Beauty and the Bodyguard

For cultivators, strength could only represent one moment, but determination was the key to affecting the limit of their strength in the future. Only those who had the same strength and determination could obtain enough points in such a test.

Otherwise, if one was lacking in any aspect, be it strength or determination, it would be impossible to obtain high points in this kind of test. Only in this way could the meaning of the newcomer assessment be reflected, and the value of each point.

One had to know that every point gained in the newcomer assessment would be recorded in the archives of the three pavilions. It would affect the level of recognition the three pavilions had for each newcomer. The amount of points not only determined whether one could gain an advantage in the newcomer assessment, but it also affected the treatment one would receive after entering the three great pavilions.

After all, even the best cultivation resources in the three great pavilions were limited. When the time came, would these resources be distributed to the trash with low points and weak in all aspects, or to the geniuses with high points and strong in all aspects? The answer was clear.

Lin Yi wasn't the only one who knew this-all of the other newbies knew this as well, and so none of them dared to slack off. They had to give it their all. Otherwise, he would not only lose the starting line, but his entire future cultivation career.

After the test officially began, all the newcomers from the three pavilions began to use their mental cultivation methods to resist the pressure. It was as if they were facing a great enemy, and they were going all out. They were afraid that even the slightest bit of slack would cause them to lose their footing. However, there were a few people who were clearly more relaxed than the others.

Kang Zhaoming, Zhong pinliang, Meng Tong, and Lin Yi were all at the early Foundation Stage and above. They were much stronger than the newbies who hadn't even reached the Foundation Stage yet, and it was much easier for them to deal with them.

After all, putting aside the strength of their mental fortitude, the four of them were powerful and naturally had more capital than the others. If everyone's mental fortitude was on the same level, then they would definitely have the last laugh without a doubt.

And of the four, Lin Yi was the one who was the most at ease-not only because he was at the peak of the early Foundation Stage, but more importantly because he had the Jade space behind him, which allowed him to replenish the lost Qi at any time.

In other words, if it was just like the summit of the hidden families in the secular world, where he was only being pressured with his physical body, he could sit here for as long as he wanted, because the true Qi in his body would never run out.

But this time, there was an even more powerful spiritual pressure, and it was a whole new test for Lin Yi. But even so, he was still far more composed than the others. The logic was the same, his capital was far more robust than all the others combined!

He didn't have to worry about running out of pure Qi-he just had to focus on the mental pressure. This was Lin Yi's biggest advantage over the others.

In terms of determination, don't forget that this guy was a strong man who had fought his way up from the secular world. He was as calm as ever when he criticized others, and he had always gotten stronger when he met someone stronger. He had never retreated. How could such determination lose to others? Nonsense.

However, while Lin Yi was able to maintain his composure, the others didn't have the ability to do so, nor did they have a strong will like him. After holding on for a short while, sweat started to appear on the rookies 'foreheads, slowly sliding down. This was a sign that they were starting to struggle!

One had to know that Sky Class full cultivation practitioners, under normal circumstances, no matter how intense they were, or how high the surrounding temperature was, as long as their body's Qi was not exhausted, they would never show the fatigue of an ordinary person.

Once they showed such signs of fatigue, it meant that they were not far from being weak ordinary people!

Sure enough, after half an incense's time, the first person to withdraw appeared. It was a new disciple of the GreenCloud Pavilion. Although it had only been half an incense's time, when he walked out of the high platform, his legs were already trembling and his body was soaked in sweat.

The man looked back unwillingly, but in the end, he could only hang his head in dejection and move to the rest area on the side with heavy steps.

If he did not last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, it meant that his score for this assessment was zero. Being the first to withdraw meant that he only had one point in his ranking. Adding the two segments together, his score for the first segment was a pitiful one point.

In theory, this was the lowest number of points that could be obtained. Even if others wanted to get lower points than him, it was impossible.

However, no matter how unwilling he was, one point was a foregone conclusion. Meng jueguang and the miserable Shixiong, the two managers of the pavilion, had already recorded him down, and would hand him over to Kang Zhaoming, the new manager, to announce it all. There was no way to change it.

If he was given another chance, even if he knew that he would become a shameful laughingstock in the future, he could only clench his teeth and make the same choice. After all, if they overrated themselves and continued to stay in there, not only would they not be able to get more points, but they might even lose their lives here. This was not a joke!

After the first precedent, a second and third soon followed. By the time Pavilion Lord Hu Yun Feng ordered someone to light the second joss stick, a third of the seats were already empty. In other words, one-third of the newcomers in the three pavilions could not last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before they had no choice but to quit.

This was in line with the statement on the notice. There were six segments to the newcomer assessment, and every point was not that easy to obtain!

Even now, Lin Yi was still at ease, not feeling any obvious pressure. He was starting to show signs of mental fatigue from the pressure, but it didn't affect the flow of Qi in his body. This, in turn, reduced the pressure on Lin Yi himself, so that he wouldn't end up in a vicious cycle of mental and physical burden.

All the newbies, including Lin Yi, knew that once a vicious cycle started, it meant that they wouldn't be far from being eliminated.

After the second joss stick was lit, many of the newcomers in the hall were clearly relieved. Not long after, they began to leave the venue.

This kind of double pressure torture was really not something that ordinary people could endure. To be able to persist for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn and obtain five time limit points was already a result that they were satisfied.

Since they knew that there was no hope of holding on until the second incense stick burned out, they might as well quit instead of fighting for the ranking and points. At least they wouldn't have to risk their lives.

When he lit the 3rd joss stick, the total number of all the newbies in the 3 pavilions was less than the number of fingers on one hand ...
