Chapter 1049: Be extra careful
Su Chenyin frowned slightly and responded in a low voice: "The token of the Blue Temple is indeed a good thing. It can bring us some convenience, but we can't rely on it completely."
"I always feel that things are not that simple. The forces in the Tianyuan Realm are complicated. Although the Blue Temple is powerful, it may not be able to protect us."
Lu Yanchen nodded on the side, indicating that he agreed with Su Chenyin's opinion.
His voice was low and steady: "My cousin is right. Our top priority now is to concentrate on preparing for the competition and improving our own strength. As for recruiting the Blue Temple, it won't be too late to make a decision after the competition is over."
"But, brother, cousin, I always feel like we've been targeted." Lu Ziche looked around and touched his nose with some concern.
"Feel it carefully, especially in the audience, some people looked at us like hungry wolves, wanting to eat us alive."
As Lu Ziche spoke, he shrank his neck unconsciously, as if those gazes had turned into actual threats.
Chu Moxiao patted Lu Ziche's shoulder gently: "Junior Brother Lu, don't worry. As long as we are closely united and work together, what can those people do to us?"
Mu Xin also echoed Chu Moxiao's words: "Yes, we have come this far and experienced so many ups and downs. Are we still afraid of these people's calculations?"
Su Chenyin nodded in agreement, his eyes firm: "That's right, as long as we are strong enough, no matter what kind of conspiracy or trick we face, it will not be able to shake us."
At this moment, there was a slight commotion in the originally quiet rest area.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to that direction at the same time, and they saw several Blue Temple disciples dressed in blue walking in like flowing clouds and water.
He Zhi, who was in the lead, was tall and straight, and his blue and white disciple uniform danced in the wind.
He Zhi's eyes were like two searchlights, scanning back and forth among the crowd.
Wherever his eyes passed, people couldn't help but feel the pressure of being scrutinized.
However, when his gaze finally fell on Su Chenyin and others, his originally serious face suddenly broke into a smile as warm as the sun.
He walked towards Su Chenyin and others step by step with steady steps.
The attention of the surrounding contestants was drawn to him, and they were whispering to each other.
"Look, that's He Zhi, a disciple of the Blue Temple!"
"Why is he so close to Su Chenyin and the others?"
"Is there any special relationship between them?"
Various speculations and questions arose among the crowd.
He Zhi walked up to Su Chenyin and the others and stood still, his tone gentle but with a hint of solemnity:
"Dear fellow students, please check the token that the registrant gave you when you signed up for the competition to see if there is an extra number on it?"
Su Chenyin was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then took out the token from his waist.
The token is light blue in color and engraved with exquisite patterns and her name.
She lowered her head and took a closer look, and indeed found an extra string of numbers on the back of the token - 3247.
"Brother He, there is indeed an extra number." Su Chenyin looked up at He Zhi in confusion, "My number is 3247, what does this mean?"
Mu Xin on the side also hurriedly took out his token and turned it over to check.
When he saw the number "3254" on it, he was also surprised and muttered to himself: "My number is 3254!"
Lu Ziche took out a token from his waist and muttered, "Mine is 3258... What is this number for? Is it for the draw?"
He Zhi looked at the different reactions of Su Chenyin and others, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He shook his head and explained, "This is not the number drawn in the lottery. This is the order in which you just passed the talent aptitude test."
After that, he turned his gaze to Su Chenyin: "Junior Sister Su, your number is 3247, which means you are the 3247th person to pass the test."
After a pause, seeing that everyone looked confused, he continued to explain: "This number is not only the order in which you passed the test, but also the number of the next practical competition."
"However, the order of the competition is not based on these numbers, but is determined by drawing lots. At that time, the person with the number drawn will go on stage to compete, one-on-one."
Su Chenyin and the others suddenly realized what was going on and nodded to show that they understood.
"So that's how it is. Thank you so much, Brother He, for clearing up our confusion." Su Chenyin said gratefully.
Mu Xin looked at He Zhi with curiosity and asked, "Brother He, since the talent and aptitude test is over, can we leave now? Also, when will the actual combat competition start? Is it tomorrow?"
He Zhi smiled slightly and said in a gentle tone: "Junior sister, you can leave now. However, the actual combat competition will not start tomorrow."
"Because there are so many people participating in the 'Primordial Saint Trial' this time, we will continue with the talent and aptitude test tomorrow, so the actual combat competition will not officially begin until the morning of the day after tomorrow."
His speaking speed is neither fast nor slow, which makes people feel very comfortable and at ease listening to him.
After hearing what He Zhi said, Mu Xin showed a hint of disappointment on his face.
She grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Ah? We have to wait until the day after tomorrow... I was so excited that I thought I could show off my skills on the field tomorrow!"
He Zhi looked at her slightly anxious expression and couldn't help but find it a little funny.
He comforted her softly, "Junior sister, don't be too anxious. The preparation time before the competition is very important."
"You can take advantage of these two days to adjust your condition and be fully prepared for the actual competition."
Su Chenyin raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Thank you, Senior Brother He, for your reminder. We will definitely do our best and live up to your expectations."
He Zhi smiled and nodded, and said slowly: "Junior Sister Su, I have seen your strength and talent, so I am confident in your performance in the competition. I believe that you will be able to shine in the arena and achieve excellent results."
"However," He Zhi suddenly lowered his voice and his tone became more serious, "There is one thing you must pay more attention to."
"Just now, I accidentally discovered that many forces are secretly eyeing you. So, after you leave this test site, you must be extra careful and cautious."
"If you unfortunately encounter any difficult problems that are difficult to solve, do not be stubborn. Remember to use the token given to you by the elders in time to seek help."
A hint of worry flashed in He Zhi's eyes, and he looked around vigilantly.
