The delicacies of the heavens begin with obtaining gem meat.

While Jiang Yan was busy at work, the atmosphere inside the trap tower was completely different.

The arriving candidates initially didn't want to pay attention, but the aroma wafting from the kitchen kept wafting into their noses.

Wave after wave of challenges made the remaining time seem incredibly long for these test takers.

Time ticked by, and Gon, Killua, Kurapika, Leorio, and Tonpa finally arrived in the last minute.

With their arrival, the time for the third exam was completely over.

Liber's voice then came through the loudspeaker.

"The third Hunter Exam: 26 people passed, and one person died."

"The final number of people who advanced to the fourth exam was twenty-five..."

At this moment, Jiang Yan slowly walked out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of freshly made bird meat porridge.

Now that we're leaving the trap tower, we can't stay in the kitchen any longer.

As soon as Jiang Yan stepped out, he noticed that many examinees were staring at him, most of them with undisguised resentment.

Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

He was just cooking in the kitchen and trying out a few new dishes. He didn't offend anyone, did he?

Yes, he must be mistaken.

He shook his head, not thinking about it anymore, quickly finished the bird meat porridge in his hand, and followed the others out of the trap tower.

The warm sunshine shone on me, and a gentle breeze carried the faint scent of grass.

Jiang Yan couldn't help but stretch out a big yawn, his muscles and bones making a comfortable, soft sound.

After two and a half busy days in the tower, I can finally breathe some fresh air.

....................................

After a brief moment of relaxation, Li Bo walked up to the group.

"Congratulations everyone on successfully escaping the trap tower."

"Next, only the fourth and final exam of the Hunter Exam remains."

At this point, Liber pointed to an island that seemed to be not far from the trap tower.

The island is covered by dense jungle, and its coastline is winding and shimmering in the sunlight.

"The venue for the fourth exam is right there—Sabir Island."

Then, Lieber snapped his fingers crisply.

A staff member pushed a small cart over, on which was a black box that looked rather mysterious.

All the candidates' eyes were instantly drawn to the box.

Liber looked at everyone and continued.

"Next, we'll need everyone to draw lots."

Upon hearing this, all the candidates couldn't help but feel curious.

"Borrowing lots?"

"What kind of lottery? Does it determine the content of the exam?"

"What the hell are you up to..."

Li Bo raised his hand to quiet everyone down before slowly explaining.

"The results of the draw will determine your roles in the fourth exam—hunter and hunted."

"There are twenty-five number cards in this box, each with your exam number written on it."

Upon hearing this, a small commotion arose in the crowd.

Some quick-thinking candidates had already quietly removed their number tags from their chests and started observing the number tags of other candidates.

Jiang Yan stared at the box, a question that had been lingering in his mind.

What happens if you're lucky enough to draw your own exam number?

Get 6 points directly and advance to the final assessment?

It seems not impossible.

After all, luck is also a part of ability!

Of course, the probability of this happening is extremely small.

....................................

"Then, in the order of escaping the trap tower, each person will come up and draw a card."

"Now, please have the first candidate come forward."

Hisoka calmly walked forward, then drew a card, and turned to walk aside.

Next, it was Jiang Yan's turn...

Only after the last Dongba drew the last card did Liber speak.

"It seems everyone has finished drawing."

"Now, please peel off the stickers on your cards."

As Li Bo finished speaking, everyone began to peel off the stickers.

Jiang Yan was the same, and the number on his card was 53.

Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow, "Unfortunately, it's not number 103."

As for number 53... because he had been paying attention to everyone's numbers, Jiang Yan quickly determined that his target was Bao Ku'er.

A guy whose luck was either good or bad, finally became a hunter, only to be captured by the chimera ants.

The catwoman opened its brain and gave it knowledge about Nen abilities, while its body was made into meatballs and eaten by the queen ant to feed the king ant.

Jiang Yan stroked his chin, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

This time, Pokkuru's fate may be rewritten.

After all, he would eliminate Pokkuru directly.

"The numbers on the cards are your next hunting targets."

Liber's voice rang out again.

Many candidates instinctively covered their number tags and scanned their surroundings warily.

Of course, there are also those who don't care at all, such as Hisoka, Shuta Reiku...

Ignoring the reactions of the candidates, Liber continued to explain the rules in a slow and methodical manner.

"The numbers you have drawn have been recorded in the memory of this box, so you are free to do with the cards you have."

"What you need to take is the number tag on the hunted person."

"Of course, the method of robbery is not limited."

The Hunter Exam is not some peaceful competition.

...............................

Upon hearing this rule, the atmosphere became extremely tense, and the candidates instinctively distanced themselves from each other.

Liber remained unmoved by this and went on to announce the scoring rules.

"Listen carefully, everyone. Here's how the points are calculated. The number tag you draw on the target's body counts as three points; your own number tag also counts as three points."

"Apart from this, any other person's number plate will only be counted as one point."

"To advance to the final exam, you need to collect a total of six number plates."

"This is the only condition for passing the fourth exam."

After explaining the rules, Liber turned and left.

Several staff members led everyone to the shore, where a yacht was already waiting.

The candidates boarded the ship, which then began to sail away from the coast toward Sabir Island.

During the event, Kara, acting as the tour guide, announced the upcoming itinerary and the fact that everyone could receive free tickets to directly enter the Hunter Exam venue next year!

Jiang Yan didn't care about this at all, after all, he didn't want to do it a second time.

After glancing at the tense atmosphere among the examinees on the boat, Jiang Yan simply picked up a fishing rod he had prepared beforehand and walked to the stern.

Lake Möbius should have some good ingredients.

Who knows, you might catch some delicious seafood that you can use as an extra meal.

After casting the fishing hook into the sea, Jiang Yan sat on the railing at the stern of the boat, enjoying the sea breeze, which was a rare moment of comfort.

Time slipped away quietly amidst the sound of the waves crashing, and two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
