First day back.
Under the guidance of the Key of Gate, all the Knight Reserves arrived at the training base.
It was Qing Chen who called them here. He wanted the reserves to witness him challenge a life-and-death trial. Wing Suit Flying is one of the hardest among all the life-and-death trials. Even on the Knight’s Road stretching over a thousand years, about 30% of people have died during this challenge.
The knight predecessors had plenty of ti. Their long lifespans allowed them to slowly tackle challenges, failing one year and trying again the next. Once they beca like fish in water in the air, everything would fall into place.
However, Qing Chen and the reserves do not have that luxury of ti, so he wanted the reserves to understand what a life-and-death trial truly involved.
On this day,
Qing Chen attempted Wing Suit Flying six tis.
He crashed into a cliff once, suffering 17 fractures. Da Yu used the Death Shroud to heal him, and an hour later, Qing Chen erged from the shroud and boarded the helicopter to set off again.
Chen Zhuoqu, Hu Xiaoniu, and Hu Jingyi held binoculars in a daze: "Is Master really this ruthless?"
"I just saw his arm twisted irregularly!"
"Even if the Death Shroud can heal fractures, the pain is still real."
And most importantly, when crashing into the cliff, the external abrasions on the body cannot be healed with the Death Shroud.
When Qing Chen stepped onto the helicopter again, they finally realized they were too slow, and the hardships they endured were not enough.
This was the reason why they had only passed the fourth life-and-death trial up to now.
Everyone always hoped that their life-and-death trials could be more secure, ensuring a higher probability of success. More secure and more certain.
But uncertainty is the romance that the Knight’s Road pursues.
Chen Zhuoqu turned around and walked back to the training base. Xiao Qi asked behind her, "Hey, where are you going?"
Chen Zhuoqu calmly said, "I want to learn parachuting, learn the theoretical knowledge first."
"What? Right now?" Xiao Qi scratched his head, "You’re not watching?"
"I’m not watching. That kind of ruthlessness from Master I can’t learn or emulate, but he has his path, and I have mine. Half his ruthlessness, and half his effort is enough for ," said Chen Zhuoqu.
Xiao Qi chuckled helplessly, "That’s too urgent."
Chen Zhuoqu said, "When is the best ti to start a journey? Either yesterday, or now."
Xiao Qi asked with a silly smile, "Want to have lunch together?"
Chen Zhuoqu paused: "Okay."
At this ti, the helicopter brought back Qing Chen, who had failed again, to the training base for lunch.
Upon finishing and about to leave, Da Yu called out, "Wait, I just saw you seed to be injured in a fall, don’t you need to use the Death Shroud?"
He looked at Da Yu with a smile and said, "Although I got injured this ti, I don’t need the shroud for now, just a broken rib. I’ll wait until the evening, otherwise I’ll waste daylight, and it’s easier to train with good visibility during the day than at night."
Da Yu was taken aback by his words, standing outside the cabin looking at Qing Chen entering the cabin: "Aren’t you worried about your life? If you keep going like this, you’ll end up dead. This ti it’s good you only hit the rib, but what if you hit your head soday? Then this Death Shroud would beco a real ’Corpse Wrapping Cloth.’"
Qing Chen turned, standing in the whirring noise of the rotor, shouting with a smile: "I have no retreat. If I don’t ascend to Demigod this ti, I’ll die when I go back."
Da Yu was silent, even though Qing Chen said taking power was not for him, he was the direct beneficiary.
Facing a Demigod as an A-Class, yet still able to laugh so freely, this was sothing Da Yu couldn’t achieve.
Da Yu asked, "Is there no other way? Didn’t you say earlier you could use Thunder Light Shadow Making, as long as you keep dodging his strikes?"
Qing Chen chuckled: "The lightning strikes are limited in number. Based on the thunder pulp within my body, it might only last three hours. After those three hours, I would still be found and killed by his eight Demigod paintings. You also know how terrifying Water God Gonggong’s power is, that King water can cover the ground, preventing from moving freely."
That King water is extrely corrosive, and if Qing Chen steps into it, his feet will rot imdiately, followed by flesh and bones.
Qing Chen continued: "And besides, no one has seen what cards Chen Yu still has up his sleeve. What if he has tattoos on his chest and two thighs? It doesn’t have to be just on his arms."
Da Yu knew what Qing Chen said was true.
The reason he isn’t fully tattooed is because he’s not a Demigod yet, so there’s no need, but Chen Yu definitely has more.
The line of the Chen Clan Family Head has always treated Chen Yu as a presud enemy, so they even calculated the speed of his paintings ticulously.
During this ti, Chen Yu has shut himself away for a long ti, but the number of paintings never matched... four were missing.
These four should all be on Chen Yu.
Now, Water God Gonggong has appeared, and the ones on his legs are likely Fire God Zhu Rong.
As the saying goes, water and fire are rciless. Water and fire are shapeless. Zhu Rong and Gonggong are the Chen Clan’s Demigod’s strongest indiscriminate attack abilities, any of which can destroy an entire brigade-level unit.
Da Yu paused for a mont and said: "But if you die in the Outer World, everything will be gone. Your power, your wealth, the strength and level you’ve painstakingly cultivated."
Qing Chen’s gaze suddenly moved past him, looking at Hu Jingyi behind him, and he said with a smile: "Life is just getting started. If I can’t die, let’s keep moving forward."
