Enter Jinnan Mountain for eight hours.

Lin Qiye and Cao Yuan, carrying their loads, climbed over countless mountains. The night sky became increasingly darker, and the mountains before them were completely plunged into darkness.

In this environment with branches and earth pits everywhere, it is almost impossible to move forward without a flashlight. No one knows whether the next step will be flat ground or a pit full of thorns.

At this time, the huge Jinnan Mountain was dead silent.

"How many are left?" The instructors were sitting together, and Instructor Hong looked at the time and asked.

"There are three left, special forces soldier Zheng Zhong, Lin Qiye, and Cao Yuan."

"Damn it, how did those two guys hold on until now? This is unscientific..." an instructor muttered to himself.

"Cao Yuan's body had been tempered by [Black King Slash], so it's not surprising that he could hold on. But Lin Qiye...how did he do it?" Instructor Hong touched his chin, his eyes full of confusion.

"There are only two left now." The instructor, who was staring at the screen all the time, said, "Just now, Zheng Zhong slipped down the mountain in the dark and fainted. The medical team has already arrived."

"It's already this late, why don't we just end this extreme training?"

"Yes, it's too late. You can't see anything in the mountains. If this continues, something unexpected might happen."

Instructor Hong was silent for a moment, "Don't worry, send all the drones to those two little guys, and have the medics follow them closely, ready to rescue them.

I want to see...what the limits of these two guys are."

…

In the dark jungle.

Lin Qiye's eyes flickered, and the knife in his hand accurately split the thorns in front of him, then he bent down and walked through the middle.

Cao Yuan followed closely behind him, not lagging behind even a step.

"It's so dark, can you still see?" Cao Yuan couldn't help asking while holding a small spoon.

"Yes." Lin Qiye said calmly.

"…Then please walk slower. I can no longer see you."

"I'm already walking very slowly."

"No, you said you were reaching your limit an hour and a half ago, why are you so energetic now?" Cao Yuan complained, "Are you a night owl?"

"That's about right."

Lin Qiye indeed died very early, but as the sky grew darker, his strength began to recover at an astonishing rate. As long as he rested for a while, he felt even more energetic than when he first entered Jinnan Mountain!

Although he didn't want to use his ability to cheat, but... this passive ability couldn't be turned off at all!

He also wanted to train hard and push his body to its limits, but every time he felt that he was about to reach his limit, his strength would inexplicably recover...

On the other hand, although Cao Yuan's physical fitness was greatly improved by the Forbidden Ruins, his endurance has a limit after all. He has persisted until now and has reached his limit.

In other words, Lin Qiye is like a freak with a 1000% mana recovery speed, and although Cao Yuan's mana bar is long, his mana recovery speed is too slow, and there will be a moment when it is exhausted.

"It's been a long time since I heard the sound of punishment. Are we the only two left in this mountain?"

"There was one person ten minutes ago, and now there are only two of us."

"You know all this?"

Lin Qiye did not answer, but just glanced at the bat that just flew through the air.

In this mountain late at night, earthworms, millipedes, lizards, bats...all nocturnal creatures are Lin Qiye's spies. About an hour ago, Lin Qiye had already fully grasped the situation of this mountain through them.

He even knew that there were several medics following him and several drones hovering above his head. If he wanted to, he could hide in the mountains and would never be found by anyone.

Now, this mountain has become Lin Qiye's home court.

"I feel like I'm dying." The two walked for a while, and Cao Yuan's staggering steps stopped and he stood behind Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows, "Don't try harder?"

"I can't faint." Cao Yuan shook his head. "Once I lose consciousness, Jinxu might be able to control my body, which would be even more troublesome."

"It seems that having the Forbidden Ruins Sequence too high is not a good thing." Lin Qiye sighed.

"Go ahead, I'll wait here. If nothing unexpected happens, you'll hear the sound of me being punished in a while." Cao Yuan sat down on the spot and smiled at Lin Qiye.

"Then I'll go first."

"See you at training camp."

"Um."

Lin Qiye turned around, gripped the knife tightly in his hand, and strode into the deep mountains in the night.

Down the mountain.

"Cao Yuan gave up on the spot, and now only Lin Qiye is left." An instructor spoke.

"This kid... can give us a surprise with everything." Instructor Hong raised his eyebrows and said with emotion.

"and……"

"What?"

"He's been walking in a straight line since over an hour ago."

"What?" The instructors in the tent were stunned. "How is this possible? We have been changing the path of Jinnan Mountain. How could he go in a straight line?"

"I don't know, but he did it. At this speed... in three hours at most, he can really cross the entire Jinnan Mountain!"

"Three hours? Will he have enough energy?"

"As much as I want to say it's not enough, common sense never seems to apply to him."

"..." Instructor Hong was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Tear down all the tents here, leave one person to punish Cao Yuan, and the rest of you follow me to the other side of Jinnan Mountain...

We'll go wait for him there."

"Instructor Hong, do you really think he can do it?"

"If it was someone else I might not believe it, but if it was him... that's another matter."

…

Nine hours into Jinnan Mountain.

Lin Qiye ran faster and faster in the forest in the middle of the night. He was like a phantom, freely moving through the mountains and fields, as if he was at home.

Suddenly, a voice came from the weight behind him.

"Cao Yuan?"

"Um."

"You've done a great job."

"I know."

"But unfortunately... you still have to accept the punishment."

"I know."

"There are not many people who can hear our conversation now. Apart from a few instructors, there is only your comrade who is still fighting in the mountains. You can relax a little."

"You ask."

"What type of girls do you like?"

"I don't like girls."

"??? You are not..."

"I like mature, plump, and preferably intellectual women who have had a partner before..."

"Fortunately, fortunately... Wait, did you just say something outrageous?" The instructor's face changed, "Your taste..."

"…"

"Ahem, Cao Ze, let's change the question... What is the biggest regret in your life?"

Cao Yuan on the other end fell into a brief silence.

"When I was six years old, I failed to drown myself in the river."

"Why?"

"If I had died at that time, nothing would have happened next." Cao Yuan said calmly, "I would not have returned to the village, and I would not have picked up the sickle on the ground out of curiosity...

He would not let his forbidden ruins go wild and kill all 172 innocent villagers in the village.

I would not be imprisoned in a police station, where I killed 161 people with a nail clipper..."

"…It's not your fault."

"This is my fault and I'm not going to run away from it."

"You just can't control the power in your body. This is not your intention."

"My body, I couldn't control it, it's my fault."

"......" The instructor was silent for a moment, "So now, do you have anything else to say to your companion in the mountains?"

Cao Yuan smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Jinnan Mountain in the dark night, and spoke slowly:

"Lin Qiye, don't embarrass us heretics..."
