After all, Meng Tong was not like Kang Ming Ming. These people were Young Master Xu's direct subordinates. For people like Meng Jueguang who were full of tricks, Young Master Xu still had the idea to take them in. However, for trash like Meng Tong, even if he took the initiative to join him, he would not be interested.
Of course, now that it was to deal with Lin Yi, it was a different matter. For him, if he could see Lin Yi being trampled on, it would be a great enjoyment!
However, even with his background, it was fine to help Meng Tong once in a while. If he had to bleed in every round of the challenge, it was not only unrealistic, but also unnecessary.
After all, Meng Tong's mission was only to test the depth of Lin Yi's strength. If they counted on him to directly kill Lin Yi, even if Young Master Xu helped him, it could only be said that they were indulging in fantasy!
After the few of them reached a consensus, Meng Jueguang immediately turned around and said to Lin Yi, "Since you have made up your mind to exchange abodes with Xiao Ran, and there is indeed such a rule, then as the Big Senior Brother in charge, it will not be good for me to stop you. Alright, I agree to this matter."
"Alright, then thank you for your understanding, Senior Brother Meng." Lin Yi smiled faintly. This answer was already within his expectations, and there was nothing surprising about it.
"Junior Brother Lin Yi is too polite." When Meng Jueguang, Xu Lingchong, and the others saw Lin Yi's calm and pretentious manner, they could not help but snicker in their hearts. What did it mean to have a simple brain but strong limbs? This Lin Yi was a typical example! Although his strength was not weak, he was helpless against his intelligence!
Since you've foolishly jumped into the pit, then don't even think about coming out. When the matter is settled, then I'll let Meng Tong weigh you and see how much you're worth!
After Meng Jueguang nodded, Lin Yi only needed to report this matter to the Welcoming Pavilion, and then Lin Yi would be able to exchange cave residences with Xiao Ran. Moreover, in the first round of the challenge in the afternoon, Xiao Ran would be able to take the initiative to challenge others as the owner of cave residence No. 14 at the foot of the mountain and compete for challenge points.
Time passed in a flash. After noon, the rookies of the Three Pavilions once again gathered in the Welcome Pavilion's main hall, preparing to begin the first round of challenges.
Facing this challenge round that was similar to the assessment system of previous years, all the rookies could not help but feel nervous and excited.
Although this was the fourth assessment segment, and the rookies should be very used to the assessment's rhythm, this was different from the previous three assessment segments.
The first three weren't easy. However, in the end, it was a one-sided assessment. Those with strength could score, and those without strength could not score. There weren't many variables or surprises.
But it was different this time. The challenge round was highlighted by competition, a brutal competition between rookies. There were too many variables and accidents in this, and it wasn't something that could be solved with just strength.
Planning and luck were important elements.
If one didn't prepare a strategy beforehand, it might not be useful even if one was strong. Once one was targeted, one wouldn't even know how they died.
Whether to take the initiative to challenge, when to initiate the challenge, and what to do when dealing with the challenge. Should they go all out to obtain points, or should they show weakness to preserve their strength, or even retreat in order to gain room for maneuver? These were the key questions that every rookie present had to consider.
If they could not give the most suitable answer, then even if they were stronger than others, they would still end up nursing a grievance in the end.
After Hu Yunfeng announced on stage, the first round of the challenge officially began.
The rookies of the Three Pavilions were split into three regions. They carried out the challenge at the same time, but for a moment, the scene was somewhat awkward. None of the rookies from the Three Pavilions took the initiative to challenge the other rookies.
It wasn't surprising that such a scene appeared. In fact, anyone with a bit of brains could figure out the trick behind it.
One had to know that according to the rules of the challenge. In every round, every rookie had a chance to initiate a challenge. It was optional, but don't forget that everyone had a chance to be challenged at the same time. This was something that couldn't be avoided. If you were really chosen, you wouldn't be able to escape.
As such, a problem arose.
Once you took the initiative to challenge someone, regardless of whether you won or lost, it would inevitably consume a large amount of your Qi. Even if you were stronger than others, once someone took advantage of your weakness and forced you to accept the challenge, it wouldn't bode well for you.
After all, everyone was a rookie. Even if there was a gap between them, it wouldn't be that big. Of course, a freak like Lin Yi was an exception.
Therefore, for any newcomer, the most frightening situation was that after they had just challenged someone, they would immediately be taken advantage of by someone else. That would be a huge loss.
Therefore, the current stalemate was inevitable.
In fact, when the rules were formulated, the upper echelons had already considered such a situation. There were also people who suggested setting up some additional corresponding rules.
For example, all challenges had to be reported in writing before the challenge began. Another example was to stipulate that every rookie had the right to be exempted from the second round. In other words, as long as they had taken the initiative to challenge someone before, they could not accept anyone's challenge in this round. This way, they could avoid the awkward situation of being afraid of each other in public.
There were many such suggestions. At least, the rules would look more fair and reasonable. Furthermore, it would also protect the rookies.
Fists and feet had no eyes. It wasn't rare for casualties to occur during a battle. In fact, in the past, there would be a few deaths every year. And if one was forced to participate in a battle when they weren't in the best condition, the possibility of casualties would only be higher.
However, in the Elders Council, Soaring Pavilion's Pavilion Master, Shanghai Tianhua, suddenly said something that made everyone shut up.
"What's the purpose of the rookie assessment? Isn't it to let the rookie with the most potential stand out? If they can't even deal with such a small problem, then what's the point of setting up some protective rules? Even if the rookie stands out, what's the use? Can he be the pillar of the three pavilions? "
As soon as he said that, the other elders were speechless. With Shanghai Tianhua's monstrous power, even the other big shots of the Elders Council wouldn't dare to disobey him.
In fact, when the Welcoming Pavilion submitted the assessment rules, Shanghai Tianhua scoffed at it.
