Chapter 528 Pretentious

"Hehe, Miss Zi is too flattering on Shi, I just hope that I won't be pulled out of the top 50 by others." Shi Mu said.

Hearing this, Zi Ling smiled slightly, but didn't say much.

At this moment, there was a rumbling sound in the sky, and dozens of bright lights flew from a distance and landed on the blue stone platform.

The light faded away, and those who appeared on the stage were the three protectors who appeared before, but beside the three, there were two more.

Then, the red-browed young man from before came to the stage again, glanced around the arena, and said loudly:

"It's time for the third round of qualifying, all high-ranking disciples will be on stage immediately!"

Saying that, on the left side of the ring, a cyan light curtain suddenly lit up, separating an open area.

"Cai'er continues to beg you." Shi Mu said to Ma Long upon hearing the sound.

"Brother Shi, don't worry, the martial arts competition is just for me, and I will do the rest." Ma Long nodded and said in a low voice.

Cai'er didn't hesitate this time, she flew up from Shi Mu's shoulder and landed on Ma Long's shoulder.

Shi Mu and Zi Ling looked at each other, and the two jumped up together, and flew to the left side of the ring along with the rest.

Beside him, figures also descended one after another, lined up side by side from left to right according to the order of ranking.

Shi Mu stood in the thirty-seventh position. On his left was a burly crocodile monster man, and on his right was a red-haired red-skinned woman with a voluptuous figure.

"I won't repeat the rules of this round of competition. You only have one chance, please decide for yourself! One last reminder, the same person can accept up to three non-consecutive challenges. Do you understand?" the red-browed youth asked loudly.

"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison.

"Okay, now I announce that the Ranking Challenge has officially started." The red-browed youth announced.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of confusion on the right side of the high-ranking disciples.

Contrary to the silent scene at the beginning of the second round of competition, at this time, several figures rushed out of the queue at the same time.

"Disciple Chen Zemu, ranked sixty-ninth, would like to learn a thing or two from Junior Brother Shi, who is ranked thirty-seventh." A slender young man with wood grains on his skin stepped out quickly from the queue, He cupped his hands at the red-browed youth and said.

As soon as these words came out, the faces of those who went out with him showed annoyance, sighed a few times, and retreated one after another.

"It's the start! It's the start!"

As soon as someone issued a challenge in the arena, Duanmu Guang immediately started the game on the gambling table not far from the stage, and surrounded the crowd with a "hula".

Shi Mu walked to the center of the ring under the gaze of everyone, and stood opposite the old disciple named Chen Zemu.

He focused his eyes slightly, looked up and down the person in front of him, and then the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

In front of the gaming table, Ma Long looked away from the arena and turned to the gaming table.

"Hurry up and place a bet. Chen Zemu is playing against Shi Mu. Chen Zemu loses 1 for 3, and Shi Mu pays 4 for 1! Buy it and leave it, buy it and leave it!" Duanmu Guang shouted loudly.

"I'll buy Chen Zemu Sheng..."

"I bet on Chen Zemu..."

"I also buy Chen Zemu Sheng..."

At the gambling table, the gamblers almost overwhelmingly chose to buy Chen Zemu to win.

Everyone witnessed the match three days ago. Liao Yong obviously underestimated the enemy, so he accidentally lost to Shi Mu, and Shi Mu not only tried his best, but also paid a big price for it. I'm afraid that after these three days, they may not fully recover, and their strength will definitely be greatly reduced.

Of course, there are also a few people who want to make a big difference with a small amount, except for throwing in a few top-quality spirit stones, few people believe that Shi Mu can win.

"I bet on Shi Mu to win!" At this moment, Ma Long's voice sounded abruptly.

After finishing speaking, he put a large bag of top-grade spirit stones on the gaming table.

Its voice was not loud, even a little timid, but it surprised many people around.

Seeing Ma Long's good looks, a middle-aged disciple with a wretched appearance thought that Ma Long didn't know how to gamble, so he reminded him:

"Girl, don't just bet on Shi Mu because of his high odds. Although he was lucky enough to beat Liao Yong a few days ago, he is a new disciple after all, and he can't compare to these old disciples who have cultivated in the Holy Land for many years. .In terms of chances of winning, he really doesn't have much of a chance."

Hearing this, Ma Long frowned and thought for a while, then stretched out his hand towards the gambling table, and threw out a small bag of top-grade spirit stones.

"These are also bets on Shi Mu to win." Ma Long said, this time, his voice was raised a bit, as if he mustered up his courage and planned to fight with all his strength.

The large bag of spirit stones before was Shi Mu's 360 top-quality spirit stones, but now this small bag of spirit stones is all of Ma Long's savings, and she has put all of the 240 top-quality spirit stones on it at this moment.

"Okay, buy it and leave. The battle has already started, stop betting, stop betting!" Duanmu Guang glanced at Ma Long with a smile, then looked away, and shouted.

The wretched middle-aged disciple looked at Ma Long like an idiot, but the latter ignored him at all and turned his attention to the ring.

"Shi Mu, Blue Sea Stars, human race." Shi Mu said.

"Chen Zemu, Mu Qixing, the Qingmu demon clan." Chen Zemu replied.

Shi Mu stretched forward with one hand, making a gesture of invitation.

Seeing this, Chen Zemu had a solemn expression on his face, not daring to underestimate the enemy at all.

But when he put his hands together in front of his body, a blue light suddenly shone on his body, and a huge blue tree with a height of more than ten feet rose up from the ground and appeared behind him.

With a single wave of his hand, dozens of blue vines hanging from the giant tree rose high under the blue light, and then shot straight at Shi Mu like a row of javelins. Amazingly fast!

The sound of breaking the air is loud!

Seeing this, Shi Mu tapped his toe lightly, and immediately flew upside down.

"Bang bang" a series of sounds!

A puff of smoke and dust rose from the place where he was standing just now, and dozens of cyan vines had all plunged into the ground of the stone platform.

Shi Mu turned over and fell down, he did not know when he had tightly grasped the Ruyi Iron Rod in his hand.

Seeing this, Chen Zemu raised both hands up at the same time, and then swung them down violently.

The green light of the giant tree was shining, and hundreds of arm-thin vines on its trunk, like a mess of hair, stood upright, and then suddenly shot towards Shi Mu.

Shi Mu kept changing his steps, dodging those vines one after another, but those vines were chasing after him like tarsal maggots.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

A series of sharp voices sounded, and the vines chasing behind Shi Mu nailed into the stone platform one by one, forming a cage of vines on the stone platform in a short while, making its movable range smaller and smaller, until finally , almost trapped in an area less than three feet away.

"Junior Brother Shi, don't waste your efforts, you can't escape my cage of green wood and rattan!" Chen Zemu said confidently with a flash of his eyes.

"Sorry, I have nothing else to do, it's just a bit of brute force." Shi Mu said.

After all, with a swing of his long stick, he slammed into those ivy.

"boom!"

Knocking straight up with the long stick, Shi Mu felt his arm go numb, but saw that there was only a crack on the ivy, but it was not completely broken.

"Since you are so obsessed with obsession, then accept the move!" Chen Zemu shouted.

I saw that the blue light on his body became more intense, and the wooden lines on his skin became clearer. There were dozens of vines entangled with each other on the giant tree, turning into an extremely thick vine spear. The light flowed, and it looked terrifying.

Chen Zemu held it in front of his chest with one hand, and the thick vine spear snaked up like a dragon, and in an instant it came to the top of the cage, with the tip hanging down on top of Shi Mu's head.

When Shi Mu saw this, he was not afraid at all, he just put the Ruyi iron rod in front of him, and rotated it from left to right.

"Junior brother Shi, my spear has the power to break rocks and open mountains. Let me ask you again, are you sure you don't want to admit defeat?" Chen Zemu felt that he had a chance to win, and asked again in order to show his generosity.

Shi Mu didn't answer, but focused on waving the long stick in his hand.

"Hoo...hoo..."

Suddenly there was a whistling sound in the air, and the sound was like a beast roaring, depressing and hoarse.

And as Shi Mu swung his stick faster, clusters of white air currents visible to the naked eye condensed around him.

The shapes of the streams of air looked like beasts crouching down.

At this time, Chen Zemu also realized that something was wrong with Shi Mu, and quickly smashed his tightly clenched fist to the ground.

Accompanied by his movement, the thick vine spear that hovered over Shi Mu's head just now also brought a violently rotating blue airflow, and slammed down on Shi Mu brazenly!

At this moment, Shi Mu's eyes flashed, and he completely ignored the vine spear on his head, and smashed his hands holding the stick in the direction of Chen Zemu like lightning.

"Tiger's Si comes out!"

"Boom!" There was a loud noise.

Shi Mu's wishful iron rod smashed into the ground first, and countless smoke, dust and rubble rose up.

I saw the white air currents that were suppressed by Shi Mu, as if breaking free suddenly, turned into white tigers and rhinos, and rushed towards Chen Zemu.

Because the tiger and rhino formed by the white air flow were extremely fast, and could pass through the gap between the ivy cages in front, everyone below the ring saw a white torrent flashing from the stage and directly crashing into Chen Zemu.

Chen Zemu was so shocked that he only had time to mobilize the giant tree to stand in front of him.

"boom!"

The giant cyan tree collapsed suddenly, and Chen Zemu's slender figure flew out of it like a kite with a broken string, and fell on the stone platform.

At the same time, the thick vine spear that was stabbing down like a rainbow, also collapsed less than three feet away from Shi Mu as Chen Zemu fell.

In mid-air, the figure of the red-browed young man who was the referee flickered a few times, and landed beside Chen Zemu. After some investigation, he found that he just passed out and his injuries were not too serious.

And Shi Mu suddenly retracted the long black stick in his hand, turned it into a small toothpick, swallowed it in his mouth, then bent down and coughed heavily, with a look of intense energy and physical exertion, and then heaved a sigh of relief , slowly walked back to the queue of high-ranking disciples.

If Cai'er were here at this moment, she would definitely laugh at Shi Mu's hard-fought appearance of winning.

But to outsiders, it seemed that Shi Mu had tried his best just now to use the tiger's mouth, and when Chen Zemu relaxed his vigilance, he managed to defeat the opponent by a coincidence, and even many people around the ring raised their voices. Sniffing boos. (To be continued.)
