Lan Tu and the other candidates stood in front of the table, when a bookish-looking man walked out from one side and said: "I am the judge responsible for this test. Now you will come up one by one to participate. Candidates who have not been called can practice at their own positions." "Prac...practice?"
Ding Dang couldn't help but widen his eyes, could it be that all these things were just for practice, and the real competition only had one table in front of the judges, this treatment...
At this time, the gongs and drums shook the sky, the martial arts competition on the stage had already begun, the audience's shouting voices rose and fell one after another. Although the stage was some distance away from here, they were all practitioners of martial arts after all, so their hearing was naturally better than that of ordinary people.
To them, these sounds were extremely noisy and made it impossible for them to calm down. This led some contestants to complain: "It's so noisy over there, how can we compete?" "Yes, judge, can't we change to a quieter place?"
The judge said sternly, "If you are disturbed by such a small voice, then you will surely fail and do not deserve to own the Jingyuan Pearl." Everyone listened and obediently closed their mouths, after all, offending the person in front of them would not be beneficial for any of them.
Lan Tu carefully observed the surrounding contestants and found that some people's faces were complacent, looking like they were experts in this area. Some people were a bit nervous and tense. This competition is not going to be easy... Lan Tu thought to himself, when the judge suddenly said loudly: "In order for the competition to be fair, this time the contestants do not need to focus on their piano skills."
In addition, each person must choose three items, and cannot choose less. This competition will use a scoring system, with each item worth 10 points. The total score of the three items will be added up later, and if there is a tie, we will draw lots to compare one of the items. Finally, regarding the chess game, each player's time limit is three incense sticks, and if they run out of time, they will automatically lose." "Three... three items!"
Moreover, playing chess also has a time limit!" The crowd murmured in discontent. The referee ignored them and flipped a switch behind him, causing a large frame to rise from the table in front of him. Upon seeing it, some people relaxed a bit.
Only the shelves were lined with various musical instruments, including pipa, sheng, flute, yangqin, suona, erhu, and sheng. This way, the contestants had a lot more room to showcase their skills, and many of them no longer looked tense.
The judge announced: "First, the first group, Sunday Five - Lan Shui!" Lan Shui walked up with a confident smile, bowed and said: "I choose pipa." The judge nodded, indicating to someone beside him to hand over the pipa to Lan Shui.
Lan Shui slowly sat down, gently plucking the strings. Each pluck was like a spring breeze flowing through the heart, making people feel carefree and joyful, and everyone was enchanted by it. Until the last note stopped, the judge finally opened his eyes, with praise in them, saying: "Not bad, not bad."
Lan Shui glanced to one side, only to see the judge on the other side writing a number on paper. Lan Shui said: "Next I choose a book." The pipa was removed from the table, and a sheet of Xuan paper was spread out in front of Lan Shui.
Lan Shui picked up her pen and wrote a few lines on the paper. After a while, she raised her head, put down her pen, and from start to finish, Blue Rabbit could see that Lan Shui had an air of confidence about her. The judges and referees walked forward to take a look, and the smile in their eyes deepened by several degrees.
Actually, Lan Shui only wrote a poem, roughly describing the scene of a young girl's first love meeting with her crush. Although it can't be said to be outstanding, the description of the girl's heart is very accurate. The other contestants all came forward to take a look, and some people felt inferior and left in a huff. In the end, Lan Shui chose painting, she was very smart, although her chess skills were not bad, but she didn't want to take risks, and playing chess only had winning or losing, winning was just winning, losing was just losing, although winning would be great, but the risk was too high. However, her painting skills were also good, and she got a relatively good score.
Lan Shui's outstanding performance made the other contestants even more uneasy. One by one, they went up to perform, some were also excellent, but some were really awkward. What was even more deadly was that someone pretended to faint, wanting the judges to "pity and cherish", but was ruthlessly exposed by the judges, who also coldly ridiculed him for a few sentences, making his face turn blue and white.
Lan Tu silently observed everything, and Dangdang beside her was getting anxious, saying to Lan Tu: "Lan Tu, what should we do? Do you...do you have confidence?" Lan Tu gently shook her head. Although she felt that her level was not below Lan Shui's, things in the world were unpredictable, and she really didn't dare guarantee it.
However, she had already thought of a countermeasure. The competition would only be refreshing and allow her to stand out if it was unexpected.
At this time, the judge announced: "Next group, Feng Huang Wu Guan's - Blue Rabbit!" "Blue Rabbit?!" As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and their eyes turned to Blue Rabbit. "Is she really Blue Rabbit?" "Will she really be the master of Yu Quan Palace?" "No way, why would Master Yu Quan come here!" Lan Shui narrowed her eyes and looked Blue Rabbit up and down.
Blue Rabbit seemed to have not heard what they said, and calmly walked up to the judge, with a faint smile on her face, saying: "Judge, I have a request, I hope to be able to perform my piano skills and painting at the same time." As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd suddenly burst into an uproar, even Dingdang was shocked.
"Unbelievable, she's actually going to take all three arts together!" "Yes, just one art makes me nervous, let alone three at once, can she handle it?" Lan Shui's gaze never left Blue Rabbit's body, coldly snorting in her heart. I'd like to see what you're really capable of!!!
