Chapter 35 Our Cangnan
Li Jie took the Han Guang sword from his waist, his hands hanging slightly at his sides, as if he were sensing something.
You know what, Instructor Hong really thought things through thoroughly, so as not to give him a chance to unleash his sword energy.
They didn't even give them the short swords that the other recruits had.
However, the instructors still overlooked one crucial detail... they forgot to search Li Jie before letting him leave...
"Brother Li, why aren't we running? How can we possibly avoid so many drones?"
Lin Qiye, panting heavily, said to him that he was really exhausted after running for so long.
"We can't escape. They brought so many drones here just to block us from leaving."
"This also proves that our approach is correct."
"Going back again just leads to going in circles; now there's only one way to go..."
Hmm? Lin Qiye looked at Li Jie, whose aura had suddenly changed, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.
"Brother, you don't want to give these drones away..."
He nodded. If the instructors can break the rules, why can't I?
Don't allow drones to be destroyed? Are you kidding me!
If it were still the same ten drones chasing them from behind, Li Jie wouldn't say anything, at least it would be within his tolerance.
These people in front of us are simply using tactics to eliminate them and then use the [Truth Ring] to inquire about their secrets.
Li Jie didn't think that if he were eliminated, the instructors would use the rare opportunity of the [Truth Ring] to speak the truth to ask him trivial questions.
To this day, no one has been able to fully understand the exact function of Li Jie's forbidden ruins.
Indeed, Instructor Hong's deployment of so many drones was at the behest of Chief Instructor Yuan, because they were extremely eager to know the situation regarding Li Jie's Forbidden Ruins.
Since he himself was unwilling to talk about it, the instructors could only get him to say it through 'reasonable' means.
Thinking about this, Li Jie suddenly realized that instead of keeping them hanging, he should make up a plausible reason to have a proper talk with Chief Instructor Yuan when he got back.
If we don't give them a clear answer, and if things go wrong one day, and the instructors tie them to chairs for 'soul-searching interrogation'... then there will be no room for negotiation.
"Seven Nights, can you still sense the location of that forbidden object?"
While confronting the swarm of drones, Li Jie asked Lin Qiye beside him.
After running for so long, he wasn't sure if the latter could still sense him. If it couldn't, then they were very close to the edge of Jinan Mountain.
If that's the case, then let's just go all out here. Going forward is like walking on a 'high road to heaven,' while going backward is like walking into an 'abyss.'
Upon hearing Li Jie's question, Lin Qiye glanced around.
"Brother Li, we can only faintly sense the energy of that forbidden object; we can no longer see its center."
After confirming that they were very close to the edge, Li Jie lowered his eyes and said softly.
"Then let's talk."
"Instructor Hong, it's not too late for you to remove these drones now..."
Meanwhile, Instructor Hong, who was watching the monitor, looked puzzled.
Talk? Talk about what! I've already made the rules very clear. You can't damage drones!
Besides, he has nothing right now... and he still dares to threaten me?
Is it because they feel they haven't received enough care?
Thinking of this, he smiled happily. A tiger without fangs is just a cat. We're already in dire straits. Let's see how much you two little rascals can still jump around.
Then, in a casual glance, he noticed that Li Jie was holding something in his hand.
This is.......
Upon seeing that Li Jie was holding the same emerald green hilt he used during his fight with "Masked," Instructor Hong's pupils constricted sharply. This was the same sword from back then?
Damn it, I forgot to search you before we went into the mountains!
He did indeed take away Baili Pangpang's free space because he had an absurd number of forbidden items on him, making it unsuitable for extreme training under those circumstances.
However, he forgot about the bug that Li Jie had. Thinking of this, he became a little uneasy and anxiously said to the person behind him.
"Don't shoot yet! Connect the speaker in Li Jie's backpack!"
He spoke too late; the instructor controlling the drone had already pressed the fire button.
"Holy crap!..."
Hong Hao spat lightly, staring intently at the monitor screen.
And then they watched as rubber bullets hurtled towards them.
Li Jie chuckled softly, his true energy surging forth from his dantian. The [World Loses Color] technique opened instantly, and with a sweeping sword strike, all the rubber bullets in the sky exploded out of thin air.
"You started it, so don't blame me."
The wireless speaker behind him was making a crackling sound, as if the instructors were trying to contact him. Li Jie stretched out his index finger and gestured to his mouth to be quiet.
"Seven Nights, get ready, we're about to leave."
He lowered his hand and spoke to Lin Qiye behind him. Then, he swung his sword forward with two sweeping and vertical slashes, clearing a vacuum area in front of the drone swarm.
"go!"
When Lin Qiye saw the path that Li Jie had cleared, he didn't hesitate and started running forward, following in Li Jie's footsteps.
Before long, the two people traveling through the mountain road felt the scenery around them change. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the rugged mountain road in front of them, as if paving the way home for them.
The drones behind them also stopped chasing and hovered above, showing no intention of continuing their attack.
It seems they've truly moved on...
"Seven Nights, have you been to the top of Mount Tsunan before?"
Lin Qiye shook his head and looked at the golden path in front of him as he answered Li Jie.
"Brother, shall we go up and take a look?"
Although the drone was no longer chasing them, the two were almost completely exhausted.
Li Jie's internal energy was almost depleted. Fortunately, after breaking through to the second level of the Great Yellow Court, his recovery speed increased. Otherwise, he might have been unable to run long ago.
To be fair, the 70-kilogram load did cause him some trouble.
The two of them walked uphill with their backs hunched over.
Within minutes, their field of vision widened, and as the sun set, the entire panorama of Cangnan City appeared before them, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Looking at the magnificent scene before him, Lin Qiye spoke.
Is this our Cangnan?
Li Jie pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"This is Cangnan, the place we've protected... Cangnan, it's beautiful, isn't it?"
As they looked, they both smiled. Yes, this was Cangnan, which their 136th squad had been protecting all along.
Just as they were lost in thought, they heard hurried footsteps behind them.
Without even looking, it was obvious that Instructor Hong and his group had caught up.
The first extreme training session should be coming to an end. Since Li Jie cut down those drones, their backpacks have been silent. Although it's possible they've gone beyond the training range and can't receive the signal, it's probably almost over.
Instructor Hong and Instructor Han looked at the two boys standing on the edge of the cliff with large hiking backpacks on their backs. Perhaps a little embarrassed, they opened their mouths but didn't know what to say.
"We've finished, haven't we?"
After regaining his composure, Li Jie spoke calmly.
"Yes, you've finished."
"Since the Night Watch began its intensive training, no one has ever been able to complete the first extreme training session, regardless of the location."
"Although the process is questionable, there is no doubt that you have made history."
Upon hearing Instructor Hong's confirmation, Li Jie and his companion tacitly took off their backpacks and threw them on the ground.
"Now that we've accomplished this and made history, what will our reward be?"
