Chapter 1116: Chapter 668: The Pact of the Taboo

“Do you even know what you’re saying?” Qin Sheng asked solemnly, “Even at its peak, the Knight Organization had no more than 12 members.”

Another person said, “We understand and appreciate your intention to make us happy, but remember, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Please do not deceive us.”

It’s no wonder these old guys don’t believe it; what Qing Chen said was simply too unbelievable.

Qing Chen first had Ding Dong lead Yangyang, Zard, and the others to eat the fruit, while he sat in front of Qin Sheng’s grave.

To outsiders, it seemed like just a series of warm breezes passing through the Taboo Land, and Qing Chen appeared to be talking to himself: “I understand why everyone doesn’t believe me, but what I am doing is using the Deer Island family’s Immortality as an aid for cultivation. I then use rewards to entice the Time Travelers to participate in gradual training. I didn’t start by looking for people with extraordinary talent, nor did I reject students with mediocre aptitude. Instead, I just kept polishing their characters until they were resilient enough to climb steep cliffs of green mountains…”

Qing Chen: “Among these people, there are those like Chen Zhuoqu, who are destined to be winners by birth, and those like Hu Jingyi, who, although dull, are as firm as rocks. These people were hidden treasures, and now, I have unearthed them.”

After Qing Chen mentioned what he had done at the Time Traveler’s Academy, the 002 Taboo Land fell silent again.

After a long time, Qin Sheng said, “There’s one thing you’re right about. This might just be your master’s misunderstanding; he always said to look for talented children, but a knight does not necessarily need talent. What we need is willpower as steadfast as a rock.”

For ordinary people, even consuming nine Immortal Heaven Fruits, the steep mountain walls remain an insurmountable chasm.

The first three hundred meters rely on physical strength and skill, the next two hundred and ninety-nine meters on perseverance and spirit, and the final meter on courage and determination.

No matter how you look at it, talent is not what knights value most.

What Qing Chen needs to do now is to select the fifty or sixty most enduring and persevering students from over sixty thousand students…

No, actually, Qing Chen’s ambition is even greater at the moment; he just doesn’t want to talk too big for fear of raising the old guys’ hopes and leading to disappointment later on.

Therefore, Qing Chen toned down what he said.

Based on his secret observations… the results might be very astounding, something even Qing Chen never anticipated.

Gradually, the old guys also realized the significance of what Qing Chen was doing.

It was at least a plan for fifty or sixty knights, laying the groundwork for a new era of the Knight Organization.

Honestly, their imagination was a bit lacking; they couldn’t imagine if there were fifty or sixty A-class Knights, along with the potential emergence of two or three demigod-level knights, which organization would still qualify to oppose the knights.

This kind of strength could sweep through anyone!

And it’s not just about knights; the Agricultural College, with the limitless Zhi Lanxing, seemingly could produce another one or two hundred A- and B-class courier knights without much trouble.

The treasures that the Chen Clan used to hide away are now being produced on Whale Island without limit.

This is simply cheating!

No sense at all!

It’s just that this growth requires process and time. Even with immense financial resources, it would still take a long time for a knight to complete the eight trials of life and death, as proper training techniques are necessary. Otherwise, if you find yourself in a wing suit flight high in the sky and unable to handle an emergency, you could end up dead on the spot.

Skiing is even more so.

At this time, Qin Sheng said to Gudong, “Next, it will be hard work for you, Gudong, to help Qing Chen find various rare plants in the six Taboo Lands you control. As long as they’re beneficial to humans, find a way to transplant them to the Whale Island in the Outer World.”

This was Qin Sheng expressing his support.

Another old guy said, “I remember there is a kind of fruit in the 002 Taboo Land, eating a few of which can comprehensively enhance neural response. What’s it called?”

“Hell if I remember, lying underground, I don’t need to eat that stuff. Ask Ding Dong and Gudong about it.”

Gudong said on the side, “It’s the fruit of ‘Early Summer,’ you need to eat 9 of them.”

Another old man said, “Do we have any other fruits here?”

Gudong added, “There is also a plant called ‘Asking the Cold,’ with leaves that can be soaked nine times in water to resist the cold.”

“Quick, quick, bring them all to Qing Chen!”

The 002 Taboo Land, along with the knights’ predecessors, is going all-out to support Qing Chen.

This is the hope of the Knight Organization.

However, one of the old guys poured cold water on Qing Chen: “But, you’re using rewards to entice them; doesn’t that go against the knights’ original intentions?”

Then, another voice said, “What the hell do you know about original intentions? Back then, didn’t I lure you out with a car? And now you’re talking originals with me? You were so lazy back then that I had to promise you a new car for every trial you passed, just to get you to challenge the trials of life and death. You talk about intentions now, don’t you feel guilty? Wasn’t it only after you challenged the trial four times that you turned over a new leaf?”

The former elder muttered quietly, “Master, please give me some face.”
