Chief Inspector Yuan Zhen took action with great power, directly defeating the Lightning Gobzan Overlord. As a result, Chengde County returned to its former peace.

The college entrance examination was also held as scheduled without any setbacks.

Early in the morning, Li Feng rushed to school. His home wasn’t far from school, so he arrived after about ten minutes.

Before he could walk into the school, he saw buses parked inside the yellow line. There were also many military vehicles nearby.

Every year, the college entrance examination was an important day in Chengde County. There would be soldiers escorting them, but this year, because of Lightning Gobzan, the security is stronger.

Li Feng even saw many Class-Rank soldiers on guard.

Upon entering the school, he realized that many students had already arrived.

“Li Feng, over here, over here.” Yang Wei’s eyes were sharp. He immediately saw Li Feng who was alone and said, “Where’s the new teammate you mentioned?”

“If that doesn’t work, we still have a backup plan,” Sheng Xu said from the side. The so-called backup plan was to hire students at a high price.

The content of the college entrance examination this time was rather special. Due to the presence of the transfer students, some students knew that they would not be able to take the college entrance examination, so they decided to use unscrupulous methods during the college entrance examination.

Li Feng raised his head and looked around. Soon, he discovered Lin Ling’er’s figure in the crowd and said, “Over there. Let’s go!”

Beside Lin Ling’er were Jiang Sheng, Xu Luo, and Chen Dali. They were currently conversing.

“Junior Sister Ling’er, are you really going to team up with Li Feng? Are you being threatened? That guy doesn’t have the ability and is still arrogant and conceited. He even offended those transfer students. I’m afraid the results of the college entrance examination won’t be good.” Jiang Sheng frowned as he persuaded her.

Xu Luo said, “That’s right, Junior Sister Ling’er. Li Feng was still swindling people in the Gloomy Cat Forest last time. His character isn’t good. It’s better to stay away from people like him. Moreover, the college entrance examination is a big event in life. Although you still have a chance next year, you shouldn’t waste it like this.”

In her heart, a person like Li Feng was extremely shameless. He actually did something to Junior Sister Lin Ling’er, making her very angry.

“Swindling? Since when did you do something like this?” At this time, Li Feng and the others also came over to Lin Ling’er’s side. Yang Wei looked at him with a suspicious expression, and then immediately began to play dirty. “When did you hook up with Lin Ling’er? The last time we met, you even embarrassed her.”

“Ahem, I’m not like this…”

Li Feng explained, but when he saw Yang Wei’s disbelieving expression, he couldn’t be bothered to talk to him. Instead, he looked at Lin Ling’er and said, “How is it? Is it okay for us to form a team during the college entrance examination?”

To him, his teammates were just there for fun anyway. He didn’t care who they were. However, in order to reduce the damage during the college entrance examination, there was a rule that four people had to form a team. Otherwise, he would be more at ease alone.

“Yes!” Lin Ling’er nodded. Then, she looked at Jiang Sheng and the others and said, “I’ve already promised Li Feng that I’ll form a team with him this time.”

Jiang Sheng’s gaze towards Li Feng was very cold. He gritted his teeth and said, “Brat, although I don’t know how you got Junior Sister Ling’er to form a team with you. You always use such despicable methods. Sooner or later, someone will deal with you.”

Li Feng glanced at him and ignored him. After all, words were meaningless to him.

Very soon, all the students from the school had arrived. Zhou Zhengyang and the other teachers walked over from somewhere and started instructing everyone to get into the bus.

The students obediently followed their teams onto the bus. Soon, the bus was filled with people. Then, they set off.

“This street is missing a lot of people.”

The bus slowly travelled on the streets. Li Feng looked out of the window and felt a little emotional. In the past, the college entrance examinations were always lively and bustling, but this year, it was a little different. There were fewer pedestrians on the streets and many tall buildings were being rebuilt. It looked quite bleak.

“The county has recovered quite well.”

Yang Wei shook his head and said, “Overlord-leveled creatures are too much of a threat to us. If it wasn’t for the Chief Inspector, our losses would have been even more severe.”

Due to the threat of the Lightning Gobzan, the people in Chengde County had been in a state of panic over the past few days. Although Yuan Zhen had defeated his opponent, it would still take some time for the county to recover completely.

“When I reach the Awakened Rank, I’ll definitely take care of these dimensional creatures,” said Sheng Xu hatefully.

Yang Wei looked at him with disdain. “You? When you reach the Class Rank, you will have almost reached the end. You still want to reach the Awakened Rank? You are daydreaming!”

Most of the students who walked out of Chengde County would have exhausted their potential if they reached the Class Rank. Only very few of them would reach the Awakened Rank.

These words infuriated Sheng Xu, but he could not refute them.

“One must have dreams as a person,” said Li Feng with a slight smile. Then, he looked off into the distance.

Meanwhile, Lin Ling’er didn’t say anything. Her family background wasn’t ordinary, so she knew a lot more. She understood that Primary-Rank skills were extremely important for players.

As one advanced to the Class Rank, their Primary-Rank skills would also undergo a transformation, allowing players to deal with stronger dungeons. However, some people would forever remain at the Class Rank because they did not have Primary-Rank skills and could not keep up with their abilities.

This was also the current situation of most people in the Great Xia Kingdom.

Clang!

At this moment, the bus slowly came to a stop. The Gloomy Cat Forest dungeon was right in front of them. Everything was peaceful along the way.

“It seems that the Lightning Gobzan’s injuries are severe,” said Liu Jiang.

On a mountain peak in the distance, Yuan Zhen and the others looked around coldly. However, they did not find any traces of the Lightning Gobzan.

The college entrance examination this time could be considered as a bait set by Yuan Zhen. However, he didn’t expect the Lightning Gobzan to actually hold back.

Meanwhile, Yuan Zhen waved his hand and said, “Let’s not bother about that. Even if it destroys half of the dungeon, it won’t be a big deal. Let’s hurry up and start the college entrance examination!”

If the Lightning Gobzan destroyed half of a dungeon this time, it would have a 90% chance of entering the Class Rank. However, its dreams had been shattered now. Even though the Primary Rank Overlord was powerful, Yuan Zhen and the others were not afraid of it.

…

Students came down from the bus one after another. Li Feng was also in the crowd. After getting off the bus, Li Feng saw that there were already many people waiting in the Gloomy Cat Forest.

“It’s those transfer students!” Yang Wei’s gaze was cold when he saw those people. Many people nearby had the same reaction. They did not have a good impression of these transfer students who snatched their spots.

Li Feng also raised his head and looked at them. Most of the transfer students had cold expressions on their faces, as if they didn’t think much of the students from Chengde County.

“It’s Zheng Chang’an!” Lin Ling’er suddenly exclaimed.

Li Feng nodded. The few students who had clashed with him at the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion that day were also there. Meanwhile, Zheng Chang’an was looking at him with a playful expression, making a threatening gesture with his hand to slit his throat.

“These people are too arrogant.”

Many students saw Zheng Chang’an’s expression and thought that he was looking down on them. They were so angry that their bodies trembled, but no one dared to provoke him.

“Li Feng, I’m sorry. The person you offended is too strong. I had no choice but to leave your team.” At that moment, a figure appeared in front of Li Feng. It was Qin Anran..
