Abandon the possibility of a second giant elder in exchange for a larger strategic space.

Among them, what is needed is not only great wisdom, but also great courage!

Kong Shenglin suddenly said, "Do you know what you gave up?"

Everyone looked at Gu Lie together.

Naturally, the Gu family's consideration of giving up the second giant elder can't be wrong, but at least for Gu Lie himself, he did make a huge sacrifice by doing so.

And this kind of sacrifice, even if the Gu family tilted all the family resources to him later, it would be irreparable.

No matter from which angle you look at it, Gu Lie's choice today is by no means a good choice for himself.

After all, if people are not for themselves, they will be destroyed by heaven and earth.

Kong Shenglin's words clearly meant to provoke the relationship between Gu Lie and the Gu family. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Gu Lie not only had great strength, but also had great value.

With Gu Lie's current loyalty to the Gu family, it is naturally impossible to win him over with a single word, even if the person who speaks is Kong Shenglin.

But after today, there will inevitably be a rift between Gu Lie and the Gu family. Under the guidance of someone with a heart, maybe it won't be long before this rift will widen into a gap.

At that time, it is their harvest time.

As a result, Gu Lie grinned inexplicably: "You don't think I gave up voluntarily, did you? If I have the strength to sit down all the time, how much water will I have to pour into my brain to stand up?"

"..."

Everyone was speechless.

Kong Shenglin and the other elders took a closer look at his expression. Rao, at their level, they couldn't tell whether this guy's words were true or not.

Walking down the steps, when passing by Lin Yi, Gu Lie suddenly paused: "That position is quite fierce, brother, don't be too hard on yourself, you will die."

After finishing speaking, Shi Shiran walked to the rear and became a melon-eating crowd like a normal person.

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.

He didn't have any contact with this Gu Lie, and it was the first time seeing him today. If he had to talk about the relationship, at best, it was because of Gu Jiu Mu's care for him, and they were potential natural alliances.

At this time, among all the candidates invited to the scene, except for the two unlucky ghosts Xijile and Nie Tianlu, there are only two people who have not yet appeared on the stage.

One is Lin Yi, and the other is Yuan Kun wearing a Shengxian vest.

It is worth mentioning that, from the beginning to the present, all the giants above have checked back and forth over and over again, but no one has ever seen through Yuan Kun's identity.

It has to be said that Yuan Kun is at the level of a master at least in the aspect of deceiving the sky and crossing the sea, even Lin Yi can't help but sigh.

"It's just you and me left. It seems that Brother Lin and I are really destined."

Yuan Kun said something casually seemingly unintentionally, but actually paid attention to every subtle reaction of Lin Yi.

Theoretically, no one can interfere with the lottery ceremony of the Tianji bottle, not even the top giants.

But theories are just theories after all.

As long as there is an idea in this regard, especially for a top giant like Gu Jiumu, it is not unimaginable to cheat on such an important occasion where everyone is watching.

Although the possibility is not high, but now there are only two people left, one of them is Lin Yi who almost publicly labeled Gu Jiumu, which is hard not to think of.

After all, judging from the performance of the people in front of them, the whole trial sitting process was extremely difficult, and it was obvious that the people who were drawn later had an advantage.

Because, you can summarize the on-the-spot experience of the people in front of you on the spot.

With experience reference and without experience reference, in many cases, there are often two completely different results.

Gu Jiumu cheated for Lin Yi, Yuan Kun didn't think it was strange, on the contrary, he thought it was very normal, but he was left together until the end, which inevitably made him suspicious.

Could it be that this is just a pure coincidence?

A suspicious person like him is naturally very sensitive to any coincidence, especially at the moment when he is wearing Sheng Xian's vest out of spite, so the occurrence of such a coincidence is naturally full of doubts.

However, suspicion is suspicion, at least for now, it is not a bad thing for him.

Ever since he merged with the remnants of the sage, although Yuan Kun has strong confidence in his own strength, if he is the first to take the stage, he might be unprepared and capsize in the gutter.

Looking back now, with the lessons learned from so many people before, the variables are much smaller.

"If nothing else happens, shouldn't it be my turn next?"

Yuan Kun is still testing.

Lin Yi raised his eyelids indifferently: "50% chance, it's normal for anyone's turn."

Yuan Kun nodded: "That's true."

At this moment, a breath flew out from the secret bottle, it was his Yuan Kun's breath.

Yuan Kun looked at Lin Yi meaningfully and smiled, then walked towards the steps. For a moment, all the eyes of the audience were focused on him.

In any case, he was also a powerful figure who defeated Xijile and Nie Tianlu in public, and even the tall and powerful elders paid close attention to his every move.

Especially Xi Tathagata and Nie Liangchen, Yuan Kun's threat to them was almost clearly written on his face.

Looking at the steps in front of him, Yuan Kun chuckled and stepped up without saying a word.

Huge pressure then enveloped his whole body.

However, Yuan Kun didn't seem to feel the slightest bit, not to mention that he was directly kneeled down on the spot like Chu Zhengqing was at the beginning, and he didn't even shake his footsteps at all, and he easily climbed up the stairs.

It gave people the feeling that this was not a stressful test at all, but a relaxing and enjoyable trip out for sightseeing.

Eighth grade! Sixteenth level! Level 20!

Before being trapped on the few steps with the most people, it failed to have the slightest impact on Yuan Kun.

In the blink of an eye, he had climbed the twenty-third step, and he was easily in front of the tenth chair.

The faces of the people changed.

Gu Lie looked very relaxed just now, but overall, Yuan Kun was even better than him!

Is this guy really stronger than Gu Lie?

Under the complex eyes of the audience, Yuan Kun sat on the tenth chair with a relaxed face, and then lit a stick of incense.

But this time, Yuan Kun's expression finally changed.

The pressure of the twenty-three steps in front is of course strong enough to crush most people, but it is not in the same order of magnitude as the pressure brought by the tenth seat itself.

However, just when everyone thought that Yuan Kun would retreat in the face of difficulties like Gu Lie, Yuan Kun's expression immediately returned to his composure.
