I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 200: Chapter 200: If the Mountain Won’t Come to Me, I’ll Force It to Come!

”Big screen, start rolling!”

With Ah Liang’s command, the giant central spirit crystal screen covering the arena began to flash with one avatar after another.

These avatars represented the 100 participants in this tournament.

Lin Yi was among them.

Backstage at the venue.

In the Xia Team’s lounge, Lin Yi, wearing the red and yellow national team uniform of Xia Country, stood at the front of the other nine members.

In front of Lin Yi stood a middle-aged man wearing a Xia Youth Summit team leader uniform as well.

Looking at Lin Yi, he extended his hand and introduced himself, ”Zhao Enquan, the team leader and semi-coach responsible for your daily needs and competition-related matters.”

Lin Yi shook hands with Zhao Enquan, and he already knew a bit about this Mr. Zhao.

He was considered a legendary coach with unique skills in tactical arrangements and team coordination training, having led the Xia Team to six consecutive championships.

Very capable.

Zhao Enquan clapped his hands and said to the other nine, ”This is your captain, Lin Yi.”

”Welcome everyone!”

Zhao Enquan led the applause.

The other nine also applauded one after another.

However, Lin Yi could tell that some people were clapping perfunctorily, while others were looking at him with curiosity.

To Lin Yi’s surprise, he noticed an older-looking person in the team.

Hmm, he already looked about the same age as Mr. Zhao...

Apparently noticing Lin Yi’s observation, the older person also extended his hand to Lin Yi and smiled, ”Guo Yinglong, heavy gunner. Before you came, I was the acting captain during a few team training sessions. Now that you’re here, I can relax, haha!”

”Maybe in your eyes, I don’t even count as young, haha! Actually, I’m really just an old guy of 37. I’ve been waiting in line, and this year it’s finally my turn to join the team for the competition.”

”Let’s work hard together, this should be the only chance in my life that I can enter the Trial Tower.”

Guo Yinglong was very friendly, completely unpretentious.

Under Lin Yi’s Eye of Omniscience observation, he indeed was the strongest person in the Xia Team at the moment, even having reached full level after five transformations.

”You will have plenty of time to get to know each other later, for now, focus on the first round of today’s competition.”

Zhao Enquan scanned everyone and finally fixed his gaze on the spirit crystal screen in the lounge.

At this moment, the matchup information of all 100 people had already appeared.

Lin Yi also noticed at the corner that next to his own avatar was another lean face.

This should be his opponent for the first round.

”The matchup information has been randomly completed, and now, the order of the matches will be decided.”

Zhao Enquan pulled out a notebook, his eyes sweeping over the big screen, instantly recording all the matchup information for the ten Xia Team members in his book.

Pre-competition intelligence gathering, as well as understanding other opponents, is actually an important factor that influences victory or defeat.

Zhao Enquan was undoubtedly top-notch in this aspect.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi saw the order of the matchup information on the big screen change.

Similar to the huge arena at Shenxiao, the arena at Penglai Island could also support multiple platforms and battles happening simultaneously.

Even so, since this is an international event, the event committee arranged the 50 matches among 100 people into 10 rounds for optimal audience experience.

Only 5 matches in each round.

Lin Yi’s pupils tightened.

Because he discovered that his battle with that lean man was placed in the first round!

And, it was the very first match!

Swipe!

Suddenly, Lin Yi realized that his nine other teammates and Zhao Enquan were all looking his way.

Unexpectedly, he was the first to take the stage!

The event organizers sure knew how to generate buzz!

The opening match!

Knock knock!

The door of the lounge suddenly knocked, followed by a few people with event committee work badges entering.

”Please, Lin Yi, proceed to the preparation area, we need to conduct a pre-match inspection!”

Zhao Enquan looked at Lin Yi and nodded, ”Don’t be nervous, it’s just a routine check.”

”Mainly to check for any non-personal effects or verify your equipment.”

Lin Yi understood.

This was somewhat equivalent to a urine test for each player before the start of a sports event.

...

More than ten minutes later.

After the host Ah Liang on stage announced a few sponsors’ advertisements,

Lin Yi officially took the stage!

”First to appear is the captain of the Xia representative team!”

”This year’s national college entrance examination top scorer and a hot favorite for the championship, Lin Yi!”

A deafening cheer erupted, with most of the audience being from Xia.

Lin Yi’s debut in the arena was grand.

With tens of thousands of burning eyes focused on him.

Even Lin Yi could obviously feel the pressure at this moment.

After Lin Yi took the stage, his opponent also slowly stepped up.

But, in stark contrast to Lin Yi’s relaxed demeanor, this lean young man’s legs were trembling as he stepped onto the stage.

He looked terrified, not even daring to meet Lin Yi’s eyes.

His name was Ruan Xinming, from Nanyue Country.

More than ten minutes ago, upon seeing his opponent was Lin Yi, the best in the Xia Zone and the Xia Team captain,

he almost fainted on the spot.

I’m fighting Lin Yi?

Is this real...?

It’s the first opening match, and he felt humiliated in front of 100,000 people on site and millions watching via the spirit crystal network.

If he didn’t even have the courage to get on stage, it would be too cowardly.

In fact, Ruan Xinming regretted it.

What if I want to live on another planet...

This Xia Team captain is terrifying...!

Such a terrifying look!

Is he pitying me?

Meanwhile, Lin Yi was also a bit nervous.

This Nanyue Country opponent was actually fairly decent in terms of strength.

At least he was a four-transformation professional.

Logically, he had the strength to fight against others.

But his fighting spirit was almost nonexistent.

”Both sides ready!”

”3!”

”2!”

The countdown on the big screen hadn’t reached 1 when Lin Yi saw Ruan Xinming was not just shaking his legs.

His whole body was trembling.

He was under too much pressure!

”1!”

”The match begins!”

Generally, at this time, it was about who strikes first.

However, Ruan Xinming didn’t use any skills, and as a close-combat professional, he didn’t even move closer to Lin Yi.

Instead, he raised his hands high above his head, ready to say, ”I forfeit.”

Lin Yi was startled.

What he feared most happened!

This guy had no intention of fighting him at all; he was planning to surrender out of fear!

If he was allowed to surrender just like that, his 30 million dollars would go to waste.

At the same time, it would trouble the Lingxi War God.

At the crucial moment.

Lin Yi’s eyes focused.

The mountain won’t come to me.

Lin Yi couldn’t proactively go to the mountain either.

The only option left was one.

An invisible gravitational field spread!

If you won’t attack me, I’ll forcibly make you attack me!

Myriad Phenomena Celestial Attraction!

The gravity direction was anchored on Lin Yi!

”x51!”

A string of numbers appeared before Lin Yi’s eyes.

[Primordial Chaos]activated!

This meant, even altering the direction of gravity, the effect could still benefit from this skill’s boost!

The next moment, before Ruan Xinming could raise his hands.

His whole body turned into a blur!

The 51-fold gravitational pull directly turned him into a human cannonball, fiercely towards Lin Yi!
