Could it be that this guy was a defensive expert? The newcomers looked at each other. Meng Tong was the Big Brother of the current batch of GreenCloud Pavilion’s newcomers. The other two Pavilion’s newcomers had some understanding of him. However, it was rumored that this guy cultivated the thousand legs technique, which had nothing to do with defense.
If he was an expert who focused on defense, it would be easier to understand why he proposed a cross-level challenge at this time. After all, even if he was a cross-level expert, it was unlikely that he would be killed in one move. At most, he would be seriously injured. But Meng Tong was clearly not one of them!
It wasn’t just the newbies from the other two pavilions who were looking at each other-even the GreenCloud Pavilion newbies who knew about this were shocked. They’d heard Meng Tong’s smug declaration earlier, and they’d thought that he was just saying it to provoke Lin Yi. Who would’ve thought that this guy was actually planning to do it!
An early-stage Foundation expert who had just broken through not long ago was actually going to challenge a full-power attack from the peak of the early-stage Foundation. This kind of thing, just thinking about it made people’s blood boil!
“This guy is crazy, right? He’s actually going to challenge the peak of the early Foundation Stage? did he bribe the examiner?” Qiao hongcai was dumbfounded and couldn’t help but question in a low voice.
If he were to rely on pure strength, considering how Meng Tong had been defeated by Lin Yi in one move on the first day, it would be suicide to challenge someone at the peak of the early Foundation Stage. Other than bribing the examiner and cheating, Qiao hongcai couldn’t think of any other explanation that was more reasonable.
The senior brother was also in disbelief, but he shook his head and said,””That’s impossible. The strength of these examiners was sealed in front of elder Zhao, and this seal doesn’t just seal the upper limit of their strength, it also seals the lower limit of their strength. In other words, if Meng Tong signs up for the peak of the early Foundation establishment stage now, the examiner won’t be able to go easy on him even if he wants to, because any of his moves will be at the peak of the early Foundation establishment stage. If Meng Tong doesn’t have a strong defense, it’ll be useless even if he bribed the examiner. ”
“Does that mean Meng Tong really has the strength?” Xiao ran asked in shock.
No matter how she looked at it, Meng Tong didn’t seem like someone with such strength. Her boss Lin Yi was more like it, but if he really had to sign up for a peak of the early Foundation Stage, it would be hard for him to do so.
“It doesn’t matter if he has the strength or not. Since Meng Tong dared to say this in front of everyone, he must have made preparations.” Lin Yi’s lips curled up in a playful smile.
There was indeed nothing wrong with the words of the miserable senior brother. However, he had neglected one point. Although Zhao Hongbo was the fourth elder of the GreenCloud Pavilion, and ordinary people couldn’t even speak to him, let alone ask him to cooperate and play any tricks, don’t forget that there was still young master Xu lingchong present.
Other people were just ants in Zhao Hongbo’s eyes and didn’t have the right to talk to him, but this young master Xu was Xu Yuanzheng’s most valued grandson. To a certain extent, he represented Xu Yuanzheng himself. If young master Xu were to ask him for a favor, as long as it wasn’t too out of line, elder Zhao would definitely agree.
And this time, the request that Xu lingchong made to him was within his scope of authority, and it was as easy as lifting a finger.
Xu lingchong’s request was very simple. Zhao Hongbo only needed to represent the examiners of the early and peak stages of the foundation establishment stage when he was sealing the strength of these law enforcement Hall experts. He just needed to leave a little leeway during the sealing process.
According to the normal seal, every examiner’s strength would be locked. Once they were sealed to the corresponding level, the power of their attacks would be fixed, and there would not be any fluctuations. In other words, if a newcomer chose the same level, the power of their attacks would be strictly the same. Only this way could ensure the fairness of the assessment to the greatest extent.
However, Zhao Hongbo, who had been repeatedly warned by Xu lingchong, had left some room for the examiners at the peak of the early Foundation establishment stage and the beginner Foundation establishment stage to fluctuate during the sealing process. Although the power was still roughly the same, as long as they were willing, they could increase or decrease the power by 30%.
This way, he could go easy on Meng Tong and not accidentally kill him, but he could also guarantee Lin Yi’s death.
Thinking about it, if Lin Yi chose the peak of the early stage of Foundation, everyone already knew that it would be extremely difficult to challenge someone of a higher level. If he were to add another 30% of his strength to that Foundation, he’d definitely die. There was no chance of survival at all.
The reason he’d gotten the examiner to do this was because he wanted Lin Yi to have a backup plan. There was a 90% chance that he’d force Lin Yi to choose the peak of the foundational level, but there was still a chance of failure.
With this backup plan in mind, even if Lin Yi chose to be in the early Foundation Stage, he’d still have to suffer a full-strength blow from the examiner. Even if he didn’t die, he’d have to be heavily injured for at least half a month before he could recover.
Just as li Zhengming’s information said, Xu lingchong and Meng jueguang’s group had already racked their brains to deal with Lin Yi. They wanted to make sure that nothing would go wrong and get rid of Lin Yi, a thorn in their side!
Seeing everyone’s surprised reaction, Meng jueguang smiled playfully. Lin Yi wasn’t an ordinary character, after all. He wasn’t that easy to deal with. If Meng Tong was just feinting and wasn’t the first to sign up, how could this guy be fooled?
After Meng Tong signed up, Meng jueguang didn’t let li Zhengming sign up second. Instead, he walked directly to Lin Yi. Everyone’s eyes focused on Lin Yi, each with a playful and expectant look.
Meng jueguang curled his lips in disdain.”Junior Lin Yi, if I remember correctly, you’re the first person to enter the foundation Stage in our Pavilion, and you even got a perfect score in the last test. I wonder what rank you’re going to choose this time? Of course, this is understandable. It’s human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so it doesn’t matter if you’re a little cowardly. At most, people will gossip about you, and it’s better than losing your little life, don’t you think so?”
Under everyone’s gazes, Meng jueguang’s words clearly had ulterior motives, trying to provoke Lin Yi into falling for it. Lin Yi’s miserable senior brother, who was standing beside him, quickly gave Lin Yi a look, telling him to keep calm and not fall for Meng jueguang’s trap!
Xiao ran and Qiao hongcai were also nervous. They were all fresh blood, and they wouldn’t be able to take it if they were in Lin Yi’s position, being provoked by Meng jueguang in front of so many people.
