Chen Ping stretched his body and then walked towards the bathroom. He planned to take a bath and then go to sleep, as tomorrow was the opening day of the Smart Dragon Pool.

"Aww~ That feels so good~"

Chen Ping sat in the bathtub, looking at the steaming hot water, and sighed comfortably.

After waiting for the water to cool down, Chen Ping got up, dried himself off, wrapped himself in a towel, and walked out of the bathroom toward his room.

After using his magic to dry his hair, Chen Ping fell asleep comfortably. After all, he had just gone through a great battle, so he was sure to fall asleep instantly.

(|3[▓▓] Goodnight)

And so, Chen Ping slept until the next morning. Then, still half asleep, he smacked his lips from time to time, wondering what he was dreaming about.

......

On the other side, Ying Huo's family was already sitting neatly at the dining table. Ying Xin was going to participate in today's Wisdom Dragon Pool competition, so the whole family was definitely cheering her on.

"Sister, you have to bring back a championship trophy too!"

While eating breakfast, Ying Huo spoke to Ying Xin across from him.

Upon hearing this, Ying Xin rolled her eyes and said irritably, "My dear sister, you overestimate me. There is no age limit at the Wisdom Dragon Pool. How could someone as young as me compare to those older scholars?"

Although Wisdom Dragon Pool mainly focuses on dragon history, which is also my area of ​​expertise, it's still a bit uncertain. If I can make it into the top 100 and win the prize, I'll be incredibly happy!

Hearing his two daughters' conversation, Ying Yu, the father, laughed and said, "Xiao Huo, your sister is right. The Wisdom Dragon Pool is much more difficult than your Dragon Ball Competition, after all, the age limit has been removed."

In previous years' Wisdom Longtan competition, it was mostly older scholars who won, with very few young people participating. Making it into the top 100 was considered quite an achievement.

Of course, many highly respected senior scholars wouldn't compete with younger people; they would rather serve as judges or question setters for the Wisdom Dragon Pool competition, which would be a greater honor for them.

Ying Huo took a bite of bread, chewed it, and said, "Oh, is that so? It's that difficult. Well, sister, you have to keep going! We'll be cheering you on from outside."

Ying Xin rolled her eyes again and then complained, "You didn't even offer any encouragement. After the Wisdom Dragon Pool is activated, people outside can see and hear, but we contestants can't hear any of the sounds from outside."

This is to prevent cheating by transmitting sound. After all, someone tried this in previous competitions, and although it was quickly discovered, the Huanglong Clan has patched the loophole.

Upon hearing this, Ying Huo nodded in understanding.

Zhao Qingyun: "Alright, aren't you guys going to eat quickly? Don't be late."

"Yes, Mother!"

Ying Huo and Ying Xin immediately replied.

Ying Quan, the older brother, had already finished eating and was now slowly drinking milk.

After having a good meal, it was already 7 o'clock, and the family of five set off for the event venue at Smart Longtan.

......

Upon arriving at the Smart Longtan event site, Ying Huo and his family were awestruck by the sight before them.

Although there were still twenty minutes before the official start of the competition, the square was already bustling with people, colorful dragon flags fluttered in the wind, and people of different races were dressed in festive attire, with conversations and laughter rising and falling, creating a lively and extraordinary atmosphere.

Children ran and played, holding dragon-shaped balloons, and the air was filled with a tense yet excited atmosphere.

"Wow, it's so lively!" Ying Huo exclaimed, her eyes darting around, trying to capture every fresh and interesting detail.

"Yes, it seems this year's Smart Longtan competition has attracted a lot of people," Zhao Qingyun replied with a smile, while holding her two children's hands tightly to prevent them from getting separated in the crowded throng.

Led by Ying Yu, the family quickly made their way through the crowd, heading straight for the registration point. Along the way, they occasionally encountered acquaintances or old friends, exchanging nods and brief greetings before hurrying on their way.

When we arrived at the registration point, the line was already very long, but fortunately the organizers were very efficient and the line moved quite quickly.

When it was Ying Xin's turn, she handed over her competition token. After the staff checked it against the list, they smiled and gave her a competition certificate and a map with a location charm so that she could quickly find her competition area.

"Go for it, Yingxin! We believe in you!" Her family gave her hugs and words of encouragement before she entered the venue.

Ying Xin took a deep breath, nodded, turned around and stepped into the contestants' exclusive passage, her figure gradually disappearing among the many dragon historians and sages.

Afterwards, Ying Huo and his family began searching for a good spot in the spectator area. They eventually settled on a high platform with a wide view, overlooking the entire competition venue and providing a clear view of the live broadcast on the big screen.

As the match time approached, the stands gradually filled up, and everyone waited expectantly for the match to begin.

Zhao Qingyun took out a folded fan from her bag and gently waved it to relieve the discomfort caused by the rising temperature.

Ying Huo excitedly shared his predictions for the competition with the children around him, while Ying Quan appeared more calm, occasionally interjecting to share some interesting stories from previous competitions.

Finally, as a melodious dragon's roar music began, the opening ceremony of Wisdom Dragon Pool officially commenced.

The host announced the competition rules and introduced the judges in a loud voice, and the audience responded with applause as they were introduced.

Host: "The first competition event! Knowledge quiz! To begin, each participant will have to go through a round of timed quizzes. The questions will cover multiple fields such as dragon history, culture, mythology, science and technology, philosophy, and law. Correct or incorrect answers will result in elimination."

After passing the first question, the Dragon Pattern project will be unlocked! Participants who pass the question-and-answer session will enter the maze area and must solve puzzles and symbols based on dragon history events. Each puzzle solved will advance them to the next level. Failure to complete the task within the time limit will result in elimination!

This is the first stage of the competition for the Smart Longtan competition!

"Next, please welcome our referees! They are the champions from previous years. They have a deep understanding of the history and rules of the Dragon Clan and have extensive competition experience. They are fair and impartial."

The involvement of the dragon clan elders ensures that the competition content respects dragon culture, preserves its correctness, and maintains historical accuracy.

And academic luminaries, renowned scholars from various fields such as historians, philosophers, and writers, provide diverse perspectives to ensure the competition's comprehensiveness and fairness.

Amidst this enthusiastic atmosphere, the Ying family's eyes remained fixed on the arena where sparks of wisdom were about to collide, silently cheering for Ying Xin and anticipating her brilliant performance.
