Chapter 113: First Round of Promotion Tournament

Lin Zhixian looked puzzled. Seeing Chang Chunning looking at her worriedly, she shrugged, "Is this man already so unconfident? It seems that I can defeat him without fighting."

Chang Chunning couldn't help but laugh: "Junior sister is really amazing, even I admire her very much."

Lin Zhixian rolled his eyes at him and said, "Your joke is number one and mine is number two?"

"No, I'm serious." Chang Chunning said seriously.

Lin Zhixian couldn't help but smile: "Then thank you."

Ignoring Lin Zhiya, Lin Zhixian and Chang Chunning went to report, but there was no drawing of lots to divide them into groups.

After five rounds of preliminary competitions, thousands of contestants were eliminated, and now only 122 people are left, plus 20 people recommended by famous teachers and celebrities, a total of 142 people.

This number of people is really dwarfed by the preliminary round, so there is naturally no need to divide them into groups for the competition.

Lin Zhixian and Chang Chunning had just come out after reporting when they saw Xu Hongmian and Li Jinlun waving at them: "Brother Chang, Ah Xian."

"Why are you here?" Lin Zhixian was very surprised to see them.

After all, they had already been eliminated in the preliminary round, so they didn't have to come to the following rounds.

"We are here to watch the game and cheer for you." Xu Hongmian said with a smile, "Brother Chang, Ah Xian, you guys can cheer for us."

It's always good to have someone care about you, and Lin Zhixian thanked them for their kindness.

"Chang Chunning, Lin Zhixian." A young and handsome boy's voice came from behind.

Lin Zhixian, Chang Chunning and others turned around and looked over. It was a handsome man wearing a white suit and dressed exquisitely.

His handsome face was full of arrogance: "I heard that you stole the show in the preliminary round and won first and second place."

Lin Zhixian raised his eyebrows: "So?"

The handsome guy said arrogantly, "I just want to tell you that the reason you were able to steal the show and get such a high ranking before was not because you were really good, but because the level of the people competing with you was not good enough. The really good people have not yet appeared. Starting from the qualifying round, with my participation, it is absolutely impossible for you to dominate the competition again."

"Really?" Lin Zhixian smiled. "So, the handsome guy must be very powerful. Let's wait and see. I hope he won't disappoint us."

The handsome guy said disdainfully: "Just watch carefully."

The handsome guy walked away in a swagger.

Lin Zhixian turned around and asked Chang Chunning and the others, "Do you know who he is?"

Xu Hongmian really knew; "Ah Xian, don't you know him? He is Zhou Chuanyi, the direct disciple of Master Gu. I heard that he is also Master Gu's nephew. Master Gu taught him everything he knew. Zhou Chuanyi himself is also very talented. At a young age, he already has 60% to 70% of Master Gu's ability. He can be regarded as a new generation of Chu. He is very famous in our Xuanmen world. Many rich daughters are his followers."

"A rich family's daughter?" Lin Zhixian raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." Xu Hongmian said, "You have also seen him. He is fair-skinned and handsome, and many beautiful girls like him."

"Tsk, a man who dresses so slutty all day long and spends most of his time on dressing up, how much time and energy does he have to study fortune-telling? He says he has 60% to 70% of Master Gu's ability? Those are just exaggerations made by outsiders for the sake of Master Gu's face. You believe it? Are you a pig?" Li Jinlun sneered.

"Ha, if I'm not great, then you are great?" Xu Hongmian was not convinced and started arguing with Li Jinlun.

Lin Zhixian did not step forward to dissuade him, but moved back and gave up his seat.

Chang Chunning also followed her and withdrew from the battle circle: "You don't seem to be very familiar with these famous young talents."

"Except for a certain person, I don't know any of them." Lin Zhixiansi made no secret of it: "Then do you know them?"

Chang Chunning said: "I didn't know them at first, but Li Jinlun collected their information for me, so I got to know a few of them."

"Brother Chang, do you mind telling me about it?" Lin Zhixian asked.

"Of course." Chang Chunning said, "Originally, I was going to give you this information later, so it's the same if I just give you a brief introduction now."

"Zhou Chuanyi, just like his uncle, Master Gu, is proficient in Ziwei Doupan."

"The pretty girl in the red dress over there is Liang Jiajia. She is the biological daughter of Tang Xiangu. She learned from Tang Xiangu and is proficient in horoscopes."

"The young Taoist priest in the Taoist robe is called Taoist Guangning. He is the disciple of Taoist Qingfeng. He is good at the Book of Changes."

…

Chang Chunning pointed out to Lin Zhixian all the famous young men he had seen, and also gave her a brief introduction to the ones he had not seen.

Lin Zhixian listened very carefully. These people had all been taught by famous teachers since they were young. They had studied fortune-telling for more than ten or twenty years and had their own areas of expertise. She was not like her who relied on the golden finger to enter the Taoist sect and started fortune-telling for people, and then learned under the guidance and instruction of the Three Fairies. She had no famous teacher to guide her, and she had been studying for less than a year. How could she compare with these proud sons of heaven?

Lin Zhixian does not underestimate herself, but she is also very clear about the gap between herself and them.

In this competition, she didn't aim to win the championship, she just wanted to fight with all her strength to see how big the gap was between herself and these Xuanmen masters.

Soon it was time to enter.

Xu Hongmian and Li Jinlun encouraged them: "Ah Xian, Senior Brother Chang, keep going, we are counting on you. You will definitely be able to win the first place."

Lin Zhixian and Chang Chunning stepped into the arena with the expectations of Xu Hongmian and Li Jinlun.

The 142 people were divided into 10 rows. The 122 people who advanced from the preliminary round were arranged into 8 rows according to their scores. The people recommended by famous teachers and celebrities were arranged into two rows. The last 10 people were then placed behind the row of famous teachers and celebrities. In this way, the two rows of famous teachers and celebrities had 15 people in each row, and the remaining 8 rows had 14 people in each row, for exactly 142 people.

After the contestants lined up, the host came on stage to announce the start of the qualifying round, and then read out the rules of the qualifying round: there are three rounds in total, 30% of the contestants are eliminated in each round, and the points system is still adopted.

Lin Zhixian estimated that after three rounds of elimination, there would be less than 50 people left, with an elimination rate of two-thirds.

According to this elimination rate, two-thirds of the contestants will be eliminated in the semi-finals, and only about 12 people will enter the finals. The competition will still be fierce.

After the host finished explaining the rules of the competition, a group of ten fish rushed in.

This group of people included men and women, young and old, rich and poor, and each had their own shortcomings.

When everyone's eyes were on these ten people, the host stood on the stage and said: "All contestants should have seen the ten volunteers who just came up. They are the test questions for today's round. The task of each contestant is to pick one person from these ten amateurs and tell their fortune. Calculate their age, personality traits, family relationships, marital relationships, career prospects, and major events in their lives. Each correct answer will give you one point, with no upper limit."
