Shi Mu stood in the corner of the martial arts training ground with Cai'er on his shoulder.
In order not to attract attention, he has suppressed his aura. In the eyes of outsiders, he is no different from a warrior who has entered the early stage of innateness. Unless the power of the opponent's consciousness far exceeds his own, it is impossible to see his true strength.
.
The power of spiritual consciousness of a practitioner of both martial arts and martial arts is already stronger than that of ordinary warriors. With the addition of Yun Shen Shu and Tongtian Yuling Jue to the power of spiritual consciousness, his current spiritual power has far exceeded that of ordinary people in the early stage of the earth level. Of course,
Compared with ordinary moon-level warlocks, it is still slightly lower.
Even so, his unconcealed unruly temperament still attracted many people's attention. However, when they discovered that his cultivation level was not high, many people showed disdain and looked away.
As the stipulated time for the selection competition approaches, people who have signed up to participate have also arrived at the scene one after another.
Among these people, there are mainly mid- to late-stage Xiantian warriors, and there are even several star-level warlocks.
This competition was hosted by Shopkeeper Shi of Tianwu Baoxuan. He looked at the sky, walked up to the high platform in the center of the martial arts training ground, coughed slightly, and announced:
"It's almost time, no more waiting..."
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and a woman hurriedly jumped into the martial arts field.
The woman was dressed in an orange outfit, showing off her slender figure just right. Her fair face was slightly red at the moment. Under her two green willow-leaf eyebrows, she had a pair of autumn-clear almond eyes with eyelashes like curtains. She was extremely beautiful.
It brings a bit of sassiness.
Before everyone could come to their senses, the generous shopkeeper Chao Shi held her fists and said, "I'm Leng Yuetong, I'm sorry for coming a little late. I think it's still too late, right?"
Shopkeeper Shi looked at her, nodded, and began to announce the rules without answering:
"A total of eighty-five people signed up to participate in the guard selection this time, and as of now, the actual number is seventy-eight. The winner is determined by drawing lots. There are forty pairs of numbers. Those who draw the same number will compete, and the winner will be
You can participate in this escort mission. Number 39 and 40 will have a bye and will be directly promoted."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present whispered among themselves, but they didn't have any opinions.
"Okay, now, let's start drawing lots in order!"
After saying that, Shopkeeper Shi waved his hand, and a man in blue robes walked out beside him and placed an iron box in the center of the high platform. There was a pile of sealed paper packages in the iron box.
Shi Mu followed the crowd, reached out and picked up a paper bag, and was about to open it when he suddenly heard Cai'er's voice.
"Shitou, I know that girl!" Cai'er shouted with eyes wide open.
"This is a public place, please be quiet!" Shi Mu said.
"I'm serious, look at that woman! It's the one who was ogling you on the street when you first entered the city that day!" Cai'er shouted again, rubbing Shi Mu's neck with her wings.
Shi Mu looked up and found that the person Cai'er was talking about was Leng Yuetong, who had arrived belatedly.
However, after much deliberation, he could not figure out when he had seen this girl. Cai'er couldn't hold back and had already flown to Leng Yuetong's side.
"Hey, beauty, do you still recognize me?" Before he could finish speaking, Shi Mu had already received a sharp blow on the head.
"What are you doing, Shitou, what are you doing?" Cai'er shouted unhappily.
Leng Yuetong was surprised that a colorful parrot actually talked to her, when she suddenly saw Shi Mu appearing next to her, and the corners of his mouth gradually raised.
"It turns out it's you!" Leng Yuetong was a little surprised, with surprise and joy.
"Remember, I have a good memory. Even though you were wearing a veil that day, I still recognize you. We said goodbye that day and saw you today. This is fate..." Cai'er chattered on the side.
"This is your parrot spiritual pet, right?" Leng Yuetong heard Cai'er's nonsense and found it very funny. She thought it was trained by Shi Mu and turned to Shi Mu.
"This beast talks nonsense all day long. I hope the girl will forgive me for offending me." Shi Mu bowed his hand to Leng Yuetong, picked up Cai'er and left directly.
"Shitou, Miss Leng is so beautiful, why aren't you tempted?" Cai'er kept making a few noises while being dragged along by Shi Mu.
"Shut up!" Another blast landed on Cai'er's head.
"Ouch, it hurts! Can you please be gentle? It's really a stone..." Cai'er yelled unwillingly.
A group of contestants around them looked sideways when they saw that Shi Mu and Leng Yuetong were talking very close to each other.
You know, among the barbarian women, there are almost no such stunning beauties as Leng Yuetong in Rikang City. What’s more, judging from the faint mana fluctuations emanating from Leng Yuetong, this woman is also a star-level warlock. How can she not
Make everyone envious.
Seeing this, some strong people in the late stage of Xiantong also tried to strike up a conversation with Leng Yuetong. Unexpectedly, they were ignored by her with indifference. Their faces were a little confused. Seeing that Shi Mu was just a young boy in the early stage of Xiantong, they were immediately filled with hatred.
The root of the tooth is itching.
"A young boy who has just entered the realm of innateness actually wants to steal a woman from me. How disgusting!" A burly man shouted loudly, causing laughter from all around.
"Brother Jia, with your strength, you still have to give that kid some color."
"Yes, that boy looks so arrogant, I don't like it!"
"..."
Shi Mu acted as if he didn't hear anything and without even looking at these people, he strode towards the man in blue robe and handed over his number. This move aroused everyone's resentment.
Soon, the competition began, and according to the rules, it started from number one.
The small martial arts training ground suddenly became lively, and people were knocked off the ring from time to time.
With Cai'er's eyesight, Shi Mu had long known that his opponent was Wu Changsheng, who was also No. 18, but when it was his turn, he was actually replaced by the tough-looking man named Jia just now.
Shi Mu sneered in his heart and walked onto the ring calmly.
The man surnamed Jia glanced at the few supporters in the audience, laughed loudly, and jumped onto the ring holding a giant mace full of sharp teeth.
The audience suddenly burst into boos. The man surnamed Jia is a late-stage innate powerhouse. There are probably not many people in the entire Rikang City who can match him. Shi Mu, who is opposite, has never been seen by anyone, and his strength is only in the early-stage innate stage.
With his appearance, everyone thought he was a nobody worth mentioning.
Only Leng Yuetong looked at the ring with curiosity. Although she had just defeated her opponent and successfully obtained the qualification to escort this time, she did not seem to feel particularly happy.
"Boy, give you a chance. Kowtow to me three times here, and I won't cripple you!" The man surnamed Jia glanced at Shi Mu with contempt and said.
As soon as he said this, there was a burst of laughter from below.
"Are you done?" Shi Mu said leisurely, looking at the fist in his right hand.
"court death!"
The man surnamed Jia shouted loudly, his body flashed with green light, and it suddenly swelled in a circle. The giant wolf-toothed club in his hand was wrapped with a ball of green light, and he suddenly struck at Shi Mu, and a late-stage innate coercion swept across the entire field and rushed towards Shi Mu.
Mumen gate.
There was a "boom"!
Shi Mu's figure immediately collapsed and disappeared after being swept by a ball of green light, turning out to be nothing more than an afterimage.
His body transformed into a cyan figure, and with lightning speed, he circled behind the man named Jia, raised his arm, and punched out unceremoniously. Suddenly, an invisible force surged out.
There was a "bang", followed by a blast of bones!
"ah!"
The man surnamed Jia let out a wail, flew out of the arena like a cloud, and fell to the ground with a thud. His chest was concave, he was vomiting blood, and he was dying.
The entire martial arts training ground fell silent for an instant, and everyone looked at Shi Mu with inexplicable horror.
Shi Mu didn't say anything, but turned to Shopkeeper Shi and bowed his head. Only then did Shopkeeper Shi react and loudly announced that Mu Shi had obtained the qualification.
Looking at Shi Mu's back, Shopkeeper Shi pondered for a while, called the man in blue robe, whispered a few words, and started the next competition.
"Shitou, I knew you would definitely win! Who is that guy? He dares to do anything in front of me. I don't want to live anymore..." When Cai'er saw that Shi Mu had won, she immediately flew over happily.
"Oh, Miss Leng, look at me and tell you not to worry. Compared with a stone, that guy is like an egg hitting a stone." Cai'er proudly greeted not far away.
Shi Mu was stunned, and it was Leng Yuetong again.
"Brother Mu is really awesome, he really doesn't show his true face." Leng Yuetong walked up and said with a smile.
"Miss Leng is laughing." Shi Mu said calmly.
"Miss Leng, how can you and Shitou become brothers? How can this work! Tell me, do you like my Shitou?" Cai'er saw Shi Mu's look of being indifferent and fanned the flames.
"Haha, this bird is really interesting. If you ask me this, of course I like him, but he doesn't like me, what can I do?" Leng Yuetong smiled generously.
Shi Mu had never been confessed like this before, and his dark face turned a little red. He grabbed Cai'er fiercely, flicked her on the head, and was about to leave.
"Brother Mu, don't be embarrassed. Little sister, I always tell you what I have to say. If you like her, you just like her. There is no need to be shy!" Leng Yuetong looked at Shi Mu with her almond-shaped eyes, still smiling.
Shi Mu was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.
"My little sister felt friendly as soon as she saw Brother Mu. Brother Mu must be a mixed race. I feel that you have an aura similar to mine." Leng Yuetong said bluntly.
When Shi Mu heard this, he was slightly startled. A figure immediately flashed in his mind, it was Feng Li!
In Dongzhou Continent, it is very rare for humans and barbarians to be of mixed blood. If a mixed-race child is known to others, there will be no place for the human and barbarian races. But Leng Yuetong was so bold that he told Shi Mu such a secret in public.
"What? Miss Leng, are you a mixed race?" Cai'er asked in surprise.
"What's the matter? You're so rare and weird in our Xihe continent? Barbarian tribes and human tribes began to intermarry a hundred years ago, and the children they have are recognized. What's more, isn't your family's stone the same?" Leng Yuetong said disapprovingly.
"Tsk, it turns out you are not a barbarian, then why are you dressed like this?" Cai'er said casually
"Why am I not a barbarian? Not only am I a barbarian, I am also a human. It's just that I prefer barbarian dress. Don't you think it's easier to associate with barbarians?" Leng Yuetong said.
"I'm afraid Miss Leng is mistaken. Mu is indeed a barbarian. You and I are not on the same side, so we should go our separate ways." Shi Mu said, grabbing Cai'er and turning around to leave, regardless of Cai'er's yelling.
.
"Interesting!" Leng Yuetong muttered to herself as she looked at Shi Mu's retreating back.
