"Don't worry, I'm right next to you. Even if you are recognized, my strength is more than enough to lead you away." Shi Mu's voice continued to sound.
When Hussere heard this, his heart suddenly felt at ease.
He secretly took a deep breath, and the strange emotions in his heart were finally swept away.
"Sir Special Envoy?" The short, fat man frowned slightly.
"Okay, you send someone else to investigate Deacon Quan's matter. Today is the big day for the selection. Everything should be based on this. Don't delay it." Hussere said with a cold voice.
"Yes." The short, fat deacon and others looked solemn and hurriedly agreed.
Without even looking at the others, Hussele walked towards a high platform near the ring.
Seeing this, the bustling crowd around him became quiet and turned their attention to Hussere.
"Fellow disciples, I am here to recruit disciples who are willing to explore the Xihe Continent under the orders of the right protector of our sect. I am very pleased that you have signed up so enthusiastically." Husseile stood on the high platform and said in a loud voice.
As soon as this statement came out, many people present showed excitement on their faces.
"Here, I would like to explain the rules of this selection!"
Hussere paused and continued:
"Only disciples of our sect can participate in this selection. When you come to me to register later, you need to verify your identity first, and then conduct a one-on-one arena competition based on the results of the draw. The winner can follow me to the Mingyue Sect.
Headquarters, where the next round of selection will be conducted.”
As soon as Husserei finished speaking, there was a burst of discussion in the audience.
Husserey walked to the table in the center of the high platform and sat down.
Immediately, a Ming Yue Cult disciple who looked very young, only about twenty years old, jumped onto the high platform, took out his Ming Yue Order, and handed it to Husse Lei.
The short and fat deacon and several others led some deacon disciples from different altars to maintain order near the high platform.
Hussere took the Ming Yue Order, but did not see how he acted. The blood light on the token flashed twice, and several lines of text and an image appeared.
Husseile glanced at the young disciple of the Ming Yue Sect, nodded, and returned the Ming Yue Order to him. Then he took out the black jade tablet, tapped it a few times with his hand, and a few small words appeared on the jade tablet.
"Next." Hussere waved his hand, indicating that the young disciple could go down.
Another Ming Yue Cult disciple stepped onto the high platform.
The disciples of the Ming Yue Sect formed a long queue under the ring, and Shi Mu was also mixed in the queue. Seeing Husse Lei's calm appearance, he nodded secretly in his heart.
It didn't take long for dozens of people to sign up, and soon it was Shi Mu's turn.
He stepped onto the high platform, took out the Ming Yue Token from his body and handed it to Husse Lei.
Husseile glanced at Shi Mu, and the token in his hand emitted a burst of red light.
The Ming Yue Ling was held in his hand, and the deacons next to him didn't see it or care.
He glanced at it, nodded, and returned the token to Shi Mu. At the same time, he wrote down Shi Mu's name on the jade plate, but he used a pseudonym.
Shi Mu turned around and walked off the high platform, feeling a little relieved.
After passing this level, the next step will be easier.
After two full hours, all the applicants had been registered, and the number of applicants turned out to be over a thousand.
In the following time, Husserey and several other deacons spent some time arranging the drawing of lots for the participants. Soon after, a huge notice was completed and hung near the high platform.
On the notice is a battle table, consisting of two teams.
The nearby Ming Yue Sect disciples immediately crowded over and rushed to watch.
"Everyone, the battle schedule has been prepared. Since this trip to sea is tight, the competition will start from now. Those whose names are read will immediately go on stage to compete." Hussere said, and at the same time glanced at the short and fat deacon beside him.
The latter understood and took a step forward.
"Arena No. 1, Gan Zhe vs. Huo Tuhai, Arena No. 2..." The short and fat deacon announced the list, and the people whose names were mentioned immediately boarded the arena in the square and began to compete.
There is a deacon serving as the referee on each of the ten arenas. Both parties are disciples of the Ming Yue Sect. They know the basics and the competition proceeds very quickly.
Half an hour later, Shi Mu also heard his name and stepped onto a stage.
The figure on the opposite side flashed, and a blond and blue-eyed disciple of the Ming Yue Sect jumped onto the ring with quite strong skills.
He glanced at Shi Mu with his spiritual consciousness, and a look of contempt suddenly appeared in his eyes, secretly congratulating himself on his good luck.
Shi Mu had already restrained his aura before, and the mana fluctuations emanating from his body were much weaker at this moment, and it seemed that he was only at the level of someone who had just entered the spiritual level.
The blond young man was already a late spiritual level warlock, so naturally he didn't take Shi Mu seriously.
"The competition begins!"
A middle-aged male referee in a gray robe on the ring announced and stepped aside.
As soon as his voice fell, the blond young man gave a low shout and waved a black staff lightly in his hand.
There were two crisp sounds of "Puff", and black mist emerged in front of him, and then two tall skeleton warriors walked out of it, with black bones all over their bodies, holding serrated bone knives as big as guillotines in their hands.
"It's a black bone skeleton!"
"Together, the strength of these two black-bone skeletons is comparable to that of an innate being. It seems that the boy opposite is destined to lose."
Near the arena, everyone was talking a lot.
The blond young man listened to the discussion in the audience, and his heart suddenly became a little restless.
He didn't know how much thought he spent on these two black-bone skeletons, but it was all worth it.
The blond young man waved his staff, and two black-bone skeletons immediately jumped towards Shi Mu with the bone knives in their hands.
Shi Mu turned a blind eye to the skeletons rushing towards him from both ends. He simply closed his eyes and muttered something.
A red light flashed behind him, and six red dots appeared in front of him. With a flash of red light, each red dot turned into a fireball the size of a basin, burning fiercely and emitting a powerful wave of mana.
"go!"
Shi Mu waved his arm, and six fireballs shot out, flying towards the two black skeletons, like six meteors, making a harsh sound as they shot through the air.
The blond young man was slightly startled when he saw this, as if he was surprised by Shi Mu's ability to sense fire elements.
After all, for ordinary spiritual-level warlocks, being able to release a fireball the size of a head is already pretty good. Being able to reach such a size would not be possible unless the fire attribute sensitivity exceeds five degrees, or the cultivation level reaches the star level.
But he did not show the slightest fear. He waved his staff and the two skeletons stopped flying. The bone knife in his hand glowed brightly and slashed towards the oncoming fireball.
Shi Mu narrowed his eyes and his pupils were covered with a layer of fluorescence.
The void in front of him flashed slightly, and six invisible slender shadows flashed past.
boom!
The six fireballs suddenly flew away like a swarm of frightened bees.
Even the two bone knives failed to hit even a single fireball.
With a roar, the six fireballs flashed around the two skeletons, and then gathered together behind them, turning into a torrent of flames about ten feet in size, rushing towards the blond young man, and were in front of him in the blink of an eye.
.
The golden young man's face changed drastically, and he screamed in horror. The staff in his hand exploded with a "pop" and turned into a huge bone shield, blocking it in front of him.
There was a loud bang!
The bone shield only lasted for a breath or two before it shattered into pieces!
There was a look of horror on the blond young man's face.
Seeing that his body was about to be engulfed by the monstrous waves of fire, a figure stood in front of him, it was the referee disciple.
A gray light lit up from the referee's hand and condensed into a light curtain.
Boom!
The torrent of flames hit the light curtain, and the gray light curtain immediately flashed wildly, and the light quickly dimmed.
However, the torrent of flames had also weakened a lot at this moment. Before the gray light curtain almost collapsed, it finally roared and turned into a few remaining flames, drifting away in the wind.
The middle-aged referee exhaled, his face turned pale, and the gray light curtain in front of him was only a thin layer.
If those fireballs were more powerful, they could break the light curtain.
Shi Mu raised his eyebrows and lowered his arm.
The referee waved his hand and the gray light curtain dissipated. He took a deep look at Shi Mu and then announced:
"Mu Shi won this competition."
The blond young man's face was ashen, and with a wave of his staff, he sent the two black-bone skeletons who were still standing blankly on the ring back to the undead interface, turned around and jumped off the ring.
Shi Mu walked down the ring slowly, with a trace of satisfaction on his face.
Over the past few days, he has been practicing the Tongtian Yuling Jue. Not only has he become more proficient in controlling the magic soul chain, he can also control the number of fireballs to six.
Just now in the ring, he just tried his best, and the effect was really good.
The crowd near the ring looked at Shi Mu very differently than before, and from time to time some people speculated on Shi Mu's identity.
However, at this moment, Pic City was filled with disciples of the Ming Yue Sect from various places nearby, many of whom had just joined the sect, and it was a mixed bag. It was not easy to find out the details of a person.
Shi Mu came to the high platform where Hussere was and reported his victory or defeat.
"Okay, I passed the preliminary round. We will gather here at noon three days later and head to Quyang City together," Hussere said.
"Yes." Shi Mu agreed, then turned and walked away.
After three consecutive days of competition, the preliminary selection for going overseas has finally come to an end.
At noon on the fourth day, more than 500 winners gathered in Picheng Square and waited quietly.
Everyone present showed excitement on their faces, and they were discussing the Ming Yue Sect's voyage to Xihe Continent this time.
Due to the war a hundred years ago, the Ming Yue Sect has become increasingly weak in recent years. Most of these sect disciples have not been successful in their cultivation journey, and many of them are holding back a breath of bad breath.
Now that there is an opportunity to go to the new continent where spiritual energy is rumored to be more abundant and where monsters are everywhere, naturally everyone is gearing up and eager to try, hoping to change their fate.
Shi Mu stood in the corner, looking at the crowd beside him.
The cultivation level of everyone present was quite high, especially there were many warlocks, more than 70% of whom were spiritual level warlocks.
He was secretly stunned. It is unlikely to see such a situation in other places. (To be continued.)
