1506 Prying into the Past (2)
“Tsk.”
Professor Song unscrewed the cup and took a sip of warm tea before saying, “Out of the five thousand partic.i.p.ants who have been eliminated in the first two rounds, less than five hundred can stay to partic.i.p.ate in the third round of the test.”
Yu Huang nodded with a cold expression and said, “The compet.i.tion is very intense.”
“There’s still one last match left in the preliminary round. This last match is much more difficult than the first two rounds. I reckon a large number of partic.i.p.ants will be eliminated. There won’t be more than 50 clairvoyants who can successfully advance to the finals tomorrow.”
Yu Huang was shocked when she heard this ratio.
!!It seemed that this third round was definitely h.e.l.l mode.
Professor Song continued, “Only those who successfully pa.s.s the preliminaries are qualified to partic.i.p.ate in the final compet.i.tion tomorrow. The five partic.i.p.ants with the best performance can all join the clairvoyant a.s.sociation and enter the Divination Star Tower to further their studies. However, only the person with the highest score and the most outstanding performance can obtain the t.i.tle of Saintess and be qualified to enter the top of the Divination Star Tower to read ‘The Possibility of G.o.d’s Prophet’.”
Professor Song patted Yu Huang’s shoulder and said, “Your goal is the Saintess.”
Yu Huang’s blood boiled when she heard this, but she was still puzzled. “Mentor, I heard that you were the one who wrote ‘The Possibility of the G.o.d’s Prophet’. You know best what’s recorded in it. Even if I can’t become the Saintess, you can tell me the content.”
Professor Song shook his head. “So what if I know the content? All the previous holy children and saintesses have read that thesis. The content of that thesis has been secretly circulated around long ago. Guess why everyone still wants to be the Saintess?”
Yu Huang was rendered speechless by Professor Song’s question.
She immediately calmed down and said thoughtfully, “Could this thesis be just a ruse? The most important thing is hidden behind the thesis?”
“That’s right.” Professor Song didn’t keep them in suspense anymore. He told Yu Huang directly, “Let me tell you the truth. In ‘The Possibility of G.o.d’s Prophet’, there is the spiritual consciousness of a few divination big shots. After they died, every clairvoyant fused the power of divination in their bodies into the thesis. What everyone wants has never been that thesis, but the power of divination is hidden in the thesis.”
“Only the holy child and saintess who have successfully comprehended the essence of the thesis and obtained the recognition of their spiritual consciousness can take away the power of divination.” Professor Song pursed his lips in the direction of the Jing family as he said in a low voice, “That girl from the Jing family has this goal too.”
After hearing Professor Song’s explanation, Yu Huang was enlightened.
“No wonder.”
“In short, you have to do your best in every test. Yu Huang, you have to advance as soon as possible. If you can predict the next move of the Great Dao, we can thwart his every plan in advance.”
“Yu Huang, the burden you’re carrying is the life and death of the three thousand worlds.”
It was as if a mountain was pressing on Yu Huang’s shoulder, so heavy that she couldn’t breathe. “Mentor, believe me, the three thousand worlds will not fall.” Yu Huang smiled at Professor Song comfortingly. She was clearly much younger, but when she looked at Song Ji with a smile, Song Ji actually felt a.s.sured.
“Mentor, you have to believe that among us cultivators, there are more compa.s.sionate people than those who are afraid of death.”
The mentor and disciple chatted for a long time.
Yu Huang could always calm down quickly when she chatted with Professor Song. When the third round of the preliminary compet.i.tion began, she felt motivated again.
After Jing Jiaren returned to Hall 1, she and Yu Huang exchanged looks from afar. Their eyes were filled with provocation. The two women nodded at each other tacitly before returning to their respective teams.
At this moment, Yu Huang was the only one left in team 100.
As Yu Huang sat alone at the s.p.a.cious long table, she felt extremely lonely. The partic.i.p.ants who had already been eliminated didn’t leave either. They sat at the spectator seats and watched as the partic.i.p.ants who had advanced continued their a.s.sessment. The eliminated people who had been a.s.signed to group 100 looked at Yu Huang with eyes filled with pride.
She was the only one in Group 100 who was qualified to compete with Jing Jiaren. It was also their honor to be in the same group as Yu Huang.
They could tell their son and son about this in the future.
“Yu Huang, you can do it!”
Before the compet.i.tion started, Yu Huang heard a few cheers for her. She waved at the group of eliminated seniors in Group 100 and calmed down while waiting for the President to announce the question for the third round of the compet.i.tion.
At this moment, the President appeared in front of everyone. He waved his hand and shouted, “Bring the prisoners up.”
Upon hearing this, the examinees were somewhat stunned.
The bystanders were also surprised.
Why did he bring prisoners?
Yu Huang frowned slightly and looked towards the entrance. Then, she heard the sound of chains dragging on the ground. Soon, ten prisoners in light blue prison uniforms were brought to the high platform of Hall 1. Among these ten people, there were men and women, and there was even a pregnant woman who was about to give birth.
Yu Huang sized them up calmly and heard the President say, “The ten prisoners standing in front of you guys are all Beast Tamers who have done all kinds of wicked things. Next, you will have an hour to observe their past. One of them is a psychopath who likes to torture and kill orphas. Find that person and reveal the time, place, and process of his crimes in as much detail as possible.”
“The referee team will give points according to the answers you give.”
“The countdown starts now.”
