As soon as he finished speaking, someone carried a black box onto the stage.
The eunuch immediately pointed at the box and said, "There are silver tokens with everyone's names written on them. I'll draw three tokens first. The person whose name is written on the token will have the right to choose his opponent!"
As he spoke, he immediately reached into the black box and seemed to fumble around for a long time before taking out a silver token.
Looking at the words on the silver token, he read aloud, "Li Shangming!"
After saying that, he displayed the silver token on the stage. Everyone could clearly see the words "Li Shangming" written on it.
"As expected, it's Li Shangming from the Li family?"
"What's wrong with Li Shangming?"
"Why? Don't you know that he has a good relationship with the First Prince? This is a guaranteed win! "
"I see!"
The people who were discussing beside Lin Long just now began to discuss in low voices again.
It wasn't just them. Many people present were also discussing in low voices.
Of course, there were also people who felt that it was an accident.
"Alright, let's draw the second token now!" As he spoke, the eunuch reached into the box again.
After a while, he pulled out another silver token. Looking at the silver token, he read aloud, "Ma Yongning!"
"This one has a good relationship with the Second Prince!"
"As expected, it's really predetermined. These two tokens were placed in an obvious place in the box. Eunuch Liu is just putting on an act!"
"How infuriating!"
As soon as Eunuch Liu finished speaking, many people below the stage began to discuss among themselves. Compared to the first person, they were obviously more dissatisfied this time.
In the next moment, Eunuch Liu suddenly looked at a person who spoke a little loudly and asked, "You, what did you say?"
"I … I didn't say anything …" Seeing that Eunuch Liu's gaze was focused on him, that person panicked.
Eunuch Liu's status was different. He served the Emperor, and if he offended him, he wouldn't even know when he would die. Therefore, when he saw that Eunuch Liu was pointing at him, the person's anger instantly disappeared without a trace.
As for the others, they didn't dare to say anything either.
Although they were all people of status, they didn't dare to offend Eunuch Liu.
"I don't want to hear such words again. If I hear them again, don't blame me for using the law to punish you!" Eunuch Liu said coldly.
Naturally, he could hear what the people below were discussing.
Hearing him say this, the people below the stage who originally had objections became even more obedient.
"Now, let's draw the third piece!"
As he spoke, Eunuch Liu reached his hand into the box and quickly pulled out another piece.
The words "Wei Lulan" were written on it.
Wei Lulan of the Wei Clan was also on good terms with one of the princes. Naturally, the audience was dissatisfied, but this time, they did not dare to say anything.
He could only bury his dissatisfaction in his heart.
Eunuch Liu said, "Alright, three people have been selected. Let them choose their opponents, starting with Li Shangming!"
As his voice faded, the person called Li Shangming immediately walked onto the stage.
"Thank you, Eunuch Liu," he said gratefully to Eunuch Liu.
"There's no need to thank me. I can only say that you're lucky," Eunuch Liu said expressionlessly.
Shameless! Such a scene naturally made many people curse in their hearts.
"There are so many people here. Which one will you choose as your opponent?" Eunuch Liu asked.
"Let me see." As he spoke, Li Shangming looked at the crowd below the stage. Very quickly, his gaze stopped on one person. He pointed at that person and said, "Eunuch Liu, I choose that person."
"That young master, please step forward." Eunuch Liu immediately looked at that person.
The person whose name was called stepped forward with a gloomy expression. He originally hoped to meet someone weaker than him, but who would have thought that Li Shangming would directly pick him?
Li Shangming was obviously stronger than him, so he naturally felt gloomy.
After Li Shangming, it was Ma Yongning's turn. Naturally, Ma Yongning also chose someone weaker than him.
Finally, it was Wei Lulan's turn. Wei Lulan was a woman with ordinary looks. However, she walked up with a complacent expression on her face.
She had a good relationship with one of the princes, and this was something to be proud of.
"Miss Wei, who will you choose as your opponent?" Eunuch Liu looked at her and asked.
"Me …" An indescribable smile appeared on Wei Lulan's face as her gaze swept across the crowd below the stage.
Not long after, her gaze stopped on a person's face. That person was none other than Qian Jiayi.
"Miss Qian, it seems that Wei Lulan wants to choose you as her opponent." Lin Long couldn't help but say.
"Young Master Lin, this isn't surprising. I don't have a good relationship with Wei Lulan. Moreover, she is stronger than me." Qian Jiayi smiled.
If it was in the past, she would definitely be extremely worried. But now that her strength had increased, why would she be afraid of her opponent?
"Is that so." Lin Long nodded.
On the stage, when Wei Lulan saw that Qian Jiayi was actually smiling at this moment, a cold expression flashed across her face.
This slut, how can she still smile at this moment? I'll show you later! She roared in her heart.
She immediately pointed at Qian Jiayi and said, "Eunuch Liu, I choose Qian Jiayi!"
With this, the three of them were determined as opponents. Next, Eunuch Liu began to draw the others.
This time, his movements were much faster. Moreover, he drew two silver medals at the same time. In just a short while, the remaining silver medals were drawn. Just like that, everyone's opponent was determined.
Once the opponent was determined, the competition naturally began.
The first to compete was Li Shangming, followed by Ma Yongning, and then Wei Lulan and Qian Jiayi's match.
Li Shangming and Ma Yongning won the first two matches without any suspense. Soon, it was Wei Lulan and Qian Jiayi's turn to stand on the stage.
"There's no need to watch this match. Wei Lulan is definitely going to win!" Those who knew the two of them all said the same thing.
On the stage, Wei Lulan, who was certain that she would win, looked at Qian Jiayi smugly and said, "Qian Jiayi, I'm definitely going to win. You're destined to not be able to enter the secret realm."
She was obviously trying to attack Qian Jiayi with all her might, so she continued, "You must have thought that this is the first time you have a chance to enter the secret realm. After all, the quota has been released this time. However, you encountered an accident like me. This is your fate. If you miss this opportunity, you probably won't be able to enter the secret realm for the rest of your life!"
Wei Lulan was getting more and more smug as she spoke! Hearing her words, many people below the stage could not help but feel indignant for Qian Jiayi.
However, due to the relationship between the Wei family and a certain prince, they naturally did not dare to say what they were thinking.
In the eyes of the crowd, Qian Jiayi would definitely not dare to refute. After all, Qian Jiayi was obviously weaker. However, Qian Jiayi said indifferently, "Wei Lulan, you're wrong. You're the one who will regret it."
"Tsk tsk, you're still so stubborn? Since that's the case, I'll use the truth to defeat you. I'll let everyone see clearly whether you, Qian Jiayi, or I, Wei Lulan, is stronger! "Wei Lulan mocked.
After saying that, she took out her frost talisman. Naturally, it was a second-level frost talisman.
Qian Jiayi also took out a second-level frost talisman.
Although she had already mastered third-level frost talisman, she did not want to reveal her strength. Therefore, she only took out a second-level frost talisman.
B * tch, I'll make a fool out of you today. I'll strip you in front of everyone! Looking at Qian Jiayi, Wei Lulan had an ominous glint in her eyes.
In the next moment, she began to silently recite the rune terminology.
As for Qian Jiayi, she also silently recited the rune terminology at the same time.
In an instant, they activated the frost energy and attacked each other.
Once the frost energy was activated, Wei Lulan's expression changed drastically. This was because she realized that the frost energy that Qian Jiayi activated was actually stronger than hers.
How could this be? Wasn't this b * tch's strength much lower than mine? How could she suddenly completely master second-level frost talisman? She could not help but exclaim in her heart.
Those who knew the strength of the two were naturally extremely shocked.
Under such circumstances, Wei Lulan quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
At this moment, she shouted unwillingly, "Qian Jiayi, you were previously weaker than me. How did you suddenly become so much stronger?"
"It's impossible for people not to change. It's impossible for them not to improve. I'm lucky. Through hard work, I improved by leaps and bounds during this period of time. That's why I surpassed you." Qian Jiayi smiled indifferently.
Subsequently, Eunuch Liu's voice rang out, "Alright, there's no need to compete anymore. Qian Jiayi wins this competition!"
Seeing that Wei Lulan was bound to lose, there was no point in continuing the competition.
Naturally, he did not want Wei Lulan to lose. However, such a competition was conducted in front of everyone. How could he change it?
Wei Lulan could only blame herself for choosing Qian Jiayi. If she had chosen someone else, this probably would not have happened.
After hearing Eunuch Liu's words, Qian Jiayi finally withdrew her frost energy.
Wei Lulan, who was still shivering, could only bear with hatred as she walked off the stage.
After that, the competition continued. However, it was no longer conducted on this stage. Instead, it was conducted in other places.
After all, there were many people. If they were to compete here, who knew how long it would drag on.
Because of this, the competition that lasted for half a day ended.
Because of the victory, Qian Jiayi could naturally enter the secret realm. Even Linlong and the other person were qualified to enter the secret realm.
The identities of the two had to be checked. The most important thing was their bone age and strength. Using the Dantian Record, Linlong easily deceived them.
After noting down everyone's names, Eunuch Liu said, "Today's competition ends here. All of you can come back to this place in two days."
After saying that, he let everyone leave.
As for Qian Jiayi, she left with Linlong and the other person.
After taking a few steps, she saw Wei Lulan walking over with two other people.
"En, Wei Lulan, what's the matter?" Looking at Wei Lulan, Qian Jiayi revealed a smile. It was the smile of a winner.
Naturally, this made Wei Lulan's expression turn even uglier.
She said coldly, "Qian Jiayi, don't be too happy. Even if you enter the secret realm, I will find a way to deal with you."
"Could it be that you want to find someone to deal with me in the secret realm?" Qian Jiayi said.
At this moment, she was a little worried. Although Linlong was not weak, he obviously had his own matters to attend to. It was impossible for him to protect her in the secret realm.
If Wei Lulan really found someone strong, it would be troublesome.
"Of course. How can my Wei Clan tolerate this!" Wei Lulan said coldly.
Wei Lulan was not the only one participating in the Wei Clan. When the time came, a few people from the Wei Clan would definitely deal with Qian Jiayi. Apart from that, she also planned to find someone else.
After all, the secret realm was huge. They might not meet each other. It was safer to find more people.
She believed that her father would definitely support her after today's matter.
"Don't worry. We'll deal with it when it comes," Linlong said from the side.
Hearing Linlong's words, Qian Jiayi could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
"Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here?" Wei Lulan could not help but curse when she heard Linlong's words.
She did not take Linlong seriously at all. In her opinion, the fact that Qian Jiayi found such a young person meant that the Qian Clan had no one capable.
"Do you know that a loose tongue can cause trouble?" Linlong said expressionlessly.
Although he was not a calculative person, as a former Emperor Wu, how could he tolerate such insults from others?
It could be said that after Wei Lulan said such words, the Wei Clan would definitely pay the price. At the very least, the people from the Wei Clan who encountered Linlong in the secret realm would definitely not have it easy.
"Tsk tsk, you're just a follower. How dare you be so arrogant." Wei Lulan sneered and then asked, "What's your name?"
She had already planned to go back and investigate. Then, she would find an opportunity to teach Linlong an unforgettable lesson.
"Lin Jiaming," Linlong said.
"Alright, I'll remember this name. Just you wait and see!" After saying that, Wei Lulan swaggered away with the two people beside her.
"She can't even enter the secret realm. I really don't know how she can be so arrogant." At that moment, someone among the people who were leaving suddenly said such a sentence.
This made Wei Lulan so angry that she almost fell to the ground.
Who? She widened her eyes and looked in the direction of the voice. However, how could she tell who had said it?
She could only leave with an ugly expression. She did not dare to charge over and cause trouble.
After all, those who were able to participate in the competition all had powerful backing behind them. She was not arrogant enough to casually cause trouble for the Wei Clan.
"Young Master Lin, I will ask my father to contact the other forces and ask them to help when the time comes," Qian Jiayi said.
"There's no need for that," Linlong said indifferently.
With his strength, he could do whatever he wanted in the secret realm. Therefore, he did not take Wei Lulan's threat to heart.
Then, the two of them walked back to the Qian Clan.
Soon, two days had passed. On this day, they once again came to the martial arts field in the palace.
Compared to two days ago, there were more people here today. Moreover, the atmosphere was more solemn. This was because the Emperor had personally come to the scene. Almost all the experts in the palace had gathered at the martial arts field.
At a glance, Linlong could easily see experts who could activate level-five ice talismans.
With the Icy Peak Country's strength, Linlong would not be able to gain any advantage by bringing his own people to attack them. Therefore, he chose this method.
When everyone had arrived, Eunuch Liu stood in front of them and said, "Alright, let's verify everyone's identity now."
After saying that, he asked everyone to walk in front of him so that he, the Emperor, and the others could personally verify them.
This way, they would not have to worry about anyone accidentally sneaking into the secret realm.
