Translator: 549690339
Great Gan, Jiang Prefecture, under the Great River.
“Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen…”
After checking the area, Yang Chen’s eyes turned and he swam to the next area.
In less than ten minutes, Yang Chen had already counted three areas.
Yang Chen’s actions, in the eyes of the royal family, were undoubtedly an act of giving up on himself.
After all, the others hadn’t even finished checking their first zone, but he had already completed three.
How was this possible?
This number of pearls was not like a ring, where the strong could push through, and the gap between them could be widened.
As for what treasures Yang Chen had, he could quickly count the pearls.
After a discussion among the big shots, they unanimously agreed that it was impossible. After all, Yang Chen was born in a humble family, so how could he have such a treasure?
It wasn’t as if these people hadn’t considered it. Yang Chen was lucky to obtain this treasure, but the probability was too low. Moreover, he had to travel for a long time before he could obtain it.
As for Yang Chen, as the head of the family, how could he have the time to search for treasures?
“Based on Yang Chen’s past deeds, he isn’t someone who would give up easily. Why would he give up so easily?”
“No, 1 don’t think he’s giving up. He’s focusing on something.”
“Focus on something?”
“That’s right. If I’m not wrong, Yang Chen knew that he couldn’t find the pearls accurately, so he searched quickly and found the pearls he was sure of first.”
“Oh, in that case, Chen Yang is quite smart and knows how to make a choice.”
“It’s just a stopgap measure. If you really have the ability, do you need to find such a method?”
In the river, Yang Chen, who was deemed to be a stopgap measure by everyone, had already finished inspecting the fourth area and was officially heading to the fifth area, which was also the last area.
“There are 17 pearls in total in the four areas. Although I don’t know how many pearls the mussel produced, I’m sure it’s more than that.”
” It seems that this fifth district must have hidden a lot of pearls, but I don’t know if there are any disguises.””
After thinking about it, Yang Chen’s eyes swept over the exposed pearls and began to comprehend them.
“There’s nothing here, and there’s nothing here either…”
“Strange, where is the aura of the Demon Emperor? Could it be that there were no pearls produced by the Demon Emperor here?”
Yang Chen looked at the pearls in confusion. Were there really no pearls here?
No, it should be hidden deeper.
Immediately, Yang Chen closed his eyes and immersed his consciousness in his bloodline to see if he could sense the hidden pearl through his bloodline.
Just as Yang Chen was immersed in his own body, he suddenly discovered that there was actually some light in his blood.
“What is this?” With the appearance of this light, Yang Chen felt as if he was in a starry sky.
And those lights turned into stars that could be touched.
Just as Yang Chen was about to pluck the stars, everything in front of him shattered like glass, and everything returned to the river.
This time, Yang Chen noticed the pearls that were buried in the soil and had the aura of a demon emperor.
Perhaps even Yang Chen himself didn’t know that when he was inspecting these pearls, his eyes suddenly turned into the shape of the sun. Streams of dazzling light flashed in his eyes and then disappeared.
With the change in his eyes, Yang Chen pointed at the pearls.
After Yang Chen finished counting, the eyes returned to their original state, as if it was just an illusion.
“Seventy-three pearls. I didn’t expect there to be seventy-three pearls here, and they were all hidden so deeply.”
Yang Chen cursed in his heart and immediately returned to the Water Repellent Array.
Since he had already counted, there was no point in staying here.
As for whether he would be in the limelight or not, it didn’t matter anymore. Anyway, he would still attract attention later, so he didn’t care about this little bit of time.
After Yang Chen returned to the Water Repellent Array, these big shots looked at Yang Chen with various expressions.
There was admiration, approval, and disdain.
However, no one spoke.
Time ticked by. Not long after, the middle-aged man who had announced the start of the test announced the end of the test.
“The test is over. Please return to the water-proof formation. Otherwise, you will be disqualified.”
As the middle-aged man announced the end of the assessment, everyone quickly returned to the water-proof array. They stood quietly in a row, waiting for the middle-aged man to continue.
Not long after, the middle-aged man came to the front of everyone.” Write the number of pearls you think you have on this wooden board.”
With that, the middle-aged man waved his hand, and wooden tokens floated in front of everyone.
The group of people took down the wooden token and used their hands as pens to write down the number of pearls they thought they had.
After collecting the wooden token, the middle-aged man said,””Wait a moment, the results will be out in a while.”
Then, the middle-aged man turned around and left.
After the middle-aged man left, whispers instantly sounded.
“How many pearls are there?”
“I counted sixteen. What about you?”
“I counted thirty-five. Ying Jian, how many did you count?”
Everyone looked at the young man called Ying Jian. This person was Zhou Yingjian, the grandson of the Marquis of Loyalty. He was respected by everyone because he had mastered a Spirit Eye martial art.
Zhou Yingjian smiled and said,”I counted fifty-three.”
The moment these words were said, everyone’s expressions were different.
“It’s over, it’s over. 1 only counted twenty, and it’s so far from the correct answer. How can I leave it behind?”
“Haha, 1 just randomly wrote 49.1 didn’t expect it to be so close to the correct answer.”
Zhou Ying Lan walked to Yang Chen’s side and asked,”Brother Chen, what’s your answer?”
“Ninety.” Yang Chen said.
“Ninety.” Zhou Yinglan nodded.” It’s about the same as mine. Mine is 83. Looks like my luck isn’t bad, I’ll be able to get a spot as a judge.”
“Ying Lan, the correct answer is fifty-three crystals. You are still thirty crystals away from the correct answer, so how could you possibly get a spot as a judge?”Someone laughed.
Zhou Ying Lan glanced at him but didn’t say anything.
This attitude of disregard made the man’s heart burn with anger.” Why? Do you think that Ying Jian’s answer is wrong?”
“Or are you saying that you would rather believe this person who you don’t know anything about than Ying Jian, who has mastered a Spirit Eye martial art?”
This person’s words caused Zhou Yinglan to frown.” What are you so noisy about? Don’t forget that you’re a descendant of the Great Qian Dynasty’s royal family.”
“As for the correct answer, won’t you know later?”
When that person saw this, he shook his teeth and turned to leave.
Looking at that person’s back view, Zhou Yinglan said disdainfully,”Such behavior is a disgrace to the royal family.”
“Brother Chen, don’t misunderstand. This kind of person is a minority in our royal family. The other disciples of our royal family will never be like him..”
