The second level of the Concealed stage was a spacious hall. There were 40 stone tables placed within the hall. An iron sword and a shield were placed upon each of the stone tables.
If one looked carefully at the table, they could also see a rather complicated Rune Magic Circle engraved on the table.
Before the people in the hall could understand what was going on, an ethereal voice rang out.
"The second level of the Secret Realm is to draw the Rune Magic Circle on the table on the shield and sword. This Rune Magic Circle is different from any Rune Magic Circle in the outside world. It integrates the basic knowledge of Runes and can best judge a person's mastery of Runes. It has both defensive and offensive functions. Drawing it on the shield has a defensive function, and drawing it on the sword has an offensive function."
"The time limit is four hours. Those who fail to draw the Rune Magic Circle on the shield and sword will be automatically eliminated."
"If there are two or more people who have drawn the Runic Magic Circle on the shield and sword, then the ranking will be determined by comparing whose shield and sword are stronger."
"Okay, the competition begins!"
After hearing such a voice, no one dared to be careless. They immediately immersed themselves in studying the Rune Magic Circle.
Unlike before, the people outside the Secret Realm couldn't see the Rune Magic Circle on the stone table. This was naturally a Rune Magic Circle, for fear that such a Rune Magic Circle would be leaked.
After all, such Rune Magic Circles were rare or non-existent in the outside world.
Lin Long didn't care about this kind of behavior at all. To be honest, this Rune Magic Circle was just child's play for him. Not to mention that this Rune Magic Circle was only suitable for basic knowledge. In his previous life, he had even seen similar Rune Magic Circles specifically for warriors at the level of Emperor Wu.
As time passed, the people in the secret territory began to draw the Runic Magic Circle on their shields and swords one by one. Huang Tong was the first person to succeed, followed by the second, third, and fourth place people from yesterday. The order was the same as yesterday's results.
But it was different when it came to the fifth place, because Liao Yun finished before Ye Tianyun, and he was not just a little faster, but a full ten minutes faster.
Could it be that Liao Yun really held back yesterday, and his strength was actually much stronger than Li Yunhai? The same thought flashed through everyone's mind when they saw this situation.
Even Pan Qi thought so in his heart.
This situation naturally caused the people on Pan Yingwu's side to worry, especially Pan Yingwu, whose face had turned ugly.
If it weren't for Li Yunhai's previous performances, some people would have started scolding Li Yunhai.
After all, it was not a joke to leave Yangning Island for three years. At that time, not only would Pan Yingwu suffer, but those who followed Pan Yingwu would also be driven away from Yangning Island.
They came to Yangning Island because it was good for practicing runes. Who would be willing to leave like this?
From the fifth and sixth place to the fifteenth place, the order of elimination was basically the same. Occasionally, there would be a change in the order of people with similar strength. After the fifteenth place, people began to be eliminated. After four hours, almost half of the people had been eliminated.
Out of the 40 people, only 22 were able to draw Runic Magic Circles on their swords and shields.
"Well, there are twenty-two people who have finally drawn the Rune Magic Array. Now, we will begin to test the power of the shield and sword you made. Please put your shield and sword flat on the stone table, then take five steps back." Then, the ethereal voice of the Rune Magic Array sounded again.
Twenty-two of them obediently took five steps back.
Although there were twenty-two people, everyone's focus was basically on Ye Tianyun's and Liao Yun's shield and sword. After all, the strength of Huang Tong and the others in front was basically the same as their ranking.
As for the different people behind them, because of the difference in strength and the fact that there was no bet, they did not pay attention to them.
Was it Liao Yun or Li Yunhai who was stronger? Everyone had such a question in their minds.
If Liao Yun hadn't drawn the Rune Magic Array before Ye Tianyun, no one would have thought that Liao Yun was stronger than Ye Tianyun. But now, many people felt that Liao Yun was stronger than Ye Tianyun.
"Lin Li, can Brother Li Yunhai win this time?" Liu Gang, who was next to Linlong, couldn't help but ask.
Hearing Liu Gang's question, everyone around him pricked up their ears, including Pan Yingwu.
"Don't worry, the test will begin soon, and you will know the answer soon." Linlong didn't answer directly, but said so.
Liu Gang and the others could only turn their eyes back to the secret realm.
My shield and sword will definitely be stronger than Li Yunhai's! In the secret realm, Liao Yun clenched his fists and said.
To be honest, he was surprised that he could draw the Rune Magic Array before Ye Tianyun.
While he was surprised, he immediately thought that there was hope for him to surpass Ye Tianyun with his own strength.
While Liao Yun was thinking about this, several white lights slashed toward the twenty-two stone tables.
After a burst of crackling sounds, the eleven shields and eleven swords all showed varying degrees of damage, and some were even directly smashed into powder.
At the same time, the ethereal voice of the Rune Magic Array sounded in the hall again. "According to the results of the first test, the ranking after the eleventh place is determined. The twelfth place is Mo Hai, and the thirteenth place is Liu Liwen …"
The ranking was basically similar to yesterday's results, which meant that the remaining eleven shields and eleven swords were basically the top eleven people yesterday.
After the announcement of the ranking, the ethereal voice said again, "Next, the second test will begin."
When the voice fell, several white lights appeared above the hall, and the white lights once again struck the eleven stone tables like lightning.
After a burst of crackling sounds, everyone's eyes looked at Ye Tianyun and Liao Yun's stone table.
At first glance, they were all stunned because the two swords and shields didn't seem to be damaged.
"Does that white light need to attack again to determine the winner?" Someone couldn't help but shout.
Sure enough, the next situation proved that this was true, because only the seventh to the eleventh place had been decided, and the top six still hadn't been decided.
Then, six beams of white light shot towards the six stone tables.
After the white light flashed, everyone couldn't help but be stunned because Ye Tianyun and Liao Yun's sword and shield still didn't seem to be damaged.
Could it be that they had to do it again?
Just as this thought appeared in everyone's mind, cracks immediately appeared on the shield on one of the stone tables. Soon after, the same thing happened to the sword beside it.
In just a few breaths of time, the shield and sword immediately shattered into pieces.
