Chapter 56 - Flying, Entering the Floating Forest
Chapter 56: Flying, Entering the Floating Forest
“Sorry, this is the decision of the higher-ups. I’m only in charge of announcing the results.” The soldier smiled and said.
“Wait, isn’t this a speed competition?” Chen Fei could not help but ask, “How can the time be reduced? There’s such a rule?”
“It’s true that it’s a speed competition,” the soldier said slowly, “but there are also special circumstances. You can actually encounter many interesting things in the wilderness. If you focus on speed and avoid everything, you will often miss out on a lot.”
“The hidden goal of this competition is actually not to see how quickly you can reach the Floating Forest, but to see how you deal with the situation in the wilderness. Didn’t you notice that there are no detailed rules in the competition? There’s only one condition.”
!!The three of them seemed to understand something.
They realized at once.
It was a life lesson.
“Wang Che, you’re amazing!” Bai Youyou could not help but say, “Did you already know? Did you purposely wait so late? You must have encountered many things on the way, right?”
“We were foolish.” Chen Fei shook his head, “We only focused on speed… to think I calculated the best route and avoided so many soul beasts… this time, you’ve really won.”
“Look, I said it’s better to be alone, right?” Cheng Cheng sighed, “I encountered a few injured deer on the way. I wanted to leave quickly, so I didn’t care. I felt that if I had saved them back then, I would have encountered some special things.”
“You’re the best.”
Wang Che: “…”
‘I really didn’t think that much…’
However, Cheng Cheng also encountered a deer, which surprised Wang Che.
Wang Che remembered that the valley was quite big. The injured deer had probably escaped…
It was not the only one.
However, he was the only person who chose to save the deer.
“Alright, you have two choices now.” The soldier continued, “One, enter the Floating Forest now. The advantage is that you can quickly enter the second competition and pluck the Heart Rending Flower. The disadvantage is that the Floating Forest at night is very dangerous.”
“Secondly, you can rest here for a night and enter at dawn. The advantage is that the Floating Forest during the day is not that dangerous. The disadvantage is that you might lag behind others in the competition.”
“The time to enter the Floating Forest is for one day. That is, until tomorrow night.”
Wang Che pondered for a moment and said, “I’ll go in now.”
“Alright, register and sign the document. You can enter directly. Entering the Floating Forest requires the use of the soul pet’s power. Do you see those floating forest lands? Most of them are unknown. What you encounter will depend on your own luck.”
The soldier’s expression turned serious. “If you encounter danger, don’t hesitate to press the communication device on your wrist. Your life is more important than anything else. At the same time, your communication devices have a shared channel that can contact each other. If there’s danger, you can also help each other.”
The few of them nodded. They naturally knew this.
“If you’re ready, let’s go.”
The way to enter the Floating Forest was quite interesting.
There were jumping platforms nearby.
From the jump platform, one could eject a person and soul pet to a certain height.
After reaching this height, how he fell into the Floating Forest was his problem.
If he could not even go up, the army below would use the reason that he was not suitable to enter the Floating Forest to persuade him to retreat.
Of course, since they could become the champion of the various major cities’ Enlightenment Cup, they were basically all good enough.
It was not to the extent that they could not even enter the Floating Forest.
Wang Che calculated that the Floating Forest was made up of many floating pieces of land. On the ground, there were plants, stones, mud, tombstones, and so on. That was all he could see.
They were not big. All he could see was less than ten square meters.
There were the most plants.
Secondly, it was a certain height from the ground. Ordinary people naturally could not go up.
Wang Che walked to the platform. There were huge and simple springboards below.
Actually, the troops stationed here definitely had a safer method to send them up.
Just those Alert Eagles could definitely bring them up, but they still let these students go up on their own.
It was a small test.
With a leap, the few of them immediately flew up.
Chen Fei clearly had not adapted to this situation. Although his physique was not bad, the intense weightlessness made him spin rapidly in the air like a spinning top.
Bai Youyou was not any better. She hugged her Rolling Rock Weasel, her eyes spinning crazily in the air as she shouted.
In the end, Cheng Cheng was slightly better. Her limbs were outstretched as she threw herself into the sky and barely controlled her balance.
“All of them look so ugly in the air.” The soldier below shook his head, “They’re just children who have yet to awaken their martial souls. Their physiques are too poor and they haven’t undergone training. They aren’t good enough. There’s still a long way to go…”
As he spoke, he looked at Wang Che who was the last one.
“Holy f*ck!” The soldier exclaimed subconsciously.
The other soldiers immediately walked over.
“Damn!”
“Damn!”
…
In the distance, Wang Che jumped off the stage. He held the green caterpillar in one hand and carried it in the other. Like an immortal ascending to the heavens, he flew into the sky against the afterglow of the full moon.
In the moonlight, his posture was indescribably graceful and elegant.
“He’s a little too handsome! Who is he?” A soldier could not help but ask, “Even when I used my martial soul to fly, I was never this handsome…”
“So powerful. This young man’s control of his body feels better than us.” Another soldier could not help but say.
One could not underestimate the jump platform. The huge impact was difficult to maintain balance in the air without training.
Of course, because the Floating Forest was too big, the true Contract Soul Masters did not need to enter like this.
Most of them used their martial souls or soul pets to fly directly to the Floating Forest.
These jump stages were prepared for every batch of students who participated in the exploration.
“The key is that this posture is really something.” The soldier pinched his chin, “There is confidence in his elegance and confidence. It feels like it has been rehearsed countless times…”
Wang Che had obviously practiced it countless times.
He was a former Immortal Cultivator who had reached the Immortal Realm. How could his flying posture not be handsome?
Flying swords, immortal boats, Somersault Cloud, and using the wind…
Be it Dharma treasures or the spell techniques, Wang Che was proficient in countless positions that allowed him to fly.
To him, this was just too easy and natural.
“I haven’t enjoyed flying in a long time.”
Wang Che flew up into the wind and felt a little emotional.
After calculating the distance, Wang Che picked up the green caterpillar like it was a machine gun as he said, “Spit Thread, aim at the rock in front!”
“Ssss!”
The green caterpillar immediately spat out a thick white thread and stabbed it into the rock Wang Che had chosen.
“Pull back!”
The green caterpillar bit the white thread like Spiderman and brought Wang Che along to land steadily on the distant location…
