"Let's start with the third wooden sword now."
Then, Chen Yu looked at the warrior and gestured for him to test Linlong's wooden sword.
The warrior immediately picked up Lin Long's wooden sword. After activating the wooden sword with his strongest Xuan Qi, he once again slashed at the five iron rods.
To everyone's surprise, after another crisp sound, three of the five metal rods were broken. In other words, the power of the Rune Sealing Sword that Linlong had drawn was similar to that of Chen Junhao and Liu Gang.
How was this possible?
Everyone's eyes widened in shock.
Although Linlong had also drawn a level-three Rune Sealing Sword, the last part of the Rune Formation that he had drawn was clearly a mess. Under such circumstances, it should not be able to compare to Chen Junhao's and Liu Gang's wooden swords.
However, reality told them that they were wrong.
Chen Yu's old face was also filled with shock. He also could not understand this point.
Could it be that the last part of the Rune Formation that seemed to be in a mess had some secret? Chen Yu could not help but look at the part of the Rune Formation that Linlong had drawn.
However, he could not see anything in such a short time.
"From the looks of it, the three people's strength is about the same. How will the victor be decided?" someone whispered.
"That's not right." Someone suddenly shouted.
"What's not right? Isn't it just breaking three metal rods? What other tricks can there be?" Seeing that person's reaction, the crowd could not help but look at the wooden sword that Linlong had drawn.
However, they did not notice anything different at all.
Chen Junhao glared at that person, blaming him for making a fuss and scaring him half to death. He thought that Linlong's wooden sword still had some power.
That person completely ignored Chen Junhao. Instead, he pointed at the spot where Chen Junhao's wooden sword had struck the fourth metal rod. "Everyone is wrong. This wooden sword has already struck the fourth metal rod, causing damage to it."
"Who are you? Master Chen Yu did not say anything. What nonsense are you spouting?" Chen Junhao was enraged. The fourth metal rod clearly did not have any damage, but the other party insisted that it had. He was obviously trying to stir up trouble.
"Brother Chen, you're wrong." That person glanced at Chen Junhao, then suddenly walked forward and wiped the position of the fourth iron rod. After wiping off the fine iron filings, a very obvious cut appeared in front of everyone.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned. They didn't think that the tiny iron shard would be able to block such a cut, so they thought that the wooden sword didn't cause any damage to the fourth iron rod.
This was because the cut was too thin, and the iron filings from before just happened to cover this area. In addition, they had a preconceived notion that Linlong would never be able to damage the fourth iron rod, so they were deceived.
If this person's attention wasn't on the fourth iron rod, he wouldn't have noticed it.
Of course, although this cut was thin, it was much deeper than the one Liu Gang had left on the fourth metal rod. It was obvious that the fourth metal rod had been damaged.
Therefore, Linlong's first place was already set in stone. No matter how shameless Chen Yu was, he couldn't change this fact.
At this moment, the crowd was even more shocked, and their gazes towards Linlong were filled with disbelief.
They had originally thought that Linlong's strength was much weaker than Chen Junhao and Liu Gang. They didn't think that Linlong would be able to produce a third-grade Rune Sealing Sword, and that he was even more powerful than Chen Junhao and Liu Gang.
As for the final mess of the Rune Formation, it was completely ignored by them.
After all, this was a world where results mattered. If one's Rune Sealing Sword was already more powerful than others, who would care about whether one's Rune Formation looked good or not?
Of course, the crowd was naturally puzzled. They couldn't understand how such a Rune Formation was more powerful than Chen Junhao and Liu Gang.
However, this was no longer within their scope of consideration. After all, they didn't even have the confidence to produce a Rune Sealing Sword.
At this moment, no one dared to look down on Linlong anymore. Their gazes towards Linlong were filled with admiration.
Some people even regretted looking down on Linlong.
As for Chen Junhao, his expression was naturally even uglier. This was because even if he won against Liu Gang, the choice was still in Linlong's hands. If Linlong chose Li Tong, there was nothing he could do.
He could only pray that Linlong didn't come for Li Tong.
Linlong's strength was naturally not that much stronger than Chen Junhao and Liu Gang.
The reason why his wooden sword only split a little more was that he had intentionally concealed his strength.
The reason why he had stopped for a long time when he had just started was because he wanted to clearly see Chen Junhao and Liu Gang's strength.
After determining the range of their strength, he then began to draw to ensure that the wooden sword he produced was just that little bit stronger than the two of them.
It was also because of this intention that the situation that followed after happened.
If the surrounding people knew about this, they would definitely be shocked by Linlong's accuracy. After all, even a sixth-grade Rune Master wouldn't dare to guarantee that he could do it so accurately.
"Congratulations, Brother Lin." Liu Gang cupped his hands towards Lin Long, and then he looked at Chen Yu. "Master Chen Yu, now that the champion has been decided, it's time for you to decide between me and Brother Chen Junhao."
Liu Gang's gaze was extremely sharp, causing Chen Yu to feel a little guilty.
However, he had immersed himself in runology for so many years, how could he be scared by a junior?
After rolling his eyes, he pointed at the mark that Liu Gang's wooden sword left on the fourth iron rod and said, "You should be saying that this mark was caused by your wooden sword, but I feel that this iron rod was left behind long ago. In other words, you're just like Chen Junhao, only breaking three iron rods."
Seeing that Liu Gang's eyebrows immediately furrowed, Chen Yu said again, "Everyone, look carefully. This mark is not aligned with the incision on the top. How could it be caused by the wooden sword?"
Hearing his words, the people next to him also noticed this and couldn't help but feel puzzled for a moment. This mark was clearly caused by Liu Gang's wooden sword, so why was it not aligned?
They were just surprised for a moment, but after thinking about it for a moment, they figured out what was going on. It was clearly due to the slight displacement caused by Lin Long's wooden sword.
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but curse Chen Yu for being shameless in their hearts. It was obvious that the shrewd Chen Yu had already thought of this.
That was why he ignored this mark for the time being and tested Lin Long's wooden sword first.
At this moment, they all felt pity for Liu Gang because the evidence had already been destroyed, so it was useless for Liu Gang to say anything.
Liu Gang's expression immediately turned a little ugly, but to everyone's surprise, he didn't argue. Instead, he said coldly, "According to Master Chen Yu's words, Brother Chen and I are evenly matched, so we can only compete again."
After saying that, he looked at Chen Junhao fearlessly.
Chen Junhao was originally relieved to see that Chen Yu had turned the situation around, but when he saw Liu Gang looking at him with such confidence, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
After all, he had already lost once, and it was in a situation where he used his full strength. How could he be confident in winning?
But what else could he do if he didn't compete now? If he didn't compete, he wouldn't even have the chance to choose those two children.
For a moment, he was at a loss and could only look at his uncle, Chen Yu.
Although Chen Yu was older than him, he was only his uncle because of seniority.
"Of course we have to compete, but these metal rods are too damaged, so they're not suitable for the next competition." After saying that, Chen Yu looked at Patriarch Li Yugang and said, "Patriarch Li, go and prepare again."
After Li Yugang sent people out to look for the rods, Chen Yu said again, "After all the trouble just now, everyone must be tired. Patriarch Li, please treat us to a meal first before the competition."
Hearing this, how could everyone not see that Chen Yu was using a delaying tactic? But Chen Yu's identity was there, and the reason he found was very suitable. In addition, they weren't the ones who were at a disadvantage, so naturally, they didn't say anything.
After that, Li Yugang arranged a meal for everyone according to Chen Yu's instructions.
During this process, Li Yugang found an excuse to go out for a while, and only returned when everyone was almost done eating.
Everyone guessed that he must have gone to come up with some crafty plot against Liu Gang.
