Beauty and the Bodyguard

"That's right. According to the rules of the challenge, as long as you give up or admit defeat, the opponent can't attack again. This way, Meng Tong won't have any chance to attack. However, to be able to make such a decision, Junior Brother Xiao must be very bold. " The miserable senior brother also sighed.

It was obviously not wise to fight Meng Tong head-on when they knew that their strength was not equal. However, it would take a lot of courage to admit defeat in public. A little hesitation might cause blood to splatter on the spot.

After Xiao ran finished speaking, everyone present was stunned for a long time. Even the judge from the mysterious Pavilion was stunned for a long time before he regained his senses and announced,""Xiao ran from cave number 14 at the foot of the mountain has forfeited. Meng Tong from cave number 15 at the foot of the mountain wins!"

"Hmph, at least you know what's good for you. Otherwise, this Lord would have long kicked you into meat paste!" Meng Tong glared at Xiao ran and sneered.

Xiao ran glanced at him expressionlessly and didn't say anything. He turned around and walked down the ring, only to be greeted by the boos of the other rookies.

But all of a sudden, the fighting spirit hidden in his body became even stronger.

"After you've reached the Foundation Stage, you can come and deal with this guy properly." Lin Yi smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Yes." Xiao ran nodded heavily. When he looked at Meng Tong on the stage again, his fighting spirit had been restrained, and he had returned to his ordinary self.

However, Lin Yi, who was familiar with him, knew that this idiot had been targeted by a powerful guy. He didn't even need to do it himself. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before a new Xiao ran would challenge this guy.

With Xiao ran's Foundation, even if Meng Tong took the lead in building his Foundation, it was hard to say who would win.

On the stage, Meng Tong didn't come down immediately. According to the challenge rules, no one could challenge him as the master of cave number fourteen, except for Xiao ran, who was ranked lower than him. However, he didn't go down immediately. Instead, he pointed at Qiao hongcai, who was standing beside Lin Yi.

"It's your turn next round. When that time comes, will you learn from others and be a coward? I'll be waiting to see!" Meng Tong laughed contemptuously and turned to leave the stage.

"F * ck, what's with this idiot? does he really think he's invincible in the early Foundation establishment stage? just wait and see!" Qiao hongcai clenched his fists.

He wasn't Xiao ran. Even if he knew that it was wise to retreat in order to advance, he couldn't take it lying down. He knew that he would lose, but he would rather fight to the death with Meng Tong. He would never give up on his own initiative!

Lin Yi and the others looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. They couldn't persuade Qiao hongcai to change his mind.

However, this was also good. He could fight with Meng Tong, an expert in the early stage of the foundation building realm. This kind of cross-level combat would be greatly beneficial for him to break through to the foundation building realm later. At that time, he just had to be careful not to be killed by Meng Tong.

In the first round of the GreenCloud Pavilion's Rookie Challenge, although Meng Tong had won without a fight, there was no doubt that he had broken the awkward stalemate. This allowed the other rookies to not be afraid of each other and not dare to take the initiative to challenge him.

Sure enough, a short while after Meng Tong stepped down from the stage, a newcomer immediately issued a challenge. It was the owner of cave No. 12.

Originally, if Meng Tong hadn't made a reservation for the next round of challenge in front of everyone, Qiao Hong would have definitely been the first to make trouble. However, he really didn't plan to fight again this round.

After all, no matter how straightforward his personality was, he wouldn't be stupid enough to know that he would have to challenge a stronger opponent in the next round, but still foolishly waste his true energy in this round. That wouldn't be brave, but rather stupid.

However, the fact that the owner of cave No. 12 went up first was more or less out of everyone's expectations, because this guy's name was Cha Wu. Although his strength had barely reached the full completion of the heaven class, he was still a weak newcomer.

In the first two rounds, being the first to leave the stage earned him one point, and in the second, he got ten points for challenging Sky Class late phase peak. In total, he got eleven points-he was now the last in the pavilion.

This Cha Wu was called a weakling by others and he definitely deserved it. He actually dared to follow after Meng Tong and take the initiative to challenge him. This inexplicable confidence really makes people surprised.

However, when he announced the name of the Challenger, the entire place was in an uproar.

"Cave number twelve Cha Wu challenges cave number one, Lin Yi!" Cha Wu looked down at Lin Yi and shouted.

Heh, strange things happen every year, but there are especially many this year!

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow in surprise at being called out in public. This guy was only a weak Sky Class full master, and he dared to challenge him? where did this guy get his courage from?

According to his original judgment, in this one-on-one challenge Round, Meng Tong was probably the only person who had the confidence to challenge him. If the others had even the slightest bit of brains, they wouldn't be so stupid as to take the initiative to come at him. He didn't expect such an accident to happen in the first round!

Under everyone's gaze, Lin Yi lifted his leg and was about to go up the stage, but before he did, he was pulled back by the miserable Shixiong to say a few words.

"Junior Brother Lin, this is a rare opportunity to advance by retreating. If you give up this round, you'll immediately get cave number twelve at the foot of the mountain. This position will not only be convenient for you to plunder points later, but also suppress Meng Tong. Two birds with one stone!" The senior brother said excitedly.

The rules were clear-if Lin Yi admitted defeat to this weakling, it'd be a bit of a joke, but anyone with eyes could see the underlying meaning.

He'd lost fifteen challenge points, but he'd gotten a chance to turn things around. With Lin Yi's strength, he could go through the caves one by one if he wanted to-he could even earn a hundred points, let alone fifteen!

To Lin Yi, who was trapped in cave one, this last-place scum of the GreenCloud Pavilion was like a Buddha saving a life. This kind of opportunity was something he couldn't even ask for.

Lin Yi only smiled at the suggestion, not saying anything as he walked up to the stage.

Lin Yi didn't look angry at all, nor did he show any fighting intent or killing intent. Cha Wu couldn't help but laugh inside-he was right!

As the number one newbie of the pavilion, all of them were well aware of Lin Yi's current situation. (To be continued.)
