Chapter 4209: Admitting defeat as the end

Translator: 549690339

Hehe, little LAN er, who do you want to win? Shangguan Tianhua said with a smile.

Of course I want Lil bro to win, but But Shangguan LAN er pouted. She didnt want to say something disheartening, and shed always had confidence in Lin Yi, but the problem was that Xu lingchong was just too strong after coming back. She could even easily crush a late-stage golden core Master, and Lin Yi had a hard time winning against a peak-stage mid-stage golden core Master.

She didnt like training, but after all these years of being under Shangguan Tianhuas influence, she had a good eye for things. She could tell that unless Lin Yi had some other powerful trump card, it would be difficult for him to win against lingchong Xu in a direct battle.

But you dont think Lin Yi can beat Xu lingchong? Shangguan Tianhua smiled noncommittally and said,Lets keep watching. This years inner sect compet.i.tion is the most interesting.

On the stage, lingchong Xu looked at Lin Yi, her lips curved into a proud smile.

It wasnt a pure coincidence that he and Lin Yi were standing on the stage of the finals. He had arranged it in secret, but he didnt think that Lin Yi could actually get this far. If Lin Yi wasnt strong enough, he wouldnt be able to stay until now even if he had arranged it.

But this was great-hed found a late-stage golden core to start with in the first battle, and now hed be able to take Lin Yis head in the final battle to celebrate his Ascension to the first place-this was Xu lingchongs original intention.

Its not easy for a pretentious newbie to stumble into the finals. However, Im not that attractive. Theres no challenge at all. Its really boring. Xu lingchong paused and then said with a playful expression,With so many grudges between you and me, I should have taken this opportunity to torture you. However, this young master has decided to be merciful and give you a word of advice. If I were you, I would admit defeat!

Oh, since youve made such a sincere request, Ill do as you wish. I admit defeat. Lin Yi actually nodded and went with the flow, a playful smile on his face.

Gah? Did he just admit defeat like that?

Everyone was in an uproar-theyd thought that this was going to be a fierce battle, and theyd prepared themselves to witness a highlight of the day, but Lin Yi just admitted defeat?

This feeling of punching cotton was like a pain in the a.s.s. In other words, youve already taken off your pants and youre showing us this?

Not only were the audience dumbfounded, even Xu lingchong herself on the stage was in disbelief and couldnt close her mouth for a long time.

Asking Lin Yi to admit defeat was just a joke he used to mock people-even he himself didnt think it was possible, and he didnt think that Lin Yi would listen to him so obediently!

As for Shangguan LAN er and Huang Xiao Tao who were in the stands at this moment, their expressions were also stunned. They were both surprised, but they were also secretly relieved. No matter what, at least Lin Yi wouldnt get hurt.

Not only that, even Shangguan Tianhua, who was standing beside them, was taken aback when he heard Lin Yis words. He laughed and shook his head-this kid really didnt play by the rules!

However, it was also because he didnt play by the rules that Lin Yi wasnt a one-track minded person. Not only did he have strength and potential, but he also knew when to advance and when to retreat. He didnt care about temporary gains and losses. This way, he would be able to go far in the future.

It was the truth-Lin Yis last battle against a peak mid-stage golden core was already a very difficult one. He used up a lot of energy and Qi, and even got a light injury. Although his injuries were healed with the art of Dragon mastery and his Qi was almost fully recovered with the Jade s.p.a.ce, his mental fatigue wasnt that easy to relieve.

In his current state, if he were to go up against Xu lingchong, who was at the peak of his power, it would be extremely difficult for him to win. He would have to pay a huge price to have a chance.

He knew that he couldnt handle it, but he still had to force it-that was what a brainless man would do. Lin Yi wasnt that c.o.c.ky.

One had to know that even if Lin Yi just admitted defeat like that, he would still be in second place in the 1v1, and would still be able to get 49 points, only a little bit less than Xu lingchongs 50 points. There was still the 2v2 battle, and this little bit of points couldnt even be considered a difference.

After all, the final ranking was based on the sum of the points acc.u.mulated from the two rounds. As for whether they were the first or second place in the individual compet.i.tion, no one would care.

Youre admitting defeat just like that? Youre a newbie at acting tough, arent you always good at acting tough? Why dont you dare to do it today? After Xu lingchong reacted, she immediately seized the opportunity to mock and ridicule,It seems that you, the newcomer King, are still very aware of the situation! In the past, I allowed you to jump around like this only because I was too lazy to pay attention to you. Now is the perfect opportunity to teach you a lesson, but in the end, you became a coward without saying anything. Bullying the weak and fearing the strong, youve executed these four words very well

As Xu lingchong taunted Lin Yi, the crowd was also pointing at him, looking at him with more disdain than before. It seemed that this so-called new guy King was nothing more than this.

Lin Yi smiled faintly and couldnt be bothered with Xu lingchong and the people below the stage. He turned around and walked down the stage as if nothing had happened. The expression on his face was as calm as ever, not caring at all.

At this point, the first segment of the inner sect compet.i.tion, the individual battles, had all ended. There were a lot of topics to talk about, and it could be summed up in four words: the new generation.

The first was Xu lingchong, who was an outer disciple partic.i.p.ating in the inner sect compet.i.tion for the first time. The second was Lin Yi, who was a newcomer to the welcoming new pavilion. As for Meng Tong, Yu Zhe, and the others, they left a deep impression on everyone.

This result was absolutely unprecedented. People could even foresee that this generation of new inner disciples would definitely be the Golden generation that could be recorded in the history books. They would be talked about with great relish and lead the future of the three pavilions on the North Island.

After the end of the individual battles, there would be three days of rest and reorganization, followed by the pairs battles. Because the number of duels was halved, the schedule would be more compact than the individual battles. All the battles would be finished in one day, and there would be no more opportunities for rest and reorganization.

Therefore, these three days were extremely important to all the disciples from the three pavilions. The results of the individual battles could no longer be changed. Some people were happy, while others were sad. However, they were only halfway through. Whether they could get their desired ranking in the inner sect compet.i.tion would depend on their performance after three days. (This book doesnt have a stockpile. Ill resume three chapters today.)
