The future of the Gu Clan was bright, he believed.
As Long Chen had already accepted the truth, the King also nodded. Since he didn't have to cheat now, he was finally relieved, and he could be honest.
"Great Master Long is right. You made haste in putting in the materials. But it's also a common mistake since it's all about timing. You'll improve in the future," the King said kindly. "You can go back."
"Do you want to declare the results of the first tiers?" Prince Lu asked Long Chen.
"Even though I already know, you can go ahead. As I said, it's your competition. You handle these things. I'm only the observer," Long Chen casually said.
"Alright. The first is Du Han," the King declared, pointing towards the red-haired man.
"Second is Ming Lia!'
"Third is..."
The King declared the results as he named the participants one after another.
