Chapter 845: 561

Fatty Two: "Let’s wait and see."

Jing Youlan and his group were the best among these people, and they had tacit understanding and capability previously, trusting each other, qualities that others simply couldn’t match.

Frankly speaking, the tacit understanding between them could even compare with theirs; or to put it another way, it wasn’t any worse than theirs.

"Let’s wait and see," Thousand-mile Eye said with a smile brimming with anticipation.

Clicking his tongue... he had thought there was no chance left, but now it seemed there was still half a chance after all.

Not bad, not bad!

Time left, an hour and thirty minutes.

People inside the jungle were also gradually coming out, just like Jing Youlan and his team, they too, upon hearing they had passed, despite having no energy left, somehow managed to jump up and then collapse.

Although these two days weren’t long, it truly felt like being tormented to death, nearly draining two-thirds of their lives.

The final hour and a half ended, and in the end, exactly sixty-one people passed, more than half; the rest, by that point, were mainly still in the forest, struggling—probably unable to make it out.

Afterward, Ying Sun and his men personally set out to bring those people out, as they simply couldn’t leave them behind in there.

Although nearly half of them didn’t pass the first round of assessment, from start to finish, no one gave up hope, and this was something Ying Sun and his men respected.

They were all qualified soldiers.

Looking at the people in front of him, now full of vigor, Black Shark nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, I originally thought half of you wouldn’t make it. It seems I underestimated you, you did well."

Hearing Black Shark’s words, smiles appeared on their faces, not arrogance.

It was just a simple, pure smile, one that seemed immensely satisfied; at this moment, they had probably forgotten how, when in the forest seeing those notes, they had cursed Ying Sun and his men half to death.

Looking at them, Black Shark’s lips slightly curved up, but it quickly faded. Looking at everyone, he began to speak discouraging words again, "Although you’ve indeed passed the first hurdle, don’t get too happy too soon. What awaits you won’t be easy, only more troublesome. I hope you... are prepared."

"Don’t disappoint us."

"We are waiting for you to pass all the stages and become one of us at Ying Sun, to become our comrades!" They were really looking forward to it.

Newcomers.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" The voices were loud and spirited.

At that moment, everyone no longer found Black Shark and the people of Ying Sun that repulsive.

Black Shark nodded in satisfaction, while those who didn’t pass hung their heads in dejection.

Black Shark looked towards them, "Those who didn’t pass need not be dejected, there will be other opportunities; we are waiting for your next challenge." They were all very good.

"After you go back, train well."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" The same words, but with an addition of bitterness and defiance.

Next time, they would definitely succeed.

After returning, they would only be more diligent.

"Alright, that’s enough for today. It’s getting late, you can go and rest now; we have already prepared sleeping bags and tents for you."

"Dismissed!" After these words were spoken, everyone’s nerves finally relaxed in that moment, and they once again felt what it meant to be tired, what it meant to be exhausted.

Right now, they truly had no energy left.

At that moment, no one noticed that Black Shark had not mentioned what time to wake up the next day; tsk, tsk, tsk... One couldn’t help wondering what the situation would be like early in the morning.

In any case, it probably wouldn’t be anything good.

Right now, they were too tired to care, maybe tomorrow would be an even more miserable day.

Sigh!

...

The Jing family.

In recent days, Jing Chen had a lot of free time on his hands, with his busiest activity essentially being at home, accompanying his wife, accompanying his wife, accompanying his wife.

When asked what the most important thing for him was at the moment, it would probably be that.

His wife.

As for why he was so free recently?

Of course... it was because of Ying Sun’s assessment, such a small matter didn’t require his personal attention, so, Lord Jing was indeed very idle.

Mu Lin’s belly was now more than eight and a half months along, and in a little over a month, she would be due. With each day that passed, Jing Chen grew more nervous.

Every time he looked at Mu Lin’s belly, he felt as if it were about to explode anytime, and he didn’t dare to place his hand too heavily upon it, deeply afraid of hurting both Mu Lin and the baby.

Seeing the suffering look on Mu Lin, it truly made his heart ache terribly.

He had told himself countless times, no more, he didn’t want children again; he couldn’t bear to see his wife suffer like this anymore.

Early that morning, Mu Lin woke up from Jing Chen’s embrace; it was still very early, yet she noticed that the warmth beside her was gone.

Her eyebrows slightly lifted.

Could it be he has gone on a mission again? It shouldn’t be, as Jing Chen had said that he wouldn’t have any tasks until after the assessments were over. Then...

Sometimes Mu Lin wondered how Youlan and the others were doing now.

The first assessment had ended, they should have passed, right?

With their abilities, they shouldn’t have any problems; she thought, maybe she should ask Jing Chen to take her to see them as a form of encouragement, as there was little else she could do now.

Struggling to sit up, Mu Lin prepared to get out of bed.

Just then, Jing Chen, who had just returned from outside, saw her and rushed over in a panic, devoid of any trace of the former Lord Jing’s demeanor.
