90 I Admit Defea

The judges quickly recovered from the momentary shock. They began to look at Liu Yang with another eye, regardless of their appearance. The next action of Fang Luoyang surprised the other participants.

"Companion Liu Yang, could you tell us how you came to that conclusion?" Fang Luoyang was being very polite to Liu Yang, not just because of his wife, she began to want to see how much knowledge Liu Yang had to see if he would value or not to recruit him.

This scene shocked everyone because the judges only asked the participants when they agreed or their theories were interesting. Duan Li was shocked when Fang Luoyang asked how Liu Yang had come in his reply, he knew he lost the first round.

"First I looked at the edge of the ring, the scratches and some of the cracks did not influence the use of the ring because some of them were made purposely by the person who forged the ring, and others were scams that were caused by someone. Then I checked the inside of the ring, in the part where there is the central jewel there is a small hole that connects to the interior where there is a slightly larger hole, at first there is nothing in the larger hole inside the ring, but if we inject some magical energy in the ring we can realize that the central jewel begins to suck something inside the hole, but that suction was so weak that it would be extremely difficult for an inexperienced person to identify it. If we put what should be there, the ring could work again "

Liu Yang's words sounded like thunder in Duan Li's ears because he could not feel anything by injecting his magical power into the ring, but now that Liu Yang said there was something inside the ring, that was against his words, because he had said that it could have been mistake of the person who forged the ring.

Injecting magic power was the standard procedure to check if an item was broken or not because when power flows through the equipment it is possible to see if there is an error or not.

The seven judges looked at each other and nodded, their eyes glowing mysteriously when they were looking at Liu Yang.

"Fellow Liu Yang, you win the first round" Fang Luoyang looked pleased to have found a good seed, along with the relationship of Liu Yang's wife and Xiao Xi, this makes some things easier in the future.

Duan Li felt strong pressure after he confirmed that Liu Yang was the winner of the first round. He tried his best to calm down and keep the mind focused.

(It's only the first round, there are still four I need to hit three of the remaining four rounds) Duan Li began to repeat that phrase in his mind in an attempt to calm down.

"Let's start the second round"

Duan Li was more confident of his words this time, he did not let the previous round shake him.

"Your turn" Fang Luoyang turned to Liu Yang and asked for him to begin.

"I say that there are five flaws in this boot, the first is the rune broken in the heel, the second is the hole in the sole of the boot, the third is the inside of the boot tip that is missing a piece inside, fourth would be the broken boot barrel which was wrought again later to try to repair the break, and the fifth is the central item that connects all runes and jewels to be activated, this item is missing "

Although Liu Yang's responses were similar to Duan Li's response, with only modified words, they did not care much, because if the two realized the same error, the answers would be similar. But what surprised everyone is that Liu Yang said there was another mistake, that would be countering Duan Li again. The other competitors were looking forward to who would hit this round.

The judges were getting more and more satisfied with Liu Yang, the knowledge he is demonstrating was greater than they imagined. Liu Yang was not trying to impress the judges, as the husband of the daughter of the matriarch of the Xiao clan, the husband of the princess of the Xiao clan, Liu Yang should at least show what he is capable of, even in a small competition like this, because Xiao Xi was looking at him right now, he would not want to make her lose face.

"Follow Liu Yang, tell us how did you find the fifth fault?" Fang Luoyang decided to ignore the first four flaws and focus on the fifth, which was the different answers between the two.

The other participants were surprised to know that there really was the fifth failure, they started looking at Duan Li with pity eyes because he kicked a steel plate this time.

"What I did was just inject magical energy into the boot and make that energy go all the way through the boot. So it is possible to verify if there is any problem or not when the energy reaches a fault, the magical energy is dissipated, thus we can find the error. But there is something quite interesting about this boot that induces, those who do not have much experience in analyzing, make a mistake "

Liu Yang did not complete his response, he left quite vague in the end to let others think about the lack of experiences they had. Liu Yang wanted to show these people that being arrogant to belong to some influential power was useless when their own skills are lacking.

This was the case of Duan Li, he managed to understand the words of Liu Yang, he understood that Liu Yang's words were for him. Because Duan Li was acting arrogantly before Liu Yang just because he belonged to some influential power.

Liu Yang showed not only to Duan Li but to everyone who was acting arrogantly. He showed that there will always be a higher mountain. Some who were more aware understood these words, others who were arrogant and unrestrained thought that Liu Yang was insulting them.

"Follow Liu Yang, could you finish telling us the answer to the previous question?" Fang Luoyang also understood the hidden meaning in Liu Yang's words, she was astonished at such an action, not only her but also the other judges.

(Someone so young, but also with so much knowledge, he is not arrogant or unbridled, he is humble in relation to his abilities, this young man is a good seed that is worth recruiting) That was the thinking of the six judges.

"The fifth flaw is at the end of the boot barrel, more specifically at the base of the boot barrel, if we inject magical energy into the boot, we can see that the energy begins to join in there after running through the rune lines. But when the energy comes together in the place, moments later it is dissipated for some reason, the energy cannot sustain itself for long. Because of this, it is possible to say that something missing in this place "

Liu Yang's words surprised Duan Li because he had seen this flaw, but he thought that failure was a result of the rune lines being broken, which is why he had not said that failure.

Duan Li began to understand what lack of experience was, and what it could do if it were in a real forge. Duan Li realized that he had totally lost that challenge if it was for knowledge or experience in the art of forging, he lacked both in comparison to Liu Yang.

"Liu Yang wins the second round" Fang Luoyang's words confirmed that Liu Yang was right, Duan Li felt his pride and arrogance breaking down at this.

"Let's start the third ..." Before Fang Luoyang could finish speaking. Duan Li interrupts her.

"Miss Fang, no other round is necessary, I, Duan Li, lose this challenge. You're Liu Yang, right? I will remember this name, I hope that someday we can meet again to have a challenge again. "Finishing his speech, Duan Li joins hands with Liu Yang and the judges before he begins to leave the hall.
