Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1245 - 1213: Rival

"You're right, without real battle, one can never truly become a Sky Knight."

Uncle Chen Haiqing nodded; he too has a background as a combat pilot, so he naturally understands the logic behind it.

Nowadays, there aren't many wars where Sky Knights can demonstrate their skills, but advanced flight simulators can somewhat make up for this deficiency.

However, no matter how high the simulation degree of flight simulators, they can never compare to real combat.

The truth is, nowadays no one would dare to provoke the First Sovereign recklessly, leading to a situation where knives are sharpened every day but no thief shows up.

One of the four Sky Knights, Lu Xia, greeted Chen Shan, who was surrounded by his elder sisters, and said, "Chen Shan, you passed the morning assessment!"

The elder sisters cheered again.

"Passed!"

Chen Haiqing also mysteriously said in unison, then released a long sigh of relief. The regret of his lifetime was finally fulfilled through his son's success.

Chen Shan laughed like a fool.

Chen Fei kept nodding with a smile; the Chen Family finally produced a true Sky Knight, which is a fortunate event.

"The trial isn't over yet! Don't get excited too early, take a rest now and prepare for the afternoon confrontation."

Chen Haiqing didn't let his son indulge in pride too long, quickly dousing him with cold water.

If they fail to pass the afternoon session as well, the morning effort would still be in vain.

He turned to Chen Fei and said, "Chen Fei, can that SPA Fruit be used for Chen Shan again?" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Over two hours of intense tactical flying, even with the body-strengthening Battle Qi, it's still extremely exhausting to one's Vitality and Spirit.

"Of course, it's no problem!"

Chen Fei waved his hand, and a giant fruit appeared beside him, fresh and perfectly ripe.

The fruit, usually nestled in the crown of the "Life Tree", can be instantly ripened according to his will, not wasting too much time.

Though offering it to Chen Shan again after just a day seems a bit excessive, not even one-millionth of its effect might be utilized. Yet there's currently nothing more efficiently restoring Vitality and Spirit than the SPA Fruit. Even magic potions require time to gradually release their power, and those capable of fully restoring state quickly come with undesirable side effects or even sequels, which are unacceptable risks for the soon-to-be Sky Knight, Chen Shan.

"Hmm? Chen Fei, are you finally willing to be generous?"

Chen Shan rubbed his chin suspiciously, wondering if Chen Er would suddenly become so generous due to some unknown prank.

Being bullied all the time, it's inevitable to develop some paranoia.

"You talk too much nonsense."

As soon as Chen Fei's words fell, the huge fruit split open a large seam by itself, dozens of finger-thick tender white tendrils shot out of the dark crack, dragging the unsuspecting Chen Shan back forcefully.

The crack large enough to accommodate a person quickly closed, swallowing Chen Shan's belated screams whole.

Sky Knight Lu Xia: "..." (What is this thing? It's terrifying!)

Sky Knight Wu Chen: "..." (Where did it come from? This thing eats people!)

Sky Knight Ding Xiu: "Well, doing SPA again!"

"It's very effective!"

Having enjoyed the SPA Fruit's treatment, Sun Ruzheng felt like he was ten years younger.

Those who missed the benefits, Sky Knights Lu Xia and Wu Chen exchanged glances, looked at the other two knights, and asked in unison: "Do you know what that thing is?"

"A magical fruit, not for eating, but it makes people younger, with immediate effect."

Sun Zhengru explained from experience.

"It's like having a full range SPA which directly rejuvenates the cell DNA, I recommend you try it."

Ding Xiu strongly recommended, then gestured to Chen Fei, saying, "'Rookie', can these two also experience the wonders of the SPA Fruit?"

Meeting by chance is fate, and since they happened to come across it, everyone deserves a share.

Although the Sky Knights possess much stronger physical qualities than ordinary people, years of training and even combat leave numerous unrepairable damages and unavoidable aging within the body.

SPA Fruit, though incapable of supplementing lost lifespan, can restore life quality to its peak state, which is more valuable in a certain sense than extending life.

"Uh, can we?"

Lu Xia hesitated to glance at the motionless "big fruit", feeling tempted.

The Chen's Family Member surely wouldn't harm their own, so there should be no bad effects from the SPA Fruit.

"No problem! But you have to wait until the trial ends."

Although Chen Fei promised, he didn't immediately pull out two SPA Fruits, but released a flatbed trailer from the "Spatial Branding," assisting others to load the SPA Fruit that "swallowed" Chen Shan onto the cart, to be transported to the hangar by a follow-up vehicle. The shaking en route wouldn't affect the SPA Fruit's effect.

If he'd known earlier that today's trial included confrontation projects, Chen Fei wouldn't have let Ding Xiu and Sun Ruzheng, the two Sky Knights, enjoy the SPA Fruit benefits in advance yesterday.

Confronting Sky Knights in peak state would be tough for little brother Chen Shan.

However, Chen Fei wouldn't say anything about holding back, like his uncle, he hoped Little Shanzi could rely on his true abilities to pass this trial, ensuring the Sky Knight qualification's gold standard.

Any deceitful behavior, once on the battlefield, will immediately be exposed, failing the test long-term is akin to seeking one's own death.
