Madam Brulee said, "This is the Beast Testing Stone. It can test theprehensive strength of every participant. Later, whoever''s name is called wille forward and press the blood from your fingertips on the Beast Testing Stone. After the test is over, the Beast Testing Stone will conduct a preliminary screening ording to yourprehensive strength. Participants whoseprehensive strength fails to enter the top 10,000 rankings will be directly eliminated! Participants who enter the top 10,000 rankings can participate in the challenge!"


    Good lord, before the battle began, 90,000 participants would be eliminated.


    How exciting.


    Yu Huang noticed that after those local participants heard Madam Brulee''s announcement of the screening rules, other than being a little nervous and apprehensive, they didn''t show any surprise or anger.


    It seemed that using the Beast Testing Stone to eliminate most of the participants was the standard procedure of the Central Continent Selection Competition.


    At the thought of this, Yu Huang and the others quietened down and waited for the roll call patiently.


    Madam Brulee shouted, "Let''s wee the first round''s chief supervisor, Prime Master Chengwen!"


    After Madam Brulee finished speaking, a middle-aged man in an ochre-red Beast Tamer uniform strode onto the high tform and stood beside the huge Beast Testing Stone.


    When they saw the man''s appearance, Yu Huang and the others were shocked.


    "It''s actually that man!" This man was actually the one who had met them on the maglev train and told them about the history of Ice zing City!


    "So he''s not a participant, but the chief supervisor." They were so numb from shock earlier that they were stupid enough to think that the screening test was sopetitive that even a Prime Master needed to participate.


    Therefore, they heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that this man wasn''t a participant but the chief supervisor.


    After Prime Master Chengwen went on stage, another 20 staff members who assisted in the test went on stage one after another.


    Prime Master Chengwen stood in front of the high tform and lowered his eyes to stare at the participants below the stage. His expression looked extremely serious, and he no longer had the aloofness and kindness he showed when they met on the maglev train.


    Prime Master Chengwen said loudly, "Next, we will call out names ording to the order of participants'' registration. Whoever is called must go on stage within three seconds. Those who dawdle will wait until the end!" From this, it could be seen that Prime Master Chengwen, who was the supervisor of the referee, wasn''t an easy person to get along with.


    Hearing this, everyone pricked up their ears, for fear that they would miss their names.


    There were as many as 100,000 participants this year. Even though there were 20 Beast Testing Stones working at the same time, they still needed a full day toplete the test. The 20 staff members needed to test 5,000 participants in a day. This was a huge workload.


    Without further ado, Prime Master Chengwen said with an impassive expression, "The test ceremony begins now!"


    With that, Prime Master Chengwen opened the AI terminal.


    The names of 100,000 participants appeared in the void in front of him.


    Those names were densely packed together.


    When Prime Master Chengwen nced at the name of the first participant on the list, he frowned slightly.


    He nced down and shouted with an impassive expression, "Lie Wenshan! Please go to Beast Testing Stone No. 1 for the test."


    Haha——!


    The crowd suddenly burst intoughter.


    If one listened carefully, there seemed to be some schadenfreude amidst theughter.


    Why was that?


    Just as Yu Huang and the others were feeling curious, they saw a fair-skinned blond woman jump onto the stage.


    Donor eximed, "It''s actually her!"


    It was actually the blond girl they had metst night.


    After the blond girl went on stage, she actually winked at Prime Master Chengwen.


    Prime Master Chengwen saw it, but he didn''t react.


    The participants started oohing and aahing.


    Seeing this, Yu Huang nced back and forth between Lie Wenshan and Prime Master Chengwen and couldn''t help butugh.


    It seemed like these two were an item.


    Prime Master Chengwen heard themotion below the stage, but he wasn''t disturbed at all. He looked up at the list and continued to shout the names of the other 19 participants.


    These 19 people also ascended the high tform one after another and walked to their respective Beast Testing Stones to be tested.


    The blond woman, Lie Wenshan, went straight to the No. 1 Beast Testing Stone. Then, she took out a sharp needle from the disinfection cab and inserted it into her fingertip without changing her expression. Dark red blood dripped out.


    After putting down the needle, Lie Wenshan deliberately raised her bleeding finger and shook it at Prime Master Chengwen pitifully.


    Prime Master Chengwen clearly saw it, but he didn''t react.


    Seeing that Prime Master Chengwen was unmoved, Lie Wenshan pursed her lips in boredom. Then, she pressed her finger on the Beast Testing Stone. As soon as Lie Wenshan''s blood touched the Beast Testing Stone, a simple and cute… pufferfish appeared on the Beast Testing Stone.


    Beside the pufferfish, Wen Shan''s personal information appeared—


    Lie Wenshan was a second-time participant, ate-stage Supreme Master Beast Tamer, and an itinerant cultivator.


    Beast Form: Advanced Beast Form Poisonous Pufferfish


    Identity Card Authority: Grade A.


    Age: 35


    The staff of Beast Testing Stone No. 1 nodded at Lie Wenshan and said, "Alright, Miss Lie, you can leave."


    However, Lie Wenshan said, "No, I haven''t expressed my love to Brother Chengwen yet." With that, Lie Wenshan smiled sweetly at Prime Master Chengwen. When she smiled, the pufferfish on the Beast Testing Stone suddenly bulged its stomach and pouted in the direction of Prime Master Chengwen while spitting out a series of heart-shaped bubbles…


    Prime Master Chengwen was speechless.


    Yu Huang and the others were also speechless.


    "Hahaha!" Seeing the pufferfish spitting out heart-shaped bubbles, the crowd below the stage burst intoughter again. Even the staff on the stage couldn''t help butugh.


    Prime Master Chengwen scolded Lie Wenshan with a dark expression, "Nonsense! Miss Lie Wenshan, this is the screening test. Please respect the arena!"


    Seeing that Prime Master Chengwen was really angry, Lie Wenshan pouted and walked down the stage unwillingly.


    When Lie Wenshan left the stage, Yu Huang heard someone discussing—


    "Did you see that? This is the second time Lie Wenshan has participated in the Central Continent Selection Competition. I heard that she sessfully entered the top 100 in thest Selection Competition, but at thest moment, she gave up the right to go to Cang Lang City to participate in the intercontinental finals."


    Herpanion found it strange and asked, "Why? Many people can''t even enter the top 100 even if they want to. How can she forfeit?"


    The person from before said mysteriously, "She didn''te to participate in the screening test to get into a good school. She has an ulterior motive. She likes Prime Master Chengwen!"


    "As the saying goes, no matter how tough a man is, he''s afraid of women pestering him. Lie Wenshan has already pursued Prime Master Chengwen for two rounds of the Challenger League. I think Prime Master Chengwen won''t be able to hold on much longer."


    "Who knows?"


    Upon hearing the contents of those people''s discussion, Yu Huang couldn''t help butugh.


    "What are youughing at?" Sheng Xiao asked her.


    Yu Huang whispered what she had overheard to Sheng Xiao, Yin Rong, and the others.
