After all, in the world of cultivation, there was no such thing as fairness. Artificially creating a fair environment, but in the end, the people that were selected would have to face a completely unfair and cruel world. Tragedies often occurred in this way.
But in the eyes of a powerful figure like Shanghai Tianhua, it was similar to the cruel and primitive competition of ten dogs that could truly select the most promising newcomers.
If ten puppies were thrown into the cave and killed each other, the last one to survive would definitely be the strongest one. This was the law of nature, cruel and simple, but extremely effective.
However, although Shangguan Tianhua felt disdain towards the suggestions of the Council of Elders, as the high and mighty Pavilion Master of the Soaring Sky Pavilion, he could not possibly interfere in every matter, no matter how big or small. Otherwise, others would say that he was stretching his hand too far.
The reason why he had spoken up this time was because these people were taking the rules of the trial too seriously. For the mighty Council of Elders to actually spend half a day discussing the rules of the Welcoming Pavilion, Shangguan Tianhua could not bear to watch any longer. That was why he had spoken up to reprimand them.
Of course, this involved all sorts of behind-the-scenes games between the giants. Some people wanted to make a mountain out of a molehill and use this to expand their influence, but Shanghai Tianhua wanted to suppress these signs. There was no need for outsiders to know about all these things.
Let's not talk about the games between the Elders Guild's higher-ups, but after Shanghai Tianhua spoke, at least there was no objection to this point. Without the protection of the corresponding rules, how to break this awkward stalemate would be left to the newcomers to solve themselves.
Because of all sorts of concerns, the ordinary newcomers did not dare to take the initiative to challenge, but the truly powerful newcomers would definitely not be bound by such a small problem.
Otherwise, if no one dared to break the stalemate, then it could only be said that this year's Welcome Pavilion did not have any strong people. At least, there was absolutely no peerless genius like the current Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, Ram Jie.
As expected, the awkward stalemate did not last long. In less than half an incense stick of time, it was broken. And the first person to issue a challenge was unexpected, but reasonable. It was the Blue Cloud Pavilion's Meng Tong.
Meng Tong was the first to take the stage. His invasive gaze slowly swept across the faces of every Blue Cloud Pavilion rookie. Every rookie that was swept by him would subconsciously shrink their necks, not daring to meet his gaze.
This kind of domineering feeling that no one dared to challenge was something that Meng Tong had been dreaming of ever since he entered the Welcome Pavilion, but he had never been able to achieve it. What was being in the limelight? This was truly being in the limelight!
Meng Tong couldn't help but let out a proud laugh. He was so arrogant that it was a complete mess.
"Why is this idiot so arrogant? If Boss Lin Yi wasn't in the number one cave abode and couldn't take the initiative to challenge others, would it even be his turn? When there's no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes the king! "Qiao Hongcai cursed.
Looking at the entire Blue Cloud Pavilion, there were only two people who had the strength to surpass the other rookies. One was Lin Yi. The other was Meng Tong.
As for the others like Xiao Ran and Li Zhengming, although they had a huge advantage in terms of strength when facing the other Blue Cloud Pavilion rookies, in the end, they were only Heaven Stage Full Circle. Even if they were stronger than other Heaven Stage Full Circle experts, they wouldn't be able to completely crush them.
To put it bluntly, the only ones who had the absolute strength to crush the other Blue Cloud Pavilion rookies were Lin Yi and Meng Tong. Because the two of them had already successfully built their foundation, they were already completely above these Heaven Stage Full Circle newcomers. They could absolutely crush them one on one. That was a matter of course.
And now, because Lin Yi had swapped cave abodes with Xiao Ran, he took the initiative to jump into the pit and was unable to extricate himself. Then, the only one who had the capital to be in the limelight was Meng Tong.
After all, the strength of an early-stage Foundation Building expert was right there. This was a fact that no matter how much Qiao Hongcai disliked Meng Tong, it couldn't change.
Listening to Qiao Hongcai's complaints, Lin Yi and the others looked at each other and smiled. This guy was at a disadvantage because he couldn't take the initiative to challenge Meng Tong, who had a lower ranking in the cave abodes. Otherwise, with his personality, he might be the first person to jump out and take the initiative to challenge Meng Tong.
"Let's see who this guy plans to challenge. If I'm not wrong, he should start with the two of you." Lin Yi speculated.
Sure enough, before Lin Yi finished speaking, Meng Tong on the stage locked onto Xiao Ran, who was beside him, and said loudly with a disdainful and proud expression, "I, Meng Tong from cave abode number 15, challenge Xiao Ran from cave abode number 14!"
As soon as he said that, the other Blue Cloud Pavilion rookies clearly heaved a sigh of relief. Then, their gloating gazes all focused on Xiao Ran.
Although strictly speaking, Meng Tong and them were all in Meng Jueguang's faction, it was precisely because there were too many people in their faction that they didn't receive any benefits or care.
Points were related to one's future. Meng Tong wouldn't give up, and neither would they. And if Meng Tong wanted to rise, he would have to step over their corpses in the end. This was unavoidable.
However, before being stepped under Meng Tong's feet, being able to see Xiao Ran fall before them was still a delightful scene.
Although he was already mentally prepared for this, when it really happened, Xiao Ran was still slightly stunned. Only then did he take a step towards the stage.
"Don't try too hard. Pay attention to protect yourself. It's not too late to get back at him after you reach Foundation Establishment. There's still a long way to go before the match. If you can't do it, just admit defeat." Lin Yi suddenly reminded him from behind.
Although Xiao Ran was very strong, there was still a huge gap between him and an early-stage Foundation Establishment expert like Meng Tong. He had almost no chance of winning.
However, Lin Yi wasn't worried that Xiao Ran would be so hot-blooded that he would fight to the death with Meng Tong. What he was worried about now was that Meng Tong would take the opportunity to kill Xiao Ran in the match!
The nature of the challenge was actually equivalent to a duel. Although there were some emergency measures, it never avoided life and death. As the saying goes, fists and feet have no eyes. Life and death are fated. This was the natural rule of the arena. Even the Welcoming Pavilion, which had always been very protective of newcomers, was no exception.
Just like the duel between newcomers, the challenge did not have any forbidden moves or other restrictions. Even if the opponent was killed on the stage, there would be no pursuit of any responsibility.
However, there was one point. This kind of challenge clearly stated that no weapons could be used. After all, a divine weapon could greatly affect a person's strength.
If a Heaven Stage Great Perfection newcomer suddenly took out a powerful divine weapon, it was even possible for him to challenge an early-stage Foundation Establishment expert. This was obviously unreasonable. After all, the Welcoming Pavilion needed powerful newcomers, not parasites that relied on divine weapons to survive.
