Chen Xing touched his own face, as well as his hair.

The greasy hair had vanished, and it seemed a bit shorter…

Changes in the Illusion Realm had not transferred to reality.

Inside the tent, the others were still deep in sleep, with only one spot empty—probably the student who left the Illusion Realm early. The other eight were still sleeping.

No one had expected that they would become the second to last person to leave the Illusion Realm.

Chen Xing couldn’t help but laugh and cry at his situation, unsure if his points were sufficient, having had half deducted, he didn’t know how many he had left.

Chen Xing took out his smartphone from his pocket.

Compelled by some force, he searched for Dong Fang.

The top entry displayed the name Dong Fang.

Chen Xing clicked on the entry.

Dong Fang, a genius from Shaoyang, born in the 451st year of the Great Xia Calendar, slaughtered seven Advanced Beast Tamers consecutively in the Huaisha River Battle of 498, and later ventured into the Exotic Region in search of his path…

451 years… That’s nearly four hundred years after the battle at Iron Rock Pass.

The timelines simply did not match.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

He opened the extended entry.

Finally, in a seemingly insignificant entry at the bottom, Chen Xing found the information he was looking for.

Six hundred ten years ago, in the battle at Iron Rock Pass, Colonel Dong Fang of the 72nd Division died in battle while holding Iron Rock Pass, posthumously promoted to Brigadier General, and buried in Martyrs’ Mountain outside Iron Rock Pass.

Green hills bury the bones of the loyal everywhere; although he had guessed the outcome, when he really saw the answer,

Chen Xing still felt a sense of melancholy.

…

Noticing Chen Xing’s awakening, a patrolling teacher outside beckoned to Chen Xing.

Chen Xing emerged from the tent.

The teacher was amiable and recognized Chen Xing. “Now that you’re awake, please leave the examination area so as not to disturb the other candidates.”

Chen Xing nodded politely and cast a glance back at the other still-sleeping people.

He then left the examination area, pulling out his smartphone to check the time.

Only four hours had passed since the exam began; it was noon, and the harsh sun beat down overhead.

It seemed that time flowed much faster in the Illusion Realm than in reality.

Once outside, Chen Xing first logged onto the college entrance examination official website, where one could check current point scores.

After entering his examination ID and passing facial recognition,

Chen Xing stared at the national rank displayed at the top: 1, and fell deep into thought.

He clicked refresh, but the trailing number was still the lonely 1.

So I’m still first after having half my points deducted?

What are the other candidates doing?

But there’s still time before the end of the exams; if the one in second place works hard, they could possibly…

Chen Xing shifted his glance towards the points of the second-ranked candidate.

There’s probably no chance.

He had 17,056,700 points.

The second place had 843,621 points.

A twenty-fold gap…

It seemed this college entrance exam should be secure.

If other candidates heard Chen Xing’s inner thoughts, they would surely grab him by his collar and howl with rage—who could treat enemies of energy levels eighty or ninety as mere pigs to slaughter? They were just high school seniors, not college seniors!

After checking his results, Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief, feeling his performance in this exam hadn’t let down the principal’s high expectations.

A champion of the university cup, and now a champion of the national examinations.

Back when he was just starting out, lacking money and resources, the school had provided significant assistance.

The school had given him plums; he returned peaches, achieving mutual success.

Feeling a bit hot, Chen Xing simply sat down in a nearby convenience store, took out his smartphone again,

and searched for the three Advanced Beast Tamers that participated in the battle at Iron Rock Pass from the Exotic Region.

Surprisingly, he easily found the relevant information.

The one leading the battle at Iron Rock Pass was Chi Xing, the Grand Archpriest of the Fentian Temple at Fentian Giant City.

His signature beast, the Flame-Patterned Giant Dragon, had stepped into Transcendence six hundred years ago.

But that was all the information available; deeper intelligence was blank.

Apart from Chi Xing, the other two Advanced Beast Tamers were Fei Ye and Ju Touchan.

Fei Ye’s signature beast, the Volcanic Demon Toad, was slain by a Great Xia Beast Tamer during the Wan Ku Mountain battle in the year 417 of the Great Xia Calendar.

And Ju Touchan’s beast was the Void Red-Eye.

A photo of the Void Red-Eye was attached below; the moment Chen Xing saw this photo, he instantly had a gut feeling—it was definitely this big eyeball that blasted a laser at Taotie!

He hoped it was still alive; when Taotie grew up, it could stomp on its huge eyeball and force it to pick up its feelers.

About half an hour later, Chen Lingya came out of the examination area.

Chen Xing stepped out of the convenience store, holding a bag, and handed over the bag filled with snacks and drinks.

“There’s food and drink inside.”

Chen Lingya took out a bottle of mineral water, twisted off the cap, and left the exam hall shoulder to shoulder with Chen Xing.

Chen Xing casually asked, “How did you rank? Did you check it?”

“Currently seventh in the nation,” Chen Lingya said, “The ranking is not bad.”

Chen Xing was curious, “How did the battle unfold afterward?”

Chen Lingya said, “After you sacrificed yourself, General Gu Yuzhi also returned to Iron Rock Pass with Xiao Qiang. A Super Rank Beast Tamer on the other side was killed—it was the one that ambushed Taotie, originally a creature with big eyes.”

“General Gu Yuzhi placed that creature’s body in front of your… remains as a tribute.”

At this point, Chen Lingya’s expression became somewhat odd.

At that time, the remains of the little brother were hardly recognizable.

It could only barely be seen as a lump of charred material.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xing could not help but laugh, “General Gu has really done the honorable thing.”

“With one less Super Rank on their side, our pressure was greatly reduced, but… another Super Rank Beast Tamer descended on their side afterward.”

Chen Xing frowned, “Another Super Rank descended? Why didn’t they directly descend with four people at the start, or is there a rule that only up to three can descend at a time?”

“Maybe,” Chen Lingya said, “It was also after the third Super Rank Beast Tamer descended that Iron Rock Pass was breached. This new third Super Rank was even stronger than the previous one, having strength similar to Chi Xing. Iron Rock Pass was breached a week earlier than historical records.”

“When the City was breached, General Gu Yuzhi rode his Beast Tamer from the east, drawing two Super Ranks away from there. Xiao Qiang stayed at the pass to cover their retreat and ultimately died from exhaustion in battle.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Xing felt pensive and checked on his phone.

The information on the phone only mentioned General Zhang Tianlin’s death in battle and did not mention the whereabouts of his Beast Tamer.

This kind of widely available information could be incomplete or even misleading.

What a pity…

After returning home, Chen Xing and Chen Lingya had lunch.

That afternoon at four-thirty, the Illusion Realm closed, and the national college entrance exam results were officially set!

Chen Xing’s college entrance examination score was confirmed as the top.

His sister’s score, however, dropped by one rank, making her the eighth in the exam.

Chen Xing was delighted, “Then you can go to Jiuzhou University with me, and if we’re lucky, we might even be assigned to the same class.”

Chen Lingya paused for a moment, then gently shook her head, “I’m not planning to go to college.”

Chen Xing, “Then where are you going?”

Chen Lingya spoke softly, “Can’t say.”

“Your principal?” Chen Xing squinted his eyes.

Chen Lingya said, “It’s not really related to him, it’s my own choice. But it’s also not definite that I won’t go to Jiuzhou University, maybe I might go.”

Chen Lingya winked at Chen Xing.

Chen Xing didn’t prepare to persuade her, as he believed that everyone is an independent individual and everyone has the freedom to make their own choices.

Since his sister had decided, he chose to silently bless and support her choice.

“Chi Yu, Little Wo, come eat.”

Chen Xing opened a bag of intermediate meat-based pet food, and after heating it, the aroma diffused through the room.

The figure of Chi Yu instantly appeared in front of the food bowl, while Little Wo was still making an effort to move toward the direction of the bowl behind him.

Chen Xing’s phone on the table started to ring, filled with continuous congratulatory messages and calls.

Upon seeing this, Chen Lingya smirked and smiled faintly.

The little brother is going to be busy now~

…

That evening, Chen Xing returned to the suburban farm where a large group of Twin-fiend Dogs were kept.

It wouldn’t do for them to go long periods without supervision.

That night, Chen Xing opened his phone to contact his mentor, inquiring about whether his Beast Tamers could be settled at Jiuzhou University, and also asked if his mentor had access to internal documents at Jiuzhou University for more details about that year at Iron Rock Pass.

Chen Xing hadn’t forgotten that when they entered the Illusion Realm initially, their identities were that of a special support team from Jiuzhou University.

Since they had that identity, it implied that Jiuzhou University might also have been involved in that incident at the time.

The next day, his mentor replied.

“The farm issue is sorted! It’s not school-approved land, some people were blocking me! They wouldn’t approve it, so I just bought a piece myself!

You can keep the Twin-fiend Dogs there without paying rent!

You just need to come over, for the transport of the Beast Tamers I’ll have the Universe Commerce Guild in Yilan help, they’ll deliver directly to the school.

As for more details on Iron Rock Pass, the school should have them, you can check in the library once you’re here.

But I checked briefly for you, the Advanced Beast Tamer from Fentian Giant City who was in charge of that battle has now become the Grand Archpriest of the Fentian Temple.

He’s one of the top ten influential figures in Fentian Giant City. He managed to ascend to Grand Archpriest even after losing the battle, his background must be pretty solid.

If you’re ready, Jiuzhou University is always welcoming you!”

Jiuzhou University, huh…

Chen Xing thought for a moment; the nearby Cave King Dungeon Number 06 Secret Realm was about to open, probably within this half-month.

He decided to wait for the Secret Realm to open, enter it to unlock the treasures of the Third Layer, and then leave.

His mentor had secured an opportunity for him to unlock the treasures of the Third Layer; it would be a waste not to do so.

The back and forth journey between the Exotic Region and Jinzhou would also be troublesome.
