It's no exaggeration to say that it's even possible to achieve an invulnerable body.
“Chu Kuangsheng is ruthless, but as an instructor, he’s quite good.”
Mingxi looked at Duanjian Sea, thinking about another matter.
What would broken sword essence blood be?
The mission only required her to collect 7, indicating that broken sword essence blood would definitely not be something easily obtainable.
At least not those strange ‘broken swords’ Floating on the sea surface.
Regarding the time-limited missions, she really needed to ask Chu Yanwang properly; she didn’t understand half of the six missions.
Star Ascension and Throne Rampage were the easiest to understand; simply put, they involved Beastmaster battles.
She was familiar with that.
She also understood collecting yin mist stone.
yin mist stone is a type of evolved stone from the Lantern Ghost's Yin Mist Zone, formed when yin mist liquefies and merges with resin and other natural colloids, continuously accumulating and solidifying into a crystal.
It's somewhat similar to the formation principle of amber.
yin mist stone has no other major use, but it is deeply favored by many Ghost-type and Demon-type Transcendent creatures, who treat them as delicacies.
There's a certain chance of learning new skills.
It’s equivalent to a Skill Stone for Ghost-type and Demon-type Transcendent creatures.
yin mist stone can only be collected by entering the Yin Mist Zone.
The problem wasn’t big; anyway, she had originally planned to take Golden Yuanbao to seek opportunities.
But the remaining three missions left her completely clueless.
broken sword essence blood and xingyuan fruit still offered some clues; the former must be related to Duanjian Sea, and the latter must be related to the Hallucinating Star Affinity Tree.
But what the hell was Mission 3, “Capture Shen Linhua”?
Who was Shen Linhua? A terrorist? A serial killer?
If it really were either of those, then she was sure Chu Kuangsheng and the others were absolutely insane!
Mingxi had seen the photo Chu Kuangsheng sent her; the man had a delicate, clean face, like a sunny, cheerful big brother next door.
From his appearance, he didn’t look like a terrorist who would harm society, nor did he resemble a sinister, perverted serial killer.
So, who exactly was Shen Linhua?
And how was she supposed to capture this person?
“Shuishui?”
Shui Youruo poked Mingxi’s waist with her tail, bringing her attention back.
Mingxi guessed it was probably asking if she was going to Shixian Cliff now.
Today, only the last regular training item remained unfinished.
Climbing from Shixian Cliff to the summit of Huangquan Mountain to pick Huangquan Grass.
She glanced at the time displayed on her personal terminal.
10:32
Unconsciously, it was already approaching noon.
And the daily high-level competitive matches would officially begin at 1 PM.
In other words, excluding time for eating, brushing teeth, showering, and changing clothes, she only had 2 hours left to complete the last regular item.
She didn't think she'd have time in the afternoon.
“Go to Shixian Cliff now.”
No more dawdling.
According to the rules of the high-level competitive match, if she didn't respond and appear within two minutes of being challenged, she would also be judged as having lost.
“Shui.”
Shui Youruo seemed to sense her urgency, let out a soft cry, and immediately activated the Water Domain beneath her, entering rapid travel mode.
The shaking made Mingxi feel a bit dizzy and disoriented.
Soon, they arrived at the canyon where Shixian Cliff was located.
It was very quiet here at this time; besides the Hallucinating Star Affinity Tree, there was no other living creature.
At this time, all the special trainees should have gone to do their regular missions.
They were either in the special training base or scattered throughout the island.
The Hallucinating Star Affinity Tree nearby noticed their arrival, and its branches began to twitch continuously as if it had Parkinson's.
The twitching made the leaves rustle and fall in a flurry.
The balloon house connected to its trunk also vibrated slightly.
Mingxi scratched her head, “Why does the Hallucinating Star Affinity Tree seem so agitated?”
And it looked like it was... angry?
“Shuishui.”
Shui Youruo smiled even more gently, again poked her waist with her fishtail, and then pointed to Shixian Cliff. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Reminding her it was time to go up.
And ignoring the Hallucinating Star Affinity Tree.
Mingxi: “...”
Don’t think that just because you smile beautifully, I can’t see the look on your face, wanting to watch me make a fool of myself.
Mingxi adjusted her clothes and pants again, then walked to the crevice in the mountain, rubbed her hands, grabbed a horizontal thorn, and was about to exert force to pull herself up.
With a “swoosh,” her hand slipped from the thorn.
“Splat.”
She landed on her butt on the ground.
Mingxi’s eyes were dazed, her face blank.
“Are these thorns artificially installed?” freeweɓnovel.cøm
Mingxi’s breathing was ragged.
These densely packed «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» spikes ‘growing’ on both sides of the cliff actually rolled, and they were also incredibly slippery; they couldn’t be this slick without several kilograms of lubricant applied.
Natural forces clearly couldn’t achieve this.
She had felt that Shixian Cliff was odd before; turns out, that was the oddity.
This place was originally man-made.
Looking at the layout of those spikes, she didn’t know who made them, but their personality must be very dark.
Mingxi complained inwardly.
She stood up and tried again.
Her plan to quickly ascend by using the spikes died in its infancy.
The spikes couldn’t be used as tools; they were absolute obstacles.
So, she could only climb using normal methods, meaning moving upwards by utilizing protruding rocks and recessed crevices on the cliff face.
But the presence of those spikes would make the climbing process incredibly difficult, increasing the danger by hundreds of times.
With a slight misstep, she could be impaled by the spikes.
She looked at the spike-covered cliff crevice in front of her, having the illusion that she was actually mutton.
Poke, string, roast over a fire, sprinkle with barbecue seasoning, add some cumin powder, and it would be a fragrant, delicious skewer of mutton.
“Just die then.”
Time waits for no one, and she would be busy in the afternoon.
Mingxi barely hesitated, carefully observed the distribution of the two cliff faces and the spikes, envisioned three suitable routes, and then began to climb along the first route.
The process was arduous.
Every foothold was like walking a tightrope at high altitude.
Many times, the omnipresent spikes were either pressing against her throat or poking her eyes.
Every minute, every second, was a struggle against her own heartbeat.
Because if her breathing became slightly more rapid, or her chest rose and fell a little more, she could be doomed.
The entire process was a hundred times more difficult than practicing punches in Duanjian Sea.
Adrenaline surged.
Several times, she almost really became a skewer of mutton.
Her limbs, waist, abdomen, and face were covered in wounds, all from being pricked or scratched by the spikes.
If her reaction speed and physique hadn't improved, she would already be dead.
Whenever this happened, Mingxi wanted to thank that Saint-grade Spirit-Devouring Blood Leech.
If it weren't for its Saint Domain cleansing, her physical fitness would definitely not have reached B-rank.
And if her physical fitness wasn't B-rank, she would definitely be a skewer of mutton by now.
Of course, she also knew that if her physical fitness hadn't already been B-rank, Chu Kuangsheng wouldn't have been able to formulate such a perverse training plan for her.
One can only say that cause and effect are inherently one.
...
A day passed, and the spacious platform above the special training base had now been transformed.
