After being surprised, Ye Li did not hesitate and said, "Master Ku, my name is Ye Li, and my license number is one hundred and seventy-two."
After hearing Ye Li introduce himself, Pei Ku couldn't help but frowned and muttered silently: "Ye Li... Ye...?"
He thought for a long time but couldn't figure out which weapon-making family had the surname Ye. Therefore, he could only guess that Ye Li might have come from some organization similar to the Weapon-making Hall, because the apprentices and disciples here were all outsiders with all kinds of surnames.
From the beginning, he never thought that Ye Li was just an ordinary person from an ordinary family. After all, although the threshold for drawing external talismans is not high, it is not easy to lay a solid foundation for drawing.
It is very difficult for ordinary people from ordinary families to master the correct method. It usually takes a long time of practice and research to find the right path.
At Ye Li's age, it is obviously impossible for him to "practice and study for a long time", so it is possible that he was trained under the guidance of someone.
In fact, Ye Li did not practice and research to this stage on his own. He did have a guide, but it was not a person, but his natal talisman.
Whether he was making external talismans or drawing talismans himself, he always copied them based on the most standard talismans as templates.
It's like learning to write. If you always use a master's most standard calligraphy as a template and imitate it all year round, then even if you don't specifically learn advanced pen-holding techniques, in order to imitate the master's handwriting, you will slowly find the best way to use the pen.
Ye Li is in such a situation. Coupled with his powerful physical and spiritual strength, his perception and control of his fingers and wrists are far superior to ordinary people, which is why he can grow so fast.
After Ye Li reported his name, the remaining three also said their names one by one. However, Pei Ku didn't care much about them. After all, they were much older than Ye Li, and their foundation was not as good as Ye Li's. With such a level, they were lacking in both talent and acquired training.
“Well, congratulations to the four of you for passing the first two rounds of competition and advancing to the finals.
The final will be held at noon tomorrow, and the location will still be at the Fanlu Club, but it will no longer be in the hall, but on the open space outside. At that time, the master will personally set the questions for you to compete.
That's all for today. Foundry Hall thanks everyone for participating."
After saying this, Pei Ku nodded to everyone and walked straight out of the hall. Only the disciples from the Weapon Foundry Hall were left here to prepare to clean up the arena.
After Pei Ku left, the contestants also left the hall one after another.
After leaving the hall, Ye Li found that there were still quite a few people outside. It seemed that many competitions in other halls had already ended.
Just as he was about to walk towards the company's gate, a nasty voice suddenly appeared in Ye Li's ears.
"Oh, you really came to participate in the competition!
So, was he eliminated in the first round? "
Hearing the voice, Ye Li turned his head and saw that the person coming was indeed the fat man who had mocked him at the registration office before.
Ye Li Ye Li was very happy that she could successfully advance to the finals. But now when she suddenly saw this fat man, her mood suddenly became much worse.
"I'm really sorry, it seems I have to slap you in the face with the truth. I have entered the final tomorrow. Do you feel your face hurt now?"
Ye Li was extremely annoyed with the other party, so he didn't bother to be polite when speaking.
Hearing Ye Li say that he had entered the finals, the fat man surnamed Mo seemed to have suddenly bitten his tongue. An ugly expression appeared on his face, and all the sarcastic words in his heart were immediately held back.
He really didn't expect Ye Li to make it to the finals. In his opinion, Ye Li was just a young man who wanted to fish in troubled waters.
The thing he loved to do most in his life was to mock and attack others. He finally caught Ye Li and was about to continue his evil hobby, but he didn't expect to be slapped back by Ye Li.
After holding it in for a long time, the fat man’s face turned red before he spoke: “Don’t be so proud, little bastard.
It's good that you made it to the finals, so I can beat you myself. I want to see who gets slapped in the face tomorrow."
Perhaps because Ye Li had slapped him in the face with facts before, he felt a little aggrieved. After the fat man surnamed Mo finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the company without waiting for Ye Li to reply.
Ye Li looked at the fat man's back with a puzzled look on his face. In his opinion, this man was simply mentally ill and was causing trouble for him for no reason.
Shaking his head and not bothering to care about what the other party said, Ye Li left Fanlu Company.
After resting for a day in the inn, he arrived at Fanlu Company before noon the next day.
There were more people watching today, because the competition was held in the open space behind the entrance of the club, and those who watched the excitement only needed to stand outside the club to see the competition inside. After showing his number plate to the apprentice of the Foundry Hall, Ye Li entered the club.
The meeting room in the company was very large, with more than twenty tables already set up in advance. It seemed that after the two rounds of tests yesterday, nine-tenths of the people had been eliminated, leaving only one-tenth.
There were many apprentices from the Foundry standing around the table. In addition to helping with the competition, they also acted as supervisors to prevent cheating.
The only people under Ou Qianxie were his disciples and apprentices recruited by them, which together numbered no more than a hundred people.
You should know that although the Weapon Foundry Hall itself is not an organization or family of hegemonic nature and has a relatively small number of people, it was once as large as a third-rank family, and the total number of people in its branches across the continent added up to tens of thousands.
Now that the two brothers have separated, there are only about a hundred people left by Ou Qianxie's side, which is really too far behind.
When Ye Li was looking at the venue, an apprentice from the Foundry Hall came over and said, "Contestant, please show your number plate and I will take you to your seat."
After Ye Li nodded, he took out his brand and showed it to the other party.
The apprentice said, "Please follow me. Your seat is in the first row."
Then he led Ye Li to the front of the venue.
As he walked, Ye Li counted the number of tables here. There were twenty-five in total, and there were five tables in each row, for a total of five rows.
At this time, almost half of the people had arrived early, and more than a dozen people were standing in front of their tables. When Ye Li came over, they all looked at Ye Li.
After seeing that Ye Li was so young, most of these people were surprised and couldn't help but start to guess which weapon-making family Ye Li came from.
