This was the Interpreter Competition. Even with the Inner and Outer Universe cut off from each other, winning was no easy feat. Any star-level Spirit Interpreter was a valued guest of the major powers, yet so many had been eliminated here.
Before long, the rune Dao numbers around Delin faded from Lu Yin's sight. The second round was over. It had gone by quickly, but it had been brutal, eliminating many contestants. Only sixteen remained.
Of them, the one who had had the easiest time wasn't Cai Jianqiang, but Demp. He had barely come under attack, much to the displeasure of many watching from outside. Rumors spread that Demp had already been chosen as this year's champion.
Even the True Explanation Hall had heard the rumors, and Suo Haar's expression was grim.
Clearly, someone had deliberately spread the news. Otherwise, it couldn't have reached the True Explanation Hall so quickly.
When Delin returned to the True Explanation Hall, Suo Haar wanted to say something, but couldn't bring himself to. After all, Delin had ostensibly been helping him. If he wanted to become the association's president, he couldn't afford to offend too many people.
Mr. Jun found it strange. Was Delin one of Suo Haar's people, too? If so, she was terribly foolish.
The third round was moved to an altar ten thousand miles from the True Explanation Hall. Whenever something important happened, countless people on Taiyuan Star gathered at the altar. Taiyuan Star had been the headquarters of the Outer Universe's Spirit Interpreter Research Association since ancient times, and major events were generally related to the association. Over time, the altar had become a place where Spirit Interpreters came to worship and pray. At some point, many had begun visiting the altar to pray before interpreting an Original Treasure.
