Chapter 1022 – Scaling the Jedi Wall

　　Fang Mo’s hands clutched the bumps at the top of the Jedi wall and with a forceful lift, his entire body climbed out from the edge and sat at the top of the mountain peak.

　　He panted heavily.

　　He was the first of all the new recruits to climb over the wall and reach the peak of the mountain, and he was also the first to complete the third leg of the journey test.

　　While moving his tense muscles, Fang Mo looked at the peak not far away, only to see a figure clad in a crimson cloak, sitting quietly in the snow, calmly looking down at everything below.

　　Every recruit’s physical state, mental state, the struggle in his demeanor, or the determination in his eyes were all visible under his spiritual perception.

　　Seemingly sensing Fang Mo’s gaze, Lin Qiye turned his head slightly and smiled at him.

　　”Good performance, keep up the good work.”

　　”Thank you, Lord Seven Nights.”

　　Fang Mo bowed deeply to Lin Qiye and after briefly recuperating his body, he continued to take steps towards the fourth leg of the journey.

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

　　After another long while, two figures climbed to the top of the wall one after the other, collapsing weakly onto the snowy ground, their eyes endlessly exhausted.

　　They were the second and third place winners of this stage, Su Yuan, and Ding Chongfeng.

　　After the two of them saluted Lin Qiye, they also slowly walked towards the distance, but just after taking no more than two steps, Su Yuan stopped and after hesitating for a moment, he still turned back and solemnly said to Lin Qiye:

　　”Instructor Lin, I feel that this elimination mode is a bit improper.”

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

　　”Hmm?” Lin Qiye turned his head and looked at the young girl in front of him in surprise, “Why?”

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

　　”Physical quality, shouldn’t be the only standard for judging whether a Vigilante is qualified or not, as far as I know, there are many recruits who have powerful Forbidden Ruins, but their own physical quality is not strong.

　　With the suppression of the forbidden ruins, it’s a bit one-sided to judge whether or not they have the qualifications to become a Night’s Watchman based on their physical abilities alone.”

　　Lin Qiye’s eyebrows raised.

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

　　After a long time, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Lin Qiye’s mouth.

　　”I understand all that you said, these seven days, it was never a process of simply assessing physical ability ……

　　As I said, this is not an examination, but a lecture.

　　And the lectures …… have just begun.”

　　Lecture?

　　Hearing these two words, Su Yuan froze.

　　She remembered that back on the airplane, Instructor Lin did say that this was the last lecture …… but what exactly was it that he wanted to teach?

　　Su Yuan couldn’t figure it out, but she trusted Instructor Lin, since Instructor Lin had said so, then there must be his deeper meaning.

　　”I know.”

　　Su Yuan nodded and left this absolute wall with Ding Chongfeng.

　　”Su Yuan, what’s wrong with you?”

　　Waiting until he had completely left the Jedi Wall, Ding Chongfeng couldn’t help but ask, “Instructor Lin must have had his intentions in designing such a trial, I feel as if you’re a little bit fickle.”

　　”Maybe …….”

　　Su Yuan spoke absentmindedly.

　　”No matter what, we have already crossed the most difficult hurdle of the Jade Wall, these remaining three sections of the journey, three days should be enough time to finish.” 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 walk to the vicinity of the Rift Valley to spend the night.”

　　Su Yuan did not reply, she silently stopped her steps.

　　”What’s wrong?” Ding Chongfeng saw Su Yuan stop and asked suspiciously.

　　”Ding Chongfeng, the next road, you walk by yourself.”

　　Su Yuan slowly spoke.

　　”What about you?”

　　”I am a little tired.”

　　”I can wait for you to rest here for a while before setting off.”

　　”No need.” Su Yuan shook his head, “You go, don’t worry about me.”

　　Ding Chongfeng was about to say something, immediately after, some kind of thought flashed through his mind, he was silent for a moment and looked at Su Yuan in a complicated manner and opened his mouth:

　　”You don’t want to ……”

　　”I want to walk the path I chose myself.” Su Yuan’s expression was calm and incomparable.

　　”…… I know.”

　　Ding Chongfeng sighed and didn’t insist anymore, instead, he took a step alone and walked towards the distance, “I’ll wait for you at the top of Gonger Mountain.”

　　Seeing Ding Chongfeng disappear into the wind and snow, Su Yuan slowly closed his eyes, as if sensing something, then turned around and resolutely returned the same way in the direction of the Jade Wall.

　　The night was already deep.

　　At this time, there were already more than half of the recruits, all of them had gone over the Jedi wall, heading towards the distant rift valley.

　　At the bottom of the gradually cold Jedi wall, a palm suddenly stretched out from the snow, and immediately afterward, the figure of a one-eyed teenager slowly stood up, and the only remaining eye gazed at the top of the Jedi wall, flashing with an unprecedentedly high fighting spirit.

　　He had spent most of the day recuperating in the snow, finally restoring his own physical strength, to its peak.

　　But all the same, a failed climb, coupled with most of the day’s recuperation, had caused his progress to fall far behind the large group, and was even close to the elimination line.

　　Even so, there wasn’t the slightest bit of panic on his face, he just narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered:

　　”I’m back ……”

　　As the words fell, without the slightest hesitation, he directly climbed up the steep wall and began to move upwards at an astonishing speed.

　　Although his position, right now, was already at the end of the large force of recruits, it didn’t affect his ability to start overtaking them one by one with his own superior physical condition.

　　Several drones whistled over the Jedi wall.

　　”The list of eliminated personnel will now be announced.”

　　”Five hundred and thirty-second place, Luo Gang, eliminated.”

　　”Five hundred and thirty-first, Hu Shiying, eliminated.”

　　”Five hundred and thirtieth place ……”

　　Hearing this mechanical tone without the slightest emotion, those recruits who were lying under the wall and had failed to climb or had given up climbing, fell silent.

　　Su Zhe lay on all fours on the snowy ground, only feeling that he could not move a single finger, he looked at the top of the Jedi wall where the wind and snow were howling, and bitterness surfaced in his eyes.

　　”Su Yuan, brother can only accompany you up to this point ……”

　　”Four hundred and eighty-first, Su Zhe, eliminated.”

　　On top of the wall, Lu Baoyu clenched his teeth as his ranking climbed rapidly, the name read out by the drone had very little distance left to him, and he had to overtake as many of the recruits climbing above him as possible in order to be spared from this elimination.

　　He was the only recruit out of all of them who had failed to climb and hit rock bottom and still managed to make a comeback!

　　As the drones read more and more silhouettes, just then, a figure suddenly leapt out of the top of the Jedi wall!

　　She fell sharply against the crowd, the top of the Jedi wall, like a shooting star across the sky.

　　”Four hundred and fifty-second place …… Su Yuan, eliminated.”
