Chapter 167: Chapter 77: The Final Sprint (2nd update of the day)
Zhang Yuanren dashed swiftly under the canopy, his face entirely lit with confident smiles, all thanks to the special device mounted over his right eye??”the Ominus Night Vision Goggles, a cutting-edge product of a collaboration between Arabella Weapons Company and the Instrunt Research Institute of Dawn Academy.
The active night vision device enabled him to see through darkness as if it were nothing, and as for why it ended up precisely in Zhang Yuanren’s hands…
Heh~
A smirk ford at the corner of his mouth as he raised his hand; a forest owl swooping in through the night was pierced through by his dagger.
Rushing forward to pull out the dagger that had stabbed into the wood, he glanced back.
He should have already left that pack of blind fools far behind by now.
diocre talents, how could I possibly be lumped together with you!
As the night shrouded everything, inside the warship above the clouds,
Colonel: “Report the number of people in the first echelon, those more than 5 areas ahead, and record the information of the top three.”
Officer: “Reporting, sir, there are currently 18 people in the first echelon.
...
The first place in terms of straight-line distance is candidate number 8, Tataric, recorded as mixed-race with Outer Domain species, born in a Hunter family on Hengmu Star.
Second place is candidate number 1578, Mu Fan, a Loga Star orphan.
Third place is candidate number 683, Zhang Yuanren, grandson of Major General Zhang, heir to Birch Group and Arabella Weapons Company.”
When he heard Zhang Yuanren’s na last, the colonel’s eyebrows twitched.
“Continue monitoring.”
“Yes, sir!”
One couldn’t help but wonder what the strong-willed Young Master Zhang would feel after knowing he wasn’t in first place.
It was quite an amusing thought.
…
In the silent rainforest, the night washed away the heat of the dayti but also brought with it even more potential dangers.
At this mont, in the dense rainforest canopy, the sound of swishing was heard from ti to ti as a dark figure leaped swiftly among the trees.
As free as a fish in water!
Unrestrained and relaxed!
In the forest under the cover of night, eyes of various colors occasionally lit up??”it was ti for the nocturnal predators to hunt.
But the black shadow leaping high above, with a faint blood-red tint in his vision, also revealed his eyes’ special ability.
Mu Fan had been continuously using Blood-colored Vision for several hours, the pitch-black scene posed no obstacle to him, and he could even clearly see the thin branches extending in the distance!
Gurgle gurgle~
Hungry again!
With Blood-colored Vision activated, his physical exertion was greatly increased.
Earlier in the night, he successfully avoided several highly threatening Fierce Beasts using his enhanced visual ability, without even seeing their physical forms, as a surge of vivid red had already appeared within his view.
Looking down from above, there lurked a broadhead boar, maybe due to the unique environnt of the rainforest, this boar seed larger than any he had encountered before!
The figure flashed, and a dagger deeply buried itself into the back of the broadhead boar’s head that was preparing to hunt.
Mu Fan bared his teeth and exerted force, his arm muscles bulging, his fingers yanking the dagger downward fiercely!
Aow!
The broadhead boar didn’t even have a chance to thrash its body, emitting less than a single pitiful scream before breathing no more.
The skin, which could withstand bullets, could not withstand the cut of Mu Fan’s dagger.
The scent of blood spread, and Mu Fan already felt the rustling movents approaching from afar.
Other fierce beasts had slled the blood.
He skillfully cut away the mud-wrapped thick hide, then sliced off the most delicious piece of at from the back.
Mu Fan then, in just a few steps, climbed back up to the treetops.
Ti pointed toward 4 AM; he was now well beyond the military’s elimination zone.
He found a safe spot to light a fire and roast his at!
In the vast rainforest, countless candidates were struggling to survive in their own ways within this area.
All for those fifty slots!
Dawn arrived sooner than expected.
By the end of this night, only 57 out of the original hundred in the winner group remained.
The military began accelerating the elimination pace after 8 a.m., not by shortening the ti but by doubling the number of areas eliminated each ti.
It was clear that the military no longer wanted to continue this sluggish pace.
When the hands of the clock pointed to 11 a.m., only 43 people remained in the winner group!
Colonel finally showed a hint of a smile on his face, “Prepare to deploy the eliminated group!”
The order was given, and twenty mbers of the eliminated group, equipped only with basic combat uniforms and military daggers, entered the launch capsules and were simultaneously shot out from within the mountain.
Their launch destination was only fifty kiloters from the endpoint, the second closest distance after the top ten.
The military’s intention was to throw twenty candidates, full of energy, into the final reshuffle.
“How could we know their limits without pushing them to the extre?” the senior officials said with a smile as they watched the rapidly flying capsules on the screen.
63 people, the decisive battle for the top fifty spots!
The military now consciously began compressing the final battle area.
It was no longer a vertical compression on the map, but a compression from all sides towards the central area, leaving only one passage for people to advance through.
Having replenished his energy, Mu Fan still firmly held the lead in the first echelon, unaware that in just a few minutes, he would overlap with others for the first ti.
“Only 63 people left, I just need to overtake the last 13, and I have a chance!” a candidate with bloodshot eyes scread crazily, he was from the eliminated group who had fought fiercely all afternoon and managed to advance again!
As the foliage gradually began to thin out within the rainforest, visibility improved.
All the mbers of the observation teams inside the warship stood up at the sa ti.
Damn military, they finally shared the live feed!
When they looked at the screen, what appeared was an area of forest that had been artificially cleared, and from a high altitude, nurous black dots began to move swiftly within.
The terrain here started to flatten out, without the dangers and ruggedness of the forest.
From here on, an artificial forest belt, approximately 2 kiloters wide and 30 kiloters in length, erged!
The military’s purpose was finally revealed, to gather the remaining candidates after a survival of the fittest, to settle the battle within this thirty-kiloter-long forest belt.
At this mont in the footage, each candidate finally began to show their ttle, having survived the perilous natural environnt, all those remaining were elites.
“How can the first candidate be so fast?
He didn’t slow down at that small ridge, he actually sped up.”
“The last few dozen candidates are starting to speed up.”
“Focus on the top ten candidates!
No, focus on the top thirty!”
“Who is the third candidate?
He’s starting to accelerate in a straight line!
He’s about to et three mbers of the eliminated group after the zone compression.
Isn’t he afraid of exposing himself?”
The cloak fluttered with the wind, only secured by the clasp at the front of his neck, the entire cloak stretched taut by the resistance of his high-speed movent!
A head of tousled hair was blown back by the strong wind, and the blood-colored vision had not been turned off since last night.
When Mu Fan realized that the area had been compressed into a straight corridor, he no longer needed the concealnt effect of Dark Breath!
Mu Fan had completely discarded his backpack.
His bloodshot eyes stared straight ahead, and his feet rapidly bounced stride by stride, the electronic map tucked in front of his chest, and the dagger in his mouth.
After a day and a night of healing, and thanks to his astonishing healing power and two consecutive dical treatnts, his left hand had finally recovered seventy percent.
Now, both hands were alternately swinging with his steps.
His goal was simple!
The endpoint was right in front, that was where he was headed!
No need for tomorrow.
Today!
Today, he would reach the endpoint.
The Five Great Colleges…
I, Mu Fan ??” am coming!
