There was no doubt as to who was stronger between Lin Yi and Xu Lingchong. The latter was almost beaten to a dead man, and he might even be a corpse now. Was there any suspense in the outcome?
With the end of the double battle, the inner court competition was over. The points of the single battle and the double battle were tallied. Lin Yi had 99 points, and he deserved to be ranked first. The title of the Newcomer King of Welcome Pavilion would change from now on, and he would become the Newcomer King of the inner court!
As for Huang Xiaotao, although she did not get a single point in the single battle, she got 50 points in the double battle, which was enough to guarantee her entry into the top 50, and she was ranked 32nd.
It was worth mentioning that although Xu Lingchong was defeated in one move in the double battle, he was ranked first in the single battle, so he also got 50 points, and he was tied with Huang Xiaotao for the 32nd place.
As for Meng Tong, Yu Zhe, and Nan Tianba, their points were much lower than these three, but in the end, they still managed to squeeze into the top 50, just that they were ranked at the bottom.
The Inner Court Competition had come to an end, but the Golden Core Stage disciples that had gathered at the North Island Arena didn't disperse. On the contrary, they became even more nervous and agitated at this moment.
According to the practice of previous years, the meaning of the inner court competition, in addition to the allocation of cultivation resources for the next year, had another more important meaning, which was for the leaders of the three pavilions to choose disciples!
At this time, the elders of the Elders Guild, including the leaders of the three pavilions, had all appeared one by one. They would consider the performance of the disciples of the Gold Core stage in the inner court competition, measure their qualifications and potential, and then decide who to accept as a disciple.
Looking at all the leaders of the three pavilions who were present, in terms of status and strength. Shanghai Tianhua was ranked first, so the selection of disciples naturally had to start with him.
Of course, Shanghai Tianhua rarely accepted disciples, and there were very few people who could catch his eye. Normally, it would take decades or even hundreds of years. He might not accept one of them, but out of respect, regardless of whether he accepted or not, he had to make the first request.
The audience held their breath, although they all knew that they could not be chosen by Shanghai Tianhua. But when Shanghai Tianhua's imposing gaze swept over them, their hearts still couldn't help but skip a beat. Unfortunately, their luck was destined to fail.
Shanghai Tianhua slowly swept his gaze around and finally said four words, "Lin Yi. Not bad. "
The whole audience burst into an uproar. Not only were they shocked that Shanghai Tianhua would actually choose someone, but they were even more shocked that he was going to cross the line to choose someone.
Each of the higher-ups belonged to one of the Three Great Pavilions. Normally, they could only choose people from their own pavilions and could not choose people from other pavilions. Because that was something that could easily be taboo.
Although Lin Yi was a newcomer in the Welcoming Pavilion, he had already been assigned to Blue Cloud Pavilion. This was something that everyone could see. However, Shanghai Tianhua was the Soaring Sky Pavilion's Pavilion Master. This was clearly against the rules.
However, after Shanghai Tianhua finished speaking, the Golden Core stage disciples below were in an uproar. However, the higher-ups were still sitting upright and still. He didn't look surprised at all, nor did he have any intention of standing out to nitpick.
With the current strength of Soaring Sky Pavilion. It was not surprising that they broke the convention. Since Shanghai Tianhua had personally spoken. It didn't matter which pavilion Lin Yi was originally a disciple of.
Thinking back to the beginning, with Huang Xiaotao's personal experience, since Soaring Sky Pavilion could demote their disciples to Blue Cloud Pavilion, then naturally they could also accept disciples from Blue Cloud Pavilion. Especially since this was personally spoken by Shanghai Tianhua, no one would have any objections.
Under the stage, everyone's eyes focused on Lin Yi were all blazing and envious. Only Lin Yi himself was still indifferent.
Feeling the gaze of Shanghai Tianhua above his head, Lin Yi raised his head and looked at him. He didn't speak, but the corner of his mouth slightly curved. No one knew what he was thinking at the moment.
And Shanghai Tianhua, who was in the center of the audience, suddenly smiled after saying these four words. He actually got up and left, leaving a bunch of people in the audience puzzled.
What did this mean? After saying that Lin Yi was not bad, he directly left. Did this mean that he wanted to accept Lin Yi as a disciple, or just praise him?
"Grandpa, are you going to accept him or not?" Shanghai Laner was also anxious, so she quickly caught up and asked.
"Lan 'er, if Grandpa takes Lin Yi in, then he'll be older than you in terms of seniority. Do you agree? "Shanghai Tianhua smiled playfully as he walked.
"Ah? This … "Shanghai Laner suddenly choked. She didn't want to have a seniority with Lin Yi for no reason. This was not only embarrassing on the surface, but it would also cause trouble in some matters.
"Hehe, so of course I won't accept him." Shanghai Tianhua said with a smile.
"Then … Grandpa, why did you mention little junior brother's name?" Shanghai Laner asked with a puzzled look.
"Lin Yi is not a person in a pond. Unless he is a real master, otherwise, letting anyone be his master will only restrict his growth. The disadvantages are greater than the advantages. It is better to let him develop on his own." Shanghai Tianhua said seriously, "I don't want to restrict him. The reason why I said this just now is to prevent others from accepting Lin Yi as a disciple."
With Shanghai Tianhua's realm and vision, no matter who it was, he could almost see the potential and future of almost anyone at a glance. However, not only could he not see through Lin Yi, but he also could not see through him.
If he were to use a saying, Shanghai Tianhua only knew that Lin Yi's future was the sea of stars. Any so-called teaching, in the end, would only become his restraint.
If he were to find a case, it would be Ram Jie who appeared out of nowhere in the past before Lin Yi. Shanghai Tianhua used the same strategy and finally created the unfathomable Law Enforcement Hall Master.
Therefore, although he was called out by Shanghai Tianhua in public, and it was after the Inner Disciple Competition, such a clear-cut occasion, Lin Yi could not be regarded as his disciple completely. He could only be regarded as half a disciple.
After Shanghai Tianhua left, the audience was stunned and silent for a moment. Then they continued to select people, from the Mysterious Pavilion Master, the Blue Cloud Pavilion Master, to the Elders Guild, according to the tacit status and strength ranking, one by one.
In the end, the disciples who performed outstandingly in this Inner Disciple Competition were accepted as registered disciples by the big shots. From then on, they rose to the sky in a single bound. However, it was worth mentioning that from the beginning to the end, all the big shots seemed to have forgotten Huang Xiaotao, and no one mentioned her.
In terms of performance, Huang Xiaotao was remarkable in this Inner Disciple Competition. In addition to Lin Yi and Xu Lingchong, who were in the limelight, she left the deepest impression on everyone. In terms of potential, she was also a master of the Gold Core stage who had a perfect breakthrough. Her future was destined to be limitless. (To be continued)
