Chapter 25 - The College Entrance Examination

Chapter 25: The College Entrance ExaminationFinally, Lin Feng spotted the figure he was searching for in the hall. Qin Xian appeared before everyone, surrounded by a group of Qin family experts.

“Who is that? So young yet already a proctor?” 

“He seems about our age!”

Many students were discussing him, and some girls were swooning. “He’s so handsome… He’s even more handsome than my favorite celebrity!”

Lin Feng maintained a blank expression, his eyes full of murderous intent. He was certain that Qin Xian had come for him! After all, the Arcane Source was still in his possession, and the Qin family would not let it go. 

After today’s examination, he would be under the protection of an academy. So Qin Xian’s only chance to act was today—during this examination.

Even though Lin Feng understood this, there was no other option for him. After all, he couldn’t just skip the exam!

Taking a deep breath, Lin Feng silently awaited his fate. He glanced again at his status panel, focusing on the “Arcane Source” in his accessory slot, feeling slightly reassured. As long as the Arcane Source was there, he had limitless potential!

In the hall, Qin Xian also noticed Lin Feng. Beside him, Qiu Bo whispered, “Young master, everything is in place.”

Qin Xian nodded, gazing at the massive number of candidates. His eyes darkened, and a hint of complexity flashed through them. But soon, his hesitation vanished, replaced by determination. 

For the Arcane Source and the grand plan of the Qin family, he was destined to walk a path of no return—either reaching the pinnacle or falling into the abyss. Sᴇaʀᴄh the N0vᴇlFire(.)nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

At that moment, an exclamation arose from the crowd.

“The Governor is here!”

The plaza in front of the Divine Revelation Temple buzzed with excitement as Chen Beiguo, the governor of Donghai Province, led a group of high-ranking officials to the temple.

“Greetings, Governor!”

“Greetings, Governor!”

Cheers erupted as people paid their respects, demonstrating the high regard Chen Beiguo commanded in Donghai Province. Even ordinary citizens felt that he had done an excellent job.

The candidates were shocked, not expecting the governor himself to oversee the examination. After all, such visits from Chen Beiguo were rare over the years…

In the temple hall, examiners stood up to welcome him, their faces showing surprise at Chen Beiguo’s arrival.

Chen Beiguo waved his hand with a smile, saying, “The college entrance examination is a major event for selecting talents in Donghai Province, so I’ve come to take a look.”

His gaze subtly lingered on Qin Xian, clearly implying—I’m watching you, so don’t try anything.

Seeing Chen Beiguo’s arrival, Qin Xian merely smiled slightly, showing no surprise, and nodded politely. “We meet again, Governor.”

Chen Beiguo gave Qin Xian a deep look. Though he wasn’t aligned with the Qin family and held a certain disdain for Qin Xian, he had to admit that this young master of the Qin family was indeed remarkable—not just in strength and talent but also in scheming and depth. 

Even with his keen observation, Chen Beiguo couldn’t discern anything from Qin Xian’s expression.

“Master Qin!”

“Master Qin, you’ve worked hard today!”

Provincial Council Chairman Yu Feng and Inspector General Feng Jun showed flattering smiles as they approached Qin Xian. They were all under the Qin family. Although they were significant figures in Donghai Province and, strictly speaking, Qin Xian was just a commoner, Qin Xian was the heir of the Qin family. 

In a sense, they were vassals of the Qin family, and Qin Xian was their young master. Their respect for him was unreserved, even with a touch of pride.

As time passed, the majestic voice echoed through the Tianqi Temple.

Dong—Dong—Dong—!

Nine chimes sounded, and everyone’s expressions turned solemn.

The examination began!

Pillars of light suddenly illuminated the Divine Revelation Temple, teleporting thousands of candidates inside. Inside the temple was a separate space with over a hundred portals leading to different trial spaces.

[Candidates, please proceed to the examination according to your assigned numbers and choose your assessment project.].

[In the trial copy, points will be awarded based on your evaluation.].

[Exam rules: Before entering the trial space, please undergo a proctor’s inspection. Apart from equipment, no items may be brought in. Any violation will result in disqualification!].

The solemn voice echoed as the rules appeared on the screens inside the temple.

Lin Feng noticed a badge in his hand with a number on it: [B18—75].

It seemed to be his exam number. Following it, he found portal B18.

Inside the Divine Revelation Temple, the atmosphere was tense among the thousands of candidates. Everyone was nervous because this trial would determine their future!

Lin Feng also felt several gazes upon him. He looked up at the hall again. Across from the proctoring team were shadowy figures hidden in the mist. Those were the experts from various universities.

Among them were instructors from Jixia Academy.

Jixia Academy…

A determined look flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes!
