Four ropes were thrown down from the cliff, unfurling mid-air into a parabolic shape before crashing into the darkness below.
On each rope stood a trainee holding a flashlight, aiming it towards the cliff to illuminate the situation below.
Despite the decent lighting aided by the night sky without obstructions, they all knew the dangers of night climbing and realized the necessity of lighting with flashlights.
Mo Shangjun, Ding Jing, Shang Yuanting, and Ai Youhuai each stood atop a rope, preparing for the upcoming competition.
Chai Xinyan stood to the side, explaining the rules, "One round trip. Whoever reaches the bottom and climbs back up first wins for their team."
No one had any objections.
"Begin!"
Chai Xinyan shouted.
At once, all four, including Mo Shangjun, grabbed their ropes and began to climb down.
Climbing down is much more difficult than climbing up, so they had to be extremely cautious, watching their every step, for any mishap could not be taken lightly.
