"Stop! I admit defeat!" Ling Tianyou said at the last moment.
It was only Lin Yi. If it was anyone else, they wouldn't have been able to stop their kick at this time, and would've sent Ling Tianyou flying. But Lin Yi stopped his kick effortlessly, and looked at Ling Tianyou with deep meaning. He thought to himself that this kid was indeed not someone to be messed with.
All geniuses had their own pride, and for a super genius like Ling Tianyou, even if he looked gentle and low-key on the surface, he was definitely a master of pride that soared to the sky. Such people were usually very prideful, and even if they were forced into a corner, it would be harder than ascending to the heavens to make them admit defeat in front of others. No one expected Ling Tianyou to actually choose to admit defeat so straightforwardly. Furthermore, he was as calm as usual from the beginning to the end, without the slightest bit of embarrassment or awkwardness on his face. Just this kind of personality was already extremely extraordinary.
He was extremely talented and shrewd-even Lin Yi had to admit that Ling Tianyou would be a formidable figure in the future if he really grew up.
"Alright, I hereby announce that Lin Yi wins!" Xin Yijie announced on the spot. Even now, the crowd was still in a daze. They were still immersed in the rhythm of the stalemate from before, but in the blink of an eye, the victor had been decided. This was too F * cking sudden.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, didn't seem to care at all. He turned around and was about to leave the stage when Ling Tianyou suddenly spoke up from behind him,""May I ask you a question?"
"Speak," he said. Lin Yi turned to him.
"How did you escape from my Flying Needles just now?" Ling Tianyou asked. Logically speaking, his Flying Needles should be able to cover all 360 degrees without any blind spots, but Lin Yi was able to get out of it so easily, and he wasn't even injured at all. It was really confusing.
In fact, he wasn't the only one who had this question. Everyone present had the same question. The only exception was Bing Wuqing, as she was the only one who had seen Lin Yi in his half-primordial spirit state.
"Think about it slowly." Lin Yi smiled faintly. He wasn't stupid, and his demigod state was his biggest trump card. How could he just reveal it to others, especially in public?
"Alright, I'll ask for your advice next time." Ling Tianyou didn't pester him any further. The corner of his mouth still had a faint smile on it, and he didn't look like a loser who had just admitted defeat.
Although he had indeed lost just now, it was, after all, an insignificant competition. He still had his trump card that he had not used. After all, it was not necessary unless it was absolutely necessary. Compared to his life-saving trump card, what was the big deal of admitting defeat and surrendering?
Xue Jianfeng was speechless at this scene. When Lin Yi was fighting Ling Tianyou, the ideal situation for him was for both of them to suffer heavy losses. But now, both of them were completely unharmed. Ling Tianyou admitted defeat just like that, and he even put on a bullshit "we're friends "attitude. It was really a pain in the ass.
After the two of them returned to their respective teams, Xin Yijie continued to ask,""Is there anyone else who wants to challenge those of a higher level?"
This time, no one made a sound. Even a superb character like Ling Tianyou had lost. It could be seen how difficult it was to challenge someone of a higher level. This was no different from a blow to their heads, and they immediately did not dare to act rashly.
Challenging someone of a higher level wasn't a small matter, and not everyone would go easy on them like Lin Yi did. What if they picked a tough guy, and the guy decided to kill them? there was no rule in the competition that said they couldn't kill someone.
Of course, the silence was only temporary. There were a lot of people who were eager to make a move. It was just that the rules had just been announced not long ago, and they had not yet found a suitable target to challenge. In two days, when they were almost ready, these people with the strength and the confidence to challenge those of a higher level would really appear.
"In that case, let's start drawing lots." Xin Yijie immediately arranged for the teams to draw lots. Although it was a little cumbersome, there were less than 100 people in total, so he could handle it by himself.
The first group to start was the strongest group of Foundation Stage cultivators. Including Lin Yi and Xue Jianfeng, there were only eight people in total. They were all core disciples of their respective ancient sects, and they were all the big senior brothers of their respective sects. Their battle was basically a battle between the strongest disciples of their respective sects, and it was naturally eye-catching.
After the results were out, Xin Yijie looked at it and smiled. He shook his head and sighed. "It's a pity that we didn't mobilize the entire immemorial Alliance for this experiential learning in the secular world. We only gathered the middle Island Alliance and the North Island Alliance. Otherwise, we could really get a ranking of the strongest disciples of the immemorial Alliance."
The eight of them had drawn lots to form four groups. Although Lin Yi had just fought Ling Tianyou, he didn't get any special treatment. Of course, he could choose to give up, but that would mean that he only had four chances left, and he had to win three out of four to qualify.
It should be known that it was pure bad luck to be called out to challenge someone of a higher level. If you lost, you would be eliminated, and even if you won, there would be no benefits. Not only would your true energy be wasted, but you would also have to participate in a battle between people of the same level, and others would take advantage of you for no reason.
It couldn't be helped. The rules were just that cruel. There was no need for fairness, only survival of the fittest. In the end, the trial Competition was a preparation for the trials of the immemorial era, and there was no such thing as fairness in the immemorial era. Let alone this kind of wheel battle, it wouldn't be strange for anything to happen.
Xue Jianfeng rubbed his palms together. He wanted to use this opportunity to teach Lin Yi a lesson. Although he had absolute confidence in his early golden core strength, since Lin Yi had just been exhausted by Ling Tianyou, it would be a waste not to take advantage of this and save some energy.
Unfortunately, the draw didn't go as he wanted-Xue Jianfeng didn't meet Lin Yi, but the leader of another ancient sect. He couldn't help but curse at his bad luck, but fortunately, he still had four chances.
Every time, they would draw a brand new lot. In theory, it was very easy to draw the same opponent. If there was enough coincidence, it might be the same opponent for five times. This was also a special rule of this Trial Competition. It was not only a test of hard strength, but also a test of everyone's adaptability and recovery ability. Any weakness in any of these could become a fatal flaw.
Of course, if he was unlucky, this rule might cause him to miss Lin Yi in the competition, and he'd have to save his revenge for the test.
The actual fight started very soon. Lin Yi had spent a lot of effort when he was fighting Ling Tianyou, but that was purely to test Ling Tianyou's skills (he wasn't interested in fighting other people. He used the five elements killing intent right away (and normal Foundation Stage cultivators couldn't stop him at all (before Xin Yijie could finish his sentence, the fight had already ended ...
