Beauty and the Bodyguard

Even if he saw through it, he would be deceived in the end and suffer a lot of bad luck. He was at the peak of the xuansheng stage and his combat ability was comparable to that of the earth opening stage. He might not be unprecedented, but he was at least an extremely rare and abnormal figure!

"Oh, you\'re quite bold and have a big temper! If I don\'t teach you a lesson, you won\'t know why the flowers are so red, right?" The guy\'s face changed as he flipped his arm, trying to control Lin Yi.

They wanted to make a move on Lin Yi because he was the first one to complete his mission and return. Also, his appearance wasn\'t well known in the East continent, and no one would pay attention to him except for those who knew him. So the five men thought that Lin Yi didn\'t have any background and his strength was unknown. At least, it wouldn\'t be a problem to test him.

Who would\'ve thought that this test would lead to a problem? the guy who attacked Lin Yi didn\'t even see how Lin Yi did it before he felt a sharp pain in his stomach and was sent flying.

The other four were all shocked, thinking that they\'d hit an iron wall when their bodies flew out involuntarily. Lin Yi didn\'t favor one or the other-since they were a team, they should go through thick and thin together. He\'d kick each of them!

"If you want to Rob me, you should at least improve your robbery skills, right?" Lin Yi chuckled, shook his head, and left the valley.

He didn\'t have the intention to kill them-he only wanted to give them a light punishment and make them suffer a little. This test was meant to compete with each other, and Lin Yi wasn\'t a bloodthirsty person. He didn\'t want to kill unimportant people.

The five of them all hit the rocks and walls of the valley entrance. The pain in their abdomens was like a burning fire, and the bones in their bodies seemed to be falling apart from the impact.

However, they were clear in their hearts that they had managed to keep their lives. The other party had definitely shown mercy. Although they looked quite miserable, they were not seriously injured. They could recover after taking a little rest and eating a medicinal pill. It was just that they had lost their fighting ability for a very short time.

"Quick ... Recover ... Your injuries. Don\'t let anyone seize the opportunity!" The strongest one had cold sweat all over his forehead. He took out a pill and threw it into his mouth. At the same time, he gave orders to his companions in a low voice.

Lin Yi did let the five of them go, but they were in the middle of a test. They only dared to Rob people because of their team\'s strength. The others could see that too.

But now that they had temporarily lost their combat power, in order to not be robbed by the five of them after they recovered, it was hard to guarantee that no one would come over to fish in troubled waters. Not to mention that only 60 out of 100 people would pass. If five strong opponents were eliminated at once, it would be beneficial to any participant.

The rest of them naturally understood the key point, so they all took out medicinal pills to consume and began to race against time to recover from their injuries.

The facts had proven that those who could participate in the assessment were not easy to deal with. The five of them had just swallowed the medicinal pills and were barely supporting themselves to sit cross-legged when two figures flew over like ghosts.

"Huang ... We have no grudges ... And we won\'t do anything to you ... You ..." The strongest of the five tried to stand up and resist, but his chest was pierced by a bright sword light.

Before he could finish his sentence, the man\'s longsword shook, and his genuine Qi suddenly exploded, blowing his chest apart.

"The quota is limited, who asked you to have the advantage in numbers?" The man sneered, and the sword in his hand flashed, instantly slashing the necks of the other two.

The other person who had rushed over also took care of the two people and looked vigilantly at the person with the long sword.

"Brother Chen, great minds think alike. If these five people make it into the quota, they\'ll be strong opponents in the second round. Now that they\'re gone, there\'s no need for us to continue fighting. After all, there are sixty spots in the first round. Why don\'t the two of us join forces and go to the mystic division sea together?" The man with the sword put away his sword and suggested with a smile. It was obvious that the two had known each other before.

Both of them were at the peak of the mid-stage of the mysterious Ascension realm. If they joined forces, they could indeed achieve an effect that was greater than one plus one. The other person rolled his eyes and immediately stretched out his hand with a smile,""That\'s good! Brother Huang\'s strength is extraordinary. If you and I join hands, it shouldn\'t be difficult to pass the second round of the exam!"

After a simple high-five, a temporary Alliance was formed. The man with the sword suddenly lowered his voice and said,""Brother Chen, do you think we should find more people to form an alliance, and then directly reduce the number of people who can pass the first round to 40?"

He had to get rid of the five of them earlier to get rid of potential strong opponents, but the Alliance agreement he proposed now was to unite the strong to suppress the others.

If 40 people joined forces, the remaining 50 or so candidates, who were obviously much weaker, would not be able to resist.

Surnamed Chen was greatly moved and felt that this was a good plan. After the two of them discussed it in a low voice, they returned to the spirit stream and began to secretly look for possible partners.

Lin Yi didn\'t know that his casual move had directly stirred up the situation in the spirit stream valley. Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn\'t have cared, because this was how things would develop in the end. The first round of the assessment was basically the survival of the fittest, and the best strategy was to reduce the number of people who passed the first round to ensure the chance of passing the second round. Those ambitious people would definitely not miss this.

After receiving the test items, Lin Yi didn\'t care about anything else in the spirit stream valley anymore. What he needed to care about now was the situation of the third group. Although Jiang He and the other two were considered a small group, their strength was still too weak. As long as three of the five-man Group sent out, they would be able to suppress them.

"I\'m afraid that I\'m the only one who has to go help out in another group after completing my own assessment. " Lin Yi shook his head with a smile and used his super butterfly micro steps.

It took about the same amount of time to get from the Academy to the third group\'s test site, but it would take more time to get there from the spirit Valley. If Lin Yi wasn\'t worried that he wouldn\'t be able to come out after returning to the Academy, he could\'ve gone back to hand in his mission first. It would\'ve been a shorter journey.
