“Good! Good job! We should let this traitorous disciple’s face be covered in dust!” In the crowd, the two brothers, Nan Tianba and Nan Tianmen, saw this scene and immediately felt that they had vented their anger.
Lin Yi was their enemy as well, but their hatred for Yu Zhe was much higher. They were humiliated by Yu Zhe yesterday, and now they saw him in the same situation. It felt great!
Lin Yi didn’t pay attention to Yu Zhe, who was still cursing. He turned his attention to the other match. One of the main characters was Huang xiaotao, and her opponent today was Meng Tong.
If it was a coincidence, Lin Yi’s match with Yu Zhe was already a coincidence, but he didn’t expect Huang xiaotao to directly go up against Meng Tong. This couldn’t be explained by a coincidence anymore. Plus, the host of this inner sect competition was Xu Yuanzheng. It would be strange if someone didn’t secretly tamper with the drawing of lots.
Huang xiaotao and Meng Tong were both in the early golden core stage. Both of them had broken through to the early golden core stage perfectly. In terms of strength, they could be considered a pair of strong opponents.
However, Huang xiaotao’s martial arts techniques and weapons were at a huge disadvantage in the arena, especially in a one-on-one battle. There was not even one person who could cover for her.
It wasn’t easy for her to win against Wu bufan in the first round yesterday. Now that she was up against Meng Tong, who was also a perfect golden core stage cultivator, her chances of winning weren’t high. Even Lin Yi didn’t expect her to win.
Meng Tong’s strength was far from Wu bufan ‘S. He was also good at the thousand kicks, a speed-type powerhouse. It was much easier for him to close the distance with Huang xiaotao than Wu bufan. More importantly, Huang xiaotao’s move of turning an arrow into a spear after being closed in had been exposed yesterday. Once this kind of move was guarded against, it would be difficult to have any effect.
As Lin Yi expected, Huang xiaotao lost to Meng Tong’s legs after a joss stick’s time. Fortunately, Lin Yi had already told her to protect herself.
This time, Meng Tong followed Xu lingchong’s intention. He wanted to kill Huang xiaotao directly and put Lin Yi in a difficult situation in the next two-person battle. He didn’t expect Huang xiaotao to admit defeat after knowing that she was no match for him, leaving him with no way to start.
“Hmph, you’re lucky you escaped quickly!” Meng Tong sneered and glanced at Huang xiaotao. He walked down the ring and faced Xu lingchong. With a disdainful expression, he commented,”But,”
“That’s good. Lin Yi’s going to get himself into trouble with this trashy girl as his partner. ” Xu lingchong laughed and nodded in relief.
Huang xiaotao’s performance yesterday was a rare surprise. He was a little afraid at first, but now that Meng Tong had found out her background, there was nothing to worry about.
The second round of the individual battles ended in one morning, and the list of the top 50 was out. Lin Yi, Meng Tong, and Xu lingchong were all new faces of the inner sect competition.
Compared to the top 100, the value of the top 50 list was obviously higher. Getting into the top 100 could still be based on luck, but the top 50 required real strength. There was no doubt about that.
The top 50 were already considered to be upper-class figures among all the Golden core stage disciples. There was already a world of difference between them and the people behind them. At least they could already ensure that they would get points, even if the last place only had a little bit.
In the afternoon, the third round of the individual battles began. The remaining 50 people would attempt to enter the top 25.
However, there were not 25 matches in the competition. Among the top 50, some of them had won in the morning, but it was a narrow or even a Pyrrhic victory. Even if they were not seriously injured, they had exhausted their physical strength and true Qi and could not continue to fight.
Such a situation had already appeared in the second round in the morning. However, after a night’s rest, most of the people finally had the strength to fight, so it was rare to see people directly forfeit. Now, in the third round, at least ten of the top 50 were forced to forfeit.
They didn’t participate in the drawing of lots, but directly tied for the last place in the top 50, each obtaining one point.
As for the rest of the people, they would continue to draw lots to compete. Once they lost, it meant that they would stop. If they won, it did not mean that they could advance further. This was because in every round after this, there would be people who were not in good condition and could not continue to fight. They would withdraw after obtaining the corresponding points.
Lin Yi passed through the levels without any mishaps. He finally defeated a peak mid-stage golden core cultivator and entered the top fifty, entering the final individual round.
Such a powerful performance had truly shocked everyone present. He was only an early gold core expert and had only joined the three pavilions for a year. He had actually managed to break through all the barriers and enter the final round of the individual battles in the inner sect competition!
This was an unprecedented feat, a legend that could go down in the history books. Even Zhang Liju wasn’t this overpowered!
Of course, Lin Yi was able to have the last laugh not only because of his strength, but also because there were very few core disciples above the late golden core stage participating in the inner sect competition. Even those at the peak of the mid golden core stage were very rare.
Most of those who had reached this level were disciples of various high-level big shots. Some of them were even official disciples, so there was no need for them to participate in the inner sect competition.
Their cultivation resources were prepared by the higher-ups themselves, so they didn’t need to rely on the resources allocated by the three pavilions. Naturally, there was no need for them to participate in the inner sect competition. In fact, many of the core inner disciples would not participate in the inner sect competition the next year after they became the nominal disciples of the higher-ups.
Of course, there were some exceptions, just like Lin Yi’s fight against a peak mid-stage golden core cultivator, and Xu lingchong’s fight against a late-stage golden core cultivator.
Just as Lin Yi secured his spot in the finals, the other side also had a winner. The opponent Lin Yi was about to face was his old enemy, Xu lingchong.
It was already evening, and the two of them stood on the arena for the final match. The setting sun’s afterglow fell on their bodies, and it seemed to be dyed red with killing intent, making it difficult for the audience to look at them directly.
The atmosphere was already tense even before the battle started, and everyone’s interest was piqued. Whether it was Lin Yi or Xu lingchong, they were both influential figures, and now that they were both in the finals of the 1v1, it was explosive.
“Grandpa, who do you think will win, Little Junior Brother or that annoying fellow?” Shangguan LAN ‘er’s usually carefree face had a rare look of worry on it. Sitting beside her was Huang Xiao Tao, who had previously stopped in the top 100. She also looked worried. (To be continued.) ”
