Chapter 379 Three-Way Fight
Amid the roar of cheers, Lin Mu slowly flew towards the main hall.
Having just defeated Chu Zhen, Lin Mu now recalled that he was extremely lucky.
As a cultivator of the Lancai Realm, Chu Zhen was indeed extremely powerful and had unparalleled attack power. If he had not suddenly discovered the flaw in the azure moon at the critical moment, he would have been the one who had no choice but to fly off the stage.
Lin Mu's face was stern. Chu Zhen was already like this, so how powerful would Xing Yun, who was even stronger than Chu Zhen, be?
With a flash of sword light, Lin Mu landed in front of the main hall.
As soon as he landed, Lin Mu felt a blackening in front of his eyes, dizziness, and fatigue like a tide, coming in waves.
In the battle just now, Lin Mu consumed too much. Whether it was spiritual power or consciousness, he was extremely overdrawn.
But this was the last round of the tour, and the other matches were not over yet, especially the Guyun match. Lin Mu wanted to wait and see. He wanted to know whether Gu Yun won or lost, which was related to the final battle.
After greeting Luo Yan, Lin Mu sat cross-legged in front of the hall, took out a bottle of hundred-year-old spiritual milk and began to recover his spiritual power.
After a cup of tea, Lin Mu's cultivation was restored to 70% or 80%, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Hearing cheers, Lin Mu looked up at the platform. On the platform, Gu Yun flew down with a smile on his face. He also won the last game.
So far, the tour has ended!
Everyone's record has also been released.
As expected by Lin Mu, Gu Yun won a victory without suspense, and the record is also ten wins and two losses!
Trouble is coming, Lin Mu frowned slightly.
The top four in the competition have been determined, and they are him, Xing Yun, Chu Zhen, and Gu Yun.
But what makes Lin Mu uneasy is that he has the same record as Chu Zhen and Gu Yun, all of which are ten wins and two losses!
Logically speaking, he and Chu Zhen have the same record, and he beat Chu Zhen, so he should be ranked ahead of Chu Zhen.
But according to this rule, Chu Zhen also beat Gu Yun, so he should be ranked ahead of Gu Yun.
So is Gu Yun fourth?
Obviously not.
Because Lin Mu did not appear in the competition with Gu Yun, that match was considered as Lin Mu's loss to Gu Yun. According to the rules, Gu Yun should be ranked ahead of Lin Mu!
This is a dead loop.
The three of them suppressed each other, and it was impossible to rule out a specific ranking, so they could only be second!
According to the rules of the competition, the first match was against the fourth, the second match was against the third, and then the winners of these two matches competed for the first place. According to the current competition rules, how should it proceed?
Should the three of them go to fight Xing Yun together?
Lin Mu couldn't help but look at Yin Xin, frowning and saying: "Now my record is the same as Chu Zhen and Gu Yun's, how should the competition proceed?"
"Your concerns are also a problem." Yin Xin looked indifferent, did not answer, and looked at Wushuang Zhenren beside him.
Wushuang Zhenren looked at Gu Yun flying over, nodded secretly, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "The three of them have the same record. If I force them to sit in a certain order, someone will be dissatisfied. If we arrange another competition, it will be troublesome. By then, Xing Yun will be at ease, and the three of them will fight each other. It will not be good for any of them."
Wushuang Zhenren smiled at Yinxin: "In my opinion, why don't the three of them fight on the same high platform? The one who can stay on the high platform will be the second. Then the winner will compete with Xing Yun for the first place. How about it?"
Yinxin smiled indifferently and nodded lightly: "This is a good idea. It saves a lot of trouble, and the competition will have more highlights and fun."
Chu Zhen and Xing Yun also flew with Gu Yun at Qiu Wei's call. They also heard Wushuang Zhenren's words.
"Do you three agree?" Wushuang Zhenren looked at Chu Zhen, then at Lin Mu and Gu Yun, and asked with a smile.
"Of course I have no objection." Chu Zhen smiled slightly on his pale face.
He suffered a lot in this battle.
But looking at Lin Mu, Chu Zhen did not feel unhappy. On the contrary, there was still a faint smile in his eyes.
He gained a lot from this competition. Lin Mu found the flaws in his fusion sword moves, which gave him a lot of inspiration. After today, he plans to concentrate on perfecting his fusion sword moves. If the power of the blue moon can be brought to the extreme, Chu Zhen believes that with his strength, it will be easy to kill a mid-stage Jindan cultivator!
Lin Mu and Gu Yun looked at each other, and they understood each other, and laughed together: "We have no objection."
Wushuang Zhenren looked at the three people and said with a smile: "Then it's settled. Three days later, the three of you will fight in a melee, and the winner will be eligible to compete for the first place! In view of the fact that there are so many talented cultivators in this competition, the reward for the first place in the competition will naturally rise. The first place will no longer be an ordinary magic weapon, but a life magic weapon! The other three people will also be rewarded with a magic weapon of excellent quality! The rest of the rewards are also slightly changed. The four of you will all get resources to impact the golden elixir, and the extra one will be provided by my Wushuang Sword Sect!"
The four of them smiled faintly.
Lin Mu and Yin Xin and his party immediately said goodbye to Wushuang Zhenren and left.
As soon as he flew up, Lin Mu heard Wushuang Zhenren smiled and said to Chu Zhen and Xing Yun: "Please come to my cave, I have something important to discuss."
Luo Yan paused, then returned to normal. A trace of doubt appeared in Lin Mu's heart. The sword flashed, and the group left quickly.
Back to Piaoyun Peak, Lin Mu plunged into the cave and began to concentrate on developing sword skills.
Huajin Waterfall, Jinling Speed Shuttle, and Zhantian Sword, these three sword skills are all powerful, but if you want them to form a perfect combination, you still need some practice. However, with the experience of Chu Zhen and Xing Yun's sword moves, Lin Mu followed the gourd and added his own ideas. The three sword skills have begun to show their power.
Even Lin Mu has practiced the sword skills he thinks are the most powerful.
However, it is just a practice. Practicing sword skills in the sea of consciousness does not consume spiritual power, so sometimes the sword skills that can be practiced in the sea of consciousness may not be able to be used in a real battle with others due to the limitations of spiritual power and state.
In the strongest sword skills combination evolved by Lin Mu, he used Huajin Waterfall as a frontal attack, followed by Jinling Shuttle from the side, and Zhantian Sword as a powerful and domineering supplementary attack from behind.
That's not all, what's even crazier is that Lin Mu plans to suddenly use his strongest attack trick after these three sword skills, Huajin Waterfall in two bursts!
I believe that with such an attack, if the timing is right, Xing Yun will also be unable to resist!
However, Lin Mu is not confident that his spiritual power can support him to perform these five sword skills in this instant. Even if he can perform them, can his meridians in the first level of the shaping realm of "Quenching Meridians" withstand such pressure?
These all need to be verified and honed one by one.
In the next few days, in addition to practicing cooperation in the sea of consciousness, Lin Mu would occasionally walk out of the hut and evolve such a powerful attack in the rotating moon space.
As expected.
With his current cultivation, he really can't do this.
This is an essential gap, which can't be made up in a short time. Lin Mu gritted his teeth and couldn't help but think of the Millennium Spiritual Milk!
He even took the Millennium Spiritual Milk directly to practice this powerful attack, but what made him dissatisfied was that he failed several times in a row.
Although he could perform such an attack completely, and he could perform all five sword skills smoothly, his speed was really not good, especially the last two consecutive Huajin Waterfalls, and there was a long gap between the previous three sword skills.
The competition between masters decided the victory in an instant. During this time interval, with Xing Yun's super attack power, it was enough to make Lin Mu lose countless times.
Lin Mu did not hesitate to use the Millennium Spiritual Milk and tried tirelessly. With his efforts, the gap between sword skills was constantly shrinking, but he was still not satisfied.
Six days later, Lin Mu withdrew from the Xuanyue Space.
His sword skills were still not good enough, but fortunately, there were still a few days before the final competition, and Lin Mu still had time to continue to hone.
Of course, before that, he had to stand out from the melee with Gu Yun and Chu Zhen and become the winner!
After leaving the cave, Lin Mu and Yin Xin flew to Wuling Peak on their swords.
As soon as he flew to Wuling Peak, Lin Mu saw a dense crowd in the southwest corner of the square.
It turned out that Sikong Pan changed the odds again.
The more important the gambling moment, the crazier it is.
What made Lin Mu shudder was that Sikong Pan actually adjusted the odds of Xing Yun to a thousand times!
Bet one and you lose a thousand!
The odds of Chu Zhen and Gu Yun were even crazier, all soaring to two thousand times!
The odds of two thousand times, even Lin Mu was trembling with fear.
It was too crazy!
Sikong Pan played this gambling game too big!
The cultivators were crazy and bet the spirit stones with jealous eyes. The cultivators who had kept calm before could not keep calm anymore, and they were all stimulated!
The only thing that was frustrating was that all the cultivators who wanted to bet on Lin Mu returned empty-handed.
Sikong Pan did something even more extreme this time. He directly changed the odds of Lin Mu to 1 to 0!
That is, no matter whether Lin Mu wins or loses, if you bet on Lin Mu now, you won't get a single spiritual stone!
This obviously completely isolated Lin Mu from the other three.
"How can this be possible?" Many cultivators complained.
"Why don't you let us bet on Lin Mu!"
"Sikong Pan's move is completely unjust!" Some people were heartbroken.
"Sikong Pan has bet on Lin Mu alone!"
"He is the craziest gambler!"
Feng Hou and Ma Hong stood outside the crowd and laughed, "Fortunately, we bet all our spirit stones on Lin Mu before. I remember the odds were 1 to 20!"
Ma Hong said with a pained look, "A full 500,000 low-grade spirit stones, all our savings. If Lin Mu didn't become the first, we would be completely reduced to paupers."
Feng Hou smiled and said, "Then I am willing to do so."
Turning around and looking at Ma Hong, who looked bitter and resentful, Hong, Feng Hou smiled and comforted: "Don't worry. Even if Lin Mu doesn't become the first, we won't lose anything. Don't you see that Senior Yinxin has occupied three of the ten peaks in the spiritual mine? If we really lose everything this time, we will go to Lin Mu. Will we still lack spiritual stones in the future? Besides, with a sword master like Yinxin guiding us, why do we need spiritual stones?"
Ma Hong's complexion improved a lot, and he said worriedly: "You have already comprehended the sword skills, it will definitely not be a problem for Senior Yinxin to accept you, but I am afraid that I am a little worried."
Feng Hou smiled and said, "You can barely perform the forced sword skills. If you practice diligently, it is inevitable that you will comprehend the sword skills in time. Don't worry."
Ma Hong was about to speak when Qiu Wei announced in front of the Wushuang Hall that the competition had begun.
The two of them stopped talking and looked at the platform.
On the platform, Lin Mu, Chu Zhen, and Gu Yun flew into the air together, standing on three legs.
Under the stage, tens of thousands of cultivators cheered and jumped for joy.
The battle between the three top masters of the Lingji period must be exciting!
