Chapter 657: The Knight's Path in the Outer World
Midnight, Whale Island was quiet.
The black seawater outside the island washed over the unchanging Whale Island for thousands of years. In the night sky, from time to time, international flights would flash their signal lights overhead, but the people on the planes did not know that there was a magical island hidden below.
In the dormitory area, the students were all asleep. Some people said that when they slept, they would mutter dream words like "points" and "give me points."
Li Tongyun and Shinguji Maki cried as they passed through the secret passage of the war fortress.
The two girls cried together, and Shinguji Maki comforted Li Tongyun while crying, saying, "Sister, don't cry."
Today, Li Tongyun took Shinguji Maki to train. After returning, Jiang Xue immediately saw the scars on Shinguji Maki's body and immediately spanked Xiao Tongyun.
Even though Li Tongyun was now close to B-Class, she did not dare to fight back against her mother and could only accept it with grievance.
Li Tongyun cried, and Shinguji Maki cried along.
Then Xiao Tongyun ran out with Shinguji Maki. Jiang Xue knew that the little girl would definitely go to Qing Chen to complain, so she didn't care.
"Master, please save my sister!" Shinguji Maki said in Japanese.
The voices of the two children were particularly loud in the war fortress.
But the next moment, as soon as they entered the fortress, they saw sixteen members of the Golden Family sitting cross-legged on the ground, each with a stalk of Purple Orchid Star in their mouths, silently cultivating.
"Oh! Little Seven, you're here too!" Xiao Tongyun stopped crying. She quickly wiped her tears and quickly wiped Shinguji Maki's tears.
She could cry unrestrainedly in front of Qing Chen, but she couldn't let others see it.
In Xiao Tongyun's view, the dignity of the Daybreak members could not be lost in front of outsiders. This world is like this, once people discover your weakness, they will want to bully you.
Little Seven opened his eyes and looked at them, then closed his eyes as if nothing had happened, and muttered softly to remind others: "Don't look, focus on cultivation."
Little Seven had also cultivated in Luo Wanya's backyard, so he knew that these two were the little princesses of Daybreak.
How could the little princesses' crying faces be seen by others?
Luo Wanya, the head of the Black Family, instructed that once on Whale Island, they should work more, watch less, ask less, and speak less, and everything should be arranged by the dean. This was their principle of action.
In fact, the Home Families were also very clear that the dean could make Lao Luo say such things, so the dean's identity was self-evident.
After all, in the entire Guardians' Union, only the Leader had a higher status than Luo Wanya.
Therefore, when Little Seven and the others saw Qing Chen, their eyes were filled with respect, making Qing Chen feel a little uncomfortable.
Qing Chen did not deny Little Seven's guess.
Anyway, he and Koshima, Shendai, and the Chen Family were mortal enemies, and having the identity of a Leader would still make them mortal enemies.
The more debts, the less burden.
At this moment, Qing Chen was also cultivating the fourth section of the Breathing Technique of the Myriad Gods Thunder Technique. When he heard the crying, he opened his eyes and smiled and asked: "What's wrong? Got beaten up again?"
Li Tongyun pulled Qing Chen aside and cried: "I know you're usually busy and don't have time to train Shinguji Maki, so I took her to the south of the island and let her materialize a cliff that could be climbed for daily training. As a result, my mother saw that she came home injured and only felt sorry for her, not for me! She's a knight, she'll have to pass a test sooner or later, and there's no knight in this world who doesn't suffer!"
Qing Chen was stunned. He touched Li Tongyun's little head: "You've worked hard."
When Li Tongyun heard this sentence, the grievances in her heart suddenly opened the floodgates, and she cried again, sobbing.
Qing Chen smiled and wiped her tears: "Don't cry, your mother is also worried that you're too naughty, after all, in her eyes, you're always a child. You still have your mother to spank you; I wish I had someone to spank me."
He knew that when he was imprisoned in A0 base, his family actually had to rely on Xiao Tongyun to stabilize the morale. At that time, Xiao Tongyun might have been scared to death herself, but she still had to pretend to be calm and urge everyone to cultivate.
Now, she had taken the initiative to share the pressure for him and train Shinguji Maki. Others could misunderstand Li Tongyun, but Qing Chen couldn't.
He also knew that this little girl was unusually precocious, but he didn't expect that after her experience in the Underworld Consortium, her maturity speed exceeded his imagination, at least much faster than Nangeng Chen and the others.
However, at this moment, Qing Chen suddenly thought of a problem: "You said, Shinguji Maki materialized a cliff in the south of Whale Island?"
"Yes," Xiao Tongyun nodded: "I just thought that everyone wouldn't be able to leave the island during the semester, so let's train on the island first."
Qing Chen's eyes lit up: "Come on, take me to your training place. Little Seven, watch the house, don't stop cultivating the Myriad Gods Thunder Technique, if someone comes to steal things, just beat them up."
"Okay," Little Seven agreed.
Qing Chen and the three of them came to the south of Whale Island, Xiao Tongyun tugged at his sleeve and said: "Brother Qing Chen, look at that forest, when I came here during the day, I saw shadows flashing from inside, it seems that someone else lives there."
Qing Chen nodded: "The things inside are very strange, even Zheng Yuandong will feel a sense of crisis when approaching, but as long as he stays away, the sense of crisis will disappear. Zheng Yuandong once thought of rushing in to kill, to prevent the students on the island from being injured by the things inside. However, after he rushed in, the things inside hid and were unwilling to meet him, seemingly a group of strange and cautious creatures. Later, the establishment of the Time Traveler Academy was imminent, Zheng Yuandong had no choice but to build the school first, and then put this matter aside."
This was also the reason why Zheng Yuandong rarely left the island now. He was worried that the things in this forest would harm the students, so he decided to guard it personally.
As they spoke, Qing Chen felt that he was being watched. He suddenly looked towards that forest.
However, the forest was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
The feeling of being watched was fleeting.
Qing Chen didn't think much of it, but turned to Shinguji Maki: "Can you materialize a snow mountain with an altitude of over 8000 meters for me?"
This was the environment he needed for his next Trials of Life and Death.
Shinguji Maki thought for a moment, and the next second, a majestic snow mountain rose from the ground in front of them.
The scene of a magnificent snow mountain appearing out of thin air was too shocking.
But a sudden change occurred. When the snow mountain grew to 100 meters, the peak seemed to have exceeded the height limit of Whale Island, and it was constantly being erased by the rules, turning into dust.
Qing Chen shook his head: "Stop."
It seemed that not all challenges could be completed on this Whale Island.
But if it could reach 100 meters in height...
Qing Chen looked at Shinguji Maki: "Materialize a 0-meter by 0-meter piece of white paper for me, and a pencil."
After speaking, he actually lay down on the white paper that had just been materialized and began to draw, using a one-to-one pixel-level replication method to reproduce the Qingshan Cliff.
Qing Chen even marked the location of each predecessor's inscription on the notebook, as well as the details of the texture of the stone wall.
The words left by Ren He, the founder of the Knights, and the words left by other Knights, he reproduced them all one by one.
This painting took him a full two hours, earnestly and solemnly.
This scene didn't look like he was painting; it was more like he was recalling a beautiful period of his life.
Xiao Tongyun and Shinguji Maki watched seriously. The snow mountain shrunk back to the ground, and immediately afterwards, a 600-meter-high Qingshan Cliff rose from the ground.
Qing Chen stood at the foot of the Qingshan Cliff and carefully stroked the stone wall.
Actually, rock climbing was only one of the Trials of Life and Death. The Knight's path didn't necessarily have to start here; in the Inner World, they could find a 600-meter vertical cliff to replace it.
However, the Qingshan Cliff had a completely different meaning for the current Knight Order.
The names and words on it were the starting point of a Knight.
Qing Chen had been thinking that if children like Shinguji Maki couldn't go to the Inner World to challenge, then they wouldn't be able to see the Qingshan Cliff, and the Knight's path would be like a missing piece of the puzzle. The spirit left by the Knight ancestors and the process of climbing to the top with many Knights.
But Qing Chen didn't have to worry anymore.
From today on, the Outer World would also have its own Qingshan Cliff for Knights, and many people's dreams would start here.
However, something seemed to be missing from this Qingshan Cliff.
Qing Chen turned to Shinguji Maki and smiled: "Master will take you to climb the Qingshan Cliff once. Don't close your eyes, you must remember how I climbed up."
He tied Shinguji Maki to his back with a rope, and then used his hands to apply magnesium powder, climbing up to the top little by little.
Qing Chen knew what was missing here.
This Qingshan Cliff was still missing a climbing route that the predecessors had opened up for their successors with magnesium powder!
On the Qingshan Cliff in the Inner World, the white magnesium powder had already been imprinted on the stone wall, so every time a Knight climbed up, they would be guided by their predecessors, and the magnesium powder marks were the best climbing route.
That road in the Inner World started with the founder, Ren He.
And the road in the Outer World started with Qing Chen.
When they climbed halfway up the mountain, Shinguji Maki closed her eyes because she was a little afraid of heights.
Qing Chen grabbed a crack in the cliff with one hand and suddenly asked: "Maki, do you remember what I told you when I was in Japan?"
"Maki, from today on, you will have to walk the farthest road among all the shortcuts in this world.
Don't be afraid, when you feel fear, you must open your eyes and look at the fear until it is no longer your fear."
Shinguji Maki opened her eyes and carefully observed every move Qing Chen made, then memorized them all.
Xiao Tongyun stood at the foot of the Qingshan Cliff, watching the two Knights enter the clouds.
She suddenly felt that it was actually quite good to be the guardian of such people.
Qing Chen also set up a total of 8 cliff climbing points near the Qingshan Cliff, from 1 meter to 40 meters, with increasing difficulty, and without protection for the Academy; students need to climb without protection. Each time a cliff is climbed, they will receive 00 points and one Jingshan Tea, Eternal Heaven Fruit, and Purple Orchid Star each.
This reward was enough to drive all the students crazy!
At this moment, Qing Chen finally understood the meaning of this Time Traveler Academy and points to himself.
He wanted to choose people with strong minds and courage from those seemingly ordinary children to become his future companions.
No Trial of Heart, just walk the path of the Knight ancestors.
This is the birthplace of the Outer World Knights, where dreams begin.
