Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chu Deng's pockets were stuffed full of cards, and he felt that stuffing any more would hinder his movement, so he stopped and reached the top without much effort.

Very few people have already reached the summit, and they've probably collected quite a few cards. No one is trying to sabotage those who are trying to reach the summit later.

Chu Deng successfully stood on the platform at the top, looked around, and was surprised to find that there were people she knew there.

Pei Hanxing, Shi Kan, and Li Menglu.

Pei Hanxing had her back to Chu Deng, staring blankly at the distant mountains and beach, as if trying to discern something.

Shi Kan was fiddling with the cards in his hand, his breathing gradually calming down, indicating that he had only recently climbed up and was still resting.

Li Menglu was staring at Pei Hanxing.

Chu Deng looked in the direction she was looking and confirmed that Li Menglu was indeed staring at Pei Hanxing. For some reason, her eyes were a little red, and her fingernails kept scratching at the stones on the platform, making a soft, rustling sound that made Chu Deng's ears itch.

Besides the three from Haishi No. 1 High School, there were two other students from other schools that Chu Deng didn't recognize.

Chu Deng rubbed her ears, sat on the ground, and began to sort through the cards on her body, sticking the ones that added points on herself and putting the ones that deducted points aside under her legs.

The sound of "beep beep" echoed across the platform, attracting the attention of others.

"Chu Deng, you're here too?" Shi Kan was the first to greet her, which puzzled Chu Deng. She wasn't familiar with Shi Kan, but he seemed quite familiar with her.

"Hmm." Chu Deng nodded perfunctorily and continued pasting the cards.

Shi Kan didn't disturb her, but continued to sit on the ground to calm down.

Pei Hanxing stood up, silently moved to a spot near Chu Deng, and sat down without saying anything.

Chu Deng glanced at him, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Have you seen Xiaoyue?"

Pei Hanxing stiffened almost imperceptibly, then shook her head after a moment. "No."

The two fell silent again, with only the whistling wind and the "beep" sound of Chu Deng sticking the card on.

Chu Deng didn't pay attention, but silently calculated her score. She stopped when she reached 49 points, stopped adding bonus cards, and put the cards away in the pocket at her waist. She didn't want to run around with the news of being wanted by the police.

Just as Chu Deng was collecting the card, Pei Hanxing suddenly stood up. Chu Deng's eyes turned cold, and she turned to look at the two candidates from other schools behind her.

They stood behind Chu Deng, one in front of the other, with unfriendly attitudes, presumably coveting the card in Chu Deng's hand. However, seeing Pei Hanxing standing behind Chu Deng, appearing supportive, they hesitated.

The two glanced at the man and woman on the platform again. Shi Kan remained seated, seemingly unwilling to get involved, while Li Menglu also remained still, simply watching them with an air of detached amusement.

The two students from another school thought that they, as two men, couldn't beat a man and a woman, so they charged at Chu Deng with righteous indignation.

Chu Deng dodged to the side and kicked the oncoming man in the buttocks. The force was so great that the man couldn't stop even at the edge of the platform and fell off with a cry of "Ah!"

Chu Deng then turned her gaze to another person, "What's up?"

"No, no!" The man shook his head frantically, swallowing hard at Chu Deng's gaze. Seeing Chu Deng walking towards him, he voluntarily walked to the edge of the platform, "I can do it myself!"

He got into position and jumped down without waiting.

"Watch out!" Shi Kan suddenly exclaimed.

Chu Deng dodged Li Menglu's charge, but once she stood still, she realized that Li Menglu's target was not her, but Pei Hanxing.

Pei Hanxing didn't know what was going on, and failed to avoid Li Menglu. Li Menglu hugged her tightly and pushed her off the platform, and the two of them fell down together.

"not good!"

Shi Kan suddenly stood up, went to the spot where the two had fallen, his expression solemn, and jumped down after them.

Chu Deng: ...

Not long after they came up, the peak was inexplicably cleared. Even Chu Deng was stunned for a few seconds. Not quite understanding the development, she came back to her senses and looked down from the edge.

After Pei Hanxing was knocked away by Li Menglu, he fell while lying on top of her, so she used him as a cushion. Pei Hanxing was already in excruciating pain when he landed, and the pressure from Li Menglu made him feel dizzy and his vision went black. He was hit hard on the chest by Li Menglu's arm and couldn't help but cough. He was briefly disoriented for a few seconds, and the ringing in his ears overwhelmed his senses. When he came to, he tasted blood in his mouth and wondered if he had bitten his tongue when he fell. It also felt a little numb.

"I'm so sorry." Li Menglu rolled off him, looking at Pei Hanxing with guilt, and said pitifully, "I was trying to speed up and rush down by myself, but I didn't expect to bump into you..."

Nobody would believe that. The entire summit platform is such a big place, how did you happen to run into Pei Hanxing?

Shi Kan, who had landed beside the two, stamped his foot, refusing to believe Li Menglu's nonsense. He reached out his hand to Pei Hanxing, who was slumped on the ground, and looked at the barely alive Pei Hanxing with pity: "Are you alright?"

He was starting to doubt his own guess.

Has Li Menglu really fallen for Pei Hanxing? This doesn't seem like she likes him; it's more like she wants to kill him!

Pei Hanxing suppressed the metallic taste of blood in her throat, coughed twice, and grabbed Shi Kan's hand for support as she stood up. "I'm... I'm alright."

Standing at the top, Chu Deng couldn't hear what the three people were arguing about because of the strong wind and the distance. After seeing Pei Hanxing stand up and confirm that everyone was alright, he looked away and used the open view from the top to observe the entire examination room.

Chu Deng discovered that there was a pool of water at the easternmost edge of Yuanshan Beach, and next to the pool was a group of small black dots, which were the examinees gathered at the Jin Yin Tan (Golden and Silver Pools) on Yuanshan Beach.

Looking south, you can see the central forest. Because of the trees, you can't see what's inside. Beyond the central forest is Yingya Lake. Looking into the distance, Chu Deng squinted and looked in that direction, but it seemed like he saw a rainbow in the sky above Yingya Lake?

At Yingya Lake, where there were hardly any people when she first arrived, a group of small black dots have now appeared on the lakeside, which should also be a group of test takers.

She has almost reached her target score. She has collected a lot of scorecards from the Sky Pillar in the Wind Whispering Stone Forest, so Chu Deng's score is no longer a problem. However, she is very interested in the examination venue and has decided to go to the distant mountain beach and pool area to use up some of her deduction cards.

After all, this is just a weekly test, which means there will be two more weekly tests before the second round of training exams. The entire base is only so big, and the tests will most likely be conducted in these four areas. Familiarizing yourself with these areas will not only be beneficial for your daily tasks but also for the weekly tests later on.
