Chapter 215: Choice
"Phantom Ice King Luo Yun!?"
The image of the old man with a bloodless face, a cold expression, and azure blue hair suddenly appeared in the young man's mind. Having been in contact with the Ice Clan several times, he knew very well the source of this coldness.
Thinking of the ice and snow forest that devoured countless lives in the city of the concubine king, the young man only felt that his hands and feet were as cold and numb as a cold soak, and beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down his cheeks. If that happens in the capital, I don't know how many innocent people will be implicated. Moreover, more than 20 people from the Yang family, such as grandfather, second uncle, and Luneng, all made a special trip to the national capital to cheer for the competition. He must not allow his loved ones to be harmed again.
The young man didn't dare to move lightly, staring at those cold eyes, and said secretly in his heart: "This gaze is very similar to Luo Yun, the king of phantom ice, could it be that he really arrived in the capital of Wuyue Country? No, no." I remember that Shichan said that although there was no strict age limit for this rune array selection conference, for the sake of fairness, an enchantment was laid around the venue to prevent those who were too high-level rune masters from participating. No matter how you say it, the Phantom Ice King is also a rune array master above level six, and it is impossible to enter the venue. Moreover, although the fifth-level rune array scroll was precious, a master of his level would not have taken a big risk to sneak into the venue for this. It's just that this feeling is too real, maybe it's really him...... No! That mysterious organization may be carrying out some kind of conspiracy in the national capital!" The young man suddenly had an ominous premonition as he thought about it. The reason why the powerful Phantom Ice King wanted to participate in the rune array selection meeting was not simply to capture the fifth-level rune array scroll, then there was only one explanation: "It is to restrain the actions of the white-robed Venerable Feng Zhong at a certain moment!!"
Come to think of it. The young man's hands gradually clenched unconsciously, trying to clear his mind and think about countermeasures: "In the current situation where Zhang Lao, Yu Jiu and Tong Xuan are not there, if you really need to fight against the Phantom Ice King, maybe only Ren Xue can restrain him." However, Ren Xue didn't know much about the rune array, if it was really difficult to get rid of the high-level rune array, what should he do then?"
"Yang Rui, what are you doing standing there?" In a moment of surprise, the silver bell-like voice of the little Xuannu suddenly sounded in his ears. It turned out that the two girls noticed that the young man's expression was wrong, and they all turned around and gathered. The young man woke up like a dream, his expression was slightly calm, and he motioned to the two of them not to make a sound, and then turned his head to look. The black-cloaked figure had vanished from the pillar. And that cold feeling is gone.
"Forget it, it's useless to think about it again. The only way to do this now is to explore the water and cross the river, and see one step at a time!"
With a slight groan, the boy pulled the two girls to an unobtrusive back corner and hid them. Observe with your own eyes. I saw that some of the players who had just passed the test were sitting in the main hall to rest. Some walk around and watch. For a moment, it was hard to read. After a long breath, he turned to the two women and said, "We are being monitored, and the other party may be Luo Yun, the Phantom Ice King of the Ice Clan." β
"What?!" the little girl almost screamed when she heard this. She and the white fox girl were both in the palace at that time. So I know very well the horror of this enemy. The Phantom Ice King is not only a sixth-level rune array master, but even his cultivation has reached the peak of the Divine Gate Realm. If it weren't for Zhang Laoqiao's plan that time, I'm afraid it would be really difficult to get rid of the combined attack between him and Yu Wufeng.
Seeing this, the young man quickly pulled him over and covered his mouth. After looking around to see if anyone was paying attention, he turned his head and whispered, "Don't be silent, it's not 100% sure yet." And he's in the crowd now, even I can't tell the difference!"
The white fox girl was suspicious: "That Phantom Ice King is already a very good rune array master, why did he still come to participate in the selection meeting of the rune array master of the Wuyue Kingdom?" The young man said: "This is exactly what I want to figure out now, but I am afraid that the mysterious organization is making trouble behind it." After meditating for a while, he said, "The situation here is quite strange, and I can't think of what the mysterious organization will do next. The two of you will find an opportunity to leave the venue and report to Princess Lingyi and Shizen respectively, so that they can take precautions. It happened suddenly, and it was difficult to take care of it comprehensively. There are 100,000 forbidden troops on the royal side, and I don't think it will be attacked. After reporting the news, little Xuannu, you and the Silver Armored Corpse King please stay in the Yang Family Courtyard before the end of the selection meeting, and protect Grandpa and them for me. Sister Ren Xue, there is an enchantment prohibition in this venue that cannot be sneaked and stranded, you can accompany Shichan to deal with emergencies. β
The two girls nodded when they heard this. The white fox girl frowned again and asked, "Brother Mingsnake, what about you?" The young man smiled: "I will continue to participate in the test here, and by the way, I will find a chance to take the black-clothed guest for a while!" The little Xuannu said: "If we go out, we will not be able to control the battle in this venue, if that person is really the Phantom Ice King, can you be sure of winning?" The young man said: "No." But I think in order to hide his identity, he won't show his true strength for the time being. If I can force out his true form, the enchantment in the venue will react by itself, and the teacher of Shizen will not stand idly by. β
When the white fox girl heard this, she really couldn't let go of the young man in her heart, so she hurriedly shook her head and said, "No! This is too dangerous! That Phantom Ice King is a first-class master in terms of rune array and cultivation, if he rushes to attack you before the white-robed Venerable intervenes, how should you deal with it at that time? No, no." I have to stay with my brother......"
"Xiaobai, brother, when will I let you stand in front?" Before he finished speaking, the young man suddenly put his hands lightly on the girl's shoulders, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he looked at her with deep eyes: "Please have a little confidence in my brother, okay?" This is the Rune Array Master Selection Conference, and I won't lose to anyone in terms of Rune Array attainments!"
Looking at the young man's deep and vast starry eyes, the white fox girl felt an irresistible strength and confidence, and the heart that was originally hanging seemed to calm down again. His cheeks were slightly red, and he gently broke free of the young man's hands, gathered his green sleeves and whispered, "Don't call me Xiaobai...... So I obeyed my brother's arrangement. β
The boy is used to getting along with the white fox, and he doesn't know what is going on with the girl, so he grabbed her slender hand and smiled: "This is my good sister!" This pair of handsome men and women aroused the envy of the surrounding people.
"Ahemββ!"
At this time, the voice of the white-robed Feng Zhong came from the dome of the hall: "Congratulations to everyone for passing the preliminary examination of the Fu Array Master Selection Conference!"
Everyone fell silent and raised their heads. Listen closely. I saw the phantom of a white-robed old man appear in the sky above the hall, and said with a kind smile: "Being able to pass the first test shows that you all have the potential to be a rune array master. However, in order to truly become a qualified rune master, you need to have a correct assessment of your strength. After a pause, he said, "Starting with the second test, everyone can have one chance to abstain before the test. Players who choose to abstain will be tested directly from the highest level they have reached in the next Rune Formation Selection Conference. For those who choose to continue but fail in the test, they will start all over again at the next conference. Of course, those who choose to abstain will not know what the test will follow. β
As soon as this statement came out. Immediately caused a discussion in the hall. Everyone was weighing their weight with their companions. Thinking about the next choice. And the young man just looked at the phantom with an expectant expression, because he did not hesitate in his heart, and had already made the decision to continue.
The white-robed Feng Zhong's gaze swept slightly over the spot, and finally stopped on the young man's body. He smiled and said, "Then." Let's start choosing!" he said, gesturing his finger. On one side of the temple suddenly a large door opened, and a small hourglass hung over it. Feng Zhong continued: "Those who choose to give up can leave the venue through that gate, and the rest can just rest here. When the hourglass runs out, the door will be closed. So please do your best to make a decision!"
As the words echoed, I saw that the phantom of the old man gradually faded out of the hall again.
After a little thought, everyone in the hall began to walk towards the gate one after another. After all, many people relied on the luck of rumors to pass the test, and they thought that it would be difficult for them to have such a chance in the later test, so they naturally chose to give up. And after saying goodbye to the young man, the little Xuannu and the white fox also took the opportunity to leave the venue as agreed.
However, there are always two sides to everything, and some people who think they are qualified choose to continue. As one of the remaining contestants said, "If you don't know the content of the connected test and leave, it's really unwilling!"
Boom!
As time passed, the door finally closed tightly at the moment when the sand ran out. At this time, there were less than half of the original players left in the hall.
"Ahemββ!"
The moment the gate closed, the phantom of the white-robed old man appeared again in the sky above the hall. This time, however, it was accompanied by a bunch of light of different colors. Everyone looked at it carefully, and it turned out that those light clusters contained a rune array scroll, but they didn't know what the content was.
For the first time in his life, the young man saw so many formations converging, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "I really deserve to be the honorary president of the Rune Array Master Guild, and the Tai Elder of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion in Xiaoyao Valley! Shi Chan is really happy to die as his student!Hey! I can't miss such a great opportunity, and I'll have to read more of it later!" Then he pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the illusory explanation.
The phantom of the old man looked at the eyes full of doubts, and smiled unhurriedly: "I'm glad that everyone can stay and participate in the following test, first of all, please listen to me and tell me about the rules of this second test." Seeing that everyone was quiet, he continued: "The key to the second test is still to rely on your judgment to make a choice. The white light clusters here contain the first-level rune array scrolls, the blue light clusters contain the second-level rune array scrolls, the red light clusters contain the third-level rune array scrolls, and those purple light clusters contain the fourth-level rune array scrolls!"
"Oh my God! This rune array master selection conference really cost a lot of money! In addition to the prize being a fifth-level rune array, a fourth-level rune array scroll was actually taken out during the test!"
"That's right, I've seen the second-level rune array at most in the Wuyue Kingdom, and the third- and fourth-level rune arrays are all secrets of some families and sects, and there are so many that can be taken out here!"
"Well, Fang Cai must have persuaded a group of people to be afraid that there would be too many people vying for it. Looks like this is the right choice......!"
While the old man's explanation was still continuing, everyone in the hall had already exploded, and they were privately discussing the content of this second test. Listen to the phantom continue, "Of course, these scrolls are not originals but rubbings, and will disappear within a certain period of time after leaving the light cluster. So the first thing you have to do is to choose different reels to test according to your own strength, and the type and number of reels are up to you. β
As soon as these words came out, the hall was even more boiling. If this is the case, then the people who remain today have really earned it! Just imagine, in a country as small as Wuyue Country, who has the opportunity to encounter so many formations at one time? If you want to talk about choice, do you need to ask? Of course, you can take as much as you can! Many people thought like this, constantly rubbing their hands, their eyes were full of bloodshots, and they were almost about to rush out.
The young man calmed down at this time, rubbing the pendant around his neck, waiting for further explanation from the phantom. Experience tells him that there is no free porridge and rice in the world, and this second test is definitely not as simple as it sounds. After all, I don't know how the test works, and I'll listen to the next breakdown. (To be continued......)
