Encouraged by Xiao Chenzhou, everyone rallied and sped forward once again.
Because they needed to reach the valley area on the other side of the suspension bridge as quickly as possible, the instructors didn't take any detours. So, in terms of distance, the geniuses from the various sects in the south, as well as the first and second-year students from Storm University, were able to catch up with those from Central State and Northern Region.
On the other hand, don't think that just because Bu Xiaosai has shaken off the instructors' off-road vehicle, they can find Zone Zero so easily.
It's 4:30 a.m. now, and there are still two and a half hours until 7:00 a.m.
We've covered about half the journey, but the final plains section will take very little time. So the biggest challenge ahead is the valley area.
They were immediately blocked by huge rocks as soon as they entered.
To be precise, apart from one main road that wasn't blocked, all the other routes were blocked by the other assistant instructors.
This resulted in everyone having no choice but to take that treacherous road.
"What?! If this is how it's supposed to go, wouldn't it have been better to just provide a map from the start? Why are we being made to try and find it?"
Lan Hao watched with great resentment as yet another road was destroyed.
Are these instructors sore losers?
"Alright, they've prepared a route for us to get out, which is quite good in this valley. Otherwise, even Senior Lin Zhili would have a hard time finding a suitable path."
Even if we take a different route, so what? Everyone knows the instructors won't let us off the hook. Rather than letting them create so many more unpleasant traps, we might as well just follow their route.
There's still plenty of time.
However, Bu Xiaosai did not realize that the instructors did not want them to complete their first mission, so they set up more time-delaying traps on the road ahead.
Ultimately, they were forced to find their way while simultaneously breaking through the traps.
This isn't running back; this is clearly defying the instructors!
The drill instructors can't take this anymore!
"It's been an hour, and we've only moved forward a few hundred meters?"
Zhan Lingchuan's face was grim. In just one hour, they had encountered more than a dozen traps. Even after changing their route, they still encountered traps, and the density of them was increasing, especially after they determined the shortest route out of the valley.
The traps never stopped.
Damn it! Has the drill instructor gone mad?!
"How can we accept such unfair training?"
Liu Shenjun wished he could gather his strength and use his sword to split the mountain, cutting down the boulder blocking their way.
He had already used his sword twice while searching for the shortest route. If he used it a third time, even if he didn't faint, he wouldn't be able to walk the rest of the way.
Bu Xiaosai and Han Fangfang didn't have any good ideas either. The instructors clearly didn't want everyone to return to Zone Zero smoothly. Their superpowers were restricted, and they didn't have enough strength to break through these traps in time.
Time was running out... They had an hour and a half to cross the valley, and they didn't know what kind of terrain lay ahead.
"Do you need any help?"
Finally, after an hour's chase, the group from the south arrived.
They stared in astonishment at the dismantled traps scattered along the way.
This short stretch of road turned out to be just as full of traps as the series of traps they had encountered before.
The drill instructors are really ruthless...
"It seems we're destined to cooperate, aren't we?"
Xiao Chenzhou, a sophomore from the south, reached out his hand to Yun Qiu, a freshman from the north, and Lin Zhili, a sophomore from the north.
Yun Qiu and Lin Zhili, on the other hand, looked at Bu Xiaosai from Zhongzhou.
"Hey! How about giving those drill instructors a little shock?"
Bu Xiaosai revealed a wicked smile. He hadn't made a move yet, but he had been secretly building up his magic circle for almost an hour.
Lin Zhili also found the shortest path, and then he would have Liu Shenjun use the third and even the fourth sword!
Let's carve a huge hole in the valley! Let's see what other tricks your instructors have up their sleeves.
"I'll count to three. Once everyone's ready, we'll begin."
Xiao Chenzhou unleashed his SSS-level superpower fist, while Zhan Lingchuan and Jiang Hanyan also activated their SSS-level superpowers. The three prepared to work together to break through the boulder blocking their path.
Meanwhile, the various assistant instructors hidden in the valley were also ready to continue the work on the next boulder.
"3...2...1!"
"Xuanyu Catalogue!"
"Nine-Turn Mystic Ice!"
"Fist is power!"
"put!"
In the instant the boulder collapsed, under the arrangement of Zheng Fenglie and Han Yongmeng, a new boulder rolled toward them!
Meanwhile, the prepared team took over for the three exhausted SSS-level ability users. This scene was transmitted to the command post at the rear, and the instructors who saw it were all deeply moved.
"They've already got such a high level of teamwork on the very first day?"
"Looks like Yun Hao's going to lose a lot of hair this time... Let him think about it, let's see if we can squeeze every last drop out of him this month."
The instructors pointed and chatted amongst themselves, seemingly unconcerned about whether the boulder would be blocked. Unbeknownst to them, a small team comprised of members from the southern, central, and northern regions entered a nearby crevice.
