"Hehe, Little Lan 'er, who do you hope to win?" Shanghai Tianhua said with a smile. {{wx}}
"Of course I hope that Little Junior Brother wins, but … but …" Shanghai Laner pursed her lips. Although she didn't want to say disheartening words, she had always been very confident in Lin Yi, but the problem was that Xu Lingchong was too strong after he came back. Previously, he could even easily crush a late stage Gold Core realm expert, and Lin Yi had a hard time winning against a peak middle stage Gold Core realm expert.
She just didn't like to cultivate, but under the influence of Shanghai Tianhua for so many years, she still had a good eye. She could see that unless Lin Yi had another strong trump card, it would be difficult to win against Xu Lingchong head-on.
"But you think that Lin Yi can't win against Xu Lingchong?" Shanghai Tianhua smiled noncommittally, and said indifferently: "Watch carefully, in so many years of inner court competition, this year's is the most interesting."
On the arena, Xu Lingchong looked at Lin Yi opposite him, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a proud smile.
He and Lin Yi were standing on this final arena, and it wasn't purely a coincidence, it could be said that he secretly found someone to arrange it, but he really didn't think that Lin Yi could actually reach this step, otherwise, if Lin Yi didn't have enough strength, even if he secretly arranged it, there was no way he could stay until now.
But this was just right, he found a late stage Gold Core realm expert for the first battle, announcing his strong entrance, and now he just happened to take Lin Yi's head in the final battle, to celebrate his ascension to the first Throne in the inner court competition, this was Xu Lingchong's original intention.
"It's really not easy for a pretentious newbie to stumble into the finals, but this Young Master isn't so exciting, there's no challenge at all, it's really boring." Xu Lingchong paused for a moment, then said with a playful expression, "With so many grudges between us, I should take this opportunity to properly torture you. However, this Young Master has decided to be merciful for once. I'll give you a word of advice. I admit defeat! "
"Oh, since you've made such a sincere request, I'll do as you wish and admit defeat," Lin Yi nodded and said with a playful smile on his face.
Huh? Did he admit defeat just like that?
Everyone in the audience was in an uproar. They had thought that it would be a fierce battle, and they were mentally prepared to witness a battle of the limelight. But in the end, Lin Yi actually admitted defeat?
It was like punching a cotton ball in the balls. In other words, you've already taken off your pants, and you're showing us this?
Not only were the audience dumbfounded, even Xu Ling, who was on the stage, had a look of disbelief on her face, unable to close her mouth for a long time.
Asking Lin Yi to take the initiative to admit defeat was just a joke he used to mock others. Even he himself felt that it was impossible. Who would have thought that Lin Yi would actually obediently do as he was told!
As for Shanghai Laner and Huang Xiaotao in the audience at the moment, their expressions were also stunned. Apart from being surprised, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, at least Lin Yi would not be injured.
Not only that. Even Shanghai Tianhua, who was next to them, after hearing Lin Yi's words, could not help but look stunned, and then he laughed and shook his head. This little guy really didn't play cards according to the routine!
However, it was also this unconventional way of playing cards that proved that Lin Yi was not a simple-minded boor. Not only did he have strength and potential, but he also did things calmly and knew when to advance and retreat. He did not care about temporary gains and losses, so that he could go further in the future.
In fact, Lin Yi already had a hard time winning against an expert in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir realm in the last round. He had used up a lot of physical strength and vital energy, and even suffered some minor injuries. Although his injuries had been healed by the Art of Dragon Mastery, and his vital energy had almost recovered under the replenishment of the space in the jade pendant, but the mental fatigue was not so easy to relieve.
With his current state, against Xu Lingchong, who was at the peak of the midday sky, it was not to say that he had no chance of winning, but at least it was very difficult, and he needed to pay a huge price to have a chance.
Knowing that his state was not good, but still forcefully acting tough, that was the behavior of a brainless boor. Lin Yi had not pretended to be pretentious to this extent.
One must know that even if Lin Yi directly admitted defeat, he would still be second in the individual battle, and he would still be able to get 49 points, which was only a little less than Xu Lingchong's 50 points. There was still the pair battle, and this little point could not be considered a difference at all.
After all, the final ranking was based on the sum of the points of the two battles. As for whether it was first or second in the individual battle, no one would care about it.
"Admit defeat just like that? Don't you, this pretentious newbie, always know how to act pretentious? Why don't you dare today? " After Xu Lingchong recovered from his shock, he instantly seized the opportunity to ridicule Lin Yi, and he mocked and ridiculed. "Looks like you, this Newcomer King, is still very sensible! I allowed you to jump around like this in the past, but it was only because I couldn't be bothered to pay attention to you. Now that I have the chance to deal with you, in the end, you became a tortoise that hid its head in its shell without saying a word. Bullying the weak and fearing the strong, you've really carried out the words very well … "
At the same time that Xu Lingchong seized the opportunity to ridicule Lin Yi without restraint on the arena, the people below the arena were pointing and discussing, and the gazes they shot at Lin Yi were obviously much more disdainful than before. Looks like this so-called pretentious Newcomer King that came out of nowhere is nothing more than this, and he has an undeserved reputation.
Lin Yi smiled indifferently, and utterly couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Xu Lingchong and the people below the arena, as if nothing had happened. He turned around and walked down the arena by himself, and the expression on his face was still carefree from the beginning until the end, as if he didn't care in the slightest.
At this point, the single battles of the first segment of the Inner Court Competition had all ended, and at the same time that a pile of topics were left behind, it could be summed up with a single word — new disciples emerge in large numbers.
The first, Xu Lingchong, was an Outer Court disciple that was participating in the Inner Court Competition for the first time. The second, Lin Yi, was instead simply a new disciple of the Welcome Pavilion. As for the others, Meng Tong, Yu Zhe, and the others, all of them had left a deep impression on everyone.
This sort of outcome was absolutely unprecedented, and everyone could already foresee that this generation of Inner Court disciples would surely become a golden generation that was sufficient to be recorded in the annals of history, and besides causing people to take delight in talking about them, they would lead the future of the three great pavilions of the northern island.
After the single battles ended, there would be three days of rest and reorganization time, and right after that would be the pair battles. Because the number of battles would be halved, the schedule of the battles at that time would be even more compact than the single battles, and it would be completed within a single day, and there wouldn't be any chance for rest and reorganization.
