1508 Foreseeing the Future (2)
After the two women returned to their seats with heavy expressions, they were silent for a long time. Then, Jing Jiaren picked up her pen and wrote down her answer.
Because Yu Huang didn’t know how to write the language of the Divination Continent, she didn’t pick up a pen or write. Instead, she picked up a recording pen and recorded her answer. Then, she handed it to the organizer. After the organizing staff gathered all the answers, they handed them to the referee team.
This time, the referees discussed for nearly two hours before handing the final results to the President.
The President checked the final report card first, then raised his head and said to the partic.i.p.ants who were looking at him nervously, “There were a total of 500 partic.i.p.ants in the third round of the preliminary round. A total of 426 people were eliminated in this round.”
When they heard this number, despair appeared on the faces of many partic.i.p.ants. Only top-notch powerhouses like Jing Jiaren and the others could maintain a calm att.i.tude.
!!
The President told everyone, “The correct answer for this round is Prisoner No. 7.”
Upon hearing this, the partic.i.p.ants looked at the pregnant woman with complicated expressions. The partic.i.p.ants who gave the wrong answer sat on their stools dejectedly.
The President continued, “There are a total of 74 qualified partic.i.p.ants in this round. Six of them had outstanding performances. They are Jing Jiaren, Song Yuhe, You Lanshan, Crest, Nuo An, and Yu Huang. All six of them scored full marks. The others who pa.s.sed the test got 8 points.”
After the President read the results, their point ranking changed again.
At this point, Yu Huang had a total of 30 points. Jing Jiaren, Song Yuhe, Crest, and the others all had 28 points. The further they advanced, the more difficult the test would be. At this moment, everyone realized that tomorrow’s finals would be the exclusive venue for these six people.
As for the other partic.i.p.ants, they were all prepared to lag behind them.

That night, many people couldn’t sleep. Yu Huang was also quite concerned about tomorrow’s a.s.sessment, so she didn’t sleep either. She simply laid on the bed and grabbed stars from the Creator for the entire night.
The next day, at eight in the morning, the first match of the final compet.i.tion officially began.
Yesterday’s preliminary compet.i.tion tested the partic.i.p.ants’ ability to predict the past. Today, it tested their ability to predict the future.
What had already happened was naturally easier to predict than what had yet to happen.
On this day, the 74 partic.i.p.ants were brought to Hall 2. At the same time, all the family members and eliminated partic.i.p.ants were locked outside the door and were no longer allowed to watch. Hall 2 was divided into 74 squares, with each partic.i.p.ant occupying one side.
The organizer a.s.signed everyone a table. Other than that, there was nothing else.
At eight o’clock, the staff placed a sealed bag on the table in front of the partic.i.p.ants on time. After the staff left, Yu Huang didn’t see the President appear again. It seemed that the host of the final compet.i.tion wasn’t the President.
“The first round of the final compet.i.tion is about to begin. The examination time is ten minutes. The examinees who are unable to answer the questions within the specified time will be directly eliminated.” Suddenly, Old Madam Jing’s voice sounded in the hall.
Old Madam Jing gave the partic.i.p.ants a few seconds to prepare. Then, she said, “Now, please open the sealed bag.”
Yu Huang and the others did as they were told.
After opening the sealed bag, Yu Huang discovered that there was a flower bud in the bag. This flower bud had probably been broken not long ago, and the crack was still a tender green color.
Old Madam Jing continued, “The flower buds in front of you were all picked from flower bed No. 4 of Starlight Square. Next, please predict the gender, age, clothing, and demeanor of the first person to pa.s.s by flower bed No. 4 of Starlight Square after 8: 30 PM.”
“Those who are unable to complete the question on time will be eliminated.”
“Those who can answer the question correctly in two minutes will receive full marks.”
“Now, the countdown will start.”
A timer appeared out of thin air in the sky above Hall 2.
Seeing this, all the partic.i.p.ants picked up the flower bud immediately and began to race against time to predict the future.
About fifty seconds later, Jing Jiaren was the first to press the b.u.t.ton and stuffed her answer into the card reader on the right side of the table. Just as she stuffed the answer sheet in, Yu Huang also pressed the b.u.t.ton.
Jing Jiaren tilted her head and glanced at Yu Huang with a smile.
