The light cluster representing the spiritual root became larger and larger, and everything in Du Ziyuan's dream began to become clear.

Suddenly, he threw a punch in his dream, dispelling the haze in front of him, and his cultivation also entered the sixth floor of the Cultivation Spirit.

"Wake up!"

As soon as his mind moved, he immediately withdrew from the dream. The moment he opened his eyes, he had the illusion that everything in front of him had become clearer, which was brought about by the increase in his mental power.

The combat effectiveness of the Cultivation Realm is not high, but the effect is still some. Now that he was in the sixth heaven, he could already use some small techniques such as hypnotism. However, with his current mental strength, it would be a bit difficult to deal with some martial artists in the middle of the Juyuan Realm.

However, he didn't care much about this, and the biggest benefit of this cultivation promotion for him was that his control over the writing pen was more perfect.

Although the pen can draw quickly, it is not as detailed as hand-drawing, and the gap can be seen at a glance by industry insiders. Even if ordinary readers can't say it, there is still a sense of disobedience. So he didn't use a pen in the second round.

He put on the pen and tried again, and this time it was much better, but it was still far from perfect.

"At most, it's 90% hand-drawn, at least 95%. Du Ziyuan casually threw the painting into the paper basket.

Comics are a very detail-oriented business, and sometimes the color difference and shape of a light and dark area will affect the visual effect of the whole picture. Du Ziyuan still has high requirements in this regard.

After his breakthrough, he stabilized a little, and the third round of the competition finally arrived.

This time, the evaluation mode is similar to the second round, but this time instead of voting, it is changed to scoring.

Each of the 10,000 judges has a quota of 10 points, and the guests are only responsible for commenting, not scoring.

In the end, the 1,000 highest scores and the 1,000 lowest scores are removed, and the full score is 80,000 points, depending on who gets the most.

This may be to avoid the loss of the book that came first.

Because the number of people has decreased, it can complete the entire 8-in-4 elimination round in one day.

In the first round, it was Songzi and the prince of Wuguo.

"Come on, little three!" Du Ziyuan cheered her up.

"Don't call me a junior! wait and see how I cut him." Matsuko glared at him, then confidently walked to the center of the stage.

Fuyu also walked over silently, and the expression on his face was always like an iceberg that could not be dissolved.

The game officially began, and according to the results of the draw, the first to go was the pine nuts.

This time, the two drew a book called Suspense. The story is about 9 people who don't know each other and are invited by a certain being to a place called Yuyaozhuang. As a result, they were killed one by one, but the murderer was nowhere to be found.

The way out of Youyaozhuang was blocked, everyone fell into a panic, and the privacy of 9 people was revealed one by one.

It turned out that these 9 people were all related to a family, and that family was wiped out 10 years ago.

The mastermind behind the scenes is obviously here for revenge, and one or more of these nine people must be the murderers who caused the family's demise. But it's not clear who is behind the scenes, so he simply found all 9 people, anyway, none of these people are good people, and it's not a pity to die.

The reason why they are killed one by one may be to know the truth on the one hand, and on the other hand, it may also be to torture the murderer. The author didn't write about it, but it was all inferred by several characters in the book.

It is divided into 4 volumes, of which 6 people died in the first 3 volumes, and according to the clues that have been given, it is very likely that the mastermind behind the scenes is among the 9 people. The final volume should give a perfect explanation and fill in some of the previous unsolved puzzles.

However, the author who wrote this tried to pursue the daughter of the publishing house owner, but the daughter didn't take a fancy to him. In a fit of anger, he switched to the competitor of his old club, and this naturally had no follow-up.

Later, he hung up because of heavy stomach bleeding caused by alcoholism. It became an eternal mystery.

Merit, while there are various benefits, is not omnipotent. If you die, you will still hang even if you have millions of merits.

The family whose family was destroyed was surnamed Li, and the nine people were: a doctor, a scholar, a butcher, a fast catcher, a thief, a singer, a restaurant owner, a street gangster, and the old man next door.

The doctor was the first to die, he mistakenly judged that the illness killed the son of the Li family, but he didn't want to lose money, so he dredged the government and broke the leg of Lao Li, who went to complain.

The owner of the restaurant died second, he was originally a partner of the Li family, but he took advantage of the Li family's distress and swallowed the entire restaurant.

The street gangster died the third, and after Lao Li went to sue and was beaten out, the gangster stole the heirloom jade from him.

Lao Wang next door died the fourth, he fornicated with Mrs. Li, and also plotted to kill Lao Li.

The fifth butcher died, he coveted the daughter of the Li family, but he came to propose marriage but was refused, and put down his cruel words when he left.

The sixth thief died, he committed burglary, and when he was discovered by the daughter of the Li family, he suffocated her and threw her into the well.

There are three left, the scholar, the catcher, and the singer, and their relationship with the family has not been revealed, but it still leaves a little foreshadowing.

For example, when the scholar appears, he is a lifter and personable. The third volume revealed that because his family had no money, he went to work as a scholar for the Li family's son. After the Li family was wiped out, he disappeared.

Catch Kuai is the person who broke Lao Li's leg back then, and he and the doctor actually knew each other, but he didn't admit it at first. In addition, the scholar also knew Lao Wang and the doctor, but in order to hide his identity, he also pretended not to know them at first.

The last singer is said to be Lao Li's good friend back then, Lao Li rented a courtyard for her outside, and hid a lot of private money from her. However, after she learned that Lao Li had an accident, she immediately ran away with the money, completely ignoring the slightest bit of her past feelings.

The three who survived didn't look like people who would avenge the Li family, and if they had to say it, the scholar was the most likely. And from the very beginning, the author used the heaviest pen and ink on him, and there was even an emotional scene with the singer, which looked like the male protagonist no matter how you looked at it.

Some people speculate that there must be some untold story behind this scholar.

Of course, some people speculate that one of the first 6 people may have faked his death, and the real murderer is actually hiding in these 6. This technique is not uncommon in suspense, and it generally works very well.

The last group of readers believes that the murderer is not actually one of the 9 people, there is a 10th person inside, and that person is the real mastermind. He created an atmosphere where the murderer was among the nine, and that was to make them kill each other.
