Just as everyone was wondering what to do next, a disembodied voice boomed from above their heads: "The tokens are hidden on the mountain. Students, you can start your journey up the mountain now." After a pause, he continued, "The so-called elimination round means that some people will definitely be eliminated. Therefore, there are only a few tokens on the mountain, only enough for half of your groups to pass. Do your best, students!"
"Half of the groups passed, right? Only half of the people passed this round?" A classmate yelled angrily in dissatisfaction.
"Yes! In previous years, most people could enter the third round. But now, even if all the tokens are found, only half can enter!" someone else said angrily.
"Damn it, this is too unfair! It's all just a matter of luck! What if you're unlucky? Even the strong ones will be eliminated? It's not fair, so unfair!" another person said angrily.
"Okay, let's go up the mountain first, first come, first served!" A classmate's shout woke everyone up, and countless students began to rush up the mountain, fearing that they would lose the opportunity if they were slow!
Just when Lan Zi Ye was about to go up the mountain with Lan Rongrong and the others, Lan Xiaoqi's voice came from behind: "Xiao Ye, let's go together!" Lan Zi Ye turned around and saw Lan Xiaoqi and four other unfamiliar classmates.
"This is my team, Zhou Tao, Lu Ming, Xu Ding, and Zheng Yuan!" Lan Xiaoqi introduced.
Lan Ziye smiled awkwardly and said, "Isn't this bad? We're not in the same class!"
"We have heard of Master Lan's name for a long time. We have no intention of winning the championship title in this competition. We just hope not to be eliminated in the second round. We hope Master Lan will do us a favor and give us a hand!" Zhou Tao said sincerely.
Lan Ziye looked at Lan Xiaoqi.
Lan Xiaoqi quickly raised his hands to prove his innocence, saying, "It's none of my business. I didn't say anything..." Then he added with an embarrassed look, "They were the ones who suggested... wanting to be with you."
Lu Ming stepped forward and extended his hand, making a handshake gesture. He said awkwardly, "My family runs a black market business, and the name Twelve Young Master is well-known in the black market. So... I'm sorry, I was the one who leaked your identity and abilities to them!"
So this guy is the legendary young master from the black market. Lanxuan Academy really is willing to accept anyone! But think about it, even Su Muhan from Wan Yao City is studying here, so who else can't be admitted? →_→
Lan Ziye stepped forward and shook Lu Ming's hand openly, saying, "It's okay. The identity of the 12th Young Master Lan isn't dishonorable anyway. There's nothing to hide!"
Lu Mingxian was very happy that Lan Ziye was willing to shake hands with him, and turned to smile at the others.
"Xiaoye, do you agree?" Lan Xiaoqi said happily.
Others may not know, but he knows Lan Ziye's abilities. If he's in a group with Lan Ziye, he doesn't have to worry about being eliminated. (*^ω^*)
Lan Ziye tilted his head and looked at Lan Xiaoqi and said, "I didn't say anything!"
Lan Xiaoqi was stunned. What did that just mean?
"How about we take Lan Yanyu and the others with us?" Lan Rongrong leaned over to Lan Ziye and whispered, "They're all well-known for their academic excellence and character at Lanxuan Academy. They always make it to the finals. With them joining us, our chances of winning will be much greater."
"Yes! They are very famous in Lanxuan Academy, and their reputation is second only to the Three Musketeers of Lanxuan!" Zhu Ning also echoed in a low voice.
