Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 387 This is a trial

"Numb."

Fengma cursed under his breath, but gritted his teeth and turned to run in another direction. Half an hour later, he caught up with Lin Yu, who was about to leave the spaceport, panting heavily.

"for you!"

Fengma shoved the data tablet into Lin Yu's hands.

"This is a list of all the gangs and illegal businessmen I could find. It includes their strength and the location of their hideouts. I even paid someone to mark the ones that are more dangerous!"

Lin Yu took the data panel and nodded: "Thanks, I'll visit them one by one after I finish climbing the mountain."

Fengma almost couldn't catch his breath.

"What? You...you're going to climb the Warrior's Peak?"

He stared at Lin Yu in shock, feeling like his brain couldn't process what he was seeing.

"Weren't you going to find out the location of the Rainbow Dragon Lugset? Why are you going to climb the Warrior's Peak?" Fengma asked, puzzled.

"What's so weird about this?"

Lin Yu said matter-of-factly, "Climbing up to take a look, and then going to find the Rainbow Dragon, isn't that a good idea?"

Fuma recalled his failed father, the "son of a loser" label he had carried since childhood, and the countless challengers who came full of hope but ultimately left in despair.

That mountain was his lifelong nightmare.

But in this man's words, it was as easy as taking a walk after dinner.

An unnamed anger, mixed with long-standing grievances and resentment, surged into his heart in an instant.

"No conflict? You make it sound so easy!"

Fengma's voice trembled slightly, "Do you know what that mountain means? Do you know how many people have gambled everything on it, only to lose everything in the end!"

“If climbing up were that easy, my life… my father’s life wouldn’t be like this now!”

Lin Yu looked at the emotionally charged Feng Ma, remained silent for a moment, and then reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

That's why we need to go and take a look.

The young man was stunned, staring blankly at the guy in front of him who looked only a few years older than him. This guy seemed so ordinary, so why?
Why is the radiance and confidence he exudes so dazzling?
……

At the foot of the mountain at the summit of warriors.

The icy wind, carrying snowflakes, scraped against my face like knives.

Visibility was extremely low; all that could be seen were gray-white rocks and snow.

Despite the harsh conditions, several simple shops and a rather large-scale bar still had their lights on, like lonely lighthouses in the wind and snow.

Those who can get here, besides the guides who make a living by leading the way, are only those challengers who risk their lives to climb to the summit.

Fengma followed Lin Yu in a daze and arrived here.

He himself didn't know how he got here.

What that man said sounded like a fantasy.

What, climb Warrior's Peak before going to find Rainbow Dragon?

What a joke!
If things are really that simple, then what do the hardships and ridicule he has endured since childhood amount to?
But for some reason, his feet just followed uncontrollably.

He wanted to see it with his own eyes.

Let's see if this man will become another loser, just like his father, crushed by the mountains.

Or perhaps, he really can create miracles.

The two walked into the bar located at the foot of the mountain, one after the other.

With a loud "boom," a wave of intense heat, mixed with the smell of alcohol and hormones, hit us.

The bar's interior was much larger than it appeared from the outside. The deafening metal music almost lifted the ceiling, and the multicolored lights flashed wildly, illuminating every corner in a bizarre and dazzling way.

In the center of the dance floor, countless bizarre aliens were wildly twisting their bodies to the rhythm.

Beside the gambling table, gamblers, their eyes bloodshot from losing, roared angrily and screamed with excitement.

At the bar, most people just silently chug their drinks, staring blankly at the glasses in front of them, as if those glasses held everything they had lost.

Fengma skillfully dodged a drunken Baltan alien and shouted at Lin Yu, "This is the last place we can rest before climbing to the top of Warrior's Peak!"

"It's also the place where those who dare not give up stubbornly linger!"

Lin Yu nodded, his gaze sweeping across the entire room.

The people here all carry an indelible scent—a mixture of dreams, despair, greed, and resentment.

Just then, all the lights in the room suddenly went out, leaving only a spotlight shining on the small stage in the center of the bar.

A tall, scantily clad Pitt alien began to sway her waist—which Lin Yu found somewhat too slender—to the accompaniment of suggestive music.

The atmosphere in the audience was instantly ignited.

"Ooooooh!"

"Lillian! Lillian!"

Lin Yu saw a Kemurian excitedly fling the plate off his head, while several Dada aliens stared wide-eyed, uttering cheers that were hard to decipher.

He couldn't stand it any longer.

"No, brothers."

Lin Yu nudged the wind horse next to him with a look of disbelief. "I've always heard that in the eyes of aliens, everyone on Planet Pitt is beautiful, but no matter how I look at it... I can't see what's so beautiful about it?"

Isn't this difference in aesthetic taste a bit too great?

Upon hearing this, Feng Ma looked at Lin Yu with the eyes of someone looking at a country bumpkin and said matter-of-factly, "What do you know! Lillian is the sexiest and hottest woman in this bar, no, in the entire O-50. Countless people have gone bankrupt just to catch a glimpse of her here."

Looking at Fengma's proud expression, and then at the Pitt alien on the stage who seemed no different from a flat-faced person in his eyes, Lin Yu's gaze towards Fengma instantly changed.

It was a look that was a mixture of shock, pity, and disbelief.

Fengma felt uncomfortable under his gaze and asked in a low voice, "Why...why are you looking at me like that?" "Nothing."

Lin Yu withdrew his gaze, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly, "I just feel that your life must have been very difficult."

Fengma was even more confused.

He was eager to know how Lin Yu would challenge that mountain.

"that……"

Fengma lowered his voice and cautiously recommended, "They sell professional mountaineering equipment here, from grappling hooks to cold-weather clothing. I know the owner, and I can give you a discount."

Lin Yu glanced at him sideways and complained, "It's not one of those 'friendship discounts' where the price doubles after the initial discount, is it?"

Feng Ma's expression instantly darkened. He lowered his head, his voice barely audible: "Actually... my father used to be a regular here, so..."

Lin Yu suddenly realized.

No wonder this kid has managed to survive in a place like the Spaceport for so long by cheating and swindling without getting beaten to death.

So there's still a way out, so you don't end up dead in the street after deceiving people.

Seeing Fengma's deeply ingrained inferiority complex, Lin Yu sighed and patted him on the shoulder again.

"The title of 'son of a loser' was forced upon you by others."

"If you truly accept it, then it means you've already lost."

Fengma suddenly raised his head and stared blankly at Lin Yu.

Lost?

Yes, he had already given up as long as he could remember.

He accepted the mark, the ridicule and ostracism from everyone, and thought this was his fate.

But it's not that easy.
The two found a corner to sit down and chatted briefly about the topic of the Warrior's Peak.

When Lin Yu reiterated that he did not need any equipment, Fengma was speechless.

What else could he say?

This man was different from him and everyone else here from the very beginning.

Lin Yu stood up and walked out of the bar.

Fengma instinctively followed behind him.

He thought to himself that if the man really fell off the mountain, he had to find a way to catch him or do something else.

As for why...

His heart was filled with bitterness.

Perhaps it's because this man named Lin Yu is the first man, besides his failed father, who is willing to take the initiative to approach him and comfort him.

From the day he was born, no one was willing to look at him directly.

Therefore, a guy like Lin Yu shouldn't have died in a godforsaken place like the Warrior's Summit.

Lin Yu himself was also very curious about what the legendary Great Ring would do once he actually reached the pinnacle of warriors.

He soon arrived at the true foot of the mountain, where the road ahead became steep and covered with thick ice and snow, with only a rugged path worn out by countless challengers barely visible.

Fengma followed behind him and finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him.

"You neither crave power nor seek conquest; you simply want to see the view from the mountaintop."

"Then why did you come to challenge the Warrior's Pinnacle?"

As Lin Yu walked, he casually replied, "I want to see if he can give me some equipment like Noah did."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly looked up and gazed at the deep sky.

Just now, the instant he uttered the name "Noah," a faint gaze seemed to descend from infinite heights and fall upon him.

Lin Yu's lips twitched violently.

What does "I think, therefore I am" mean?
Old Deng, I just mentioned you once, and you actually looked over, right? Are you really that effective?!
Feng Ma naturally didn't sense anything; he just looked at Lin Yu, completely bewildered.

Finally, he stopped and said solemnly, "I hope you succeed. Let me see your brilliance, Lin Yu!"

Lin Yu nodded, said no more, and stepped onto the road leading to the peak.

The climb has begun.

The initial section of the road consisted of only some steep slopes.

But soon the path became vertical, almost at a ninety-degree angle to the ground, and one could only climb upwards by relying on the tiny protrusions and crevices on the rock face, using both hands and feet.

On his climb, Lin Yu encountered all sorts of people.

Some people climbed halfway up, but their strength gave up, and they returned in a sorry state.

Some people, even when they've reached their limit, refuse to leave, much less slink away in disgrace.

They hung there on the cliff face, letting the wind and snow cover them, their bodies gradually stiffening, until they almost merged with the entire mountain, becoming a sculpture of despair.

Lin Yu sighed softly.

These people don't need pity.

Because this is a trial, a trial that belongs only to the challenger. Only by overcoming one's past self can one grow.

Similarly, this trial does not mean that escape is not an option.

They just don't want to face their own failures.

After all, the Warrior's Peak has always been here, and you can come back anytime. Only by climbing with the resolve to die can you have a chance to touch that light.

If it actively recruits people for trials, then it should be renamed the Main God Space.

Feeling the indomitable will emanating from each challenger who was still persevering, Lin Yu's opinion of this legendary black-hearted factory changed slightly.
