The owner of that detected unfamiliar energy, I don't know what they went through, I couldn't see them at all.
Although I didn't see the process, the fact that Chang Le was covered in the same blood said a lot.
Li Yunfan frowned. He thought that with Chang Le's personality and intelligence, he should know to leave a breath and save the person for them.
Little did he know that Kong Jing and Hao Ren had provoked Wei An. And with Wei An, there was no such thing as leaving a breath untouched.
Qin Ling stood up and communicated with Chang Le: "Your mission is to question him on the spot about why he killed him."
Chang Le's expression was indifferent as he looked at the alien creature that had been frozen in place not far away due to the suspension of the assessment.
"Self-preservation."
Qin Ling was certainly not satisfied with such a perfunctory and worthless answer: "What just happened? Was there anyone else besides Hao Ren? Under what circumstances did you choose to kill?"
Do you want me to explain them one by one now?
Li Yunfan said to Qin Ling, "Elder Qin, the others are still waiting for the assessment to continue. Why don't we wait until after the assessment to ask Chang Le separately?"
Qin Ling was silent for a moment, then said, "Chang Le, you will be questioned after the assessment."
Chang Le: "Oh."
This dismissive attitude infuriated Qin Ling, making his beard bristle.
Chang Le added, "Thank you for taking me back to the Southern Continent."
I may be angry, but I still have to send it back.
After Chang Le was reassigned to the Southern Continent, Li Yunfan, for the sake of fairness, thoughtfully asked, "The data shows that your abilities and physical strength have been greatly depleted. Do you need to recover to the level before the assessment was suspended before continuing?"
Chang Le shook his head: "No need."
Li Yunfan then cancelled the assessment suspension.
A system notification sounded throughout the assessment area: "The simulation scenario has been repaired. All assessors, please prepare yourselves. The assessment will now resume."
Because of Hao Ren's delay, there are only 48 hours left before the end of the assessment. Chang Le's points were reset to zero after being killed once, and he is now at the bottom of the rankings.
Chang Le estimated the time, picked up his equipment, and skillfully harvested the necessary items on the southern island.
During this time, she encountered Lu Jin'an and Qiu Yu, greeted them, and left. After collecting all the items for the plan, she was about to leave when she met Huang Mingfu on the shore, and Chang Le stopped.
"Chang Le!" Huang Mingfu ran over excitedly. "Um, how's Hao Ren?"
Chang Le bluntly stated: "He's dead."
"Dead?!" Huang Mingfu's voice changed. "You...you just killed them right in front of the instructors?"
Chang Le looked at him calmly: "Do you need me to demonstrate it for you?"
Huang Mingfu's hair stood on end and he retreated repeatedly: "No, no, no, please! I can prove that I've been wronged! Please have mercy on me and spare my life and the points I worked so hard to get, sob sob..."
Chang Le didn't even move his feet: "I won't kill you."
"Oh, thank you! I'll leave now so I won't get in your way!" Huang Mingfu turned around, just as he was about to run away.
"stop."
Huang Mingfu turned his head with his face scrunched up like a steamed bun: "Ha, ahaha, Chang Le, is there anything else?"
Chang Le showed no trace of his usual smile, his tone cold: "I'm not killing you because you didn't try to block my way. Otherwise, if you had even the slightest ulterior motive, even if Ying Huaixia were behind you, I would kill you three times here."
Huang Mingfu's smile froze.
Control room.
Li Yunfan was also visibly surprised. He turned to look at Qin Ling beside him, only to find that he was completely unsurprised, presumably because he already knew that Huang Mingfu's background was with the Ying family.
Indeed, after so many years of working together and engaging in open and covert struggles, the Qin and Ying families can be said to know each other well.
Huang Mingfu is a force to be reckoned with among the younger generation. Although he has no special relationship with the Ying family on the surface, the Qin family would definitely be watching closely if he were to have any dealings with them in secret.
Southern islands.
Huang Mingfu's piercing gaze fell on Chang Le's cold face: "What did you say? I can't hear you..."
"Stop playing dumb." Chang Le had no patience for his act. "That custom-made car that day belonged to Ying Huaixia. Didn't you deliberately let me see it to find out your identity and dispel any suspicions about you?"
On the day she returned to the base before the assessment, she saw Huang Mingfu get out of that uniquely customized car, looking quite respectful. She used the car to trace Ying Huaixia's background. At that moment, she learned about his connections and that the person behind him wasn't him; he had deliberately let her find out his identity.
Huang Mingfu then restrained his frivolous manner and acknowledged his background: "I've remembered what Miss Chang Le said."
He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Is there anything you need me to help you with? If so, you can contact me after the assessment."
Chang Le turned his head away, and Huang Mingfu immediately knew better than to run away.
Chang Le withdrew her gaze from his back and couldn't help but think of Ying Huaixia's appearance, her doubts growing stronger.
Ying Huaixia appears to be a righteous person, always acting for the sake of the Ying family. However, upon closer examination, it becomes clear that he has been involved in every event since her childhood, from the Dragon Sect incident, the Shen Fuguang affair, the Northern Frontier Campaign, the Seventh District and Spymagor, to the current Sky Tower training camp.
This is definitely not a coincidence; Ying Huaixia is suspicious.
Chang Le temporarily put aside his doubts and focused on the assessment in front of him.
There are 44 hours left until the end of the assessment.
She has retrieved nine of the ten required items from the Southern Islands as planned, with the last one related to the existence of a ruler in this ancient ruin—such an item exists in every region.
Although this item has a lot of points, it's not as valuable as the other nine items combined, so it's not worth losing your life for it. Therefore, Chang Le chose to give it up.
There are three more areas to go.
Chang Le had already traversed 50% of the old ruins in the Andesda Mountains, and estimated that crossing the sea and searching for the corresponding items there would take at least 10 hours.
Of the remaining two ancient ruins in the Central Plains, Chang Le was more familiar with the Northern Ruins, but considering that it was the last place he would arrive, his physical strength and supernatural abilities would be at their limit, requiring 20 hours. The remaining time would be devoted entirely to the completely unfamiliar Kunlun Snowfield.
Time was of the essence, and there was no telling what might happen. Chang Le decided to delay no longer and set off immediately.
It only took Chang Le about an hour to cross this ocean within the simulated area for the third time.
The trip to the Andesda Mountains was also planned. Except for spending more time obtaining the earth bear honey, all other planned items were obtained safely. Although there were some minor injuries, they did not hinder the rest of the plan.
Chang Le took eight items based on his own abilities.
Then, they moved their battleground to the western Kunlun snowfields.
The two areas were still separated by the sea. Fortunately, Chang Le's [Water Droplet] ability allowed him to control water to a small extent. He used this ability to subtly evaporate a lot of seawater. Otherwise, he would have been frozen solid in less than two hours to get from the sea to this snowfield.
This was Chang Le's first time setting foot in the western part of the Kunlun Snowfield.
