Chapter 399: Second round (1)

Both Lin Fan and Qiao Yi Fei immediately knitted their brows when they heard this.

They turned to look at the person who had just said this and when they saw what he looked like, they couldn't help being surprised.

It wasn't that they were actually surprised, but rather they found it funny because he looked exactly as they had expected him to look.

This was a person that was covered in muscles with a bald head and a big beard. There was even a large axe that was on his back, strapped to him.

The only thing that was considered missing was the fact that he was wearing normal clothes instead of clothes that were made from the pelt of an animal. Otherwise he would have been the perfect example.

But before either Lin Fan or Qiao Yi Fei could speak, there was someone who came over from the front of the room and said, "Is there a problem here?"

The muscular man revealed a smile when he heard this and he turned to the person that had come over as he said, "Yes, there's a kid who wandered in here without knowing what…"

Before he could finish, the person that had come over had already raised his hand to slap this muscular man across the face. The muscular man didn't even have a chance to resist before he was sent flying across the room. He didn't stop until he slammed into the wall, creating a large hole in it before breaking through to the other room.

It was a good thing that there was no one else in the other room, otherwise it definitely would have scared them.

But the fact that he was sent with enough force to break the wall was already shocking enough.

This was the headquarters of the Hunters Organization which meant that this definitely wasn't a normal wall. This building was made with the best materials that had defensive abilities where even a peak Fragmented Soul Realm Expert wouldn't be able to make a dent in the wall. Even those in the Embryo Soul Realm would find it hard to break this wall.

Lin Fan couldn't help taking another look at this person.

This person was someone who had long blonde hair that reached his waist and eyes that were just slits that never opened, but he definitely looked handsome. Then adding in the suit that he wore, it definitely gave him a handsome look.

He seemed to be in his early twenties, so he definitely was considered young, but the feeling that he gave Lin Fan was that of the Child Soul Realm.

That did make sense with how he had thrown that muscular man like he was nothing more than a toy.

That person didn't even look in the direction of the muscular man as he said, "I wasn't talking to you, you're not even qualified to speak in this situation."

Then after that, he turned to Qiao Yi Fei and revealed a bright smile as he said, "It's an honour to have young miss Qiao come here."

Then he turned to Lin Fan and said, "May I ask who this honoured one is?"

When Lin Fan heard the change in tone when this person turned to him, he could tell that there was another meaning in his voice.

Qiao Yi Fei looked at this person before giving a cold snort and leading Lin Fan into the room.

Lin Fan looked back at this person before following Qiao Yi Fei in.

It seemed like Qiao Yi Fei had quite a few admirers and they weren't weak.

This person should be a Hunter who was helping out with the exam since he was someone in the Child Soul Realm. He definitely wasn't someone who could be looked down on.

After Qiao Yi Fei entered the room, there were many people who turned in her direction and began whispering.

Lin Fan heard the various whispers and learned quite a bit.

"That's the Qiao Family's young miss, one of the Five Beauties of Harmony City, what is she doing here?"

"It seems like she's guiding someone to the exam? Does that mean that this person is sponsored by the Qiao Family?"

"Is he the disciple of the Bottomless Void Chef? But why have we never heard of him before?"

"It doesn't matter if we've heard of him or not, he'll definitely be targeted by all the fans of young miss Qiao during this round. Let's say a prayer for him."

Lin Fan could sense the various gazes with bad intentions looking at him, but he also wasn't worried.

After coming in, Lin Fan and Brainy in his sleeve had spread their spiritual sense to check out everyone else. Not a single person had the same aura as Yin Qiang, which meant that the strongest person here was probably in the high Embryo Soul Realm.

If they weren't even as strong as Yin Qiang, Lin Fan was certain that he would be able to easily defeat them.

The only one that he was worried about was the Hunter examiner who was glaring at him.

Qiao Yi Fei brought Lin Fan to one of the corners and they sat down together, waiting for things to start.

After a few minutes of waiting, the man with the long hair looked at his watch before saying, "Everyone gather up, we're sending you off now."

Everyone who had been waiting in the room suddenly turned to the front where the man with the long hair had been standing and in front of them, there was a portal that had suddenly appeared.

Once this portal had appeared, there was a person who had walked out of it. This was a woman who had bright white hair which was the first thing that attracted the eyes. Other than that, she was just a normal beauty.

This woman came out and looked around before asking, "Why are we short one?"

The man with the long hair looked over and said, "He dropped out."

The woman revealed a confused look as she asked, "Dropped out?"

Then she turned to the corner and saw Qiao Yi Fei before revealing an understanding look, "Oh, dropped out. It seems like you didn't hold back at all."

A chill suddenly came from the man with the long hair as he said, "Is that any of your business?"

The woman just ignored the man and said to everyone in the room, "Come forward and step in the portal, it's set to bring you to the location of the second round."

Everyone suddenly came forward as if they wanted to be first, but the woman suddenly released her aura and pushed them all back before saying, "Line up, one at a time. Don't you even have this common sense?"

After that, all of these people lined up before going in one by one.

Over where Lin Fan was, he didn't rush to go into the portal, rather he slowly walked to the back of the line. While he was walking over, Qiao Yi Fei came along with him, but she didn't say a thing.

The line slowly progressed and all the people disappeared until there was just Lin Fan and Qiao Yi Fei waiting.

The woman with the white hair came over and said, "Fei Fei, what are you doing here?"

Qiao Yi Fei turned to his woman and said, "I'm bringing the one my grandfather recommended over. I'll be leaving soon."

The woman with the white hair looked over Lin Fan before saying, "So this is the one that your grandfather chose for you?"

Qiao Yi Fei glared at this woman, but she didn't care at all as she gave a laugh. Then she said to Lin Fan, "Young man, break a leg out there. I hope that when I see you next time, you'll have your Hunters License."

On the side, the man with the long hair was glaring at Lin Fan, not hiding it at all. There was a strong killing intent also coming from him…

Qiao Yi Fei looked at Lin Fan for a bit before saying, "Break a leg."

Lin Fan gave a nod before walking through this portal.

This portal wasn't created as a set point since it would cost too much to create this kind of portal for the Hunters Exam each year. Rather this was a portal that was made with the spatial laws of the white haired woman.

Instead of creating a stable tunnel between two spots, this was an unstable tunnel that was created as a one use tunnel with the white haired woman's spatial laws. 

That was also why they had to go one by one since it would have collapsed if they all rushed into the portal at once.

The trip was different from the first portal that he took, rather this trip was much more rough. However, when it was over, Lin Fan was still able to land firmly on his feet.

The other candidates that had been in the room with Lin Fan mainly had clean clothes, but there were a few that had mud on their clothes from a rough landing since they couldn't adjust to the rough journey of the portal.

Lin Fan looked around and found that there were even more people here, people that hadn't been in the room before. These should be the people who had passed the first round.

All around them was a swamp that was completely filled with mud, so that was why most of them were just covered in a layer of mud.

While Lin Fan was looking around, there was a voice that suddenly called out, "Everyone gather up, we're about to start the second round!"
