Chapter 53 - Tang Ling’s Entrance (2/2)

Regardless, since he’s able to stand there for four hours straight and finish watching my match and Yu’s, and still have the heart to enter the cage, his mental state must be impressive, is it not?

With the thought in mind, Orston glanced over Tang Ling. He wanted to see if Tang Ling was drowning in grief.

However, he realized that he kind of disliked Tang Ling’s face. Why was this kid so similar to Yu? He was so calm that even his expression seemed to be missing.

That was right. Tang Ling was not just calm, but even his pace emanated confidence. Every step he took was precisely made, not shifting a single millimeter off from the previous one.

No one noticed the minor details though.

Tang Ling, however, noticed that after calling out his number, the instructor scrunched up the paper with the number written on it and tossed it away.

“If it’s a paper without any number and I’m arranged as the last, it’s reasonable because I’d never appear in the earlier numbers.”

However, Orston and Yu were arranged to take the exam just right before him, meaning the whole sequence could have been trifled with.

But why?

With the question lingering in his mind, Tang Ling was already standing beside the iron cage. His opponent was carried into the cage by a total of four warriors together, and they were being very careful with this last one.

A bad feeling rose in Tang Ling.

Right after they put the sealed cage down, the four warriors retreated to a safe distance before opening it swiftly.

There was no roar though. Tang Ling’s opponent did not even step out of the sealed cage the moment it was opened.

Two seconds later, a gleam of light shone from the shadow inside. A flash of silver entered Tang Ling’s sight.

His fingers grew cold. Could it be?

The big fellow inside the cage did not step out quickly, but when it finally came out of the cage, the four warriors swiftly removed the enclosure and scuttled out, locking the gate when they went out.

The crowd that was drowning in glory did not react at first until someone unintentionally glanced over at the thing inside the cage. Shocked gasps rippled around.

“Isn’t this a little too advanced for the examination level?”

“Who’s the last reserved warrior that has to face that thing?”

“No, it wasn’t intentionally prepared. Didn’t you hear? It’s all up to luck.”

“Then, why is that thing here? I can’t bear to watch the match anymore.”

“Yeah, right, I bet there won’t be a body left after it’s over, probably not even a finger.”

The wild beast that was released in the iron cage was obviously as attractive as Yu, hence drawing the people’s attention to the match.

Many planned to leave after the climax, but when they got a clearer look at the wild beast, all of them chose to stay.

It was the first time the exam was turned upside down. The crowd was not anticipating Tang Ling’s performance anymore. They were actually staying back to see how terrible the wild beast would be.

The affliction of this era lay in the fact that the admiration of the strong surpassed sympathy.

At least, there were some who felt that the wild beast’s level had stranded away from the category of the examination, but none of them thought of voicing the injustice on behalf of Tang Ling.

Instead, they were excited because of that creature, a giant Leceister silverback bear.

“I remember you. You’re the one who didn’t pay attention. Why? Don’t you want to go in?” The instructor walked to the iron cage and called out to Tang Ling from outside.

Tang Ling looked at the instructor calmly. “I’ll never run from something that I am going to do even though it isn’t fair.”
