Chapter 364: The Rogue Cultivator Surprises

Lin Mu won another victory. The cultivators watching from the stage had different expressions. Some were envious, some were jealous, and some were resentful.

But there were also many people who were overjoyed. Most of these cultivators had participated in the gambling game with the white-clothed cultivators and bet on Lin Mu to win. If Lin Mu had won a victory before, these cultivators would never be so excited, but now, the situation is completely different. Because of the gambling game, these cultivators are excited every time Lin Mu wins. No one can get away with spiritual stones!

For them, every victory means that they may be able to get more spiritual stones in the future!

The more victories, the greater this possibility!

Groups of cultivators were smiling, talking and cheering.

"Three consecutive wins!"

"Four wins and one loss"

"Completely crushing the opponent!"

"Whenever he participated in the competition, he never lost!"

"If Lin Mu was not injured, he would not have lost to Gu Yun for no reason!" Someone looked regretful.

"That's because Lin Mu didn't compete with Gu Yun. Otherwise, Gu Yun would not be his opponent. He would definitely be defeated! Definitely!" A blue-clothed cultivator was completely impressed by Lin Mu's performance and said confidently.

This immediately made some people unhappy.

"He just defeated a few opponents who were not very powerful. You are bragging like this. It's really shameless!"

"It's pure bragging. There is no point in bragging like this."

"That's right. If you have the ability, you can really defeat Gu Yun!"

"He has never defeated any of the most famous masters!"

"Four wins and one loss is not a strong record. There are at least five people who can compare with him!"

"There is someone who has not lost a single game so far and has won all five games! And he is a casual cultivator! Lin Mu is famous, but his record is not as good as a casual cultivator. What are you bragging about?"

Where there are people, there will be arguments and constant excitement.

There was a lot of discussion under the stage, many of which were about himself, but Lin Mu was unmoved.

He has no time to care about these things now. This Tianxiao Realm competition is a rare opportunity for him. Every day, he can feel that he is making progress and his strength is steadily improving. Although the competition has only lasted for a few months, his strength has increased more in these few months than in the previous few years, or even decades!

He comprehended the sword skills in these few months.

He comprehended two consecutive sword skills in these few months.

His physique was promoted to the Golden Core stage in these few months.

His spiritual consciousness reached the spiritual consciousness transformation realm in these few months!

Lin Mu didn't want to waste time on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Now, he still has a lot to do.

After the competition, the first thing he did was to return to Piaoyun Peak and ask Fen Ning for sword skills.

Lian Shu followed Luo Yan to practice sword skills and made rapid progress.

Those who are arrogant are always self-righteous and look down on everything. It is difficult for them to find their own weaknesses, but when they meet a real master, they will be defeated miserably!

Even though he is now the best among all the heroes and surpasses countless talented cultivators, Lin Mu still maintains a humble and peaceful mentality and strives to improve his own strength.

He asked Fen Ning to teach him sword skills. Fortunately, Fen Ning was very kind and readily agreed.

In the competition, Lin Mu found his weakness. His sword moves are now fast enough. When his mind moves, his thoughts move, and when his thoughts move, his sword moves! However, he still lacks in detecting the flaws in his opponent's sword skills. Even with his current spiritual sense, it is extremely difficult to see the flaws in other people's sword skills. Sometimes, even if he sees them, it takes a lot of time. In the ever-changing competition, it is easy to be passive.

The embarrassment is that he was able to find the flaws in the opponent's sword skills several times, but he was always a step slower, missed the opportunity, and could not disrupt the trend of the sword skills. He could only watch the sword skills attack.

The opponents in these competitions were not top masters among the top 13 in the competition. Their sword skills were relatively weak, and there were many flaws in their sword skills, which were easy to find. However, if he met a master, Lin Mu was not sure whether he could find the flaws in his opponent's sword skills.

He tried his best to find no flaws in the hidden heart sword skills. The same was true for Luo Yan's sword skills.

Fen Ning's cultivation was only in the middle stage of the golden elixir, and he was not a pure sword cultivator. When he used his sword skills, Lin Mu used all his strength to stimulate his consciousness and could barely find the flaws.

This was exactly why Lin Mu went to Fen Ning for advice.

For the next three days, Fen Ning kept using his sword skills, and Lin Mu floated in the air, frowning, urging his consciousness to detect the flaws in Fen Ning's sword skills.

At the beginning, Fen Ning used ten sword skills, and he could only find one or two.

But as Fen Ning performed sword skills more and more times, Lin Mu gradually found the experience. After Fen Ning performed ten sword skills, his success rate in finding the flaws in the sword skills became higher and higher!

Not everyone can have the opportunity to practice with a Jindan stage cultivator. What's more valuable is that sometimes Fen Ning will take the initiative to point out the flaws in Lin Mu's sword skills when he sees that Lin Mu can't see the flaws in the sword skills. He will even perform a series of sword skills with almost the same flaws to hone Lin Mu's detection level.

With Fen Ning's selfless help without sparing his spiritual power, Lin Mu's detection ability has made great progress. Three days later, Fen Ning performed ten sword skills, and he was able to find the flaws in six or seven of them!

He is a discerning eye!

The only thing that made Lin Mu slightly dissatisfied was that his sword moves were limited in power and could not destroy the trend of the Burning Condensation Sword Skill!

Jindan stage cultivators, whether in terms of spiritual power quality or spiritual power depth, were one level higher than Lingji stage cultivators. Before, when Chu Zhu used a sword skill, Lin Mu had to use sword skills twice to compete with him. Now, even if his strength increased and he used sword skills, he could not match the Burning Condensation Sword Skill.

However, this could not stop Lin Mu, as he had truly embarked on the path of sword cultivation.

In his opinion, sword moves could destroy sword skills, so what if it was sword skills?

Using sword skills to destroy sword skills, this conjecture was not completely unrealistic!

Although sword skills were too slow to be used, extremely heavy, and not as flexible as sword moves, if he could comprehend a light, swift, and extremely agile sword skill, could it destroy sword skills like sword moves?

The effect would definitely be better!

It was just that time was tight. Three days had passed, and he had just made a breakthrough in exploring sword skills, and the next competition was coming!

As Yinxin and his companions returned to Wuling Peak, Lin Mu began to participate in the competition again.

Luo Yan secretly investigated his opponent and found that he was Guan Ping, a genius disciple of Yuling Sect, who was extremely powerful!

After Lin Mu carefully analyzed the top 13 opponents this time, he found many clues.

Wushuang Jianmen, as the largest sect, had three disciples in the top 13, one was Gui Younian, one was Gu Yun, and one was the genius cultivator Qin Zhi. Yuling Sect, as the second largest sect, was slightly inferior, with two disciples selected, one was Xiao Ye, who had been defeated by Lin Mu, and the other was Guan Ping.

Lin Mu also had an impression of Guan Ping. At the beginning, he was betrayed by Shi Weihan, and Yuling Sect besieged him, and Guan Ping was the leader. The tragic scenes that occurred in Yanman City were all caused by Yuling Sect. Shitou's parents and the fat and bad couple also died at the hands of Yuling Sect disciples.

He has always remembered this grudge deeply in his heart. Now that he is strong enough, he will never be soft when he encounters Yuling Sect disciples!

The Qianyu Sword Sect has risen very fast, and two disciples have entered the top 13, namely Luo Chen and Xu Hai. If the sect had not split, with Lin Mu, there would have been three disciples, which could be compared with the Wushuang Sword Sect!

The Wanjian Sect was unlucky, and several disciples were unlucky. They met masters and were eliminated! Lin Mu played a great role.

Tianjian Sect has a cultivator who was lucky enough to be selected, named Qi Fei, and his strength is also very strong! Among the top ten sects, they are also rare.

The rest are almost all casual cultivators!

Lian Shu has been defeated by Lin Mu, and Niu Teng has also been defeated by Lin Mu.

Whether it is resources or masters, casual cultivators cannot be compared with disciples of famous and upright sects. Their strength is indeed very rough. Even if they enter the top 13, they can hardly compete with real masters, but their potential is also great. Just like Lian Shu, his strength is soaring very fast now, although he has been losing...

The other two casual cultivators are very different from other casual cultivators, and Lin Mu is very concerned.

One of them is Xing Yun, who has now won five consecutive games!

What is incredible is that Xing Yun wins every competition very easily, and has never used sword skills, and always wins with sword moves!

Another casual cultivator is also eye-catching. This person is called Chu Zhen, but what is surprising is that he has never used sword skills! He wins every time with sword moves, with a record of four wins and one loss, and the only loss is to Xing Yun!

The two genius casual cultivators are extremely brilliant. After five competitions, they are catching up with Lin Mu and Gu Yun!

Gu Yun has won all five games and is currently tied for first place with Xing Yun. Lin Mu, Chu Zhen, Guan Ping, and Xu Hai all have four wins and one loss, tied for third place. The strength of the other cultivators is much worse.

Lin Mu's opponent in this game is Guan Ping, the strongest disciple of Yuling Sect!

Now the two have the same record, four wins and one loss. This competition is extremely critical. If Lin Mu wins, he will directly surpass Guan Ping. If he loses, it will be extremely difficult to catch up and become the top three!

In today's competition, Lin Mu also deliberately observed other people's competitions.

Among them, Gu Yun's opponent is Chu Zhen! This is what he wants to see very much.

Now Chu Zhen has the same record as him, and Gu Yun has won one game against him. No matter who wins or loses, it is extremely beneficial to him. However, he is more optimistic about Gu Yun. As the grandson of Wushuang Zhenren, Gu Yun is blessed with many trump cards. Even he dare not say that he can definitely beat Gu Yun now.

Moreover, Gu Yun is practicing the fifth-grade sword art, which is better than other cultivators. If he comprehends the sword art with this sword art, the power is also one level higher than others!

With Wushuang Zhenren's personal guidance, Gu Yun will definitely not be worse than him in fighting skills, and even more experienced!

After Qiu Wei announced the start of the competition, Lin Mu put aside his distracting thoughts, and with a flash of golden light, he flew up to the platform on his sword.

Guan Ping, with a calm expression, also flew up to the platform.

Ju Bin, with a smile on his face, landed and announced loudly: "The competition begins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he flew into the air.

Guan Ping came prepared and did not use his sword skills. He fought Lin Mu with sword moves, not anxious or impatient, and attacking and defending in moderation.

Lin Mu's sword moves continued, like a tide, attacking Guan Ping in waves, and the two fought back and forth, and it was hard to tell who was better.

In the midst of the fierce fight, Lin Mu's mind suddenly moved, and he hurriedly looked towards the high platform next to him.

On the fifth platform, Gu Yun and Chu Zhen fought, and the winner was decided in an extremely fast manner!

What surprised Lin Mu was that the cultivator who flew down from the platform was actually Gu Yun!

Chu Zhen didn't even use his sword skills before knocking Gu Yun off the platform!

At this time, an extremely powerful attack suddenly came.

Lin Mu's heart tightened, and he looked back, only to see Guan Ping seize the opportunity and use his sword skills!

A huge net of blazing flames swept across the sky, covering the sky and the earth, and smashed down with a bang!

Sword skills, sky fire sweeping the earth!
