Led by the vehicles, the students of Qing City First High School soon arrived at the site of the college entrance exam. Joining them were senior high school students from other schools across Qing City.
The first thing the examinees saw after getting out of the vehicles was bloodstains on the ground, with a dense forest stretching ahead.
"Some of this blood belongs to humans, and some to demon beasts. This is the Qing Province Garrison Army's most unusual training ground, and the death rate is very high."
Martial Saint Yuanming explained it to Lin Tian.
"But some among these people may be used by traitors, unknowingly killing important figures or dying after being driven into a desperate situation."
Lin Tian spoke coldly.
"You're right. So this time, we'll see whether you can hook the biggest fish."
Martial Saint Yuanming replied.
As the two spoke, four figures descended from the sky and landed beside them.
"Lin Tian!"
The leader called out directly.
"Green Light Martial Saint?!"
Lin Tian was somewhat surprised when he saw Green Light Martial Saint and the three Garrison Army Martial Saints he had met before.
He had not expected the four Martial Saints Yuanming mentioned to be these four.
"There are too many eyes here. Let's talk inside."
Green Light Martial Saint spoke, gesturing for everyone to head into the camp. The arrival of the four had already caused quite a stir, even though the examinees did not know they were Martial Saints.
After Lin Tian and the others left, the discussions around them immediately grew louder.
"Who was that guy just now? He was an examinee like us, right? Why were five big shots surrounding him?"
One person spoke, drawing agreement from many students.
Those were big shots capable of flight. To descend so casually from the sky, they had to be at least Great Grandmasters of the Martial Dao Eighth Layer.
"This is a special examination site that was suddenly changed this year. Ordinary experts can't even come here. Anyone who can fly here, or even enter the camp directly, must be part of the Garrison Army's core!"
Some students guessed, equally puzzled by Lin Tian's identity.
Among this year's examinees in Qing City, who had such an imposing display?
Not even Jiang Mingyue of the Jiang Family, who had awakened a Special Physique, could manage that, right?
In the Experimental Class's area, everyone was shocked when they saw Lin Tian enter the camp.
"Only Martial Saints can speak with Martial Saint Yuanming as equals, right? Those people are all Garrison Army Martial Saints!"
They could not believe that five Martial Saints had appeared for this college entrance exam.
In past college entrance exams, at most there would be a Great Grandmaster overseeing things. Better ones might have a Martial King appear.
But this year, there were five Martial Saints!
"Lin Tian's identity is too special, and the examination site chosen this time is the Garrison Army's training ground. It's probably meant to lure the traitors into making a move."
"With five Martial Saints here, I wonder if the Garrison Army's traitors will still dare to act."
"This is an open scheme, all to draw out the Garrison Army's traitors."
"Lin Tian, I'm very sorry. I never expected there to be traitors within the Garrison Army!"
Green Light Martial Saint apologized to Lin Tian.
He did not know who the Garrison Army's traitor was, but too many people had learned that day that Lin Tian was an Extreme Martial Artist, and all of them had been Garrison Army higher-ups.
The three Martial Saints who had returned with him this time were all highly suspicious, but even a traitor would not make such an obvious move, would they?
"Just compensate me."
Lin Tian smiled.
He knew that the appearance of a traitor within the Qing Province Garrison Army was not something Green Light Martial Saint could decide.
This time, because of him, an Extreme Martial Artist, the traitor within the Garrison Army had been exposed early. It could also be considered a warning for the Garrison Army.
"There will naturally be compensation. You helped us uncover a festering tumor."
Green Light Martial Saint's words carried deep hatred. Traitors were what he hated most, yet he had never expected one to emerge within the Garrison Army he trusted most.
"This college entrance exam shouldn't require any concern from us. Just show your strength to your heart's content. We'll bear all the consequences."
Before leaving, Green Light Martial Saint said this to Lin Tian.
Having broken through to the Martial Dao Second Layer, Lin Tian would surely bring everyone immense shock. The name Lin Tian would be deeply carved into everyone's minds during this college entrance exam.
"Examinees, the devices in your wristwatches record points. Every time you kill a demon beast, the points on your wristwatch will update, and you can check your ranking through it."
"The points corresponding to demon beasts of each level are also displayed on your wristwatches. You may check them yourselves later."
"All examinees in Qing Province will have their own rankings, but only the top one thousand will appear on the leaderboard."
"This assessment will last for two days. Each of your backpacks contains the corresponding supplies. Go fight for your own rankings!"
On the high platform before the training ground, the chief examiner addressed the many examinees below.
As the chief examiner's words fell, the barrier blocking the examinees from entering the forest vanished.
The countless examinees surged into the forest like a flood.
Lin Tian, however, strolled leisurely at the back of the group. The site of this college entrance exam was the forest within the training ground, and the deeper one went, the stronger the demon beasts hidden within would become.
In a two-day college entrance exam, the second day was when they would truly exert their strength.
Unbeknownst to all the examinees, many tiny drones followed them into the forest.
"I never expected Qing Province to have an examination site broadcast nationwide. In the past, only the cities of the Big Four received that treatment."
Green Light Martial Saint said with a self-mocking tone.
The college entrance exam had once been broadcast nationwide for every province in Dragon Nation, but in the end, only the Imperial Capital, Magic City, Ancient Capital, and Jiangnan City retained it.
In those four cities, monstrous geniuses were born every year, and their viewership ratings were also the highest.
As the college entrance exam began, the people of Dragon Nation watching the livestreams were somewhat bewildered.
"Why has a Qing Province stream been added to this year's college entrance exam broadcast?"
"Qing Province isn't considered that strong, is it? Why has this province appeared this year?"
Driven by curiosity, many people selected the Qing Province stream among the five livestream rooms.
But when they saw a separate points entry for someone named Lin Tian on the Qing Province stream's leaderboard, they were all confused.
"This is a bug, right? The staff must have made a mistake."
Many people believed it was a bug and reported it.
But the staff's response was that there was no problem whatsoever. The Qing Province livestream room was supposed to be like this, and Lin Tian's points were meant to be listed separately.
When this administrator-exclusive bullet comment appeared in the Qing Province livestream room, everyone was dumbfounded.
"What the hell is going on with Qing Province? They finally got a college entrance exam livestream, and they're already pulling this kind of nonsense. Are they sick in the head?"
Some people cursed angrily. Lin Tian could not be found anywhere on Qing Province's leaderboard.
Lin Tian's points remained at zero, while the highest-ranked person in Qing Province already had one hundred points and was still steadily increasing.
Meanwhile, Lin Tian, who had been listed separately, was completely a negative example.
Many people were dissatisfied and reported the Qing Province livestream room one after another, while a question arose in their hearts.
"Who is Lin Tian, and why has Qing Province listed him separately?"
