two outcomes.

One is Wu Guinan learning "Sprint," the other is him breaking his leg or spoiling his shoes.

Since class time was over, Li Pu didn't wait for Wu Guinan, who might not finish anytime soon.

He took the straw man and hurriedly headed towards the South Forest.

Teaching the straw man the C-level "Sprint" requires spending 10,000 Crystal Coins.

Currently, he's short, significantly far from the goal.

The money from the last trip to the Little Yama Realm was mostly used to merge the "Will Antibody."

During the second visit to retrieve the straw man, Li Pu tried to hunt but barely found any beasts.

Perhaps if not attracted by the power of Little Bai's reincarnation, usually the beasts there would be in hiding.

Since he learned "Sprint," his mental state is quite excited.

So, Li Pu hunted overnight in the South Forest and returned fully loaded.

After selling everything at the trading station, he earned—500 Crystal Coins.

There's nothing he can do; that's about the limit of his earning efficiency under normal luck.

One must know that this time he had the "Sprint" and straw man's assistance, or he'd earn even less.

This is why he temporarily doesn't dare to pursue the "Godzilla's Power"; even 500 Crystal Coins a day would take 1000 days of grinding.

He originally returned to the dormitory intending to rest, only to find Wu Guinan hadn't come back.

Thinking it over, Li Pu decided to bring some breakfast to the training field.

Entering yesterday's training arena, he found Wu Guinan still running.

The good news is, at least he's starting to control the direction a little.

Currently, he runs laps around the field, no longer needing help with steering.

Turtle Turtle is at the corner, shrunk, seemingly asleep.

"Grass!"

The straw man saw this and immediately ran over to play with his little brother.

"Ran all night, huh? Really determined."

As Wu Guinan ran past, Li Pu noticed his haggard look and glazed eyes.

Even when they were closest, less than 5 meters apart, the other didn't notice his arrival.

As for Li Fan, he lay with his hands behind his head, facing up in the field center.

The piled-up cigarette butts nearby indicated he hadn't left all night.

"Here?"

Li Pu's footsteps prompted Li Fan to open his eyes.

"How's he doing, teacher?"

Li Pu concerned about Wu Guinan's progress.

"Pretty good."

Li Fan lit another cigarette and glanced at Wu Guinan.

"He was too loud the first half of the night, couldn't sleep well."

Li Pu: "What about the second half of the night?"

Li Fan: "The second half, he lost his voice."

Li Pu: "..., I knew it."

The two continued eating breakfast, watching Wu Guinan run circles, shortly after Jiang Guiju arrived at the training field.

This time, Jiang Guiju wasn't alone; a spiky mouse perched on her shoulder.

However, she seemed a little worried, troubled by something.

"Teacher, it's tough on you. How's he...?"

Jiang Guiju, upon arriving, also pointed at Wu Guinan.

"Don't mind him, let him keep running."

Li Fan waved his hand: "It's often in such extreme states that one gains insight into activating 'Sprint.'"
