They Were Reborn And Said I Am The Savior - Chapter 19

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed, and the academy entrance exams had arrived as scheduled.

At Villa No. 79 in Dragon Court, however, heart-wrenching screams had been echoing continuously.

Only as night began to break into dawn did the villa finally fall silent.

Lying on his sweat-soaked bed, Zhang Kuang panted heavily, joyfully exclaiming, “I finally… finally made it through!”

Half a month ago, after vowing to defeat Lin Daotian in the exams, he had injected himself with the gene enhancement serum.

This was already his second injection, and though it was excruciating, he managed to endure it.

Not for anything else, but to reclaim his pride.

He wanted to defeat Lin Daotian fair and square, to erase the shame of the past.

And finally, he was reaping the rewards of his suffering.

“With my body now comparable to a Tier 4 demon, along with my Vajra Hammer developed to Tier 5… Lin Daotian, you’re destined to lose this time! Hahaha…”

Laughing, he got up and rushed to the bathroom, letting cold water wash away his sweat and fatigue.

After a 20-minute shower, he emerged feeling refreshed.

After dressing up, he turned to his lackeys, saying, “Pack up. We’re heading to the exam venue!”

His two friends exchanged glances, trying to persuade him.

“Why go now? Isn’t your exam tomorrow?”

“Brother Zhang, you should rest at home. You just injected the gene enhancement serum; your body hasn’t fully recovered yet!”

“No, I have to go. Because today is Lin Daotian’s exam day!” Zhang Kuang said seriously, “I need to see his current condition with my own eyes to set my mind at ease!”

His companions understood well that Lin Daotian had always been a thorn in Zhang Kuang’s side. Defeating him was Zhang Kuang’s obsession, one they couldn’t shake.

So, they stopped trying to dissuade him.

“Alright, let’s go!”

Half an hour later, they arrived at the venue — Jiangnan Stadium.

This was the largest stadium in the region, capable of holding 300,000 people, and the site of many major events.

Every year, the academy entrance exams were held here.

Since many outstanding talents emerged from these exams, shining brightly with the promise of dominating future battles, the exams drew huge audiences.

Not only was the venue packed with spectators, but countless people also watched online.

Zhang Kuang and his friends arrived just in time.

At that moment, the host was standing on a high stage, speaking enthusiastically: “Welcome, everyone, to the annual academy entrance exam! I’m your old friend, and also the host for this year’s exam, Meng Bo!”

“Thank you… thank you for the applause; I’m flattered! But I know this applause isn’t for me, but for every student preparing to take the exam, so I’ll get straight to the point!”

“But before we begin, let’s welcome the esteemed guests and chief judges of this year’s exam with a round of applause!”

“Our guests are…”

“Dragon King Lin Aotian!”

“Sword King Shen Lingjun!”

“And the principal of Divine Martial University… Xia Qingfeng!”

Three familiar figures appeared in the VIP section, greeted by a thunderous round of applause.

Zhang Kuang was stunned. “I didn’t expect Xia Qingfeng, the principal of Divine Martial University, to be here!”

It was well-known that Xia Qingfeng was not only the principal of Divine Martial University but also one of the top-tier powerhouses of the current era. He was basically Optimus Prime of the human race. He was extremely busy and rarely made public appearances.

For him to take time out to attend such a minor entrance exam was nothing short of astonishing.

The host continued with excitement, “Our Principal Xia is here specifically for a certain young talent! He’s worried this talent might be lured away by another school, so he’s come in person! Now, who could this person be? Let’s wait and see!”

“Brother Zhang, Principal Xia must be here for you!”

One of Zhang Kuang’s companions said excitedly, “After all, at the annual summoning ceremony, you summoned the eight-colored Vajra Hammer, second only to Leng Qingyue, the school beauty. But Qingyue doesn’t have the same resources as you, so she definitely can’t compare! Be sure to put on a good performance later and don’t disappoint Principal Xia!”

“Yes, Brother Zhang! I think it’s you too. Go for it!”

The corners of Zhang Kuang’s mouth curled up with pride because he also believed Principal Xia was there for him.

After all, in the entire school, or even across the city’s high schools, who else could compare to him?

Outwardly, however, he chose to stay humble, quietly scolding the two, “Don’t say that. Be humble. I think Principal Xia might actually be here for both me and Qingyue!”

The two companions suddenly understood.

“Right, right… Principal Xia must be here for you and Leng Qingyue!”

“You two are meant to be together!”

Zhang Kuang happily waved his hand, “Alright, enough talk. The exams are about to start; let’s find somewhere to sit!”

Meanwhile, in the VIP seats.

After the three powerful figures waved to the audience, they took their seats.

Dragon King Lin Aotian took a puff of his cigar, grinning as he asked, “Hey, old man, the host said you came for a certain talent. Who is it? Tell me!”

Xia Qingfeng responded with mild annoyance, “You already know the answer, don’t you?”

Lin Aotian chuckled smugly, saying nothing.

“By the way, how is his current strength?”

Lin Aotian was surprised, “Didn’t Teacher Su tell you?”

Xia Qingfeng sighed, “I asked her many times, but she wouldn’t say a word. She wanted to keep it mysterious and surprise me! So, I still have no idea how strong that kid is!”

“If Teacher Su didn’t say, then I won’t either!” Lin Aotian crossed his legs in another direction and boasted, “But I’ll say this: that kid’s strength is absolutely beyond your imagination—better than I was back then!”

“Is that so? That really raises my expectations.” Xia Qingfeng’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

Sword King Shen Lingjun, who was seated nearby, was growing more and more puzzled as he listened.

“Hey, hey, hey… who are you two talking about? You’ve been speaking in riddles for ages, and I’m completely lost. Give me a hint; don’t make me feel like an outsider!”

Lin Aotian and Xia Qingfeng exchanged a glance and shook their heads with a smile.

“We can’t say! This is top secret…”

“You’ll find out soon enough!”

Shen Lingjun grumbled, “I can’t stand people who keep secrets. All you secret-keepers, get out of here!”

Just then, a commotion erupted on the field.

Lin Aotian and Xia Qingfeng looked over, their spirits lifting.

“He’s here!”

In the stands, Zhang Kuang, who had been waiting impatiently, perked up.

“So, you finally showed up. Let’s see what you’re made of!”

Amidst the crowd’s eager anticipation, Lin Daotian strode confidently into the stadium.

Applause followed, along with drums and cheers that echoed through the air.

But Lin Daotian was used to it. As a super-rich second-generation, and the son of the Dragon King, he was accustomed to being greeted with flowers and applause wherever he went.

In the throngs of people, however, Lin Daotian still noticed a few individuals.

His father, Lin Aotian, Divine Martial University’s principal Xia Qingfeng, and Zhang Kuang, who constantly made trouble for him.

Zhang Kuang shot him a challenging glance, but Lin Daotian ignored it.

After all, he was no longer the same person as before.
