Prince De glanced at Chen Yang who was beside the Deshun Commandery Prince and smiled.”De Shun, this is your disciple Chen Yang, right?”
“You flatter me, Prince De. Yang ‘er, come and greet Prince De.”Deshun Commandery Prince patted Chen Yang’s shoulder.
Seeing this, Chen Yang took a step forward and cupped his hands.” Chen Yang greets Prince De.””
“Alright, please rise, Chen Clan Leader.” Prince De waved his hand, and a surge of spiritual energy was released, lifting Yang Chen up.” Clan Leader Chen, you are about the same age as my great-grandson. In the future, you should have a good exchange with him. Who knows, we might even become like-minded friends.””
At this point, Prince De gave Zhou Ying Lan a look.
When Zhou Yinglan saw this, she took a step forward and cupped her hands in greeting.” Yinglan greets the Deshun Commandery Prince. Greetings, Family Head Chen.”
The Duke of De Shun also used his spiritual energy to help Zhou Ying Lan up. Then, he looked at Prince De.” Prince De, are the others not here yet?”
“I was just about to tell you that they will go to the venue first. When you arrive, I will bring you there.”Prince De laughed.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll have to trouble Prince De.”
Immediately, under Prince De’s lead, the four of them rode on their demonic beasts and flew towards the center of the river.
When he arrived at the center of the river, Yang Chen saw a vortex appear on the river. Through the vortex, Yang Chen could clearly see a few figures and a few huge demonic beasts.
Yang Chen understood that this vortex should be the location of the assessment.
As expected, Prince De pointed at the vortex below and smiled as he looked at De Shun Commandery Prince.” De Shun, this is the entrance to the assessment. Let’s go in.””
“Prince De, please come in.”
“Alright, then I won’t stand on ceremony.”
Prince De immediately put away his subdued beast and jumped into the vortex with Zhou Yinglan.
As soon as they came into contact with the vortex, a ball of spiritual energy dragged the two of them and slowly sent them to the bottom of the river.
After the two of them entered, the Deshun Commandery Prince looked at Chen Yang.” Let’s go in too.””
The Commandery Prince of Deshun put away his natal subdued beast and brought Chen Yang to the bottom of the river through the vortex.
When they reached the bottom of the river, Yang Chen keenly noticed that there was a formation engraved here.”
“That’s right. There’s a water-proof formation engraved by a formation master here, and it’s used as a resting area. In the future, if we become judges, we will also be here to supervise the battles of the demon beasts.”
Zhou Ying Lan walked to Yang Chen’s side and echoed his words.
Chen Yang turned around and looked at Zhou Ying Lan before cupping his hands in greeting.” Greetings, Young Prince.””
Zhou Ying Lan quickly helped Chen Yang up, her face filled with a comfortable smile,” Brother Chen, you don’t have to be so polite. If you can, just call me Brother Lan.””
“Alright, then I’ll call you Brother Lan.”
“Brother Lan, do you know when the referee selection will begin?”Yang Chen asked.
When Zhou Yinglan heard this, she looked at the young men who had come to compete for the position of judge and said,”I think everyone is here. They should be here soon.”
Yang Chen nodded and asked,””Brother Lan, who are the disciples competing to be the judge?”
“Basically, they are all descendants of the royal family. There are three of them who are the young patriarchs of the seventh-rank aristocratic families that are truly vassals of the royal family.”
“Brother Chen, you don’t have to worry. With your strength, passing the test shouldn’t be a problem.”Zhou Yinglan asked.
Knowing that the selection was about to begin, Yang Chen was not in a hurry. He waited patiently for the selection to begin.
About fifteen minutes later, a middle-aged man wearing a robe embroidered with golden silk and a dragon-shaped crown walked to the center of the crowd in two or three steps.
“Everyone, now that everyone is here, let the competition begin.”
“Please stand on the far left side of the water-proof formation. After 1 announce the start, you will enter the river to search for pearls.”
“Take note. When you are looking for pearls, do not destroy them, do not flip them, and do not disturb others.”
“The time limit is ten minutes. Once the time is up, everyone must return to the water-proof formation, or else they will lose their qualifications to compete.”
“When you come back, tell me how many pearls you have found from the Clam King. The five who are close to the correct answer will be the judges of this duel.”
“These pearls are scattered within a thousand meters to the left.”
Following the middle-aged man’s order, Chen Yang and the others quickly rushed to the left side of the water-proof formation.
” I’m choosing. The countdown begins!”
Following the middle-aged man’s order, Yang Chen and the others rushed into the river. Spiritual Qi spread out in all directions as they searched for the pearls produced by the Clam King.
As the Aqua Repelling Grand Array watched Chen Yang and the others search for Zhen Zhu’s figure, the royal family’s powerhouses started a discussion, guessing who would stand out in this selection.
“Duke De ‘an, who do you think will be the judge?”
“It’s hard to say. These people are all young talents, and anyone can become a judge. Marquis Zhongyi, what do you think?”
“I don’t agree with the Commandery Prince De ‘an’s point of view. The search for pearls is not based on strength, but on observation and judgment.”
“According to my estimation, the grandson of the Commandery Prince of Deli is likely to get a spot. After all, he has mastered the Spirit Eye martial arts.”
“Loyalty Marquis, you flatter me. I think your grandson has a high chance of becoming one of the five.”
“Not at all. Oh right, Deshun Prince, what do you think?”
“What do I think?” Deshun Commandery Prince glanced at Chen Yang in the river and said with a smile,””! think my disciple can become one of those five.” “Your disciple?” A look of disdain flashed across the loyal duke’s eyes.” Deshun Commandery Prince, please don’t blame me for speaking harshly. Your disciple’s talent is naturally not bad.”
” But it’s still the same thing. This time, we’re not testing strength or talent. Your disciple’s background is low. Without the accumulation of the royal family’s descendants, how can he compare to the royal family’s descendants?”
Hearing the words of the loyal duke, the Deshun Commandery Prince turned to look at the loyal duke.” Is that so? Then let’s wait and see.”
The loyal Marquis did not know why the Deshun Commandery Prince was so confident that Chen Yang would be able to obtain the final victory, but he still smiled confidently and said,”Alright, then let me see your disciple’s ability.”
In the river, Chen Yang’s spiritual energy swept across the bottom of the river, then he shook his head.
“There are many pearls, but which one is the pearl produced by the Clam King?”Yang Chen pondered for a moment, then continued to explore the bottom of the river, trying to find a different pearl.
After an unknown period of time, Yang Chen’s eyes lit up.” This feeling…” It’s the aura of the Demon Emperor!”
Yang Chen didn’t expect that he could sense the aura of the Demon King from the pearl produced by the Clam King!
“It seems to be my bloodline that allowed me to sense the aura of the Demon Emperor. Could it be that my bloodline has this ability?”
Yang Chen was stunned. He didn’t expect his bloodline to have such a function.
Although Yang Chen didn’t know what his bloodline was, he knew that he had won one of the five judges..
