Chapter 1346: Chapter 743: Breaking the Inner Demon, Life-or-Death Trial! (Part 4)

Da Yu pondered for a moment and said, “This guy was used by King as a death warrior. The time he left earlier was probably to safely transfer the taboo object before coming back up the mountain. It’s a pity, planting these two corpses on Whale Island could also yield taboo objects, but it would take decades for that to happen.”

Yang Yang shook her head, “Qing Chen specifically instructed earlier that he isn’t sure if the taboo objects grown on Whale Island can leave the island. Logically, a taboo object can’t be destroyed, but nobody knows if Whale Island’s rules might override those of the two new taboo objects. So, he wants you to plant them elsewhere.”

“Where to be planted?” Da Yu asked.

“Midway Island,” Yang Yang replied, “There are no local residents there, but it’s North America’s undersea cable junction station, submarine base, and navy and air force forward base. It’s an important naval military base for North America. Creating a new Taboo Land there won’t spread because of the island’s limitation and can completely scrap this military transit hub, making it the best location.”

“Understood,” Da Yu nodded, “I’ll take care of this with Zard.”

An hour later, a coughing sound came from within the Death Shroud.

Yang Yang hurriedly opened the Death Shroud, her slender hand slid under the boy’s shirt, feeling around his abdominal muscles, “The wound in the abdominal cavity has healed.”

She then moved towards Qing Chen’s chest, only to feel a deep scar, “The wound on the chest hasn’t healed.”

Qing Chen, pale-faced, joked, “The examination is too thorough.”

Yang Yang’s delicate hand moved, “Come, let me check other places too, don’t leave any lingering issues.”

Qing Chen smiled and grasped her wrist, “Stop, stop, how can you treat a wounded person this way? Where’s the Black Ointment? Let me put some on my chest.”

“Let me apply it for you,” Yang Yang, seeing Qing Chen was fine, became excited.

After applying the ointment, Yang Yang handed Qing Chen the object from Beyond the Three Worlds. He put it back on his wrist and said, “Could you please carry me back to the summit? My backpack and snowboard are still up there.”

Yang Yang took him flying, picked up the snowboard on the mountain, and returned to the Mount Everest Summit.

They saw Qing Chen slowly open his backpack and take out a new set of snowboard bindings, which were intact and unmodified.

Yang Yang was a bit surprised, “Are you going to continue the life-and-death challenge?”

“Yes,” Qing Chen nodded, seriously putting on his equipment again, “We are about to cross worlds. We need to explore Tinder Company’s secret base underground and face the pressure from a demigod. Of course, we need to complete the challenge before crossing. Over an hour is enough.”

Yang Yang thought for a moment and said, “But you’re still injured now. Haven’t you seen how pale you look? Actually… waiting for your chest wound to heal wouldn’t be too late.”

Qing Chen recalled the words of the Sherpa: The hardships encountered on a journey are merely tests, and once decided, one should proceed despite the wind and rain.

Otherwise, you’ll blame bad weather today, bad luck tomorrow, when will you reach the end?

Qing Chen put on the snowboard and sat at the edge of Mount Everest, watching a black storm sweep overhead. He smiled and said, “Initially, I climbed the sheer cliffs of Green Mountain, even when someone shot at me with a hand crossbow, I managed to keep climbing. At that time, I thought, what more could I lose? Barefoot, I’m not afraid to wear shoes.”

“Later, I was no longer that poor kid. I possessed wealth that many couldn’t attain in a lifetime, and organizations many couldn’t build. So I always wanted my life-and-death challenges to be more secure, to engage in them in the best state, without distractions.”

“But now I realize, once I got involved in the core of two worlds, that opportunity simply never existed. There will always be someone who wants to jump out and plot against you, someone who wants to hinder your progress. That opportunity without distractions, I can never seem to find it.”

Qing Chen: “On Whale Island, I brought out so many knights. I initially thought it was I who needed to teach them some principles, but later realized they taught me many things. Watching that idiot Hu Jingyi pass through self-reflection and climb the sheer cliffs of Green Mountain, I finally understood the detour I took this time… Indeed, the process of challenging life-and-death is a repeated passage of self-reflection.”

In life, each phase has its own inner demons. During this journey, from a poor kid to a man of great wealth, Qing Chen’s reluctance to take risks had broken.

The chasing, hunting along this path, Qing Chen also saw it as part of the life-and-death challenge.

A knight is born to face danger and challenges.

Qing Chen stood up, looked down the mountain, and then turned back to Yang Yang with a smile, “Thinking about it, it’s truly shameful. Sometimes, I’m not even as good as my disciple Hu Jingyi.”

Saying so, he initiated the Knight Reverse Breathing Technique, without revealing the icy blue patterns on his face, as they were hidden beneath the mask.

This Breathing Technique would last for an hour. During this time, he wouldn’t be able to use the knight’s abilities as all the cloud gas in his body retracted into his heart.

The next second, he reversed the breathing technique of the God of Thunder. In an instant, the thunder slurry in his body contracted into his mind.

Both breathing techniques would last for an hour, during which Qing Chen would be a completely ordinary person. Even if an F-class appeared along the way, he might not survive.

Qing Chen put on the goggles, “Life is just at its beginning. If I can’t die, I’ll keep moving forward!”

With that, he suddenly leapt from the mountain peak, landing lightly on the snow slope below, sprinting towards a new life.

Though his body was battered, his spirit was intensely vibrant.

Yang Yang sat back on the mountain peak, resting her chin in her hands, her eyes sparkling as she watched the young man. She understood why she liked him.

Knights naturally possess a special charisma. Being around them allows one to see a different world.

Yang Yang didn’t continue watching because she knew that already transformed Qing Chen would undoubtedly succeed.

Presumably, the next time they met, he would be an A-class knight.
