The black shadow man “1” met Lin Ran’s gaze for a moment, then turned away without any reaction in the meantime, except for that look that really surprised Lin Ran.
“Where the hell have I seen that look before?”
Lin Ran said to himself, but he could not remember where he had seen it before!
The match in the ring continued, and Mai Yang’s lapdog Gou Mou had successfully defeated his opponent!
Together with Mai Yang who also managed to advance later on, as well as the Fuyi Swordsman and so on, eventually when the second match was all over.
All the people Lin Ran was concerned about had successfully advanced to the third round, while on Mai Yang’s side, apart from him and Gou Mou, there were two people who had made it to the third round!
At this point in the tournament, everyone was nervous because the last 50 people left were the ones who would eventually take part in the final battle!
As for who would take the only two spots, it would depend on who could show off their skills in this final round!
“Alright, let’s move on to the third level!”
As the old man’s voice rang out once more, all eyes were immediately refocused on the front of the Heavenly Ranking Stone!
Lin Ran saw that the old man was standing in front of the Heavenly Ranking Stone at this moment, but he was holding a scroll in his hand.
Although the scroll hadn’t been opened yet, the aura emanating from it made him feel a burst of ancient vicissitudes, so it was obviously not a mundane object either!
“Go!”
The old man suddenly waved his palm, and in an instant the scroll in his hand was flung out directly towards the side, while the scroll quickly chopped open, and finally it was laid flat in front of the crowd.
The scroll was about ten metres long, and after it was unfolded, the contents of the scroll appeared in front of the crowd.
The scroll was engraved with a lot of pictures of landscapes, and it was clearly a scroll of landscapes.
“A landscape scroll! My goodness this is a landscape scroll!”
“Isn’t it, I didn’t expect that the Xue family would actually bring out all the landscape scrolls this time!”
“What an enviable sight!”
Upon seeing this scroll, a commotion immediately rang out around the area.
Lin Ran frowned slightly as he looked at it, this landscape scroll seemed to be an ancient object with a very ancient and vicissitudes aura!
And at this moment the reactions of the people around were telling of its extraordinary nature, except that he had never heard of this landscape scroll even after being in the Xue family for so long!
“Boss, I’ve previously heard Xue Dongyang talk about this Landscape Scroll, it’s a very important magic weapon of the Xue Family!”
Li Ba’s voice suddenly sounded out from the side.
“O?”
Lin Ran couldn’t help but take a few moments of interest at his words.
Seeing this, Li Baba was busy saying.
“It is said that within this landscape scroll is a small world of its own, once you are trapped within it, unless you are strong enough to directly break this landscape scroll, there is absolutely no way to get out!”
“I heard Xue Dongyang say that apart from his own strength, he has several important magic artifacts other than this landscape scroll!”
“And this landscape actually wouldn’t be taken out under normal circumstances!”
Speaking of this, Li Ba turned his head and looked around and said.
“This time, the Xue family brought out the landscape scroll, one of which is for qualification selection purposes, and this other fear is to deter certain people!”
Lin Ran nodded at his words.
It was true that Xue City was now in a state of darkness, on the surface there was the Mai family, a powerful enemy, and secretly there was the mysterious Master Fang who didn’t know what he was planning!
Compared to the prosperity of Dongqi City, Xue City is not much less complicated!
Because Xue Dongyang’s strength could not be compared to that of the East Flag King, the hidden agendas of some people within this Xue City would gradually be exposed.
“I just don’t know how this third level will actually go!”
Lin Ran said to himself in his heart, Xue Dongyang had revealed to him about the tournament before, but only the first two levels were mentioned, and nothing was said about the third level!
It wasn’t that Xue Dongyang was stingy, but a competition is a competition if he told Lin Ran everything, it wouldn’t be fair to the others!
“You all must know what this landscape scroll is, so I won’t say any more about it then, old man!”
The old man’s voice rang out again, and immediately, he saw his palm pointing followed by the landscape paintings on the scroll only as if they were alive, and one by one, they actually stood up.
Then a three-dimensional shadow was formed in front of the landscape scroll.
“It’s really a miraculous work of art!”
Seeing this scene, Lin Ran couldn’t help but feel astonished in his heart, as this scene in front of him reminded him of his hometown.
Although his hometown and the Immortal World were two completely different ecosystems compared to each other.
However, there were many similarities between the two in certain directions, for example, the shadow of the landscape scroll in front of him, if it was placed on Earth it would be a high-tech drop shadow!
But in the Immortal World, it was the ghostly work of a cultivator.
As Lin Ran was thinking in his mind, the old man was already speaking again.
“The first fifty people will need to enter this scroll, one place each, and a certain number of jade talismans will be randomly placed in each area within the scroll!”
“And all you have to do is to get as many jade talismans as possible, and the top two people with the highest number of jade talismans will be the winners of this qualification selection!”
With a wave of the old man’s palm, fifty red jade talismans appeared in front of him.
“If you feel that you have enough jade talismans or that your life is in danger, you can crush them and come out!”
“Otherwise, don’t blame others for your life or death!”
Hearing the old man’s words, the crowd couldn’t help but look pale, there was no limit to life and death within the scroll!
Wouldn’t that mean that once they entered the scroll, people with grudges would immediately face each other!
And most importantly, the number of jade talismans was random, which meant that some people would have fewer talismans where they were, while others would have more!
So the stronger ones would be the ones to grab the weaker ones!
With this kind of rule, it would undoubtedly speed up the scramble for the crowd and the race into the city a lot faster!
“This rule is really powerful, boss you have to be careful when you go in later!”
Li Ba warned from the side.
Lin Ran nodded at his words and then said.
“Don’t worry, each life and death within this scroll space will be in their own way, and I’m afraid that it will be quite intense, but likewise some of the weaker ones are afraid that they will also come out soon!”
Indeed, there is no shortage of weaker people among the top fifty, so those who will end up staying are feared to be well prepared for the snatch!
But in the end, it’s still a bit too early to say who will get the top two!
“Alright, everything that needs to be said has been said, let’s enter now!”
The old man swept his gaze over the crowd and said aloud.
And just as his words fell, a dozen figures instantly rushed towards him.
These people quickly arrived in front of him, waved their hands and took the red jade talisman, and immediately went straight for the landscape scroll!
Seeing this, Lin Ran also stopped delaying and got up and similarly rushed towards the old man.
In a flash, almost everyone went straight for the old man, and the red jade talismans in front of him were dwindling fast!
In just a few minutes’ time, all fifty red jade talismans had disappeared!
