Chapter 54: Rising to Fame

Qianyu Peak.

Thousands of people stood in the square, waiting eagerly for the competition to begin.

Today was the last competition before the duel, and the top eleven disciples of the winning group would be selected today.

Gu Chen did not go to Baiwu Pavilion today, but came directly to Qianyu Peak to watch the competition. He heard that Lin Mu had entered the top sixteen and was very likely to enter the final duel. He came today to cheer for Lin Mu.

After winning the last competition, Lin Mu became famous in Qianyu Sword Gate.

As the only Qi Refining Level 8 cultivator among the top sixteen, Lin Mu was extremely eye-catching. Before the competition, few people paid attention to Lin Mu. Most people focused their attention on those Qi Refining Level 10 cultivators and had no hope for low-level cultivators.

But in the competition, Lin Mu overcame all obstacles and defeated his opponents with his Qi Refining Level 8 cultivation, and even defeated Qi Refining Level 9 cultivators.

What is even more incredible is that most of the people who competed with Lin Mu were intact after the competition, and few were injured.

The competition within the sect was extremely brutal, and there were many injured people. This is why there was a long break between each competition, so that the disciples could recover from their injuries as soon as possible.

Lin Mu's path to promotion was very different from that of ordinary people. He was definitely a rare flower in Qianyu Sword Sect.

Among many cultivators, his extremely low cultivation level also made people think about it.

In Qianyu Sword Sect, Lin Mu quickly became the object of favor of many low-level cultivators, and he also had a very high status among female disciples.

In the past, some people compared Lin Mu with the genius Luo Yun, and some people were dismissive and said that this was an exaggeration.

But now, everyone believes that Lin Mu has this strength.

Today, many people came just for Lin Mu, wanting to see if this disciple with the lowest cultivation level could create miracles again in the competition.

The inner disciples have come on stage to draw lots, and there was a cheer from the audience.

The male disciple took out a waist card from the box and read out: "No. 83 Sha He."

The female disciple followed closely: "No. 6 Xiang Yi."

There was an uproar below. Both of them were masters of the tenth level of Qi Refining. Many people speculated that Sha He had a good chance of entering the top five, and Xiang Yi was a strong contender for the first place.

These two people were grouped together, which could be called a strong duel. It must be wonderful and should not be missed.

Many disciples stood up and followed Xiang Yi and Sha He to the first venue.

The drawing of lots continued.

"No. 36 Luo Yun."

"No. 171 Qi Ming."

The crowd below was excited again. Qi Ming was also a cultivator of the tenth level of Qi Refining, but Luo Yun was a genius that only appeared once in a century. Who would win or lose in the competition between these two people would not be known until the competition was over.

Another crowd followed the two people.

The two inner disciples continued to draw lots. Such a strong duel was created by the two of them, which made them excited.

"Number 666 Lin Mu." The man read aloud.

"Number 49 Ye Xing." The woman looked excited.

Another perfect match!

Lin Mu, a rising star in the sect.

Ye Xing, a tenth-level Qi Refining master, a strong contender for the top five.

The duel between these two people, whether Lin Mu will continue to create miracles and defeat Ye Xing, or Ye Xing will defeat Lin Mu and defend the dignity of the strong, is exciting and we have to wait and see.

Lin Mu stood in the corner and frowned slightly when he heard that his opponent was Ye Xing.

During the five days of rest, Lin Mu took out his spare time to find out the news of his opponents besides practicing. He had a general understanding of the top sixteen. There were a few who were very difficult to deal with, which made him keep them in mind.

This Ye Xing happened to be one of them.

Ye Xing, a master of the tenth level of Qi Refining, has dual spiritual roots of gold and fire. He is good at the gold magic "Vajra Cutter" and the fire magic "Fireball Technique", and his attainments in "God Movement Technique" are not low.

It is said that in the competition, there was a cultivator of the tenth level of Qi Refining who fought against Ye Xing. The two fought for a long time without a clear winner. At the last moment, Ye Xing suddenly used his trump card and performed three consecutive shots of "Vajra Cutter", piercing his opponent's two arms in one fell swoop and winning a great victory.

The power of the three consecutive shots of "Vajra Cutter" should not be underestimated.

Lin Mu can only do two consecutive shots of "Genjin Jue" now, which is still slightly inferior to Ye Xing.

A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and a firmness appeared in Lin Mu's eyes. He stood up and walked towards the No. 3 venue.

Gu Chen did not approach Lin Mu at this time to chat with him, fearing that Lin Mu would be distracted. He also followed the crowd, followed Lin Mu and Ye Xing, and ran to the No. 3 venue.

After Lin Mu entered the venue, he stood opposite Ye Xing.

The judge of this competition was, by coincidence, Luo Tong, an acquaintance of Lin Mu. This was Luo Tong's initiative, and he was also very interested in Lin Mu.

Luo Tong nodded and smiled at the two of them, then set up a ban and signaled the start of the competition.

Unlike the previous competitions, there were many onlookers outside the venue this time, three layers inside and three layers outside.

Everyone was talking about it, and those who had originally had expectations for Lin Mu were now feeling uneasy. Facing Ye Xing, they were afraid that this miracle would end.

"I think there is no doubt that Lin Mu will lose in this competition." A fat disciple shouted out loudly, obviously a supporter of Ye Xing.

A low-level cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining beside him ignored the huge difference in cultivation between him and that person and glared at him: "Don't underestimate Senior Brother Lin Mu. I guess Senior Brother Lin Mu will continue to create miracles in this competition. Ye Xing will lose."

Several friends at the third and fourth levels of Qi Refining around him nodded quickly to show their support for him.

The fat disciple looked disdainful and turned his head away, ignoring the words of these low-level cultivators.

Gu Chen did not join the argument. He stared at the field closely and sweated for Lin Mu.

Lin Mu bowed slightly to Ye Xing and said with a smile: "Please give me more advice, Senior Brother."

Ye Xing smiled: "No need to be polite, let's start."

Lin Mu nodded, performed a spell with his hand, and a huge fireball went straight to Ye Xing.

This move was purely a test, and Lin Mu had no hope.

As expected, a faint smile appeared on Ye Xing's lips, but his hands were definitely not vague. He waved his ten fingers and three fireballs flew out in a row.

He started with three consecutive "Fireball Techniques"!

Lin Mu's fireballs only resisted slightly, breaking up one of Ye Xing's fireballs, and the remaining two fireballs flew towards Lin Mu quickly.

Lin Mu's heart trembled, and he quickly performed "Green Water Technique". A white cloud flew forward and met the two fireballs.

Water overcomes fire!

The attack power of the cloud is not great, but it is quite effective in defending against "Fireball Technique".

The two fireballs hit the cloud, and water and fire cannot coexist. The fireballs exploded in the cloud, and water vapor overflowed.

Ye Xing's eyes turned cold. He also knew something about Lin Mu. He knew that Lin Mu was a five-element spiritual root, and he was flexible and changeable in his magic, making it hard to defend against.

Ye Xing didn't take it seriously because his three consecutive shots of "Fireball Technique" didn't work. He hadn't used his trump card yet.

With a cold snort, Ye Xing used the magic formula in his hand continuously, no longer testing each other with Lin Mu, and began to show his true strength.

Three sharp little chisels flew out side by side, flashing with golden light, full of murderous aura, and shot towards Lin Mu at a rapid speed.

Three consecutive shots of "Vajra Chisel"!

Lin Mu's heart was chilled. Ye Xing despised him so much that he wanted to fight quickly.

Lin Mu wondered if he was really so vulnerable?

With a calm face, Lin Mu immediately used the "Red Fire Formula" three times in a row, and three fireballs whizzed towards the sharp little chisels.

Lin Mu didn't even look at the effect of the fireball. After the "Red Fire Formula", he used the "Genjin Formula" twice again, and two golden small swords shot sharply towards Ye Xing.

Ye Xing's sharp bead and Lin Mu's fireball met in mid-air. Three fireballs burned two sharp beads in succession before they turned into sparks and collapsed and dispersed.

The last sharp bead continued to fly towards Lin Mu with a sharp whistling sound, and met Lin Mu's two golden swords halfway.

The first golden sword and the sharp bead collided in the air, and both turned into gold powder and fell from the air.

Lin Mu's second golden sword continued to shoot towards Ye Xing with unabated momentum.

Ye Xing's heart trembled, and like Lin Mu, he quickly performed three consecutive shots of "Fireball Technique" to burn Lin Mu's golden sword.

Lin Mu looked calm, looking at the fireball that was heading towards the golden sword, his face unchanged.

When the fireball was about to meet the golden sword, Lin Mu hurriedly controlled the direction of the golden sword. The golden sword turned left and right in the gap between the three fireballs like a swimming fish, and even passed the three fireballs and shot straight towards Ye Xing.

Ye Xing was shocked. Before the competition, he had heard that Lin Mu knew this strange magic, but he didn't expect it to be true.

He must not let the golden sword get close to him, otherwise he will definitely lose. Ye Xing immediately saw the problem.

He quickly cast the "Fireball Technique" again, trying to burn the golden sword before it got close.

Just when the spell was halfway through, Ye Xing suddenly felt dizzy, and his sea of ​​consciousness was turbulent. He stood still and was indifferent to the golden sword flying straight at him.

There was a cry of surprise outside the venue, and the situation was extremely dangerous.

"Spiritual Consciousness Thorn"!

The person who really wanted to fight quickly was actually Lin Mu. His cultivation was low, and a long battle was extremely disadvantageous to him.

Seizing the moment when Ye Xing cast the spell, Lin Mu suddenly launched the "Spiritual Consciousness Thorn", which worked in one fell swoop.

The spiritual consciousness that could be comparable to the foundation-building period, Ye Xing could not resist it at all.

Lin Mu cast the "Wind Control Technique" and instantly flew into the air, dodging the three flying fireballs.

At the same time, the golden sword went straight through Ye Xing's right shoulder and hit the restriction behind Ye Xing, and the light shield bulged out a cone-shaped circle.

Blood immediately flowed from Ye Xing's shoulder. Under the stimulation of the flowers, Ye Xing was slightly awake, but his mind was still dizzy.

Lin Mu was floating in the air, and was about to use the "Geng Jin Jue" again to win the competition in one fell swoop.

Ye Xing's weak voice came: "I admit defeat."

Lin Mu's magic formula loosened and fell to the ground.

Luo Tong removed the restriction, and his heart was full of doubts like most people. The moment the golden sword flew over, Ye Xing was like a clay sculpture, with no reaction.

It was really inexplicable.

The people outside the venue also felt that they were not satisfied. The competition was just about to reach the most exciting part, but it stopped abruptly and Ye Xing took the initiative to admit defeat.

But many low-level cultivators were full of smiles and cheered. They only cared about the result and didn't care about the process of the fight.

Lin Mu's victory was like a sweet rain, which made them feel relaxed and happy.

Luo Tong announced loudly: "Lin Mu wins."

Cheers came, and Lin Mu advanced again. With only the eighth level of Qi Refining, he successfully entered the final duel.

The miracle continued again!

After defeating Ye Xing, the hope of becoming the top five also increased greatly.

Gu Chen walked towards Lin Mu with a smile on his face.
