I Can Extract Abilities – Chapter 38

Chapter 38: Tracker

“I’m fine,” Li Feng shook his head and glanced at the three people beside Qin Anran. It was clear that this was the new team she had found.

The three also glanced at Li Feng, but then withdrew their gazes and continued their own conversations, paying him no mind.

Qin Anran looked at Lin Ling’er beside Li Feng and said, “It seems you’ve found a new teammate. That’s a relief.”

Seeing Lin Ling’er join Li Feng’s team, the last trace of guilt in her heart disappeared.

“Hmph!”

Yang Wei and Sheng Xu both gave Qin Anran the cold shoulder. They were still quite resentful about her betrayal.

Qin Anran looked at the two and said casually, “Your families are well-off. Even if you fail the college entrance examination this time, you can still live comfortably. Unlike ordinary people like me, if I fail, I might be stuck in Chengde County for the rest of my life.”

She was unwilling to live such an ordinary life and wanted to break free. The college entrance examination was her only chance.

Yang Wei and Sheng Xu were speechless. Putting themselves in her shoes, Qin Anran might not have done anything wrong. They were just a little upset.

“All students from Yude No. 3 High School, come here to collect your score counters,” Zhou Zhengyang shouted. Soldiers carried boxes of mechanical devices and placed them on the ground.

Hearing the order, all the students quietly lined up to receive their score counters.

Li Feng also lined up and soon received his own score counter, a device similar to a mechanical watch.

As soon as he put it on, a needle popped out from the watch and pricked his arm, drawing a drop of blood.

“Beep, blood sample collected successfully. Scanning.”

Confirming student name: Li Feng.

Confirmation successful.

Score: 0 points.

Ranking: None.

Confirming no additional weapons or armor worn, no abnormalities in the body.

Scan complete.

A series of mechanical sounds rang in Li Feng’s ears.

“Everyone, do not remove the score counters until the end of the college entrance examination. They contain your ranking and score. There are a total of three thousand two hundred and seventy-two students participating in this examination.

Only the top two thousand students will meet the minimum threshold for entering a university. The top one thousand students will have a chance to enter third-tier universities. The top three hundred students will have a chance to enter second-tier universities. The top thirty students may have a chance to enter first-tier universities. As for the top academies, you must be in the top ten.”

Seeing that everyone had put on their score counters, Zhou Zhengyang explained the rules of the college entrance examination.

The competition was fierce every year, especially this year. There were more than fifty transfer students from larger cities, almost occupying all the spots in the first-tier universities.

“Sigh, if it were in previous years, with you, Li Feng, I would have had a chance to enter a second-tier university. But this year, being targeted, I’m afraid even a low-tier university will be difficult. I hope we don’t encounter them in the Dark Cat Forest.”

Hearing this, Yang Wei’s face darkened slightly.

“Yeah, it’s too difficult this year. But even if we don’t get in, it’s okay. At worst, we can spend some money and see if we can pull some strings to get into a university and just muddle through. Besides, we might not even run into them,” Sheng Xu shook his head and said.

Once inside the dungeon, teams were separated. This was their only hope. The Dark Cat Forest was so big, the other party might not be able to find them.

Li Feng said calmly, “Don’t worry, I’m still somewhat confident. You don’t have to worry.” With his current strength, he could solo the entire Dark Cat Forest. There was nothing to worry about.

Yang Wei and Sheng Xu nodded, but they didn’t say anything else. There was still unconcealed worry in their eyes. They didn’t have much confidence in Li Feng’s words.

They knew that Li Feng had hidden strength, but those transfer students were not to be trifled with. As for teaming up with Li Feng, Yang Wei and Sheng Xu had long given up hope. They were just doing it to save face.

◈◈◈

“Kid, I didn’t expect anyone to dare to team up with you,” Zheng Chang’an walked up to Li Feng, his tone very frivolous.

Then he looked down at Yang Wei and Sheng Xu, threatening, “You guys really aren’t afraid of death. Although you can’t kill people in the college entrance examination, breaking legs and arms is common.”

“Are you threatening us? Hmph, don’t think that just because you came from a big city, you can do whatever you want. You can’t just run wild in Chengde County.”

Yang Wei was a little scared, but he still spoke forcefully.

Sheng Xu also said coldly, “Others may be afraid of you, but we are not.”

In reality, neither of them had much confidence.

“Heh!”

Zheng Chang’an sneered and looked at Lin Ling’er, saying, “How about it, beauty? Our previous invitation still stands. Following these losers will only lead to a bad end.”

“Scram!” Lin Ling’er replied coldly.

“Good, I like your feistiness,” Zheng Chang’an smiled sinisterly, walked up to Li Feng, and said, “Kid, you’re dead.”

After saying that, Zheng Chang’an left. But when no one was paying attention, a tiny button, like an ant, shot out from his hand and landed on Li Feng.

………

“How did it go? Did you place the tracker on that guy?” Lin Hai asked, a cruel look flashing across his face.

Zheng Chang’an smiled coldly, “Of course. Those idiots probably thought I was just trying to provoke them, not knowing that I made my move on them.”

The button he placed on Li Feng was a tracker.

With the tracker, even if they were separated after entering the dungeon, he could quickly find them.

“That’s good. A zero score in the college entrance examination is not just talk,” Ye Pingfan exhaled and said, “These weaklings shouldn’t be allowed to participate in the college entrance examination, wasting the resources of Great Xia Nation.”

………

At ten o’clock in the morning, the sun was already high in the sky.

“Students of Yude No. 3 High School, get ready to enter the dungeon,” Zhou Zhengyang said, seeing that the time was almost up.

At the same time, people from Yude No. 1 High School and Yude No. 2 High School also began to organize, arranging teams to enter the Dark Cat Forest in an orderly manner.

There were more than three thousand people participating in the college entrance examination this time. Naturally, they couldn’t all enter at once. The ancient gate didn’t have that much capacity.

To take care of the local students of Chengde County, the transfer students were left to enter last.

The transfer students also understood this. Someone said disdainfully, “Petty tricks. Playing these tricks is useless.”

Hunting cat demons depended on one’s own strength. Entering a little earlier or later didn’t affect the final result.

Li Feng and the others were also in the middle of the line. They soon passed through the ancient gate and entered the Dark Cat Forest.

The surroundings suddenly changed from bright light to dimness, making it difficult for them to adjust.

“Whoosh!” Just then, danger quietly arrived. A cat demon pounced down from a large tree, attacking Yang Wei.
