Who told him to rush up there?.

Chapter 161 Treat everyone equally

"That's right. I treat you all equally and I won't show partiality to any one of you."

Looking at Princess Lina's dazed and confused expression, Eli answered seriously.

Even though you are only a seventh-rank fire magician now, in your previous life you have achieved the dual sainthood of martial arts and magic. Although you cannot be compared with the top strong men, your combat power is also extraordinary.

Moreover, the talent that Princess Lina showed in her previous life after practicing martial arts was obviously stronger than magic. She was a natural warrior and should not be so weak.

"Although it sounds fair, I always feel like you are teasing me."

Princess Lina looked at Jessica and Cecilia, who were breathing long, and then looked at Eleanor, who was small but full of strength. If it weren't for the delicate Evelyn accompanying her, she would really think that Eli was deliberately conditioning her.

"You are a pure magician, your body is too weak. The battle with the demons will be more intense. When you are ready for battle, not only must your magic power keep up, but your physical strength must not lag behind."

What Eli said was the true situation that would inevitably happen in the future. As the demons gradually recovered from the violent attack of the elves, their counterattack would be extremely fierce and intense.

In many future battlefields, the demons may no longer care so much about the gains and losses of a city or a pool. Their main goal will be to destroy the vitality of hundreds of races, just like what Eli did to the demons before.

Many of the subsequent major battles will be protracted, and a skirmish will often last for more than ten days. This will not only test the soldiers' combat effectiveness and morale, but also their physical strength and spirit.

The demons do not know magic, but they have innate physical advantages. Even the strongest orcs among the hundreds of races cannot compare to them. If they cannot enhance their physical fitness, future battles will be more difficult than they are now.

Fortunately, it is a consensus among all races that the demons have stronger physiques. All races have long been consciously strengthening their soldiers' bodies. It's just that since historical records, magicians have usually been synonymous with weak bodies, and because magicians are now extremely weak, no one will force them to strengthen their bodies, just like in ancient times of Blue Star, no matter how chaotic the war was, scholars would not be forced to lift a tripod.

"I approve of exercising, but can you take it step by step and not start with such a high intensity?"

Princess Lina was not an unreasonable person. She also knew that a magician's body was weak and it was necessary to strengthen his physical fitness. However, Eli's training plan for the first day was so scary that she was not sure she could complete the training task.

"Yes, yes. Let's try reducing the number of reps from 100 to 30, and then running 3 kilometers should be about right."

After Princess Lina raised her objection, Evelyn nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, while reporting the level of training she felt she could achieve.

"Sweat more in training, bleed less in battle. I'm doing this for your own good. If you feel the training plan is difficult to complete in one go, then divide it into two steps. Complete half in the morning and the other half in the afternoon. You two won't practice extra in the evening. How about Jessica, Cecilia, and Eleanor have five more actual combat sparring matches?"

Although he didn't want to see his woman suffer, if he wanted to become stronger, he couldn't neglect daily practice even if there were shortcuts. Otherwise, no matter how strong she was, it would only be on the surface. If a bloody battle really broke out, the one with weak strength would definitely suffer.

The resources in Eli's hands could quickly bring them to the peak of the ninth level, leaving them with only one final push to become a saint. However, the strength gained in that way could not withstand the test of reality, as any strong person of the same level who had cultivated himself could slaughter them.

Eli himself is the product of accumulated resources, and he suffered losses in this regard. Although he killed high-level demons like crushing ants and beheaded demon kings like slaughtering chickens and dogs, he even had the strength to participate in the battle to kill the big demon king and actually killed him.

But what kind of strength did Eli possess at that time? A soul close to that of a true god, a martial arts realm above a demigod, a physique not inferior to that of a true god, and of course, the Saint-level fighting spirit that held him back.

Apart from his lack of divinity and his particularly weak fighting spirit, which of his stats is not the best among the best? If a passionate novel hero were to come, even if he only had one of his top-notch stats, he would be able to fight across levels in a matter of minutes, slaughter the big devil, or even challenge the devil god alone.

But when it comes to Eli, he can only use his power to suppress others and bully the weak with his strength, such as jumping levels or something, uh, let's talk about it later...

Anyway, I am invincible at the moment, slightly...

“Didn’t you say that we should be treated equally? Then why are Cecilia and the others training extra, but Evelin and I aren’t? We’ll train, but after you’re done, you have to practice with us in person!”

Princess Lina is indeed an innate demon-killing saint who is determined to go to the battlefield and kill the demons with her own hands. When she heard Eli's words about sweating more during training and bleeding less during fighting, she became excited. She stopped complaining about the difficulty and directly pulled up Evelyn, who looked confused, and began to imitate the movements that Eli had demonstrated before.

"But... you didn't even ask for my opinion..."

After being pulled by Princess Lina to do several push-ups, Evelin spoke to her weakly.

"It doesn't matter. There's no harm in keeping fit. When your body is strong, you can play a greater role on the battlefield."

Princess Lina buried her head and did some unorthodox push-ups while speaking to the aggrieved Evelyn.

“Is… is that so? Then Evelin can’t hold us back…”

Evelyn continued to do push-ups that were even more standard than Princess Lina's. However, she was still confused. As a necromancer, she was different from a fire mage who had to go into battle in person. Wasn't her main attack method to drive undead creatures to fight? Could she summon more creatures when she was strong? Forget it. Since she, a princess of the empire, had trained obediently, how could I, the daughter of a duchy earl, be arrogant and disobedient? Don't make Eli unhappy.

It must be said that although Princess Lina and Evelyn are both pure magicians, they are both born into wealthy families after all. They have been living a life of luxury since childhood. Although their bodies are delicate, they are not lacking in nutrition.

Compared to civilian magicians, their physical fitness is pretty good and their basic conditions are quite good. As long as they exercise more, they will soon become strong.

Of course, it is also possible that they cannot become strong, just like Jessica and Cecilia. They have been training since they were young, but they have almost no muscles on their bodies. However, their physical strength is better than each other, and even Eli has to spend a lot of effort to make them weak.

Not to mention Eleanor, this girl uses a heavy war hammer and has an exaggerated strength, but she doesn't have any bulging muscles on her body. She looks like a cute little loli.

Supervised by Eli himself, Jessica and Cecilia, who were already accustomed to this kind of training, were the first to complete all the exercises except running. Following them was Eleanor, who was only a few minutes slower than Jessica and Cecilia.

The next thing he looked at was the most delicate Evelin. Although she was exhausted and out of breath, she did finish the series of movements ten minutes faster than Princess Lina.

They are two delicate French beauties, but they can actually do 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, and 100 squats in one breath. Even a normal adult low-level warrior would have difficulty completing this intensity.

It can only be said that the little blue pill played an indispensable role. It not only helped the two women break through to a higher level, but also improved their cultivation talent and physical fitness. If they didn't practice, they wouldn't know. Once they practiced, they would be shocked.

Beforehand, they had no confidence that they could complete these movements. Now, after all the hard work, although they felt their bodies were exhausted, they should be able to finish the remaining ten kilometers after a rest.

When he saw that they had completed the action, Eli nodded with satisfaction. Especially when he saw that Evelyn had completed the task earlier than Princess Lina, even the calm Eli showed a surprised expression.

You have to know that Princess Lina is a genius who can achieve the dual saint level of martial arts and magic. Her martial arts talent must be stronger than most of her peers. But how come Evelyn, who was never famous in the world in her previous life, looks a little stronger than Princess Lina in martial arts talent?
Could it be that Evelyn in her previous life and Evelyn in this life both chose the wrong path? Perhaps she was not suited to practicing necromancy at all. She should have just used her staff to chop people...

However, since he has discovered that Evelyn has a certain future in physical sanctification, Eli will naturally not waste her talent. He should formulate a more rigorous training plan for her next. However, in order to treat everyone equally, Princess Lina has to suffer as well.

Evelyn and Princess Lina, who were panting at the moment, didn't know Eli's "evil" plan yet. They just wanted to rest for a while and finish the missing ten kilometers. Hum, it didn't seem that difficult...

Later in the evening, the figure of Eli running in circles in the Duke's Mansion with five beautiful girls became a beautiful landscape, attracting the attention of everyone along the way. Fortunately, the Duke's Mansion was large enough for them to give full play to their talents, otherwise if they ran out of the mansion, Eli's abuse of Her Royal Highness the Princess would not be concealed.

In fact, when they had just run the first lap, Duke and Duchess Bruno, who had heard the news, rushed over to stop them. Princess Lina was a daughter of a wealthy family, how could they let her suffer such hardship?
Besides, Princess Lina has such an outstanding figure, she doesn't need to lose any weight. If she accidentally loses weight in places where she shouldn't, wouldn't that be harming her?
Besides Princess Lina, I'm afraid the weak Evelyn couldn't stand running like this? And the little Eleanor, she was so cute and young, how could Eli bear to let her run?

As for Eli and his two little followers, have they never run around the mansion since they were little? It's not a big deal for them to run around.

However, even if Duke and Duchess Bruno personally stepped in, they still failed to interrupt Eli's special training plan. Although Duke Bruno was the head of the family, unfortunately, Eli was already an adult. According to imperial law, he was an independent individual who could decide his own affairs.

The most important thing is that whether it is Princess Lina, Evelyn, or Eleanor, they all expressed that they are willing to exercise and strengthen their physical fitness. They are willing to do so, and Duke and Duchess Bruno cannot force them to do so.

So, the beautiful scenery in the Duke's Mansion continued to run, and Eli followed behind them. However, in the eyes of others, he was like a big pervert chasing the flock of sheep... no, it was a big bad wolf. It always felt that once a little lamb fell behind, the big bad wolf would pounce on it, skin it into a little white lamb and enjoy it.

Fortunately, the crowd watching them run in circles, although it didn't look easy, they could still hold on, and no one really fell behind after many laps. The Duke and Duchess of Bruno tried to persuade them to no avail, and seeing that they could hold on, they simply let go and let the young people do whatever they wanted...

After the crowd gradually dispersed, Eli chased more vigorously. Under his stimulation, the lambs in front also sped up, and before they knew it, they had run the required amount.

After Eli announced that the mission was accomplished and everyone could rest, Jessica and Cecilia still maintained their calm demeanor without blushing or breathing heavily, which made Princess Lina and Evelyn very envious.

As for Eleanor, it can only be said that she is worthy of being an alien species born with supernatural powers. Her small body is really durable. Even though her current level is lower than Jessica and Cecilia, in this kind of physical training, her performance is not inferior to the two female bodyguards.

It seems that the reason why she was a few minutes slower than Jessica and Cecilia in doing push-ups, sit-ups and squats was not because of physical disadvantage, but mostly because she was not familiar with the movements. This little girl is in really good shape. I will have to check her out when I have time.

"No, I'm so sticky and uncomfortable. Eli, where can I take a shower here? I have to take a shower."

She didn't complain about the hardship or tiredness when she was exercising just now, but now that it was over, Princess Lina started to cry out instead. Her face was covered with sweat, and the invisible parts of her body were probably soaked. Even her originally upright cat ears were drooping, but her long and slender tail was shaking back and forth, and she seemed to still have some energy.

Like Princess Lina, Evelyn was in a similar state at the moment and urgently needed a nice bath to restore her spirit and strength. However, unlike Princess Lina who asked, Evelyn had her own residence in the Duke's Palace, so she had a place to take a bath.

"Everyone has worked hard. The training mission has been completed ahead of schedule. Then go back and take a good shower. I'll call you at lunch time. As for you, Lina, come with me. My bathroom is quite big..."

Eli said, waving goodbye to the well-behaved pretty girls, then reached out to stop Princess Lina who wanted to follow Eleanor and pulled her into his arms.
