"Stop! I admit defeat! "Ling Tianyou shouted at the last moment.
Only Lin Yi could retract his leg at this moment. If it was someone else, he would have kicked Ling Tianyou away. However, Lin Yi withdrew his leg effortlessly. He looked at Ling Tianyou meaningfully and thought to himself, "This guy is really not easy to deal with."
All geniuses were prideful. Even if a peerless genius like Ling Tianyou looked gentle and low-key on the surface, he was absolutely prideful in the bottom of his heart. This kind of person was usually very prideful. Even if they were forced into a desperate situation, it would be more difficult than ascending to the heavens to make them admit defeat. Unexpectedly, Ling Tianyou chose to admit defeat so decisively. Moreover, he was as calm as usual from the beginning to the end, without the slightest expression of shame or embarrassment. Just this temperament alone was already extremely remarkable.
With extraordinary talent and profound shrewdness, even Lin Yi had to admit that Ling Tianyou would be a formidable figure in the future if he really grew up.
"Well, I hereby announce that Lin Yi wins!" Xin Yijie announced on the spot. Everyone had not recovered from the shock until now. They were still immersed in the rhythm of the stalemate just now, but the winner was actually decided in the blink of an eye. This was too f * cking sudden.
Lin Yi looked indifferent. He turned around and was about to leave the arena. At this time, Ling Tianyou suddenly said behind him, "May I ask you a question?"
"Speak." Lin Yi turned his head and looked at him.
"How did you get rid of my flying needles just now?" Ling Tianyou asked. Logically speaking, his flying needles should have covered all three hundred and sixty degrees without any blind spots, but Lin Yi was able to get out of it so easily, and he wasn't hurt at all. It was really confusing.
In fact, he was not the only one who had this question. Everyone present also had this question. The only exception was Bing Wuqing. She was the only one who had seen Lin Yi's semi-primordial spirit state.
"Think about it yourself." Lin Yi smiled faintly. He was not stupid. The semi-primordial spirit state was his biggest trump card now. How could he reveal it to others so casually, especially in such a public place with so many eyes?
"Alright, then I'll seek your guidance next time." Ling Tianyou didn't continue pestering him. There was still a faint smile on his face, and he didn't look like a loser who had just admitted defeat.
Although he had indeed lost, it was just an insignificant match after all. He still had a trump card that he hadn't used yet. After all, there was no need to use it unless it was absolutely necessary. Compared to his life-saving trump card, what was the big deal about admitting defeat and surrendering?
Xue Jianfeng was speechless when he saw this scene. For him, the ideal situation for Lin Yi to fight against Ling Tianyou was for both sides to suffer. But now, both of them were completely unscathed. Ling Tianyou, this brat, admitted defeat just like that. Instead, he acted as if they appreciated each other's talents. It was truly a pain in the ass.
After both of them returned to their respective teams, Xin Yijie continued to ask in a loud voice, "Who else wants to challenge a higher level?"
This time, no one made a sound. Even a supreme character like Ling Tianyou had lost. It could be seen how difficult it was to challenge someone of a higher level. This was tantamount to a heavy blow to their heads. They didn't dare to act rashly anymore.
Challenging someone of a higher level was not a small matter. Not everyone would be as lenient as Lin Yi. What if they didn't have eyes and picked a ruthless person? What if the other party attacked ruthlessly or even killed you? There was no rule that no one could kill you in this competition.
Of course, the silence was only temporary. There were many people who were ready to make a move. It was just that the rules had just been announced, and they hadn't found a suitable target to challenge yet. In another two days. When they were almost ready, those who had the strength and confidence to challenge someone of a higher level would really emerge.
"In that case, let's start drawing lots." Xin Yijie immediately arranged for each team to draw lots. Although it was a little complicated, there were less than a hundred people in total. He could handle it all by himself.
The first to start was the strongest team of Foundation Establishment Perfection. Including Lin Yi and Xue Jianfeng, there were only eight people in total. They were all core disciples of various primordial sects, and they were all leading senior brothers. The duel between them almost represented the competition of the strongest disciples of their respective sects. It could be said to be full of gimmicks and naturally attracted attention.
After the results of the drawing lots were out, Xin Yijie took a look and smiled. He shook his head and sighed. "It's a pity that the entire Primordial Alliance wasn't mobilized for this trial in the secular world. Only the Central Island Alliance and the North Island Alliance were gathered. Otherwise, we could really make a ranking of the strongest disciples of the Primordial Alliance."
The eight people drew lots for four teams. Although Lin Yi had just fought a fierce battle with Ling Tianyou, he didn't receive any special treatment. Of course, he could also choose to forfeit, but then he would only have four chances left. He had to win three out of four to qualify for the trial.
It should be known that it was pure bad luck to be picked by someone to challenge someone of a higher level than him. If he lost, he would be eliminated. Even if he won, there would be no benefit. Not to mention that his True Qi would be wasted, he would also have to participate in the competition of the same level.
It couldn't be helped. The rules were cruel. They didn't ask for fairness, only survival of the fittest. After all, the trial competition was to prepare for the Primordial Trials, and there was no such thing as fairness in the Primordial Trials. Let alone this kind of battle, there was no such thing as fairness in the Primordial Trials.
Xue Jianfeng rubbed his palms together. He wanted to take this opportunity to teach Lin Yi a good lesson. Although he had absolute confidence in his strength as an Early-stage Gold Core expert, since Lin Yi had just been exhausted by Ling Tianyou, it would be a waste not to take advantage of this situation and save some energy.
Unfortunately, the result of the draw didn't go his way. In the end, Xue Jianfeng didn't encounter Lin Yi. Instead, he encountered the leading senior brother of another primordial sect. He couldn't help but curse his bad luck. Fortunately, he still had four chances.
Every time they drew a new lot, it was theoretically very easy for them to draw the same opponent. If it was a coincidence, it was possible for them to draw the same opponent five times. This was one of the special rules of this Trial Tournament. Not only was it a test of raw strength, but it was also a test of everyone's ability to adapt and recover. Any weakness in this aspect could become a fatal flaw.
Of course, if luck wasn't on his side, this sort of rule could very well cause Xue Jianfeng to miss out on Lin Yi in this competition, and Xue Jianfeng would have to save his revenge for the Primeval Trials.
