Knights and Messengers!

City No. 10 had originally had 22 challengers. Four had died in the disaster, leaving 18.

Unexpectedly, all 18 passed the challenge.

It seemed the disaster had given them strength even as it brought them pain.

On Green Mountain Cliff, the 99 successful challengers sat exhausted along the precipice, quietly watching the sunrise over the sea.

Only Chen Zhuoqu and Hu Jingyi were exceptionally energetic, as though they had not just climbed a six-hundred-meter cliff but flown up instead.

Once the Gene Lock was opened, life became entirely different.

Hu Jingyi honestly explained, "The boss said that the state he led everyone into with the Breathing Technique before the climb was the process of Heart's Inquiry. Everyone would see the things that hurt them most during Heart's Inquiry. You can't avoid them. Only by facing them, by looking directly at them, can you cross that hurdle."

"What did you see during Heart's Inquiry?" Chen Zhuoqu asked.

Zhang Hubao said gloomily, "I saw Grandma come back to life. She told me that as long as I didn't leave, I could keep living with her. I missed her so much."

The other challengers looked at the two of them enviously. "So as long as we pass that Heart's Inquiry and climb this mountain, we can advance? Are you Superhumans now?"

"Mhm." Chen Zhuoqu nodded.

In truth, no one was surprised that this female grind king had passed Heart's Inquiry. After all, the girl had already shocked them countless times.

Hu Jingyi, on the other hand, had exceeded everyone's expectations.

But when they recalled Hu Jingyi's persistence, they felt it made perfect sense.

Chen Zhuoqu and Hu Jingyi were two extremes. One had been born a winner, while the other had always been losing, yet both had passed Heart's Inquiry.

"What about us?"
