8816 Chapter 8815-
“The Sage’s words were brought up in private when he was chatting with his good friend, so it was not recorded as an official statement, but included in an essay!”
“This is an unknown article, and most scholars wouldn’t read it. However, I’ve read it before. If you don’t believe me, you can take a look!”
Lin Yi asked tie Shixin to look for the book, and tie Shixin was willing to give Lin Yi face as a Vice-Dean, so he stopped the debate and waited for the evidence to come!
The starsource continent was the center of the entire continent, so it naturally had the most comprehensive collection of books.
But even so, it still took a lot of time to find the book Lin Yi was talking about.
Tie Shixin flipped through the book and found the passage Lin Yi used. After making sure it was correct, he sighed,”So that’s how it is! Investigator Sima is indeed knowledgeable, even reading such a book! I’m impressed!”
This was a genuine compliment. He then passed the book around, and the others finally understood what iron rock heart meant by such a book.
It turned out that this book recorded a Grandmaster from ancient times. He was indeed friends with the Saint who founded traditional teaching, but the two had different ideas.
During that era, the sub Island had a history similar to that of the secular world. It had overthrown hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism!
The Saints were the only victors. The other grandmasters with different ideas had all been swept into the dust of history. Their opinions might have been recorded and passed down in books, but the people of later generations would not even take a second look.
It was only Lin Yi’s spirit sense that could sweep through everything in one go, and only he’d be able to find these dusty books that no one else would read.
Who would have thought that such a book would contain a passage from a Saint? Or was it something that had never been recorded in any other ancient books?
Fang Gezi’s expression was complicated. She had to admit that Lin Yi was much better at memorizing!
A debate required a reserve of knowledge, so that one could use eloquence to come up with all kinds of arguments.
He couldn’t even tell if the other party’s argument was true or false, so how could he debate with them?
Iron Heart also thought that the outcome was already decided, so he announced on the spot,””The debate ends here. The winners are Sima Yi and Yan SU’s group. Other than the points gained from winning, your performance will be given full points! In addition, the champion will be rewarded with 1000 points!”
The other investigators were all dumbfounded!
Previously, it was said that the top three would receive additional points as a reward, but the specific amount was not announced. So the champion could get as many as a thousand points?
It was laughable that they still thought that Lin Yi and Yan Su had missed three rounds, and that their opponent had admitted defeat once, only getting forty points to enter the finals. Their lead had been greatly reduced!
And you’re telling me that the champion will be rewarded with 1000 points? The investigators who had previously worked so hard to earn performance points wanted to cry!
The points he had accumulated from so many matches were not even half of the champion’s reward!
The runner-up got five hundred points, and the second runner-up got two hundred. The guy who’d given up on Lin Yi and Yan Su immediately regretted his decision.
What the f * ck! There was no place to reason with him!
If he had known that he would get at least 500 points in the finals, he would have fought for it even if he had to die!
Fang Gezi’s promised reward was only worth about 150 points. It was not worth giving up the final reward!
F * cking Fang Gezi, how dare you trick me!
Unfortunately, it was too late for him to regret. The ranking of the debate had already been decided, and he could only wrangle with Fang Gezi for more compensation …
“Alright, the second segment of the great inspector tournament has ended! Everyone can go back to the relay station to rest. Tomorrow, come back to the inspection Institute for the third task …”
Iron Heart stood up and was about to send everyone away when Jin botian rushed in from outside.
Everyone present quickly bowed and paid their respects to the head of the inspection department.
Jin botian waved his hand casually and ran to tie Shixin’s side without paying any attention to the formalities. He then turned around and faced all the investigators.
“Everyone, please wait a moment. The third round of the competition is about to begin, but the topic of the competition has been changed at the last minute.”
Jin botian’s expression was serious, and he exchanged a look with Lin Yi, but Lin Yi didn’t understand what he meant …
“There are some problems with the node in the underground devil cave and it needs to be repaired as soon as possible. The array formation Guild has already sent people to do this. For the third round of the competition, everyone will lead a team of elite experts to ensure that the node is repaired smoothly.”
“At the same time, we have to verify if the nodes have been fully repaired. After each one is completed, we have to reinforce the next one as soon as possible. We have to ensure the stability of all the nodes as soon as possible!”
“When all the nodes have been repaired, new mission orders will be issued. This is the final assessment and will be quite dangerous. You can choose to refuse, but if you refuse, your points in the tournament will definitely drop to the bottom.”
“That’s all I have to say. I’ll talk about the specific matters later! Now, you can all disband and go make your own preparations. We’ll use our best equipment before the battle!”
“The investigators who ranked first and second in the first two rounds, stay behind. I still have some matters to settle. The rest of you can leave now. Come back and gather in an hour!”
Jin botian didn’t explain much and only gave a simple order before dispersing the patrols, leaving only Lin Yi and Yan Su behind.
He didn’t know what the second round would be like, but Lin Yi and Yan Su had already gotten a lot of points in the first round. Even if they didn’t get any points in the second round, they would still be strong contenders for first and second place.
So the top two would probably still be Lin Yi and Yan Su. He had full confidence in this little brother of his, so how could he not score in the second round?
It was the truth-Lin Yi and Yan Su were still in the dust in the second round, winning the championship and widening the gap between them and the people chasing after them!
Soon, most of the people had left, leaving only Jin botian, tie Shixin, Lin Yi, and Yan Su. The rest of the people had left.
“Deputy Dean Sima, the situation is a little serious. In the process of Zuo SI’s investigation of the badge, he discovered some new clues. These clues point to the array Masters of the array Dao Guild!”
Jin botian rubbed his brows and said with a slight headache,””The node in the underground Devil’s Den was only fixed after the badge appeared. It had nothing to do with the badge incident!”
“However, Zuo Si noticed that many of the array Masters from the array formation Guild had small black crystals embedded in their accessories. It’s the rice-sized black crystal that’s the core of the badge!”
