Chapter 12376
After checking the outside news and confirming that there was nothing unusual, Lin Yi chose another alias and entered the track lobby.
Breaking through from a seven-zhang (approximately 33 meters) Dharma form to a six-zhang (approximately 33 meters) Dharma form consumed five Godhood fragments. The gap will only widen further as we move from a six-zhang (approximately 33 meters) Dharma form to a five-zhang (approximately 33 meters) Dharma form.
Conservative estimate: at least ten!
Collecting this number would undoubtedly be a huge undertaking.
After all, they have maintained a 100% track finish rate so far, but if they encounter a strong enough opponent at the end of the track, the pressure will still be considerable.
The good news is that, having had these experiences before, Lin Yi is now in a very good position.
As long as there are no unexpected setbacks, collecting all ten godhood fragments is only a matter of time.
Just as Lin Yi was searching for a suitable track in the track hall, a report about him was quietly placed in front of Shi Tiannan, the leader of the Rooster Group.
Assistant Qu Nianyan said softly, "It's confirmed that Lü Bukui of Tianjia Teahouse had contact with this mysterious person. Should we ask him to come back and assist in the investigation?"
“Lu Bukui…”
Shi Tiannan tapped the table with his finger, looking at it meaningfully: "Do you think this is Lü Bukui's own idea, or the idea of the person behind him?"
Qu Nianyan's eyelids twitched: "If this is that person's intention, should we report it to the head steward?"
Shi Tiannan glanced at her with a detached look: "When gods fight, mortals suffer."
At his level, he would be a figure not to be underestimated even in the Heavenly Palace, and even the powerful families would treat him with respect.
But it depends on who you compare yourself with.
To ordinary people, he is a god, but compared to this person, he is just an insignificant mortal who would be caught in the crossfire at any moment.
Qu Nianyan hesitated and asked, "But what about the head steward?"
Shi Tiannan shrugged and smiled: "If you do some things, it's a matter of strategy, and the consequences can be severe. But if you don't do them well, it's just a matter of ability."
To put it bluntly, ability isn't a big problem.
Unless a more suitable replacement can be found, and after going through layers of complex power struggles, the only punishment will be a slap on the wrist.
Qu Nianyan understood immediately: "I understand."
She paused, then hesitated before asking, "Will Deputy Team Leader Fan Hong report this to a higher level?"
No force that has reached a certain size can be monolithic.
The Twelve Heavenly Palace Groups were no exception.
The deputy team leaders dared not challenge Shi Tiannan's authority to his face, but it was entirely possible that they would engage in some underhanded tactics, such as secretly seeking refuge with Liu Aozhi, the general manager of Tianjun.
If they can identify the mysterious person this time, it would undoubtedly be an excellent pledge of allegiance.
Shi Tiannan glanced at her and said, "I don't take sides. How others choose to take sides is their business, and I have no say in it."
In short, it boils down to four words.
Stay out of it.
At this moment, after wandering around the track lobby, Lin Yi had already locked onto his target track.
Judge's Track.
Goals and achievements are groundbreaking.
Compared to other tracks, this track is relatively less popular, after all, it has its own barriers to entry, but it also has its own loyal following.
The Judge's Track, as the name suggests, is about judging cases and making decisions. The first name that popped into Lin Yi's mind was the famous Judge Bao.
After all, when it comes to judging cases, there are very few in history who can rival him in terms of fame and influence.
Lin Yi carefully studied the achievement list.
From the top-ranked Mingqiao down, all of the top ten are basically following the same pattern.
The only difference is that the character design is slightly different and the level of excitement of the cases is somewhat different.
It's worth mentioning that Mingqiao, who is currently ranked number one, has already accumulated 91 achievement points, securing a spot in the final race.
Lin Yi thought for a moment.
If we bring out Bao Zheng, entering the final stage of the race shouldn't be a problem, since the opponent is a ready-made case study.
The problem is that once you get to the end of the race, taking down your opponent in one fell swoop won't be so easy.
After all, with competition based on similar products, all that will come down to is competing on the details. Although Lin Yi wasn't completely without confidence, he wasn't entirely certain of success.
Most importantly, with so many competitors around, even if we bring out Bao Zheng, it's hard to call it groundbreaking.
After a moment's thought, Lin Yi finally made up his mind and stepped onto the track.
"Song Xiang enters the Judge's Track."
The people at the track entrance paid no attention to the sign; not a single person even glanced at it.
Each of them is still racking their brains, either designing cases or trying to solve other people's cases. In the end, the cases in the Judge's Track are the key.
This is a gathering place for pure mystery enthusiasts.
As the sand table slowly unfolded before him, Lin Yi immediately began to create the character.
The very first scene made everyone in the audience look up.
"Twenty years of hard study have honed criminal skills! Bones open their mouths, flies bear witness, and even rotting corpses are turned into iron scrolls!"
Everyone was stunned: "Let the dead talk?"
A gaunt man sneered and shook his head: "A cheap trick!"
It was Mingqiao, the number one in the list.
Exhuming corpses for examination is nothing new for the Judge's Track; it has existed since ancient times.
In fact, including him, who is at the top of the list, many people have been involved to some extent. After all, solving cases is inseparable from corpses, and if there is a corpse, an autopsy is inevitable.
However, autopsies have always been limited to the same old tricks, with nothing new to offer.
It's not that no one has thought about making a fuss about this before, but without exception, it has ultimately proven to be completely unfeasible.
After all, this kind of thing can't be come up with just by having a sudden inspiration.
No matter how rich one's imagination is, without a real-world system to support it, it will immediately be riddled with flaws once it is put into practice.
Mingqiao scoffed, "If you want to go all the way in the Judge's Track, there is only one way: focus on the cases. To put it bluntly, it's all about brainpower."
"Apart from that, all other so-called exploration and innovation is just opportunism."
"If you don't have the brains, don't come to the Judge's Track."
"Here, it doesn't matter whether you're from a prestigious family or a commoner. If you don't have the brains, even if you're a top-tier second-generation heir, you'll only be someone else's stepping stone."
"Let me make this clear: the Judge's Track is the purest track, bar none."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone cheered and agreed wholeheartedly.
Every group has its own pride.
Mingqiao's words directly expressed what they all felt.
Perhaps it seems self-deception to outsiders, but at least in their own eyes, within their own little world, they truly can look down on those second-generation elites.
As for Song Xiang in the sand table, their evaluation is naturally the same as that of Ming Qiao, who ranked first.
He's just trying to attract attention; he's nothing but a clown.
Lin Yi couldn't see any of this, and even if he did, he wouldn't react in any way.
His entire attention was focused on the sand table.
