Chapter 45: Slightly Better
Xu Song stood opposite Lin Mu.
He was dressed in white and looked handsome.
Outside the light shield, many disciples gathered to watch, mostly female disciples.
Because the ban had a soundproof effect, Lin Mu could not hear what the people outside were saying. But from their excited expressions when they saw Xu Song, Lin Mu knew that they were all here to cheer for Xu Song.
Lin Mu smiled bitterly in his heart. It was really tricky to meet such an opponent in the first competition.
Xu Song clasped his fists and saluted, smiling: "This is our first competition. I hope you can teach me."
He had already seen Lin Mu's style. He had also watched the life-and-death battle between Lin Mu and Ma Huayuan, and was deeply impressed by Lin Mu. Before the competition, he thought it would be easy to win the first game, but he didn't expect that he was unlucky and actually met Lin Mu. But he would not give up easily. Years of hard training made him full of confidence.
Lin Mu smiled and replied: "Junior brother, don't be too modest. The competition has not started yet, and it's hard to say who will win."
"We'll know after the competition." Xu Song said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Song quickly pinched his fingers, and a water arrow instantly formed on his hand!
Xu Song loosened his fingers and shouted: "Take it."
A sharp water arrow flew towards Lin Mu with the sound of wind.
Low-level water-based magic "Water Arrow Technique"!
Lin Mu's strategy is to respond to changes with the same. As early as Xu Song performed the "Water Arrow Technique", Lin Mu had quietly performed the "Wind Control Technique".
Seeing the water arrow coming quickly, Lin Mu quickly moved two steps to the left. The water arrow almost stuck to Lin Mu's clothes, smashed backwards, and plunged into the transparent light shield.
The light shield only had a ripple, and the water arrow was dissolved and disappeared.
The restrictions of the spiritual solitude cultivators should not be underestimated.
Lin Mu's feet were fast, and his hands were also busy. He quickly made hand gestures with both hands, and performed the "Red Fire Art", releasing a huge fireball.
The fireball hit Xu Song with a scorching breath.
Xu Song's strategy was completely different from Lin Mu's. This time, he decided to fight hard.
Water overcomes fire, and he was not at a disadvantage.
A water bullet quickly appeared in his hand. Looking at the flying fireball, Xu Song suddenly released the water bullet in his hand.
Another low-level water-based spell, "Water Bullet Spell"!
The water bullet and the fireball met in the air, and water and fire could not coexist.
Boom!
The fireball went out, and water splashed everywhere!
The female disciples outside the restriction were excited, dancing and cheering.
A single water-based spiritual root?
Xu Song used two water-based spells in succession, and did not use other spells. Lin Mu could not be sure whether he only knew water-based spells or was deliberately hiding his strength.
The two attacked and defended, and each of them made a move, seemingly evenly matched.
The test ended here, and Lin Mu decided to let go and really start the competition.
Among Lin Mu's attacking techniques, the most lethal ones are "Red Fire Art" and "Gen Jin Art".
"Red Fire Art" did not work, so Lin Mu immediately used "Gen Jin Art".
A sharp golden sword attacked Xu Song silently and swiftly.
Facing this extremely lethal "Gen Jin Art", Xu Song did not dare to take it head-on.
His feet were extremely fast, his figure flashed, a phantom floated by, and he was already ten feet away.
The golden sword missed and hit the restriction.
Ding!
A small bag was pushed out of the transparent light shield, and it quickly returned to its original state.
Xu Song felt a palpitation. If this golden sword hit him, a transparent hole would be punched out of his body.
Lin Mu was happy in his heart. This move of "Gen Jin Art" really forced Xu Song to use his defensive means.
"God-like Movement Technique"!
What Xu Song had just used was definitely the "Divine Speed Technique"!
Although Lin Mu had not practiced the "Divine Speed Technique", he had roughly read the jade slips of the "Divine Speed Technique". The "Wind Control Technique" that Lin Mu practiced was definitely not so fast.
The phantom that Xu Song had created when he moved quickly just now made Lin Mu very envious.
Lin Mu's hands did not stop, and when Xu Song's body was not stable, he suddenly used the "Thick Earth Technique".
Dust filled the air, and the surroundings suddenly became gray, and the eyes were blurred and could not see clearly.
The female disciples outside exclaimed, and they remembered this move very deeply. In the life-and-death battle, Lin Mu used the dust in the sky to confuse Ma Huayuan's vision at the last moment, and then used the Gengjin Technique to kill him with one blow.
At this moment, Lin Mu used it again, and they couldn't help but worry.
Although they knew that they could not hurt people's lives during the competition, they still secretly sweated for Xu Song.
As expected!
Everyone could see clearly that in the gloom, a dazzling golden light flashed and smoke and dust rolled. No one knew what happened in the forbidden area.
The smoke and dust dissipated, and the scene became clear again.
The female disciples cheered. Xu Song was not hurt this time and was still intact.
But the situation was not optimistic. Xu Song was in a mess, covered in dust, and his clothes were pierced with a big hole by the Gengjin Jue.
Xu Song was terrified. The golden sword flew past his chest. At that moment, he even sensed the breath of death. But he was very lucky. At the moment when the golden light appeared, he suddenly turned sideways and barely avoided the killing move. But he was also scared out of his wits.
Lin Mu was neat and tidy, standing opposite Xu Song as if he was strolling in the garden.
He had shown mercy in the previous move. Under his precise control, the golden sword passed by Xu Song's chest at a thrilling distance of a millimeter.
Under Lin Mu's careful control, the balance of victory had tilted towards this side.
But Xu Song was not willing to admit defeat immediately. He still had many spells that he had not yet performed.
Although the previous move was extremely dangerous, in his opinion, luck was still on his side. He could not admit defeat before the competition was over.
In front of so many female disciples, he had never gained the upper hand and was suppressed by Lin Mu everywhere, which made him very embarrassed.
Even if we lose, we have to lose beautifully!
Xu Song straightened up, his eyes revealed a firmness.
His hands kept changing, forming a series of phantoms on his chest.
Lin Mu's heart trembled, knowing that Xu Song wanted to make a last ditch effort.
He stared at the movements of Xu Song's hands without blinking.
Before Xu Song finished the spell in his hand, his feet began to move, and his steps became faster and faster, circling around Lin Mu. Lin Mu could keep up with his pace at first and slowly turned around. But the speed of "God of Movement" on the ground was slightly better than "Wind Control", and Xu Song quickly turned into a phantom, circling around Lin Mu.
Lin Mu was dazzled, and Xu Song's fast movement made him at a loss, not knowing where to start.
While he was hesitating, a water bullet came at him, and Lin Mu dodged it sideways.
Before he could stand firm, another water bullet came, but this time, it came from another place.
Xu Song had formed a phantom around Lin Mu, and Lin Mu had no way of guessing where he was.
But he knew that Xu Song's rapid movement, forming a circle of phantoms, would make it difficult for anyone to detect his location, but this method would consume a lot of spiritual energy and would not last long.
As long as he could avoid this wave of attacks, Lin Mu could immediately counterattack.
Lin Mu's mind moved, knowing that it was not wise to follow Xu Song in circles, and being led by the nose was not pleasant at all.
Xu Song had already shown Lin Mu the speed of "The Magic Movement Technique".
Lin Mu also wanted Xu Song to see the flexibility of "The Wind Control Technique".
Facing the water bullets coming at him, Lin Mu's figure quickly floated up into the air. During Lin Mu's ascent, two more water bullets came.
This scene seemed familiar to Lin Mu, and it was similar to Ma Huayuan's four consecutive "Fireball Techniques".
Lin Mu dodged the second water bullet as soon as he was in the air.
Xu Song had also discovered Lin Mu's change of tactics, so the third and fourth water bullets were all adjusted in direction and shot into the air.
Lin Mu's movement speed in the air was not as fast as on the ground, so he could only barely dodge the third water bullet.
But the fourth one was unavoidable.
Lin Mu's heart tightened at this time. If he was hit by the water bullet, he would not be seriously injured, but he would definitely be knocked down from the air.
At that time, Xu Song only needed to send a water arrow when Lin Mu fell, and he would be seriously injured and fail.
Lin Mu knew that if he didn't show his true strength, this competition would probably fail.
While in the air, Lin Mu performed the "Red Fire Art", and a fireball met the water bullet. The two met in mid-air, and exploded with a loud bang.
Lin Mu's figure rose again, and a phantom appeared on his hand, and then three fireballs flew out of his hand in succession.
Xu Song was still moving quickly on the ground, like a phantom.
Ordinary people had no way to start.
Lin Mu smiled slightly, and three fireballs were divided into three directions, dividing the circle of phantoms into three places.
Xu Song's fast-moving figure suddenly stopped, and he almost hit the fireball head-on.
But to his surprise, the fireball in front of him did not hit the ground, but rushed straight to his chest.
Before he could think of anything in his mind, he was knocked to the ground by the fireball.
Lin Mu hurriedly controlled the direction of the fireball, and the fireball deflected to the side without hurting his body.
Xu Song's clothes were slightly burned, and the whole person fell to the ground, in a mess.
Lin Mu performed the "Wind Control Technique", fell to the ground, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Xu Song up.
"Junior brother, are you okay? I was careless for a moment, please forgive me." Lin Mu said apologetically.
Xu Song shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I admit defeat. Your magic is too weird and hard to defend against."
At this time, Luo Tong took away the ban and announced loudly:
"Lin Mu wins this game!"
