Chapter 1083: Chapter 657: Nine Sheer Cliffs (Part 3)

Qing Chen made this choice not to favor ordinary people, but because only ordinary people can truly walk the knight’s path.

In the Inner World, knights who question their hearts can complete seven tasks to become Demigods, with the eighth task having no conditions to fulfill.

In the Outer World, knights who do not question their hearts and who do not use the Auxiliary Breathing Method must complete all eight tasks in one go to directly leap from ordinary people to A-Class.

To walk the path of the Outer World, one must endure loneliness and accept the reality of being always ordinary.

But without a doubt, this is a path to mass-producing knights!

Among the fourteen thousand plus people, how many knights will emerge? Qing Chen doesn’t know the probability, but as long as 3 to 6 arise, everything he does will have meaning!

Qing Chen is not at all worried that those who walk this path will be not united, because those who make it through this path will ultimately share the same faith, without exception.

This is the most rigorous selection process within any organization in the world, requiring eight times of life-and-death experiences.

At this moment, those ordinary students who have been feeling suffocated became frenzied, each running toward the cliffs of Green Mountain.

But when they arrived there, everyone was despondent.

Before their eyes, the lowest mountain was at least 10 meters high, and it’s a vertical cliff that must be climbed bare-handed!

This is quite different from those indoor climbing projects, which at least have fixed leverage points, whereas on this cliff, some places can barely hold half a fingertip, and a careless mistake would cause one to fall off.

Moreover, 10 meters is truly a low-sounding height, but in reality, it’s quite high, taller than a four-story building.

In the Olympic diving events, the highest is only a ten-meter platform.

Standing on the platform and looking down, it feels like the swimming pool has shrunk...

Beside the shortest mountain, Jinguji Maki’s materialized safety rope retractor is placed, allowing more than a hundred people to try climbing simultaneously.

Some students eagerly tie the safety ropes around themselves, checked by Xiao Qi and others before starting to climb.

Then, these students immediately feel how challenging this is.

These people, who usually struggle to do ten pull-ups, now need their fingers to exert strength; just climbing two meters causes their arms to start trembling...

As they glance up again at the distance above, they instantly give up.

Some barely manage to climb to the eight-meter mark but find no obvious leverage point to continue climbing further.

The climber accidentally falls backward, scared out of a cold sweat.

The safety rope machine configured by Qing Chen also sets a very peculiar safety distance, requiring climbers to fall three meters before the safety rope begins to tighten.

This means that everyone who falls will experience a fright.

If a challenger doesn’t climb three meters, they’ll directly hit the ground.

Of course, there’s no need to panic if injured; Xiao Qi and others are ready with ten baskets of Chicken Blood Sprout accumulated over the days, ready to apply for free if injured...

What Qing Chen wants is to first intimidate those who are timid.

It costs a bit, but it’s very effective.

In front of the 10-meter cliff, batches of people take turns trying; while some fail, they refuse to accept defeat and run to the side to study climbing tutorials.

Others know their physical strength is truly insufficient, so they give up.

These are the people who try briefly and give up, not within Qing Chen’s scope of consideration; he needs tenacity, bravery, and fearlessness!

At this time, Chen Zhuoqu looked up at the cliff and suddenly recalled the last sentence in the academy app announcement.

"Scared? If you’re scared for a day, you’ll be scared for a lifetime."

When seeing this sentence, Chen Zhuoqu thought it was just a 10-meter hill, what’s there to be afraid of?

But now she realizes that achieving success is indeed difficult.

This score-hunting expert stands aside observing; she first needs to study the climbing route which is the easiest.

Then she chose position 31, the one easiest with the most leverage points.

This score-hunting expert begins observing again, comparing her strength and weight with others to see if she can support herself to the top.

The conclusion is she can’t; she fears exhausting herself by the four-meter mark, this is not her specialty.

Chen Zhuoqu hesitated, feeling the two Immortal Heaven Fruits in her pocket; if she ate them, would she have enough strength?

It seems she might.

But her sister’s matched donor offered a high private agreement price; the donor actually just sells bone marrow.

She still lacks 600,000.

These two fruits can already sell for 60,000 now; her sister’s surgery is next month, and Chen Zhuoqu very much needs this 60,000.

She can’t necessarily grab Immortal Heaven Fruits every day; even with points she might not get them, so each fruit is crucial.

Two paths lay before her.

One is to give up and continue saving for her sister.

The other is to eat the fruits, but even if she gains strength, she might not succeed because climbing requires skill too.

Chen Zhuoqu thought about it and turned to leave the crowd.

Yet after taking two steps, she stopped again.

She does not want to miss this opportunity.

Seasoned gamers know that when a hell-level challenge path lies before you, the end of this path must hold the greatest reward.

"At the worst, I’ll work harder on scoring, at the worst, sleep at the Points Exchange Location entrance every day," Chen Zhuoqu clenched her teeth, and consumed the two Immortal Heaven Fruits at once.

Sixty pounds of strength flowed like warmth into her limbs and bones.

This is the first time she’s eaten food redeemed with her own points.

Chen Zhuoqu used an elastic band to tie back her hair and resolutely joined the queue.

She cautiously secured her safety rope and began climbing from position 31.

But things were more difficult than expected; although her strength increased considerably, reaching the six-meter mark faced a slightly protruding rock that, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t stabilize her position.

"No!" Chen Zhuoqu lost grip on the next leverage point, her entire being plummeting toward the ground.

Her rapidly falling body made her feel the threat of death, and in the next moment the safety rope tightened, pulling her fiercely toward the cliff.

With a thud, Chen Zhuoqu felt her right side start to ache.

Pain as if tearing through her heart!

Only then did she understand that strength alone isn’t enough; skill is essential!

The machine gently set her back on the ground, Xiao Qi walked over carrying a bamboo basket and handed some Chicken Blood Sprout to her, "Both right arm and right leg are scraped, chew it and apply it yourself."
