Once fairness was lost, the so-called Newcomer Assessment would be completely meaningless. This was because, no matter how much effort was put into it, it would be impossible for the newcomers with true potential to stand out. The three pavilions had invested so many cultivation resources, it would really be a waste.
However, those who had yet to recover from their injuries needed to stay in the Welcome Pavilion to receive supervision. Newcomers like Lin Yi, who had already been examined by Zhao Hongbo, were not subject to this restriction. They could return to their cave abodes early to carry out their daily cultivation.
In consideration of the newcomers who were more seriously injured in this segment, the third segment of the Newcomer Assessment would begin in ten days.
Normally, ten days was enough for a rookie to recover from his injuries, no matter how heavily injured he was. If he had not recovered after ten days, then the rookie would not have much of a future. So what if it affected his performance in the next round of the assessment?
They were all trash anyway, and trash never had human rights.
For a newcomer like Lin Yi who had completely recovered on the spot, these ten days were a very rare opportunity to rest and recuperate.
According to the rules of the assessment announced on the announcement, the subsequent segments would not end on the same day like the previous two segments. Instead, it would be a rather long battle of attrition. Not only would it consume one's physical strength, but it would also consume one's mental energy. Hence, if one did not take the opportunity to recuperate, it was very likely that unexpected problems would occur.
Apart from recuperating, in these ten days, the ambitious newcomers could also specifically prepare for the next segment of the assessment. Although it was also a last-minute effort, it was better than not doing it at all.
However, while the others were smug and preparing for the next segment, Lin Yi did not take this matter to heart. He cultivated when he needed to cultivate, mined when he needed to. His daily routine was exactly the same as before.
When the others saw his leisurely manner, apart from feeling envious, they did not dare to say anything to mock him. After all, he had two God Level full marks in his hands. His superhuman strength had been completely revealed. Naturally, he had the capital to be leisurely.
At this time, if they still mocked him like before, it would only mean that they were idiots.
In these ten days, Lin Yi also received information from Li Zhengming. Meng Jueguang and his gang planned to use all sorts of methods to understand his strength in the next segment of the assessment. He had to think of all kinds of ways to figure out the ins and outs of his strength, especially this defensive martial skill that he had hidden so deeply!
Defensive martial technique? When he first received the report, Lin Yi was completely stunned. It was only after he read Li Zhengming's explanation of why this group of people came up with this speculation that he came back to his senses. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
It was clearly a stroke of genius. In the end, people thought that he had purposely hidden a strong defensive martial technique. The development of this matter was a little strange, making Lin Yi blush with shame.
However, this was also good. Meng Jueguang and the others thought that after they figured out the reason, they would no longer question why he was able to withstand the 130% power of the early stage of Foundation Establishment. This way, at least Lin Yi's true strength would not be exposed, which was a good thing.
As for the so-called defensive martial skill? Since this group of people liked to guess like this. Then let them guess. The more they guessed, the better. Maybe when the time came, Lin Yi wouldn't even need to do anything. They would guess it themselves, and it would save a lot of trouble!
In addition, what Lin Yi had to do every day was to go to the Spirit Jade Hall to dig in the mines during the day and steal two or three pieces of waste jade. At night, he would come back to continue cultivating and consolidate the strength of the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
However. Before entering the next segment of the assessment, there was still an important event waiting in front of Lin Yi. The monthly open day of the inner street had finally arrived!
Since the last time he saw the Star Inkstone at the Hong Chamber of Commerce, Lin Yi had been thinking about it and made all sorts of preparations for it. After all, this damn thing was once one of the strongest people in the entire Heavenly Island. Something that even he had to look up to was definitely not an ordinary thing. Lin Yi was naturally determined to get it.
However, thinking of the last time he met the inner disciple of the Soaring Sky Pavilion who was similarly interested in the Star Inkstone at the Hong Chamber of Commerce, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.
Although the Star Inkstone's price of one thousand spirit jades was enough to make most people shrink back, and because of its unattractive appearance, very few people would pay attention to it. Even less people would spend so many spirit jades to buy a broken stone of no use at all. However, there were still people in the world who knew what was good for them, such as that inner disciple of the Soaring Sky Pavilion.
Judging from his performance at that time, this inner disciple of the Soaring Sky Pavilion should not have enough spirit jades on him. Moreover, although he was from the Soaring Sky Pavilion, apart from young masters like Xu Lingchong who had an extremely deep background, a thousand spirit jades was still a huge sum of money for the majority of the inner disciples of the Soaring Sky Pavilion. It was not that easy to gather.
However, if one really wanted to do it, if one was really determined to get it, it might not be impossible to gather a thousand spirit jades. At least, Lin Yi had heard from Senior Brother Ku Bi that some of the inner disciples of the Three Great Pavilions were privately taking loans at high interest.
If one went through this route, although the price was huge, and could even be said to be absolutely disastrous, it was not difficult to gather a thousand spirit jades!
Lin Yi didn't know whether that inner disciple of the Soaring Sky Pavilion was as determined to get it as he was, and even more so didn't know how determined that person would be for the Star Inkstone. However, at this moment, he already felt an indescribable pressure.
If that person really gritted his teeth and gathered a thousand spirit jades, and if that person had the right to freely enter and exit the inner streets, unlike him who had to wait for the inner streets to be opened, then he would really miss the opportunity to obtain the Star Inkstone!
Moreover, an entire month had already passed. Apart from that person, could there be other competitors who knew what was good for them? Perhaps that piece of Star Inkstone had already fallen into someone else's hands?
For a moment, Lin Yi actually felt a little worried about his personal gains and losses. However, he immediately reacted and laughed in spite of himself. "If I get it, I'll be lucky. If I don't, it's my fate. Regardless of whether I can get it or not, as long as I do my best, there's nothing to regret."
After calculating the date, in the wee hours of the inner streets being opened to the public, Lin Yi put on the Thousand Thread Mask and left under the stars and the moon.
He planned to rush to the Hong Merchant Guild to snatch the Star Inkstone as soon as the inner streets were opened to the public. If he arrived and discovered that the Star Inkstone had already been bought by someone else, then he could only say that this was his fate and that he was not the fated person for the Star Inkstone.
