In the Heavens

Li Mu could only pretend not to see Master's embarrassment, although he didn't think there was anything to be ashamed about.

Martial arts training is full of ups and downs, and the more difficult it is to face in the future. There are many first-class masters in the Jianghu, but there are only a handful of top masters.

Even the two overlords of Shaolin and Wudang have lost their gear. It is pure luck that Huashan School can produce two top masters in this generation.

For ordinary Jianghu sects, as long as there are no shortage of first-class masters, the sect's inheritance can be maintained.

Although the supreme master is powerful, he is not really invincible. As long as there are four or five first-rate peak masters, they can contend against an ordinary peak.

The embarrassing episode ended soon, and with the arrival of the Double Ninth Festival, Li Mu also got rid of the boring social work.

...

Chaoyang Peak

As the venue of this big competition, it is already crowded with people, except for a few invited guests who have seats, the rest are finding their own places to stand.

However, the "circle" can still be vaguely seen. The big factions of the rivers and lakes gather together, the small gangs and martial arts families mix together, and there is another wave of scattered people from the rivers and lakes.

Although people came forward to say hello from time to time, but in the end they returned to their own circle, which can be said to be very different.

Fortunately, this morning sun is not the other day, and the open area is large enough, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many people.

...

"Welcome all the fellows from all walks of life to come and watch the ceremony, which will make the Huashan faction flourish. Ning has thanked you here, and now the martial arts tournament begins."

The crisp start gave Li Mu a new understanding of the head of the sect, Ning Qingyu. Sure enough, there is no such thing as a simple, well-controlled man's heart among the gangsters.

The competition rules are very simple, divided into five arenas according to the entry time. This means that the earliest non-class disciples were 12 years earlier than Li Mu.

As for those who started later, Dabi has nothing to do with them for the time being. If the cultivation base is too low to participate in the competition, it is embarrassing.

If it weren't for the big competition to help stimulate the breakthrough of the bottleneck, I am afraid that the disciples of the third-rate realm would not have the opportunity to appear. Even so, the lowest level of cultivation to be able to participate in the Grand Competition is the third-rate peak.

Just like the two juniors who entered the martial arts at the same time as Li Mu, they were not qualified to participate in the martial arts competition because of their lack of cultivation.

After the competition in the sub-arena is over, the challenger competition will start, and the top ten martial arts will be determined. Although there is no clear stipulation, everyone still tacitly believes that the senior brothers in the back challenge the senior brothers in front.

Drawing a lottery from the bamboo tube, Li Mu couldn't laugh or cry when he looked at the number in his hand. I don't know what kind of luck it is, but I was able to draw "No. 8".

A total of 15 people in the same session are eligible to participate in the big competition. According to the serial number 1 vs. 15, 2 vs. 14...the number 8 in the middle has a bye and directly enters the next round.

There is a one-in-fifteenth chance of being met. This kind of luck is either Ouhuang or Ouhuang.

Under the envious gazes of the crowd, Li Mu successfully advanced to the second round, and now he only needs to watch the duel between the brothers.

"The Gentleman Hangs Upside Down"

"White Rainbow Sun"

"Golden Goose Crossing the Sky"

"Boundless Fallen Trees"

"Green Hills Hidden"

...

All kinds of sword moves were continuously displayed in the arena, which opened Li Mu's eyes and sighed repeatedly: So the sword can still be used like this.

As a school that mainly focuses on swordsmanship, the Huashan School will naturally not lack swordsmanship. It's just that human energy is limited, and it's impossible to learn all kinds of martial arts.

Ordinary Huashan disciples also practiced three or five sword techniques, usually what the master practiced, and the apprentice followed suit.

After all, swordsmanship is not only limited to moves, but also a method of luck that matches the moves. These are top secret word of mouth, will not be recorded on paper.

Compared with the other arenas, the rookies on the fifth side of the arena were obviously not worth seeing.

The only advantage is probably the speed. In less than a stick of incense, two waves of people went down. According to this speed, it is estimated that the first round will be finished in the morning, and it may be finished today.

It's right to think about it, after all, it's just a competition, not a fight to the death. After determining that he can't win, he will take the initiative to admit defeat to show the gentleman's demeanor that he can afford to lose.

Even if the disciples of the two sects of sword qi meet, this is what the elders have ordered. After all, there are outsiders present, so we can't make trouble and let others see the joke.

Even if it is to overwhelm the opponent, it is still a matter of the finals. It has little to do with ordinary disciples, and it can just show your tolerance.

...

"Senior brother, Yue Buqun is very powerful. Just now, senior brother Cheng accidentally lost to him and was seriously injured. You have to be careful."

Just after the second round of lottery was drawn, a familiar voice rang in Li Mu's ear, and it was Xu Buwei, his junior who started at the same time as him.

Just now, his attention was all on the match in the No. 1 and No. 2 rings, and he really didn't pay attention to the battle between Yue Buqun and Cheng Buyou.

Since it was a martial arts competition, it was inevitable that someone would be injured. Cheng Buyou was injured, but Li Mu didn't take it to heart.

This kind of thing is mostly an accident, under the watchful eyes of everyone, no one dares to be cruel.

Fighting each other from the same sect is a big taboo in the world, and the Huashan sect's sect rules are not vegetarian.

Patting Xu Buwei's shoulder lightly with his hand, Li Mu replied with a smile: "Don't worry, junior brother. I can handle it."

As soon as the words fell, the uncle who presided over the competition shouted: "Next group, Yue Buqun vs. Li Bumu!"

Without any hesitation, Li Mu immediately performed his lightness kung fu, and landed on the fifth ring like a flying swallow.

It can't be said that it shocked the audience, but the brothers who were paying attention to the fifth ring were really stunned. This lightness alone is enough to make Li Mu invincible in the competition.

The opponent, Yue Buqun, was also stunned, but he hadn't forgotten that he was fighting, so he quickly realized, and said gracefully: "Senior brother, you're good!"

Just relying on this demeanor, it is difficult to make people feel bad. Li Mu finally understood the origin of the "Gentleman's Sword".

There are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames. In his youth, Yue Buqun behaved like a gentleman, and at the same time, he was not lacking in wisdom.

The ranking of the disciples of the Huashan School is very interesting. Needless to say, the first to enter is the senior brother, but the disciples who entered the same batch will have to talk about their cultivation.

It was this big competition that determined the ranking. He was called "senior brother" before the competition started, obviously intending to admit defeat, which made Li Mu feel ashamed to let him lose too badly.

After responding with a slight smile, Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Junior Brother, please!"

"Pine welcomes guests"

"There is a phoenix instrument"

"Xiao Shi rides the dragon"

"Breezy and refreshing"

"Friends of Poetry and Sword"

...

The two sides come and go, and it seems that they are evenly matched. However, experienced veterans all know how hard it is for Li Mu to suppress in order to maintain this evenness.
