The altar shook and it spun even faster. The Wood Race characters that appeared were even more complex and jerky. Moreover, they only lasted for half the time before they transformed into new ancient characters!
In other words, the number of ancient characters that appeared in an hour during the middle stage was twice that of the early stage.
Qin Lin and the other two reacted quickly. They immediately tried to decipher it, and it was correct.
The master of ceremonies said, "Qin Lin gets two points."
In the second round, Qin Lin and Xiao Chen succeeded again and got two more points.
The third round was a success.
The fourth round …
In the eleventh round, he failed.
At this time, the altar completely stopped working.
Su Yu could see it clearly. In the early stages, he could make an unlimited number of mistakes, but in the middle stages, he would fail if he made a single mistake.
Moreover, if a successful interpretation in the early stage was worth one point, and the middle stage was worth two points, then how many points would the late stage be worth?
Lü Chuyi was eliminated in the early stage, so she naturally walked down the arena and was replaced by a new contestant.
"Not bad, little girl. You have some of the essence of the boy surnamed Qian." The two heads of Qin Lin praised in unison.
The Deputy General Manager and Monk Zhou were also satisfied with Lü Chuyi's performance. She had persisted longer than they had expected.
However, when he looked at Qin Lin, his brows furrowed even deeper. Compared to last year, these two had delved even deeper into the Wood Race's characters. They had actually deciphered the eleventh round!
In the past, it had never exceeded nine cycles!
The emcee said, "Lü Chuyi got five points. Qin Lin got 15 points in the early stage and 20 points in the late stage. His total is 35 points. According to the rules set by both sides, the points will accumulate until the end of the sacrificial ceremony. Whoever has the highest number of points will be the winner. The winner's total points minus the opponent's total points will be the number of shops the winner will get. "
This was the rule that had been set back then.
If the winner was the Heavenly Knife Region, it would indeed be so.
If the winner was the Blessed and Heavenly Lands, the Heavenly Knife Region would reduce the number of elixir stores by a certain amount until they completely withdrew from Tianya City.
The next one was another Mu language expert from the Returning Principal Palace's Yufeng School, Yu Chengwen.
As for Qin and Lin, because they had the upper hand in the previous round, they still maintained their positions as the ringmasters and did not need to be replaced.
Su Yu wanted to take the initiative to step forward and defeat both Qin and Lin. This way, he could prevent his side from losing a large number of points.
However, when Su Yu saw the Deputy General Manager and Monk Zhou's gloomy faces, he gave up on the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Even if he spoke now, they would not agree.
"Fine, what does the Red Blood Palace's business in Tianya City have to do with me? I'll just do my best," Su Yu said.
Yu Chengwen was slightly weaker than Lü Chuyi. He had only succeeded in four rounds and had lasted for a while. On the other hand, Qin Lin and Lin Xun had broken through to the middle stage in one go and had succeeded in another ten rounds.
"Yu Chengwen, four points, Qin Lin, 35 points."
The next round.
Hua Humei of the Demon Eye Sect.
Her foundation was even weaker than Cheng Wen's, and she was defeated after three rounds. Qin Lin still made it to the middle stage, but this time he only made it to the ninth round.
"Hua Humei, three points, Qin Lin, thirty-three points."
When the Deputy General Manager and Monk Zhou saw this, their expressions became extremely unsightly.
In the past, with Junior Brother Qian holding the line, they could gain a lot of points. Now, the highest score they had was only five points from Lü Chuyi. The gap between them was huge.
According to the situation where one point higher would get ten shops, the other side had already obtained ninety shops! It was equivalent to ten percent of the shops of the Red Blood Palace and the Purple Cloud Palace!
And the competition had just begun!
Afterward, the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands' factions challenged them one after another.
After half a day had passed, the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands' factions descended into deathly silence. No one could utter a single word as they looked at the miserable sight before them.
They carried out another nine sacrifices, and they were all defeated miserably. Moreover, their losses were getting more and more miserable.
In the last five times, the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands scored zero points!
The gap between the two sides' scores was now more than four hundred points! What did this mean? It meant that half of the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands' shops had been snatched away!
This was half of the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands' shops!
The factions would surely not forgive them for suffering such great losses.
In the past, even though Junior Brother Qian wasn't a match for Qin Lin and Lin Xun, he could still fight the other Wood Clan's Language's experts and crush them easily.
But, without Junior Brother Qian, who could recover such a great amount of points?
"There are only two rounds left. Hehe, the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands are really getting worse year by year." Hu Wangui pursed his lips and revealed a faint smile. Victory was already in his grasp, and he had spent a great deal of effort to bribe the Returning Principal Faction's Wood Clan's Language's experts to deal with the thorny guy surnamed Qian.
Everything went according to his expectations, and after they got rid of the last two Wood Clan's Language's experts, the result was basically set. Half of the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands' shops were emptied!
In the future, Tianya City would become the Heavenly Knife Region's territory.
The Deputy General Manager and Monk Zhou couldn't utter a single word. Even though they looked calm on the surface, their hearts were already numb from despair.
"Next round, Master Gao, please come onto the stage."
Qin Lin looked at him and said calmly, "Since you're ranked last, it means that even the Red Blood Palace doesn't have a good opinion of you. Is there any need to continue?"
The five people before him had all scored zero points, and it wouldn't be an accident for this one.
Master Gao said calmly, "Let's start."
"The thirteenth round of sacrificial offerings will start now."
As the crowd cheered, the sacrificial offerings finally started.
As the altar revolved, a row of Wood Clan's Language's words appeared. Qin Lin casually wrote down his interpretation on a scroll and threw it at Hu Wangui.
At this moment, they were surprised to discover that Hu Wangui was also writing, and he was just one or two breaths behind them.
"So fast?" Qin Lin was surprised. Even Lü Chuyi, who was ranked at the top, was much slower than them. What kind of ability could this old man, who was ranked second, have?
With some skepticism, Qin Lin watched as the other party interpreted, wrote, and handed over to the person in charge for sacrifice.
In the end, a layer of hazy energy appeared above Master Gao's head and bathed his body.
Qin Lin's face froze a little. Traces of seriousness condensed in his eyes as they noticed something unusual.
The old man in front of him was different from all the so-called experts of the Wood Clan's language.
Their intuition told them that this old man was not simple.
Hu Wangui furrowed his brows. "A coincidence?"
"One point from Qin Lin, Master Gao …"
The Deputy General Manager was already numb. The former had all scored zero points, and Master Gao had not received any guidance from Junior Brother Qian, so he could only score zero points.
“。。 One point. "
The unusual voice was like a stone that caused a ripple in the Deputy General Manager's heart. He couldn't help but open his eyes, which were like stagnant water, with a trace of concern.
The altar continued to spin, and the second row of Wood Clan characters appeared.
Qin Lin was relaxed, and so was Master Gao. They both succeeded.
The Deputy General Manager forced a smile. At least he wasn't as miserable as the previous few people, but what was the point? With such a huge difference in points, how could a single person change the situation?
The competition continued.
"In the third round, both sides got one point each."
Master Gao had succeeded three times in a row, while Lü Chuyi hadn't managed to do it.
"In the fourth round, both sides got one point each."
In the end, the Deputy General Manager noticed that something was amiss, and he opened his eyes wide. A wisp of hope lit up in his deathly still eyes.
The Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands' members, who were depressed, pained, and ashamed, looked at the arena in surprise.
"What happened? Is that old man really one of us? "
"He's the famous Master Gao. Do you think that he's from our Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands?"
At this moment, the fifth round started, and both sides got one point each.
"Hiss! He succeeded in five rounds in a row, and he still managed to do it easily. Oh my God! Master Gao's attainment in the Wood Clan's language is so high! "
"It doesn't make sense! If that's the case, why did the Deputy General Manager and Monk Zhou rank him second from the bottom?"
They couldn't understand this, and neither could the Deputy General Manager and Monk Zhou.
Their dispirited feelings disappeared, and they became spirited. Their eyes flickered with a bright light, and they clenched their fists behind their backs. It was obvious that they were nervous and excited.
"Old Monster Wu, this Master Gao's performance isn't inferior to my Junior Brother Qian's. If you had such an expert, why didn't you take him out earlier? If you had placed him at the forefront, he might have been able to turn the situation around." Monk Zhou was both excited and resentful.
The Deputy General Manager wore a puzzled look. "I also don't understand this. Master Gao started learning the Wood Clan's language three years ago, and I tested him several days ago. He should be quite ordinary, so I don't know why he has such a great performance."
"Is there such a thing?" Monk Zhou looked at the Deputy General Manager doubtfully. How could he believe such words?
The Deputy General Manager found this both infuriating and funny. Was there a need for him to lie? The difference between Master Gao's performance before and after was too great, and it was beyond his expectations.
"Let's talk about this later. Let's watch the competition first. If Master Gao can be as skilled as Junior Brother Qian, he might be able to turn the situation around," the Deputy General Manager said in a deep voice. He couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva because of his anticipation and excitement.
Even though Monk Zhou was doubtful, his gaze was fixed on Master Gao, who had soared to the sky in one go.
In the sixth round, both of them got a point.
In the seventh round, both of them got a point.
In the eighth round, both of them got a point.
As the competition progressed further, the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands' side became even more fired up. They unexpectedly had an apex Wood Clan's language expert, and he was on par with Qin Lin.
Even the millions of spectators in the surroundings were attracted by this sudden turn of events, and they were all dumbfounded.
"What is the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands doing? If they had such an expert, they should have sent him there long ago. I was worried for nothing. "
"Haha, interesting! I got bored just watching this, but an amazing old man suddenly appeared in the end."
!
The Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands' side became excited and fired up, while Stars Plucker Old Monster's expression changed drastically when he noticed that the situation was far from good. He pointed at Master Gao, who was on the stage, and shouted in a deep voice, "Hu Wangui, what's going on? Didn't you say that you would think of a way to get rid of the opponent's thorny character? Why is there another person who is strong and not weak? "
Hu Wangui's expression became gloomy. "I don't know. Master Gao's skill is obviously average, and I also don't know why he could have such a shocking performance."
"Humph! You better pray that you manage to occupy more stores than last time. Otherwise, the Heavenly Knife Region's Master will consider replacing you, "Stars Plucker Old Monster said.
Hu Wangui said, "Sir, you can set your mind at ease about this. Even if we didn't manage to get half of the opponent's elixir stores, it is already a foregone conclusion that we will occupy more stores than last time."
In the eleventh round, they both got a point.
In the twelfth round …
After an hour passed, the preliminary stage came to an end, and both sides got fifteen points each.
A grave look appeared in Qin Lin's eyes, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who is your teacher? Even the person surnamed Qian isn't as skilled as you. "
Master Gao's expression was calm and indifferent. He said, "You don't need to know this. Just continue."
The intermediate stage competition started.
In the first round, they both got a point.
In the second round, they both got a point.
!
In the fifth round, they both got a point.
In the fifth round, they persisted until the fifth round. Even Junior Brother Qian, who was the strongest, could only persist until the fourth round.
The Deputy General Manager and Monk Zhou almost cried out in excitement.
It was a surprise! It was too surprising!
Junior Brother Qian died, yet another expert, who was even more amazing than him, appeared.
According to the rules, after all the people from the Blessed and Heavenly Lands were challenged, they would have the opportunity to choose one person to challenge the other people from the Heavenly Knife Region.
Master Gao's performance was enough to crush all of them and get back a large number of points.
The losses they suffered this time weren't as great as they had imagined.
This nourished their despairing hearts, and a hint of redness appeared on their ashen faces. They couldn't help but reveal delighted smiles.
However, Master Gao had already reached his limit in the fifth round, and his speed was slower than Qin Lin's.
In the sixth round, he couldn't decipher it, so he gave up and got off the stage.
Qin Lin's mentality might have changed due to the pressure, and he only managed to reach the eighth round.
"Qin Lin got a score of thirty-one points. Master Gao, twenty-five points! " The master of ceremony stumbled. He was surprised by such a strange score. The first round was terrible, and the last round was amazing. Were the people from the Blessed and Heavenly Lands stupid? Why did they only use their trump card now?
Master Gao got off the stage, and the Deputy General Manager and Monk Zhou stood up at the same time to welcome him. They had smiles on their faces, and they were full of praise.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be a true expert. I was blind, and I have offended you in the past. Please forgive me," Monk Zou said with a chuckle. Back then, in order to appease Junior Brother Qian, he had caused Master Gao to suffer.
The Deputy General Manager also wore an apologetic look. "Please don't take last night's matter to heart."
Master Gao nodded with a faint smile. "Sirs, what are you talking about? It's my duty to work hard for the Blessed and Heavenly Lands, and suffering a few grievances isn't worth mentioning."
The Deputy General Manager felt relieved. "Master Gao, I'll have to trouble you later to challenge the other people. I think you can get back a large number of points."
Master Gao pointed at Su Yu, who was sitting in a corner, and no one paid any attention to him. "He didn't go onto the stage, so I don't think it's my turn to go onto the stage a second time."
Him? Who?
The Deputy General Manager and Monk Zhou looked in the direction where Master Gao's finger was pointing, and they noticed Su Yu, who had been forgotten.
Ever since he had been driven out of the seal by Junior Brother Qian the day before, he had been forgotten. No one had mentioned him, and they had been so emotional that they hadn't noticed him.
If Master Gao hadn't reminded them, they would have forgotten about Su Yu.
Monk Zhou revealed a faint smile and said, "Master Gao, you must be joking. Only with you here can we be safe …"
Master Gao turned a deaf ear to him and walked toward Su Yu. He bowed solemnly and said in shame, "Teacher, I'm a stupid student, and I only managed to persist for twenty rounds. I'm really ashamed of your teachings yesterday."
Su Yu was helpless. He had already warned him not to expose his master's identity, but he had still been too careless.
Perhaps he was really ashamed of himself, but he had inadvertently exposed Su Yu.
"You don't need to blame yourself. Reaching such a level in a single night is within my expectations. Once you master yesterday's teachings, you will surely make great progress." Su Yu approved of his performance.
"I will follow your teachings." Master Gao stood up and stood half a step behind Su Yu.
Such a familiar posture clearly showed that they had a teacher-student relationship.
The audience, who didn't know what was going on, started discussing it.
However, those who were familiar with the inside story were dumbfounded.
