Chapter 121 Dragging Behind

  Although they got the admission ticket for the second round, the onlookers didn't show any surprise at all. The one-star Soul Spirit Stone was indeed not challenging at all.

  Moreover, although Yi Chen just finished drawing, the process didn't seem very smooth from an outsider's perspective.

  The outsider's idea had no effect on Yi Chen at all. He returned to his previous position, took out the engraving tool and prepared a two-star soul spirit stone.

  The other magic mirror masters also returned to their positions, but now there were many fewer people on the high platform.

  "Huh." Yi Chen exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and slowly raised his head to look towards the observation platform, his gaze fixed on Qiu Shaoxian's body.

  His devilishly handsome face was filled with indifference, his arms wrapped around himself and his eyes closed, as if he had no interest in this match at all.

  A fierce killing intent flashed through his eyes, and then Yi Chen withdrew his gaze, preparing for the second round of the competition.

  "The second round will still be half an incense stick's time, I hope everyone seizes the moment and doesn't drag their feet." The judge, Mojianshi, lit a pillar of incense and then loudly shouted.

  This sentence was indeed ambiguous, and many people burst out laughing, turning their heads to look at Yi Chen, with contempt in their eyes.

  Those participating Mo Jian masters also burst out laughing, but they quickly stopped their smiles and began to draw the two-star diagram.

  "Why take humiliation upon oneself? It's better to quit the game with a clear conscience." Yuan Lin smiled wryly and also began to sketch.

  She gave Yi Chen a cold glance, and Gu Yun also started to draw the picture, although she didn't say much, but the playful glint in her eyes was caught.

  "Do you all want to see me make a fool of myself?" Yi Chen sneered, clenching the artifact in his hand, and began to manipulate his soul energy, starting to carve the Two-Star Pattern.

  After practicing the heavenly book, Yi Chen was able to draw a perfect two-star map, but he didn't want to reveal his true strength too early, so it was still crooked.

  Although so, every strip of road is closely connected together, establishing a special connection between each other.

  Unlike Yi Chen's picture book, Yuan Lin and Gu Yun's two picture books can be said to be very perfect, and they are also revised picture books.

  "Even a two-star appraisal can be altered, the foundation of the Appraisers' Association is not ordinary." Seeing Yuan Lin's two appraised works, many veteran appraisers began to discuss, their voices filled with envy.

  "Those illustrations have been revised quite well. Are they all done by the Rock Society's leader?" Mo Duo stroked his beard and said.

  "It was revised by Yan Jian himself, and I hope that Elder Mo Duo will give more guidance." In front of someone like Mo Duo, Yan Jian did not dare to be arrogant, humbly said.

  "The rock will be humble." Mo Duo waved his hand, then turned to look at Yuan Lin and the others, smiling: "A famous teacher produces outstanding students, in the future these two little guys' prospects are boundless."

  "Moda praised." Gu Ho and Yuan Tong's faces showed great humility, but their eyes flashed with pride.

  "Look, Gu Yun and Yuan Lin have successfully identified it again." The crowd exclaimed in surprise, pointing in the direction where Gu Yun and Yuan Lin were sitting.

  The crowd turned their heads and found that Yuan Lin and the two had already finished drawing the picture, and successfully drew the two-star soul spirit stone.

  "Not a bit challenging." Yuan Lin had already identified it and put the soul spirit stone that didn't have any impurities in his hand, then left directly.

  Gu Yun also did so, packing up his things and leaving with Yuan Lin to hand over the two-star soul spirit stone to the inspector.

  "Yuan Lin and Gu Yun, promoted to third round with ease." After a check, the referee shouted loudly.

  "It's no wonder they're the top contenders for this year's championship. It's likely that the champion will be one of these two, but it's hard to say who will ultimately take the crown."

  Upon hearing the announcement, Yi Chen raised his head to look at the two of them, but soon withdrew his gaze, unhurriedly sketching in his own graphic manual.

  "Someone else has finished."

  Immediately following, another young man finished engraving a two-star map and identified the two-star soul spirit stone.

  "Moxi Huai has identified a two-star Soul Spirit Stone, success!" The inspector carefully examined the Soul Spirit Stone he had identified and then read it out loud.

  "Third again, if I didn't remember wrongly just now, he was also the third one to finish carving." Many sharp-eyed spectators let out a cry of surprise.

  However, a young man named Mosui did not respond and walked down from the high platform, standing not far from Guyu's two people, with a calm face.

  "Could he also be a master?" Yi Chen's gaze was drawn in, able to complete the engraving in an extremely short amount of time, revealing his incredible strength.

  Gu Yun and Yuan Lin also turned their heads to look at Mo Si Hua, a strange color flashing in their eyes, but they quickly withdrew their gaze.

  Yi Chen didn't look at him again, he withdrew his gaze and continued to focus on carving his own seal.

  As time passed, many Mo Jian masters on the high platform successfully completed their engravings, while those who failed left with a shake of their heads and a dejected air. The once lively high platform gradually became quiet and deserted.

  As expected, Yi Chen became the last one again, but he was unaware of it and continued to carve slowly.

  "Is he the only one left? Is this some kind of joke? Are you intentionally wasting everyone's time?" The crowd turned their heads to look at the incense burner and found that the incense had only burned halfway, and immediately some busybodies began to shout.

  But Yi Chen was like he really wanted to oppose them, and didn't put it in his heart at all. It wasn't until the incense stick was about to burn out that he finally completed the two-star appraisal drawing.

  "What is that thing, can it even be called a portrait?" Everyone couldn't help but shout in disdain when they saw the portrait drawn by Yi Chen.

  Because Yicheng's painting is really too bad, crooked and slanted, completely different from the orthodox painting, just like a novice demon painter.

  "Such a picture can't identify Ling Shi at all, I said it's no good to force..."

  Gu Huo deliberately said such words to provoke Yi Siqing, but his words did not come out completely, and the last word "field" was stuck in his throat.

  Even the audience who were about to utter vicious words, their eyes also became dull in that instant, because the picture drawn by Yi Chen emitted a faint glow.

  "How is this possible? Such a crude forgery could actually succeed?" An incredulous voice echoed through the air.

  Without being affected by the outside world, Yi Chen was very decisive and directly placed the two-star soul spirit stone in the center of the diagram. Suddenly, a strong suction force came out, extracting all the impurities from the soul spirit stone.

  Also at the time of Yi Chen's appraisal, the incense was completely extinguished.

  Stunned, the originally noisy square was silent, with everyone staring at Yi Chen in incredulous gaze. How could he actually succeed in drawing such a picture? This luck is too good to be true!

  Just now, because of bad luck, the engraving master looked at Yi Chen with an envious and jealous gaze. They couldn't help but whisper: "A messy painting can also be successful, it's really unfair, it's suffocating."

  All kinds of eyes were focused on him, but Yi Chen didn't pay attention to them and directly got down from the high platform, coming to the waiting area.

  Looking around, Yi Chen found that the number of people had been reduced by half again. After the second round, the original more than 10,000 people were left with only more than 4,000, and the elimination rate was astonishingly high.

  "The second round is finally over, I hope Chen can smoothly pass the third round." Yisi Qing said with a sigh of relief.

  "The third trial is indeed a three-product soul spirit stone, but it's not something that can be passed just by relying on luck." Gu Ho hummed and said.

  Yi Si Qing lazily didn't bother to refute, merely slightly flicking his sleeve, and flashed a glance at the air, as if swatting a fly.

  "Let's see, hopefully your grandson is really that lucky." Gu Huo sneered and then shifted his gaze back to the scene.

  "Most of those who stayed are masters, it seems that we need to be more careful in the third round." A serious glint flashed through Yi Chen's eyes.

  At this time, Yi Chen felt that someone was watching him behind his back. He slightly frowned and turned his head to look back, only to find that the other person was a young man.

  "It's him." After getting a clear look at the other person's face, Yi Chen murmured to himself that it was indeed the third-place winner of the second round, that young man named Mo Si Hua.

  When Mo Si saw Yi Chen, he withdrew his gaze and pretended as if nothing had happened.

  "It's not simple, he must be a master." Unable to sense the other party's aura, Yi Chen made such a judgment in his heart. In order not to cause misunderstanding, he also quickly withdrew his gaze.

  "The third round of the tournament is about to begin, still in the time of half incense stick." The referee, Mo Jian Shi, walked onto the stage and shouted loudly.

  As soon as the words fell, the Mo Jian masters who had just advanced smoothly walked onto the stage and returned to their previous positions.

  "The third scene depicts a Samsung logo, and it's getting harder and harder."

  Yi Chen murmured softly and returned to his position, his eyes wandering over the many demon mirror masters, finding that they also had solemn expressions.

  "It's him." Yi Chen's gaze was drawn to a figure not far away, who was not far from Yi Chen, and it was the third person from just now, Mo Si Hua.

  Yuan Lin and Gu Yun also turned their heads to look at him, but the proud pair quickly withdrew their gaze, took out their own tattoo equipment and waited for the start of the competition.

  "It's the third round now, won't Yi Chen drag us down again?" The crowd focused their attention on Yi Chen, but most of them were scornful gazes.

  Yi Chen directly chose to ignore it and continued to take out a cold-trembling one-star instrument and pattern disk, waiting for the third round to begin.

  Although it was a big game, Yuan Lin and his team didn't show any tension at all, which drew numerous applause.

  "It's no wonder he's a proud disciple of Iwasa-sensei, with such composure, it's not something an ordinary person can compare to."

  "It's now the third game, don't know if they can continue to lead and finish first."

  "Judging by their strength, they will definitely be the first to finish. Why don't we make a bet? Will the young master of the Yi family be eliminated in this round?" The words were met with no small amount of cheering and laughter.

  "You all want to see me make a fool of myself? Wait and see if you can laugh then." Yi Chen pursed his lips, a cold smile rising in his heart.
