Five hundred and twentieth eight chapters pretending
"Haha, Miss Zi is too flattering to Shi. I just ask not to be pulled out of the top fifty by others." Shi Mu said.
Hearing this, Zi Ling smiled slightly and said nothing more.
At this moment, a rumble suddenly sounded in the sky, and dozens of bright lights suddenly flew from a distance and landed on the blue stone platform.
The light faded away, and those who appeared on the stage were the three guardians who appeared before, but beside the three of them, there were two more people.
Then, the red-browed young man came to the stage again, glanced around the ring, and said loudly:
"The time for the third round of qualifying has arrived, all top disciples will take the stage immediately!"
As he said that, a cyan light curtain suddenly lit up on the left side of the arena, separating an open area.
"Cai'er, I'll continue to take care of you." Shi Mu heard the sound and said to Ma Long.
"Brother Shi, just feel free to compete, leave the rest to me." Ma Long nodded and whispered.
Cai'er didn't hesitate this time, so she flew up from Shi Mu's shoulder and landed on Ma Long's shoulder.
Shi Mu and Zi Ling looked at each other, then they jumped up together and followed the others to the left area of the ring.
Beside him, figures one after another fell down one after another, arranged side by side from left to right according to the order of ranking.
Shi Mu stood in the thirty-seventh position. On his left was a sturdy man from the crocodile tail demon clan, and on his right was a voluptuous red-haired and red-skinned woman.
"I won't go into details about the rules of this round of competition. You only have one chance, please make your own decision! Finally, I would like to remind you that the same person can accept up to three non-consecutive challenges. Do you understand this?" the red-browed young man asked loudly.
"Yes!" everyone replied in unison.
"Okay, now I announce that the ranking challenge has officially begun." The red-browed young man announced.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of chaos on the right side of the queue of senior disciples.
Completely opposite to the silent scene at the beginning of the second round of competition, at this time there were actually several figures vying to step out of the queue first.
"Disciple Chen Zemu, ranked sixty-ninth, would like to ask Junior Brother Shi, who is ranked thirty-seven, for advice." A young man with a slender body and skin covered with wood grains quickly stepped out of the queue.
He raised his hands to the red-browed young man and said.
As soon as these words came out, the people who were out in line with him had a look of annoyance on their faces, sighed a few times, and stepped back one after another.
"It's begun! It's begun!"
As soon as someone issued a challenge on the stage, Duan Muguang immediately opened the gambling table at the gambling table not far from the stage, and people surrounded him with a "hoo!"
Under the gaze of everyone, Shi Mu walked to the center of the ring and stood opposite the old disciple named Chen Zemu.
His eyes narrowed slightly, he looked up and down at the person in front of him, and then the corners of his mouth curved slightly.
In front of the gambling table, Ma Long withdrew his eyes from the ring and turned to the gambling table.
"Hurry up and place your bets. Chen Zemu will play against Shi Mu. Chen Zemu will pay one for three, and Shi Mu will pay four for one! If you buy, you will leave, if you buy, you will leave!" Duanmu Guang shouted loudly.
"I buy Chen Zemu Sheng..."
"I am escorting Chen Zemu..."
"I also buy Chen Zemu Sheng..."
At the gambling table, the gamblers almost unanimously chose to buy Chen Zemu to win.
Everyone witnessed the competition three days ago. Liao Yong obviously underestimated his opponent, so he accidentally lost to Shi Mu. Shi Mu not only tried his best, but also paid a high price for it.
I'm afraid that after these three days, I may not be able to fully recover, and my strength will definitely be greatly reduced.
Of course, there are also a few people who want to use their small skills to make a big difference. Apart from throwing in a few top-quality spiritual stones, there are almost no people who believe that Shi Mu can win.
"I bet on Shi Mu to win!" At this moment, Ma Long's voice suddenly sounded.
After saying that, he placed a large bag of top-quality spiritual stones on the gambling table.
His voice was not loud, even a little timid, but it surprised many people around him.
A middle-aged disciple with a mean appearance saw Ma Long's good looks and thought that he didn't understand gambling, so he reminded him:
"Girl, don't bet on Shi Mu because of his high odds. Although he was lucky enough to defeat Liao Yong a few days ago, he is still a new disciple after all and cannot compare to these old disciples who have been practicing in the Holy Land for many years.
.As for the chances of winning, he really doesn’t have much of a chance.”
After hearing this, Ma Long frowned and thought for a while, then stretched out his hand towards the gambling table and threw out a small bag of top-quality spiritual stones.
"These are also bets on Shi Mu's victory." Ma Long said, this time, his voice raised a bit, as if he mustered up the courage to give it a try.
The big bag of spiritual stones before was Shi Mu's 360 top-grade spiritual stones, but now this small bag of spiritual stones was Ma Long's entire savings, 240 top-grade spiritual stones, all of which were carried by her at this moment.
"Okay, buy and leave. The battle has begun, stop betting, stop betting!" Duanmu Guang glanced at Ma Long with a smile, then looked away and shouted.
The wretched middle-aged disciple looked at Ma Long as if he were an idiot, but the latter ignored him at all and instead turned his attention to the ring.
"Shi Mu, Blue Sea Star people, human race." Shi Mu said.
"Chen Zemu, Mu Qixing, Qingmu Demon Clan." Chen Zemu replied.
Shi Mu stretched one hand forward in a gesture of invitation.
When Chen Zemu saw this, his face was solemn, and he did not dare to underestimate the enemy at all.
But when he saw his hands clasped together in front of him, a green light suddenly shone on his body, and a huge green tree with a height of ten feet rose up from the ground and appeared behind him.
He waved his hand with one hand, and dozens of green vines hanging from the giant tree rose high under the green light, and then shot straight towards Shi Mu like a row of javelins.
The speed is amazing!
The sound breaks through the sky!
When Shi Mu saw this, he tapped lightly with his toes, and his whole body immediately flew backwards.
A series of "bang bang" sounds!
A burst of smoke and dust rose up from the place where he had just stood, and dozens of green vines had already penetrated into the ground of the stone platform.
Shi Mu turned over and fell down, and he didn't know when he had the Ruyi iron rod tightly in his hand.
When Chen Zemu saw this, he raised both hands at the same time, and then swung down violently.
A green light shone on the giant tree, and hundreds of vines as thick as an arm's length on its main trunk stood up into the sky like a mess of hair, and then suddenly shot towards Shi Mu.
Shi Mu's steps kept changing, dodging those vines one after another, but those vines were chasing after him like tarsal maggots.
"Bang bang bang bang bang..."
A series of sharp sounds sounded, and the vines chasing behind Shi Mu were nailed into the stone platform one by one. In a moment, a vine cage was formed on the stone platform, making its range of movement smaller and smaller.
, almost trapped in an area of less than three feet.
"Junior Brother Shi, don't waste your efforts, you can't escape from my green wood vine cage!" Chen Zemu said confidently with a flash of his eyes.
"Sorry, I don't have anything else, it's just a bit of brute force." Shi Mu said.
After saying that, he swung his long stick and suddenly hit the ivy.
"Bang!"
The long stick hit straight up, and Shi Mu felt his arm go numb, but he saw that there was only a crack on the ivy, but it was not completely broken.
"Since you are so stubborn, then accept the move!" Chen Zemu shouted.
The blue light on his body became brighter, and the wooden texture on his skin became clearer. On the giant tree, there were dozens of vines entangled with each other, turning into an extremely thick vine spear, with a green surface.
The light flows and looks terrifying.
Chen Zemu held one hand in front of his chest, and the thick vine spear snaked up like a swimming dragon. In an instant, it reached the top of the cage, with its tip pointed downwards hanging above Shi Mu's head.
When Shi Mu saw this, he was not afraid at all. He just put the Ruyi iron rod in front of him and started rotating it left and right.
"Junior Brother Shi, this shot of mine has the power to collapse rocks and open mountains. Let me ask you again, are you sure you won't admit defeat?" Chen Zemu felt that he had a chance to win. In order to show his magnanimity, he asked again.
Shi Mu did not answer, but concentrated on dancing the long stick in his hand.
"Huh...huh..."
Suddenly, bursts of roaring sounds were heard in the air. The sounds were like the roars of beasts, suppressed and hoarse.
As Shi Mu swung his stick faster, groups of white airflow visible to the naked eye condensed around him.
The shapes of the airflow looked like beasts lying low.
At this time, Chen Zemu also realized that something was wrong on Shi Mu's side, and he quickly hit the ground with his clenched fist.
Along with his movements, the thick vine spear that was hovering above Shi Mu's head just now also brought a violently rotating cyan airflow and smashed down towards Shi Mu!
At this moment, Shi Mu's eyes flashed, and he completely ignored the vine spear above his head, and smashed the stick in the direction of Chen Zemu like lightning.
"Tiger comes out!"
There was a loud noise of "Boom!"
Shi Mu's Ruyi iron rod hit the ground first, and countless smoke, dust and gravel rose up.
I saw the white air currents that had been suppressed by Shi Mu suddenly breaking free of their restraints, turning into white tigers and rhinoceroses, rushing towards Chen Zemu.
Because the tigers and rhinoceros formed by the white air flow were extremely fast and could pass through the gaps in the ivy cage in front of them, everyone below the ring saw a white torrent flash past from the stage and hit them directly.
Chen Zemu.
Chen Zemu was so shocked that he only had time to activate the giant tree to block him.
"boom!"
The giant green tree collapsed suddenly, and Chen Zemu's slender figure flew out from the tree like a kite with its string broken, and fell on the stone platform.
At the same time, the thick vine spear that was originally as powerful as a rainbow also collapsed with Chen Zemu's fall, less than three feet away from Shi Mu.
In mid-air, the red-browed young man who was the referee flashed a few times and landed next to Chen Zemu. After some inspection, he found that he had just fainted and his injuries were not too serious.
Shi Mu, on the other hand, suddenly put away the long black stick in his hand, turned it into a small toothpick, swallowed it in his mouth, then bent over and coughed heavily, looking as if his energy and physical strength were being exhausted, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
, walked slowly back to the queue of senior disciples.
If Cai'er were here at this moment, she would definitely laugh at Shi Mu's pretending to win with difficulty.
But to outsiders, it seemed that Shi Mu had tried his best just now to use the move Tiger Si Chu Chu, and when Chen Zemu relaxed his vigilance, he managed to defeat the opponent with a trick. Many people around the ring even shouted
