Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1233: Chapter 704: Knight and Courier!

In City No. 10, there were originally 22 challengers, and 4 perished in the disaster, leaving 18 remaining.

Unexpectedly, all 18 of them passed the challenge.

It seems the disaster not only brought them pain but also strength.

On the precipice of the green mountain, 99 successful challengers sat wearily on the cliff, quietly watching the sunrise over the sea.

Only Chen Zhuoqu and Hu Jingyi were exceptionally energetic, as if they had not just climbed a six-hundred-meter cliff, but rather flown up.

Unlocking the Genetic lock marked a different life.

Hu Jingyi earnestly explained to everyone: ”The boss said, the level he led everyone into with the Breathing Technique before the climb was the process of inner questioning, where everyone would see the most painful things. You can’t avoid it; you can only overcome it by confronting it head-on.”

”What did you see in the inner questioning?” Chen Zhuoqu asked.

Zhang HuBao said sullenly: ”I saw my grandmother resurrected. She told me that as long as I don’t leave, I can continue living with her. I miss her so much.”

The other challengers looked at the two with envy: ”So, as long as you pass the inner questioning and climb this mountain, you can ascend? Are you now Transcendents?”

”Yes,” Chen Zhuoqu nodded.

It wasn’t surprising to anyone that this King of Female Rolls could pass the inner questioning; after all, this girl had shocked them numerous times.

But Hu Jingyi was unexpected to everyone.

However, recalling Hu Jingyi’s persistence, it seemed reasonable.

Chen Zhuoqu and Hu Jingyi represented two extremes—one born to win, the other always losing—yet they both passed the inner questioning.

”What about us?” Zhang HuBao scratched his head: ”What should we, who haven’t passed the inner questioning, do? Is there no way for us to practice?”

”You can also become Transcendents, it’s just that the life-and-death challenges you faced, you’ll need to experience seven more times. Until you completely finish these challenges, you’ll remain Ordinary People,” Qing Chen said as he slowly walked out of the forest behind the green mountain cliff with Jinguji Maki: ”Congratulations, you’ve become Knights.”

Everyone stood up, looking at each other in disbelief.

Before today, they all speculated about the end of this path, but Qing Chen had never revealed the answer.

And now, this answer was worthy of everyone’s efforts during this period.

Knight.

The person who wiped out millions of mice with a breath of cloud gas in City No. 10 was a Knight.

The small dean before them, the new boss, was also a Knight.

All the successful ones saw the name of the Inner World God, Ren Xiaosu, in the last meter, also a Knight.

At the beginning of the crossing, He Xiaoxiao’s guide emphasized how powerful a legacy the Knights were.

Everyone’s eyes flashed with excitement!

Now they too have obtained this legacy, making all their past efforts worthwhile!

”I didn’t tell you what this path meant earlier because I wanted to see how far you could go on pure willpower,” Qing Chen said with a smile: ”I hope you’re not disappointed after knowing the answer.”

”Not disappointed, not at all,” Zhang HuBao’s eyes shined: ”For this legacy, a bit more hardship and effort means nothing.”

Chen Zhuoqu said: ”Boss...”

Qing Chen shook his head: ”From today onward, you can’t call me boss. According to the Knight Organization legacy, I am your master, and Uncle Li Dong is your grandmaster. Next time you see your grandmaster, remember to ask him for Taboo items...”

He continued with a smile: ”In the Knight Organization legacy, in your generation, Li Ke from Li Clan’s Financial Group is the first senior brother, Bai Zhouhu Xiaoniu is the second senior brother, Jinguji Maki is the third senior sister, Zhang Mengchan is the fourth senior brother, Chen Zhuoqu is the fifth senior sister, and so on. You will rank yourselves based on your climbing order.”

This situation was a bit awkward.

Everyone looked at Jinguji Maki, a nine-year-old girl, realizing she was their third senior sister...

Actually, Qing Chen was a bit surprised too, though his ranking prioritized inner questioning, Xiao Zhenji was different from Zhang Mengchan as well; she had indeed climbed the green mountain cliff yesterday!

When Li Tongyun mentioned being responsible for training Xiao Zhenji, Qing Chen didn’t take it seriously, but now seeing the scars on Xiao Zhenji’s body made him realize how brutal the training was; this Protector hadn’t relaxed at all.

Xiao Zhenji had been through devil training for so long, crying and training all the way.

The Taboo ACE-119 tissue box came in handy, with Xiao Zhenji and Xiao Tongyun continuously drawing tissues to wipe their tears.

To be honest, she did pull out a prophecy: in 7 hours, you will see someone getting beaten.

Sure enough, 7 hours later, Tong Yun got her butt spanked by Jiang Xue.

Xiao Zhenji grew braver with each setback.

Tong Yun got braver with each spanking, and even Jiang Xue couldn’t stop the two of them from going on their adventures.

They couldn’t just be tied up in their dormitories, right? In the end, they had to let the two little girls go.

In Li Tongyun’s words, it was actually easier for Xiao Zhenji to climb the green mountain cliff than others because she was young, lightweight, but strong, and more agile.

Moreover, Xiao Zhenji was smart and could master anything she learned quickly, not disappointing Tong Yun.

However, calling a nine-year-old girl ’third senior sister’ wasn’t the most awkward part.

The more awkward part was that, back in Qin Sheng’s era, Knight rankings stopped at twelfth junior brother, but now they ranked endlessly—up to ninety-sixth junior sister, ninety-eighth senior brother, a hundred and second junior brother—it sounded bizarre and ferocious at every mention.
