Godslayer: The different abilities represented by the twelve two-hour periods of the day

"Attention everyone!"

Instructor Hong walked in through the cafeteria entrance with two other instructors, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"This afternoon is your first extreme training session! After lunch, everyone gather at the back of the cafeteria! Understand?!"

"Yes."

All the new recruits spoke in unison.

Instructor Hong nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this; finally, they were starting to look like soldiers.

After the instructors left, everyone started discussing it.

"Extreme training? Do you know about this kind of extreme training method, Qi Ye?" Baili Pangpang asked doubtfully.

"I don't know." At this moment, Lin Qiye was still thinking about what Instructor Han had said about the spiritual energy he lacked, and how he could grasp that spiritual energy.

As Lin Qiye was pondering, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Lin Shi was staring at him and couldn't help but ask, "What are you planning to do?"

"I've noticed you've been spacing out, I wonder what you're thinking about?" Lin Shi urged, noticing the remaining food on Lin Qiye's table, "Hurry up and finish what's on the table, didn't you hear we have extreme training this afternoon?"

Lin Qiye silently finished eating the food on the table.

.......

Ancient Gods Cult, Council Hall.

"Yiyu, what's the rush to hold a meeting?" asked the person sitting in the middle of the only three chairs in the meeting room.

"The purpose of this meeting is to re-examine our policies toward Lin Shi and Lin Qiye," Yiyu said, sitting in one of the chairs.

The young man sitting in the last chair fiddled with his lighter, showing no intention of joining in.

The man in the middle waved his hand and continued, "Alright, we've already discussed this before, and most people agree on finding a way to assassinate Lin Shi and Lin Qiye."

What are you babbling about? Are you trying to change the meeting's decision?

“An agent of a god that neither we nor the Great Xia have ever heard of, and an agent of the Seraphim Michael. I think we can try to persuade them again,” Yiyu said, explaining why the meeting was being held.

"Lin Shi and Lin Qiye have already joined the Night Watch. They can no longer be used by us. Those who cannot be used by us must be eliminated."

Yiyu leaned back in her seat, supporting herself with one hand, and looked at one of the believers who had just spoken. "We have never met Lin Shi and Lin Qiye, so how would we know what they are thinking?"

Even if they join the Night's Watch now, we can still win them over. "That's why I've already sent two believers. Whether they agree to join the Church of the Ancient Gods or not, we can still capture them alive." He then looked at Han Shaoyun.

We'll wait here for them to arrive.

......

On the bus.

The continuous mountain ranges on both sides are rapidly receding.

Baili Pangpang was sitting in the car, his face almost pressed against the window glass. He was so excited.

They actually came out!

Lin Qiye was still pondering how to grasp the spiritual essence that Instructor Han had mentioned when he suddenly remembered that Instructor Han had said Lin Shi's swordsmanship had already begun to possess spiritual essence. He decided to ask him for advice to see if he could gain any insights.

I took a picture of Lin Shi, who was resting with his eyes closed.

Lin Shi opened his eyes and looked out the window. Seeing that the car was still moving, he asked irritably, "We haven't reached our destination yet, why are you taking pictures of me?"

Lin Qiye paused for a moment, as if organizing his thoughts, then hesitated for a second before finally asking, "Lin Shi, we were all taught swordsmanship by Captain Chen Muye. You've been practicing swordsmanship for even less time than I have. How can you make your swordsmanship more spirited?"

"Is that all? Then what are you hesitating about? Are you afraid that if I don't tell you, you'll think I'm something else?" Lin Shi was amused by Lin Qiye and said in a slightly annoyed tone, "Actually, it's nothing. Think about it, what is spirit? It means agile and lively."

And rhyme is the charm that follows dynamism, so combining the two means capturing them.

In other words, it means that as long as you use your body without restriction, you can make the weapon move as freely as your body in violent movements.

Just move in that direction.

Lin Qiye nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Seeing that Lin Qiye was still confused, he advised him not to think too much. As long as he was not injured in the battle and could hit others, it didn't matter what moves he used.

As the saying goes, the best strategy is to have no strategy at all.

Having understood this, Lin Qiye looked out the car window and immediately recognized the mountain peak.

“It’s Jinnan Mountain.”

His tone was one of surprise.

Jinnan Mountain is not well-known and has not been developed into a tourist attraction. Few people come here normally.

The mountain is not very high, but it is surrounded by a series of smaller peaks that enclose it in the center, forming a mountain range.

"Everyone is welcome, get out of the car!"

After everyone had assembled, Instructor Hong pointed to the mountain range and said, "See this mountain range? This training will involve each person carrying 35 kilograms of weight. You must cross this mountain range before dawn tomorrow!"

He couldn't help but smirk. "It's not as simple as carrying heavy loads across the mountains. These drones will be going into the mountains with you to attack you."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a dense swarm of drones suddenly flew out of the last bus, each drone equipped with a miniature gun port on its underside.

"The weights you carry have a built-in location tracking function. Once you are hit by a drone and your bodies are stained with color, it means you are eliminated."

As for the punishment for elimination, well, I bet you all don't want to experience it.

Instructor Hong held up three fingers and sneered, "Don't even think about shooting down the drone. There are three rules I need to tell you."

First, you can exchange the loads you carry. You can carry other people's loads or have others carry yours, but you cannot discard your loads without permission. Otherwise, if you are found out, you will be eliminated immediately!

Second, it is forbidden to attack drones, to block drone attacks, or to remain motionless in blind spots of terrain.

Third, you must not attack each other or interfere with others.

Those are the three points, did you understand?!

"I understand!"

"Everyone, take your packs and let's head into the mountains!"

The new recruits went up and carried the weights on their backs, and each of them received a small knife.

Except for Cao Yuan, who received a spoon.

"You can't touch the sword, and we can't find anything else suitable for the time being, so just make do with what you have." The instructor patted Cao Yuan on the shoulder.

Looking at the endless mountain range, Lin Shi felt a pang of sorrow; he knew all too well what punishment meant.

They'll put a "Truth Ring" on your finger, then ask you some extremely embarrassing questions, causing you social death via a public address system.

He doesn't want that.

Even if you're thick-skinned and don't care, you still have too many secrets. It's hard to guarantee that some instructors won't ask you strange questions. Besides, some of the instructors may have already been infiltrated.

If they ask a fatal question, then we're doomed.

As the saying goes, one should always be wary of others. He absolutely cannot be caught during this training, even if it means cheating.

However, this mountain range has been sealed off by forbidden objects. Even if he could get out, it would take a lot of his time, which is not worthwhile.

Following Lin Qiye's guidance is the best option.
