Chapter 3768: Newcomer’s challenge

Translator: 549690339

However, to the rookies, the real challenge had only just begun. This was because the fourth rookie assessment segment was about to begin.

And the content of this assessment segment was quite similar to the previous year’s rookie assessment. It was the rookie Challenge that everyone was familiar with.

However, compared to the previous years, where the rankings were determined by brute force, this time’s Rookie Challenge Round not only had the three pavilions split up to score points, but it also had a point system to be linked to the other assessment rounds.

In this round of the rookie Challenge, the current cultivation abode of each rookie would be the initial ranking. The cultivation abode and the corresponding points would be the spoils of war for each round of the challenge. They would be rewarded to the winner in real time. Naturally, the loser would also receive the corresponding punishment in real time.

Taking the GreenCloud Pavilion as an example, there were a total of 15 abodes at the foot of the mountain. They were divided into abodes from number 1 to number 15. Each abode had a corresponding challenge point. Number 1 at the foot of the mountain had 15 points, number 2 at the foot of the mountain had 14 points, number 3 at the foot of the mountain had 13 points, and so on. The last cave at the foot of the mountain had one point.

Every time, whether it was taking the initiative to challenge or accepting the challenge, the newcomer had to take out the challenge points corresponding to his cultivation abode as a bet. If the Challenger won, he would get the challenge points of the other party and the other party’s cultivation abode. If the Challenger lost, he would lose his own challenge points and the abode would remain the same.

Of course, only lower-ranked abodes had the right to challenge higher-ranked abodes, and the other party couldn’t refuse. If it was a higher-ranked abode, it couldn’t challenge abodes that were lower ranked than itself.

For example, Lin Yi was now in cave number fourteen, so he could only challenge the people in the thirteen caves before him. He couldn’t challenge Meng Tong, who was in cave number fifteen.

If he took the initiative to challenge the newcomers from the first 13 cave abodes, for example, the opponent was Lee Zhengming from cave abode number two at the foot of the mountain.

So for this challenge, Lin Yi needed to take out two points that corresponded to his cave number fourteen, and since li Zhengming’s cave was ranked higher than Lin Yi ‘s, he couldn’t refuse, and had to take out Fourteen Points that corresponded to his cave number two.

If Lin Yi won, he would get fourteen challenge points from his opponent and cave number two, while li Zhengming would have to live in cave number fourteen until his next challenge.

On the other hand, if li Zhengming won, he would receive two challenge points from the opponent and continue to live in cave number two, while Lin Yi would lose two challenge points and continue to struggle in cave number fourteen.

In addition, the most important point was that in the fourth round, each newcomer’s challenge points would be given according to their cave abode. The points would be given in the first round of the challenge, but the remaining points would be used in the assessment round before they came.

In other words, Lin Yi’s starting points before the start of the challenge would be the two points he had from cave 14, plus the 105 points he’d gotten from the previous two rounds-he had 107 points in total.

Whether his points would increase or decrease after that would depend on his performance in the upcoming challenge.

However, not every newbie was as wealthy as Lin Yi. Most of the newbies only had a total of ten to twenty points in the first two rounds, and even the starting points for the challenge Round didn’t exceed thirty.

With these points as the capital, if they were not strong enough or didn’t pick the right opponent, they might lose all their points after a few rounds of the challenge.

In this way, no matter how low the ranking of their cave dwelling was, they would lose the qualification to take the initiative to challenge. If someone challenged them and the result was still a loss, then the person could obtain challenge points and cave dwelling normally, but their points would be reduced to negative points.

Any newcomer, once they had fallen to the point of negative points, would basically say goodbye to the three great pavilions, because this was simply a stain that could not be erased. Even if they could successfully build their Foundation in the future, the three great pavilions would definitely not accept such a newcomer. After all, it would be embarrassing if it were to spread.

In addition, the challenge Round was the same as the spiritual medicine trial. It was a long battle that would last for two months.

Every day that ended with three, six, and nine, every newcomer had one chance to issue a challenge and one chance to accept a challenge. If more than one person issued a challenge to the same person, the first person to issue the challenge would obtain the right to challenge, and the challenged party would not be able to refuse.

The other challengers could only be regarded as invalid, and they could challenge other people.

In other words, there would be a total of 18 rounds of challenges in the next two months.

Although not everyone would participate in every round of the challenge competition, the assessment points were not only directly related to the final reward for the newcomers, but more importantly, it would directly affect the three pavilions ‘evaluation of them. It was related to their future, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that these assessment points were their lifeblood.

In this kind of environment, no newcomer would let go of any opportunity to obtain points. The challenge Round was the best way to maximize the heat of this competition.

Unless they had completely given up hope, the rookies who were ranked behind would not let go of any chance to challenge. When the time came, the process of the challenge would be extremely difficult. Don’t forget, this wasn’t just one or two matches. It would last for two whole months.

What’s more, in addition to the challenge competition, they also had to cultivate the spiritual herb seeds at the same time. Otherwise, even if they did well in the challenge competition, their points would still be dragged down by these withered spiritual herb seeds. When their points were deducted, all their hard work would be in vain.

Therefore, everyone had to strike a balance between the challenge competition and the cultivation of the spiritual herb seeds. The only difference was that they were more inclined to the challenge competition or the cultivation of the spiritual herb seeds.

After all, they weren’t Lin Yi. Everyone’s Qi storage was limited, and once it was used up, it would take a long time to recover.

If they exerted too much force in the challenge, it would lead to a lack of true Qi supply and the spirit herb seeds would wither. On the contrary, it would easily lead to no competition in the challenge, and the points would be taken by others.
