“No problem.” The Rat King nodded in agreement. “Warrior, please let me down first. I will lead the way for you. It’s not far. It should take about five days to get there.”

Five days? That's alright.

Mu Qingyun squatted down and put her hand down. The Rat King flipped over and jumped off her hand, landing steadily on the ground.

“Let’s go,” she said, turning to look at Kazel, who was still staring intently at the Rat King, and chuckled. “Don’t stare at him like that. He’s here to show us the way and lead us to the exit.”

Should we let this fat mouse lead the way?

Kazel looked at the Rat King, who just happened to look up and meet his gaze.

Those frighteningly red eyes, and the corners of his mouth—if he wasn't mistaken, those corners of his mouth were curled into a smile.

A rat was laughing at him, and it was laughing in such a... disgusting way.

grass!

Kazel immediately looked away, unwilling to watch any longer.

He's not afraid of rats, he's just disgusting.

The two men followed the mouse all night, and as dawn broke, they cleared a space on the ground and began to rest.

Mu Qingyun was unwilling to stop and continued to work overtime to cultivate her mental strength.

The third test is a concentrated assessment of mental strength. Those who pass will be directly admitted to the military academy, while those who fail will leave. The entire process will be broadcast live and can be seen throughout the universe.

She had her own plan, and on the day of the plan, she was going to slap Mu Jingfeng and Mu Xueyao in the face!

Kazel neither slept nor cultivated. He looked at the Rat King sitting in front of Mu Qingyun, staring at him without moving. He felt disgusted and worried that the Rat King would crawl on him while he was asleep.

And so, a mermaid and a mouse stared at each other all day long, seemingly waiting for the other to rest, but in the end, neither of them was able to rest.

Rat King: This person can really endure! I, the Rat King, am impressed.

Kazel: Why is this fat rat staring at him? Doesn't it ever get a break?

Mu Qingyun opened her eyes. The surroundings had become dark; it was night.

“Let’s go.” She stood up, turned to look at Kazel, only to find that Kazel was staring at the Rat King in front of her, and the Rat King was also staring intently at him.

What are these two doing?

"Let's go!" She activated her plant-based powers again. This time, the Rat King heard her, turned his head to look at her, and nodded.

She ran forward with small steps, then turned her gaze to Kazel, whose eyes had dark circles.

"Let's go." She reached out and grabbed Kazel's arm, pulling him up with a sudden jerk. "Wake up, let's go."

Kazel closed his eyes briefly, then suddenly opened them again, propped himself up on his hands, and followed behind her.

After walking for half the night, Kazel was almost at his limit. He hadn't slept all night and had to concentrate intensely, so he was really struggling to keep up.

His consciousness seeped into his sea of ​​consciousness, and he used his mental strength to force himself to stay focused, managing to keep up with Mu Qingyun's pace.

He frowned as he looked at the rat king leading the way. How could this fat rat have so much energy? He had been watching him all night, and it was still so energetic today!

I forced myself to walk for a while longer, and finally, dawn broke.

You can rest now.

Upon hearing this idea, Kazel immediately deflated. Even moving the rubble was done by Mu Qingyun alone. As soon as a clearing was made, he sat down on the ground.

He immersed himself entirely in his sea of ​​consciousness and began cultivating.

Anyway, this rat is Mu Qingyun's friend and is cultivating in his sea of ​​consciousness. Out of respect for Mu Qingyun, this fat rat won't harm him.

The Rat King was the same; it couldn't take it anymore. Just as exhausted as Kazel, it didn't even have the strength to call its underlings over and collapsed right next to Mu Qingyun.

Looking at the two who were exhausted, Mu Qingyun couldn't help but smile. She picked up a few pieces of rubble from the ground and walked around the area, setting up a formation as she went.

Although the surroundings were shrouded in gray, her formation was simple and didn't require many things. Even if she couldn't see her surroundings clearly, she could still complete it.

Using stones as an array, turning stones into reality.

She took some protein powder out of the storage bag and sprinkled some on each stone.

She had almost forgotten that she could use formations, but thanks to the bomb stone, she remembered that she could actually use some simple formations here.

Since nothing can be seen clearly around us, it's easier to set up formations.

After setting up the formation, she entered her sea of ​​consciousness and began cultivating her spiritual power.

At noon, the previously silent air suddenly carried a pungent smell of blood, and the array she had set up began to take effect.

A few small ruins, combined with a simple gray mist, create a dreamlike scene where one can lose their way.

The smell of blood still lingered in the air, but no one came to disturb them all day.

The gray fog dissipated, and darkness fell.

Mu Qingyun opened her eyes and looked around, only to find that the rubble blocks she had placed around her had automatically changed their orientation.

success!

A smile appeared on her lips, and she felt completely relaxed. She stretched and stood up.

The Rat King and Kazel also opened their eyes. It was already dark when the Rat King woke up. It glanced at Kazel silently and found that Kazel had also woken up.

What a great opportunity for revenge, and we just missed it!

The Rat King silently berated itself, its red eyes fixed on the road ahead. There were still three days left; it refused to believe it wouldn't find an opportunity for revenge.

However, for the next two days, Kazel either stared at it or they both collapsed from exhaustion, just like the previous cycle.

"It's the last day, so get some rest. I'm going to set up a formation, so be careful not to touch it."

Mu Qingyun casually picked up a few ruin blocks. Today, both the Rat King and Kazel were in high spirits, so there was no need to set up a formation.

She simply placed a few pieces of rubble and continued to cultivate her mental power with her eyes closed.

To be honest, her progress can be described as defying the heavens. Her mental strength has now reached the third stage, first level, and she has already passed the third level of the military academy's entrance standard.

Speaking of her progress, it absolutely surpasses most people in the military academy!

However, I heard that the second stage, the seventh stage, and the third stage are two major hurdles.

Reaching the seventh dan of the second stage is difficult, but to surpass the seventh dan of the second stage and reach the third stage is to reach another level.

For the average person, it takes about ten years to go from the second stage (seven levels) to the third stage.

In the third stage, each subsequent segment, based on the average level of Capação, takes about five years.

However, the third stage is a leap in social hierarchy. After reaching the third stage, one's mental strength will undergo a qualitative change, resulting in a very significant difference compared to those below the third stage.

She actually bridged a ten-year gap in just a few days.

Could it be that Su Qiluo really gave her a huge favor? Although she considers herself to be quite talented, she's not that talented!

Feeling the surging spiritual energy fluctuations in her sea of ​​consciousness, she closed her eyes and continued cultivating.

However, because her eyes were closed, she did not notice that while she was cultivating her spiritual power, the plant-based ability in her left hand was faintly flashing green.
