Beauty and the Bodyguard

8749 Chapter 8748-

“Grandmaster Sima and Grandmaster Shi, I didn’t expect the two of you to come together. This is great! Our sky array sect is honored by your presence!”

Sect leader Chang was very happy to see Lin Yi and Shi Yucai.

Of course, this wasn’t because he was hospitable. He was thinking that since these two array Dao geniuses had come together, then they should both stay!

He wanted to leave, but there was no way!

Even if Luo xingliu and a few other famous grandmasters were here, he would find a way to kill Lin Yi and Shi Yucai and get rid of these two threats for the sky array sect!

“Grandmaster Sima, let me introduce you. This is the hall Master of the martial Alliance from the starsource continent, Hall Master Luo xingliu! It’s such an honor to be the witness of the master-level battle today!”

Lin Yi blinked-the Xingyuan continent’s martial Alliance’s Hall Master?

He had never seen first hall Master Luo xingliu appear in the sky array sect’s sub-school before. Could he be related to the sky array sect?

If that was the case, things would not be good!

“Subordinate Sima Yi (Shi wancai), greets Hall Master Luo!”

Lin Yi didn’t want to be rude and bowed with Shi Yucai. Shi Yucai was the president of the Sangzi continent’s array Association and was considered Luo xingliu’s subordinate.

“Grandmasters, there’s no need to be so polite. I’m here today for the Grandmaster battle, so I won’t bother about my status as a martial League member! “Of course, if there is any unfairness in the battle between the grandmasters, I, as the witness, will definitely correct it. You two grandmasters can rest assured!”

Luo xingliu smiled and raised his hand to support her. His attitude was quite friendly and did not have the arrogance of a superior, which was extremely consistent with his temperament.

Lin Yi relaxed a little. It seemed that this first hall Master Luo xingliu didn’t have any bad intentions towards him. He even seemed to be protecting him.

Intuitively, Luo xingliu shouldn’t be a member of the sky array sect … But he couldn’t be careless!

If Luo xingliu had nothing to do with the sky array sect, why did they look for him? Was he trying to add to the traffic?

He felt that he had to stay alert before he understood Luo xingliu. He shouldn’t trust Luo xingliu too easily. Fortunately, Lin Yi had always been relying on himself and rarely asked for help from others.

After Luo xingliu’s greetings, sect master Chang introduced the well-known array Dao grandmasters in the starsource continent.

Lin Yi and Shi tiancai weren’t any weaker in terms of formations, so everyone was very polite and didn’t use age or experience as an excuse.

“Now that everyone knows each other, let’s begin the Grandmaster battle!”

Sect leader Chang stood up and nodded to Lin Yi.”Does Grandmaster Sima have anything else to say? It’s still not too late to regret now. I can agree to your request to withdraw from the Grandmaster battle. After all, Grandmaster Sima is young and promising. It would be a pity to lose the Grandmaster title. ”

Psychological battle!

Everyone understood that Lin Yi wouldn’t back down now that he was here. The sky array sect had the geographical advantage and wanted to weaken Lin Yi’s fighting spirit.

In a battle between experts, even the slightest difference in strength was enough to cause a decisive outcome.

Sect leader Chang clearly knew this well-he started a psychological battle without even making a sound, hinting that Lin Yi had no chance of winning and that backing out was the best choice.

“I should be the one saying that,” Lin Yi smiled. The welcoming array set up by the sky array sect couldn’t even stop me for a second. If sect leader Chang’s skills stop here, then your defeat is certain!”

“It’s not too late to back out now. How about I pretend I never received the sky array sect’s challenge? I can’t go back on my words in front of Hall Master Luo! This is all for Hall Master Luo’s face!”

Luo xingliu stroked his beard and smiled, very satisfied with Lin Yi. It wasn’t because Lin Yi said he was giving him face, but because Lin Yi was able to fight back so strongly in a situation like this.

In terms of psychological warfare, the sky array sect didn’t have the upper hand at all, and they were even suppressed by Lin Yi’s sharp counterattacks.

He went for wool and came home shorn!

Sect leader Chang did not mind. He had long heard that Sima Yi was sharp-tongued and his ability to control people was not weak. Since he could not play the psychological game, he might as well start fighting!

“Since Grandmaster Sima has made up his mind, let’s start the Grandmaster battle! By the way, Grandmaster Shi is also here today. Do you want to join in? I don’t mind adding one more!”

When he saw Shi tiancai, sect leader Chang already had the thought of keeping her, so now he naturally had to take the opportunity to pull her into the battle.

Lin Yi brought Shi chengcai here to watch the Grandmaster battle and learn from it. He didn’t think he’d be involved.

Lin Yi suddenly felt that this wasn’t too bad after sect leader Chang mentioned it!

How could the spectators gain more by participating?

Shi longcai had already reached the peak of the diamond-grade array Dao Grandmaster, and there were faint signs of a breakthrough.

What he needed now was an opportunity. Perhaps he could find this opportunity in the Grandmaster battle?

In Lin Yi’s eyes, this master-master level battle was a sure win. He didn’t have to worry about losing at all.

“Master, I am willing to participate in the master battle!”

Shi shengcai didn’t know what Lin Yi was thinking, but it was clear that he and Lin Yi were thinking the same thing. They both felt that this was an opportunity, so they asked to fight without waiting for Lin Yi to speak.

“Alright, then I’ll participate!”

Lin Yi nodded, agreeing so casually that it seemed a bit rushed.

Sect leader Chang was a little stunned. He had just casually asked, and you all agreed so casually?

Why did it feel like I wasn’t the one who wanted to scam you, but you were the ones who were rushing to jump into the pit? Was the pit that he was rushing to jump into still a pit? Who would be tricked in the end?

This guy’s mind was in a mess, and he subconsciously said,””That’s good! Then let’s expand the Grandmaster battle to a two-on-two team battle!”

When he saw Shi longcai come with him, sect head Chang had already been thinking about the arrangements in this area, so he didn’t need to think before he spoke.

The sky array sect didn’t lack array Masters, they could find anyone to compete with. They relied on sun sikong’s array inheritance, outsiders couldn’t break it at all.

But Lin Yi was different!

Sect leader Chang came back to his senses and his heart wavered. Could he really get the desired result from this Grandmaster battle?

Would he fail miserably in an easy task?

… No, did he fall for Sima Yi’s psychological warfare tactics?

Sect leader Chang shook his head to get rid of those unrealistic thoughts and pretended to be calm,””The rules of a two-on-two Grandmaster battle are not much different from a one-on-one battle.”

“Grandmaster Sima, you probably don’t know yet. I’ve already handed over the rules to Hall Master Luo and the other grandmasters. I’ll explain it to you again!”

“The Grandmaster battle is divided into three rounds. The first round is to set up an array and break the array. Simply put, we set up the array as the defensive side, and you will be the attacking side to break the array within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. If you succeed in breaking the array, you will get one point, and if you fail, you will get one point.”

“When the time is up or when the victory is decided in advance, we will swap our attack and defense! Both sides will attack and defend for five rounds, and the final score will determine the winner of the first round. ”
