Chapter 55 Rules

As soon as Luo Tong announced Lin Mu's victory, Ye Xing struggled to get up and leave.

He lost too much in this match.

He still had many powerful moves that he hadn't used yet, but he was defeated by Lin Mu inexplicably, and he was really unwilling to accept it.

He naturally didn't have a good face towards Lin Mu.

Lin Mu's face was calm, and he didn't take Ye Xing's cold eyes to heart. There will be winners and losers in a competition, and this is something that no one can change. If he offends people because of this, there is nothing he can do.

Luo Tong looked at Lin Mu with admiration. He saw Lin Mu's several competitions in a row, and naturally he was full of good feelings for Lin Mu.

He also understood Lin Mu's feelings at this moment. Many years ago, he also experienced this kind of thing.

Patting Lin Mu's shoulder gently, Luo Tong comforted him: "Don't take it to heart. There's nothing wrong with doing what you want to do."

Lin Mu's expression became calm, and he bowed to Luo Tong and said: "Thank you for your teachings, brother. I will remember it in my heart."

Luo Tong smiled and said: "Try your best to participate in the competition. This is a test for you." After that, he left.

Gu Chen then stepped forward and said to Lin Mu with a smile: "Congratulations, Senior Brother, for defeating your opponent again. It's just around the corner to be in the top five."

Lin Mu regained his composure and said with a smile: "Nothing is known yet. Who knows what the result will be?"

Gu Chen smiled: "With your strength, Ye Xing can hardly survive five rounds under your hands. The top five is definitely in your pocket. It's easy to get it without any effort."

Lin Mu's face changed and he said solemnly: "Don't underestimate anyone. Ye Xing is very strong. It's pure luck that I can beat him."

Gu Chen smiled, knowing that Lin Mu was careful in what he said and did, and he didn't take Lin Mu's words to heart.

If Ye Xing was really powerful, how could he be so unbearable, like paper, and he would break at the first pierce.

Lin Mu's competition ended very early.

After Lin Mu's victory, Xiang Yi also successfully advanced, and he was indeed a strong contender for the first place. Following Xiang Yi, Luo Yun also won quickly, defeating the Qi Refining Level 10 cultivator. Luo Yun was also unscathed.

But unlike Lin Mu and the other two, the other matches took a long time to decide the winner.

At this point, the strength of the cultivators was extremely close, and it was difficult to tell the winner. Two of them, although they successfully advanced, were also seriously injured. Even if they could rest for ten days after this competition, it would be difficult for them to recover from their injuries.

After the top eight were selected, there were still three places left for the top eleven.

These three places will be selected from the eight who failed.

The competition to select three from the eight was extremely fierce. Everyone used their best skills and did everything they could just to get the only three places to advance.

The battle was extremely tragic!

Lin Mu's words really came true.

Among the eight people, Ye Xing's strength was indeed super strong.

Although he was seriously injured, he still relied on his seriously injured body to defeat two people in a row and successfully advanced.

But the two people who were against him were not so lucky.

Ye Xing took out all his resentment for losing to Lin Mu on the two people, and his attack was extremely cruel and merciless.

One of the two people was severely injured by the "Fireball Technique", and the other was pierced through the lower abdomen by the "Vajra Cutter". Seeing Ye Xing injured, the two people could not help but look down on him, but they paid a heavy price for their contempt. They would not be able to get out of bed for two months.

Gu Chen then realized that what Lin Mu said was true, and believed in Lin Mu's words. This Ye Xing is indeed very strong.

It was a coincidence that the three people who were finally selected happened to be the original opponents of Lin Mu, Luo Yun and Xiang Yi, namely Ye Xing, Qi Ming and Sha He.

This result also made the two inner disciples who drew lots very excited.

Before the duel came, they were naturally overjoyed to draw such a wonderful duel through their drawing of lots, and felt that they did not disappoint the expectations of thousands of outer disciples.

After the top eleven of the winning group were selected, the four masters of the losing group were also quickly selected.

Each of these four people is also a powerful character. It's just that they were a little unlucky at the beginning and met a more powerful opponent.

But after some efforts, they also became one of the top fifteen and can compete for the final top five.

Some people even set their sights on the top three.

The reward for the top three is a top-grade magic weapon, which makes people excited just thinking about it.

A top-grade magic weapon is worth at least thousands of low-grade spirit stones. Many cultivators can't earn so many spirit stones in their lifetime.

But as long as you become the top three in this competition, you can get a top-grade magic weapon.

This is also the reason why so many people fight desperately, and would rather be seriously injured than give it a try.

Among the fifteen people selected, four were seriously injured. Although they successfully advanced, it was also a miserable victory, and the hope of participating in the duel was slim.

The duel was scheduled for ten days later and will be conducted under the judgment of the head and the four elders.

The rules of the duel have also changed, and are completely different from the previous draw.

In this duel, the cultivators participating in the competition have the power to choose their own opponents.

The competition will be divided into five arenas, each of which will be guarded by the headmaster and the four elders.

At the beginning of the competition, the headmaster and four elders will select five people from the fifteen to defend the ring.

Each of the remaining ten people has two challenges and can freely choose the ring master on the ring as his opponent. As long as he knocks down the ring master on the ring, he can replace him.

The knocked-down ring master also has two challenges and can continue to fight back.

Finally, when everyone's chances are used up, the disciples who can still stay on the ring are the top five.

This competition rule seems fair, but in fact it is full of traps. If you are not careful, you will lose everything.

The first five people who were selected on the ring are not necessarily lucky.

After a round of battles among the ten people in the audience, only a few can still stay on the ring.

Moreover, in this way, the number of matches is extremely uneven.

Some ring masters may be too strong, and everyone is afraid of failing to challenge and wasting an opportunity in vain, so no one cares.

There are also some champions who may be considered weaker by the crowd, so they will attack them in a group, and use the round-robin battle to wear them down.

So, this rule is extremely beneficial to the strong, and can save a lot of trouble.

But for the weak, there will be many more twists and turns.

Among the fifteen people, this rule is the most disadvantageous to Lin Mu.

If he becomes the champion, he is the one who is most likely to be attacked by the crowd.

His cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi Refining is outstanding among the top fifteen, and everyone wants to come up and take advantage of him.

Even if Lin Mu originally had the strength to be in the top five, he might not be able to hold on under the round-robin battle.

After listening to the inner disciple reading the rules of the competition, Lin Mu's face was as calm as water, and he performed the "Wind Control Technique" and floated back to the courtyard.
