In the central area of ​​the Colosseum, many staff members were moving things needed for the competition back and forth, including glass cabinets covered with black cloth.

There were hundreds of them at a glance, and they were still moving things.

This is the grand scale of the World Treasure Appraisal Contest. So many treasures have been prepared for just one knockout round.

It is several times or even dozens of times more than the competitions Lin Han had experienced before.

So this shocked everyone, even Lin Han.

“It looks like we’ve come to the right place!”

"Yes, it is a great honor to be able to watch this world-class competition!"

…

The venue was boiling in an instant, with countless people looking forward to the start of the competition. Although Lin Han and others were excited, they did not show it too much.

After all, there are well-known treasure appraisers all around, and it would be embarrassing to behave like a child or a country bumpkin here.

After the staff had moved all the things, Lin Han counted them and found that there were a total of 232, and there was roughly the same number of contestants sitting in the seats.

Although there were many of them, some people came in with others.

So Lin Han guessed that in this elimination round, everyone should identify an antique, and then decide whether to eliminate them based on the identification results.

"Next, please ask the contestants who have been called to gather in order from the passage to the venue."

"Edward Lewis."

"Yerug."

"Lily of the valley."

…

"Lin Han!"

After calling out countless names, Lin Han's name was finally called out.

"Qin Xiangcao."

Qin Xiangcao's name followed closely behind.

Lin Han and Qin Xiangcao looked at each other, then stood up and prepared to go down.

But at this moment, the staff read out another name, and this name shocked Lin Han and Qin Xiangcao very much.

"Xiaoxiang!"

"What?"

Lin Han and Qin Xiangcao both looked at Xiaoxiang behind them in disbelief.

Xiaoxiang just smiled, stood up and followed them.

"I secretly found the old man yesterday and asked him to sign up for me."

Xiaoxiang narrowed her eyes, tilted her head, and smiled.

"Then why didn't you let my dad sign you up from the beginning? It's just one extra spot, it's not that difficult."

Qin Xiangcao didn’t quite understand why Xiaoxiang only signed up yesterday. Wouldn’t it have been fine if she had asked her father for help from the beginning?

"Because..." Xiaoxiang pursed her lips, "I just made up my mind yesterday."

Before yesterday, she had never been confident in her treasure appraisal skills, but yesterday she got Lin Han's recognition.

It was at that time that she made up her mind.

It's not just the determination to participate in the competition, but also the determination to advance and retreat together with Lin Han.

In fact, she should have done this a long time ago, but she just didn't have the confidence before.

"Oh!" Qin Xiangcao nodded as if she understood, but in fact she didn't understand anything.

Xiaoxiang kept looking at Lin Han. She really wanted to know what Lin Han was thinking.

Lin Han could also feel Xiaoxiang's enthusiastic and expectant gaze. He patted Xiaoxiang on the shoulder and smiled:

“I’m looking forward to your performance!”

"Yeah!" Xiaoxiang blushed and nodded like a girl in love.

"Gao Tie Shan!"

"Fang Qinxue!"

"Zhao is rich!"

At this time, the staff read out the new list.

"Um?"

Lin Han and others looked at the three people who stood up from their seats.

Although they guessed that Gao Tieshan and Fang Qinxue would participate in the competition, they didn't expect that Zhao Youqian would also participate.

But now is not the time to talk about this. They all went down the passage to the large venue in the center and lined up in several queues with other people in order.

After waiting for a while, everyone else arrived. It was just as Lin Han had guessed, the number of glass cabinets corresponded to their number.

"Now that everyone is here, I will introduce today's referees. We are honored to have three referees who were once world champions from all over the world."

"One is the world champion from 50 years ago, Mr. Dao Changqing!"

"Hi hi!"

Dao Changqing stood up and waved happily to the people around him.

"I was wondering why it sounded familiar, but I just couldn't remember where it came from. Turns out he's a former world champion!"

Qin Xiangcao, who was beside Lin Han, immediately remembered where she had heard the name Dao Changqing after hearing the host's words.

However, because that was the name and person from fifty years ago, the current Dao Changqing is no longer the same as before, so after she heard his name yesterday, she couldn't remember who Dao Changqing was.

"The second is the world champion from 10 years ago, Miss Haley."

A mature blonde woman in her forties next to Dao Changqing stood up and waved to the people around her.

"The third is the world champion from last year, five years ago, Mr. Xu Wen!"

The yellow-skinned, black-haired man in his thirties on Dao Changqing’s left stood up.

The appearance of those three people caused quite a stir. After all, these three people were former world champions, and it was really not easy to invite them.

After introducing these three people, the competition officially began.

The first thing is the expected elimination round, where everyone identifies their own things and then is eliminated based on whether they answered correctly or not.

With more than 200 people competing together, the scene was grand, but they were eliminated very quickly.

After all, this is a world-class competition. Even in the knockout rounds, the difficulty is not a piece of cake. Many of the difficulties are no easier than Lin Han’s previous provincial finals.

After the results of the elimination round came out, nearly two hundred contestants were eliminated, and in an instant only about thirty people were left on the field.

This situation is really cruel, eliminating two hundred people at one time, this is too cruel. You know, among these people there are many masters from all over the world!

I guess those who were eliminated must be quite unconvinced, after all, no one thought that they would be eliminated in the knockout round.

Lin Han and his group were lucky, no one was eliminated. They were very lucky. The same was true for Gao Tieshan and others on the other side. No one was eliminated, and they all advanced together!

"Next, it's time for the main event! But don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Lin Han reminded Xiaoxiang and Qin Xiangcao. Of course, Qin Xiangcao didn't actually need his reminder. His main reminder was only to Xiaoxiang.

After all, this was Xiaoxiang’s first time participating in such a competition, and the last time he competed on his behalf was not considered formal.

So Lin Han was still very worried that her performance would be affected by nervousness. Of course, nervousness is necessary.

"Yeah!" Xiaoxiang nodded slightly, let out a breath, and calmed down her nervous mood a little.
