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

"Lin Shi, you... you..." Lin Qiye's hand and mouth movements were inconsistent; he pointed at Lin Shi while pointing at the place where the corpse had disappeared.

Lin Shi shrugged, unconcerned about revealing his ability to control shadows to devour corpses, because the person who saw it was Lin Qiye.

"I remember saying back in school that Zafkiel's task for me was to kill some gods. What it wanted were the corpses of the gods or the gods themselves, but I certainly can't do that now. I can only devour some mystical things for it from time to time."

"In other words, can the cost of using your abilities be partially offset by absorbing mystical energy?" Lin Qiye came to this conclusion by combining the situations of Wang Mian and Lin Shi, but he didn't know if his guess was correct.

Lin Shi was once again awestruck by Lin Qiye's wisdom. As expected of the protagonist, his thinking was clear and his mind worked incredibly fast. Lin Shi nodded, confirming his guess.

"Let's go, this is all taken care of. We should head back to the boys' dorms. They should be waking up soon."

Lin Qiye nodded, and then the two left the warehouse and went to the boys' dormitory to check the situation.

......

In the basement, Yuan Gang, who was contemplating whether to arrange another assessment for Lin Shi, also sensed that the invisible spider silk that should have filled the sky above the training camp had vanished without a trace. This could only mean that the large, grayish-white spider had been killed.

Based on the previous surveillance footage, only Lin Shi and Lin Qiye were nearby when the spider was located, meaning that it was the two of them who killed the "Chuan" Realm Giant Spider.

Yuan Gang sighed, as if he had made up his mind, and called two instructors to him. He handed the headset to one of the instructors and said, "Go and give this headset to Lin Shi. You can give it to him directly in front of them."

He then said to another instructor, "Tell them that we don't need to set up the fourth mystery. Just move it to the warehouse in the back mountain, and then set it up like this... Do you all understand?"

The two instructors nodded.

"Go."

"Yes."

The two men saluted and turned to leave.

......

"Who's over there? Come out." Lin Shi and Lin Qiye were on their way back to the dormitory when a figure suddenly appeared in front of them. The figure got closer and closer, and Lin Shi and Lin Qiye could clearly see that the figure was wearing an instructor's uniform.

"I'm not part of the assessment; I'm just here to deliver something, so there's no need to be so wary of me." The instructor understood why he was being treated with such suspicion, since they were still in the midst of an assessment.

Seeing this, the two relaxed. The instructors probably wouldn't use such despicable methods for the assessment, attacking them after clearly stating they were just there to deliver something, and then claiming it was part of the assessment and accusing them of not being vigilant enough.

The instructor walked up to Lin Shi, took out the headset that Yuan Gang had given him, and handed it to Lin Shi. "This is something that Chief Instructor Yuan Gang asked me to bring to you. Once you put it on, you'll understand why I gave you this headset."

The moment after delivering the items, the instructor leaped high into the air, did a stylish 360-degree spin in mid-air, and then quickly left the scene, disappearing from Lin Shi and Lin Qiye's sight.

"Why did the instructor give you a separate headset during the assessment?" Lin Qiye asked, looking at the headset in Lin Shi's hand with great confusion.

If Lin Shi was to be given other assessment items, he should have been called over before the assessment began. If the headset was given to him because they killed the Spider Boy, then he should have one too, and it's impossible that only Lin Shi was given one.

Lin Shi shook his head. "I don't know either. You'll find out soon enough."

He put on the headset. After a hissing sound, the head instructor Yuan Gang's voice came through the headset: "Lin Shi, because you can know the future, I have decided that you will not participate in the next assessment. Now go to the storage warehouse on the left side of the back mountain of the training camp. There is an assessment that I have designed specifically for you there."

Also... from now on you cannot use your ability to foresee the future, otherwise you will fail the assessment!

Because Yuan Gang didn't want others to know that Lin Shi had the ability to foresee the future, he spoke very softly through the earpiece.

Even with a headset, Lin Shi had to listen attentively, otherwise he couldn't hear clearly.

Lin Qiye knew perfectly well that the instructor's arrangement clearly indicated that he didn't want a third person to know the content of the call.

Out of respect for Lin Shi's privacy, he did not use the Mortal Realm to eavesdrop, and naturally did not know the contents of the earpiece.

Lin Shi now understood why he had been given a separate assessment.

It turns out that Yuan Gang thought he had been using his ability to foresee the future and already knew everything about the upcoming assessment. In that case, the assessment would not achieve the purpose of observing Lin Shi's behavior and thus scoring him effectively.

But... he didn't use his ability to foresee the future at all! It seems... being familiar with the plot is also a form of foreseeing the future, because what is going to happen is probably pretty much what will happen.

Lin Shi turned to look at Lin Qiye and said to him, "Qiye, it seems I can't go with you. The instructor has given me an extra assessment, and I have to go there now."

"?" A big question mark appeared above Lin Qiye's head. Before, you said I was special, but now you're the only one in the entire training camp who has to undergo a separate assessment. You know who's more special now!

"Go, the most special person." Lin Qiye ran straight towards the dormitory building. He'd already wasted a lot of time, so he didn't bother asking Lin Shi anymore. He believed Lin Shi would tell him the reason after the assessment.

"What unexpected changes will the instructors assign me? A headless man? A Rubik's Cube? Or maybe they've brought in a new mystery..." Lin Shi muttered to himself, his figure flashing as he rushed towards the designated warehouse on the back mountain of the training camp.

......

In the basement.

"The assessment for Lin Shi has been arranged. Are you sure you want him to fight a mysterious 'Chuan' realm monster by himself?" Instructor Hong asked Yuan Gang as he walked over.

"Hmm, he managed to survive being chased by Han Shaoyun, who is at the 'Sea' Realm, without suffering any harm. In my opinion, with this strength, he should be able to deal with a mysterious figure at the 'River' Realm. Even if he is no match for him, he should be able to survive."

Instructor Hong looked troubled, still somewhat worried. "But that Mystic is extremely bloodthirsty and highly aggressive. Weren't we supposed to release it as the recruits' team boss after the freshmen dealt with the three Mystics?"

Why was Lin Shi suddenly assigned to this role alone?

Yuan Gang looked at Instructor Hong, considered it for a moment, and decided not to tell anyone.

It wasn't that she didn't trust Instructor Hong, but she had promised Lin Shi not to tell anyone, at least not to let him say it.

"Old Hong, I have my reasons for making these arrangements. I will go there myself later, and nothing unexpected will happen, so you don't need to worry."

"Alright!" Seeing that Yuan Gang had already said this much, Instructor Hong didn't say anything more.

"I'll leave this to you. Keep an eye on this assessment for me. I'll head over to Lin Shi now." Yuan Gang patted Instructor Hong on the shoulder, picked up his weapon, and walked out of the basement.

As Instructor Hong watched Yuan Gang's departing figure, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes. He then said to an instructor beside him, "Pull out Lin Shi's file; I'll take a closer look."
