"As for the newcomers who have successfully reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, although you are qualified to participate in the Newcomer Competition, don't be too happy." Hu Yunfeng continued in a clear voice, "According to the usual rules every year, each of the three pavilions will only accept five newcomers. Therefore, you must compete with each other. Only in the upcoming Newcomer Competition and get into the top five can you truly become an official disciple of the three pavilions!"
As soon as the voice fell, the crowd of newcomers suddenly burst into an uproar. This year, there were very few people like Cha Wu who had not reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, but Hu Yunfeng's words involved the vital interests of most of them!
Looking at the three pavilions, each pavilion had at least twelve newcomers who had successfully reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. However, there were only five places for official disciples in the outer sect. One could imagine how fierce the competition would be.
Among the crowd, those who were strong enough to compete for the top five were certainly worthy of celebration, but what if they failed? They couldn't follow Cha Wu and the other trash to Spirit Jade Hall to mine, right? That would be too much of a scam!
Fortunately, Hu Yunfeng quickly answered their doubts, "The newcomers who did not get into the top five can continue to stay in the Welcome Pavilion and take on some duties, waiting for the opportunity to be promoted in the future."
The duties in the Welcome Pavilion that Hu Yunfeng mentioned referred to the position of Senior Steward. If one could become a Senior Steward, although it would not be as direct as becoming an official disciple in the outer sect, it would still be considered a good future.
However, the position of a Senior Steward depended on luck, and there would not be a vacancy all the time. Most of the people who stayed here generally took on the role of an ordinary Steward, similar to Kang Ming Ming's current Newcomer Steward, or even worse than Kang Ming Ming. They could only help Hu Yunfeng and the others, and did not have much power to speak of.
After hearing this, the newcomers were relieved. As long as they were not sent to the mining area, it was still acceptable. At least they wouldn't be too miserable.
"Well, what should be said has been said. Next, let's get down to business. The Newcomer Competition will begin immediately!" Hu Yunfeng immediately announced, "The rule of this Newcomer Competition is that there are no rules. The Elders of the three pavilions will be the judges, and all the newcomers will directly draw lots to compete until the top five are decided!"
As soon as the voice fell, Hu Yunfeng immediately signaled the Senior Steward of the three pavilions. He arranged for all the disciples to draw lots.
As it concerned their future, the rookies were in high spirits. One by one, they went to their steward senior brothers to draw lots. However, when it was Lin Yi's turn, Hu Yunfeng suddenly spoke from the stage.
"Lin Yi, you are now an early stage Gold Core expert. According to the rules, you can skip the outer sect official disciple and directly become an inner sect core disciple of the three pavilions. You don't have to participate, "Hu Yunfeng said lightly.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. However, when they thought about it carefully, it made sense. For a freak like Lin Yi, it was impossible for Lin Yi to defeat him. The other rookies did not even have the courage to face him, much less attack him. What was the point of him participating in the rookie tournament?
However, to be able to become an official outer disciple … Directly becoming an inner sect core disciple, this kind of treatment made everyone envious.
More than 90% of the outer sect disciples of the Three Great Pavilions. For the rest of his life, he could only bitterly stop here. The inner sect was something that he could only look at but not reach.
This was something that couldn't be helped. To become an inner sect core disciple, the minimum condition was to successfully form one's core. This was enough to keep most people out.
"May I ask Pavilion Master Hu, does this mean that I have nothing to do with this rookie tournament?" Lin Yi asked.
"That's right. However, the inner sect core disciples of the Three Great Pavilions also have an end-of-year examination. Moreover, it will start in two days. Although you don't have to participate in the rookie tournament, you have to participate in the end-of-year inner sect disciple competition. This is a special exception made for you by the elders." Hu Yunfeng said lightly with a hint of playfulness on his face.
This arrangement was actually Xu Lingchong's doing. It was personally proposed by his grandfather, Xu Yuanzheng, in the elders' meeting to embarrass Lin Yi!
To be able to become an inner sect core disciple of the Three Great Pavilions, every one of them was an elite among the elites. Although Lin Yi was awe-inspiring outside, he was still a newly advanced early stage Gold Core expert. Compared to these old Gold Core experts, there was definitely a big gap.
This year's end-of-year inner sect disciple competition was a heaven-sent opportunity to deal with him in a dignified manner!
When Lin Yi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. He had already faintly smelled the smell of a conspiracy. However, since this was an official arrangement, he couldn't say much. He could only nod his head in agreement and stand aside as an audience.
This news quickly reached the ears of Shanghai Laner. Although this little senior sister was naive, she was not stupid at all. She immediately went to find Shanghai Tianhua and wanted him to step in.
"Grandpa, it's really inexplicable. Little junior brother was actually arranged to participate in the end-of-year inner sect disciple competition. This is not fair at all! You still have the mood to practice calligraphy here. Why don't you step in and take care of it! "Shanghai Laner shook Shanghai Tianhua's arm and pouted angrily.
"Hehe, what's unfair about this? Lin Yi is now in the early stage of Gold Core, and in the last battle, he directly defeated Su Zhaohe in one move. Even some inner sect core disciples can't reach this level. If he doesn't participate in the inner sect competition, is he going to participate in the newcomer competition? Little Lan 'er, do you think that's fair to other newcomers? "Shanghai Tianhua smiled disapprovingly.
Shanghai Laner was dumbfounded by the question. After choking for a while, she said unwillingly, "But, little junior brother is still a newcomer after all. You can't specially target him just because he's powerful, right?"
"Little Lan 'er, although Lin Yi was specially targeted, at the same time, he also got the title of inner sect core disciple. It's not a loss for him, right? What's more, in this old man's opinion, it's hard to meet a good opponent. Instead of wasting time in the Welcome Pavilion, it's better to have a good fight with these inner sect core disciples. To be able to get this opportunity, I think he's looking forward to it! "Shanghai Tianhua continued to write and said with a smile.
"But … but even if he doesn't participate in the inner sect competition, little junior brother can still become an inner sect core disciple. This can't be counted as a reward …" Shanghai Laner still felt unfair for Lin Yi.
"Hehe, since little Lan 'er said so, it seems that we have to give Lin Yi some real benefits." Shanghai Tianhua shook his head helplessly, and then said with a smile, "So, if Lin Yi can shine in this inner sect competition and get a ranking, I will guarantee him the position of the Third Pavilion Master of the Welcome Pavilion. That's all right, right?" (I wish everyone a happy Valentine's Day.
