Lin Jin happened to notice it as well, mainly because he sensed a strong beast aura from this man. Clearly, the man had cultivated the Beastmaster Scroll to a decent level.
Other than that, Lin Jin noticed a three-ringed beast pattern on the man's sleeves.
Cheating?
That was Lin Jin's first reaction. After a closer look, he was more or less certain of it.
This Rank 3 beast appraiser's knowledge clearly surpassed that of an average Rank 2 beast appraiser. Since he was using a secret code to communicate with Jiang Fengfeng, it went without saying that he was cheating.
This secret code used different combinations of fingers, palms, wrists, and even elbows to transmit different messages. If an experienced person used a secret code, it would be no different from a normal conversation.
Jiang Fengfeng had obviously used this method to cheat.
Now that she had obtained enough information, she looked pleased. She glanced at Tan Lin who was racking her brains, smirked, and began writing.
Lin Jin shook his head.
If that was the case, Tan Lin couldn't possibly win.
No matter how good she was, she couldn't compare to the two of them working together. It was just a beast appraisal competition but the other party had resorted to a dirty trick like cheating. How shameful was that?
Tan Lin was so focused that she didn't notice it at all.
After some thought, Lin Jin decided to help her. Although he couldn't touch the feather that was hovering in the air, with his current knowledge, he could tell quite a lot just by looking at it.
At least, he was much better than the Rank 3 beast appraiser who helped Jiang Fengfeng cheat.
After all, Lin Jin had the Museum of Deadly Beasts behind him. His long years of practice had allowed him to reach a high standard in beast appraising. Lin Jin had a rough idea of the feather's origin. Most people would assume that feathers belonged to birds, but that wasn't the case. It all depended on the feather's specific condition.
Take this feather for example. The feather was thick, long, and tough. Although the tassel was colorful, the arrangement of colors was very particular. After all, the colors on a beast's body weren't random.
Taking a closer look, the feather was hollow, more like some kind of tough and pliable bone. It was very different from the feathers of ordinary birds. Although he couldn't touch it from afar and couldn't tell its weight, Lin Jin deduced that it was quite heavy.
Based on that, there was a high chance that it wasn't a bird's feather.
Coincidentally, there were similar beasts with similar feathers in Lin Jin's museum. After a quick comparison, Lin Jin came to a conclusion.
Although his conclusion might not be accurate, it was the closest one. At the very least, Lin Jin was confident that it would be more accurate than the white-robed Rank 3 beast appraiser's.
The next step was how to pass it to Tan Lin.
If the other party cheated, Tan Lin could do the same.
Lin Jin was reminded of a spell known as Telepathy in ancient times. Lin Jin had only stayed at Daluo Temple for three days when he heard about it from the abbot. Daluo Temple had a thousand-year heritage and they had preserved many cultivation, martial arts, spells, and supernatural powers. Telepathy was one of them.
Back then, Master Abbot had explained the theory and Lin Jin had occasionally studied it himself. To put it bluntly, this was a type of spell that didn't require much practice. As long as one had enough mana, they could perform it.
Coincidentally, Lin Jin had enough mana.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at Tan Lin and opened his mouth slightly. However, even Li Xinqi who was closest to him couldn't hear what Lin Jin was saying.
However, it was different for Tan Lin.
She was almost done and was ready to hand it in, but at this moment, a voice suddenly rang in her ear.
"Tan Lin, don't move when you hear me. I'm Lin Jin!"
Tan Lin was indeed startled. However, she had a strong state of mind after all. Despite her shock, she managed to suppress her emotions so that she wouldn't scream or do anything unnecessary.
She immediately looked up and soon, she spotted Lin Jin among the crowd outside.
Tan Lin was clearly overjoyed but also in disbelief. She probably didn't expect to meet him here.
Lin Jin nodded in acknowledgment before transmitting his voice to Tan Lin, informing her of the current situation.
When she heard that Jiang Fengfeng was cheating, Tan Lin was furious.
"She actually did this just to win against me." Tan Lin's first reaction was to report Jiang Fengfeng. However, Lin Jin's voice suddenly came.
"Don't even think about reporting her. They're using code. If you can't find any evidence, they might even come back to bite you." Lin Jin's words calmed Tan Lin down.
That was right.
Since Jiang Fengfeng dared to cheat in this place, she must have thought of a countermeasure. Moreover, it was indeed difficult to catch her using code words. Besides, Jiang Fengfeng was not an ordinary person. She was a local of Tianxuan Nation, and her family was in Tianxuan City. She was very influential.
Among the crowd, there must be quite a number of people on her side. If Tan Lin were to report Jiang Fengfeng carelessly, she would most likely come back to bite her.
Tan Lin felt despair. She was confident that she would have the upper hand if she were to compete with Jiang Fengfeng. But if Jiang Fengfeng were to cheat, things would be different.
Just then, Lin Jin's voice made Tan Lin's heart skip a beat.
"If she can cheat, so can you."
'That's right. '
Tan Lin mused. Since this competition was already unfair, there was no need to abide by the so-called rules. Just like Lin Jin said, if Jiang Fengfeng could cheat, why couldn't she?
But here came the problem. She wasn't prepared so she couldn't cheat even if she wanted to.
Just as Tan Lin was fretting, Lin Jin's voice came again.
"Five-colored feather. Look at the stem of the feather, the hollow is as tough as bone, the feather roots are as long as chopsticks, and the feather tassels are heavy. The five colors of the feathers of birds are red, yellow, blue, white, and black. According to the Scripture of Ten Thousand Beasts, the crown feathers of the Wood Element Swift Dragon Beasts of the Southern Border are five-colored, and the arrangement varies according to the age of the beast. According to the current arrangement, this feather should belong to a Wood Element Swift Dragon Beast of the Southern Continent that is above seventy years old. That's right, this is a male.
When Lin Jin finished speaking, Tan Lin was stunned for a moment before coming to a realization.
Lin Jin was helping her.
Helping her cheat.
Although Tan Lin didn't like cheating, she had no choice but to do so given the circumstances.
However, Lin Jin's appraisal result was very different from hers.
She had already written down that this feather belonged to a special kind of bird. It was the feather of a large bird monster that lived in the Central Continent. It was incredibly difficult to determine the origin of a bird based on a single feather. After all, there were too many beasts with feathers. What she wrote down was the result of careful consideration.
However, she chose to believe Lin Jin without hesitation.
Because she knew very well that Lin Jin was much better than her when it came to beast appraising.
Tan Lin immediately revised the evaluation report anxiously and rewrote it. This was her first time cheating so she was nervous. But in terms of cheating method, Lin Jin's method was much more secretive.
Right, how did Lin Jin's voice reach her?
Why couldn't anyone else hear him?
