On the large screen in the public lounge area, the rankings had just begun to play. When the top 10 appeared in front of the screen, the expressions on the faces of these big shots were all different.
“This child, Chen Zheng, seemed to be number one when he was in Imperial City High School, right?”
“Haha, I remember this child. He’s very strong. I’m afraid that he has met his match this time.”
“In that case, your Imperial College seems to have high hopes for Chen Zheng. Lin Tian, you won’t be able to snatch him away!”
“Hahaha, although Lin Tian and Chen Zheng have never met before, they do have some similarities.”
“That’s not just similarities. These two kids will definitely fight. If they were to be in the same school, wouldn’t the school be torn down?”
.
“Haha, that’s right. It’s a pity that they are all good seedlings. It would be great if we could have all of them. What a pity!”
The attention of the big shots seemed to be focused on Lin Tian and Chen Zheng. The more they talked, the more excited they became. In the end, they even started to feel pity.
It was as if Lin Tian and Chen Zheng had a special power of fate that forced them to fight to the death.
The big screen in the public lounge not only projected the results, but also focused on the examinees. After the top ten were announced, the big screen would focus on the examinees again.
They gave the first place Lin Tian and second place Chen Zheng a close-up, as if to let the big shots remember the faces of these two people. If one was careful, one would notice that on the foreheads of Lin Tian and Chen Zheng had similar mark.
However, the mark on Lin Tian’s forehead was a full moon. Under the full moon, there was a wolf that was howling at the sky. However, the mark was very faint. Usually, it was in a semi-transparent state. If one did not look carefully, they would not be able to see it. Only when he was in armor, would it be particularly obvious.
As for the mark on Chen Zheng’s forehead, it was a quarter of the black after the full moon. Under the full moon, there was also a wolf. However, the wolf opened its big mouth, as if it was swallowing the full moon behind it. The mark was also very faint. However, the black color was slightly more obvious.
The two of them looked like young high school students on the screen. However, they both showed determined faces.
The big shots in the public resting area watched for a while. It was already six o’clock. At night, they had been notified to temporarily ban the assessment. The big shots also left the venue one after another, the examinees who had been eliminated and returned to the public resting area also left one after another.
The first day of the exam finally ended. After a day of exams, there were only 110,000 examinees left in the examination hall. In total, there were more than 50,000 examinees who were eliminated. This was a record for the number of examinees who were eliminated in the past.
…
Time passed by minute by minute. The time arrived at 9 pm. Lin Tian and the rest were given a tent and started camping on the spot. Lin Tian looked at the lights in the tent and couldn’t help but sigh.
“The first day has ended just like that!”
Lin Tian said softly as he reminisced. He felt that the first day was like a dream. At that moment, the magical beast tattoo on his back lit up. Then, a petite figure pounced on him and hugged him.
“Lin Tian, why are you not bringing me out to play?” After Xiao Ling nuzzled Lin Tian with her face, she pouted and said, like a child throwing a tantrum. Today, Lin Tian had not only summoned the Stellar Wolf, he had even used Mandala Flower, but he had not summoned Elemental Queen.
This made her very unhappy. She was already bored in the magical beast space, so she wanted to pester Lin Tian every day. Lin Tian looked at Elemental Queen and could not help but feel helpless. He pinched her little face.
“You are still a child. When you are older, I will bring you along, okay?” Lin Tian said softly, as if he was coaxing a child.
After Elemental Queen heard it, her eyes lit up. She was very expectant, and she immediately became happy again. She hugged Lin Tian’s hand and did not let go.
Lin Tian looked at the little girl beside him, and a sense of guilt rose from him. Then, the full moon hung high in the sky, and the moonlight shone on everyone’s tents. The magical beast tattoo on Lin Tian’s arm lit up, as if it was absorbing the power of the moonlight.
He felt a wave of fatigue sweep over him, and he quickly fell asleep. The other examinees also fell asleep one after another. The night passed without a word.
…
Hex City Military Region, man-made magical region, examination venue
The seven o’clock broadcast rang, and all the examinees started to get up one after another. The military region’s resources began to be distributed. After everyone had washed up and tidied up, the eight o’clock broadcast rang.
The second day’s examination finally began.
Lin Tian, Long An, and the others temporarily formed a small team. They planned to first enter a wider area before splitting up. After all, the examination had just started, and they all needed to adjust their state. When the time came, they would have enough time to look for the keepsake by themselves.
However, after a few kilometers, they returned to the area where they were yesterday. Everything changed. Lin Tian felt the ground tremble slightly. His ears twitched and he heard a slight movement five to six kilometers away, he glanced at it but did not see anything.
“Did you guys feel it?”
Lin Tian looked at Long An and the others. Long An and the others looked confused and shook their heads. They did not feel anything. Lin Tian was even more puzzled. After a few minutes, the noise became louder and louder, then, the ground began to tremble.
“Dong, dong, dong, dong, dong!”
As if something was approaching, the ground began to shake irregularly. Then, they could only see the bushes a kilometer away. The forest was opened up by groups of magical beasts. Countless magical beasts that were several meters long and more than ten meters long rushed out from within.
“Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!”
These magical beasts were densely packed. They rushed over from afar in an orderly manner. Wherever they passed, not a single blade of grass stood. All the bushes and forests were instantly flattened by these magical beasts.
The ground began to split open one huge crack after another, splitting open in all directions. The silver-level magical beasts that were more than ten meters tall were burning with hot flames on their bodies, raising the surrounding temperature to an unimaginable level.
Even from a hundred meters away, one could see that the air was already starting to become hot and distorted. The roars of the magical beasts shook the sky, and the entire protective barrier of the examination hall was trembling violently. As the magical beasts densely packed together, they came over in all directions.
From a distance, the magical beasts that could fly a few meters were like locusts crossing the border. In an instant, the entire examination hall was covered by swarms of magical beasts.
“More than 200,000, right?”
Lin Tian and the rest muttered to themselves. Whether in terms of scale or number, these magical beasts far surpassed any beast tide they had ever seen.
Moreover, not only did a large number of magical beasts rush out at the front, but they also surged in from all directions like a tide. The entire area was completely razed to the ground, and dust flew up to a height of more than a hundred meters.
One had to know that this examination hall could accommodate nearly 200,000 examinees in just half of the area. At the same time, they were searching in different areas. Moreover, Lin Tian had searched for a day yesterday, and the total number of examinees he had seen was probably less than 10,000.
Such a large number of examinees were only scattered in half of the area. These magical beasts rushed over, almost covering the area that Lin Tian and the rest could see. One could imagine how terrifying the number of the magical beasts were.
