However, for the rookies, the real challenge had only just begun. That was because the fourth rookie assessment segment was about to begin.
And the content of this assessment segment was similar to the rookie assessment in previous years. It was the rookie challenge that everyone was familiar with.
However, compared to the previous year's challenge, which was purely a head-on ranking, this rookie challenge segment was not only a competition between the three pavilions. In order to be integrated with the other assessment segments, it highlighted a point system.
In this rookie challenge segment, every rookie's existing cave abode would be used as the initial ranking. The cave abode and corresponding points would be used as the spoils of war for each round of the challenge. The winner would be rewarded in real time. Naturally, the loser would also receive the corresponding punishment in real time.
Taking the Blue Cloud Pavilion as an example, there were a total of fifteen cave abodes at the foot of the mountain. They were divided into No.1 at the foot of the mountain to No.15 at the foot of the mountain. Each cave abode had a corresponding challenge point. No.1 at the foot of the mountain was worth 15 points, No.2 at the foot of the mountain was worth 14 points, No.3 at the foot of the mountain was worth 13 points, and so on. The last cave abode, No.10 at the foot of the mountain was worth one point.
Every time, be it taking the initiative to issue a challenge or accepting a challenge, the rookie would have to use the challenge points corresponding to his cave abode as a bet. If the challenger won, he would obtain the challenger's challenge points and obtain the challenger's cave abode. If he lost, he would lose his challenge points and the cave abode would remain unchanged.
Of course, only the cave abode with a lower ranking had the right to take the initiative to challenge a cave abode with a higher ranking. Furthermore, the other party could not refuse the challenge. If it was a cave abode with a higher ranking, one could not take the initiative to challenge a cave abode with a lower ranking.
For example, Lin Yi was in No.14 cave abode at the foot of the mountain. So, he could only challenge the rookies in the first thirteen caves, but he could not take the initiative to challenge Meng Tong, who lived in No.15 cave abode at the foot of the mountain.
And if he took the initiative to issue a challenge to the rookies in the first thirteen caves, for example, Li Zhengming in No.2 cave abode at the foot of the mountain.
Then, in the challenge between the two, the challenge points that Lin Yi needed to take out would be the two points corresponding to his cave abode at the foot of the mountain. As for Li Zhengming, due to his cave abode ranking being higher than Lin Yi, he could not refuse. Therefore, not only could he not refuse, but he also had to take out the 14 challenge points corresponding to the second cave abode at the foot of the mountain.
If Lin Yi won, then he would get 14 challenge points from his opponent, and he would also get his opponent's second cave house at the foot of the mountain. On the other hand, not only would Li Zhengming lose 14 challenge points, he would also have to live in the 14th cave house at the foot of the mountain until the next time he challenged someone.
On the contrary. If Li Zhengming wins, then he will get two challenge points from the opponent, and continue to live in the second cave under the mountain without changing, while Lin Yi will have two challenge points deducted, and continue to struggle in the 14th cave under the mountain.
Apart from that, the most important thing was … In the fourth segment, every rookie's Challenge Points were given according to the different cave abodes. Every rookie would be given corresponding Challenge Points in the first round of the Challenge Competition. The rest of the points used were from the previous assessment segment.
In other words, Lin Yi's initial points before the start of the challenge would be the two points corresponding to the 14th cave abode at the foot of the mountain, in addition to the 105 points he had obtained in the previous two rounds of assessment. Added together, it would be 107 points.
Whether his points would increase or decrease would depend entirely on his performance in the upcoming Challenge League.
However, not every rookie was as rich as Lin Yi. It had to be known that most of the rookie in the Blue Cloud Pavilion only had a total of 10 to 20 points in the previous two rounds. Even the initial points given in the Challenge Competition segment did not exceed 30 points.
Using these points as the gambling capital. If they were not strong enough, or if they did not choose the right opponent, they might lose all these points after a few rounds of the Challenge Competition.
In this way, no matter how low the ranking of the cave abode they were in, they would lose the right to take the initiative to challenge. And if someone came to challenge them. If they still lost, then the other party could normally obtain challenge points and cave abodes, but their points could only be deducted to negative points.
Any rookie, once they were reduced to such a point, would basically say goodbye to the three great pavilions. This was because this was simply a stain that could not be erased. Even if they could successfully reach the Foundation Establishment stage in the future, the three great pavilions would definitely not accept such a rookie. After all, it was embarrassing to say it out loud.
Apart from that, the Challenge Competition segment was the same as the Elixir Trial segment. It was a protracted battle that would last for a full two months.
On every day ending with three, six, or nine, every rookie had a chance to issue a challenge and accept a challenge. And if more than one person issued a challenge to the same person, the person who issued the challenge first would obtain the right to challenge, and the challenged party would not be able to refuse.
As for the other challengers, their challenge would be deemed invalid, and they could challenge other people.
In this way, in the next two months, there would be a total of 18 rounds of Challenge Competition.
Although not everyone would participate in every round of the challenge, the assessment points were not only directly related to the final reward for the rookies, but more importantly, it directly affected the evaluation of them by the three pavilions. It was related to their future, so it was not an exaggeration to say that the assessment points were their lifeblood.
In such an environment, as long as there was a chance to obtain points, no rookie would easily let it go. And the Challenge Competition segment was the best way to make the competition as intense as possible.
Unless they had completely given up hope, the rookies who were lagging behind would definitely not let go of any opportunity to challenge. When that time came, the difficulty of the Challenge Competition could be imagined. Don't forget, this was not just one or two rounds. It would last for a full two months.
Furthermore, other than the Challenge Competition, they also had to nurture the Elixir Seeds. Otherwise, even if they did well in the Challenge Competition, their points would ultimately be dragged down by the withered Elixir Seeds. When that happened, their points would be deducted instead, and all their hard work would be for naught.
Therefore, between the Challenge Competition and the Elixir Seeds, everyone had to make a balance. The difference was just more inclined towards the Challenge Competition, or more inclined towards the Elixir Seeds.
After all, they were not Lin Yi. Everyone had a limited amount of vital energy. Once it was used up, they would need to spend a long time to recover.
