However, their s were squelched The school had et whatever he wanted Every order, no e or unpalatable, was to be carried out to the letter The school treated the for other work They comforted the to really hurt their students
Ten minutes later

A large and fleshy figure leaped out fro droplets in every which direction His whole body was bright pink like a boiled shrimp’s
Before the bulky silhouette could entirely escape froht back down
Splash The stout body belly-flopped back in to the scalding water Their pitiful cries abruptly fell silent
A few seconds later, like a cresting wale, the fat body returned to the surface screaain he was subed
“Ahhh! I’iven words, this tiic The fat student made no further attempts to extricate themselves fro waters
Tang Xiao’s fat head bobbed on the surface, contorted in pain
Tang Xiao wasn’t the strongest of those ere electrocuted and injected today wang Hongyuan, the seventh-ranked adept that he was, took that title What he did possess, however, was better endurance than the rest of them, and a faster recovery speed
Part of this was due to his metalmorphosis Discipline, certainly But more than that, his resistance was a result of the terrible beatings he was receiving daily from Mika
He’d been knocked out a few dozen times at least by this point, so he was the first to pop out of it today
Of course Tang Xiao desperately wished that wasn’t the case If he were unconscious, he at least couldn’t feel this excruciating pain
The scalding waters caused hilistened with tears He glared through the burning drops at the stoic, golden-masked Lan Jue

“Ahh! It’s too !” The poor child whined and writhes incessantly, but Lan Jue made no move to save him He had no desire to make it stop just yet
“It’s tooXiao whined at his Master “Professor, I can’t handle it!”
Finally, Lan Jue responded, though his voice was chilly and disht discoh the rest of the training? Keep shouting, but it’ll only waste energy Where I you, I’d be focusing on the changes inPain is the best way to temper oneself Enjoy it”
Tang Xiao said nothing further, after all he understood his Master on some level He knew the type of person that he was If there was one thing he knew absolutely, it was that nothing he could say would make this situation better Behave, and endure That’s all he could do
With his deterrit his teeth, and focused on the pain What he discovered was that, somehow, the needle his teacher had inserted within hi away his Discipline No matter how he tried to pull it forth, to protect him from the terrible waters, no poould answer He truly had no choice but to bear it on his own
Lan Jue’s voice rang in his ears, over and over This is your last chance You can’t back out Last chance Tang Xiao understood, nohy he’d said it so many times
The needles and lightning were just the beginning, and now the hot pool This was the training! They were there for one purpose – to experience the torhteen levels of hell
But despite the terrible situation he found hiiven the opportunity to change his h, that he wouldn’t hesitate
