Even Meng Jueguang couldn't bear to watch Meng Tong's stupidity any longer. After gesturing for him to shut up, Meng Jueguang turned to Li Zhengming and said in a low voice, "Zhengming, why don't you take out some more spiritual herbs before the final announcement of the rankings? After all, if we have the same number of points, it won't be easy! "
Li Zhengming gritted his teeth and looked at Meng Jueguang. He said in a low voice, "Senior Meng, I have 320 points right now and am ranked tenth. If I take out another spiritual herb, then I will fall out of the top ten!"
Li Zhengming didn't have too bad of a medicinal herb in his possession. The lowest points he had were two points, and the eleventh ranked person had 319 points. Even if he took out the lowest point medicinal herb, he would still be ranked eleventh!
Meng Jueguang was slightly surprised and said, "You want the reward for the top ten? No problem. As long as Meng Tong gets first place, I will have him compensate you with five pieces of spiritual jades. This is much more generous than the three pieces of spiritual jades you get for the top ten, right? "
Unexpectedly, Li Zhengming was not moved at all. He shook his head and said, "Senior Meng, you misunderstand. I am not greedy for this little bit of spiritual jades. I just don't want to fall out of the top ten. In all the official competitions of the Welcoming Pavilion, whether it is the Newcomer's Trial or the Ranking Competition, as long as you fall out of the top ten, it will leave an indelible stain on your resume. Once you carry this stain, it means that you are lacking in at least one aspect. Even if you enter the Blue Cloud Pavilion in the future, you won't be valued and will only be reduced to a marginal character. These words were personally said by you, Senior Meng! "
With this, Meng Jueguang was immediately speechless.
These words that Li Zhengming said were indeed taught by him, and they were the truth. It was just that he didn't think that these words would have such an effect at a time like this. And it was even counterproductive!
In that case, if it was just to let Meng Tong take first place over Lin Yi and force Li Zhengming out of the top 10, it was indeed a little unreasonable. No matter what, Li Zhengming was the first newcomer besides Meng Tong to rely on him. It was not a good thing for him to cheat his own people. If word of this got out, it would probably disturb people's morale.
However, with the situation having developed to this point, he could not use the same trick again. He could not possibly say that Meng Tong had left some elixirs with other rookies, right? That would simply be an insult to the intelligence of everyone present. Perhaps even the three elders would not continue to acquiesce.
Now that things had come to this, they could only let Young Master Xu think of a way to exert some influence. Fortunately, although Meng Tong's current score was not higher than Lin Yi's, it was not lower either. It should be easier to manipulate.
Meng Jueguang explained the situation to Xu Lingchong and Hu Yunfeng in detail. Although Xu Lingchong was a little dissatisfied that this guy couldn't even do such a small thing properly, Although Xu Lingchong was a little dissatisfied that this guy couldn't even handle such a small matter, he could only nod with a gloomy face in order to prevent Lin Yi from taking first place.
After all, at this time, other than him personally appearing, the others, including Hu Yunfeng, were too low-level. There was no way they could directly talk to the three elders, and it was even more impossible for them to do them a favor.
Xu Lingchong rushed over and said a few words to the bald elder sitting in the middle. Then he nodded to Hu Yunfeng and Meng Jueguang, the matter was settled.
Hu Yunfeng and Hu Yunfeng were instantly overjoyed. They secretly praised Young Master Xu in their hearts. No matter where he went, he was popular. Even the elders of the Back Mountain Hall had to give him face!
However, the two of them were really thinking too much. Although Young Master Xu's face was not small, it was definitely not to the point where even the elders would have to give him a favor.
The reason why he was able to settle it so smoothly this time. It was entirely because this bald elder had a good personal relationship with his grandfather, Xu Yuanzheng. Otherwise, even he, Young Master Xu, would not even be able to say a word to him.
In the Three Great Pavilions, regardless of whether one entered the Elders' Guild or not, any Elder was a big shot. Ordinary disciples could only tremble in fear in front of them. This was a rule that even someone with a powerful background like Young Master Xu could not easily overstep. Of course, if it was an elder who had a good relationship with his grandfather, then it would be a different story.
After receiving Xu Lingchong's signal, Hu Yunfeng cleared his throat and said in a clear voice, "Now that the final score is out, Meng Tong has 1,800 points and Lin Yi has 1,800 points, both of them are tied for first place. But according to the rules of the previous rookie trials, there has never been such a thing as a tie. If the two people end up with the same number of points, then the Elders stationed at the back mountain hall will determine the winner based on their performance in the trial. "
These three elders were actually able to observe everyone's behavior and performance during the trial? Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, but after thinking about it, he understood.
Since Hu Yunfeng said this in front of everyone, it shouldn't be nonsense, so it was clear that there was something going on.
With the powerful strength of these three Elders, if they were to cooperate with the various restrictions and arrays in the back mountain, it shouldn't be too difficult to monitor the situation in the back mountain. After all, their main task was to protect the back mountain. If they couldn't even do the most basic monitoring, how could they protect it?
However, Lin Yi believed that even if it was monitoring, it definitely wouldn't be too detailed. At most, they would only pay attention to a few places with relatively large movements. After all, the back mountain was so big. If they really paid attention to every place, then not to mention the three Elders, even if there were thirty or three hundred people, they would only be exhausted to death.
This made Lin Yi secretly keep an eye out. If he were to enter the back mountain in the future, he had to be careful when he did something big. If not, he didn't know when his secret would be discovered by others, and that would be troublesome.
Under Hu Yunfeng's request, the people involved, Lin Yi and Meng Tong, walked to an empty space in front, so that the Elders could recall their performance during the trial.
Everyone held their breaths and waited. The bald Elder in the middle, who had the most authority to speak, carefully examined the two of them. Just as he was about to announce the results, there was a sudden commotion from the rookies below. Then, a little guy with black and white clothes jumped out from the crowd and jumped onto Lin Yi's back.
The bald Elder's eyebrows twitched. Just as he was about to reprimand him, the pretty figure that followed made him swallow the scolding he was about to say. There was no other reason. The girl's background was so deep that even he was frightened!
