Beauty and the Bodyguard

Speaking of which, Xiao ran and Lin Yi were both newbies who were very close to him. As a senior brother, it wasn't appropriate for Lin Yi to suggest exchanging caves with Xiao ran, since it might chill Xiao ran's heart.

However, he had to say this because there had never been a first in literature and a second in martial arts. The higher-ups of the three pavilions only valued the number one newcomer. Other than that, it did not matter how many second or third places he took.

If Meng Tong won first place in this newcomer's assessment while they were in such a good situation, they would have lost the good situation. For their small group, it would be a great loss.

It was obviously not worth it to sacrifice Lin Yi's first place for Xiao ran.

Xiao ran didn't complain when his senior brother said that. Instead, he nodded and said,""That's right. Boss Lin Yi, you're our pillar of support, you have to put the big picture first. You can't destroy your own wall for me, or I'll never be able to rest in peace!"

The only one who didn't say anything was Qiao hongcai. After all, Xiao ran was his brother, and he couldn't say anything since Lin Yi was doing this for Xiao ran.

However, from his expression, it was clear that he didn't agree with Lin Yi's decision. It was good that his boss was loyal, but if he was too loyal and fell into the trap, it would benefit trash like Meng Tong. Just thinking about that scene made him extremely unhappy.

To her surprise, Lin Yi laughed."You're wrong. Even if Xiao ran and I changed caves, Meng Tong would never be able to surpass me. Trust me, he will."

"Ha?" Xiao ran, the miserable senior brother, and the others could not help but look at each other.

Although they didn't know what was going on, it was just as Lin Yi said. Even if he moved to cave number one, Meng Tong still wouldn't be able to surpass him, at least not in the first four rounds.

First of all, he'd already gotten 105 points from the previous two rounds, and with the 15 points from cave one, he'd be able to keep his high score of 120 points even if no one challenged him.

With his hidden strength at the peak of the early Foundation Stage, any new disciple of the GreenCloud Pavilion, including Meng Tong, would only be crushed by him. In other words, anyone who took the initiative to challenge him would only give him points, allowing him to gain more points.

Meng Tong, on the other hand, had accumulated seventy-two points in the previous two rounds. With the one point from cave No. 15 at the foot of the mountain, his initial points for the challenge Round were seventy-three points.

Even if he followed the rule of points maximizing and challenged cave number two from cave number fourteen at the foot of the mountain and won all the battles, he would only get 104 points at most. In addition to the initial points, he would have 177 points.

If he was smart enough not to challenge Lin Yi, he'd still be ahead of Lin Yi by fifty-seven points after the challenge Round, which was quite a big gap.

On the other hand, if he challenged Lin Yi on impulse, not only would he lose Fourteen Points, but he'd also give Lin Yi another Fourteen Points. In that case, he'd only be leading by twenty-nine points.

With Meng Tong's hatred for Lin Yi and all the clamoring he'd done before, there was no way he'd let go of this rare opportunity. Otherwise, with so many new people watching, he'd lose face as the new boss.

With the information that li Zhengming had provided, Meng jueguang and the others might not stop him. They also wanted to know how strong Lin Yi was now, and Meng Tong, the strongest of the GreenCloud Pavilion's new disciples, was the best candidate to test Lin Yi.

A difference of twenty-nine points wasn't that big for Lin Yi. After all, he had chosen forty seeds in the test.

With the innate advantage of the Jade space, not to mention the seed of the heart-devouring exquisite grass, which had to be kept by him, it would not be a problem to cultivate thirty-five of the remaining thirty-nine seeds. Then, even after deducting the forty points he had to pay for the forty spiritual herb seeds, he could still guarantee a net profit of sixty-five points.

This was just a pessimistic estimate, and it was already far enough to exceed the difference of twenty-nine points. In fact, even if Meng Tong had tactfully chosen to admit defeat and not directly challenge Lin Yi, his final points in the first four segments would still not be as high as Lin Yi 's!

At that time, Lin Yi would get at least one hundred and eighty-five points, while Meng Tong would only get one hundred and seventy seven points.

Of course, this score didn't include Meng Tong's spiritual medicine trial. However, it should be known that for GreenCloud Pavilion's new disciples who had extremely poor spiritual energy in their immortal's caves, this was a completely ridiculous trial.

Even if Meng Tong, like the other newcomers, only received ten spiritual herb seeds conservatively, he had to at least cultivate four seeds to break even. He had to cultivate five seeds to earn a net profit of four points. For them, who didn't have a cheating device like the Jade space, this was a gift from the sky.

As for six, that was impossible!

So, even if Meng Tong was very optimistic and managed to grow six seeds, he would only get 184 points in the first four rounds-he was still one point behind Lin Yi!

This was already his most optimistic estimate, while Lin Yi's was the most pessimistic one. If some newbies were stupid enough to give him points, or if more seeds were grown, then Lin Yi's points would be even higher.

In other words, no matter how they looked at it, Lin Yi would always be able to suppress Meng Tong, not giving him any chance to reverse the situation.

However, only Lin Yi could figure out these plans. The brothers wouldn't be able to figure it out even if they racked their brains. After all, they didn't know that Lin Yi had the Jade space, a godly tool that could guarantee the survival of the seeds.

Although they didn't understand, they didn't know what to say when they saw Lin Yi's confident face. An extraordinary person was an extraordinary person, and Lin Yi had done more than one miracle.

There were some things they couldn't understand, but that didn't mean Lin Yi couldn't do it.

"But ..." Xiao ran still hesitated.

Lin Yi cut her off before she could finish."No buts. I gave you this cave dwelling back then. Now that I want it back, do you still have any objections? Besides, your spirit herb seeds are all in my hands, and I want to find a good cave to cultivate the seeds. If I get your cave, not only will the spiritual Qi be more abundant, but there won't be many people bothering me during the challenge, and I don't have to worry about the daily supply of true Qi. How great is that?" (To be continued.) "If you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian.com to give your recommendation and monthly vote. Your support is my greatest motivation.
