Chapter 1201: Competitors
It was a girl with scorpion pigtails, sitting not far behind Rhea Gong, looking at the venue with a probing brain, and the bright and clear breath like the sun made people feel good, as if all the gloom would melt in her smile.
This...... Isn't it Mei Rindong?
Although she changed her appearance, she couldn't hide Yu Ling's soul power induction, after all, she was also an acquaintance.
Yu Ling looked at her for a while, until Mei Lindong realized something and glanced suspiciously in his direction, but in the end she found nothing, because Yu Ling was mixed in with a large number of guards, all wearing the same light armor and the same helmet, and there was no difference at all from afar.
I remember that when Huang Santu once tracked down Mei Rindong's news, he said that she ran away on the way to be trafficked and went to the south alone, and has not been seen since.
I just don't know what her relationship is with Rui Yagong now, and I feel that her position is higher than that of the Enlightenment cultivators under Rui Yagong.
Soon Yu Ling understood the reason, only to see a young man with a round face suddenly turn his head and say something to Mei Rindong with a smile, the latter hummed unexpectedly and didn't even look at him.
The young man did not seem to be discouraged, and still tried to find a topic, and looking at the decoration of his robe, it was the son of the Duke of Rheya.
Think about it, Mei Rindong once declared with high morale that he wanted to find a three-point sunny and seven-point handsome ...... What kind of boyfriend, and then look at the rotten peach blossoms she is provoking now, Yuling feels that the world is really full of wonder.
Suddenly catching a glimpse of an old man, his mood also inexplicably relaxed, the Spirit Array Exchange Meeting may really be a good opportunity, not only to observe the situation in the south, but also to have unexpected surprises, after all, most of the old people in the Seventeen Domains will choose to major in the spiritual power system, then coming to the south is their best choice, maybe they will meet more lost friends in the future.
Yu Ling had just swept the seats of the Twelve Grand Dukes, and was about to take a look to see if there were any acquaintances on the side of the liehous, but the palace honor guard had already passed through the venue, and it looked a little strange when he looked back again, so Yu Ling simply followed the flow of people to the highest stand, which was the exclusive seating area of the royal family.
Nan Yanhe lazily sat down in the middle of the position, said a few opening remarks without saltiness, and handed over the rest to the speech group of the formation committee.
There were a total of twenty judges in the entire Spirit Array Exchange Meeting, three from the royal family, one representative from each of the twelve Grand Dukes, and four representatives from the liehous, because they had a well-known formation master under their command, so they were allowed to enter the review meeting.
Finally, there is a highly respected grandmaster-level figure, his name is Xu Yanting, who has dominated the master group champion for a whole hundred years, so he is also known as the "Emperor of the Formation", and then he gradually lost interest in the battle for fame and fortune, and he does not know where to travel, and occasionally returns to the south, although he has never shown his formation attainments, but people still think that he is the first formation master in the south.
In fact, not every Spirit Array Exchange Meeting can invite Xu Yanting, sometimes he doesn't appear for a hundred years, and sometimes he will stay in the south for decades, like these three Spirit Array Exchange Meetings, Xu Yanting will usually attend the venue in the last three rounds of big competitions, even if it is the top figure in the master group, he will be ecstatic to get a comment or two from him.
Yu Ling glanced at the seating area of the review committee, the front position was reserved for Xu Yanting, and it was currently empty, and the other nineteen people were all seated.
Next is the moment when the members of the formation committee read out the rules of the game as usual, the atmosphere of the whole audience was dull, some people looked at the sky in a daze, some people were outside the gods, and some people directly leaned on the chair to close their eyes to recuperate, and even some sat and practiced on the spot.
After listening to it for a few minutes and finding that what the other party said was not as useful as the precautions that Yu Chen gave him, he simply wandered and thought about the formation, after all, he only knew how to arrange the Silent Void Array and the Cloud Fire Falling Star Array, and it was always beneficial to deepen his proficiency a few more times.
After Yuling pushed back and forth in his mind dozens of times, the member of the formation committee finally stopped, "reviewing the achievements of the previous session...... Looking forward to a brilliant future...... Thank you to the heavens and the earth, thank you to the gods and gods, thank you to His Majesty the King of the South, thank you to all the grand dukes, liehous, and uncles for your participation, and thank you for the platform of the Southern Exchange Conference for bringing us together", officially announced the start of the preliminary examination, and let the contestants enter in an orderly manner.
Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although the pre-game speech was really painful, but the rules set by the ancestors could not be easily tampered with, and this kind of ritual thing could never be omitted, so no matter what happened, they had to grit their teeth and carry it.
Yuling even saw that in the corner of the venue, one of the contestants even fell asleep on the table, until the people on his left and right pushed him desperately to let him go to the competition, and this guy finally woke up sleepy-eyed, staggered down the stairs, and almost fell.
In such a contrast, it is really normal for those young people to yawn while doing questions......
So much so that the formation committee was whispering: "Lao Zhang, your hypnotic skills are still as deep as ever, and you fell asleep again this time." ”
", it's clear that this group of people usually don't study well, and they only temporarily crambond at a critical time, you look at it well, those who doze off are definitely all day and night to make up for the foundation of the formation, and the real geniuses must be full of energy!"
"Oh, what happened that His Royal Highness the Prince of the Shang family yawned a few times that day?"
“......”
Huh? Are they talking about Shang Yu?
Yu Ling's gaze swept between the venues, and he happened to see Lin Shu sitting in the corner and writing hard, which was in stark contrast to the group of young people with sad faces next to him.
Shang Yuyu's position was closer to the center, and as the members of the formation committee said, this unlucky prince of the world was holding his chin in one hand and writing unhurriedly with a pen in the other, although he didn't have big dark circles on his face, but anyone could see the feeling of listlessness.
Yu Ling glanced at Tianshang Gong in the distance again, who looked at his son with a gloomy face, unable to tell whether he was worried or irritated in his eyes.
It seems that after Shang Yuyu was sent back, something else happened?
Yu Ling sympathized with him insincerely for two seconds, and then looked at the other contestants. Chu Beiming once mentioned to him a few more powerful competitors, Shang Yuyu needless to say, in addition to the guest Qing under the command of Hai Minggong - Zhen Yao, this is also a formation genius who can occupy a place in the top three, it is said that he began to create his own spirit array at the age of fifteen. In comparison, Hai Minggong's sons seem a little mediocre.
And Shang Yungong's eldest daughter Qu Fuchuan is also a master who is expected to enter the top three, she is wearing a pale yellow dress, her expression is calm, her eyebrows and eyes are delicate, although she is already twenty-five, but a baby face makes her look like seventeen or eighteen years old. Qu Fuchuan and Lin Shu are somewhat similar, they are considered to be partial talents, but they are not as serious as Lin Shu, and Shang Yungong will not treat his daughter badly, even if he uses pills to smash her, her cultivation will be smashed.
In addition, there is His Royal Highness Fu Jirui, the prince of the Rhea family, who is the young man who is not good-looking and tries to chase Mei Rindong into his hands, such an auspicious name with his round face is simply a match made in heaven. However, Fu Jirui's formation attainments are said to be not much inferior to Shang Yuyu, so Rui Yagong has tried his best to get his son into the top three this year.
Yu Ling focused on observing these four people, as for the others, although there are some geniuses with a good level, but there are no geniuses to the point of being almost demonic, and there are very few who can create their own seven-grade spirit arrays, let alone the best of the seven-ranks.
Of course, there is no guarantee that there will be any dark horses this year, so you still have to be careful and leisurely.
The afternoon passed quickly, and the whole written test process was quite boring, some of the teases who came out of nowhere gave up the treatment directly, drew circles on the table, and some were caught cheating halfway, but most of them still did the questions honestly.
So it turns out that the first test is still very necessary, at least 99.99% of the guys who fish in troubled waters can be screened out.
As everyone "handed in the papers" one after another, the preliminary test was finally over before the sun set, Lin Shu walked back to his seat calmly, Nan Yanhe immediately turned his head and asked quietly, "How is it?"
"It's okay, the last question is more difficult, let's transform it on the basis of the Daqian Heng Array, so that its defensive power can reach the level of the Seven-Rank Spirit Array. I don't think I answered very well, after all, the time was a bit rushed. Lin Shu frowned slightly.
"Damn, I haven't been so perverted in previous years, have you?" Nan Yanhe was a little stunned.
"Your Majesty, that's an additional question, I haven't written a word......" Another contestant from the Keqing Mansion couldn't help but say.
"......" Nanyan River Khan.
