Lin Yi was waiting for Xue Jianfeng to say that. He smiled, "Alright, it's just a test. We'll participate."
"That's more like it!" Only then did Xue Jianfeng smile in satisfaction. The rest didn't matter. To him, as long as Lin Yi and the others could participate in the competition, his plan would be halfway to success.
"Alright, we've said what we need to say. Go back and prepare yourselves," Xin Yijie announced.
Everyone dispersed to rest and prepare for the competition in three days. Lin Yi, on the other hand, gathered Lingshan and the others together. "There's only three days left, but as the saying goes, sharpening a spear at the last minute isn't the fastest, but it'll still help. Otherwise, the competition won't be easy to fool."
"Boss, it's only three days, isn't it too late?" Chentian smiled bitterly.
"It's not late, not at all." Lin Yi smiled and said to everyone, "As long as you remember what I'm about to teach you, I don't know if it'll be useful for anything else, but it should be useful for the upcoming competition."
"What is it? Three days? "The group asked curiously.
"Haha, it's nothing profound. Do you still remember the summary of the practitioner's arts I received a few days ago?" Lin Yi smiled.
"Yes, but those are the arts of the sects on Sky class island, right? What's the use?" Lingshan asked curiously.
"Judging from the north island's Blue Cloud Sect and other clues, Sky Class Island and the immemorial small Jianghu are inextricably linked. The same sects in these two places practice basically the same mental cultivation. So although this is a summary of the mental cultivation of the sects in Sky Class Island, it can also be said to be a summary of the mental cultivation of the immemorial sects." Lin Yi explained.
The group nodded, but they were still confused, "What does that have to do with the test?"
"It's simple. Since we have the arts of the sects, we can use it to figure out the fighting style of the disciples and grasp their strengths and weaknesses. From there, we can come up with the most effective strategy. I've also created some counter moves while studying the manuals," Lin Yi said.
"Counter moves?" The group's eyes lit up.
"That's right, there aren't many. Each sect only has two or three moves, and they're not complicated, simple and practical. If you guys can learn these moves in three days, the benefits will be obvious." Lin Yi nodded.
"Fuck! Boss, you're not just making us cram at the last minute, you're bringing a cheat sheet with you! If we learn all of this, we'll be able to beat the disciples of the ancient sects in the test! "Chentian said happily.
"That's not necessarily the case. In order for the counter moves I've taught you to be effective, you need to have a certain level of strength. If the opponent's strength is too much higher than yours, then it won't be effective. But if that's the case, there's no point thinking about it. It's better to just surrender." Lin Yi smiled and said, "Alright, time's running out. Let's start."
"Alright!" Everyone replied in unison.
Three days later, everyone on the Transit Islands gathered again, including Xin Yijie. Everyone was staring at the Teleportation Formation eagerly.
Finally, a white light flashed, and a scroll appeared in the portal. Xin Yijie opened it immediately, and the rules of the test were written on it.
Xin Yijie looked through the entire document and nodded while stroking his beard. He then announced, "Everyone, listen carefully. What I'm about to say is the rules of this trial. If you miss a word, it'll be your loss."
"Yes," The group listened attentively.
"First, the test will be divided into eight teams. Those below foundation establishment will be in one team. Early stage foundation establishment, peak early stage foundation establishment, mid stage foundation establishment, peak mid stage foundation establishment, late stage foundation establishment, peak late stage foundation establishment, and perfect stage foundation establishment will be in their own team. Everyone, please take your seats. Now, please get into your teams," Xin Yijie ordered, and the group began to line up according to their strength.
At this moment, no one would play any tricks. Firstly, they did not know the intention of such a team. Secondly, there were no secrets between the brothers in the sect. They knew each other's strength and realm clearly. Moreover, Xin Yijie, a Gold Core Stage master, was watching them. It was impossible to fool them even if they wanted to.
Lin Yi gave the group a look, and Lingshan and the others nodded, walking into the group of early phase foundations- this caused quite a commotion. A lot of people didn't realize that they'd all succeeded, thinking that they were still Sky class full mastery.
But they were just surprised for a moment, not really taking Lingshan and the others seriously. After all, even if they succeeded in their foundation establishment, they were just the weakest early stage. They posed no threat to Archaic Alliance disciples, so naturally, they didn't have to worry about them.
As for Lin Yi himself, while he was the elder master of the Green Cloud Sect, that identity was only useful in front of people like Xin Yijie. The Archaic Alliance didn't recognize that. Being able to recognize him as a member of the Archaic Alliance was already giving face to the Green Cloud Sect. If he wanted to participate in the Archaic Test, he had to pass the test like everyone else.
Lin Yi didn't mind at all. He walked into the group of perfect stage practitioners. No one below golden core would be his match, no matter what the test was.
But there was one exception. It was Xue Jianfeng, who was smiling coldly at the side. This guy had been following the professor's orders and didn't show his strength. On the surface, he was still a perfect stage practitioner. He couldn't help but feel that it was a pity. If it weren't for the strict order from above not to touch Lin Yi, he would've killed Lin Yi to avenge himself.
"I can't kill him, but this is a fair opportunity. I can use this chance to beat him up. Even the higher-ups can't say anything about it," Xue Jianfeng thought.
In the blink of an eye, everyone had lined up. Only two people stood outside. One was Xin Yijie, and the other was Bing Wuqing. While they weren't the leader, they were still golden core practitioners. There was no point in them participating in the test.
"Alright, I will now announce the rules of the test. It's simple. Every team will draw lots to fight each other. There will be a round every two days for ten consecutive days, and there will be a total of five rounds. As long as you win three rounds, you'll automatically qualify for the test," Xin Yijie announced.
