Chapter 27: The Four Great Families

With the sound of the jade plaque on the chest of the contestants, the second round of the selection competition finally came to an end.

"Shali, Shali, look this way!"

The sound of heaven deep in the soul sounds. Sha Li suddenly raised his head and glanced towards the edge of the venue, only to see rows of viewing areas, arranged upwards layer by layer.

"Triumphant!"

Sha Li recognized at a glance the girl who was waving to him, and there was a man standing on the left and right of the girl.

One of them was dark-skinned, and the other was shaking his folding fan, but it was Zhi and Rosso, and they both waved to him.

Sha Libei was about to walk over and talk to them.

"Boom!"

The dull roar and vibration made everyone in the audience focus on the huge stone monument that soared into the sky.

I saw that the huge monument, which had originally reached the sky, was slowly descending at this moment, and did not stop until it was about a foot high from the square where the contestants were standing.

A majestic-looking man stood on a platform on a stone monument and looked down at the contestants in the audience.

"It's Captain Yan Cangji! I didn't expect him to preside over the third round of the selection competition. ”

"Yan Cangji, is that one of the two captains of the West Defense Region of the island?" Hearing the crowd's discussions, Sha Li also remembered some heavyweight high-level island guards that Kai Feng had told him.

"Congratulations to all of you who have passed the second round of the selection round. ”

"I will announce the assessment of the third round of the selection competition. If there is something that the people present do not understand, they can ask questions at the appropriate time. Yan Cangji's voice was low but full of majesty, and the noise in the venue was calmed down in an instant.

"The third round of selection is conducted on a point system, and all participants will be judged as long as they can earn a certain number of points and take a small enough time to rank in the top 1,000. ”

"Captain Yan, where did you get this point?"

"That's a good question. The white number plate in your hand is the point chip for the third round of assessment. ”

"Your own number plate is worth two points, and the number plate in the hands of others is worth one point, as long as you accumulate three points, you can meet the points conditions of the assessment. ”

"According to what you mean, this third round of assessment is actually a snatch of number plates?"

"Exactly!"

Listening to Yan Cangji's questions and answers with several contestants, although a small number of contestants were talking in whispers in the venue, most of them were silent.

"Captain Yan, if your number plate is taken away and then recaptured by yourself, will the number plate points at this time be counted as one point or two points?"

After listening to Shali's questioning, everyone stopped talking now, because this is indeed a question worth studying. If you don't count your own anymore, it means that if your own number plate is taken away, you have to grab three more number plates to clear the customs.

Yan Cangji glanced at Sha Li.

"The number plate you have now is two points, and if you can take it back after being taken away, it will naturally count as two points. The premise is ......"

Yan Cangji paused and continued, "You have to have the ability to take it back. ”

It may be because of various accidents that your own number plate was taken, but in the final analysis, the opponent's strength is very likely to be stronger than your own, and it is not easy to take it back.

"Captain Yan, I have a question. What if the final number plate in your hand has more than three points?"

The person who asked was a man who looked like a scholar wearing a jade brocade hat, and Sha Li glanced at him, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Yan Cangji stared at the scholar-looking interrogating man, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was a little heavier than before.

"The ultimate goal of this island guard selection competition is to increase the number of talented and potential island defenders. If anyone breaks this basic bottom line, they will be punished and disqualified. ”

Yan Cangji's cold tiger eyes swept across the audience, and all the contestants felt their chests sink.

"So, I advise you not to do anything superfluous. ”

Then his expression eased, and he said leisurely: "If the number points in your hand reach three points, and the notch on the side of the number plate is embedded together, the teleportation array will be triggered and you will be taken away from the examination room, and the assessment will be completed." Do you understand everything?"

"Understood!"

Although they have their own thoughts, under the majesty of the captain of the island guard, the attitude of the contestants still has to be there, at least on the surface.

Yan Cangji nodded and was about to announce the start of the third round of trials, but he heard a sudden commotion in the viewing area on the sidelines, and everyone's eyes gathered at the entrance of the viewing area.

I saw the figure of a purple-robed man slowly appearing from the entrance of the venue, his steps were very calm, his figure was majestic, and his eyes were like electricity.

He was followed by a big man in a green robe, although his figure was not as majestic as his, but he was also tall and straight.

"Great Priest, Dutong, please here. ”

A middle-aged man dressed in an island guard costume greeted the two of them, speaking in a respectful tone.

"Su Wen, go and get busy with you, we'll go over on our own. ”

Although the man in the green robe spoke lightly, he had an unquestionable command.

"Yes. The seats of the Grand Priest and the Metropolitan are set up at the first table in the first area. ”

The purple-robed man nodded slightly, and went first. The man in the green robe explained a few words to the island guards who came to greet him, and then followed the man in purple.

The area where they are seated is the part of the ring that extends forward from the infield closest to the contestants. In normal times, this area is closed, and only on a solemn day like today's will it be placed.

"Su asked, could he be Yan Su asked?" Wang Wuhai asked himself softly.

"That's right, he is Yan Suwen, the commander of the eastern defense area of the island. Yan Jihui seemed to be answering Wang Wuhai's doubts.

"From this point of view, those two people, nine times out of ten, are Yan Qingmu, the commander of the island guard, and Yan Zixiao, the chief secretary of the Sikou Academy. ”

"What? The middle-aged man in the green robe is the father of Zhi Yu?" Sha Li turned around and looked at Yan Jihui, his eyes shining slightly. Obviously, for the strict father who was heavily in awe, Sha Li had long wanted to meet him.

"Exactly. And the middle-aged man in the purple robe is the uncle of Zhi. Yan Jihui's eyes showed excitement that Sha Li had never seen before, and even a little bit of anticipation.

Sha Li looked at the two men in the viewing area and pinched his chin.

"It's a family, so it looks like it, and it's quite similar to the chief. ”

"Su Wen has seen Da Situ. ”

Hearing Yan Suwen greet people again, Sha Li turned his gaze back to the direction of the entrance of the viewing area.

"Who is this?"

The man who was bowed down by Yan Suwen stretched out his hand to help Yan Suwen, with a smile on his face: "Su Wen doesn't need to be polite, and he is not an outsider, so he doesn't need to be so polite." ”

The man who spoke had a long gray beard, and on the right side of his face, two slender scars ran across the base of his nose and eyelids, reaching the corners of his eyes. The demeanor between the words is very friendly, and I can't see the style of the big man at all.

"Yes, your seat is already arranged, please come with me. ”

"In this case, then it will be tiring, hehe. ”

Yan Suwen nodded, as if unintentionally, he glanced at the black-clothed entourage beside the long-bearded man, and led the way first.

"Hahaha, am I not the last to arrive? Didn't I even make it to the start of qualifying?"

A hearty and rugged voice echoed throughout the venue, and everyone speculated about who had arrived.

But I saw the long-bearded man shaking his head slightly, and complained to Yan Suwen helplessly.

"When will this guy learn to do some etiquette. ”

Before Yan Su could answer the question, the owner of the hearty voice had already arrived at the long-bearded man's side.

"Lishu, this thing is a deceptive trick played by your old pedant, and you can't eat it, you say yes, Su asked my brother, haha!"

Yan Suwen was about to reply, a fat palm was already slapped on his shoulder, and he was unlucky to resist, so he had no choice but to suffer the pain.

"Da Sikong, since you have arrived, let's sit down with Da Situ. ”

Yan Suwen looked at the yellow-robed man with one hand on his shoulder with his nose like a hanging gall, and his face was white and fat, and his posture was also very respectful.

"Let's go, take a seat, but let's say it first, I won't sit with this old pedant, otherwise I won't be able to spare you for asking my brother, hahaha. ”

As he spoke, the yellow-robed man walked to the first area with a group of entourage, and sat down directly next to the table of the Yan family brothers.

Seeing this, the long-bearded man had to shake his head helplessly.

"Just ask, I went over myself, and you are busy. ”

Yan Suwen was stunned for a moment, and then had to agree.

"In this way, Su Wen is not well entertained. ”

"Da Situ, Da Sikong, what are these two people doing?"

Sha Li asked a few people around him.

"Da Situ Luo Siyu, who is in charge of civil affairs, education, sacrifices, etc., is the formulator, inheritor and reviser of various rules and regulations on the island. ”

At the same time, he is also the supreme person in charge of the various ancient books and secret scrolls on the island, and the secret pavilion where the secret scrolls on the island are stored is under his control. ”

"In this way, he is really a pedant!" After listening to Wang Wuhai's introduction, Sha Li nodded lightly, but such a sentence floated out.

"Haha, Brother Sha, don't let those scholars on the island listen to this, otherwise they will let them know that you are making such a joke about their masters, and you will not be spared. ”

"It's not me who calls it, isn't that the fat white man in the yellow robe called it the same way?"

After hearing Sha Li's words, Wang Wuhai's expression was a little weird, and his eyes were a little wandering.

He ...... He's not like you. ”

Sha Li remembered something when he saw this.

"Brother Wang, am I making it difficult for you? ”

"Brother Sha doesn't have to care, the Great Sikong King Wanzhu is indeed the patriarch of my Wang family. ”

Wang Wuhai glanced at Sha Li and sighed slightly.

"He is in charge of the construction of various fortifications and the mining of minerals on the island. Almost all the things used for cultivation and life are produced by the Wang family. ”

"No wonder. ”

Sha Li looked at Wang Wanzhun's rich body and nodded heavily.

"Oh, are you all there? It seems that the old decay is really the latest!"

With this sudden sound, a figure fell from the sky, and finally sat down at the round table between Luo Siyu and Wang Wanzhu.

"Fly in the sky! Return to the Yuan Realm!"

Sha Li looked at the gray-clothed old man with a white beard and was shocked in his heart, after all, this was the first Yuan man he had ever seen who could fly through the sky.

The old man seemed to feel something, and his gaze swept lightly in the direction where Sha Li was, and then quickly moved away.

Sha Li was stunned for a moment.

"Probably not looking at me."

"I've seen Crane Lao!"

The patriarchs of the three major families all stood up and bowed to the gray-clothed old man who was seated.

"Excuse me. You dolls are really, don't you think I'm dying fast enough, tormenting me so much. ”

The old man's face was full of seriousness, and the three patriarchs looked embarrassed.

"Alright, let's all sit down. It's been a long time since a few of us arrived, so let's move on to the tryouts. ”

The old man waved his hand casually as he spoke, and the three team leaders could only sit down as they wished.

Yan Qingmu beckoned to Yan Cangji on the high platform.

"Let's get started!"

Yan Cangji nodded in understanding.

"The third round of tryouts is now open, contestants, please enter!"

As his words fell, a teleportation array lit up on the huge stone stele he was standing on.
