263 entered the semifinals
Zhang Ke's preliminary competition attracted a burst of applause from the audience, and many viewers clapped their hands.
I saw that he didn't have to look at those herbs at all, and with a light sniff, he could know the name, origin and even year of those herbs.
Such a superb skill in identifying herbs was something that the other dragon doctors present could not achieve at all. Even though there were still a few eighth-level dragon doctors who appeared next, their demeanor when identifying herbs was not as calm as Zhang Ke's. In terms of the number of herbs identified, Zhang Ke identified 130 kinds of herbs within five minutes, which is even more than the group of doctors. As for the other eighth-level dragon doctors, the most of them only identified one hundred and three herbs in five minutes.
Obviously, at least in the area of identifying herbs, they are all inferior to Zhang Ke.
While everyone was applauding Zhang Ke, Xue Yi was sneering.
When the few people who opened the way for Zhang Ke just saw it, their hearts were on fire, they glared at Xue Yi, as if they were going to eat Xue Yi, and asked, "Boy, what are you laughing at?"
When these people opened the way for Zhang Ke just now, they grabbed the people around them and threw them aside, which made Xue Yi very unhappy with such arrogance.
So he didn't pay any attention to them.
Seeing Xue Yi's attitude, those people were even more angry in their hearts, and the person who had suffered a secret loss in front of Xue Yi just now should come over.
But at this time, the name of the thunder domain was called on the stage, Xue Yi sneered and walked up slowly.
When those people saw that Xue Yi was also a dragon doctor, they were stunned at first, and then sneered.
This kid, at such a young age, even pretended to be a dragon doctor, is this going up to embarrass people?
And in the stands. Shang Ruoshui's little sister saw Xue Yi appear, and hurriedly shook Shang Ruoshui's hand: "Second sister, second sister, second brother-in-law has appeared." I don't know what the strength of the second brother-in-law is. But judging by his calm appearance, it should be fine, right?"
Shang Ruoshui watched Xue Yi come to the stage, and there was a slight light in his eyes: "I haven't seen the true strength of the Thunder Dragon Doctor with my own eyes, but I've heard people talk about it in the Thunder Dragon Empire, and I also want to see it." β
Xue Yi's gaze didn't look away, but kept looking at the three judges sitting on the high place. The three ninth-level badges of the three ninth-level dragon doctors shone brightly on their chests. This is the first time in Xue Yi's life that he has seen a ninth-level dragon doctor. Actually, these three people. is what Xue Yi wants to challenge the most.
When the three of them saw Xue Yi's eyes, their eyes were cold and unkind, and the three of them frowned slightly.
Youngster. The anger is too strong - one of the judges said secretly in his heart.
Too arrogant to be desirable - thought another judge.
Did he want to challenge usβThe third judge thought to himself, but then he was amused by his own thoughts. Judging from this kid's arrogance, there should be some small skills. But he didn't wear the dragon doctor's badge. It's supposed to be just an unregistered dragon doctor. How could he possibly challenge us at such a level, unless he took the medicine he had prescribed for the dragon himself.
Next to Xue Yi were several fifth- and sixth-level dragon doctors wearing badges, and they all looked disdainful when they saw Xue Yi so young.
Xue Yi didn't pay attention to them at all, took his seat, and the game began.
Although the three judges were a little disdainful of Xue Yi, for some reason, all three of them set their eyes on Xue Yi. Maybe it's because of the cold aura on Xue Yi's body.
The waiters brought up plates, each with an herb in it.
Those sixth-level dragon doctors only glanced at it. Then he said the name of the herb, and the fifth-level dragon doctors also looked at it for a while. The name was spoken.
The three judges all nodded secretly, and finally set their eyes on Xue Yi.
I saw Xue Yi pick up the herb and look at it carefully, looking at the flowers, the leaves, the stems, and the roots. Then he took it to his nose and sniffed it, and finally even gently bit down on a leaf and chewed it. Only then did he speak slowly: "Seven Spirit Guts." β
The next time the audience saw it, they were in an uproar.
"Is it still necessary to identify such a common herb as the Seven Spirit Gall for so long? β
"That is, the Seven Spirit Gall is a very common herb, as long as there is a dragon knight, basically there will always be such an herb. β
"This kid is too good at pretending. But that's a bit of a stretch, isn't it?"
"By the way, do you need to install this dragon doctor competition?"
When the three judges saw it, they all laughed secretly, this kid seems to be here to show his appearance.
At this time, almost everyone was not very optimistic about Xue Yi, such a foreign-looking kid would be good if he could identify a dozen or so kinds.
The game continued, and as the game progressed, some people were already starting to lose their ability to identify the herbs.
Those fifth- and sixth-level dragon doctors still looked confident, and they could identify the herbs with just two glances. Within four minutes, more than 70 herbs had been identified.
And Xue Yi, who was the least favored, had to look, sniff, and chew every herb, and it took so much time to identify more than fifty kinds of herbs.
This surprised those who looked down on him a little.
Generally speaking, those young dragon doctors under the age of thirty can recognize more than forty kinds at most, which is already the limit. It's really surprising that this kid can recognize so many kinds of them in such a pretend.
Finally, when the five minutes were up, those who looked down on Xue Yi before were all wide-eyed at this time.
Of the other nine people who competed with Xue Yi, six of them identified no more than fifty kinds of herbs, and those three sixth-level dragon doctors all identified about a hundred. And Xue Yi, who seemed to have been wasting time, was surprised to identify one hundred and seven.
This result was a big surprise to everyone.
In their opinion, Xue Yi's kind of pretense is simply a waste of time, such a waste of time, it is good to be able to reach sixty or seventy kinds, but I didn't expect him to be able to reach a hundred, how can you do this?
Shangfu's father and mother were amazed when they saw that Xue Yi had really identified a hundred kinds.
Before, they didn't quite believe that Xue Yi was an eighth-level dragon doctor, but now, they had at least half of it.
Shang Ruoshui's third sister clapped her hands and shouted, "I didn't expect the second brother-in-law to really have such a ability, it's really unexpected." It's just his pretentious appearance. It's really unpleasant. β
Only those three judges noticed one detail. It is this detail that allows Xue Yi, who doesn't seem to be fast, to reach hundreds in the end.
That detail is. Among the one hundred and seven herbs that Xue Yi identified, there was not a single one he didn't recognize.
In other words, Xue Yi saw one hundred and seven kinds, and knew one hundred and seven kinds. And the others, including those sixth-level dragon doctors, all had herbs that they didn't know. This is also the reason why Xue Yi was able to catch up with these sixth-level dragon doctors in the end.
At this time, the three judges had already begun to pay some attention to Xue Yi.
You must know that in the previous competition, only that eighth-level dragon doctor Zhang Ke identified all the herbs in front of him within five minutes. Even a few other eighth-level dragon doctors. There are also a few that I don't know.
This kid really has some ability.
At this time, Zhang Ke, who was already sitting on the sidelines watching the game, glanced at Xue Yi slightly. After that, they stopped paying attention to him.
In Zhang Ke's opinion, Xue Yi does have some ability, but he can't reach the height that can challenge him.
In the end, on the first day of the preliminary round, a total of 50 people entered the semi-finals. Xue Yi ranked twenty-first among these people. Not high, not low.
Back in Shangfu, Shang's father and mother and Shang Ruoshui's sisters were all impressed by Xue Yi.
"Brother-in-law, I didn't expect you to really have such a skill. Shang Ruoshui's little sister excitedly revolved around Xue Yi, patting Xue Yi here and there, just like looking at a rare baby.
Shang's father and mother also praised Xue Yi again and again. Although the cold temperament on Xue Yi's body makes people feel very uncomfortable, he is really capable. And there is nothing strange about the ability of people who have the ability to have eccentric personalities.
This made them have a lot more affection for Xue Yi.
Shang Ruoshui's eldest sister also glanced at Xue Yi slightly shyly. Although he didn't speak, everyone could see the kind of identification with Xue Yi in his eyes.
Shang Ruoshui can be regarded as convincing to everyone at this time. said: "I said a long time ago, Lei Ba's strength, that's not blown out, eighth-level dragon doctor, can it still be fake?"
When everyone in Shangfu heard this, they all paused slightly.
They did see Xue Yi's ability, which was very powerful, but it was still difficult to believe that he was an eighth-level dragon doctor.
Xue Yi didn't have the slightest discomfort about these, he had already thought of it.
At the same time, in a luxury inn, three ninth-level dragon doctors who were judges were sitting in a room.
"This first round of the competition is over, everyone talks, which dragon doctors do you think are the most likely to get the rankings, which dragon doctors have the most potential, and which dragon doctors are the most impressive?" said the ninth-level dragon doctor who seemed to have the least beard and hair.
The other two ninth-level dragon doctors glanced at each other, and then one of the ninth-level dragon doctors said: "I don't know who is most likely to achieve the ranking, and I don't know who has the most potential, but if you want to say the most impressive, I think there is only one person......"
"Minefield. Before the ninth-level dragon doctor could finish speaking, another person spoke.
"That's right, that kid has a very strange feeling. He could easily recognize the herbs, but he still had to deliberately pretend. If it weren't for pretending to be a waste of time, with his strength, he would be able to identify more than one hundred and fifty kinds in at least five minutes. β
"More than Zhang Ke!" A dragon doctor was a little surprised, "I don't know if I don't analyze it, this analysis, this kid is really surprising." β
"Zhang Ke, I'm afraid I've met my opponent this time. The ninth-level dragon doctor with the least beard and hair smiled bitterly.
But what impresses him the most is not his strength, but his cold temperament. A ninth-level dragon doctor said, "His temperament is not something he deliberately wants to exude, but it seems to be innate." And it's not just that he's cold, but when he walks past the stage, I really feel that the temperature seems to have dropped. β
Saying this, the three of them all felt that Xue Yi was a little weird, and they all fell silent immediately.
In the end, a dragon doctor broke the silence: "Don't care, it's probably just that we think too much, he is young, even if he has some ability, he will not exceed level five, and Zhang Ke is an eighth-level dragon doctor, this time the champion is none other than Zhang Ke." β
"Alas......" the ninth-level dragon doctor with the least beard and hair sighed, "I hope so." (To be continued......)
