Fang Mo grabbed the bulge on the top of the cliff with both hands, lifted it up with force, climbed out from the edge, and sat on the top of the mountain.

He was breathing heavily.

He was the first among all the recruits to climb over the cliff and reach the top of the mountain, and also the first to complete the test of the third section.

While Fang Mo was stretching his tense muscles, he looked towards the top not far away, and saw a figure in a crimson cloak sitting quietly in the snow, calmly looking down at everything below.

The physical condition, mental state, struggle in expression, or determination in the eyes of every recruit can all be seen clearly under his mental perception.

As if noticing Fang Mo's gaze, Lin Qiye turned his head slightly and smiled at him.

“Well done, keep up the good work.”

"Thank you, Master Nanaya."

Fang Mo bowed deeply to Lin Qiye, took a brief rest, and then continued to walk towards the fourth section of the journey.

Lin Qiye turned around and continued his surveillance and protection of the new recruits.

After a long time, two figures climbed to the top of the cliff one after another, and fell weakly on the snow, with endless fatigue in their eyes.

They are the second and third place in this stage, Su Yuan and Ding Chongfeng.

After the two men saluted Lin Qiye, they slowly walked away. However, after just two steps, Su Yuan stopped and after hesitating for a moment, he turned back and said to Lin Qiye solemnly:

"Coach Lin, I think this elimination model is a little inappropriate."

Ding Chongfeng's footsteps suddenly stopped in the air, his expression a little stiff.

"Huh?" Lin Qiye turned his head and looked at the girl in front of him in surprise, "Why?"

"I understand that you want to use this daily elimination method to maximize our potential and complete this seemingly impossible journey, but this is not fair to many people." Su Yuan said firmly.

“Physical fitness should not be the only criterion for judging whether a Night’s Watchman is qualified. As far as I know, there are many recruits who have powerful Forbidden Ruins but their physical fitness is not strong.

In the case of suppressing the Forbidden Ruins, it is a bit one-sided to judge whether they are qualified to become Night Watchmen based solely on their physical fitness. "

Lin Qiye raised his brows.

In the wind and snow, Su Yuan just stared at Lin Qiye silently, without any fear in his eyes.

After a long time, a faint smile appeared on Lin Qiye's lips.

"I understand everything you said. These seven days have never been a simple process of testing physical fitness...

As I said, this is not an exam, it's a lesson.

And the content of the course... has just begun."

Teaching?

Hearing these two words, Su Yuan was stunned.

She remembered that Instructor Lin had indeed said on the plane that this was the last class...but what exactly did he want to teach?

Su Yuan couldn't figure it out, but she believed Instructor Lin. Since Instructor Lin said so, there must be a deeper meaning behind it.

"I see."

Su Yuan nodded and left the cliff with Ding Chongfeng.

…

"Su Yuan, what's wrong with you?"

After they were completely off the cliff, Ding Chongfeng couldn't help but ask, "Instructor Lin must have his own reasons for designing such a test. I think you seem a little impetuous."

"Maybe..."

Su Yuan spoke absentmindedly.

"Anyway, we have crossed the most difficult hurdle of the cliff. Three days should be enough to complete the remaining three sections." Ding Chongfeng looked at the gradually darkening sky. "There is still some time before it gets completely dark. Let's hurry up and try to reach the rift valley to spend the night."

Su Yuan didn't answer, she stopped silently.

"What's wrong?" Ding Chongfeng asked puzzledly when he saw Su Yuan stopped.

"Ding Chongfeng, you can walk the rest of the way by yourself."

Su Yuan spoke slowly.

"What about you?"

"I'm a little tired."

"I can wait for you to rest here for a while before leaving."

"No need." Su Yuan shook his head. "Just go away. Don't worry about me."

Ding Chongfeng wanted to say something, but then an idea flashed through his mind. He was silent for a moment, looked at Su Yuan with a complicated expression, and said:

"You don't mean to..."

"I want to follow the path of my own choice." Su Yuan's expression was extremely calm.

"……I see."

Ding Chongfeng sighed and did not insist. Instead, he took a step forward and walked away. "I'll be waiting for you at the top of Gongger Mountain."

Watching Ding Chongfeng disappear in the wind and snow, Su Yuan slowly closed his eyes, as if sensing something, then turned around and resolutely returned to the direction of the cliff.

…

It's late at night.

At this time, more than half of the recruits had already climbed over the cliff and were heading towards the rift valley in the distance.

At the bottom of the gradually deserted cliff, a hand suddenly stretched out from the snow, and then a one-eyed boy slowly stood up. His only remaining eye stared at the top of the cliff, flashing with unprecedented high morale.

He rested in the snow for most of the day and finally restored his physical strength to its peak.

But at the same time, a failed climb, coupled with most of the day's rest, has caused his progress to lag far behind the main group, and he is even close to the elimination line.

Even so, there was no panic on his face. He just narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered to himself:

"I'm back……"

As soon as he finished speaking, he climbed up the steep cliff without any hesitation and began to move upwards at an astonishing speed.

Although he is now at the end of the group of new recruits, this does not prevent him from overtaking them one by one by relying on his excellent physical condition.

Several drones roared over the cliff.

"Now the list of eliminated people will be announced."

"No. 532, Luo Gang, eliminated."

"No. 531, Hu Shiying, eliminated."

"No. 530..."

Hearing this emotionless mechanical voice, the recruits lying at the foot of the cliff, who had failed to climb or had given up climbing, remained silent.

Su Zhe lay on the snow with his arms and legs spread out, feeling unable to move a finger. He looked at the top of the cliff where the wind and snow were howling, and bitterness appeared in his eyes.

"Su Yuan, I can only accompany you so far..."

"No. 481, Su Zhe, eliminated."

On the cliff, Lu Baoyou gritted his teeth and climbed up the rankings rapidly. The name read by the drone was very close to his. He had to surpass as many recruits above him as possible to avoid elimination this time.

He is the only recruit among all the people who failed in climbing and fell to the bottom, but was able to make a comeback!

As the figure that the drone was talking about got closer, at this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out from the top of the cliff!

She went against the crowd and fell rapidly from the top of the cliff, like a meteor across the sky.

"No. 452...Su Yuan, eliminated."
