Beauty and the Bodyguard

AI fan acted as well. After the 30 tokens were placed, the space in front of him distorted slightly, and a teleportation light door appeared.

"Brother Sima, please!"

AI fan moved to the side politely, not showing any hostility at all. Lin Yi didn\'t know what he was thinking, but it was as if he had been good friends with him for years.

"You\'re welcome. Young city Lord AI, please go first!"

Lin Yi waved his hand. It wasn\'t like whoever went out first had an advantage.

Of course, Lin Yi would just ignore AI fan and leave if he tried to be polite again. It was enough to waste time like this once.

AI fan didn\'t hold back. He cupped his hands at Lin Yi and led his people out of the portal.

Lin Yi said after they were all gone.

Light flashed, and the scenery changed. Everyone returned to where they were before, but Lin Yi noticed that the people who came out first were all looking at him strangely.

Lin Yi was suspicious, thinking that there was something wrong with his body, but he quickly realized that it wasn\'t the case-he saw the name list on the wall.

Sima Yi was ranked at the top of the kill list with a kill count of sixteen!

With that last burst of strength, everyone saw Lin Yi take out ten or so practitioners, but they didn\'t expect him to have already taken out five or six people before they arrived!

Other than Bing bi, Wu yucao and the others probably didn\'t expect this.

However, they weren\'t surprised that Lin Yi could do something like this. If it were a thousand people instead of a hundred, they\'d think it was normal for Lin Yi to kill two hundred people!

"Elder Xu, what\'s the use of this kill list?"

Lin Yi hadn\'t heard of the hit list before, so he asked humbly.

Elder Xu\'s face didn\'t look too good-he didn\'t have any special feelings towards Lin Yi, perhaps just a bit of dislike.

But at the last moment, Lin Yi\'s sudden burst of power eliminated all ten people who could\'ve made it out, and he was a little unhappy.

These were all people who could make it to the next round, and Lin Yi was blatantly eliminating those who didn\'t belong to him. Although it was within the rules, elder Xu still felt that this guy didn\'t follow the rules!

"It doesn\'t have any special use, you don\'t have to worry about it!"

Elder Xu said coldly,"this trial arena was originally meant to select 40 people. Then, through other assessments, 30 people would be admitted into the sword spring sect. I didn\'t expect that only 20 people would come out in the end. This is really surprising!"

Originally, the number of kills on the kill list was useful. Those who were in the lead would receive some rewards. However, these rewards were all decided by elder Xu\'s words. Whether he gave them or not depended on his mood.

He wasn\'t in a good mood right now, especially when he saw that Lin Yi was in first place. He decided to just cancel the reward!

"In order for the next assessment to proceed smoothly, I will choose the ten people who have killed the most from the eliminated people and grant the defeated party the right to be resurrected. As long as one\'s score in the next assessment exceeds any of the twenty people here, they will be qualified to enter the sword spring sect!"

Elder Xu didn\'t care about the crowd\'s reaction and announced his decision. This also explained the purpose of the kill count.

The corner of AI fan\'s mouth twitched. He felt that Lin Yi\'s plan had failed completely!

But it was hard to say-perhaps Lin Yi didn\'t plan anything at all, and was just killing the chicken to warn the monkeys!

It was said that the losing side would choose the ten people with the most kills, but in fact, among the eliminated people, there weren\'t many who really had a kill count. Even if there were, most of them only had one kill.

Therefore, the final name list still had to be decided by elder Xu.

Among the last ten people, most of them were young masters from other cities. Not to mention their strength, their wealth and power were definitely not small in the local area.

Lin Yi laughed coldly to himself. Elder Xu did this because he was worried about the reactions of the big cities!

This was an act to preserve a trace of face for the major cities. If there were no accidents, at least one person from each city would symbolically enter the sword spring sect!

As expected, the final candidates were all young masters from noble families, but they weren\'t trash since they had killed so many people.

Lin Yi couldn\'t interfere with the decision of the sword spring sect. After the name list was confirmed, he only glanced at it indifferently without any objections.

"Next up is the final test. As there are only thirty people, as long as you can pass the final test, you will basically become a disciple of the sword spring sect!"

Elder Xu waited for the losers \'representatives to arrive before saying a few simple words,""The final test is very simple. It will be to see if you have enough strength at your current stage! All of you, follow this Lord!"

The so-called strength at the current stage was actually a strength test. Everyone followed elder Xu to a square. There was a huge stone tablet at the side with the words "strength square" written on it.

Lin Yi didn\'t even have the strength to comment on the name-the entire Plaza was empty, with only a pyramid-shaped stone in the middle, about ten meters tall. It was completely grey and didn\'t stand out at all.

Elder Xu brought everyone to the stone and turned to Lin Yi and the others,"This is the place where we, the sword spring sect, test our strength. All you need to do is to hit this rock with all your might, and you will be able to test your body\'s strength, speed, and other data."

In fact, this stone also had a function to test one\'s potential, but it was not very accurate. There had been some problems recently, so elder Xu did not mention it.

Just the data of strength and speed was enough for the assessment.

"Everyone only has one chance to take the test, so you have to make good use of it. If you don\'t reach the passing line, even if you\'re already half a step into the sword spring sect, you\'ll be immediately eliminated!"

Elder Xu\'s gaze swept across everyone indifferently, especially those young masters who had been resurrected by the defeated side. His words were basically meant for them.

The sword spring sect could give face to the major cities and retain a chance of entering the sword spring sect. However, if these young masters were too useless and could not meet the requirements, elder Xu would not let them enter the sword spring sect.

Although he was only an outer sect disciple and the requirements were not too high, the reputation of the sword spring sect was there. If a good-for-nothing used the name of the sword spring sect, it would only embarrass the sword spring sect!

"Let\'s begin the test! Sima Yi, you\'re number one on the kill list, so you should test it out first!"

Elder Xu nodded at Lin Yi, signaling for him to step forward.
