super golden hand

Chapter 1203 There must be an inside story

Hong Lao stood up first, and glanced at the competition seats.

Every jade carving master who was seen by Mr. Hong thumped in his heart. Mr. Hong's eyes seemed to carry a lot of meaning.

Each of these participating jade carving masters has a lot of prestige in the local area, but they are still juniors in front of Mr. Hong. Although Mr. Hong has sealed his knives for many years, his prestige still exists.

Not to mention, Mr. Hong has also cultivated a large number of proud disciples.

"Be quiet, I will announce the result of today's competition!"

Mr. Hong spoke slowly, and the whole venue quickly fell silent. There were far fewer people speaking in the auditorium. Many people looked at the big screen, waiting for Mr. Hong to announce the result.

"Our twelve judges, after rigorous screening and evaluation, selected ten from today's 33 works. The owners of these ten works will directly advance to tomorrow's final..."

Hong Lao hadn't finished speaking, and the venue exploded.

Ten pieces, this means that only ten people advanced, and 33 people advanced ten. This elimination rate is too high, not worse than yesterday.

Those jade carving masters, many faces turned pale at this meeting.

With such a high elimination rate, many jade carving masters have begun to lose confidence. There are too many masters in this jade carving masters competition. Whether it is Qi Haiyang, Zhou Ye, or Heng Kai and Huang Hao, they are all masters stronger than them , these people will definitely advance. If they advance, it means that there will be fewer remaining places.

"Quiet, quiet, I haven't finished yet!"

Mr. Hong coughed a few times into the microphone, and the venue slowly fell silent.

"These ten works were selected by our judges. They are the best ten works. They can be promoted directly. In addition, our judges have selected fifteen good works, and today's audience will jointly select five works. Join us in tomorrow's final!"

After Mr. Hong finally finished speaking, many people looked at each other. The audience didn't know this, and they didn't expect that they also had the right to choose.

Mr. Hong shook his head and sat down. It was the decision of the organizing committee to select five people to advance to the stage. The judges had no choice. The previous interactive activities were not good, and the atmosphere of the venue did not improve. Some sponsors expressed their opinions. up.

The opinions of these sponsors had to be listened to, that's why the audience selection was made, in order to enliven the atmosphere.

Not enough Even if the audience selected, the judges did not take out all the works, only selected fifteen better works, and the remaining eight were destined to be eliminated.

"So, you can advance to 15 people!"

A jade carving master breathed a sigh of relief, 33 people advanced to 15 people, more than half were eliminated, but it was much better than yesterday, and many jade carving masters saw hope again.

Especially the local masters in Jieyang, who are not particularly sure, are excited about this meeting.

For them, even if the ten directly promoted works do not belong to them, as long as they enter the audience selection later, they have a great hope of advancing, after all, this is their home field.

Elder Song stood up slowly. The four seniors who had already sealed their knives were the most respected people in the jade carving world. After Elder Song stood up, many people stopped talking.

"Now I will announce the list of direct promotion!"

Elder Song's voice was a bit deep, but he spoke clearly. After saying this, he picked up a piece of paper and said slowly: "The first person to advance, Heng Kai!"

Heng Kai was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly stood up from his seat.

All the jade carving masters set their sights on Heng Kai, and many of them were envious. According to yesterday's experience, the first one to advance should be the one with the best grades.

"Master Heng, congratulations!"

Li Yang was the first to wave to Heng Kai. In Li Yang's heart, he also believed that Heng Kai was the one with the best grades today. He had noticed Heng Kai's sculptures before, and they were indeed not bad.

"Master Heng, congratulations, congratulations!"

Others also began to congratulate Heng Kai. After Mr. Song read out the list of the first person to be promoted, a staff member walked into the venue with a bright car, and the big screen was aimed at him.

On the trolley was placed Heng Kai's carving work today, but it was covered by a yellow silk cloth and was not uncovered.

Qi Haiyang and Huang Hao were also congratulating Heng Kai, but there was a sense of wariness deep in their eyes. This Heng Kai achieved No.2 yesterday, and today he is number one again. It is definitely a big part of their victory. rival.

Moreover, Qi Haiyang also understood at this time that this Heng Kai's level is the same as his, at least not inferior to him, this is a top jade carving master that has never been known to the outside world.

"The second person to advance, Li Yang!"

After the cart was put away, Mr. Song slowly read out the list of the second promotion. As soon as Li Yang's name was read out, the venue became extremely quiet.

This quietness is as if the people here disappeared at the same time, tens of thousands of people did not speak at the same time, the silence was terrifying.

A staff member came in pushing a car, which was also covered with yellow silk cloth. Heng Kai was the first person to react, and smiled at Li Yang hastily.

"Mr. Li, now it's my turn to congratulate you!"

"Thank you, I didn't expect that I would also advance!"

Li Yang chuckled, the promotion was within his expectation, the jade knife he made today is definitely a super-level performance, it would be strange not to advance.

It's just that he didn't expect that the second person to advance was him.

"Li Yang, congratulations!"

"Mr. Li, congratulations!"

The other jade carving masters also reacted, and hastily congratulated Li Yang, and many people showed unnatural jealousy in their eyes.

Qi Haiyang and Huang Hao glanced at each other, and they became more vigilant.

If the rankings are really ranked according to the order of promotion, it means that there are two people who are better than them. The road to the championship this time is far less simple than they imagined.

"Impossible, how could he advance?"

"Is there a mistake, Li Yang shouldn't be promoted!"

"The inside story, there must be an inside story, we need to know the selection criteria!"

The participating masters were congratulating Li Yang, but there were bursts of dissatisfied cries from the audience.

Each of them could clearly see what Li Yang's works looked like, and they didn't expect Li Yang to be promoted. Many people naturally wondered if there was a shady scene, someone deliberately let Li Yang advance.

This kind of thinking is purely normal. Anyone who encounters such a thing will have this kind of thinking, even An Wenjun and Zhang Ying also have such doubts in their hearts at this time.

A few of Li Yang's die-hard fans started to stand up and objected loudly. Their objections merged with other people's doubts, and the auditorium immediately became full of excitement. The frightened security guards rushed out for fear of any accidents.

"Old Chen, Li Yang's influence is not inferior to ours at all!" Elder Hong noticed everything in the auditorium and sighed softly.

"What Elder Hong said is that, I see all the people together are not as dazzling as him!"

Elder Qi said with a smile, Li Yang has indeed been in the limelight these two days, even his son Qi Haiyang was crushed to death.

"I didn't expect Li Yang to make such a small thing. It's right to be controversial, and no one doubts that it's abnormal!"

Chen Wuji stroked his beard with a smile, with a satisfied expression on his face, which made Hong Lao and the others feel jealous again.

However, they were very convinced by Li Yang's work, which caused some controversy among the judges.

Of the twelve judges, at least ten wanted to rate Li Yang's work as today's No. 1, while Chen Wuji firmly opposed it. After a long negotiation, Li Yang's and Heng Kai's works were tied for the first place.

However, during the reading, Chen Wuji asked Mr. Song to read Li Yang's name second.

The reason why Chen Wuji did this was entirely for Li Yang's sake. He wanted to relieve Li Yang's pressure, and it was not a good thing to focus all his attention on him.

If it is top-notch for two consecutive days, it will also bring a lot of pressure to Li Yang.

Chen Wuji is now paving the way for his apprentice, he will do anything that is beneficial to Li Yang and does not violate his own principles.

However, Li Yang is indeed up to the task. Thinking of Li Yang's work today, Chen Wuji couldn't help but snicker. He wasted 25 minutes, but he was able to make such a good thing, which made him feel extremely proud.

Li Yang didn't know what happened to the judges. He was still receiving congratulations from people around him. The venue was maintained by security guards, and it was temporarily peaceful.

After the cart was put away, Elder Song picked up the paper and continued to read: "The third person to advance, Zhou Ye!"

Zhou Ye was smirking there, but when he heard his name, he froze for a moment, and hurriedly stood up from his seat.

He didn't expect that the third person to be promoted was himself. He knew that the tools he made were not jade carvings, and he did it purely because he missed his childhood wish.

Third, it was already a surprise to him.

Qi Haiyang's brows gradually condensed together, Huang Hao was not much better than him, both of them were arrogant people, Qi Haiyang had already disclosed his strength, he was already a top master.

Although Huang Hao didn't make it public, he has reached this point. He originally thought that Qi Haiyang was the only competitor in this masters competition. As long as he wins this opponent, he can win the championship. Looking at it now, this is not the case at all.

Li Yang, Heng Kai, and Zhou Ye, who came out suddenly, seemed to have become their powerful opponents.

This road to the championship has become more and more difficult, and who will be the champion of the first Masters has now become a mystery.

"The fourth person to advance, Qi Haiyang!"

Qi Haiyang hurriedly stood up, but unfortunately he wasn't happy at all. He was still in the top three yesterday, but today he fell back to fourth. Many people have already understood that today's reading order is very likely to be the same as yesterday. In order of rank.

"The fifth person to advance, Huang Hao!"

Huang Hao stood up, and the debate in the auditorium was much smaller. Many people noticed that today's top five were exactly the same as yesterday's, but the ranking was slightly different and changed.

Some smart people have already seen that the champion of this Jade Carving Masters Tournament is very likely to be among the five of them.
