Chapter Sixty-One: The Entrance Examination Begins, Teleported to White Sand Island
“Yang Feng, you lazybones, are you still in bed?”
As soon as the call connected, Gu Panpan’s mischievous and charming voice came through.
“Yang Feng, hurry up and come down! I’m at the cafeteria now. Once we finish eating, we’ll be heading out!”
“I got it,” Yang Feng nodded.
After quickly washing up, he headed downstairs to the cafeteria for breakfast.
Upon arrival, he saw Gu Panpan, who had already bought a mountain of snacks.
Yang Feng asked in confusion, “Why did you buy so many snacks?”
Gu Panpan sighed lightly, “Who knows how long this entrance exam will take? So I prepared more food this time—I don’t want to end up starving like last time. If I hadn’t met you then, I’d have starved to death.”
Hearing her words, Yang Feng could only smile helplessly.
After they finished breakfast, Yang Feng paid the bill. After all, how could he let a woman pay when eating together?
A simple breakfast cost him a hundred Daxia coins without effort. It had to be said, the expenses at Qingbei University were indeed steep. Outside, a hundred Daxia coins could easily cover several meals.
Meanwhile, Lin Xue and the others from Feilong Academy were already waiting. Besides Lin Xue, there were many more people, each forming their own small teams.
Gu Panpan pulled Yang Feng over.
Lin Xue looked at him with a stern face. “Once we’re teleported over, don’t go wandering off.”
She was no stranger to entrance exams, having participated before, and had plenty of experience.
Xiao Tiance shot Yang Feng a disdainful look. “Kid, don’t drag us down when the time comes.”
Lin Xue snapped, “Xiao Tiance, I don’t care what issue you have with Yang Feng. Once we reach the exam site, you’ll set it aside. You all understand how important this entrance exam is.”
“Now, let’s introduce our professions to each other so everyone knows what we’re working with.”
As the team leader, Lin Xue had to ensure everyone was united. Even if there were conflicts behind the scenes, they had to present a united front. Otherwise, they might as well give up on the exam.
“I’m Gao Yao, profession: Seer, level 21.”
“My name is Yu Miao’er, profession: Elven Archer, level 21.”
Both the Seer and Elven Archer were support professions, and rare ones at that. Seers could foresee dangers in advance. If a team had a Seer, their chances of survival doubled. The Elven Archer was a long-range fighter, with greater range and accuracy than a regular archer.
When it was Xiao Tiance’s turn, he spoke unhurriedly, “I’m Xiao Tiance, profession: Heavy Swordsman, level 21.”
The Heavy Swordsman was a rare variant among swordsmen, specializing in massive swords with far more destructive power than ordinary swordsmen.
“I’m Gu Panpan, level 20, profession: Shadow Assassin.”
“I’m Yang Feng, level 19, profession: Cursed Mage.”
“I’m Lin Xue, level 24, profession: Swordmaiden.”
After the introductions, Lin Xue’s gaze swept over Yang Feng and Xiao Tiance.
“I’ll say it again: for this entrance exam, we have to stick together. If anyone dares to play tricks during the exam, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Her stern tone made even Xiao Tiance’s expression turn serious.
Gu Panpan grinned. “Don’t worry, Sister Xue, we definitely won’t hold the team back!”
At that moment, a massive teleportation array appeared on the open ground.
“All students taking the entrance exam, prepare for teleportation!”
Just then, a gigantic pavilion appeared in the sky.
Gu Panpan couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment, “That’s the Hall of the War God!”
Yang Feng, too, was visibly shocked. Since arriving at Qingbei University, he had never seen the Hall of the War God. He hadn’t expected that he would witness it during the entrance exam.
A blinding white light burst from the Hall of the War God, enveloping the entire Feilong Academy. The students were instantly transported to the examination site.
The transmission lasted a full minute, indicating the exam location was far from Qingbei University.
As the light faded, the sound of ocean waves filled their ears.
Donghai City was so named because it bordered the Eastern Sea. Yang Feng had grown up here and was intimately familiar with the sea, confirming that the entrance exam was set on the ocean.
When his feet touched solid ground again and his vision cleared, sunlight streamed down, making Yang Feng feel as though he had returned to Donghai.
Gu Panpan’s face was pale as she clung tightly to his sleeve.
She pouted, “Long-distance teleportation always makes me feel sick.”
Lin Xue, standing nearby, said, “You’ll get used to it after a few more tries. Everyone feels off at first.”
As she spoke, Lin Xue glanced at Yang Feng in surprise. He looked perfectly calm, showing no discomfort whatsoever.
“Could it be that Yang Feng has experienced long-distance teleportation before?” she wondered silently, no longer daring to underestimate him.
Meanwhile, Yang Feng was taking in his surroundings. They were now on a small island surrounded by the sea, standing on a sandy beach as waves crashed ashore. Not far off, a shimmering barrier enveloped the entire island. Within, a variety of monsters could be seen roaming.
Floating in front of each person was a glowing card.
“That’s a quest card!” Lin Xue, drawing on her prior experience, reached for hers without hesitation.
Yang Feng did the same, and the moment he touched the card, a flood of information surged into his mind.
The island they stood on was called White Sand Island, inhabited by numerous sea monsters. At its center was a dungeon entrance known as the Heart of the Ocean. Their mission: fight their way to the island’s center, enter the Heart of the Ocean, slay the final boss, and obtain the demon core within.
