Godslayer: Aizen Template, I will stand in the heavens!

"Li Lian, are you not being suppressed? You can still use the Forbidden Ruins?"

Lin Qiye was also startled by Li Lian's speed.

"Suppression? I don't feel anything."

By the way, the instructors said that from the beginning of training, they would use a forbidden item to suppress the recruits' weaknesses, allowing everyone to fully concentrate on physical training.

Most of the new recruits were already exhausted from running with 30 pounds of weight on their backs after the Forbidden City was destroyed.

Li Lian checked the state of his body's Flowing Blade Like Fire and Deathly Hallows Armor, confirming that he was not being suppressed by the so-called Forbidden Ruins.

That makes sense, since what I'm using isn't a forbidden realm at all, and it's completely different from everyone else's power system. It would be a miracle if I could suppress them.

But I can't just say it out loud, or people will think I'm a freak.

So Li Lian decided to shift his focus, "Seven Nights, your Forbidden Ruins should still be usable, right?"

Lin Qiye did not hide the fact that he could still use a portion of the Forbidden Ruins. "I can use it, but it is still suppressed, and the effect is much worse."

"That must be a problem with the Divine Ruins, and the higher the cultivation level, the less suppression one experiences." Li Lian revealed a smug smile.

"It's normal for a handsome guy like me, who is both a cultivator from the Divine Ruins and a realm higher than you, not to feel much suppression. That's perfectly reasonable!"

Everyone: (?︵?)凸

I was worried about him for nothing. It would be a miracle if anything happened to that bastard!

The recruits' physical abilities varied. Those with good stamina finished the run in half an hour, while Baili Pangpang, who had the worst stamina, barely managed to run ten laps within an hour, even with Li Lian pulling and dragging him along.

"Master, I'm... I'm about to die from running! Let me... let me rest for a bit!"

Ever since Li Lian jokingly said he would teach Baili Pangpang how to pick up girls, Baili Pangpang has been calling Li Lian "Master." Li Lian has made it clear that he refuses this title, since true masters always have the heart of an apprentice.

But if you insist on treating me with such respect, there's nothing I can do!

"Good brother, I'm not trying to harm you. This kind of training isn't even that intense. Your physical condition is among the worst in the average person. If you don't train properly, the instructors will kill you in the next six months!"

Li Lian said in a serious tone that he really hoped Baili Pangpang could exercise properly, otherwise he would suffer a great loss even if he fell in love in the future!

Adults all know that the most important parts for men are their core and lower body! Anyone who trains them knows!

He reached out and pulled the limp Baili Pangpang up from the ground, helping him relax his muscles, and said earnestly to Baili Pangpang:

"I suggest you ask the head instructor for something that can help you recover your strength quickly, so that you can do physical training more easily."

"Actually, we have some super-effective exercise products at home that can quickly restore physical strength, but after the recovery, all the effects of the exercise are gone. If there were an easier way to exercise, would I have gotten this fat?"

Baili Pangpang's body was as limp as an overcooked noodle; if Li Lian hadn't been supporting him, he would have collapsed to the ground again.

The instructor saw that Baili Pangpang, who was in last place, had also completed ten laps of weighted running with Li Lian's help, and nodded in satisfaction.

He glanced at the still-dark sky and addressed all the new recruits:

"Alright, warm-up complete. Now you can go back to sleep. Dismissed!"

New recruits: (?_?)

This is ridiculous!

Lin Qiye and the others were fine after running ten laps, especially Lin Qiye, who could still use some of the forbidden energy; it was really just a warm-up.

However, Baili Pangpang had difficulty even walking, and it was Li Lian and Lin Qiye who carried him back to the dormitory. As soon as they put him on the bed, Baili Pangpang fell asleep immediately.

Looking at Baili Pangpang, who was already snoring loudly, Li Lian and Lin Qiye exchanged a glance and shook their heads helplessly.

Just as Li Lian was about to return to his dormitory, the assembly whistle blew again!

Beep beep beep—!!!

Baili Pangpang, who was already fast asleep, suddenly sprang up out of bed with a "duang" sound, seemingly finding strength from somewhere.

Lin Qiye and Li Lian were both dumbfounded. This fat guy was something else... well, at least he had good elasticity.

Baili Pangpang's brisk pace along the way shocked many people. They couldn't understand why the fat man, who had just been struggling to run ten laps with a heavy load, was now so energetic.

"Li Lian, this Baili Pangpang guy..."

"That's impressive! During the meeting, he even said that besides having a few forbidden items, he didn't have any forbidden ruins."

Li Lian and Lin Qiye whispered to Ququ Baili Pangpang behind his back, "Something's not right about this guy. Either he's hiding his true strength, or he's about to awaken his forbidden power."

Upon arriving at the training ground, aside from a few who were physically unable to keep up and fell halfway down the track, requiring them to be carried away on stretchers, all the remaining recruits reached the training ground within three minutes.

The lead instructor smiled slightly as he watched the new recruits assemble so quickly.

"That's not bad. Most of the members arrived within three minutes. Now you can go to the cafeteria for lunch. You only have twenty minutes. After twenty minutes, whether you're full or not, get out of the cafeteria and come to the training ground to assemble. Do you understand?"

"I understand..."

"I didn't hear you, speak louder!"

"I understand!!!"

"Okay! Disband!"

Li Lian thought the Night Watch instructors were quite capable; yesterday they had practically demolished the canteen, leaving only a pit, yet in just a few hours they were able to rebuild it into a brand-new canteen.

From a distance, even the warehouse looks finished! But the pit over there is even bigger!

I don't know if there are any supplies inside. It would be nice to have another chance to buy something for free.

There's a master among the Night's Watch!

As soon as the instructor dismissed them, all the new recruits ran quickly toward the canteen, especially Baili Pangpang, whose eyes were gleaming with greed as he sprinted away!

But when they arrived at the cafeteria, everyone was stunned. All they found in front of them was a large bowl of steamed buns and a large bowl of raw meat.

"What does this mean? Are you telling us to eat the meat without even cleaning it?"

"Exactly! These days, chefs make so much money. I wonder if it's too late to apply for a job now."

……

Regardless of what the new recruits thought, Li Lian took the lead and was the first to act. He put a steamed bun and a piece of raw meat on a plate and sat down at the table.

After Li Lian settled down, he noticed that Lin Qiye and Shen Qingzhu were all motionless, staring at him with confused expressions.

"Go get it, one serving each. Are you all worried about eating raw meat with me? Have you forgotten what I do?"

Upon hearing Li Lian's words, everyone suddenly understood. They promptly stepped forward, grabbed a portion of food, and sat down next to Li Lian.

Then Li Lian started taking things out of Soul Society: frying pans, large iron pots, spatulas, bottled water, portable stoves, various seasonings, refrigerated vegetables, and so on.

The table in front of them was almost full.

"Hehe, nobody said you can't cook for yourself in the cafeteria!"

Today, your cooking enthusiast, Brother Li, will show you what it's like to have a friend who loves to cook.

I guarantee you'll eat until you swallow your tongue!
