Even Meng Jueguang couldn't stand Meng Tong's performance. After reaching out to signal him to shut up, he whispered to Li Zhengming: "Zhengming, before the ranking is finally announced, why don't you take it again?"
Can you come up with some elixir? After all, if the points are the same, it would be a bit difficult to handle!"
Li Zhengming gritted his teeth, looked at Meng Jueguang and said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Meng, my current score is 320 points, which happens to be the tenth place. If you take out another elixir, I will fall to the tenth place.
It’s outside!”
Li Zhengming didn't have any bad medicinal materials in his hands. The minimum points of the medicinal materials in his hands were two points, and the score of the eleventh place was 319 points. Even if he took out the medicinal materials with the lowest points,
Going to be ranked eleventh!
Meng Jueguang was stunned for a moment, then said: "Do you want the reward for the top ten? No problem. As long as Meng Tong gets the first place, I will ask him to compensate you with five pieces of spiritual jade afterwards. This is better than the three pieces of the reward for the top ten."
A piece of spiritual jade is much richer, right?"
Unexpectedly, Li Zhengming was unmoved at all, shaking his head and saying: "Senior Brother Meng, you misunderstood. I am not coveting this little spiritual jade, I just don't want to fall out of the top ten. All official competitions in the Yingxin Pavilion, whether it is a newcomer trial or a platoon,
In the ranking competition, if you fall outside the tenth place once, it will leave an indelible stain on the newcomer's resume. Once this stain is carried, it means that at least one aspect of ability is insufficient, so even if you enter Qingyun Pavilion in the future,
He will not be taken seriously and can only be reduced to a complete marginal figure. These words are what you said to us yourself, Senior Brother Meng!"
At this moment, Meng Jueguang was speechless.
The words Li Zhengming said were indeed taught by him, and they were also true. But he never thought at the time that these words would actually work at such a time. And they had the opposite effect!
In this way, if it is just for Meng Tong to overwhelm Lin Yi and win the first place, and force Li Zhengming to fall out of the top ten, it is indeed a bit unreasonable. After all, Li Zhengming is also the first newcomer besides Meng Tong to join him, so
It's never a good thing to try to deceive one's own people. If word spread, it will only disturb people's hearts.
However, when things have developed to this point, it is impossible to use the same trick again. He can't say that Meng Tong still has some elixirs placed on other newcomers. That would simply insult the IQ of everyone in the room. I'm afraid it will happen three times in a row.
None of the elders will acquiesce anymore.
Now that the matter has come to this, we can only let Young Master Xu think of ways to exert some influence. Fortunately, although Meng Tong's score is not higher than Lin Yi's, it is not lower than his opponent's, so it should be relatively easy to operate.
Meng Jueguang explained the situation to Xu Lingchong and Hu Yunfeng in detail. Although Xu Lingchong was a little dissatisfied that this guy couldn't even do such a small thing well, in order to prevent Lin Yi from getting the final first place, he could only look gloomy.
nodded.
After all, except for him personally coming forward at this time, everyone else, including Hu Yunfeng, was too low-level to talk directly to the three elders, let alone let the three elders sell their favors.
Xu Ling rushed over and said a few words to the bald elder sitting in the middle. Then he nodded to Hu Yunfeng and Meng Jueguang, and the matter was settled.
Hu Yunfeng and the other two were immediately overjoyed, secretly praising that he was worthy of being Young Master Xu. No matter where he went, he could eat well. Even a big shot like the elder of Houshan Palace would give him face!
But they really thought too much about this matter. Although Young Master Xu has a lot of face, he is definitely not to the point where even an elder-level existence would sell his favor.
The reason why he was able to get it done so smoothly this time was entirely because the bald elder had a good personal relationship with his grandfather, Xu Yuanzheng. Otherwise, even he, Young Master Xu, would not even be able to say a word.
In the three major pavilions, regardless of whether they have entered the Presbyterian Council or not, every elder is a big boss. Ordinary disciples are always trembling in front of them. Even if they have a background as profound as Young Master Xu, they cannot easily break this rule.
Of course, if it was an elder who had a good personal relationship with his grandfather, that would be a different matter.
After receiving Xu Lingchong's signal, Hu Yunfeng cleared his throat and said loudly: "Now the final points results have come out. Meng Tong scored 1,800 points and Lin Yi scored 1,800 points. The two of them have the same score and are tied for first place.
However, according to the rules of the newcomer trials in previous years, there has never been a tie. If two people have the same points in the end, the elder stationed in the Back Mountain Hall will determine the winner based on their behavior during the trial."
These three elders were actually able to observe everyone's behavior during the trial? Lin Yi was shocked, but after thinking about it for a while, it suddenly dawned on him.
Since Hu Yunfeng said this in front of everyone, it shouldn't be just random talk, so it is clearly true.
With the strong strength of these three elders, if they cooperate with the various restrictions and formations in the back mountain, it should not be too difficult to monitor the situation in the back mountain. After all, their main task is to protect the back mountain. If
If you can't even do the most basic monitoring, how can you protect it?
However, Lin Yi believes that even if it is monitoring, it will definitely not be too detailed. It is estimated that at most it will focus on a few places with relatively large movements. After all, the back mountain is so big, if you really pay attention to every place all the time
, let alone three elders, even if there are thirty or three hundred elders, they will only die from exhaustion.
This actually made Lin Yi secretly keep an eye on him. If he enters the back mountain again in the future, he must be more careful when making certain big moves, otherwise his secret may be revealed at some point. Then
But that's troublesome.
At Hu Yunfeng's request, the parties involved, Lin Yi and Meng Tong, walked to an empty space in front of them one after another, so that several elders could review their performance during the trial.
While everyone was waiting with bated breath, the bald elder who had the most say in the middle looked at the two of them carefully. Just when he was about to announce the result, there was a sudden noise among the newcomers below, and then they saw a little black and white guy coming from behind.
He jumped out of the crowd and jumped directly onto Lin Yi's back.
The bald elder's eyebrows twitched, and he was about to scold him, but the pretty figure who followed him forced him to swallow the scolding. Without him, this girl's background was profound.
Even he was frightened!
Although Xu Lingchong's grandfather, Xu Yuanzheng, is also a giant in the Presbyterian Church, this girl's grandfather is the master of the Chongtian Pavilion and the top three people on the entire North Island of Tianjie Island. In terms of strength and power, compared with
