While the crowd was discussing, inside the gorge: “Big brother!”

A voice sounded behind Chen Ling, and Zen Douzhi quickly ran up to him, sticking out his butt. “Big brother! You’re so handsome!” ( Meaning: Give me a kick too, I missed that ride just now.)

Although this guy seems to be tormented by Chen Ling, he actually has some skills. Those with weaker abilities have always been in the middle or rear of the main group.

Chen Ling sneered, and this time it wasn’t a “BOOM,” but a “smack!” The sound of impact was heard. In an instant, Zen Douzhi flew into the sky.

“Ah!” Zen Douzhi’s painful screams echoed throughout the gorge, as if his butt had been slapped to pieces by Chen Ling.

The people behind saw this and were delighted. They quickly ran forward, wanting to present their butts to him as well. But unexpectedly, Chen Ling’s figure flashed, and he appeared directly below the main peak.

The two marksmanship mentor guides who were waiting at the finish line looked puzzled at the people falling from the sky. What’s going on? Thousands of people descending from the sky was truly a spectacular scene!

Chen Ling instantly locked onto Sui Li’er, predicted her landing spot, and stood on the ground with a smile, waiting patiently.

“Damn! Isn’t that the main peak ahead?”

“We were blown away for over ten kilometers by that energy?”

“Oh my god! Is this really happening?”

When Sui Li’er heard the people around her talking, she couldn’t help but look forward. Her mouth widened in delight: Does this mean I passed the assessment?

But where is Chen Ling…

As she was thinking, she saw him on the slope of the volcano.

“Hehe~ Lord God!”

Seeing Chen Ling getting closer and closer, Sui Li’er quickly realized that she could jump right into his arms using this path! The thought made her happy.

She immediately opened her arms, resembling a gliding bird, her blue hair flowing in the wind. Like a descending angel, she flew towards him with a smile on her face.

Chen Ling smiled and opened his arms as well.

Meanwhile, the mecha girl, Luo Yuxiu, who was flying next to Sui Li’er, quickly took out her mobile device and started snapping photos.

Sui Li’er looked beautiful, and the scene was picturesque. Luo Yuxiu wanted to capture the moment when the two embraced. However, Sui Li’er didn’t notice her at all. Her eyes were only on Chen Ling.

With a single thought, Chen Ling neutralized all the potential and kinetic energy on Sui Li’er, completely disregarding the laws of physics. It felt as if he had caught a feather, gently and securely holding Sui Li’er.

“I’m so lucky! That energy just now, could it be… hmm?” Sui Li’er spoke, then looked at Chen Ling in confusion. “The energy just now couldn’t have been caused by you, right?”

Chen Ling shook his head with a smile. “How could it be me?”

“Oh, hehe, then I’m really lucky. Everyone is lucky!”

Just as she finished speaking, cries for help suddenly echoed from above.

“Damn it! Someone help me! I’m about to fall into the volcano!”

“Help!”

At that moment, the marksmanship mentor guides who were waiting in the sky took action and easily rescued them.

“What’s going on? Does anyone know what happened?”

The marksmanship mentor frowned as he looked at the thousands of people in front of him, hoping someone could provide an answer. At the same time, Yan Ran and Xi Wei’er flew over from a distance.

Yan Ran looked furious. Chen Ling’s actions had completely disrupted the assessment.

“Chen Ling!” Even before she arrived, she shouted in a loud voice.

Chen Ling sneered and silently activated his ability: “Memory Block within the area.”

〚 Ding~ Memory block within the target area is in progress! 〛

It’s better to have fewer complications. He also blocked the memories of everyone in the entire gorge who had this experience. Everyone believed that it was a strange energy that brought them here.

Yan Ran and Xi Wei’er were momentarily stunned in the air before furrowing their brows. After landing, they looked at everyone with confusion. “How did you all come here? When did you arrive?”

The two marksmanship mentors walked over. “These people flew over from your area?”

Yan Ran and Xi Wei’er nodded, still feeling confused.

“Do you two have any idea what happened?”

They both shook their heads in unison.

“Report, mentors! A surge of energy suddenly came from behind us and propelled us all here!”

“Yes!”

The four mentors pondered with furrowed brows, unable to comprehend.

Sui Li’er then asked Chen Ling, “Do you know what happened?”

He nodded. “It was a counter-impact wave caused by the collision, rebound, accumulation, and superposition of energy.”

Sui Li’er nodded with a serious look, not fully understanding. “Oh, that sounds really impressive.”

Chen Ling thought to himself that it would certainly sound impressive since he made it up~

“So, do these people’s results count?”

While the four mentors were discussing, Yan Ran’s mobile device suddenly rang.

“Hello? Vice Dean? Oh… I see! Okay!” She hung up the call and looked at the people around her.

“The deans said that this time the results count. Everyone here has passed the assessment!”

“OH~~~”

Everyone cheered and jumped around like monkeys.

“Yay!” Sui Li’er happily bounced onto Chen Ling, wrapping her slender legs around his waist and tightly embracing his neck. She shouted in excitement, “Yay! I passed, Chen Ling!”

Chen Ling: ?? You sure can bounce quite smoothly…

“Huh?” Sui Li’er seemed to realize the situation as well. Why did this position feel weird?

Her cheeks instantly turned red! She quickly got off Chen Ling’s body and fell silent, shyly fidgeting with her fingers. That position was just too…ambiguous.

It wasn’t just an innocent hug!

Ten minutes later: “Cough~ I passed! Hehe~ It was mostly luck!”

Chen Ling smiled, “Luck is also part of one’s abilities.”

“Hehe~”

〚 Target: Sui Li’er, +100,000 points! 〛

With time running out, the first stage of the assessment came to an end. Out of over 10,000 participants, only slightly over 5,000 made it to this area.

The first stage eliminated more than half of the candidates. The candidates suffering from dehydration shock were also taken away.

The second stage: Immersing in Magma. This was the final stage of the Fire Element assessment.

Everyone followed Yan Ran and Xi Wei’er to the mouth of the Qianling Volcano’s main peak.

Of course, they weren’t going to immerse themselves in the magma. Perhaps the Grand Mages could, but these young mages would turn into ashes if they went down.

The four mentors handed out a small red flower to each participant. Everyone had to immerse the flower in the magma, which was over 1,300 degrees Celsius, for 10 minutes. As long as the flower didn’t burn, they would pass the assessment.

Yan Ran walked up to Chen Ling and Sui Li’er, taking out two flowers and handed them both to Sui Li’er. She didn’t want to touch Chen Ling’s hand at all…

Sui Li’er happily accepted the flower from Yan Ran and expressed her gratitude, “Thank you~”

Yan Ran simply smiled at her and then cast a complex gaze at Chen Ling before moving on to the next person.

“Hey, Chen Ling~” Sui Li’er happily took out a small flower and handed it to Chen Ling.

“I’m not being assessed, why are you giving it to me?”

“Oh? Right! Why did Yan Ran sister give me two flowers? Well, you can take one too~ Hehe.”

Chen Ling casually took the flower and held it in his hand, looking at the rolling magma in front of him without expression.

It was actually quite simple to make the flower last for ten minutes. There were many methods, and one could choose the most suitable one. However, no one dared to try without adequate preparation because they only had one chance. Without being fully prepared, they wouldn’t risk testing the waters.

Everyone was waiting for the first person to attempt it to see how it went.

Yan Ran and the other mentors randomly selected people for testing. They quickly chose over a hundred people, and then Yan Ran looked at Chen Ling and Sui Li’er.

“And the two of you.”

“Huh?” Sui Li’er looked at her with some confusion.

“The selected individuals will be in the first batch of testing.” After saying that, Yan Ran looked at Chen Ling and Sui Li’er.

Chen Ling: ???

What does this have to do with me?
