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

The group stage finally began. The rules of the competition were quite simple. Each appraiser entered the examination hall in turn and identified the designated antiquities within the specified time. The whole process was divided into five times, one hundred people were eliminated for the first time, fifty people were eliminated for the second time, thirty people were eliminated for the third time, twenty people were eliminated for the fourth time, and the top two were determined according to the ranking last time.

Therefore, the difficulty of these five assessments is definitely different. During the entire assessment process, there is a full monitoring process and there is no way to fake it. Therefore, Zhan Yi of the appraiser association will control the competition in such a very obvious way, otherwise he will be hacked directly.

As a senior appraiser, Liu Yang is the fourth to enter the examination hall. At first glance, these five collections were all antiques from a thousand years ago. Although they looked inconspicuous to Liu Yang, he vaguely understood that Zhan Yi wanted to keep him out by increasing the difficulty.

It’s just a pity that his idea went into a misunderstanding from the beginning. After all, for most people, the older the antiques, the more difficult it is to identify, especially those appraisers with less qualifications, who will not have much experience, but his strength lies in the gap of this thousand years.

Looking at the examiner in the hall with a smile on his lips and looking at him with some complexity, Liu Yang did not hesitate at all and wrote the origin and usage of these five collections on Guangming.

After writing, he turned his head and looked at the surveillance camera, and a slight smile appeared on his face. This is what smile was for Zhan Yi to see.

In the next session, the collections exhibited were indeed antiques from a thousand years ago. However, because there were too many people participating in the competition, two hundred people took turns to enter the examination hall, and the first competition alone took a day.

So the whole game lasted for three days. After the fourth game, there were only ten people left in Liu Yang's group. This time, ten people entered the last examination hall at the same time. There was a table in the center of the hall with a black cloth covering it.

But what Zhan Yi wanted to see did not happen. Liu Yang walked all the way to the end, and the other three senior appraisers were naturally there. The remaining six were all ordinary appraisers. As he passed the exam every time, Zhan Yi's face would get darker.

Standing in the wide examination hall, Yuan Ping and Lin Wanqiu stood together and exchanged glances with each other. Both of them were around 60 years old. Yuan Ping was not tall, just over 1.6 meters tall, and looked very thin. Lin Wanqiu was very fat. These two people formed a sharp contrast.

Zhu Zijian stood alone on one side, with a bit of hideous aura on his face, which was black and strong, and looked quite a bit disgusting, like a fierce Zhang Fei.

Yuan Ping leaned into Lin Wanqiu's ear and whispered: "This young man is not simple. I almost couldn't recognize the two antiquities in the last level. If I hadn't learned about that period of history before the competition, I would have basically not fully recognized. And the ordinary appraisers behind us can basically recognize two collections from the second level. Even if they pass, this young man is not just a mess as Long Zhanfei said. Therefore, this transaction is not easy to do, and such a young man will definitely have a bright future."

Lin Xiaoqiu nodded, and a bit of solemnity flashed across his face: "I regret this transaction. There is an antique in the fourth level that I didn't recognize, only four of them. Zhu Zijian is actually hiding deeply and the identification speed is very fast. It seems that it is difficult to deal with this time, but if it is screwed up, it will be difficult for President Long to hand in the deal."

"Don't worry, Zhan Yi has everything arranged. The last few antiques are extremely unpopular. According to what he said, even Chief Wang of the Appraiser Association and his teacher found it difficult, so I believe that no one of us will recognize it. If this is the case, according to the rules, the ranking rights will be handed over to Zhan Yi. Even if he ranks Liu Yang tenth, no one will say anything."

Yuan Ping's eyes flashed across Liu Yang's face, and there was a faint sneer on the corner of his mouth. No matter how much glory he carries, the youngest senior appraiser in history could not escape the fate of failure this time.

The higher you climb, the harder you fall. Many geniuses are unable to recover because of this setback. Therefore, a real genius does not look at the moment of glory, but at the development of a lifetime.

Liu Yang was still smiling gently at this time, with the corners of his mouth raised, mixed among the ten people, making him look quite outstanding. After all, he is too young. Even the six ordinary appraisers who reached the last were all over forty years old.

An intermediate appraiser walked out of one side of the hall. He was not old and looked in his thirties. This was extremely rare, so he felt a sense of pride on his face.

"Master Yuan, Master Lin, Master Zhu, and you all have ordinary appraisers. I believe you have benefited a lot from this point. The last level will be hosted by me. My name is Zeng Mingzhi. Like the previous rules, this level is directly evaluated by everyone. The answer is sent directly to our appraiser association through the light brain. The entire competition process is not controlled by us. We don't know the answer for this last antiquity. Only the three chiefs of our association know it. The competition time is two hours. You can also check the information, so it's time to start now."

The intermediate appraiser said with a smile, but his respect was only directed at Yuan Ping, Lin Wanqiu and Zhu Zijian even ignored Liu Yang and even classified him as ordinary appraisers.

All the ordinary appraisers present were stunned and looked at Liu Yang, but he still looked calm, without a look of unhappiness, as if he had not heard Zeng Mingzhi's words, and no one knew what he was thinking.

It was just secretly that Liu Yang's hands were tightly clenched, and a hint of coldness appeared in his heart. But now he was at the assessment site. If he had a stutter, he might be directly deprived of the exam qualification. Perhaps this was also a trap created by Zhan Yi and a group of people.

If he is eliminated because of this, then no matter how much grievance is, no one will know the truth. Most people only care about the result but not the process. This is reality.

So he held back, but this time he knew that he would fight back when he was indifferent to him, and he would revenge him if he had any grudges or revenge.

Zeng Mingzhi glanced at Liu Yang with a slant, and then pulled away the black cloth behind him with force.

There are only two antiques below the black cloth, both of which are installed in tempered glass cabinets.

Liu Yang's eyes shrank, and there were only two antiquities in this level, which seemed extremely difficult, which was completely different from the previous rules.

This was obviously also because of him that the rules were revised. Perhaps these two antiquities were OK even if they were placed in the finals, but here, Zhan Yi's original intention should be to make everyone recognize it. In this way, the final ranking rights fell in his hands. Even if he ranked Liu Yang in the last place, no one would have any objections.

He took a deep breath and his eyes fell on the first collection. This was a silver dollar, which was Yuan Shikai's avatar, which was Yuan Datou in the past. There were not many such ancient artifacts from the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China in this life, and there were definitely not many people who knew them.

The second thing is an extremely remote thing, it is a bluestone trough, which is a bit like a manger, but the size and depth are completely wrong.

This trough looks quite clean, but it is full of traces of time. It is extremely mottled at the corners, and there are even a lot of tooth marks on it, which are obviously bitten by animals.

After looking carefully for a while, Liu Yang faintly realized that with this height and slenderness, this should be the pig trough that was fed to pigs in the past, but such things were no longer common even a thousand years ago, and there were not many people who knew this thing in that era.

The faces of the other nine people flew past the corner of his eyes, and everyone looked quite confused. No one started writing something on the light brain, but someone was looking up the information, but shook his head while checking it.

These two things are too rare. The Yuan Datou may be recorded in historical classics, but it is unlikely that this pig trough will be recorded.

Liu Yang's heart moved, and he pretended to look down and looked up information, with a look of bitter thoughts on his face.

He didn't want people to know the origin of these two things. In this last scene, he was always worried that Zhan Yi would arrange other means.

When Liu Yang lowered his head to check the information, Zeng Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and a sneer flashed through his eyes. Yuan Ping and Lin Wanqiu were also paying attention to Liu Yang. Seeing his annoyed look, he looked at each other, and then relaxed and began to check the information.

He repeatedly looked at the information on the light brain several times. During the whole process, he did not find any abnormalities. He was standing under the camera. In addition, there were three chiefs online at the appraiser association, so he slowly relaxed.

In the middle, he tried to send an incorrect message, but there was no abnormality. At this time, there was still ten minutes left to end the group stage. Zeng Mingming had already started to turn around and pack up his things, so he sorted out the information of these two things, put them into a document, and sent it directly to the appraiser association.

After he had transferred the documents, he was still standing there looking up the information, looking as if nothing had happened, with a look of annoyance.

The last few minutes passed like this, and the ringing in the assessment hall rang, and everyone shook their heads and straightened their backs at the same time.

Zeng Mingzhi pulled the black bra and covered them with these two antiques. Then he turned around and faced the ten people. He first sneered at Liu Yang, and then said, "Okay, now the competition is over. Next is the final preliminary and finals. Please wait for ten minutes here. The three of us chiefs will give the test results on the spot. Then we will rank them according to the results. The top two directly enter the next stage of the competition, and the others can only go home. Just now, each of you posted three appraisal results, and it seems that they are not very accurate. However, Master Yuan, Master Lin and Master Zhu only once, they must be sure to win. Unlike some people, they can't do it at critical moments. They post twice in a row. I can't even understand the content of the first time, so I was not interested in reading it this second time. It seems that the result of this time is obvious."
