1155 The East God Palace Is Really Rich
Yu Huang was too embarrassed to answer Beatrice. Fortunately, at this moment, a sharp alarm sounded outside the room. Then, the staff’s voice sounded above the entire Ice Blazing City. “All participants, please gather outside the city gate. In ten minutes, the second round will begin on time!”
Upon hearing this, Yu Huang and Beatrice stopped fooling around.
Upon hearing the announcement, Yin Rong hurriedly walked out of the room and said, “Don’t forget to take off all the spirit artifacts on you. Don’t even wear your interspatial ring, or it will be treated as a violation.”
“Got it.” Yu Huang immediately took off all her spirit artifacts and interspatial rings. After she stored them in the safe in the room, she ran outside the city gate with Yin Rong and Beatrice.
Three minutes later, ten thousand participants appeared in the desert outside Ice Blazing City on time. They lined up and stood in line. The camp didn’t look nearly as crowded as it did three days ago.
After all, more than 90,000 participants had been eliminated in the first round.
Today, Madam Brulee was wearing a black dress and was sitting on an armchair inlaid with red gems.
Looking at the faces filled with fighting spirit, Madam Brulee said, “I’ll give you guys three minutes to take off all the Spirit Tools on you guys immediately. Be it battle-type Spirit Tools or decorative Spirit Tools, I don’t want any of them on you guys.”
“If you can’t bear to take them off, forfeit the screening test!”
Most of the participants had already taken off all their Spirit Tools in the room. However, there were still some vain female cultivators who couldn’t bear to take off their spirit artifact accessories.
Upon hearing Madam Brulee’s words, no one dared to hesitate.
Then, Madam Brulee said, “All participants, go to the changing room immediately and take off your private clothes. Change into the uniform prepared for you guys by the organizer and prepare to enter the arena.”
Yu Huang followed the other female cultivators into the female changing room and changed into the clothes provided by the organizer.
It was made of a material that was very cold. The design, which wrapped tightly around their bodies, was very similar to Spiderman’s clothes. The clothes were hooded and hid their hair, leaving only their faces exposed.
After changing their clothes, they had to leave through door 2 under the urging of the staff.
Yu Huang and the others had just walked out of Gate 2 when they suddenly heard an alarm behind them. They turned around in surprise and saw three to four red beams of light gathered on a beautiful young female cultivator.
The female cultivator’s reaction looked as if she had been discovered doing something shady.
At this moment, a female robot’s reminder suddenly sounded in the changing room. “Warning, warning, a violator has been discovered!”
“Warning, warning, a violator has been discovered!”
In an instant, the gazes of all the participants landed on the female cultivator.
The female participant’s face turned completely pale.
A few staff members walked over and unbuttoned the female cultivator’s tight clothes. Then, they pulled away her hair and took out an ice-element nail from the back of her head. The staff member raised the nail and looked at it as he said, “It’s a ten-thousand-year-old Ice Crystal Marrow.”
The ten-thousand-year-old Ice Crystal Marrow needed a hundred Ice Crystal Marrows from the deep sea ice mine to be condensed after hundreds of thousands of years in order to form.
This thing didn’t have any other powerful effects, but it could resist high-temperature attacks below 20,000 degrees.
With a ten-thousand-year-old Ice Crystal Marrow, the participant could easily pass the second round.
The staff glanced at the female cultivator’s face and sneered. “The East God Palace is indeed rich.” Such a ten-thousand-year-old Ice Crystal Marrow could be sold for a high price of 100,000 spirit stones.
After knowing that this female cultivator was actually a disciple of the East God Palace, Yu Huang noticed that the surrounding participants looked at the female cultivator with schadenfreude.
It was obvious that her decision to secretly hide the ten-thousand-year-old Ice Crystal Marrow wasn’t instigated by the East God Palace.
However, she was a disciple of the East God Palace. She enjoyed the glory brought to her by the East God Palace, and if she made a mistake, it would naturally tarnish the reputation of the East God Palace. It was a small matter if she was discovered cheating and was banned from competing for life. What was truly terrifying was the punishment of the East God Palace’s Sect Master.
Tsk tsk.
The female cultivator clearly guessed her fate. She immediately cried and pleaded, “This matter has nothing to do with the East God Palace. It’s my fault! I asked my father for it! It has nothing to do with the East God Palace!”
However, no matter how she explained and pleaded, the staff didn’t relent at all and pulled her out of the changing room in front of everyone.
The venue was silent, so everyone heard the staff say, “Participant Hu Yu cheated and hid the ten-thousand-year-old Ice Crystal Marrow. Since she violated the competition rules, she will be expelled from the screening competition and banned from the competition for life. Take her away and send her back to the East God Palace!”
She had come to participate in the screening test as a disciple of the East God Palace, so she naturally had to be sent back to the East God Palace.
After witnessing the organizer’s iron-fisted enforcement of the rules, the other participants with ulterior motives turned pale.
Seeing this scene, Beatrice said, “So there’s a Spirit Tool detector in Gate 2. No wonder they let us come out from Gate 2.”
Yu Huang’s expression was cold as she said, “Let’s go. Just mind our own business.”
Before the second round of the screening test began, dozens of participants who wanted to smuggle their Spirit Tools into the Blazing Flame Mountain had been discovered. Three of them were from the East God Palace.
Dongshen Hanyu stared at the three disciples who had been expelled from the screening test because of cheating and were crying in the distance. He felt humiliated and ashamed. He wished he could immediately draw his sword and stab them to death to clear the reputation of the East God Palace.
At this moment, Madam Brulee led eight Prime Masters to descend on the desert.
Their appearance attracted everyone’s attention, so Dongshen Hanyu let those cowards off temporarily.
Madam Brulee and the others released their spiritual power at the same time and forcefully halved the desert in front of Yu Huang and the others. Then, they raised it into the sky, revealing the white jade staircase passageway hidden under the desert.
“All participants, enter examination hall 2 immediately!”
Hearing this, the ten thousand participants immediately moved and walked down the white jade stairs in an orderly manner.
There were only slightly more than a hundred stairs. At the end of the stairs, there was a viewing platform. In the middle of the viewing platform, there was a pure white circular square with three steaming deep wells.
Presumably, the Blazing Flame Mountain was under the deep well.
Nearly a hundred staff members in Alliance uniform stood in the square and looked around at the participants in the stands as they said loudly, “Do you guys see the three deep wells in front of you? That’s right, they are the only passageway connecting to the volcano! Next, all the participants have to jump into the deep well in five seconds to accept the second test! If anyone wants to forfeit, they can just jump out of the magma pool!”
“Remember, only the last three thousand participants can advance to the third round!”
