Chapter 2129: Taking the initiative to admit defeat

“Let’s go!” Lin Yi said.

Han Tianba and han xiaopo didn’t say anything after Lin Yi’s insistence. They followed Lin Yi to the meeting hall.

Just like before, after arranging the list of contestants and the stakes, old master Zhao said,””Next up is one of the most important segments of the Hidden House Summit-the 1v1 challenge! Due to the special nature of the competition, only one person could go on stage. The GaN mountain sect specialized in one person and one beast fighting together. However, they had no advantage in one-on-one combat, so they forfeited!

Next, there were only eight families and sects left. The top four would be decided by drawing lots. Then, the top two and third place would be decided by drawing lots. The final winner would be chosen from the top two!

Of course, if they didn’t want to participate in the competition, they could bring it up now. Otherwise, in the competition ring, life and death were up to fate. Unless one side surrendered, they could completely put the opponent to death!

No Dharma Treasures or weapons were allowed in the arena. As for the other rules, there were no rules!

Of course, after the top three were determined, for the sake of fairness, the participants after the top four could be given a chance to challenge each other. However, the one being challenged could not be their previous opponent! For example, if you had already lost to your opponent in the elimination round, you could not choose to challenge him again! I wonder if anyone has any objections?”

This rule was fair, so no one raised any objections.

“Alright, since there are no objections, the competition will begin. Contestants, please come up and draw your lots!” Old Zhao said.

Lin Yi followed the other competitors and drew his lot-in the first round, his opponent was the Hidden House Pi’s Pi Zhihai! The lot startled Lin Yi, but it was more than enough to deal with Zhihai!

Zhihai was only an Earth Class early phase peak physical practitioner now, and Lin Yi was the same level as him, but a spiritual one! Spiritual masters were stronger than physical Masters, this was a publicly acknowledged fact, unless there was a heaven-defying existence like the Golden Bell sect.

So with Lin Yi’s strength right now, there was no doubt that he’d be able to take on Zhihai! Perhaps Lin Yi wasn’t an Earth Class early phase’s opponent at the Ice Palace test-he was only a Mystic mid phase peak!

Yet, things changed with the passage of time-Zhihai only broke through one class to Earth Class early phase peak, but Lin Yi had jumped several levels! This was the advantage of a spiritual practitioner over a physical one! Physical practitioners level up quickly in the early stages, but not in the later stages.

Lin Yi didn’t care about the other opponents. All four matches were going on at the same time, and he walked straight to the stage!

Looking at the ranking, elder Pi sighed in his heart-why was he so unlucky? Before this, house Pi had treated Pi Zhihai as one of the seeded fighters in the arena challenge. After all, his skills were strong, and his fist could split mountains and seas!

Even an Earth Class late phase peak would have to back off if he were to use this skill-as long as he didn’t meet the Jinzhong sect, he had a good chance of winning! But Grandpa Pi hadn’t expected Lin Yi to come out of nowhere!

Lin Yi, in terms of skills, was even stronger than Zhihai. Just from the competition the other day, he knew that Lin Yi’s skills were much stronger than house Pi ‘s! So, it was impossible to compete with Lin Yi in martial arts!

But if Lin Yi could take a full-powered attack from a Sky Class master, what could Zhihai do?

Elder Pi’s face was extremely dark-he was like a deflated balloon, but there was nothing he could do!

“Grandpa, why don’t I go all out?” How could Zhihai not know what his grandfather was thinking? He gritted his teeth and said.

“Impulsiveness!” Grandpa Pi waved his hand immediately,”that Lin Yi’s unstoppable right now-you have no chance of winning if you fight him head on!” You’re not that strong to begin with, and you’re just relying on your skills, but Lin Yi’s skills are all yours. So, when you get on stage, try to drag it out as long as you can, just go through the motions, save your strength and challenge the top three!”

“Yes …” Zhihai wasn’t willing, but he knew how powerful Lin Yi was. The funny thing was that Zhihai and Zhishan wanted to take revenge on Ling Yi, but now Ling Yi was right in front of them, and they had to admit defeat in a life or death battle!

Thinking back to how unwise it was for house Pi to mess with Lin Yi for house Xiao’s sake. Lin Yi’s follower was already so strong, so Lin Yi had to be even stronger. He still had the hope that Lin Yi would be the main character in every competition!

Old master Pi thought that maybe it was time for him to avoid Lin Yi’s attacks? This kid was not to be trifled with. He was like a Porcupine, and if he was not careful, he would be pricked!

Zhihai’s momentum was waning before the fight even started-there was still hatred in his heart, but he couldn’t vent it. He walked up to the stage with Lin Yi, looking at him with hatred, but he didn’t make a move! Zhihai was a martial arts fanatic, but he wasn’t an idiot-he’d just be going through the motions, and so he’d admit defeat as soon as Lin Yi made his move.

“Pi Zhihai, I’ve killed a lot of your people, but in the end, my enmity with your house is with the common house Xiao, not with your hidden house Pi. So I don’t want to take your life in this battle!” Lin Yi said faintly,”taking your life is as easy as turning my hand over. Your strength level is clear for all to see, I don’t want to bully you!” How about this, if you attack me and I can’t Dodge it, then you lose. ”

“No need. Since that’s the case, there’s no need to compete. My skills aren’t as good as his, so there’s nothing to be ashamed of if I admit defeat!” Zhihai said, cupping his fists.

Zhihai’s actions surprised Lin Yi a little, but he could guess from the smile on elder Pi’s face. He probably knew that he couldn’t win, so he told Zhihai to save his strength for the top three, instead of wasting his energy and life on him.

Lin Yi’s victory was certain, and although old Zhao wasn’t too happy about it, he still announced it.

While the other three stages were still fighting, Lin Yi’s side surrendered without a fight!

“Boss is so awesome! The opponent admitted defeat before the fight even started!” Han xiaopo rubbed her eyes in disbelief, but it was the truth. Zhihai surrendered without a fight, and Lin Yi won.

Lin Yi shrugged and turned to look at the battle. The winner was almost decided!

On the three stages, the ones who had the upper hand were Yu BA from the Hidden House Yu, Tang GEI from the Hidden House Tang, and MA Dashen from the Golden Bell sect!
