Chapter 80: A Similar Mark, Gold Armored Envoy?
“What’s wrong? Ah Zheng!”
The friend beside him seemed to have noticed that something wrong with him.
That person was called Ah Zheng. The mark on his head had turned dark red at this moment, and its surroundings were emitting a weak light, as if it was about to burn up.
Fortunately, he pressed his hand on the mark on his forehead to recover. His eyes were fixed on Lin Tian, as if he wanted to carve Lin Tian’s face into his mind.
“It’s getting late. Let’s go!”
Ah Zheng said in a low and hoarse voice. After taking a deep look at Lin Tian, he turned around and left. His fingers were obviously bleeding, and the mark on his forehead had calmed down.
.
However, if someone was watching him, they would notice that his muscular arm was shone with a black light, as if it wanted to pierce through his white shirt.
He didn’t even stay in the team for more than a minute.
“Huh?”
Lin Tian felt that the mark on his forehead was a little hot, and the aura of fate was pulling him. He unconsciously looked towards the direction where the young man had left, but he couldn’t see anyone.
“Could it be that I’m wrong?”
Lin Tian said in a low voice. He touched his forehead and felt a burning sensation. Then, a few drops of blood came out from his fingers. A feeling of fate surged in his heart, and that feeling directly pulled Lin Tian’s consciousness out.
Then, an illusory mountain appeared in front of him. That mountain was hidden in the clouds. The surroundings of the mountain were like a dream, like a fairyland. Lin Tian felt that his entire body was floating, as if he was about to fly up.
“Awoo!”
With a wolf howl, Lin Tian’s consciousness was suddenly pulled back. He felt the magical beast tattoo on his arm shine with a white light. Then, it was like the Stellar Wolf calling out to Lin Tian. Only then did his consciousness return.
“Xiao Hui, was that you just now?”
Lin Tian asked Stellar Wolf. It responded with a low howl. At the same time, it told Lin Tian that it also felt a sense of fate, as if it was his lifelong enemy.
That feeling was like it was necessary to determine a winner and loser when they met, and it would not rest until one of them was dead.
“Strange!”
Lin Tian shook his head, unable to find the specific source of that feeling.
“That kid is interesting. Chen Kun, go and find out his background.”
“But, boss, it’s the college entrance exam now, we…”
“What are you afraid of? It’s not like we’re asking you to devour him right now, won’t we wait until it’s over?”
Lin Tian wasn’t the only one who had noticed him earlier. There were also a few other examinees from the other bases who were looking at him. Some of them were from small base, and there were a few people who were looking at the surrounding examinees with sinister expressions.
They didn’t get close to any of the examinees. They were a small group, and from time to time, a black light would shine on their arms. The leading examinee, who had dyed blond hair, looked at Lin Tian with greed in his eyes. He licked his lips and instructed his underlings.
At this moment, the chaos in the public area had been stopped. The soldiers of the military region had intervened in this matter.
This farce had temporarily come to an end. However, when the examinees from the Imperial City and Hex City were side by side, one could see the provocation in their eyes. After all, these two bases had been fighting for the first place for a very long time.
Whether it was in terms of population, economy, talent, and higher education, they had to fight for all of it. This time was no exception. The farce was resolved properly.
It was about night time, more than 100,000 examinees were assigned to a few restaurants for dinner. On the night before the college entrance examination, there was a sumptuous dinner. The state subsidized it in order to wish all the examinees a successful start. The Green Mountain Base, Yellow Mountain Base, and a few other bases were gathered together.
In the past, the relations between these bases were relatively good, and their grades were about the same. In addition, the bases were relatively close to each other, and there would be frequent exchanges. This year was no exception. Lin Tian, Zhang Wei, and the others were arranged to sit at a table for more than a dozen people.
The table was not only filled with examinees from the Green Mountain Base, but also examinees from the Yellow Mountain Base and the Tusk Mountain Base. These examinees, Lin Tian, seemed to be more down-to-earth, and did not have a sense of superiority. They got along relatively well.
“Hello, my name is Zhang Wei. I’m a student from Qingfeng High School in Green City. This is my friend, Lin Tian, from Anping High School!”
After chatting for a while at the dining table, Zhang Wei’s talkative ability was revealed. He appeared to be very familiar with everyone, especially since they did not look like fierce people. Everyone drank their drinks and talked about the college entrance exam the next day.
Looking at the atmosphere, Lin Tian felt that it was much better than in the afternoon. The feeling of tension in the afternoon made him very uncomfortable. Everyone was an examinee, they should be harmonious to each other, it was not too late for them to compete in the examination hall.
On the examination hall, they were competitors, but outside of the examination hall, they were acquaintances.
“When I saw you guys just now, I felt that there was no hope. I was stuck at middle-grade bronze rank last month.”
“Haha, you are overstating it. We are also doing our best to complete the mission in the last few days!”
Zhang Wei and the students from Yellow City (Yellow Mountain Base) were chatting happily, while Lin Tian was chatting well with the students from Tusk City (Tusk Mountain Base). The atmosphere at the dining table was also quite good.
The friendliness of the other bases was also reflected from them. Although in principle, this point hunting competition could not be considered a collaboration, it was best if the other bases did not come to cause trouble.
If they could build a good relationship with the other bases, they might be able to have a smoother time in the examination hall. Of course, Lin Tian, Zhang Wei, and the others simply thought that it would be nice to have a few more friends.
After all, no one could predict where they would go in the future. Having one more friend meant one more path.
“I’ve heard that several bases have examinees who have contracted legendary-grade magical beasts. Other than the Imperial City, Hex City, and Celeste City that we know of!”
“What? Are you serious?”
When they were almost done eating, the people from the bases began to chat. After all, examinees who could reach bronze-level mid-grade and high-grade were considered elites among these bases. Furthermore, their backgrounds were all different, the information they knew about each other was different. Li Zirui of Yellow City told Lin Tian and the others about the gossip he knew.
Zhang Wei was the first to react. He almost stood up and roared. If Lin Tian didn’t cover his mouth with his hand, the whole restaurant would have heard it. Lin Tian thought that there were only two or three legendary-level magical beasts among the examinees.
He didn’t expect that there would be more of them from several bases.
“Don’t tell me there are gold-level armored envoys as well?”
