The second update is to ask for votes and collect them. Also, I am very grateful to the seasons brothers. I finally have an apprentice.

*********************************

The group stage of the appraiser competition finally began. At this point, there were only 5,000 people left in each of the ten districts. The elimination ratio was quite high, and one of the twenty-two outs chose to come out.

However, in the group stage of the 5,000 people, only 50 people were left to participate in the final preliminary and finals, and the elimination ratio was even higher than that, and one person was selected from one hundred people.

Therefore, in the group stage, there have always been times when dark horses appear frequently. Sometimes ordinary appraisers will win, and even junior appraisers will be defeated, and some even intermediate appraisers will be defeated. Ordinary appraisers who occasionally reveal dark horses will become the focus of training for major antiquities research institutes in the following days.

However, no senior appraiser has been defeated, which also reflects the irreplaceability of level assessment. Senior appraisers themselves represent absolute authority. In terms of level assessment of appraisers, reaching the senior appraiser is considered to be at the peak.

The group competition was arranged by the appraiser association of the appraisers. There are 25 groups for every two hundred people, and each group only takes the top two. Therefore, this elimination rate can be imagined. Fortunately, the number of senior appraisers is quite small, and at this point, the appraiser association will also disperse the senior appraisers. All the senior appraisers participating in this competition are about 50, so basically only five in one district, and one group cannot even get one senior appraiser together.

At this point, all the senior appraisers of the Yanhuang Antiquities Research Institute were disbanded. In this area, Liu Yang was the only senior appraiser of the Yanhuang Antiquities Research Institute.

Behind him, the intermediate appraiser and junior appraiser who were also broken up, one intermediate appraiser and three junior appraisers.

Standing in front of the huge optical brain display screen, Liu Yang found the group he was in. He and the four appraisers behind him were from different groups, which was also the result of trying to avoid competition from his own.

In the two hundred people group he was in, everyone's names were neatly displayed in front of the screen, which looked like a dense feeling. After just taking a look, Liu Yang's eyes couldn't help but shrink.

The group he is in, not including him, actually has three senior appraisers. This is absolutely unusual, because according to normal circumstances, there are usually only five senior appraisers in a sub-segment area, and the five are not divided into the same group. The current situation is obviously the result of artificial adjustments.

After all, only two people qualify for one group, which will inevitably lead to the elimination of two senior appraisers.

But Liu Yang remained silent. He looked at the Antiquities Research Institute where the other three senior appraisers were located. Two of them belonged to the Longteng Antiquities Research Institute. This reminded him of Long Zhanfei. The last time Liu Yang stepped on him hard, which seemed to have caused him to lose all his face. This was due to Longteng's revenge.

The last person came from Xingyu, which first made him feel surprised, and then a little anger arose in his heart. It seemed that all this was coming to him.

The other four appraisers in Yanhuang obviously noticed this situation. The intermediate appraiser's face changed and he shouted directly: "It's not fair. There are only five senior appraisers here. Why are there four people in the same group? This does not comply with the rules."

The voice suddenly echoed throughout the competition field. Everyone looked carefully for a few times before turning their eyes to Liu Yang. Most people had a bit of sympathy in their eyes, and some people had gloating expressions. It was obvious that Liu Yang's youth made this group of people start to be jealous.

A rather cold voice sounded: "The competition is the competition, how can there be any rules? This is the result of our appraiser association. If you think it is unfair, you can complain to the people above us. But if you want to talk about the rules, as long as you can come up with the corresponding terms, I will adjust the list."

The intermediate appraiser was stunned at first, and then his face was extremely angry: "Sir Examiner, although there are no rules and regulations that it is clear that two senior appraisers cannot be allowed to be in the same group, the appraiser competition has been held for thirty-four sessions, and there has never been such a precedent, and no senior appraiser has been eliminated. If you do this now, you will inevitably eliminate two senior appraisers, which is a real loss."

"Since there is no explicit regulation, it is reasonable for me to make such arrangements. Moreover, this is also a encouragement for senior appraisers to show their abilities. Anyway, in the final, there are always people who cannot enter the top ten. Instead of not being able to do that at that time, it is better to be eliminated now. In the examination hall, I personally represent the wishes of the appraisers association. If you have any opinions, you can strike, but you can't question me."

The examiner is also a senior appraiser. He is very thin, about fifty years old. He has a goatee and looks quite cold. His triangular eyes look like a poisonous snake, making people feel particularly uncomfortable when they look at it.

When the intermediate appraiser wanted to say something, Liu Yang reached out to stop him, and showed his green smile and said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter. The road is always made by people. Even if it is unfair, it is not targeted by me. It seems that I have been underestimated. The three senior appraisers want to squeeze me out. Then I will rewrite history by eliminating the senior appraisers of Longteng and Xingyu. There will always be laughing stocks in history, but that must not be me."

After saying that, he bent down at the examiner and said, "Thank you, Lord Examiner for giving me this opportunity. This is indeed a spur to me."

The examiner's face turned blue when he heard Liu Yang's words, then he hummed heavily, turned his head and left.

"Teacher Xiao Liu, it's not like this. It's clear that someone is taking revenge. The two senior appraisers of Longteng, Yuan Ping and Lin Wanqiu, are called the strongest senior appraisers under the appraisal master. Although this is only a ranking within Longteng, they have their own strengths compared to Master Liang Song and cannot be ignored. The senior appraisers of Xingyu, Zhu Zijian, are of similar level. Their status in Longteng and Xingyu is comparable to Master Liang Song's status in our Yanhuang. They do this obviously want to squeeze you out."

The intermediate appraiser was anxious and whispered in Liu Yang's ear.

Liu Yang took a deep breath, and it seemed that Long Teng and Xingyu had really invested a lot in order to squeeze him out, but no one knew who would laugh to the end without the last step.

"What's the name of this examiner?" Liu Yang handed the intermediate appraiser a positive look, and the corners of his mouth were still raised, with too much pride.

"His name is Zhan Yi. He has never been popular in the appraiser association, but he is a disciple of one of the veteran appraiser associations. Therefore, his eyes have always been high. Teacher Xiao Liu, although this person is not a good person, you should try not to offend him. This person is called a poisonous snake and always wants to bite people secretly."

The intermediate appraiser sighed, knowing that there was no better remedy at this time, but he heard a little unusual smell from Liu Yang's words. It seemed that he did not want to let the examiner go, so he couldn't help but whisper to instruct him.

Liu Yang responded, then put his hands in his pants pockets, his waist was straight, and his eyes narrowed, but the cold air in his eyes never dissipated. Anyone who dared to underestimate him would have to pay the price. He is no longer the Liu Yang who can be bullied. He will revenge if he has grudges, and revenge if he has revenge.

This debate caused a whisper among the crowd, but there were only 5,000 people in the current competition site, so it seemed particularly empty, and the sound even had a bit of echo.

"It seems that Yan Huang, the youngest senior appraiser in history, is about to be upset this time. When you meet Master Yuan, Master Lin and Master Zhu, you will be squeezed out."

"You don't know, he offended someone who cannot be offended. Long Teng's Long Zhanfei is Long Xiaotian's grandson. He is regarded as a bright future, but he was hit by him when the appraiser was certified. It is abnormal to not fight back with Long Zhanfei's personality."

"God, that's really unfortunate. But hasn't Xingyu always been an ally with Yan Huang? Why did he join in?"

"Oh, it's because of Liu Yang's unluckyness. He met Mo Shaobai from Xingyu some time ago. The two of them had a grudge. The result is what you see. As long as the general direction of allies is not affected, even if there is a little friction occasionally, this is normal."

"But this is so irrelevant to the senior appraiser, how can it be considered a small friction?"

"It's nothing, you probably don't know yet. Mo Shaobai is the suitor of Hua Yuying, the current dean of Yanhuang. It is said that the two have agreed to each other's marriage. In this way, even if there is a senior appraiser, Hua Yuying will not turn against her fiancé. After all, it's all a family."

"Oh my God, Dean Hua, that noble and extraordinary woman, actually has a fiancé, is really disappointing me. But even so, it's enough to have two senior appraisers, so why bother three? Isn't this going to eliminate two senior appraisers?"

"I heard that this was the case, but Longteng felt that he wanted double insurance, so he sent another one. In this way, for Liu Yang, this was a real death match. For Longteng, they had three appraisal masters participating in the competition, so the top five were not as good as these senior appraisers. Even if they lost a senior appraiser, it would be within the scope of tolerance. And I also heard that the person who was eliminated would receive a lot of compensation. With Longteng's wealth and ambition, it might be a blessing in disguise if he was eliminated."

...

These kinds of discussions came into Liu Yang's ears one by one, but he always stood up and his thin and slender body stretched very long in the sun, but the smile between his eyebrows was as bright as he had never seen before.

Don’t think that he is easy to bully when he is young, don’t think that he is alone and has no power to fight back. The person who cried in the end of this battle must not be him.

At this moment, a trace of unspeakable soreness flashed through his heart. It turned out that the peerless Hua Yuying already had her own fiancé, and she was too blind to find a very uneducated family like Mo Shaobai.

Perhaps she is also such a person. The children of these aristocratic families have always been arrogant, but he will definitely prove it to everyone, and grassroots also have blood and energy.

Straighten your waist, tilt your head, walk over and look back, will these people still underestimate him like this?
