Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Individual special training?" "Special training?" Ziyu blinked, surprised.

Although the previous counterattacks were also last minute, and it only took them three days to almost master it, now that the trial Competition was going on, even if there were two days of spare time between the two rounds, it was only enough to recover physical strength and true Qi, where would there be time for individual special training?

"There's still time, of course there's still time, because this isn't anything new. It's just a review of the counter-move style I taught you before." Lin Yi told Ziyu to get on the boat, and they returned to the Qingyun sect's Island in the North.

"Review? Is this useful?" Ziyu wasn't very confident-she was someone who wasn't afraid of anything, but things like exams were the only thing she couldn't do. This test was like an exam for her, and her mind would go blank as soon as she got on the field. It didn't matter how well she remembered what moves she'd use to counter them, it would be useless.

"Don't worry, this isn't just a simple review. It's tailor-made for you." Lin Yi smiled mysteriously. He'd found the problem now, and it wasn't hard to come up with a solution.

"Really?" Ziyu only recovered now-it wasn't that she had confidence in herself, but in Lin Yi. If he said that, then he had to have a way to get her through this.

On the other side, the crowd watched as the two left, and Lingshan couldn't help but worry,""Will Ziyu be okay?"

"Don't worry, since boss is personally taking action, she will definitely be fine. We just have to wait and see. " Chentian said without a doubt.

Everyone smiled at each other-Lin Yi said that he'd take them all to the test, and he wouldn't leave Ziyu alone. He'd never let anyone down, not in the past, and not in the future.

In the fourth round of the trials, because Xue Jianfeng, Lin Yi, and the others had won all three rounds and were eliminated early, and there were also those who were seriously injured and eliminated from the competition, the number of participants in this round was obviously much less. For example, the group of Foundation Stage cultivators only had five people this round. Last round they had eight people.

Without Xue Jianfeng and Lin Yi, this round wasn't as eye-catching as before. Leng Leng and Duanmu Yu were the only two people left. The former was the genius disciple who almost used the painting to defeat an Aurous core stage master, and the latter was the senior Sister who was gradually revealing the strength of the leaf spirit sect. Both of them were beautiful girls, too, so it was rare to see them.

It was a pity that the two women did not meet this time. However, to everyone's surprise, whether it was Leng Leng or Duanmu Yu, they should be considered the top existences among the remaining perfected Foundation Stage experts. In the end, they both suffered defeat at the same time!

Originally, the two disciples of the Foundation Stage had already resigned themselves to their fate after knowing the result of the draw. After all, the strength that the two women had shown before was really not to be underestimated. The general experts of the same level basically had no chance of winning against them, so the two of them were only holding the belief that they would lose and put their all into the last fight.

However, they did not expect that they would actually win.

Not to mention the others who were watching this result, even they themselves found it hard to believe. They felt that this victory was picked up for free. It took them a long time to react and they were instantly ecstatic.

"What's going on?" Lingshan and the others looked at each other-too bad Lin Yi wasn't there, or he'd be able to explain it to them.

"I'm afraid that he consumed too much true Qi in the first three rounds. He's running out of physical strength." Xin Yijie looked at them and said thoughtfully. Other than the silent Bing Wuqing, he was probably the only other person who could tell what was going on, other than Leng Leng and Duanmu Yu.

What he said was not wrong at all. Coold's strength and realm were far from consolidated due to her consecutive breakthroughs in the previous two rounds. Not to mention, she had used the extreme version of 'painting the ground as a prison' for the first time in the last round against Xue Jianfeng. This was a trump card killing move that consumed a lot of true Qi and physical strength. At that time, she did not feel much because of her excitement, but it was only now that the drawbacks were fully reflected.

If she had been able to use ground as a prison, there was almost no reason for her to lose in the previous match. However, because of the lack of true energy, there was a very obvious flaw when she used this move, which was why her opponent had turned the defeat into victory.

It was the same for Duanmu Yu. Regardless of whether it was falling leaves in autumn or a mountain of leaves, they were both powerful moves that consumed a lot of Zhen Qi and physical strength. Moreover, each time she used them in a short period of time, the consumption would be greater than the previous time. In addition, her opponent's strength was not weak. It was not difficult to understand why she lost in the end.

After losing the battle, the two women's performance was exactly the same. They didn't say a word and directly walked to an open space on the side and began to meditate to recover their true Qi. They now had two wins and two losses. The next round of the competition would directly determine their course of action, so they had to seize the time to recuperate and build up their energy, preparing for this last battle.

Coincidently, ever since Leng Leng and Duanmu Yu had lost in succession, this fourth round of the competition seemed to have been cursed. All sorts of unexpected outcomes had continuously appeared one after another. They clearly had the absolute upper hand in terms of strength, yet they had repeatedly failed miserably in unexpected turns. It was simply abnormal.

Xin Yijie wasn't too surprised by this. As a senior elder of the green cloud School on the northern island, he had hosted at least eighty to a hundred matches of all sizes. He knew that in the middle and late stages of the competition, one's physical strength and true Qi would be greatly consumed, and one's mind would unconsciously relax due to exhaustion. Therefore, it was the time when accidents were the most likely to happen. It wasn't surprising that there were so many unexpected results.

A day later, it was finally the turn of the early Foundation Stage groups for the fourth round. Due to various reasons, the number of participating disciples had been greatly reduced, and the progress of the competition had accelerated significantly. The first round still needed two whole days to finish, but by the time the fourth round was over, it had only been less than a day since the first round had been finished.

If Xin Yijie hadn't deliberately left more time for everyone to rest and recuperate in between each group's matches, this time would have been even shorter. After all, not only were there far fewer matches than before, but because everyone had deliberately reduced the probing, the time of each match had also been greatly reduced. This was a matter of course.

"They're not back yet. Should we get someone to call them?" Lingshan and the others looked at each other. Naturally, he was referring to Lin Yi and Ziyu. (To be continued.)
