Inscriptions could be seen shining on the jade wall. Apparently, the jade wall was covered with inscriptions.
At this moment, the White Jade Square was already crowded with people.
Countless young geniuses from the Talisman Puppet Sect had gathered here.
Not only young people, but many older people had also come to watch the competition.
"Look, Tianyun is here!"
"He really dares to come. The geniuses will definitely not let him off. This time, he can't use his martial arts!"
"Let's see how strong his Inscription Dao is. I can't believe he's able to become a Zongzi candidate!"
As soon as Lu Ming arrived, all eyes were on him.
"Tianyun, I hope your Inscription Dao won't disappoint me!"
Xu Ri walked over. His gaze was cold and sinister as he glared at Lu Ming.
What had happened last time was a great humiliation.
"That's right, Lu Ming. I hope you won't disappoint me!"
Guan Rong also walked past. He looked at Lu Ming with a sullen expression, full of provocation.
At the same time, the geniuses who had been beaten up by Lu Ming glared at Lu Ming as if they wanted to bite him.
"You're asking for a beating again, aren't you?"
Lu Ming glanced at the geniuses, causing them to turn pale. They snorted and walked to the side.
Geniuses flew over from time to time.
Lu Ming saw Ji Mai, Yan Tonghua, and Meng Jia.
The three of them were the main characters of today's competition and received everyone's attention.
There were 13 people from the Talisman Puppet Sect who were ranked in the top 100 of the List of Top 1,000 Talents. All of them were Zongzi candidates and would not participate in this competition.
Ji Mai, Yan Tonghua, and Meng Jia were ranked closest to the top 100 and were the most qualified to be in the top three.
They were also the most likely to win the Sky Observation Platform.
"Who do you think will get first place?"
"It must be Ji Mai. He's ranked 107 on the List of Top 1,000 Talents. Although it hasn't been updated for a long time, I don't think anyone can surpass him!"
"That's right, I think so too. Ji Mai should be number one without a doubt. As for Yan Tonghua and Meng Jia, their rankings are close. I wonder who's stronger."
"I wonder if there will be any dark horses. How many places do you think Tianyun will get?"
"It is undeniable that Tianyun's Martial Dao is strong. Among the younger generation of the Talisman Puppet Sect, there is no one whose Martial Dao is as strong as his. I'm afraid the Senior Elders have taken a fancy to his Martial Dao and thus conferred him as a Zongzi Candidate. As for his Inscription Dao? It's impossible for him to be that strong. At most, he can only cultivate to support his martial arts! "
"That's right, it's impossible to be strong in both aspects. There's no such freakish person!"
Sounds of discussion could be heard all around.
At this moment, figures appeared in the sky one after another, and the entire place quieted down.
The leader of the Talisman Faction, Bai Shijin, the leader of the Marionette Faction, Du Songjue, and a few other elders had arrived.
Inscriptions appeared in the sky, and chairs appeared. The chief elders sat down in the air.
At the level of the Grand Elders, it was easy for them to inscribe formations in the air.
"Alright, I'll be the host for today's trial!"
A figure stepped forward with a thunderous voice that echoed in the surroundings.
"It's Supreme Meng Chong. I didn't expect Supreme Meng Chong to be the host this time!"
An uproar took place in the surroundings, as many people were excited.
Meng Chong was one of the Five Great Supremes of the Talisman Puppet Sect. They did not expect Supreme Meng Chong to be the host this time. Even the leaders of the two factions were present. It seemed like they were treating the trial with great importance.
Many people rubbed their fists, preparing to perform well. If one of the Grand Elders was interested in taking them as a disciple, they would be rich.
"The trial is split into three stages. The first stage is to identify the formations on the white jade wall. The second stage is to challenge the Ten-Thousand Formation Pagoda. The second stage is to compete with one another!"
"Now, let's begin the first stage!"
Meng Chong announced, before flying toward the ten-thousand-meter-long jade wall. He arrived beside it and waved his hand, causing a landscape painting to appear on the wall.
"For us Inscription Masters, eyesight is extremely important. If we were to enter a dangerous place filled with formations, we would need to be able to identify where the formations are and where they are not."
"Take this landscape painting for example. There are many formations on it. What you need to do is to find the formations on the painting. Once you find a formation, you will be awarded a point. Those who have less than ten points will be disqualified. Those who have more than ten points will advance to the next round!"
Meng Chong reached out his finger and pointed at a corner of the painting. Following a loud roar, a ferocious tiger flew out from the painting.
This meant that there was a formation on the painting.
"Now, do you understand?"
Meng Chong scanned the crowd and yelled.
"Yes!"
The crowd responded.
"Most importantly, you must be cautious when searching for the formations. Once you find the wrong one, you will be eliminated. Therefore, it's best not to act recklessly if you aren't confident!"
"Alright, in a moment, many paintings will appear on the white jade wall. The difficulty is the same, but the paintings are different. You can choose any one of them and identify them!"
Meng Chong announced.
Following this, the two old men appeared at the two ends of the jade wall. With a wave of their hands, inscriptions entered the white jade wall. Immediately, the white jade wall that was ten thousand meters long began to shine, and images began to appear one after another.
Every one meter, there would be a picture. On the entire white jade wall, there were a total of five thousand pictures. These pictures were all different from each other.
Some were mountains, some were rivers, some were demonic beasts, and some were scenes of great battles.
"Level 6 Inscription Masters, those below 30 years old can go up the stage!"
Meng Chong instructed.
Swish! Swish!
Instantly, numerous figures flew up and landed on the white jade wall. They randomly chose a painting.
"Let's go up too!"
Bai Chi Xue said.
Lu Ming nodded. Together with Bai Chi Xue, they flew up and landed on the white jade wall. Each of them chose a painting.
Not long after, over 3,000 of the 5,000 paintings were chosen.
In other words, there were over 3,000 level 6 Inscription Masters below 30 years old. This number was considered not bad.
Of course, most of them were ordinary and couldn't be considered as geniuses.
Many people landed on the white jade wall and quietly observed the paintings to identify the arrays.
The spectators in the surroundings also quieted down so as not to disturb the contestants.
The painting that Lu Ming chose was a landscape painting. A swordsman with a longsword on his back was walking on a small mountain path.
Lu Ming's gaze swept across the painting. Blue Spirit Fire spread out from his finger. He tapped on a small tree branch. Instantly, a silver battle sword flew out and then disappeared.
At the top right corner of the painting, a number appeared: one.
It represented one point.
Under the white jade wall, the others also waved their hands and tapped on the wall. Various lights flashed on the wall.
There were weapons, demonic beasts, flames, lightning, and so on.
The scene was gorgeous and dazzling. Looking from afar, it was very spectacular.
In the beginning, everyone's speed of finding the arrays was very fast.
However, after finding the five formations, many people slowed down.
