There were also people like Lin Yi and Lu Butong, who were originally from the same city, but were now split into two or even three small groups. Elder Huang, on the other hand, ignored them.
"Elder Xu! Sorry for making you wait! In fact, I can bring these people with me, so why bother you?"
When elder Huang saw a white-robed middle-aged man waiting there, he immediately went up to greet him with a smile on his face. He no longer had that cold and indifferent look from before. In fact, he even seemed to be flattering!
The four disciples behind elder Xu were not surprised by this. They did not even greet elder Huang. Only elder Xu nodded slightly in response.
"It's my duty. Thank you for your hard work, elder Huang!"
Elder Xu said faintly before turning to Lin Yi and the others. "I'm one of the invigilating elders. All of you, follow me!"
After he finished speaking, elder Xu took the lead and walked forward. The four disciples followed closely behind him, and then it was the people who participated in the assessment.
As for elder Huang, he had already completed his mission, so he didn't need to follow.
After entering the mountain Gate, they soon came to a square paved with bluestone. Elder Xu continued to move forward, while one of the four disciples stopped for a moment, indicating for the participants to stop and stay in the square. Then, he followed his companion.
Lin Yi thought that they'd have to wait here for the test to start, so he didn't think too much about it.
They didn't expect AI fan and the other four elders to come over after leaving the square.
"Brother Sima, I'm preparing to fight with the people of your Deer Ridge city. Do you want to join in?"
AI fan smiled as he glanced at Lin Yi, then turned to Lu Butong."Lu Butong, we didn't win just now. Let's continue!"
"Young master AI, we are in the sword spring sect. Is it really good for you to do this?"
Lin Yi raised a brow. Elder Huang had just warned AI fan to stay put-did he really have the balls to start a fight here?
He didn't expect that before AI fan could say anything, the martial artists from the other two cities had already started fighting! Ping, ping, pang, pang, pang. The battle was extremely lively.
"Little brother Zhong da, this should be the first round of the adaptive elimination competition. As long as both sides agree on the rules and everyone agrees, the battle can begin immediately!"
Black wildflower's eyes flashed, as if he thought of something, and said in a low voice,""I've heard of this assessment before. All the participants must fight. Those who don't fight will be eliminated. Those who are defeated will also be eliminated. The goal is to have half of the participants remain!"
Lin Yi was surprised-the test was starting already? No one had said anything or explained the rules?
Those who didn't know the rules didn't even know how they were eliminated.
"There's one more thing. You can't kill anyone during the elimination process. Anyone who violates this rule will be eliminated immediately, and they won't have the chance to enter the sword spring sect in the future!"
Black wildflower explained everything he knew as he tried to recall, providing Lin Yi with some reference."We can only fight after both sides have agreed. We can't fight randomly, or we will be eliminated. That's why young city Lord AI came to me first!"
"So if we don't agree, young city Lord AI won't be able to fight with us?"
Lin Yi felt that this test was a bit of a scam-if it weren't for the black wildflowers, he'd probably be eliminated in the first round for no reason.
However, it didn't sound very reliable to make a promise before taking action.
"Indeed, you can't fight with us anymore. However, if you do that, we will lose the right to challenge you. In the end, we will be considered eliminated. Since young city Lord AI was the one who proposed to be rejected, you can still challenge others in the future."
Black wildflower looked up at AI fan and the martial artists behind him and said softly,"We have no other choice now. We can only accept the challenge, or we can turn around and leave!"
It wasn't easy for them to come to the sword spring sect to participate in the assessment. Who would give up so easily?
Especially black wildflower, how much time and effort had he spent to get this recommendation?
"Alright, young city Lord AI, we accept the challenge!"
Lin Yi thought about it and agreed,"How are you going to fight?"
"Let's have a group battle. The current battles are only to reduce the number of people quickly. There aren't many spots. There's no time for us to fight for them one by one!"
AI fan clearly knew the rules and had done a lot of research on them. That was why he was able to keep a steady lead!
"No problem. As the strong, I have to give you weaklings the right to choose!"
"It's just a gang fight, why do you have to call it a team fight?"Lin Yi smiled and shrugged.
To Lin Yi, it didn't make a difference whether it was a one-on-one fight or a group fight. The only difference was that AI fan wouldn't agree to a one-on-one fight, but a group fight was fine!
Zhulu city had more people than Luling city to begin with. Furthermore, Luling city was divided into two small groups, giving AI fan the chance to defeat them one by one. It would be strange if he agreed to a one-on-one!
"Brother Sima, you're really straightforward! Since that's the case, then come at me. I'll give you a chance to make the first move!"
AI fan laughed and waved his arm. The people around him took out their weapons and pointed them at Lin Yi's group, but they didn't attack immediately."All of you be careful, don't kill the people on brother Sima's side!"
Although he would be eliminated if he killed someone, AI fan was worried about Lin Yi's true identity. If he was really from the Sima family, the difference between killing someone and not killing someone would be too big!
"Heh ... They're not here. I'm alone!"
Lin Yi waved his hand, stopping Wu yucao and the others. He smiled faintly,"Young city Lord AI, just watch how this young master will beat up a group of you!"
Lin Yi's extreme butterfly steps burst out before he finished his sentence, and he appeared like a ghost in the crowd.
Demonic devour's Black light flickered like a Night Elf, instantly breaking the weapons in the hands of four people and knocking out three of them!
This time, Lin Yi didn't use his consciousness to attack, but he used his movement and green Devil sword technique to unleash a powerful combat power.
After all, the rule was that no one was allowed to kill, and if he used his spirit sense to attack but left someone alive, it would only reveal Lin Yi's trump card!
After knocking down two more men, Lin Yi dodged and retreated, putting his sword back into its scabbard and smiling."Young city Lord AI, is my ability to beat up a group of people still passable?"
AI fan's face twitched. Lin Yi's strength was beyond his imagination, especially his ghostly movements and mysterious swordsmanship. He felt like he couldn't fight Lin Yi with his strength.
Could it be that this was really a member of the Sima clan, and a direct descendant at that? otherwise, how could he possibly have such strong battle power?
In fact, Lin Yi was feeling a little bitter inside. He was able to knock out five people because of the combination of the butterfly micro steps and the green Devil sword technique, but he couldn't use it for a long time in his current state.
