You've Narrowed Your Path, Classmate

Half an hour later, the Combat Assessment began.

Entrance 9, which had been closed all along, finally opened slowly at this moment.

The entrance is very large, estimated to be nearly fifty meters wide.

At the order of the person in charge, hundreds of candidates filed in and rushed into the forest, eager to gain the upper hand.

Lin Zichen wasn't in a hurry at all. Once everyone had rushed in and the entrance was no longer crowded, he led Shen Qinghan in slowly.

"Xiao Chen, there's a map and even signs in the forest!"

Shen Qinghan looked around and noticed a map standing upright ahead, with signs indicating how far it was from the deepest part of the forest.

There's also a warning highlighted in red above, saying that the deeper you go into the forest, the more dangerous it becomes; please proceed according to your abilities.

"The purpose of the college entrance examination is to select, not to eliminate all competitors. It's normal to have maps and signs; otherwise, there would be many more accidents resulting in injuries or deaths."

After saying that, Lin Zichen stepped forward, glanced at the map and signs, and randomly chose a route to go deeper into the forest with Shen Qinghan.

Throughout the journey, he carefully observed his surroundings.

There is a surveillance camera almost every 100 meters.

As for security guards, you can see one every 500 meters.

It can be said that as long as you don't intentionally cause death, this Combat Assessment is completely safe.

I walked about two kilometers.

Using the Biological Attribute [Eye of the Sky], Lin Zichen discovered a scoring card on a large tree in front of him.

It was a 1-point card, tied with a rope and hung more than ten meters high.

It's hard to notice unless you're paying special attention.

"Hanhan, there's a scoreboard on that tree over there, do you see it?"

"I saw it! It really exists!"

"Climb up and take the cards down."

For Lin Zichen, this Combat Assessment was meaningless; he could pass it with his eyes closed.

Therefore, he planned to let Shen Qinghan do her job for the next seven days to train Shen Qinghan wilderness survival skills.

He, on the other hand, was responsible for acting as Shen Qinghan's herbalist, stepping in to help Shen Qinghan solve problems Shen Qinghan couldn't handle.

The two had already discussed this before entering the forest.

Soon, Shen Qinghan arrived at the tree.

She quickly climbed up using both hands and feet, and in just a short while, she successfully retrieved the scoreboard that was hanging more than ten meters high.

"Xiao Chen, am I awesome?"

After climbing down from the tree, Shen Qinghan immediately returned to Lin Zichen's side and said smugly.

She climbed the tree and climbed it down in less than a minute, demonstrating her exceptional climbing skills.

"Sharp!"

Lin Zichen gave her a thumbs up.

After exchanging a few words, the two continued their journey deeper into the forest.

Lin Zichen was in charge of acting as the radar, reporting to Shen Qinghan where the scoreboards were so she could retrieve them.

After working together like this for half a day, the two of them easily scored 12 points.

Several safety officers along the way were amazed by the two men's performance.

No matter how well-hidden the score cards were, the two of them could easily retrieve them as if they were taking candy from a baby, as if they had X-ray vision.

In the blink of an eye.

It was already afternoon.

Just as the two were about to go find something to eat, the sky suddenly darkened.

I looked up and realized it was going to rain.

There happened to be a grove of banana trees not far away, so the two ran over there, tearing off banana leaves to use as a rain shelter, and picking some bananas to eat.

Just as the awning was erected, a torrential downpour began, with large raindrops pattering against the banana leaves.

"How lucky! We managed to set up the awning just before it rained."

Shen Qinghan stood under the awning, eating a banana as she spoke.

The heavy rain didn't last long, stopping in less than half an hour.

Seeing that it was almost evening, Lin Zichen urged Shen Qinghan to go out and find something to eat and drink, saying that they had to find something before dark, otherwise they would go hungry that night.

Shen Qinghan patted her chest and said, "Leave it all to me. You've always taken care of me, so let me take good care of you for the next seven days!"

The ground was covered with puddles after the rain.

Before long, Shen Qinghan's shoes and trouser legs were wet.

Strangely, she didn't feel uncomfortable; instead, she felt a slightly pleasant dampness.

She knew this was the effect of her undeveloped superpower.

It is very water-friendly and feels comfortable whenever it comes into contact with water.

"Is this fruit edible?"

Shen Qinghan found many wild fruits in a thicket, about the size of grapes, bright green in color, and very hard when she squeezed them.

Unsure if she could eat it, she turned to Lin Zichen and asked.

Lin Zichen refused to answer the question, smiling and saying, "You promised to take care of me, so I can't offer you help in something like this."

"Okay, I'll try it myself."

After Shen Qinghan finished speaking, she picked a fruit that looked relatively ripe, hesitated for a moment, and then put it to her mouth and took a bite.

The next second, she frowned, spat out in discomfort, and said, "It's so sour!"

In the blink of an eye, darkness fell, and night had fallen.

Shen Qinghan made a bed out of banana leaves, found some vines to fix the bed to a tree, and spent the night there with Lin Zichen.

She originally wanted to take off her pants to sleep, but then she remembered that Lin Zichen was sleeping next to her, which wouldn't be convenient, so she decided to trust that she wouldn't wet herself that night.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking.

When Lin Zichen woke up, he found Shen Qinghan sleeping soundly on top of him.

There was drool at the corner of his mouth, and some of it dripped onto his neck.

"Thank goodness I didn't pee..."

Lin Zichen glanced at Shen Qinghan's lower body and saw that her pants were dry, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, Shen Qinghan also woke up.

The two climbed down from the tree and continued walking deeper into the forest.

Just like yesterday, Lin Zichen acted as a radar, reporting the location of the scoreboard to Shen Qinghan so she could retrieve it.

Around noon, I ran into an acquaintance on the street.

It's that top student from Qianzhen City who tried to strike up a conversation with Shen Qinghan yesterday under the guise of forming a team.

Seeing the two of them, the boy said with some surprise:

"What a coincidence?"

"It is quite a coincidence."

Lin Zichen responded politely.

The boy quickly turned his gaze to Shen Qinghan, who was standing to the side. Just one more glance was enough to make his heart flutter, and he felt like it was about to explode.

So beautiful!

So cute!

If you don't get to know her today, you'll definitely regret it later!

Thinking it over, the boy took out the twenty-odd score cards from his pocket and displayed them in front of Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan, saying to them with great sincerity:

"I'm the kind of person who always repays kindness tenfold. I've always remembered the bread and biscuits you gave me yesterday."

"You might think it doesn't matter, but personally, if I can't repay your kindness in return, I'll feel terrible."

"Really, let me take you two under my wing. We'll split the score cards we collect equally among the three of us."

Combat Assessment is not very important in the Martial Arts College Entrance Exam; as long as you pass, that's enough.

The same applies to Written Assessment; as long as you pass, that's enough.

The only things that really matter are the Physical Fitness Test that have already been completed, and the final Compatibility Test.

That's why this top student from Qianzhen City was willing to divide the scoreboard equally.

Lin Zichen glanced at the scoring cards in the opponent's hand; there were 28 in total.

This is far more than the combined score cards he and Shen Qinghan have, almost three times more.

We're currently in the Outer Zone, where there aren't many scoring cards. It's impossible for one person to collect that many scoring cards in a day.

The top student from Qianzhen City in front of us has so many scorecards, most of which he probably snatched from other test takers.

Thinking of this, Lin Zichen said, "There's no need to team up. If you really feel bad and want to repay the favor, just give us your score cards."

Upon hearing this, the boy's face instantly turned ugly.

He sent out three team invitations, all of which were rejected, which made him somewhat angry and embarrassed.

"Hey kid, the road's too narrow."

The boy completely dropped his pretense, narrowed his eyes, and said with a hostile expression.

At this moment, Lin Zichen's Biological Attribute [Danger Perception] was constantly pulsating, sensing the intense malice emanating from the boy.

To this, he responded with a calm smile:

"Yes, the road has narrowed."
