These were the exact words that Meng Jueguang had said in the information that Li Zhengming had provided, and their subsequent series of plans were all centered around this point. Their goal was to make Lin Yi suffer all sorts of taunts and provocations, and then lose his rationality, and make some decisions that overestimate his own abilities. Only then would they be able to create the perfect opportunity to kill Lin Yi!
Hu Yunfeng's "nameless taunt" was only the first wave, after this, these people would continue to think of ways to provoke Lin Yi, to provoke his pretentious nerves!
In all fairness, this plot that Meng Jueguang had planned was actually commendable, if it was anyone else who really liked to show off, if they did not receive information beforehand, if they did not hide their powerful abilities, perhaps there was a ninety percent chance that they would fall for it.
But unfortunately, not only did Lin Yi have the two advantages mentioned above, more importantly, he was not a guy who really liked to show off. With his style, when he really needed to be scared, he would not act rashly and irrationally.
"Alright, after this, Elder Zhao will seal the abilities of these examiners from the Enforcement Hall on the spot, all of you prepare yourselves, the test is about to begin!" Hu Yunfeng announced at last.
All the newcomers immediately gathered in groups of twos and threes, making their final preparations, and beside Lin Yi, naturally, was Senior Brother Bitter, Xiao Ran, Qiao Hongcai, and a few others.
At this time, Meng Tong brought a large group of newcomers from Blue Cloud Pavilion and walked to the front, glancing sideways at Lin Yi, and sneered disdainfully, saying, "Pretentious newcomer, last time because you lost control of the Pressure Formation, you got lucky and picked up full marks, but this time, it's a competition of true abilities, it's not something that can be passed with just a little bit of luck! I'll have to trouble you to ask around. What level are you going to choose? "
Lin Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, but before he could speak, the rookie beside Meng Tong had already begun mocking impatiently, "Isn't that obvious? He will definitely choose the perfected Heaven Realm. This fellow only relied on a Foundation Establishment Pill to succeed in Foundation Establishment. He doesn't have any strength at all. If he were to choose an early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, wouldn't he be beaten to death on the spot!?"
"That's right. Just now, Pavilion Master Hu Yunfeng said that if you challenge someone of a higher rank, you're either a hero or an idiot. But when it comes to us pretentious newbies, those words have to be changed. If you challenge someone of the same rank, you're definitely an idiot. So, it's better to play it safe and choose a Heaven Perfection Realm expert!"
"Why should we choose Heaven Stage Great Perfection? In my opinion, it's better to choose a Heaven Stage Late Stage Peak. If we're not careful, our pretentious newbie, an early stage Foundation Establishment expert, will be killed by a Heaven Stage Great Perfection in one blow. That's why it's better to choose Heaven Rank Late Phase Peak, it'll definitely be easy to pass! "
… …
The group of newbies who appeared with Meng Tong spoke one after another, mocking and challenging Lin Yi's patience. But no matter what they said, Lin Yi just watched coldly from the sidelines, not moving a muscle.
To put it bluntly, the reason why Meng Tong brought these people here was to provoke him.
These people did not know about Meng Jueguang's core plan, but as long as he promised them benefits, they would just have to say a few words in front of Lin Yi. It was not a difficult task at all. Naturally, they were happy to cooperate. Moreover, Lin Yi already had a conflict with them during the trials at the back of the mountain. Moreover, Lin Yi had previously obtained a God-level full score that everyone was extremely envious of. They had long disliked Lin Yi!
Lin Yi already knew the inside story, so no matter how this group of people mocked and provoked him, he remained indifferent. But the bitter senior beside him could not stand it anymore.
The bitter senior could not help but want to come out and reprimand them. No matter what, he was the senior in charge of the Blue Cloud Pavilion newbies. No matter how Meng Jueguang made him a mere figurehead, he still had the authority to reprimand the newbies.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai were filled with righteous indignation. They even wanted to come out and challenge them to a battle, to teach these ungrateful bastards a lesson!
But Lin Yi extended his hand and stopped them. Arguing with these people with ulterior motives was purely a waste of saliva. There was no need. But on the surface, Lin Yi's expression could not help but turn gloomy.
Seeing Lin Yi's gloomy face and not saying a word, Meng Tong was secretly delighted. From his point of view, the more Lin Yi held back his words, the more likely he would act tough later. This was because this guy was used to posturing. Later, he would definitely choose a higher rank to ruthlessly slap their faces!
But before that, he had to give this guy a strong dose of medicine to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Meng Tong raised his hand, and the newbies behind him immediately stopped talking. Only then did he say smugly, "Regardless of what rank you, posturing newbie, are planning to choose, I still have to be merciful and inform you. Otherwise, when the points that you obtained with great difficulty are overtaken, it would be too much of a pity if you commit suicide in a moment of helplessness! Let me tell you, I plan to choose the peak of the early stage of Foundation Establishment! "
The moment this was said, the surrounding newbies immediately gasped in cooperation. Their surprise was not faked, but it was truly a shock that came from the bottom of their hearts. This was because before this, Meng Tong had never said that he wanted to choose the peak of the early stage of Foundation Establishment!
Challenging someone of a higher rank was the behavior of a retard. Pavilion Master Hu Yunfeng's words just now were not said for fun. Don't forget that defense was a weak point for most people. To be able to withstand a full blow from an expert of the same rank was already considered rare. Challenging someone of a higher rank in such an environment was no different from courting death!
But Meng Tong had said it so confidently. From his expression, there was no hint of falsehood. He really planned to challenge someone of a higher rank!
"Hehe … when the time comes, I'll have a fourth-grade Great Recover Pill in my mouth, and at the same time get the examiner to secretly go easy on me? This way, I really do have the capital and confidence to challenge a peak of the early stage of Foundation Establishment. " Lin Yi smiled coldly to himself without batting an eyelid. This point had been specifically mentioned in Li Zhengming's information.
Originally, for the sake of fairness and impartiality of the assessment, no one was allowed to take any medicinal pills. Otherwise, if they took a near-nature-defying life-saving medicinal pill like the fourth-grade Great Recover Pill, as long as they could hold on for a moment, they would be guaranteed not to die. Moreover, they would be able to quickly recover from their injuries afterwards. This was practically cheating!
If it had been anyone else, Zhao Hongbo, the elder judge, would have definitely stepped in to stop them in order to maintain his glorious, upright, and positive image. But Meng Tong was a key part of their plan to provoke him. For the sake of Xu Lingchong, Young Master Xu, even Zhao Hongbo would only turn a blind eye.
