Night Falls (First Update Today)
Mu Fan suddenly appeared in front of the handsome young man, his right hand with its thumb and forefinger out, and slammed the man's neck against the stone wall!
The enormous echo left no doubt about the power of the blow.
Is this telekinetic kid's brain damaged?
The alloy crossbow in Hai Dou's hand quietly turned back again.
He severely underestimated this person's fighting ability; thankfully, he hadn't released any killing intent just now.
The alloy crossbow was quietly slung behind his back.
Struck hard, the handsome young man let out a muffled groan, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Mu Fan's violent impact had directly gripped his neck; the move was far too ruthless!
"Do you still want my backpack?" Mu Fan asked, enunciating each word clearly.
But the handsome young man kept his eyes closed and didn't utter a sound.
At this moment, Mu Fan felt an unusual sticky sensation on his fingers. He grabbed the other person's neck and twisted it, revealing a large area of ulceration on the back of the neck, which was covered by the combat uniform.
The area I just pressed with my finger was the ulcer!
Judging from the shape of the wound, it looked very much like an infection caused by a wild beast attacking with its claws, and the area was quite large.
No wonder he asked for the medicine in his backpack. Seeing all this, Mu Fan finally understood and loosened his grip.
The other person slid down the stone wall, sat down on the ground, and looked up at Mu Fan.
"For you."
Mu Fan took out a bottle of First Aid Spray and a standard antibacterial medicine from his backpack and casually tossed them over.
Depending on the healing progress of his wound, he might need at most one more dose of antibiotics, or even none at all. As for the First Aid Spray, it's better than nothing for him, but it could be a lifesaver for him.
If there was anything else that Mu Fan decide to give him the medicine, it was that the boy showed no murderous intent whatsoever, and even when the dagger was turned outwards at the end, he did not attack his vital points.
Looking at Mu Fan with surprise, a hint of emotion finally appeared in the eyes of the handsome young man.
"My name is Shanguang... Thank you."
"Mu Fan." Seeing the other party's reaction, a smile appeared on Mu Fan's cold face.
High in the sky.
People in the college district noticed the commotion.
"This examinee who just arrived at the base is incredibly strong! Candidate No. 4919 was defeated in such a short time."
Have you found this candidate's information?
"... No, there was blood on his face to cover it up, so it can't be verified. However..."
"But what?"
"This candidate is very likely number 1578, because he used a similar move in his final match at the Jin Jilan Fighting Arena, but it is not recorded in the Federation Fighting Technique Encyclopedia."
"Number 1578? That kid who got a bye? No wonder, his rating will be raised by another 10 points."
"It's already at 70 points..."
"Our Pulan Military Academy must seize resources from these individuals!"
Those present understood that the "certain people" he mentioned were probably referring to the two major academies on the Capital Star.
"Alright, Candidate No. 1578, Mu Fan, with a current evaluation index of 80 points, is currently the third candidate the college is trying to recruit."
This kind of thing is happening in the observation rooms of several colleges.
Every candidate who appears will be added to the list of candidates to be closely monitored.
Now comes the real main event.
Once the rosters are finalized and the final competition is over, that's probably when the Five Great Academies will truly clash!
These are elites who have been tempered by life and death!
This year, some colleges have opened up the conditions for opening up.
Upper deck of the warship.
Officer: "Sir, the frequency of external communications among the various academies has increased by 340% since the start of the Finals."
The colonel scoffed, "These guys won't act until they see results."
Without saying anything more, he said that this year was the military's first pilot test, and they would have to rely on the academy to train them well.
It was already 7 p. m., and the sky was beginning to darken. The Rainforest was much darker than the outside world due to the shade of the canopy.
After replenishing his fluids, Mu Fan sat quietly and rested.
Because he was already five zones ahead of the military's elimination zone in a straight line, and no fifth person had appeared on this platform yet, Shanguang was resting and recovering against the wall. His mental state had clearly improved after receiving Mu Fan's medicine. As for the other two, it seemed they were planning to stay here overnight.
Such a good opportunity to recover from injury cannot be missed.
I took out my Electronic Map; it was already 8:00 PM, and the sky was getting dark.
The wind finally stopped carrying a scorching heat and began to feel slightly cool on the skin.
Night has fallen!
Mu Fan stood up, and the other three people simultaneously turned their gazes toward him.
What is he going to do?
Standing at the edge of the platform, a rose-red hue flashed deep within Mu Fan's eyes.
The night was as if nothing existed.
The Blood-colored Vision has been activated.
A gentle breeze ruffled his cloak. With his back to the three, Mu Fan gazed at the stars beginning to appear in the sky, a slight smile playing on his lips.
My left arm has recovered to 60%!
I took a deep breath; the night air was so fresh.
We can start our journey now.
Turning around and picking up his backpack, Mu Fan prepared to leave.
Where are you going?
Mu Fan turned his head and saw Hai Dou holding the alloy crossbow.
"Leave and continue on your way."
"At night... it will be difficult to proceed." This time it was Shanguang who spoke up. Without any light, marching at night in the unknown Rainforest terrain would be exponentially more difficult, not to mention the ferocious beasts that could appear anywhere, which is why he spoke up to warn them.
"Fine."
Looking back once, without a trace of lingering affection in his eyes, Mu Fan leaped down.
As night fell, some candidates who had not made progress during the day found themselves getting closer to the elimination zone and began to catch up.
But they soon realized they were wildly wrong.
The Electronic Map displayed to the test takers only showed their own location, so they didn't know how many people had set off at that moment, let alone how many people were trapped.
One candidate vaguely remembered that during the day there was a flat area covered with fallen leaves in front of him, but after he took a few steps in the dark, his legs suddenly gave way.
My left foot suddenly sank in.
Swamp!
Just as my left leg was about to be swallowed up, I took off my backpack and threw it forward, finally stopping the sinking trend thanks to the size of the backpack.
It took a full twenty minutes to climb out of the Swamp.
Touching the thick layer of mud on my legs, I felt boundless fear.
Only then did he regret not having traveled more during the day.
In the nearby area, another examinee was walking along the riverbank, but the ground was covered with pebbles, and he tripped and fell heavily to the ground.
Touching the stones of varying sizes in his hand, the examinee's eyes were filled with anxiety.
We can't let ourselves be eliminated like this!
She was carrying the hopes of her entire family on her shoulders, and she had already reached the final step!
He gritted his teeth, got up, and slowly moved forward, touching the stones.
Three hours later.
Many people in the academy area of the warship had already gone to sleep, but the military area remained brightly lit.
"Sir, bioenergy around Level 20 is starting to increase."
"How much will it increase?"
"A 59% increase in 8 hours."
"Level 25 and above?"
"Nothing was found."
"Then let's leave it alone. The number of people eliminated has reached 27. The next rescue team will be dispatched."
"Yes, sir!"
Under the night sky, shadowy figures began to appear in the dense forest.
It happened so quietly that no one knew about it.
