Zhang Xiaoyuan looked around. Although there were no soldiers guarding the area, the elves on the outer edge were responsible for guarding it, and they were stronger than the soldiers outside.

"Zhang Xiaoyuan, are you alright?"

Ci Nianyun waved her hand in front of Zhang Xiaoyuan and found that Zhang Xiaoyuan was distracted.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

Zhang Xiaoyuan snapped out of her daze, waved her hand, and looked at the contestants who had passed.

Besides him, there are thirteen other contestants, three of whom are human.

Of the remaining alien races, three came from the towns below and seven came from the Elf City.

Among the alien races was an acquaintance of Zhang Xiaoyuan, Wu Xiao of the Thorn Turtle Clan, who had passed the Kro City assessment with him.

Wu Xiao's tortoise shell was covered with dense, flowing light patterns, which were medicine given to him by the elves to help him recover from his injuries.

"The second round of assessment will begin in half an hour. Please prepare accordingly."

The elven elder stepped forward again, his eyes kind and his face adorned with a gentle smile, making him completely unrecognizable as the same scoundrel old man from before.

"What is the second round of assessment? Does this mean there will be a third round after the second?"

"That's too much trouble. I'd rather just crush them one by one!"

"You cripple, what are you so arrogant about? I'll kick your good leg to pieces later!"

"you wanna die!"

……

Just as a conflict was about to erupt, the elder elven coughed lightly and slammed his wooden cane heavily on the ground.

"Silence! Anyone who disrupts the order will be immediately disqualified from the competition and eliminated!"

……

Zhang Xiaoyuan also received healing medicine, but Ci Nianyun had already stuffed it into his mouth, otherwise he wouldn't have woken up so quickly.

"Zhang Xiaoyuan, you must go all the way! If you don't know what item to choose as your reward, I'll help you choose!"

Ci Nianyun's big eyes sparkled. Through her conversation with Xue Lu, she had learned about even more amazing beauty products, and she was incredibly excited.

"There are so many people here who are better than me, how could I possibly become the champion? Don't be ridiculous, I'd be lucky to get a participation prize."

Zhang Xiaoyuan didn't plan to stand out anymore; he was content with just getting second place. Otherwise, what if another statue took over his body?

"Hehe, I know your strength, and you have a very high chance of winning the championship."

Ci Nianyun smiled happily, counting on her fingers, muttering to herself which beauty filter to choose, or rather... should she have them all?

Gululu...

Zhang Xiaoyuan felt hungry. Looking around, she noticed that the familiar flattering voices were gone, and she felt a little uneasy, as if something was missing.

Meanwhile, in front of the elven capital, a dark-skinned human boy was explaining things to the capital's guards.

The guards ignored him and told the human boy that the competition had already begun and that latecomers would be automatically eliminated.

"Holy crap, who wants to participate in the competition? If it weren't for my brother Yuan competing inside, I wouldn't want to go in at all."

With a dark expression, Ishida limped away, cursing and swearing.

He didn't let the guards hear him, or he would have been thrown even further.

"That elven steward said that I could enter by telling the guards my identity as a contestant, but that's not how it works at all. Damn it, what a load of bull!"

Ishida grunted twice, waited for a while, and finally decided to walk down the street.

Since I can't cheer Yuan Ge on or offer him any encouragement, I might as well learn a few more dishes here so that Yuan Ge won't get tired of eating his food in the future.

……

"The person you wanted has passed the test, so you should give me the things now."

In a dimly lit underground chamber, a hoarse voice, trembling slightly, suddenly rang out.

If Zhang Xiaoyuan were here, she would definitely recognize that the voice belonged to Robin, whom they had escorted.

"The time was too short to see anything."

Then another voice rang out, gentle and melodious, like a spring breeze that could soothe the restlessness in the hearts of young people.

However, Robin remained unmoved, and her tone even became a little agitated.

"Hmph, the only commission I accepted was to bring the humans here to pass the inspection; I'm not responsible for anything else!"

"Besides, you wouldn't want your secret dealings to be exposed to the public, would you, Your Highness!"

Robin emphasized the last four words, letting out a low, cold laugh.

"But the people below say you brought too few people," the elven princess said calmly.

"Ha, what use are so many weaklings? I'll keep only the talented ones, that's enough."

"So what if other waste brings in a lot of humans? And how many of them actually pass the test?"

I'm saying it one last time, give me the stuff!

Robin opened his mouth, his body trembled involuntarily, and a red glint flashed in his eyes.

"Your bloodlust is too great; you will perish sooner or later." A look of disgust flashed across the elf princess's face. With a flick of her slender, white hand, she tossed out a small green bottle.

Gudu Gudu!

Robin drank it down in large gulps, his body trembling more intensely.

Although Robin's expression began to contort and contort in extreme pain, a low, maniacal laugh escaped his throat, as if mocking the elven princess sitting on the other side.

"a ha ha ha……"

……

Half an hour passed quickly.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhang Xiaoyuan was able to sort out what had happened earlier.

The elven statue tried to possess his body, which resulted in the awakening of the consciousness of the calico cat that had somehow taken over his body.

The two fought, and the elven statue lost, was reduced to its original form, and became a miniature statue the size of a fist, its consciousness also destroyed.

The calico cat's consciousness energy was exhausted, and it also disappeared from his body.

However, Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't be sure about this. Maybe the calico cat was just saying it to fool him, since he hadn't felt anything about the consciousness hidden inside him before.

"It seems I should avoid dealing with strange and unusual things in the future, or I won't even know how I died."

Zhang Xiaoyuan shook her head in distress and looked at the miniature elven statue in her backpack.

[The remains of an ancient elven warrior, containing the essence of his bloodline and spirit, await nourishment to revive him. High-grade material.]

"Hmm? It's actually a high-grade material, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. It's such a waste."

Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't help but complain that these high-grade materials were not as useful as the mid-grade materials.

However, he then remembered what the calico cat had said before it lost consciousness: "Let me use it first. Could there be other unknown ways to use it that he is waiting to discover?"

But there wasn't even a hint. Isn't this deliberately making things difficult for people?

"The only thing we can try to activate is something related to the Elven race."

Zhang Xiaoyuan sighed and walked forward.

Because the elder of the elven race stood up and began to announce the rules for the second round of the competition.
