The Test was in full swing, with students exerting all their efforts to traverse the forest, cross the swamp, and climb the rocky walls in search of the Crystal that would prove their victory.
The large group of a thousand had clearly divided into distinct tiers during the Test. The differences in physical ability were significant, and now they were even more pronounced, dividing the participants into three parts:
Those still struggling on the path, the middle tier reaching Hilltop to find the Crystal, and the elite—those breaking through the swamp once again!
Of course, Lin, Lü Liang, and Fatty were among the elites. From the start of the Test, they had been at the forefront. At this moment, the three had reached the edge of the swamp, with only the forest left to cross to complete the Test.
Lin moved silently over the swamp like a shadow. He appeared calm; the muddy path of the swamp posed no obstacle to his progress.
Aside from the contribution of Shadow Step, he also benefited from Divine Sight, which allowed him to see through the conditions inside the swamp, making it impossible for him to fall into a pit.
He was at the forefront, the fastest among the crowd. As he leaped forward, Lin jumped over the edge of the swamp and landed on grassy ground belonging to the forest area. He couldn't help but smile proudly.
Turning his head to look back, he saw that Fatty and Lü Liang were not too far behind; their figures were still visible. The difference in physical ability among the three wasn't too great yet, as Lin had only recently started training in martial arts.
When he looked back this time, Lin noticed an amusing scene: Fatty seemed to be suffering from excessive Mental Strength consumption; his High-Energy Ion Scattering Device wobbled on his head, causing him to stumble and nearly fall.
This gave Lü Liang a perfect opportunity to pull ahead. Hearing the commotion, Lü Liang turned around and grinned widely, saying, "Fatty, can't hold on anymore? I'm going ahead! Second place is mine!"
Steadying himself, Fatty disdainfully raised his middle finger and shouted back, "What good is being fast? I'm still ahead of you; you're just a perennial second place!"
"Uh..." Lü Liang was at a loss for words and looked somewhat displeased but forced himself to retort, "Being second is still better than you!"
"Being second is still an addiction!"
In the meantime, the two of them were not slow in their movements. Fatty had already dashed far ahead, while Lin Ye quickly steadied himself, took a deep breath to adjust his internal energy, and prepared to continue sprinting.
After watching their banter, Lin Ye gasped for breath and thought to himself: The first one is mine! He turned and ran forward.
However, just as he turned around and had not taken two steps, he heard a "tat tat tat" sound behind him. Lin's ears were very sensitive; he could tell that it was the sound of a High-Energy Machine Gun.
"What’s going on?"
Filled with confusion, Lin turned back to look but saw nothing. All he could hear was the sound of the High-Energy Machine Gun coming from the top of the hill. It sounded extremely loud, likely from some outdated firearm.
"What kind of trouble are those scheming teachers up to now?"
Fatty and Lu Liang both stopped and looked towards the Hilltop. From their position, they could vaguely see some black shadows swirling around the Hilltop.
"Oh no! Liang, run! It seems something has happened at the Hilltop!"
Upon focusing his gaze, Fatty realized that what he thought were shadows were actually numerous small flying ships equipped with old-fashioned ship-mounted High-Energy Machine Guns, firing away!
As someone who valued his life, Fatty's first instinct was to hide. He quickly ran towards the base and in the blink of an eye had dashed far away, chasing after Lu Liang.
Lu Liang in front was also stunned, standing still as he gazed into the distance, seemingly not hearing Fatty's words.
At that moment, a dark figure approached from behind Lu Liang. Lin pulled Lu Liang and shouted angrily, "What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and go take a look!"
This person was naturally Lin. After seeing that something had happened at the Hilltop, his first reaction was to return to the base. But then he thought again; something wasn't right!
Most of the students were on the other side of the hill. By the time they ran back to the base and then returned, the food would probably be cold!
So Lin decided to head up to Hilltop first. As he took off running, Lü Liang and Fatty had no choice but to grit their teeth and follow.
The three of them had no idea what was happening ahead. Fatty even speculated that this was yet another "crazy idea" from the teachers. Although they felt a bit anxious, they weren't exactly scared.
As the saying goes, young calves are not afraid of tigers; the three of them ran toward the gunfire. Along the way, they encountered some other students, who also looked confused. However, seeing someone take the lead, they followed Lin and headed toward Hilltop.
Just after passing through the swampy area, a group of them was intercepted. It wasn't that the flying ships had arrived; they were still circling above Hilltop, seemingly stopped for some unknown reason.
The one who stopped them was a teacher they recognized well, someone who usually managed the students' skill training sessions. Although he didn't train Lin, they had seen him around.
This green-skinned teacher waved his hand to stop Lin and shouted loudly, "Stop! All of you, stop right now!"
"Teacher, what happened up ahead?"
Upon seeing the teacher, the group of students felt a sense of relief and were no longer as panicked, like chicks finding their mother hen.
"There is a special situation ahead; it seems there are enemies carrying firearms. The situation is currently unclear, and it’s too dangerous up ahead. You all need to return to the base and report to Teacher Bai!"
The Green-Skinned Teacher quickly reassured the students with a few words before using his communicator to contact other teachers. A few moments later, he disappeared from view along with several others.
Seeing this situation, the students became increasingly anxious. Those with courage immediately turned back toward the base. Once one person started running, others followed suit, and soon most of the students chose to flee back to safety.
Seeing this unfold, Fatty gritted his teeth and realized things were getting complicated. He turned to Lin and asked, "Bro, what should we do?"
Lin Yao looked towards Hilltop, where hundreds of spaceships were hovering, a massive number. If they were indeed enemies, the battle there would likely be intense.
“Let’s go back and find Teacher Bai; it looks too dangerous up at Hilltop.”
Lin remained silent, while Lu Liang frowned at this statement. Years of being a student had turned him into a compliant person; although he was talented, he still hadn't escaped the essence of being a student.
“No, we must go over there. If they are really enemies and in such large numbers, it would be difficult for just a few teachers to resist. We might still be able to help.”
Staring at the hovering spaceships in the distance, Lin's gaze was profound.
“But…” Lu Liang hesitated.
“There are no buts. If the teachers fall, we will be the ones in trouble next. Without their help, we will only become lambs to the slaughter!”
His powerful words struck like a hammer, shaking everyone’s hearts. The remaining students looked at Lin with astonishment.
At that moment, his potential as a leader was evident; Lin's eyes saw more than just the present; they glimpsed possible futures.
“Those who want to fight, follow me! Those who are afraid can go hide in the base with those cowards!”
With a roar, Lin Da waved his hand and charged towards Hilltop!
