...

"President Wood." A middle-aged magician came over and reminded, "The time is almost over."

"Okay." President Wood glanced at Jimmy Gantt again and sighed helplessly, "Then let's start."

With the loud announcement from the President of the Magic Society Wood, the first round of the Truth Conference qualifiers officially began.

The contestants of this conference of truth actually reached an unprecedented two thousand!

Not to mention President Wood, even his junior brother, Andrew Hewi, the Royal Court Holy Magician, was moved by the grand occasion in front of him.

Although Andrew has always been full of doubts about his senior brother Wood's succession as president, there is no doubt that so many young magicians participating in the competition are the result of the growing growth of the Magic Association and the increasingly prosperous way of truth.

The atmosphere at the scene was solemn.

After a brief bustle, the crowd held their breath and focused their minds, and looked solemn. Under the guidance of the tutor in the venue, they entered the examination room and sat in the corresponding seats according to their own numbers and names.

Wu Hui naturally followed.

"Tsk tsk, look at the atmosphere, I really feel like the college entrance examination back then."

Wu Hui sighed secretly that not only the atmosphere is like his college entrance examination in the past, but even the expressions of these young magicians are like the college entrance examination candidates he was on Earth.

In fact, Wu Hui didn't know that for many contestants, participating in the Truth Conference was not only because of the generous prizes after the victory, but also the superior rewards given by any director of the association and personal guidance, but also a real opportunity to make a name for themselves.

Being able to perform well at such a conference is equivalent to proving yourself in front of the whole world.

Once you can have any outstanding performance or be noticed by some big names, you will surely rise to the top and make a fortune in the future.

Of course, these are irrelevant to Wu Hui. He has only one purpose, that is, to get the first name of the conference to reward the rock soul, that is, the heart of the earth!

"Brother, come on!"

"Brother Wu Hui, I wish you all the best."

Black and Daniel, who participated in the competition, greeted Wu Hui on the front left and rear right respectively, and then sat in their seats. Another companion who participated in the competition, Cody, was even further away. He was in the front row of the right, and at this time he waved to Wu Hui and others as a blessing.

Wu Hui's position was in the middle. After nodding politely to his companions, he sat in his seat with great interest.

"The environment here is really good, oh? There is also a crystal ball..."

Wu Hui was in a good mood to be able to relive the feeling of the college entrance examination that year. He looked around leisurely.

Now this exam room is located on the beautiful Xingyue Lake, with the rostrum right in front of it.

It can be seen that this place should have been a green grass, but now it has been decorated by the staff into a very distinctive temporary examination room.

In the examination room, each participant has an independent table and chair seat, and in front of each participant, a transparent crystal ball with a base is placed.

This is a tool for contestants to review and answer questions. The operation is very simple. Even ordinary people who do not have many magic inheritance can easily use it. If you want to make an analogy, then in Wu Hui's eyes, this kind of thing is like the tablet he used on Earth before, and you can control it with your hands.

But the only drawback is that this thing seems to be only used to answer questions and cannot be used to do some weird things.

"Ahem, quiet, please be quiet!"

Not long after I sat down, a calm and powerful cough came from the rostrum.

Many contestants on the scene looked up.

I saw a middle-aged magician wearing a black magic robe and a white beard, and at some point he had reached the forefront of the examination room.

"Dear young contestants, I am the permanent director of the association and the host of this conference of truth, the magician Wilder!"

The host Wilder still made a simple self-introduction with his calm and effective voice, and then pointed his finger at the calm Xingyue Lake.

As he guided everyone to see, a gorgeous blue magic array immediately appeared on the Xingyue Lake.

Soon, a curtain wall composed of lake water slowly rose from this magic circle.

Host Wilder explained with amplification magic: "As usual, the preliminaries of this Truth Conference adopt the question bank score system. The names of the top 100 participants will be displayed on this water curtain wall."

"When the examination time is over, the top 100 contestants will advance to the next round, and all the other contestants will be eliminated!"

As soon as these words were said, the atmosphere on the scene became tense instantly. Most of the contestants' faces were covered with solemnity.

In the preliminaries alone, 1,900 people were eliminated from two thousand people, and only 100 people were able to advance. This competitive pressure is much more stringent than Wu Hui's college entrance examination back then. No wonder these contestants were so nervous.

However, the host Wild seemed to have become accustomed to these reactions. He continued to use his powerful voice to introduce: "The difficulty of the test questions is still divided into the first, middle and high schools, with the corresponding scores of 1, 3, and 5 points respectively. Questions that you don't know can be skipped."

"Remember, this qualifier is in a point system, and the exam time is one Demon Moon Time." After saying that, the hourglass of the Demon Moon Time was turned upside down on the rostrum by him.

At the same time, Wilder once again used amplification magic to face the whole audience and announced loudly: "The preliminaries start!"

In an instant, the entire venue became quiet.

The vast majority of contestants almost threw themselves into front of the crystal ball at the same time.

The crystal ball began to emit a gentle and bright magical light, and the contestants frowned and focused, with their eyes that were almost staring at the crystal ball that began to appear in the test questions.

Judging from their expressions, it seems that as long as they move slowly for even a second, they will be left far behind by others.

"It's interesting." Wu Hui still looked around with interest. Looking at the nervous and solemn expressions of the contestants around him, he couldn't help but remember that he seemed to be the same when he was in the college entrance examination.

Withdrew his gaze, Wu Hui raised his hand and stroked the ancient ring on his finger, full of confidence.

Speaking of which, as an outsider from the earth, he was actually very curious about what kind of test questions would be given in this world that advocates magic and fighting spirit to test the achievements of practitioners.

Moreover, in a limited time, you can use unlimited questions to save points, which is really a big difference from the exams on earth.

So with curiosity, Wu Hui lowered his head and looked at the crystal ball in front of him.

"Puff! What the hell is this?"

It didn't seem to be a big deal, so he almost didn't fall head-on in front of the crystal ball.

The title that appears on the crystal ball now reads: "There are several chickens and rabbits locked in the same cage, counting from the top, with 35 heads, and counting from the bottom, with 94 feet. Ask, how many chickens and rabbits are there in each cage?"

This is not the classic question of primary school mathematics mathematics in China, isn’t chickens and rabbits in the same cage?

As a person who has received the exam-oriented education, Wu Hui was stunned and Petrochemical was on the spot.

Of course, even if he was petrified on the spot, he clearly remembered that there were many solutions to this problem, the most classic of which were the foot lifting method, assumption method, and equation method.

But now as the qualifiers for the Truth Conference, shouldn’t the test questions be related to magic? Why did you get into primary school mathematics in China on Earth?

Just when Wu Hui was surprised, a young magician who counted with his fingers was tortured by the same cage of chickens and rabbits.

I don’t know if he is unlucky, but the first question was like Wu Hui, who drew the classic chicken and rabbit in the same cage.

This young magician, who looks good and has a good background, was sweating coldly when he saw the topic. He sat in his seat, scratching his head in a hurry, and counted it for a long time, and finally his mentality completely collapsed.

"Ahhhh! It's so difficult! It's so hard!!"

He grabbed his hair and wailed on his back, "What the hell is this? We are learning magic, why do we care about how many rabbits and chickens there are in the cage?"

The silence of the scene was immediately broken by his screams.

Many contestants who drew similar questions gave him a deep expression of agreement.

Indeed, the topic of this qualifier is really weird and difficult!

However, just as the exam started, there was such a noise. The presidents of the rostrum, the Holy Magician Andrew, and the "Ice Disaster" Isville all frowned slightly.

In the stands, the host Wilder understood the truth and immediately waved his hand and drove away: "The Truth Conference Examination is sacred, and it cannot be disturbed! Drag it out!"

Before he finished speaking, two magic puppets standing on both sides of the examination room, like knight's armor, immediately took heavy steps and dragged the young magician who was full of complaints out of the examination room in just a few seconds and disqualified from the preliminaries.

"I repeat again, respect the examination rules and abide by the examination room discipline, otherwise the preliminaries will be disqualified!"

Host Wilder used amplification magic to give a stern warning to all candidates, and his expression was full of unquestionable majesty.

The scene quickly became quiet. Even if many contestants had many doubts and confusions in their hearts, they did not dare to make noises at this moment, so they had to honestly focus on doing the questions.

President Wood saw it and slowly stood up. Through amplified magic, he spread his calm and powerful voice to the entire venue: "Young contestants, magic is a great way to truth, magic is the noble knowledge to explore the essence of all things, and magic is the way and method to grasp the true meaning of the world!"

"These questions seem to have nothing to do with magic, but in fact each question is inseparable from the exploration and use of magic!"

"If you can't answer such a simple question, and you don't even want to think, then how can you become a real great magician in the future? How can you become a pioneer in the pursuit of the truth on the road to exploring the truth?"

A few words seemed to be ignited instantly, and all the candidates on the scene had their passion in their hearts.

All the contestants' eyes were shiny, and they seemed to have a deep understanding.

The scene soon became quiet. They stopped complaining, but looked at the test questions in front of them with great seriousness.

As President Wood said, magic is the road to seeking truth, full of thorns and bumps. If even these problems in front of them cannot be solved, what capital does they have to become a real great magician?

The atmosphere in the entire venue was high, and President Wood sat back in his seat with satisfaction, patiently looking forward to the appearance of outstanding students.

Iceville, who was sitting next to him, nodded slightly, which was considered to be acknowledging President Wood's test policy in the qualifiers.

On the other side, the palace mage Andrew's eyes changed, and he agreed with President Wood's words just now, but the corners of his mouth were still full of jokes.

In his opinion, more than 90% of the many contestants on the scene were mediocre talents who were not up to standard, and it would be difficult to achieve any great achievements in their lives. Magic is a high-level talent that provides a few elites with learning. President Wood's idea of ​​teaching without discrimination is just a stupid way to waste time.

"Puff puff puff!"

Time passed little by little, and the magical water curtain rising on the surface of Xingyue Lake finally turned its first turn.

As the waves surged, the names of contestants appeared one after another on the water curtain.

The first place is Ben Stuart, a genius from the Holy Land's Magic Academy, and the disciple of President Wood.

His name seemed to be expected by many people. However, there were still many members of the academy and beautiful girls outside the court, with excitement and joy. If it were not for the preliminaries, no noise would be prohibited, and these outsiders would probably have cheered loudly.
