Subsequently, Chen Junhao and Liu Gang drew the Runic Seal Sword's runic array on the new wooden sword.
Just like before, both of them were equally matched at the beginning. However, at the last step, Chen Junhao made a fatal mistake due to nervousness. He failed to draw the Runic Seal Sword.
On the other hand, Liu Gang was still very calm. In the end, he calmly drew the Runic Seal Sword.
At this time, there was no need for Chen Yu to judge who won and who lost.
Chen Yu didn't expect that his hard work would be ruined because of Chen Junhao's mistake. He couldn't help but glare at Chen Junhao fiercely.
Chen Junhao was naturally depressed. However, he also understood that there was a certain gap between him and Liu Gang. Even if he persisted until the end, he might not be able to defeat Liu Gang.
"Alright, Liu Gang successfully drew the Runic Seal Sword and defeated Chen Junhao." Chen Yu said with an ugly expression.
However, just when everyone thought that Chen Yu and Chen Junhao would leave with their tails between their legs, Chen Yu said, "However, Patriarch Li just told me a piece of good news. It just so happens that there's another youth on the island who has shown talent in runes. So, there aren't only two talented youths on the island, but three. In other words, even though Chen Junhao's results are at the bottom, he can still participate in the selection."
As expected, Chen Yu still had some tricks up his sleeves. Moreover, it was obvious that he had come into contact with Patriarch Li Yutang and knew about this child. Therefore, he brought this child up when Chen Junhao was eliminated. Hearing Chen Yu's words, everyone analyzed in their hearts.
It was not surprising that such a situation occurred. If a child on the island had shown talent but didn't want to be selected as a disciple by others and didn't want to enter Yangning Island, the patriarch could choose not to announce his name.
Obviously, Chen Yu went to Li Yutang to ask if there was such a child after seeing that Chen Junhao might not be able to defeat Liu Gang.
Generally speaking, Li Yutang wouldn't tell the truth. Chen Yu was likely to threaten and bribe Li Yutang to reveal the fact that there was a child on the island.
Of course, this also required the child's consent. Otherwise, even if Li Yutang said there was a child, it would be useless if the child didn't come to choose for the three of them.
Knowing that there was such a child, in order to give Chen Junhao a chance to accept Li Tong as his disciple, Chen Yu could only tell him that there was such a child.
"Alright, Patriarch Li will bring them in for the three trainee mentors to choose," Chen Yu said calmly.
At his signal, Li Yutang asked his men to bring the three children in. The three of them looked to be 11 or 12 years old, which happened to meet the age set by Yangning Island.
Two of them were naturally Li Tong and Li Qing, whom Chen Yu and Chen Junhao had met before.
Li Tong was the tallest. The other child was about the same height as Li Qing, but he was slightly thinner. His facial expression looked very stiff and wooden.
"Alright, this is Li Tong, Li Qing, and Li Yunhai."
Li Yutang pointed at the three people and introduced them one by one.
Hearing that the tallest child was Li Tong, everyone present immediately focused their gazes on him. After all, they had all come here after receiving that kind of information.
When Chen Junhao saw that Linlong and Liu Gang's gazes were also focused on Li Tong, his mood immediately sank to the bottom.
His last bit of wishful thinking immediately vanished in a puff of smoke.
Linlong and Liu Gang were obviously here for Li Tong. Looking at the situation, the two of them would definitely choose Li Tong. How could it be Chen Junhao's turn?
Feeling that something was wrong, Chen Junhao hurriedly looked at Chen Yu.
"Li Yunhai is the child who has just shown his talent in runes … Alright, since we've introduced them once, let's let them show their abilities according to the rules."
Li Yutang looked at the three children and then let them begin to show their abilities.
Immediately, the three children strode towards the three tables that had already been set up in front of them, picked up the rune pens on the tables, and began to draw a rune formation.
The three of them had only drawn for a short while when everyone's gazes were already focused on Li Tong's table.
Because Li Tong's ability was obviously much stronger than the other two children, and it was not as simple as just being stronger than the other two children. He was completely capable of showing off on Yangning Island.
Because they had missed out on Li Tong's ability, they could not help but secretly shake their heads.
In the end, only Li Tong was able to draw a rune formation flawlessly. The other two had made different kinds of mistakes.
On the other hand, Li Qing was much better than Li Yunhai.
However, there was still a slight difference, and that was that Li Yunhai's drawing method seemed to be a little different from the usual method. The difference seemed a little strange, but everyone thought that it was because Li Yunhai's ability was poor, and thus the rune formation was drawn incorrectly. Hence, they did not take it to heart.
On the other hand, Linlong repeatedly looked at the rune formation drawn by Li Yunhai a few times, and then a strange glint suddenly flashed in his eyes that no one around him noticed.
"Alright, the children have already shown their abilities. Next, it's time for the three mentors to choose, but …" At this point, Chen Yu changed the topic, and then looked at Linlong and Liu Gang. "Before the three mentors make their choice, I have something to say to Mentor Linlong and Mentor Liu Gang. I wonder if the two of you would agree?"
What was Chen Yu trying to do? Upon hearing this, everyone had the same thought in their minds.
Chen Junhao was immediately overjoyed because it was obvious that his uncle was ready to make a move.
Liu Gang, on the other hand, frowned. Chen Yu's intentions were definitely not good, but with his identity and strength, he would definitely incur Chen Yu's wrath if he rejected him.
Agree first, communicate with him, and see what he was up to. After weighing the pros and cons, Liu Gang made this decision.
Just as he was about to speak, Linlong spoke up. "I'm sorry, I don't have the habit of speaking secretly behind others' backs. If you have anything to say, please say it openly in front of everyone, Master Chen Yu."
Linlong's tone was very calm, so calm that it was as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. However, it caused an uproar in everyone's hearts.
Although Linlong's words weren't cursing, it was clear that he was mocking Chen Yu. However, Chen Yu wasn't an ordinary person. He was a fifth-grade runemaster, someone with status and status in Yangning Island.
Which mentor would not want to curry favor with such a person?
However, not only did Linlong not curry favor with Chen Yu, he even humiliated him. In the eyes of the crowd, this was clearly courting death.
This Linlong was really audacious! Everyone who looked at Linlong thought to themselves.
Chen Yu's face immediately turned the color of pig liver.
