Chapter 6352
6352 I’ll show mercy
The other judges had their own speculations as well-they’d all put Lin Yi on the list of people they’d be paying attention to for now, so they could recommend him to their respective schools when they got back to Mystic division.
“Lin Yi, you’re a coward, a coward who only knows how to sneak attack. If you don’t dare to challenge me, then I’ll just say it-people like you will be looked down upon wherever you go! Don’t even think about having any higher achievements in the future!” Gong Linzhou heard that Lin Yi didn’t have any intention of challenging him, and immediately used all the insults he could think of on Lin Yi. Whether or not he could wash away the humiliation was all up to this wave.
“Alright, since you want to be beaten up so much, it would be unreasonable if I don’t fulfill your wish. Come on, come on. I’m really scared of you.” Lin Yi had a look of disgust on his face as if he really was pissed off by Gong Linzhou’s scolding, but he didn’t care at all.
Gong Linzhou’s childish curses were not even one percent of what the secular world used, okay? How could she make Lin Yi angry? He’d planned this all out, and even if Gong Linzhou didn’t say anything, Lin Yi would’ve challenged first place anyway.
“Alright!” Gong Linzhou laughed loudly and lifted his foot to step onto the stage. However, he felt a strange sense of weakness as he took a step. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that perhaps he wasn’t really looking forward to this fight. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have just been fighting with his mouth under the stage. He would’ve rushed up to the stage and fought Lin Yi to the death.
Unfortunately, it was already too late to back down now. There was no way to retreat even if he wanted to!
“Are you done? Alright, let’s start!” The judge looked at Gong Linzhou, who was dawdling, and felt very impatient. This guy, how much time had he wasted? Although he was quite strong, he would definitely not put him on the list of recommendations.
“It’s done …” Gong Linzhou answered subconsciously, and then he felt his vision blur. Lin Yi, who had been staring at him, suddenly disappeared.
Not good! That bastard was going to launch another sneak attack!
Gong Linzhou’s face turned pale with fright. He had the thought in his mind, but his body couldn’t react in time. Lin Yi’s movements were as fast as lightning, and the judges found it hard to catch. They could only barely see it.
Although Lin Yi could choose to take down Gong Linzhou head-on, he thought that this method was quite interesting. It didn’t matter if it was a sneak attack or not-Gong Linzhou wouldn’t be able to block it anyway.
In the eyes of the judges, Lin Yi left a trail of afterimages behind him as he appeared beside Gong Linzhou in an instant. He didn’t do anything else, just lifted his leg and gave a light kick. Gong Linzhou was sent flying out of the ring like a cannonball, landing on the ground once again.
Everyone was dumbfounded. The first time, Gong Linzhou wasn’t prepared for it, but the second time was a different story. Even if Lin Yi had a sneaky intention, Gong Linzhou had been extremely careful, but it was no use. The result was the same as before, not even changing his landing posture.
“Lin Yi! You sneak attacked again! Lord Judge, are you not going to do anything about such a despicable person?” This time, Gong Linzhou regained his senses a little faster. He felt as if his entire world had collapsed. He simply sat on the ground and did not get up as he loudly questioned the members of the recruitment team who were acting as judges.
Other than Leng rufeng, none of the remaining eight members found it funny. They looked at Lin Yi with fear in their eyes. They were all measuring their strength in their hearts. Could they withstand Lin Yi’s simple attack?
In the end, the conclusion he reached was shockingly similar! Therefore, everyone’s heart was filled with a sudden chill, and no one was in the mood to laugh at Gong Linzhou …
“You said you were ready, how can you blame others for ambushing you?” The judge on the stage said coldly and immediately announced the result,”Lin Yi’s challenge to the temporary first place has been successful. He’ll take his place and become the temporary first place. The rest of you will be promoted by one place. Now, let’s move on to the second challenge.”
Lin Yi gave Gong Linzhou a harmless smile. He remembered that he’d heard of the Western prosperity Academy before-Qian Xiaodong, the guy he met on the northernmost Island, was from that school, wasn’t he? did Gong Linzhou know that unlucky Qian Xiaodong? He’d already killed a genius from the West rising Academy on the northernmost Island, and he’d won another one this time-it wasn’t a big deal.
After he went down, the person who was originally in ninth place, now in tenth place, stood on the stage with a heavy heart. He originally wanted to fight for first place, but now he had no confidence at all.
Lin Yi’s strength was just the tip of the iceberg-it was obvious from his casual attitude that he wasn’t serious at all. If he couldn’t even beat someone who wasn’t serious, what was the point of challenging them?
Although the judge didn’t say what bonuses and rewards the top ten would receive, from the benefits of being first, it should be more beneficial the further one went. Therefore, after some consideration, the tenth-ranked person chose the safer way. He first challenged someone he had heard of. He was currently ranked sixth, so the probability of winning should be more than 60%.
The final result was just as he had expected. After a tough battle, he won the challenge before the time it took for an incense stick to burn was about to end, and he jumped to the new sixth place.
The rest of the battles followed the same conservative thinking-no one wanted to challenge Lin Yi. Gong Linzhou had lost to Lin Yi, and in a very sorry state, but no one wanted to challenge him for second place. Everyone wanted to see if this proud guy would challenge Lin Yi again.
However, this did not include Leng rufeng!
Leng rufeng couldn’t stand Gong Linzhou’s arrogance towards Lin Yi anymore. Although he’d been taught a lesson by Lin Yi twice, he still wanted to teach that guy a lesson himself.
Through this indirect method, Leng rufeng could also evaluate how big the gap was between his strength and Lin Yi ‘s. Back then, Lin Yi’s strength was still below his, and it was only through constant battles that he was able to quickly improve. Although he respected Lin Yi, Leng rufeng had always been confident in his talent and strength. After defeating Gong Linzhou, he would challenge Lin Yi to learn from each other. This was also a way for him to show his respect.
“Gong Linzhou, come up! You don’t have the right to take the second place!” Leng rufeng’s voice was as cold as ice. Everyone felt a chill spreading through their bodies when they heard it.
“Who Do You Think You Are, to actually dare challenge me? Seeing that your courage is commendable, I will show you mercy later!” Gong Linzhou’s expression was dark and cold. He had lost so much face previously, and now that he had finally calmed down, he was challenged by Leng rufeng. It was a good time for him to vent his anger.
