1505 Prying into the Past (1)
After being defeated by Yu Huang, all the partic.i.p.ants, including Jing Jiaren, agreed with the score given by the referees.
After all, the black bean drawn by Yu Huang was more accurate than the answers they gave.
After the second round of the preliminary compet.i.tion ended, Yu Huang surpa.s.sed Jing Jiaren and came in first place with a two-point advantage.
Previously, the partic.i.p.ants who had underestimated Yu Huang because she was only a Level 1 Wizard had stopped underestimating her and treated Yu Huang as a rival as capable as Jing Jiaren.
After the two preliminary matches ended, it was lunch break.
!!The lunch break was two hours long, and the partic.i.p.ants could do whatever they wanted.
Most of the partic.i.p.ants who had advanced chose to return to the hotel to gather with their family members who had come to cheer them on. Talking about their daily lives was also a form of relaxation and distraction. Jing Jiaren went to the top floor of the Starlight Building alone. There was a private pool that wasn’t open to the public.
The entire Starlight Building was the Jing family’s property, so the pool was also the Jing family’s private property.
Swimming in the water like a fish was Jing Jiaren’s way of relaxing.
When Jing Ruge heard his subordinate’s report and found out that his daughter had gone to the pool, he raised his eyebrows and gave Yu Huang, who was sitting beside Professor Song and eating popsicles, a playful look. It seemed that the girl, who had had a smooth sailing life for more than thirty years, had finally met a formidable opponent this time.
Jing Jiaren’s formidable opponent, Yu Huang, was still sitting beside Professor Song and acting like a little girl.
Professor Song was reading while Yu Huang sat at the side eating popsicles.
However, outsiders didn’t know that the book Professor Song was reading wasn’t a profound book, but actually a cooking book. What Yu Huang was eating wasn’t an ordinary popsicle, but a rare ice-type tonic.
This was a reward that Professor Song had specifically prepared for Yu Huang.
“You did well today.” Seeing that Yu Huang had finished eating the popsicle, Professor Song suddenly praised her.
Yu Huang licked her lips and asked Professor Song, “Mentor, is there more? I feel that I can eat three more.” This popsicle had a milky fragrance and tasted similar to ice cream. She liked it.
Professor Song snorted. “Do you think the ten-thousand-year-old Ice Milk Marrow is as worthless as a popsicle? The one you ate just now can be auctioned for a hundred thousand spirit stones. Do you understand?”
Yu Huang immediately felt that she had a n.o.ble body.
“How do you feel today?” Professor Song asked again.
Yu Huang replied seriously, “This feeling is unprecedented. Now, I can easily see the lifeline of the predicted target through the naked eye. In the first round of the preliminary compet.i.tion, I was able to clearly tell the life story of that White Fish Witch precisely because I saw its lifeline.”
When Yu Huang saw Professor Song’s curious expression, she couldn’t help but feel amused. “The lifeline is an energy body that appears to have a faint golden l.u.s.ter. It records all the memories of a living being’s past. At the same time, it also records the fate trajectory of a living being’s future. However, this part of the line is semi-illusory because the future is filled with uncertainties.”
“Previously, I saw the White Fish Witch’s past easily, but its future looked blurry. I think it was probably due to my failure to completely master the Eternal Eye.”
Professor Song was enlightened. “I see. We clairvoyants can only comprehend through the power of divination and find the most likely one among countless possibilities. And the pair of eyes you have helped you eliminate all uncertain factors and presented the final outcome in front of you.”
“The Eternal Eye is the strongest cheat sheet.” With that, Professor Song smiled mysteriously. He looked up at the surveillance cameras and pursed his lips as he said disdainfully, “My disciple has a cheat sheet. If you have the ability, catch her.”
Yu Huang laughed at Professor Song. “Mentor, don’t let others hear this. If they hear this, they will say that you’re a mischief.”
