Meng Jingzhou: There's Something Fishy

The Phoenix Clan elder nodded. He had also entered the Ancient Realm of Creation when he was young and knew that with Jiang Shishi's State of Mind, it would be difficult for her to enter the third level, and she would most likely be eliminated.

Since she wasn't eliminated, it means that Jiang Shishi's State of Mind has greatly improved.

To become a qualified leader, personal strength is not enough; one must also be shrewd and learn to be shameless.

The chieftain of the Qiongqi tribe is the best at being shameless.

"Who's still missing? Jiang Shishi and Su Lian'er?" A Demon Race elder counted the number of people and noticed that the prodigies of the Phoenix Clan and the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan had not yet come out.

"No, there are two more people inside, with Jiang Shishi," Qin Feng shouted. Although he didn't know Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou's race or names, he would never forget their faces.

"Oh, following Jiang Shishi?" The Nine Infant Clan elder narrowed his eyes, noticing the problem.

"Elder Jiang Wei, this isn't right. We had an agreement that each clan could only select one person to enter the Ancient Creation Realm, but your Phoenix Clan sent three people?"

He is now eager to shift the blame, and according to Qin Feng's confession, the elimination of the Demon Race Clan Alliance's prodigies in the first round is inextricably linked to the Phoenix Clan!

"So what if three people go in?" Elder Jiang Wei sneered, completely unafraid. In terms of resources, the Phoenix Clan is the strongest race in the Demon Realm, and even the High Antiquity Emperor Jiang does not dare to control them for the time being.

The dragon race is divided into two branches, one in the Demon Realm and the other in the East Sea. Their resources are also divided into two parts. The dragon race in the Demon Realm cannot compete with the Phoenix race in terms of resources.

Elder Jiang Wei took the initiative to take on the matter, because he couldn't very well say that Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were human, and then, upon inquiring about their origins, that Ask Dao Sect.

If Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were both from the Phoenix Clan, it might be possible that they wouldn't fight, since the Phoenix Clan has always been domineering.

If you were to say that the two of them were from the Ask Dao Sect, I'm afraid every tribe watching the spectacle would want to get involved.

If Gan Tian sees that her family is being bullied and then calls Yun Zhi over, the fun will only get worse.

"The Phoenix Clan is truly domineering." The Taotie Clan, White Tiger Clan, and other Demon Race alliance tribes stepped forward to support the Nine-Headed Serpent Clan.

If we can seize this opportunity to severely damage the Phoenix Clan, we can win the favor of the High Antiquity Emperor Jiang.

"The Phoenix Clan is a large and powerful family, and they have two prodigies hiding in their ranks. It's alright for them to go in." The Dragon Clan elder stepped forward to support the Phoenix Clan.

He learned that Ao Yue had entered the second level with Jiang Shishi's help and obtained a spiritual fruit that could heal his hidden injuries. He felt he could not leave this kindness unpaid.

"I think it's understandable that the Phoenix Clan made an exception this time." The Jade Rabbit Clan elder stepped forward with a flick of his sleeve.

"I am a member of the Tengu clan..."

"My Baxia clan..."

More and more Demon Race are standing up to support the Phoenix Clan.

Apart from the members of the Demon Race Clan Alliance, all the Demon Race prodigies here have received help from the Phoenix Clan.

The third senior sister's eyes twitched when she "saw" this scene.

What were those two little guys doing in the secret realm? Why are these Demon Race all siding with the Phoenix Clan like they're under a spell?

This wasn't the scene when Master and the others entered the secret realm.

Lu Yang and his companions were teleported by Luo Hong to the third level. The third level was extremely dark, almost pitch black, and there was nothing else there.

Luo Hong took out four straw mats and flew them to the ground next to the dealer.

"Don't be nervous, sit down. The four of you have done very well in the first two levels. Even if you don't pass the third level, your rewards will be much higher than the others."

In the first tier of evaluation, Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, and Jiang Shishi are tied for first place in history.

The second tier of evaluations ranked Lu Yang the highest, followed by Meng Jingzhou, then Jiang Shishi, and finally Su Lian'er.

The overall ranking is the same as the second-tier ranking.

Lu Yang's score is the best in history, and Meng Jingzhou is the second best in history.

Lu Yang appeared the least nervous, sitting down as soon as he was told to.

The four people sat down.

"How about we bet on who gets the highest rating in the third round?" Meng Jingzhou winked at Lu Yang, trying to turn the tables.

"That's not good." Lu Yang said with a smile, and it didn't seem like he was doing anything "bad" at all.

Both of them are people who refuse to admit defeat.

What kind of bet is a sure win?

Seeing Lu Yang's smile, Meng Jingzhou knew he had agreed, so he asked again, "What's the reward for the winning side?"

"You say."

The loser must agree to one thing from the winner.

It's a deal!

Neither of them imposed any restrictions or limitations, such as requiring the request to be within their capabilities or moral boundaries. They both knew that the other's request was definitely within these limits, so there was no need to elaborate.

Luo Hong cleared her throat.

"As Demon Race, we must not forget history; you should learn from it and draw lessons from it."

"This third test will examine your understanding of the High Antiquity history of the Demon Race."

Lu Yang: "..."

Meng Jingzhou: "..."

There's something fishy going on here, what's the point of even competing?

Luo Hong, unaware of Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou's inner thoughts, continued following the procedure.

"After I ask a question, you can answer it yourself. A correct answer earns you one point, a wrong answer deducts one point, and no answer earns you no points."

"Considering historical changes, I will ask questions from the perspective of the Demon Race in the present world."

"Now, please listen to the first question: To which race do demon immortals belong?"

Jiang Shishi and Su Lian'er were both taken aback.

Who knows what race demon immortals belong to?

Many scholars among the Demon Race also study High Antiquity history, and there are many speculations about the true form of demon immortals. Should we just guess at one?

"The Demon Immortal does not belong to any race; he is the only Qilin in the world."

Lu Yang answered lazily, "This is a completely free point question."

Meng Jingzhou yawned, feeling utterly bored, and was already thinking about what to eat when he got back.

"Correct answer, one point."

Jiang Shishi and Su Lian'er looked at Lu Yang with surprise and doubt. Did he guess correctly, or did he already know the true form of the demon immortal?

Lu Yang thought to himself, "This is nothing. If you want to hear about Qilin Immortal's dark history, I could talk about it for three days and three nights without stopping."

Luo Hong was quite surprised; the answer to this question was remarkably fast.

The questions in the third layer are randomized; each test presents a different question, and she is only responsible for whether the answer is right or wrong, not for providing the correct answer.

"Second question: Did the Phoenix Clan's ancient ancestor force the demon immortal to use a sword formation? If so, please describe the scene from an objective and impartial perspective."

Jiang Shishi's eyes lit up. She might not know anything else, but how could she not know about the ancient ancestor of the Phoenix Clan?

Su Lian'er looked at Jiang Shishi with jealousy. Why didn't she ask about the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan?

Jiang Shishi excitedly raised her hand and said, "I know this! My Phoenix Clan's ancient ancestor once spoke the truth, suppressing the demon immortal so much that he couldn't lift his head and knelt on the ground with a thud. Under immense pressure, the demon immortal activated his sword formation, trying to resist, but still failed and was defeated!"

"This is the famous 'One Word Makes an Immortal Kneel'!"

"Based on my guess, this must have been a time before the demon immortal became an immortal."

Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense how a demon immortal could be defeated by the ancient ancestor of the Phoenix Clan.

"One point will be deducted for an incorrect answer."

"What?!" Jiang Shishi doubted she had heard correctly. This was a story she had heard from the clan leader, absolutely true and reliable. How could it be wrong?

Seeing that no one answered, Lu Yang sighed softly and said, "I'm not quite sure which specific matter you were referring to, senior. The only thing I'm certain of is that on the day the demon immortal returned home, the Phoenix Clan's ancient ancestor stared at the demon immortal and coldly asked, 'Which lover did you go to see?'"

Upon hearing this, the demon immortal's expression changed drastically. He drew his sword formation, knelt down on it with a thud, and swore to the heavens that he would never do it again, and that if he did, he would be struck by lightning.

"Correct answer, one point added."
