He would give up the possibility of a second giant in exchange for more strategic s.p.a.ce.

Not only did this require great wisdom, but it also required great courage!

Do you know what youve given up? Kong shenglin suddenly asked.

Everyone looked at Gu lie.

It was not wrong for the Gu family to give up the second giant, but at least for Gu lie, it was a huge sacrifice.

Even if the Gu family invested all their resources in him, he would not be able to make up for such a sacrifice.

no matter which angle he looked at it from, Gu lies choice today was not a good one.

After all, if one didnt do it for themselves, the heavens would punish them.

Kong shenglins words were clearly meant to sow discord between Gu lie and the Gu family. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that not only was Gu lie powerful, but he also had great value.

With Gu lies loyalty to the Gu family, it was impossible for him to be roped in with just a few words, even if it was Kong shenglin who had spoken.

However, after today, there would inevitably be a crack between Gu lie and the Gu family. Under the guidance of some people with ulterior motives, perhaps it would not be long before this crack would expand into a chasm.

At that time, it would be time for them to reap the rewards.

However, guret grinned and said, Dont tell me you guys think I gave up on my own accord? If I had the strength to sit down all the time, how much water would my brain take to stand up?

..

Everyone was speechless.

Kong shenglin and the other elders took a closer look at his expression. Even at their level, they couldnt tell if this guy was telling the truth.

As he walked down the stairs, he stopped walking when he pa.s.sed Lin Yi. that position is quite fierce. Brother, dont take it head-on. Youll die.

After that, he walked to the back and joined the crowd as if nothing had happened.

Lin Yi raised a brow.

He had never met Gu lie before, and today was the first time they had met. If they had to talk about their relations.h.i.+p, it was at best because Gu jiumu had taken care of him. They could be considered as a natural Alliance.

At this moment, among all the invited candidates, other than the two unlucky fools, West extreme happiness and nie tianlu, there were only two people who had yet to go up the stage.

One of them was Lin Yi, and the other was Yuan kun, who was wearing Sheng Xians name.

It was worth mentioning that from the beginning until now, the group of big shots above had examined Yuan kun again and again, but no one had seen through his ident.i.ty.

It had to be said that Yuan kun was at least a Grandmaster when it came to deception-even Lin Yi couldnt compare to him.

Theres only you and me left. It seems like brother Lin and I are fated.

Yuan kun said casually, but he was actually paying attention to Lin Yis every reaction.

In theory, no one could interfere with the lot-drawing ceremony of the heavens secrets bottle, even the top big shots.

However, theory was just theory.

As long as one had such thoughts, especially for a top-tier Big Shot like Gu jiumu, cheating in such an important occasion under the eyes of so many people was not something hard to imagine.

The possibility wasnt high, but there were only two people left, and one of them was Lin Yi, who was almost publicly labeled as Gu jiumu. It was hard not to think.

After all, judging from the performance of the people in front, the entire test sitting process was very difficult. It was obvious that the people who drew the lower number of lots had an advantage.

This was because he could summarize the experience of the people before him.

With and without experience as a reference, there were often two very different results.

Yuan kun didnt find it strange that Gu jiumu cheated for Lin Yi. In fact, he thought that it was very normal. However, he was left to the end as well, which made him suspicious.

Could this be a pure coincidence?

A suspicious person like him was naturally very sensitive to any coincidence. Especially now that he had ulterior motives and was using Sheng Xians ident.i.ty, the appearance of such a coincidence naturally made him more suspicious.

However, being suspicious was one thing. At least, it was not a bad thing for him now.

Ever since hed fused with the saints remnant will, Yuan kun had been extremely confident in his own strength. However, if hed been the first to go up, he mightve been caught off guard and lost.

In contrast, with the lessons learned from so many people before, the variables were much smaller.

If nothing unexpected happens, should it be my turn next?

Yuan kun was still testing the waters.

Lin Yi didnt think much of it, theres a 50% chance. Its normal for anyone to get their turn.

Thats true, Yuan kun nodded.

At this moment, an aura flew out of the heaven secret bottle. It was Yuan kuns aura.

Yuan kun looked at Lin Yi with a meaningful smile before walking up the stairs. Everyones eyes were on him.

No matter what, he was still a powerful figure who had instantly defeated West paradise and nie tianlu in front of everyone. Even the group of high and mighty big shots above paid close attention to his every move.

This was especially so for Xi rulai and nie liangchen. Yuan kuns threat to them was clearly written on their faces.

Looking at the steps in front of him, Yuan kun chuckled and stepped up without saying anything.

An immense pressure enveloped his body.

However, Yuan kun didnt seem to feel anything. He didnt even move his feet, let alone being forced to his knees like Chu zhengqing at the beginning. He walked up the stairs easily.

It gave people the feeling that this wasnt a stressful test at all, but just like a sightseeing tour, relaxed and happy.

The eighth level! Level 16! The twentieth level!

He had been trapped on the few steps with the most people, and had not been able to affect Yuan kun in the slightest.

In the blink of an eye, he had already ascended the 23rd step and easily arrived before the 10th chair.

Everyones expression changed.

Gu lie did look very relaxed just now, but Yuan kun was even more relaxed than him!

Is this guy really stronger than Gu lie?

Under the complicated gazes of the audience, Yuan kun sat down on the tenth chair with a relaxed expression and lit an incense stick.

But this time, Yuan kuns expression finally changed.

Although the pressure from the first 23 steps was enough to crush most people, it was not on the same level as the pressure from the 10th seat.

However, just when everyone thought that Yuan kun would retreat in the face of difficulties like Gu lie, Yuan kuns expression immediately returned to calm.
