That wasn't a favor, it was a feud.
Tyrant, Fallen Dragon, heaven's Secret, and Yan Chi were ranked second to fifth on the list.
It was also within everyone's expectations-even if Lin Yi had the feat of fighting two people at once, unless he had the record of beating the other five in a direct battle, it was natural for him to be at the bottom. After all, the difference in their foundations was too big.
However, Lin Yi wasn't sixth.
What replaced it was not one of the leading figures below the five Giants, but an extremely ridiculous name that many people were unfamiliar with.
Quanfu.
"It sounds like a dog."
Hong BA's first words represented the perception of most people.
The top 100 was the authoritative ranking, and every respected master in the retained students 'courtyard cared about their own ranking. If the top ones were true Masters who could suppress them, they wouldn't be able to say anything.
But this quanfu-he'd never shown his face in front of anyone before, and he didn't do what Lin Yi did-go up against two of the five Giants and make a heaven-defying performance! What made him sixth?
Many people who didn't like Lin Yi couldn't help but feel indignant for him.
If that was the case, the public would be dissatisfied and would at most complain, but the problem was that Lin Yi wasn't even after sixth place. Not only was his name not in the top ten, but he wasn't in the top twenty, or even the top thirty!
39th in the top 100, Lin Yi.
All the Masters from the repeat students who saw the ranking fell into silence.
Lin Yi was ranked 43rd last time, and he hadn't even broken through to the next level yet. He didn't even use the ultimate five elements yet, but now he was completely different. He was able to fight two of the five Giants together and didn't lose. His ranking went up by four places.
By the way, Hong Baxian was ranked 36th in the top hundred.
Hong Baxian and his men couldn't control their emotions any longer, killing intent on their faces. They didn't care how the hundred families society manipulated their own rankings, but a public ranking like this was obviously vilifying Lin Yi-it was a completely different story.
The subject would die if the master was humiliated!
It wasn't an overstatement to say that this was the hundred schools of philosophy's declaration of war against Lin Yi. If they didn't tear down the Hundred Schools of Thought, how could they be called the new five Giants? He would definitely be looked down upon by everyone!
There was no need to even think about it-the entire retained area was waiting for Lin Yi's reaction, waiting for this new big Five to reveal his fangs!
Lin Yi, on the other hand, didn't react at all. He smiled, not thinking much of it. "You're a little humorous. "
“……”
Everyone looked at each other.
Lin Yi's phone suddenly rang, and it was Zhang Qiu.
"President Zhang, are you in trouble?"
Lin Yi's relaxed voice only got a bitter smile from Zhang Qiu."Lin Wuju's ability to recuperate is indeed good. I'm in a terrible fix right now. The hundred school of thought has already changed its leader, and I'm just an empty President. I'm afraid I'll lose this empty title soon."
"What's the situation?"Lin Yi raised a brow.
"The former president of the Hundred Schools of Thought has returned. Many people have secretly colluded with him and took advantage of my absence to make me a mere figurehead."
"You should have already seen his name," Zhang Qiu said with a bitter smile.
"Qinfu?" Lin Yi blinked.
"That's right, it's him,"
Zhang Qiu explained,"he was the one who founded the Hundred Schools of Thought. At that time, his goal was not to obtain information from the third party, but to compete for the top spot in the school of repeaters. The original intention of the Hundred Schools of Thought was to gather the strengths of the Hundred Schools of Thought to become the Overlord of the Hundred Schools of Thought. This man was ambitious and strong, not any weaker than Hong Batian."
"But later, he provoked the pavilion of heavenly secrets and was personally suppressed by Lord heavenly secrets. He fled in a sorry state and has not been heard from since. Now, thirteen years have passed in a flash. I didn't expect that he would actually come back, and his first move is a big one!"
"Doesn't Tianji care?"Lin Yi asked.
Given the relationship between the Hundred Schools of Thought and the secret Pavilion, there was no reason for the secret Pavilion to ignore the Hundred Schools of Thought's incident. Moreover, since quanfu had been expelled by the secret Pavilion, he would definitely cause trouble for the secret Pavilion when he returned. The secret Pavilion had no reason to stand by and do nothing.
"Lord Tianji is currently focused on something important, so he can't make a move," Zhang Qiu said after a moment of silence.
“……”
This news would definitely be another explosive news if it were to spread. After all, King du had just died, and Tianji's hands were suddenly tied. It was inevitable that people would have a bad impression of him.
There might even be people who wanted to replicate Lin Yi's miracles and use this chance to rise up and become another one of the five!
The five Giants were powerful, but this power did not solely rely on their invincible individual strength. At the same time, it was also the invincible Halo created by the public opinion. It was precisely because of this Halo that the five Giants 'names could suppress the heroes of all places.
Once someone added fuel to the fire, the Halo would be broken, and the heroes from all sides would be ready to make a move.
If the incident of the independent King were to repeat itself, even if Tianji, who was attacked by all of them, would not die like the independent King, it would definitely suffer a great loss, and even hurt its Foundation.
Lin Yi finally understood why Tianji was trying to get on his good side for no reason-it was waiting for him here.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this. "
Lin Yi wasn't an ungrateful person-he wouldn't just stand by and do nothing, even if the other party was up to something, just from the information he had on Mengyao.
Zhang Qiu was silent for a moment."Lin Wuju is a straightforward person. If you don't mind me, Zhang Qiu, befriending you, I'll definitely be your friend."
"We're friends, aren't we?"Lin Yi laughed.
No matter which angle he looked at it from, having a wandering know-it-all friend like Zhang Qiu wasn't a bad thing at all. After all, Lin Yi had a good impression of Zhang Qiu after their previous encounter.
After hanging up the phone, Hong Ba came over first.""I've just found someone to inquire about this quanfu. The older generation still has some impression of him. He's not a simple character. It's said that he has the strength of one of the quasi five Giants."
Putting aside old monsters like Xiang Yusheng, the five Giants were the ceiling of the retained students 'strength. If they were S-Class existences, then the quasi-five Giants were first-tier emperors, and their strength was definitely not to be underestimated.
Especially when quanfu was an ambitious hidden boss-level character like Hong Batian. Once they seized the opportunity, it was not impossible for them to break through and become one of the Big Five!
Lin Yi's position wasn't stable yet, and it was hard to predict what would happen if he went up against such a strong person!
But then again, since he had yet to gain a stable footing, he needed a sufficient stepping stone, and this quanfu was just right.
"It's good that he's stronger. If he's not strong, wouldn't it be too degrading for me to make a move?"
Lin Yi chuckled.
Seeing this, Hong Baxian didn't try to persuade him anymore. After all, his relationship with Lin Yi wasn't that bad yet. Besides, he was a fierce and ambitious person himself. Even if he was controlled by Hong Batian before, he couldn't change his fierce and ambitious nature.
