In the square near the Divine Rune Hall, the first round of the Rune Competition had begun.
Thousands of contestants were gathered together. In the middle of the square, there were hundreds of rune pillars revolving at high speed.
The first batch of contestants had begun their competition.
Some runes rushed out of the rune pillar that was rotating at high speed.
If one could obtain two or more runes from the rune pillars, they would be considered to have passed and would be able to participate in the next round.
In fact, many contestants stood in front of the pillars and did not receive the slightest reaction from the pillars. Not even a single rune was projected.
There were not many people who could obtain two runes. Even some famous runemasters in the capital could not obtain many runes from the pillars.
As time passed, batches of contestants completed their first round of competition and their results were confirmed.
Ye Qing's gaze swept across the square and immediately shook his head. He secretly thought that the runemasters in the capital were too weak.
So far, at least two thousand runemasters had participated in the competition and their results had been confirmed. The best result was only five runes.
In the crowd, the ninth prince had a smile on his face. Now, it was his turn to go on stage!
The ninth prince was a rune genius. He had always been famous for his extremely high talent in runes.
At this moment, the ninth prince's appearance immediately caused a commotion. In the square, countless people looked over.
The ninth prince stepped forward and looked at Ye Qing. He sneered and said, "Lao Siji, the power of your soul is indeed powerful. I wonder how your talent in runes is?"
The ninth prince sneered again and again. He despised Ye Qing in his heart and looked down on him.
In the ninth prince's heart, his talent in runes was at the top level. The results he could obtain would definitely be above Ye Qing's!
"Ninth prince, you don't have to worry about my matters. Take a few more runes first so that your face won't be too ugly later."
Ye Qing smiled coldly and stood with his hands behind his back. He did not even bother to look at the ninth prince.
Competing with him in talent?
Whether it was alchemy, weapon forging, rune writing, or beast taming, Ye Qing was not bad at all!
With the God-level Perception in hand, Ye Qing could completely beat up everyone in Beijing!
"Okay, Rolls-Royce Machine, just watch. Don't be scared silly later!"
The Ninth Prince was incomparably arrogant as he walked towards the pillar step by step.
Buzz!
The Ninth Prince stood two meters away from the pillar. In an instant, the pillar projected a rune.
In the next moment, three consecutive runes were projected onto the Ninth Prince's body.
Those runes flickered with an earthen yellow luster and were extremely mysterious. A powerful Origin Energy and Soul Energy spread out in all directions, as if forming a storm!
Obtaining four runes in a row was far from the Ninth Prince's limit. In the next moment, six runes were projected from the pillar, and they all stuck to the Ninth Prince's body.
A total of ten talismans had all become the Ninth Prince's. Such a result was simply heaven-defying!
Furthermore, the light on the pillar flickered as if it had no intention of stopping. More runes were being prepared to be cast.
"Heavens, it's already ten talismans, and the Ninth Prince doesn't seem to have any intention of stopping!"
"As expected of the Ninth Prince, a rune genius. His talent is indeed different. To be able to obtain ten talismans from the pillar, such a result is simply heaven-defying!"
"As I expected, the Ninth Prince's result is the best so far in the competition!"
A series of exclamations could be heard from the audience. Everyone was deeply shocked!
A total of ten talismans. Such a result was extremely rare in the history of the Rune Competition. It was enough to see the Ninth Prince's talent in runes!
Buzz!
Suddenly, the pillar in front of the Ninth Prince projected three more talismans.
After the three talismans appeared, the light on the pillar dimmed.
Two seconds later, the dim light completely disappeared.
When the pillar lost its light, it meant that the Ninth Prince had reached his limit. There was no more room for improvement.
With a flash, the Ninth Prince turned around and prepared to leave the arena.
When he passed by Ye Qing, the Ninth Prince's face curled into a cold smile filled with mockery.
"Lao Siji, you should have seen clearly. Thirteen talismans. My result is not something you can hope to achieve!
You can only look up to me for the rest of your life! "
The Ninth Prince was full of confidence. He had absorbed thirteen talismans from the pillar. Such a result could be said to be world-shaking.
At the very least, such a heaven-defying result had never appeared in the Rune Competition in the capital for more than ten years.
Ye Qing stood with his hands behind his back. The smile on his face was very calm. He couldn't be bothered with the Ninth Prince.
Thirteen talismans was just a clown. It couldn't arouse the slightest bit of emotion from Ye Qing.
After the Ninth Prince's test was over, there were still many stunning geniuses who completed the test. Some of their results were not bad, even reaching the level of eight talismans.
In the crowd, a handsome and refined person stepped out and walked towards the pillar used for the test.
That refined youth was the Seventh Prince of the Dachu Empire.
Following the appearance of the Seventh Prince, cheers came from the audience seats.
In the hearts of the Dachu Empire's citizens, it was obvious that the Seventh Prince was more popular. In other words, the Seventh Prince was more popular.
The Seventh Prince had a faint smile on his face as he walked towards the pillar used for the test. He was two meters away from the pillar.
Suddenly, the pillar spun at high speed and emitted a resplendent light. Talismans flew out and landed on the Seventh Prince's body.
In just a short moment, ten talismans flew out. Furthermore, the pillar was still spinning at high speed and had no intention of stopping!
"Buzz!"
Seven more talismans flew out of the pillar that was spinning at high speed and landed on the Seventh Prince's body!
Immediately, the audience was shocked. The Seventh Prince's result was even more heaven-defying than the Ninth Prince's. The difference in talismans between the two was obvious!
Furthermore, the pillar was still spinning, but its speed was gradually slowing down.
In an instant, three more talismans flew out and landed on the Seventh Prince's body!
Altogether, there was a total of 20 talismans. The Seventh Prince's result was unprecedented, shocking everyone present!
In the VIP stands, the Divine Talisman Sect's Sect Master stood up, his eyes filled with admiration!
The Seventh Prince's performance was enough to obtain the Divine Talisman Sect's Sect Master's attention. If the Seventh Prince was willing to join the Divine Talisman Sect, he would have a high chance of becoming the next Sect Master in the future!
The Third Duke was shocked and couldn't help but stand up. He thought that the Ninth Prince's talent in talismans wouldn't lose to the Seventh Prince's. But now, it seemed that the Ninth Prince was still inferior and had been defeated by the Seventh Prince.
Under the shocked gazes of countless people, the Seventh Prince slowly left the competition stage.
Next, in the competition stage, a young girl in a pale yellow palace dress attracted the attention of many people. She was the Dachu Empire's Seventeenth Princess, and now it was her turn to take the stage!
