The assistant lit the timing incense for Li Siyu again, and for the rest of the time, Li Siyu continued to recite at a slow pace until the remaining little incense was burned.

And Li Siyu only memorized the second half of the third volume, but unfortunately the rules do not distinguish between the length of the book, even if it is impossible to memorize a stick of incense, you must count it as not finished. The assistant cut off a third of Li Siyu's next incense.

At this point, the first round of the "Wen" character competition ended.

In the first round, although Lan Shuang, who was the first to start, completed the recitation of the full text of a book, because she raised her hand twice and made two mistakes, only the last third of the pillar incense remained, so the situation was the most unfavorable for her.

The Xiyue racer and the Beiling racer each completed the recitation of a book, and no mistakes were found by others, nor did they raise their hands to point out the mistakes of others, so if the later games are stable, it should be the most advantageous.

Nan Yizong Jingliang was eliminated, although Li Siyu was not found wrong by others, but because he did not complete the recitation, the situation was better than Lan Shuang.

The other racers in Dongning and Yanling were secretly worried about their teammates, while the racers in Xiyue and Beiling had a slight smug look on their faces.

Sima Hongyan analyzed the situation off the field and said to several sisters: "We didn't have an advantage in the first round, but fortunately, Li Siyu was clever and played a little trick. Eliminating one also puts the other on the verge of elimination. It's a pity, but it's a good result to be able to get it. Whoever is the first in the second round will depend on who has the better luck. ”

Zhong Liying said: "Eldest sister, I think this kind of competition method is a bit unfair. If it goes on like this, if the racers of Xiyue and Beiling do not make mistakes, no matter who starts first, the winner who can complete the three books first will either Xiyue or Beiling. Then this game is not about ability, but about luck! ”

Hearing Zhong Liying's reasoning, Ban Lingruo also echoed: "I think the same thing as the fourth sister, I guess Xiyue and Beiling also think the same." ”

Shi Jinyan said to the two of them: "Don't talk about the two of you, it is estimated that the entire audience has this opinion." But this is not absolute, and there is one thing I want to explain to you. In fact, no one can memorize all the famous books in the world, even if they are bookworm Li Siyu! ”

Ban Lingruo was very puzzled and asked, "Didn't you praise Li Siyu for his profound literature just now, why did you say that he couldn't do it at this time?" ”

Shi Jinyan smiled helplessly and said, "Silly sister, how many things can a person remember in his head?" Even if Li Siyu loves books as much as his life, can he really remember all the books he has read in his head? Yanling has a history of more than 500 years, how many masterpieces will appear in these hundreds of years? If you say that you have read it all, it is no problem, but if you can write it down, I am afraid that the gods will not be able to do it! ”

Xiao Hongying interjected: "That's not right! As she spoke, she pointed to the four people in the arena and said, "Just now, those people were able to memorize the books they had chosen, and they didn't say a word. You can't fake that! ”

Shi Jinyan was about to speak, but Sima Hongyan spoke first: "I'll explain this question!" In fact, the so-called competition is not a complete competition of a single content. For example, this first competition, on the surface, is a competition for literature, but in fact, it is secretly a competition for many other abilities. ”

Speaking of this, Sima Hongyan stopped and looked at the three younger sisters and Xiao Hongying, who looked dazed. His gaze paused on everyone's face for a moment before he continued: "Actually, these so-called other abilities, I also want to give you special instructions to pay attention to!" Because in the future, whether it is the Red Face Army or anything you encounter, these abilities may become the key to your victory! ”

Xiao Hongying was surprised: "What kind of ability is so powerful?" ”

Sima Hongyan smiled and said: "It's not uncommon to say it, that is, the mind, the reaction, the mentality, and the ability to act." And finally, one more factor beyond our control, luck! ”

Seeing that the preparations for the second round of the competition were still being prepared in the field, Sima Hongyan said: "We have witnessed the process of the first round of the competition, and each of you should find that the opponents of these five countries are competing with their minds and strategies all the time. Reading is only a prerequisite for participating in this competition, and winning or losing is the ability I just mentioned!

You need to have a lot of knowledge to memorize the text, and at the same time you can spot other people's mistakes. If you haven't read so many books, how can you find out even if someone says something wrong? It's all about the brain!

According to Jin Yan, Zong Jingliang became famous in his early years, he was a genius, and he endorsed very quickly, but Li Siyu could still find two mistakes in a row, which shows that Li Siyu is not only familiar with the article, but also has a quick response. If he hadn't reacted immediately and pointed out Zong Jingliang's mistake, he would probably have been taken by Zong Jingliang.

Although Li Siyu is now at a disadvantage, he calmly analyzed the situation on the premise that he knew that he could not complete it just now, and also set a trap for others, which shows that he is extremely calm, and through the speculation of the opponent's mentality, he can judge the situation and adapt to the situation, which can be regarded as a concentrated manifestation of mentality and action.

Of course, even if he did well, there was one thing he couldn't control, and that was luck. You see, the presiding officer is about to blindly select the first player in the second round, and none of us know what will happen in the next moment. But I don't think anyone's luck will always be good or bad. Until the last minute, no one can predict winning or losing. At this time, it is enough for us to maintain our trust in Li Siyu! What do you think? ”

As soon as Sima Hongyan finished speaking, before the sisters could answer, her attention was attracted by the audience.

At this moment, the presiding officer just threw out the stone that he had decided, and Sima Hongyan's eyes flew into the sky with the stone. The stone fell to the ground and rolled a few times, stopping in the area of the North Spirit.

In the second round of the competition, the North Spirit racers started first. At this time, the assistant of the five countries took back all the books that were placed in the middle of the first round and replaced them with a new batch of books. It can be seen that Yanling has achieved the highest rigor of the competition.

The tense game continued under the attention of everyone, and Sima Hongyan and the others didn't care about talking, they all stopped and continued to watch the game.

Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the second round, it once again caused a sensation in the audience.

Originally, the first round of the second round was started by the Beiling racer, which was extremely beneficial to the Beiling. What I didn't expect was that after the Beiling Racer chose the book, he was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I won't know this book, I will give up!" ”

Not only was the audience shocked, but there was a sigh in the Beiling Hou war zone, and the Beiling racers were extremely disappointed.

Seeing this result, Shi Jinyan smiled and said, "Hongyan is right!" Without a broad literary background, it is really impossible to say whether the luck will be good or bad! ”

Xiao Hongying looked at Sima Hongyan with admiration at this time, and said with admiration: "Sister Hongyan, you are really amazing." It seems that what you just said is true! ”

Hearing Xiao Hongying's words, Sima Hongyan was about to laugh, but he reacted instantly, his face sank, and he said angrily: "Listen to what you mean, you didn't believe what I said just now?" ”

Xiao Hongying stuck out her tongue and smiled, and said vaguely: "I don't believe it all, I just think what you said is a bit mysterious!" ”

Because the Northern Spirit racer gave up automatically, the care was also cut off by one-third of the pillar incense. Next, it was the turn of Yanling Li Siyu again.

Li Siyu maintained his previous emotion and expressionlessness, and threw the stone without hesitation. Maybe it was really his bad luck that he chose an obscure Buddhist scripture.

Although Ban Lingruo doesn't read as much as poetry, he also knows that it is difficult to read Buddhist scriptures, not to mention memorizing them, he can't help but complain: "Li Siyu's luck is really bad, why is it difficult to read what book to choose?" ”

On the contrary, Shi Jinyan was calm about this result, she said: "For Li Siyu, this may be a good thing. As far as I know, Li Siyu has always advocated Buddhism and has read many Buddhist scriptures. And the one he chose is very famous, I don't think it will be difficult for him. What's more, his opponent is not necessarily familiar with Buddhist scriptures, so the odds of winning are still very good. ”
