Chapter 104 Score
These water streams are not particularly aggressive, but they are continuous and have a certain stickiness. They look like clear water, but they have a muddy feel to them.
The water flow was bad enough, but the iron chain suspension bridge underfoot was also very difficult to stand on, as if it was subjected to some kind of vibration. And when someone tried to take a shortcut by leaving the iron chain suspension bridge and diving underwater to avoid the impact of the water flow and the vibration,
As soon as they entered the water, they discovered that the currents were turbulent, making it difficult to even maintain their shape, let alone move towards the small island in the landing area.
The two young men had only been in the water for less than twenty seconds when they hurriedly fell back onto the suspension bridge.
This suspension bridge is quite interesting. It only causes water flow and vibration when Fu Que and his group move forward. If they stop, the interference disappears.
If there were no time limit, the best option would be to advance a certain distance and then stop to rest. Unfortunately, the man with the military posture only gave Fu Que and his group twenty minutes.
After two or three minutes of trying, the group was panting heavily. They had already exhausted a lot of physical strength and energy in the previous acrobatic performance, and now they were facing this test. These selected elites could hardly contain themselves.
The two young men who entered the airship before Fu Que exchanged glances, both able to read each other's thoughts. They remained silent, each taking out a bracelet from their pockets and putting it on their wrists.
A faint red light appeared, and when Fu Que looked over again, the two young men were no longer as disheveled as before as they had been.
Neither the clear water rushing around them nor the tremors from the iron chain bridge beneath their feet could shake their figures. They walked steadily step by step, and in a short while, they had already left Fu Que and the last person far behind.
"Northern Camp Warrior Ring: The user can consume the national fortune energy to empower themselves with the power of a mountain-carrying warrior, lasting for five minutes."
Before Fu Que could speak, the last young man snorted coldly. When he saw Fu Que looking over curiously, he curled his lip, clearly having no interest in explaining to Fu Que.
He simply stuck the two iron pieces to his trouser legs. In an instant, Fu Que seemed to see a handsome, ethereal figure flash by behind the young man. When he came to his senses, the figure was also far ahead of him.
"The Eight Immortals each display their unique abilities when crossing the sea."
Fu Que chuckled. Just as he was about to activate his temporary wind elemental power to protect himself and pass the test, he inexplicably glanced at the airship landing on the island not far away.
With just one glance, Fu Que abandoned the idea of using temporary wind elemental power. This entrance exam was probably not that simple. Relying on external forces seemed...
After pondering for a while, Fu Que decided to follow his intuition. For him now, without using the temporary power of wind element, he could pass the entrance test by relying on his keen insight into the real world and the physique enhanced by the alternate painter swordsman.
Although the process was arduous and took a lot of time.
When Fu Que arrived at the landing island, soaking wet and with several bruises on his cheeks from being thrown across the iron chain bridge, almost right on time, the young men all looked at him with impatience and disdain.
The impatience stemmed from the fact that Fu Que alone had delayed everyone's progress by more than ten minutes, while the disdain arose from the fact that Fu Que truly possessed no extraordinary equipment whatsoever, only a single knife, a standard-issue embroidered spring knife.
The soldier standing with his hands behind his back, waiting, said nothing. He showed neither appreciation for Fu Que's ability to pass the test, nor disdain for the young people's trickery. His gaze remained as calm as ever.
Just when the group thought they had passed the test and were finally able to enter the den of the tigers in Yuntai Prefecture, they received another childish task: cleaning. They had to clean the airship, the power compartment, and even the inside and outside of the airship, making sure it was spotless.
Fu Queyi realized that this job was no easier than passing the entry-level test. The recovered airborne seats were one thing, but the real challenge was dealing with the power cabin, the energy patterns and matrices etched on the inner and outer walls of the airship.
Although they were provided with special cleaning agents for maintenance, a large bucket of water had to be changed every time a small area was cleaned.
What's even more unacceptable is that they can't use the lake water that's readily available around the island; instead, they have to go to a designated area in the center of the island to fetch water.
And so, the four of them carried water back and forth, stirred it, and wiped it clean. Overnight, they had only cleaned a small portion of the airship.
The airship's various areas were strictly divided into three-day workdays; if the mission was not completed, there would be no food or rest.
So, for the first three days after the four tiger cubs arrived at the tiger's den, they spent their time in a cycle of hunger, fatigue, and exhaustion. Eventually, they could no longer even smell the strong smell of fuel residue and cleaning agents on their bodies.
After finally cleaning up the airship, the four of them returned to their temporary barracks and went straight to sleep, without even taking a shower or eating.
During these three days, Fu Que demonstrated absolute obedience and patience, strictly following the requirements of military orders, leaving no corner untouched, and repeatedly wiping away even the slightest bit of energy etching that had leaked out.
The cleaning and maintenance of the airship's power system and matrix transmission were also carried out with great care.
Although I haven't systematically studied this subject, thanks to the real perspective of the alternate artists, even that ill-tempered Mediterranean captain didn't make sarcastic remarks about it.
The other three young men were only serious for the first half of the night, but they became noticeably lax and careless afterwards. Seeing that Fu Que, this country bumpkin, was as serious as ever, they intentionally or unintentionally left the most difficult and complicated parts to Fu Que.
Although it may seem that the four of them are doing about the same amount of work, in reality, Fu Que alone can do the work of the other three.
Fu Que wasn't stupid; of course he could see through these people's little tricks. It wasn't that he didn't care, but rather that he had learned from experience in the Dragon Tiger Guard of Gaoyang County: losses must be suffered openly, while blessings must be enjoyed in secret.
Seeing Fu Que's attitude, the three young men were happy to go along with it and dump even more work on him.
While the four tiger cubs were fast asleep, six people were having a meeting in a small conference room in the Tiger's Den of Yuntai Prefecture. Among them were the Mediterranean Captain and the sergeant major of the 10th Company.
The Mediterranean captain and chief petty officer exchanged a few whispered words, quickly wrote down scores on four forms, and then handed them to the others.
After the Tiger Riders passed the form around, it was handed to the leader, who glanced at it and frowned slightly.
