Let's have a duel? What kind of competition is it? "Dong Le couldn't help asking.
"Naturally, he would choose the strongest person in the Rune Woodman Study. How could Master give these things to the weakest person in the Rune Woodman Study?" The Array Spirit sneered.
"If that's the case, then the treasures left behind by my ancestor will definitely be mine!" Dong Le's face revealed a joyful smile.
His disciple's strength was naturally inferior to his, and as for Luo Zhenxiang, there was already a huge gap between them. As for Linlong, he did not believe that the young Linlong would have any attainments in the Rune Woodmen Study, so he naturally felt that his strength in the Rune Woodmen Study was superior to others.
"Dong Le, you're wrong. Luo Zhenxiang, my strength is no longer as weak as before. All these years, I've become a disciple of the Ancient Wood Sect's Elder Yuanmu and learned the Ancient Wood Sect's Runic Woodman Technique. After combining the Runic Woodman Technique of the two great sects, my strength has grown many times stronger than before. Crushing you will be a piece of cake for me," said Luo Zhenxiang arrogantly.
"What? You joined the Ancient Wood Sect?!" Dong Le couldn't help but cry out. "Your talent is only so-so. How could the Ancient Wood Sect accept you?!"
The Ancient Wood Sect was a sect whose strength was similar to that of the Top Wood Sect. It was also because of this that Dong Le was surprised.
After all, after being expelled from the Top Wood Sect, Luo Zhenxiang was not young anymore. His ability to accept new sects was bound to be weak. Moreover, Luo Zhenxiang had a direct conflict with the Ancient Wood Sect before, so he did not expect the Ancient Wood Sect to accept him.
Luo Zhenxiang said coldly, "People with strength will always be welcomed wherever they go. Previously, I was ostracized in the Top Wood Sect because you were worried that I would steal your position!"
"Tsk tsk, you really think too highly of yourself," Dong Le mocked.
"Alright, don't say anymore. Let the competition begin." The Zhen Ling's ethereal voice interrupted the two of them.
Then, everyone felt their vision blur, and ten rows of wooden tablets suddenly appeared in the hall.
What was that? Feeling extremely puzzled, they immediately looked at the wooden boards. As soon as they looked over, they discovered that the wooden boards were filled with all kinds of questions.
There were hundreds of wooden tablets in each row, which meant that there were at least hundreds of questions in each row.
"Lord Array Spirit, is this a competition of our problem-solving abilities?" Dong Le couldn't help asking.
"That's right." The formation spirit answered. "Alright, let's start now. Each of you will choose a column."
As soon as the Formation Spirit's voice fell, each of them chose a line.
Listening to the Array Spirit's meaning, the person who answered the question excellently would have a chance. Hence, the two middle-aged men's subordinates fought to be the first to answer the question.
Linlong also walked into one of the rows and happened to be on Dong Le's left.
"Luo Zhenxiang, I won't lose to you!" Dong Le said to Luo Zhenxiang, who had chosen to sit on his right.
"Dong Le, I've already gathered the strengths of both sides. No matter what you think, you'll still lose," Luo Zhenxiang said nonchalantly, as if victory was already in his grasp.
After bickering, the two of them began to solve the problem.
Following which, the entire hall quietened down. Everyone was doing their best to solve the questions.
The questions at the beginning were easy, so the speed at which the ten of them solved the questions was almost the same.
After solving more than thirty questions, the questions started to become more difficult. After that, other than Dong Le and Luo Zhenxiang, everyone else's speed slowed down.
Linlong also slowed down. It wasn't because he was stumped by the questions, but because he wasn't racking his brains like Dong Le and Luo Zhenxiang.
After a period of time, other than Linlong, the gap between the others and Dong Le and Luo Zhenxiang widened. Of course, Dong Le and Luo Zhenxiang were still locked in battle.
It can't be. How can that kid be so strong? At this moment, the others were all astonished in their hearts.
It was no wonder that they were shocked. Linlong was just too young. At such a young age, his knowledge in the study of the Runic Woodmen surpassed them, who had been immersed in the study of the Runic Woodmen for god knows how many years.
Dong Le and Luo Zhenxiang didn't notice this. From the beginning until now, their attention was focused on each other and they didn't notice anyone else.
The reason for that was because they didn't care about anyone else. They felt that the only ones who could threaten them were each other.
After a period of time, one of them finally walked in front. The one walking in front was Luo Zhenxiang.
With the combined knowledge of the two factions, he seemed to be slightly stronger than Dong Le.
"Dong Le, this is only the beginning. As time passes, the gap between us will grow larger and larger. In the end, you will definitely lose to me." Luo Zhenxiang smiled proudly.
After saying that, he turned his gaze to the others to see how they were doing.
When his gaze shifted over, a surprised expression immediately appeared on his face. There was a person closely following them.
When he looked at that person's face, the surprise on his face deepened. It was actually the youth from before.
"Who exactly are you? How are you so powerful?" Luo Zhenxiang couldn't help but ask as he looked at Linlong.
When he heard those words, Dong Le also subconsciously turned his head. The moment he did so, he was just as surprised as Luo Zhenxiang.
Dong Le couldn't help but ask, "Why are you following us so closely?"
"Naturally, it's because of my strength." Linlong calmly smiled.
Luo Zhenxiang suddenly thought of something and shouted, "Could it be that you are that supreme genius from the Heavenly Wind Sect?"
The Heavenly Wind Sect was another faction in the Wu Guozhong that was comparable to them in terms of strength in terms of talisman puppets.
They had heard that there was an extremely talented youth in the Heavenly Wind Sect who was many times stronger than his peers. It was rumored that he would catch up to the Heavenly Wind Sect's sect master in a few years.
As the youth was very mysterious, even the disciples of the Heavenly Wind Sect did not know what he looked like, Luo Zhenxiang guessed that Linlong was that youth.
"Most likely," Dong Le also said.
"However, no matter how talented he is, his current strength cannot compare to ours." Luo Zhenxiang said.
"Of course." Dong Le nodded.
When they felt that Linlong was that youth, they inwardly heaved a sigh of relief.
While the two of them were conversing, Linlong, who was behind them, finished another question.
Seeing Linlong's expression, the two of them did not dare to delay any further. They quickly focused their attention on the wooden plaque.
After a period of time, Luo Zhenxiang actually pulled away from Dong Le by five questions. Dong Le had to spend a lot of time on each question, and now that he had pulled away to five questions, it was impossible for Dong Le to catch up to Luo Zhenxiang.
Dong Le shook his head helplessly. He didn't expect Luo Zhenxiang to undergo such a transformation.
At this moment, he suddenly heard footsteps beside him. He turned around and saw that Linlong had actually finished the same number of questions as him.
"How is this possible?!"
Dong Le's eyes widened when he saw Linlong.
He was so focused on catching up to Luo Zhenxiang that he didn't pay any attention to Linlong. Who would have thought that Linlong would actually silently catch up to him?
At this rate, wouldn't that brat surpass him? Dong Le's face couldn't help but twitch.
Filled with a strong sense of crisis, he immediately immersed himself in solving the questions.
He knew that he could no longer catch up to Luo Zhenxiang, but if he was surpassed by a brat, how could he, the sect master of the Wood Ceiling Sect, still have any face in front of these disciples?
Hence, he desperately tried to solve the questions again.
However, after a while, he completely despaired. This was because before he could think of a solution, Linlong, who was beside him, had already finished a question and walked forward.
"It can't be, right? That brat really surpassed me!" Dong Le couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this.
"Heavens, he actually surpassed Sect Master Dong!"
At this moment, the others also widened their eyes. Previously, they thought that Linlong wouldn't be able to keep up with them for too long and would definitely fall behind at a certain time. Who would have thought that he would surpass Dong Le so quickly?
Hearing these voices behind him, Luo Zhenxiang, who was in front, subconsciously turned his head. When he saw that Linlong had actually surpassed Dong Le, his eyes naturally widened again.
'No, I have to speed up!' An inexplicable sense of crisis welled up in Luo Zhenxiang's heart.
With this thought in mind, he racked his brains to solve the questions. Previously, because he had surpassed Dong Le by a few questions, he was already a little relaxed. Now that he saw that Linlong had actually surpassed Dong Le, he didn't dare to be careless anymore.
After a while, Luo Zhenxiang's speed directly decreased by half.
The reason was very simple. The difficulty of the questions he was solving now was several times higher than before.
After spending so much time, Luo Zhenxiang, who had racked his brains, finally solved this question.
This question was too difficult. Given the young man behind him's ability, he definitely wouldn't be able to solve it. If that happened, he would be able to monopolize the treasures in this mystic realm, Luo Zhenxiang thought to himself.
Because of this "intuition", he slightly relaxed again.
After a while, Linlong solved the difficult question that Luo Zhenxiang thought was difficult. At this moment, Luo Zhenxiang, who was feeling a little tired, simply stopped and looked at Linlong.
He was still a few questions ahead of Linlong, and he felt that this question would definitely stump Linlong. Therefore, he wasn't worried at all.
"Kid, I don't believe that you can solve it," Luo Zhenxiang said coldly.
Seeing Luo Zhenxiang's reaction, the others naturally realized that Linlong's question was definitely very difficult.
'Looks like this brat is going to lose.' All of them, who had noticed this, thought in their hearts.
However, after a while, all of them widened their eyes again because Linlong had solved the problem.
What surprised Luo Zhenxiang the most was that Linlong's speed was actually about the same as the previous question.
This was a question that was several times more difficult. How could he solve it in about the same amount of time? Luo Zhenxiang was shocked.
'Could it be that these questions aren't difficult for him at all?' He suddenly became worried.
'No, I'm thinking too much. How can it not be difficult?' Luo Zhenxiang quickly rejected his previous thought.
The following questions were getting more and more difficult. There would definitely be times when he was stuck!
With that thought, he immediately began to solve the questions again.
