The Jin State's formation master team was the closest to the stage, and the Jin State's formation master team was also the largest, so Mr. Guo brought several formation master teams to score the Jin State's formation masters first.
There were a total of ten judges this time. For the sake of fairness, four judges from the four countries were selected as the chief judges. There were two judges from the Chu country this time, Tang Lao was the chief judge, and the other judge was Feng Yan.
Of the remaining five referees, there was one each from Yan and Zhao, and two from Jin as the host.
Princess Shengping is the most powerful formation master and also the direct disciple of Mr. Guo, so the four referees came to her position first.
The other six judging formation masters went to look at the works of other young formation masters. They first selected the formations with high difficulty coefficients and excellent formations that could get high scores, and then inserted a small flag to mark them. After a while, the four main referees would come over to give scores.
As referees, their skills were not low, especially the two from Jin, who were masters, and were about the same level as Elder Tang and Xu Yan. However, compared to Elder Guo, they were much worse, so the refereeing position of Jin did not fall to them.
The young formation masters participating in the competition used black pieces to set up the formation, and the referees used white pieces to break the formation. After a few fiddles, these six formation masters were able to basically determine the difficulty of the formation.
The contestants from Jin State had the most yellow flags inserted into them. Every young formation master who took part in the competition had at least two formations marked with yellow flags, and most had three.
Then it was the turn of the Yan State. The Yan State's formation master was not bad either. The genius formation master of Yan State was a young man named Luo Fan. There were nine Luo Fans in total, and all nine of them had small yellow flags inserted into them.
The formation masters who were taking a break in the audience could not help but discuss it: "Luo Fan is so amazing! All nine formations are high-difficulty formations! I wonder how many points he will get? I guess it will not be less than 70 points."
"This time, the person who has the greatest hope of competing with Princess Shengping of Jin for the championship is Luo Fan. Princess Shengping has just set up ten formations, and we don't know how many of them are difficult." Because the four referees are scoring Princess Shengping's formations, there is no need to raise the yellow flag, and no one knows.
"Of course, all ten of them are high-difficulty formations. I guess Princess Shengping will be able to get more than 80 points in the first round."
"So, Princess Shengping is sure to take first place!"
... ..
The people in the audience were talking about it.
While the referees are scoring, the formation masters participating in the competition can leave their seats to rest, eat something, and prepare for the next competition.
So after selling the expensive mung bean soup, Shen Hanyu started buying expensive meals.
Three dishes, one soup and a bowl of chilled lotus seed and white fungus soup, each costing fifty taels, guaranteed to be made by the imperial chef of Jin State!
All the formation masters were not short of a little money, so everyone was willing to pay for it.
Chu Tiankuo had already bought one for each of the formation masters of the Chu State. The one for Xingnong was specially prepared by Shen Hanyu, and no money was collected.
But Chu Tiankuo’s portion was also specially prepared by Shen Hanyu, and he took one thousand taels from him!
Xing Nong came and sat down next to Chu Tiankuo: "If I had known the weather was so hot, I wouldn't have detoxified. I feel like I'm going to get a heat stroke!"
From the original owner's memory, she never sweated in the summer! Because even under the sun, she didn't feel hot.
Chu Tiankuo took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, then opened his folding fan and fanned her: "Let it cool for a while, then eat something."
"Do you have iced mung bean soup?" She wanted to drink more, and she wanted something cold.
"There is iced watermelon juice." This is the watermelon in the creation space. Last night, Chu Tiankuo took one and squeezed juice, then chilled it and put it in the space, preparing to give Xingnong some cool water to cool him down today.
Xing Nong's eyes lit up: "Let me drink something first."
Chu Tiankuo gave it to her.
Zhang Ruohua was sitting at the back and watched this scene. She felt a little sad. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was such a kind person, but he was taken advantage of by a vixen!
After drinking the watermelon juice, Xingnong finally felt better and started to eat.
Shen Hanyu prepared too much food for her and she couldn't finish it. Then she ate while sharing some with Chu Tiankuo.
Chu Tiankuo's meal was very small, a small sea cucumber, a sea urchin, a small abalone, a spoonful of shark fin with a golden spoon, and a bowl of scallop and ginkgo porridge, a very small bowl, and that was it! The plates and bowls were made of gold, so they were worth one thousand taels.
Zhang Ruohua couldn't bear it any longer: "Princess Xingnong, how can you feed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince the food you've eaten! The food is all stained with your saliva, you're disgusting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Xing Nong ignored her and only asked Chu Tiankuo: "Is it disgusting?"
"No, it's delicious, eat quickly. Don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping." After saying that, he picked up a piece of the food that Xingnong had put in his bowl and put it into his mouth.
Zhang Ruohua: “… ..”
Xingnong didn't have much appetite and finished his meal quickly.
Seeing this, Chu Tiankuo asked, "Are you full?"
"Yeah." Xing Nong nodded.
Then he took the tray in front of her and finished off the leftover food from Xingnong.
Zhang Ruohua: “… ”
The formation master beside him: “… … ..”
~
After Xingnong had his meal, the Yan team had also put up their small yellow flags. Their strength was slightly weaker than that of Jin, but only one table had one small yellow flag, while most of the others had two, and some even had three or four.
After Yan, it was Chu's turn. At this time, six referees on the stage walked to her table.
Princess Xingnong of Jin, the Crown Princess of Chu! The person who set up the most formations in this competition! This amazing identity, let everyone wait and see!
A quarter of an hour later, the six formation masters left Xingnong's table without putting down a single small yellow flag.
“Pfft…” Some people wanted to laugh, but when they thought about the fact that Xing Nong was a princess of Jin, and that the tyrant of Jin was not someone who was easy to mess with, and Chu Tiankuo was not someone who was easy to mess with either, they quickly shut their mouths.
Everyone turned their heads to look at Xingnong. Xingnong had no appetite to eat. At the moment, she was holding a plate of strawberries, eating them one by one with relish!
She didn't seem to care at all about the small yellow flag on the stage.
No one dared to discuss Xing Nong, because there were people from Jin all around her! And next to her sat the Crown Prince of Chu.
You dare not discuss it, but you can criticize it in your heart, or even use internal energy to transmit your thoughts.
"There's not even a yellow flag. This has never happened before!"
"I guessed it a long time ago. I heard that this Jin princess has only learned the formation for a few months! Tsk, Chu State has seven people participating in the competition this time. Will all of them be without the little yellow flag this time?"
"It will be embarrassing if there is no yellow flag score! It will be embarrassing in front of the other three countries!"
"The Chu State is used to losing face! They are not afraid of it!"
"No, there's a little yellow flag!"
At this time, two small yellow flags were inserted on Wen Yuanqian's table.
