Chapter 426 - Jiang Miaoyus Meeting with Her Master (1/2)
“Gu Shaoyu!”
As the host called the name, a young man with big eyes, who looked particularly energetic and wore fashionable sportswear, got up and went to the challenge stage.
Below the stage, people were talking.
Gu Shaoyu was the son of the Gu family of Jiangdong—one of the four prominent families.
This name and even the family name alone was enough to attract everyone’s attention.
“Gu Shaoyu is good at using finger needles.”
After a brief introduction, the competition began.
Like Leng Wenzhuo, Gu Shaoyu from one of the four well-known families also defeated his opponent in a second without hesitation.
Following them were Li Sanxiao, who was good at herbal medicine from the Li family of Huainan, and Chen Ziju, who was good at scraping and cupping therapies from the Chen family of Luoxi.
These two people were also ridiculously strong.
They still chose opponents at random and defeated them in a second.
Everyone present was shocked.
Although the four prominent families were very famous, no one expected that their family members could be so powerful.
However, the four people were far from alone.
A person named Luo Jie also attracted everyone’s attention, because he wanted to challenge the people from the four families first and then challenge Fang Qiu, but he didn’t expect that they were all chosen ahead of him.
This person’s questions were quite strange, and his opponent couldn’t understand them at all.
The best part was the duel between the other two.
One was Wang Shijie, and the other was Yang Hutao.
Both of them passed the preliminary with full marks, and they were both very strong. Moreover, Yang Hutao was still a student.
Before that, when everyone was studying their opponents, they had already studied the two.
They found that both of them were very strong, so they habitually left them aside and didn’t choose any of them.
To their surprise, the two actually met!
The duel began.
Everyone paid special attention to them.
Both of their questions were very difficult to answer, and many people present could not give the correct answers.
However, a few minutes later, both of them answered the three questions correctly and walked into the safe zone together.
The competition continued.
Strangely, in the following matches, there were actually several embarrassing situations in which both contestants were eliminated in a row.
In the end, the number of people eliminated in the first round exceeded the expected number of 50, reaching 59.
The 41 people who entered the safe zone were all confirmed to advance to the next round.
To gather another nine people, the 59 people in the elimination zone began to enter the second round of the competition and answered the questions in the one-to-one fashion to determine the final nine contestants who would go to the next round.
The competition didn’t end until three o ‘clock in the afternoon.
In the end, Zhang Yalong, who was defeated by Jiang Miaoyu, also successfully advanced to the next round. When he entered the promotion zone, he deliberately glanced at Fang Qiu, as if to tell Fang Qiu that he would revenge himself on him!
“The recording is over.”
The director turned off the cameras.
He stood up and shouted to everyone with a megaphone, “The next recording will be held two weeks later. Then, the program will record the third episode, eliminating 20 people out of 50, and the fourth episode, eliminating 10 people out of 30. The program group will inform you next week about the specific rules and time of the competition.
“You’ve all worked hard.”
Director Li Huawen bowed to everyone and said, “There are drinks and mineral water for everyone. When you leave, you can take one bottle with you.”
Hearing that, everyone left in a neat procession.
When they left, there was special staff to distribute water.
As a result, everyone wanted mineral water and no drinks.
After all, they were all doctors of Chinese medicine.
For them, there were all kinds of additives in the drinks, so they were indeed not as healthy as mineral water.
When they left, there were those who were happy, and there were those who were disappointed.
Because the promotion zone was far away from the exit to the stage, Fang Qiu and the other 49 contestants who advanced to another round were left at the end.
Seeing that the people present were nearly gone, Fang Qiu and Jiang Miaoyu got up and prepared to leave.
“Fang Qiu.”
But at this moment, a woman’s emotionless voice came.
Turning back, Fang Qiu found that it was Leng Wenzhuo.
“Hello, what’s the matter?” Fang Qiu asked with a smile.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Leng Wenzhuo directly reached out her hand and said, “You are very strong, but I wish I could see you more powerful. I also hope that by the time we get to the next recording, you will not hesitate to teach me.”
Hearing that, Fang Qiu hesitated for a moment and glanced at Jiang Miaoyu beside him. After getting permission, he shook hands with her.
“Wow, not bad.”
After Leng Wenzhuo left, Jiang Miaoyu grabbed Fang Qiu’s arm and said, “You’ve only met a few times, but this kind of cold-faced beauty has come to you voluntarily. It seems that our Master Fang is quite popular among women.”
“Of course.”
Fang Qiu chuckled and said, “If I am unpopular with women, will it not prove that you have bad taste?”
“Hmm?”
Jiang Miaoyu was stunned. She rolled her eyes at Fang Qiu and said, “You’re a good talker.”
As she spoke, the two walked out of the promotion zone.
However, they were immediately stopped by several people.
They looked up and found that these people were from the other three families except for the Leng family.
The three of them shook hands with Fang Qiu one by one, saying that Fang Qiu was very awesome and they wanted to have a good fight with him.
Obviously, after today’s competition, the juniors of the four families had already recognized Fang Qiu’s strength, but it was just recognition, far from admiration.
Then, in this recording, Luo Jie, Wang Shijie, and Yang Hutao—the three who had successfully attracted everyone’s attention, also came to Fang Qiu and said the same thing to him.
After the disturbance, Fang Qiu and Jiang Miaoyu were left at the end.
