Beauty and the Bodyguard

3769 The strange rules

In this, how to choose to maximize the benefits was definitely a technical job that required careful consideration. Otherwise, no matter how strong one was, it would be useless and of no benefit, let alone have the last laugh.

The other newbies, however, had to think about this problem carefully. Lin Yi and his followers, on the other hand, didn't have to worry about it at all.

They'd given the seeds to Lin Yi already, and all they had to do was focus on the challenge. They could do their best without any worries, and they were much happier than the other newbies.

After Hu Yunfeng explained the rules in detail, he let the newcomers of the three pavilions go back to prepare. Since today was the 19th, it just so happened to be the day set for the challenge competition, so the first round of the challenge competition would officially begin in the afternoon. There was not much time left for the newcomers to prepare.

After Hu Yunfeng's announcement, the rookies did not disperse. They all gathered in groups of two or three to discuss countermeasures.

After all, three heads were better than one. If he went back and worked on it alone, he might get himself killed. Even if they were not really honest with each other because of their competitive relationship, they could still gain something from this discussion. At least they would not be left alone.

"The rules of this challenge are a little strange. I don't really understand them!" Qiao hongcai scratched his head in confusion as he spoke to Lin Yi and the others.

Xiao ran nodded in agreement,""It's a bit. Normally, these kinds of challenges are simple and direct. Try your best to challenge as high a position as you can, unlike now, where there are all kinds of restrictions, preventing people from going all out."

It was true that for them, they didn't have to worry about the cultivation of spiritual herb seeds like the others, and they had a lot less to worry about. However, even if it was just for the challenge, there were still many tricks in these rules, and they weren't as simple and crude as before.

For example, the challenge Round this time would last for two months. Even if they didn't care about the supply of genuine Qi for the spiritual herb seeds, they still had to distribute it reasonably. Otherwise, if they exerted too much strength in the beginning, it would be useless even if they got points temporarily. They would still lose, or even lose more, if they didn't have enough strength later.

Another example was that, according to the rules of this challenge, it was not that the higher the ranking of the cave abode, the better it was. It was true that obtaining a better cave abode could help with cultivation, and even the cultivation of spiritual herb seeds could benefit from it.

However, the problem was that it also meant that the risk was greater. Once they lost the challenge, the challenge points deducted would be much higher than those of the newcomers who had inferior immortal caves!

For newcomers like Xiao ran who lived in cave No. 1 at the foot of the mountain, although it looked very impressive at first glance, and the cave had an advantage because of the rich spiritual energy, and under these rules, in addition to the initial points accumulated in the previous two assessment rounds, he could also get an additional 15 points corresponding to cave No. 1 at the foot of the mountain, which was higher than all the other 14 cave abodes. Everything seemed beautiful, but it was only on the surface.

In fact, in terms of the announced challenge rules, Xiao ran, who was in cave No. 1 at the foot of the mountain, was definitely the most disadvantageous one among the fifteen people.

Putting aside the fact that he would have to hand over all 15 points if he lost, the most crucial and fatal point was that according to the rule that only those with lower ranks could challenge those with higher ranks, he did not have the right to challenge anyone!

Cave No. 1 and 15 challenge points were definitely the most valuable rewards for this round of the challenge. In the end, there would definitely be new people who couldn't resist challenging him. However, the key was whether or not to challenge and when to do so. It was all up to the competitors!

If the others had figured out this rule and realized the potential disadvantage of cave number one at the foot of the mountain, and arranged it for the last round two months later, Xiao ran would really cry to death.

Xiantian was in a completely passive position. If no new people took the initiative to challenge him in the early and middle stages, no matter how hard he worked, no matter how outstanding his strength was, it was all in vain. He could only obediently hold back in cave number one at the foot of the mountain, unable to do anything.

On the other hand, Meng Tong, who was currently in the last place, cave number 15, seemed to have the worst cave. However, in reality, he had a huge innate advantage. He could take the initiative to challenge any newcomer of the GreenCloud Pavilion, and at the same time, he could follow his own will and rhythm to maximize the points gained in this segment.

To give a simple example, if he had absolute confidence in his own strength, then in the next 18 rounds of competition, he could completely hold back in the first four rounds. This way, no one could challenge him, and it was an absolutely safe position.

The following 14 rounds would start from cave abode No. 14 at the foot of the mountain. Each round would challenge a person from the top until the last round of the challenge, where the person would challenge cave abode No. 1 at the foot of the mountain.

In this way, if he could win all of them, he would be able to get points steadily in each round, and the more points he would get later on.

Challenging cave No. 14 at the foot of the mountain was worth two challenge points, cave No. 13 was worth three challenge points, and finally, cave No. 1 was worth fifteen challenge points. In total, they had a total of one hundred and nineteen points!

This was the challenge Round. Putting aside the fact that other people took the initiative to challenge and give away their points, in theory, the highest number of points they could obtain was much higher than the previous three rounds that had already been completed or were in progress.

One shouldn't forget that even Lin Yi, who had gotten full marks in both the first two rounds, only had a total of one hundred and five points. He was still far from the theoretical full marks for the challenge Round.

And if there were other newcomers who took the initiative to challenge and give away points during this process, the points they would obtain in the end would be even higher than this!

Of course, this full score was only in theory. After all, the difference in strength between the new disciples wasn't too big. Unless it was someone like Lin Yi, who was at the peak of the early Foundation Stage and was deliberately hiding his strength, it would be extremely difficult for the other disciples to win all the battles.

Even for Meng Tong, who was already in the early stage of the foundation building stage, the difficulty was still not small.

There was no way Lin Yi would go easy on him, and even without Lin Yi, Xiao ran and Qiao hongcai would be able to break through to the early Foundation Stage in two months with the help of the foundation pill. By then, they'd be at the same level, and they'd just advanced not long ago. They'd be at the same starting line, and it'd be hard to say who would win or lose if they fought. (To be continued.)
