X-Dragon Era

Ten tiles, nine Dead Tiles, one Live Tile, this selection process is truly too tense, too thrilling... They have indeed surpassed them in luck...

Regarding such an assessment, Xin Yun really had nothing to say, Luck, although it sounds illusory, at many times, it absolutely cannot be ignored.

Those who frequently play mahjong know that when luck comes, it's definitely a winning spree, four people playing cards, but it turns into one beating three, and sometimes when luck is not good, one might not win a single game all night, not even close to hearing the winning tile, that's the effect of luck.

In the eyes of the ordinary person, this so-called luck is completely unfathomable, luck comes when it comes, and when it's gone, it's gone, there's only luck finding the person, and no such thing as a person finding luck.

However, Xin Yun didn't see it that way, although luck is illusory, it's not completely unfathomable, there are many ways to grasp the pulse of luck!

Speaking of it might seem a bit superstitious, in fact... Feng Shui on Earth is one of such methods, the arrangement and position of things in one's home, can all bring good luck, but if you stick an awl at your own doorstep, what it brings could never be good luck, but misfortune, and who knows, you might just forget and step on it.

Moreover, when people get married, they always choose an auspicious day and time, in fact, this is also a way to grasp luck, the logic within is not something ordinary people can understand.

Of course, Xin Yun is the same, with no research into these things, nor can it be said to have a grasp, but compared to ordinary people, he knows a bit more.

Xin Yun's lucky number is six, especially in today's test, the number six appeared six consecutive times, Talent 66, Aptitude 66, Potential 66, adding up to exactly six sixes, which can be described as Great Smoothness, so, thirty-six being the Great Perfection of six, although it may seem superstitious, under such unfathomable circumstances, Xin Yun could only decide this way, even though he might not be able to grasp destiny, there was now a sliver of possibility.

A thread of possibility required one hundred percent effort to pursue, this was Xin Yun's philosophy of life, nothing is impossible in this world, as long as one is willing to work hard, anything might be realized.

Soon, an exquisite wooden box was brought onto the stage, and the robust man displayed ten Life and Death Signs, upon close inspection, except for different characters inside, the weight, size, shape, everything was exactly the same.

The Life and Death Signs were carved out of identical crystals, the writing trapped between two sides of the crystal, trying to distinguish the writing by touching it with fingers was completely impossible, everything could only depend on luck.

Finally, with the examiner's command, the drawing of lots began, one by one the students went to the box, each drawing a sign from the box, but... A row of people, one after another drew signs, all of them were Dead Tiles, not a single Live one.

Ten signs, among them nine dead and one alive, the probability was really too low, but in any case, this was after all a chance, so no one was willing to give up, the drawing of lots continued.

However, as time passed, as one Dead Tile after another was drawn, the line for drawing lots finally broke, in the face of immediate death upon drawing, no one dared to continue.

One... Two... Ten... Twenty-one... Thirty, thirty-one... Finally, when thirty-one consecutive Dead Tiles appeared, everyone went silent, no one dared to touch this streak of bad luck.

In front of this scene, Xin Yun was not in a hurry, the deadlock would always be broken, no matter what, he must wait for the thirty-sixth draw, neither earlier, nor absolutely later.

```

After a long silence, finally... under the urging of the examiner, two more guys went up to draw, but without exception, all of them drew dead tiles, and everyone immediately stepped back in unison.

Seeing this, the robust examiner finally ran out of patience. Grabbing two guys, one with each hand, he dragged them in front of the box and shouted angrily, "Hide again, and I'll disqualify you!"

Hearing the examiner's words, the two guys couldn't help but show expression of helplessness. Anyway, it was a dead end either way, so they might as well take a chance. During their contemplation, they each drew in turn, but the result was still two dead tiles.

The drawing of lots is actually fair regardless of the order as everyone gets one chance to draw, and the probability for each person is one in ten. Whether one can draw a resurrection sign really depends on luck.

With the two guys eliminated, this had already been the 35th consecutive failure. Seeing this, Xin Yun's eyes suddenly lit up. Without waiting for the examiner to continue grabbing people, he stepped forward and said loudly, "I'll go next!"

When the examiner heard Xin Yun's voice, he was startled, then nodded in approval, "Exactly, what's the point of hiding? Is drawing later will ensure a hit?"

While he was speaking, Xin Yun had already reached the box. Taking a deep breath, Xin Yun was actually very nervous. There were ten signs in the box in front of him, but only one was a resurrection sign, the other nine were all dead tiles, and the probability of drawing it was extremely low.

Calming himself down, Xin Yun opened his eyes wide, and without much thought, he quickly reached into the box, randomly selected one, and swiftly drew it out.

Although he really wanted to turn his head away and not look, Xin Yun knew he couldn't back down. He directly brought the crystal sign in front of him, and the next moment... two bright red characters appeared before Xin Yun—Resurrection!

"Wow!" Seeing this, everyone exclaimed. After thirty-five dead tiles in a row, this guy had actually drawn a resurrection sign; his luck was too good!

Holding the resurrection sign in his hand, the excitement in Xin Yun's heart was simply indescribable. He was even more thrilled than when he had dug up the Azure Sea. At last, he was not eliminated; this was truly crucial!

In the midst of his thoughts, just as Xin Yun was about to put the resurrection sign back into the box, the powerful examiner suddenly reached out to stop him and shook his head, "No, keep this sign. It's proof for your entry into the next round."

In the meantime, the powerful examiner took another resurrection sign from the drawer beside him and smiled at all the students, "You can keep waiting, but there are only ten resurrection signs in total. Once all ten signs are drawn, this round of selection will end immediately. Those who haven't drawn will lose their eligibility just like those who drew dead tiles."

Hearing this, all of the students were first stunned, then rushed forward in a frenzy. What a joke. Although 35 people had been eliminated, there were 900 people participating in the second round of selection, and ten signs were simply not enough to go around.

With the announcement of this rule, the speed of the Life and Death sign drawing increased countless times. One after another, students lined up to draw. Within just over two hours, the drawing came to an end, and a total of 465 people had drawn all ten resurrection signs. The rest were all eliminated.

Looking at those who were eliminated just because they didn't draw, the powerful examiner said gravely, "Luck truly exists, but whether you can grasp it when it comes is also an issue. It's clear... among you people, there must be many lucky ones, but unfortunately, you didn't seize the opportunity. Those who can't seize luck are as good as having no luck!"

Faced with the examiner's remarks, everyone felt extremely aggrieved, but who could they blame? If they had stepped forward proactively like Xin Yun, wouldn't everything have been fine?

Let's not mention how deflated these guys were. Including Xin Yun, the ten people who had drawn resurrection signs were all standing in a row. At the same time, the powerful examiner announced loudly, "Alright, let's proceed to the second round of the resurrection match, a competition of strength!"
