The welcome Pavilion's freshmen competition had come to an end. However, the North Island arena's inner disciples 'year-end competition had just begun.
All the inner core disciples from the three pavilions were present, but what surprised Lin Yi was that not all of the hundred golden core practitioners were dressed as inner disciples. Some of them were dressed as outer disciples, but they were all golden core practitioners.
Lin Yi only realized now that the competition wasn't only limited to the core disciples. Even outer disciples could fight if they were strong enough.
If one's strength and performance were outstanding, they might be chosen by some Big Shot and taken in as an in-name disciple. From then on, they would have a meteoric rise. There were many precedents of this.
To the inner disciples, the inner sect competition was just as important. It was an assessment for them by the three pavilions. Their performance would directly affect the allocation of cultivation resources for the next year. They could not afford to underestimate it.
Finally, this year's inner sect grand competition officially began. According to the previous years "practice, the person who presided over the inner sect grand competition was a senior member of the elder Council. And this year, the one who appeared was surprisingly Xu lingchong's grandfather, Xu Yuanzheng.
"The rules of this year's inner sect competition are very simple. It's the arena duels. It's similar to the previous years. This year's arena duels are divided into two categories, one against one and two against two!" Xu Yuan is currently looking around at all the Jindan stage disciples present, and loudly announces: "I'm sure all of you can understand this. After all, after entering the inner sect, it's no longer just a test of individual strength, but also a test of teamwork!"
Upon hearing this, everyone on the grandstand started to discuss among themselves. At the same time, they all nodded their heads. After entering the inner sect and becoming core disciples, they would often have to go out to carry out high-level missions. Regardless of the difficulty or danger, they were all extremely high and often needed to work in a team to complete them.
No matter how powerful a person was, if he didn't know how to cooperate with others, he would still be useless.
"Regardless of whether it's a one-on-one or a two-on-two, only the top fifty will be able to obtain the corresponding Battle Points. The first place will get fifty points, and the second place will get forty-nine points. The points will be reduced in this order, and the sum of the two results will be your final result for this year's inner sect competition! Even if you won't be directly eliminated from the inner sect, you won't get any preferential treatment in terms of cultivation resources for the next year. " Xu Yuan says indifferently while looking at everyone.
When the inner sect disciples on the stands heard this, their expressions became serious. At the Golden core stage, it was much more difficult to make progress than at the Foundation Stage. Without the assistance of a large number of cultivation resources, no matter how hard they worked, it would be difficult to make any progress even after decades of closed-door cultivation.
If they really fell out of the top 50, it meant that they could only get the most basic cultivation resources. It would be good enough if they could guarantee that they would not fall behind. As for going higher, they could forget about it.
"Alright, that's all the rules. You can go back and prepare. I'll give you five days to choose your teammates. The competition will officially begin in five days." As Xu Yuan finished speaking, his eyes paused in Lin Yi's direction for a moment before he turned around and left the stage with a playful look.
There were nearly a hundred golden core inner sect core disciples present, including some outer sect disciples who came to challenge Lin Yi. Most of them had friends and acquaintances, and they were all sitting together in groups of two or three. Only Lin Yi was alone, with no one around him.
At this point, Lin Yi realized the problem himself-he finally understood why he was called to the inner sect competition. It was most likely lingchong's doing-his grandfather was the person in charge of the competition, and he could easily pull some strings. What a sinister person!
With Lin Yi's strength and confidence, even if he had just reached the early golden core stage, he wouldn't be afraid of a one on one fight with these core disciples. But the problem was, there was still a two on two fight. What was he supposed to do?
There were close to a hundred people here, and other than Xu lingchong, Meng Tong, and Nan Tianba-his archenemies-Lin Yi didn't even know a single person, let alone an acquaintance. Who was he supposed to find to form a team?
Even with the Halo of the newcomer King, he was still a newcomer after all. His strength was at the bottom of the pool. Moreover, the people present were not familiar with him at all, let alone cooperation and tacit understanding.
Even if some people found him pleasing to the eye, the problem was that if he rashly formed a team with a rookie who didn't know anything, what if he became cannon fodder? this wasn't a joke. The risk was too great!
But if he couldn't find anyone to form a team, he could still participate in the team competition, and he'd have to face a 1v2 then. Unless these inner disciples took some benefits and went easy on him, he had no chance of winning.
Even if Lin Yi was the strongest golden core, he'd only just entered the Golden core stage. If he was in the mid-stage, he might have a chance, but he was in the early-stage! He'd lose for sure!
Xu lingchong and Meng Tong smiled at each other as they saw Lin Yi frowning and speechless from afar. Lin Yi had really fallen into their trap this time.
"Hehe, chongchong, you've really given him a big problem this time. I've known this guy for a year, but I've never seen him in such a troubled state. I've really learned something today." Meng Tong gloated.
"Brother Meng, this is just a small punishment. It's just an appetizer. There will be many more opportunities in the future. I'll make him feel like he's in heaven!" Xu lingchong's mouth twitched with a vicious expression.
"It's best if we can draw him directly this time, then we can take revenge!" Meng Tong coldly nodded.
Ever since his personality changed, Meng Tong didn't act like he was grinding his teeth at Lin Yi, but that didn't mean his hatred was gone. On the contrary, every time he felt his heart break, his hatred for Lin Yi deepened!
He did not show it in the past because he knew that he did not have the strength. But now that he had Xu lingchong, the situation was completely different.
He was also an early golden core Master now, and while he might not have a 100% chance of winning against Lin Yi in a one-on-one fight, killing Lin Yi would be a piece of cake with the addition of an intermediate golden core Xu lingchong-he was already thirsty for more!
"Although my grandfather is the person in charge of the inner sect competition, the drawing of lots is supervised by the elders. It's extremely difficult to tamper with it, and it'll still be up to luck to get Lin Yi." Xu lingchong shook her head and said with a serious expression, "It'll be great if we can get it, but if we can 't, we can't lose the big picture because of the small. This year's inner sect competition is the key. As long as we can shine, with my grandfather's help, it's not impossible for us to get the position of the second senior brother in charge of the inner sect!" (To be continued.)
