People on stage started to submit their answers one after another.
Some got it right, others wrong. One youth even angered the white-haired elder by submitting an answer. The elder said, "You even got the basic distinction of poisons wrong?"
Embarrassed, the youth quickly left the stage.
As expected, and just like Tang Liuyu had said, half of the participants in the first round got eliminated.
Before the white-haired elder could announce the second batch of participants, An Zimo stood up and said, "Second Elder, shouldn't we open Qin Han's wooden box to ensure fairness?"
The white-haired elder frowned at this and asked, "Are you questioning the fairness of the poison identification contest?"
"I wouldn't dare. I'm just curious. I believe many others share my thoughts," An Zimo replied calmly.
Upon hearing this, the white-haired elder turned to a middle-aged man behind him, who nodded. The elder then said, "Alright!"
