Beauty and the Bodyguard

After all, Meng Tong wasn't a direct subordinate of young master Xu like Kang Zhaoming. Young master Xu would still want to take in a scheming guy like Meng jueguang, but he wouldn't even look at someone like Meng Tong if he wanted to join him.

Of course, it was a different story now that they were dealing with Lin Yi. To him, if he could see Lin Yi being stepped on, it would be a great pleasure!

However, even with his background, it was okay for him to help Meng Tong once in a while. But it was unrealistic and unnecessary to make him bleed for every challenge.

After all, Meng Tong's mission was only to test Lin Yi's strength. If they expected him to kill Lin Yi directly, even with young master Xu's help, they could only say that they were dreaming!

After the group came to a consensus, Meng jueguang turned to Lin Yi."Since you've made up your mind to exchange abodes with Xiao ran, and there's such a rule, I won't stop you as the eldest senior brother in charge. Fine, I'll agree to this."

"Alright, thank you for your understanding, senior brother Meng." Lin Yi smiled faintly-he'd expected this answer, not surprised at all.

"You're too kind, Junior Brother Lin Yi. " Meng jueguang and Xu lingchong couldn't help but laugh at Lin Yi's calm attitude. What did he mean by simple-minded but physically strong? This Lin Yi was a classic example! Although he wasn't weak, his intelligence was lacking!

"You can continue to act tough. Since you're so stupid as to take the initiative to jump into the pit, then just stay in the pit and don't think about coming out again. When things are settled, I'll let Meng Tong test you out!"

After Meng jueguang nodded, Lin Yi only needed to report this to the Ying Xin Pavilion, and he could exchange caves with Xiao ran. In addition, Xiao ran would be able to challenge the others for challenge points in the first round of the afternoon challenge as the owner of cave number fourteen.

Time flew by. After noon, the new disciples of the three pavilions gathered in the main hall of the welcome Pavilion once again to prepare for the first round of the challenge.

Faced with this challenge segment, which was quite similar to the previous years 'assessment system, all the newcomers had a bit of nervousness and excitement on their faces.

Although this was already the fourth assessment segment, and the rookies should already be very used to the pace of the assessment, this was after all different from the previous three assessments.

Even though the first three tests were not easy, they were all one-sided tests. If you had the ability, you would get points. If you didn 't, you wouldn't get any points. There weren't too many variables or surprises.

However, this time was different. The most prominent part of the Challenger League was competition. It was a brutal competition between rookies. There were many variables and accidents in this. It wasn't just about strength.

Planning and luck were both important elements.

If they didn't prepare a strategy in advance, it wouldn't be useful no matter how strong they were. Once they were targeted, they wouldn't even know how they died.

Whether they should take the initiative to challenge, when to do so, what they should do when they were challenged, whether they should go all out to fight for points, or show weakness and hold back their strength, or even retreat to gain some leeway. These were all key questions that every newcomer had to think about.

If he couldn't give an answer that was most suitable for him, then even if his strength was higher than others, he would still end up with a bitter end.

Hu Yunfeng finished his announcement on the stage, and the first round of the challenge competition officially began.

The three pavilions 'rookies were separated into three different areas. They were challenging each other at the same time. However, the scene was rather cold. Not a single one of the three pavilions' rookies took the initiative to challenge the other rookies.

This was not a surprise. In fact, anyone with a quick mind could understand the trick.

According to the rules of the Challenger League, every newcomer had a chance to challenge someone. This was optional. However, everyone had a chance to be challenged at the same time. This was a mandatory chance that couldn't be rejected. If they were selected, they wouldn't be able to escape.

As such, a problem arose.

Once one took the initiative to challenge others, then no matter if they won or lost, a large amount of true energy would inevitably be consumed in the end. Even if one's strength was stronger than the other, once the other party took advantage of the situation and had no choice but to accept the challenge, it was basically a disaster.

After all, they were all newbies, and even if there was a gap between them, it shouldn't be that big. Of course, Lin Yi was an exception.

Therefore, for any newcomer, the most feared situation was that they had just challenged someone, and then immediately another person would take advantage of the situation. That would be a big loss.

Therefore, the current stalemate was inevitable.

In fact, when this rule was made, the higher-ups had already considered the possibility of such a situation. Some people had suggested to set up some additional rules.

For example, all challenges had to be reported in writing before the start of the challenge. Another example was that every newcomer had World War II immunity. In other words, as long as they had taken the initiative to challenge others before, they could no longer accept anyone's challenge in this round. This could avoid the awkward situation of everyone being afraid of each other in public.

There were many such suggestions. At least, the rules seemed fairer and more reasonable, and it could also protect the newcomers.

Fists and feet had no eyes, so it was not unusual for casualties to occur in the process of battle. In fact, there were a few deaths every year in the past, and if one was forced to participate in the battle in a bad state, the possibility of casualties would only be greater.

However, Shangguan Tianhua, the pavilion master of the rising Sky Pavilion, suddenly said something in the elders 'meeting, which shut everyone up.

"What's the point of the newcomer assessment? isn't it to let the newcomer with the most potential stand out? If he can't even handle such a small problem, what's the point of setting up protective rules? what's the use of this kind of newbie even if he stands out? can he carry the weight of the three pavilions?"

As soon as he said that, the other elders were rendered speechless. With Shangguan Tianhua's overwhelming power, even the other big shots of the Council of Elders would not dare to disobey him easily.

In fact, when the welcoming new pavilion had first submitted the assessment rules, Shangguan Tianhua had scoffed at them.

In his opinion, only the cruelest and most primitive competition could make the strongest newcomer stand out. Once the assessment rules were complicated, it might be more comprehensive and fair on the surface. He did not know that this was the same as the examination system in the secular world. The newcomers who were finally selected looked very strong and beautiful, but once they were released, they would immediately become weak dregs without any competitive power. (To be continued.)
