Soon, Qing Changtian, Chi Yanzi, Zi Ling, Lu Jing, Jiang Shuishui, Ma Long and others also learned the news that Shi Mu was going to challenge the magic path, and naturally their reactions were different.
Some people were very happy and hoped that Shi Mu would die in the magic path, while others were worried about Shi Mu. Naturally, some people were indifferent and didn't take it seriously.
After Ma Long, Qing Changtian and other people who had good relations with Shi Mu learned the news, they all visited Shi Mu's cave and even persuaded him to give up the challenge.
Naturally, Shi Mu would not change his mind. After trying to persuade these people to no avail, they had no choice but to leave.
Zi Ling suddenly visited on the last day of the three days. After meeting Shi Mu, she did not persuade Shi Mu to give up. Instead, she chatted with Shi Mu in a nonchalant manner, which made Shi Mu take the first step.
The idea of also challenging the Phantom Demonic Way left Shi Mu speechless.
Amid the heated discussions, the three days passed quickly.
In Xuanling Tower, somewhere on a huge square.
In the center of the square was a black arena. When Shi Mu arrived, thousands of people had gathered around it.
At first glance, there were a lot of people, and the scene was nothing compared to the big competition. Everyone was whispering and talking, and it seemed extremely lively.
It's no wonder. Firstly, everyone doesn't have to participate in the battle themselves. They just watch the excitement, which naturally makes them more relaxed. Secondly, those who take action today are all high-ranking disciples. In any case, they can gain a lot of experience and add weight for the subsequent competition.
As a result, it naturally attracted many interested people to come here.
Shi Mu's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone craned their necks to look over.
Since he has kept a low profile since joining the Holy Land, he did not attract much attention during the competition, and his image is quite mysterious.
Shi Mu has been keeping the cave closed for the past few days. Except for a few acquaintances, no other visitors have been seen. Naturally, everyone is extremely curious and want to see who Shi Mu is and how he dares to challenge the top three disciples in one go.
Shi Mu turned a blind eye to the gazes around him, and with a few flashes of his body, he landed on the ring in the middle.
On the stage, there stood an old man in the late stage of heaven who was born with one horn and looked like he should be a demon clan.
"Are you Shi Mu?" The one-horned old man looked Shi Mu up and down, with a kind smile on his face.
"Yes, the disciple is Shi Mu." Shi Mu said calmly.
"Okay, your xinxing is pretty good. Now that you've reached this point, I won't say anything to you. I guess you already know the prerequisites for entering the path of fantasy and magic, right?" asked the one-horned old man.
"Disciple understands." Shi Mu said.
"That's good. Come up, all of you!" the one-horned old man said, waving with one hand.
Suddenly three figures flashed out from nowhere and landed on the ring. Long Zhanye, Ling Feng and Yunyi appeared.
Long Zhanye stands in the middle, with Ling Feng and Yunyi standing on the left and right.
As soon as the three people appeared, they immediately caused a heated discussion among the surrounding disciples. The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became lively. The eyes that were originally looking at Shi Mu also turned to the three people.
The three of them are all famous figures who have been at the top of the Hundred Years Disciple Qinglan Ranking for more than three years. They each have many fans, and everyone is cheering for them at this moment.
Long Zhanye and Yunyi were not familiar with Shi Mu. As soon as they came on stage, they looked over curiously and looked at Shi Mu unabashedly.
Ling Feng glanced at Shi Mu with a calm expression and a smile.
Shi Mu glanced at him, nodded to Ling Feng as a greeting, and then withdrew his gaze.
"Quiet! Shi Mu, a century-old disciple, applied to challenge the Phantom Demonic Path. According to the sect rules, he must defeat the top three disciples on the Qinglan Ranking before he can qualify for entry. I, Jin Tao, have been ordered to host this competition." The one-horned old man said to the people nearby.
Everyone raised their voices and announced.
As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet.
"The competition will be held in three days. The first one will be held today. Shi Mu and Yunyi will stay. Long Zhanye and Ling Feng, please leave the ring for the time being." Jin Tao said.
"I hope to see you standing here again in two days!"
After Long Zhanye said this to Shi Mu, his body swayed and turned into a golden light, flew down the ring and landed nearby.
Ling Feng nodded towards Shi Mu and flew away.
"The competition begins!"
Jin Tao shouted loudly and waved his hand to create a ray of light, and a cyan light curtain suddenly lit up near the arena, wrapping the arena.
Shi Mu took a deep breath and looked at Yunyi not far away.
Yunyi also looked over at this moment, and the two looked at each other, neither of them seemed to have any intention of taking action immediately.
"Are you Shi Mu? You haven't even reached the realm of heaven, and you want to challenge the magic path. You really don't know how to live or die." Yunyi said coldly.
"Shi has his own plan, so don't worry, Senior Brother Yun," Shi Mu said.
"Hmph! I don't know what to do, but if you want to challenge the Phantom Demonic Way, you should pass me first!" Yunyi's face turned cold and he took action directly.
His figure flashed and turned into several purple afterimages on the field, heading straight for Shi Mu.
"What a fast speed!" Shi Mu's heart trembled. This Yunyi's speed was much faster than anyone he had ever seen.
Whoosh!
Shi Mu's body glowed with red light, and a pair of red fire wings mixed with white light appeared behind him. His body swayed, and he also turned into a red afterimage and disappeared from the place.
Two afterimages, one red and one purple, chased each other faster and faster.
Everyone under the ring was dazzled. Not to mention the movements of the two men, even the afterimages gradually blurred at this moment, and they suddenly let out a burst of exclamation cheers.
Qing Changtian had a complicated expression on his face. He had always prided himself on his speed, but none of the two people on the stage seemed to be inferior to him. He was even better than him.
"Not bad, you can actually keep up with my speed! You have some skills!" The purple afterimage stopped instantly, and Yunying's figure appeared.
"You're not bad either." A red shadow flashed, and Shi Mu's figure emerged.
"Young man is arrogant!"
Yunyi's face turned cold, purple light flashed in his hand, and a purple feather fan appeared.
This fan is made of the feathers of an unknown monster. There are nine feathers in total. Countless runes are engraved on them, emitting astonishing aura.
The power of this fan has surpassed the category of a spiritual weapon, and it is like an extremely powerful magic weapon.
"Yuan Gang Fan! Yunyi's favorite magic weapon!"
Under the ring, someone exclaimed.
Shi Mu's face showed a trace of solemnity, and he didn't know when he had grasped the Ruyi iron rod tightly in his hand.
"Don't think that you can compete with me with just a little bit of speed, just take a Yuangang Heavenly Wind strike from me!"
Yunyi shouted loudly, and the purple treasure fan in his hand shone brightly, with nine feathers spread out, and he suddenly fanned down towards Shi Mu.
"Woo"
A thick purple tornado erupted from the tip of the fan. The tornado turned out to be a crystal-clear mottled color, streaking across the void and making an eardrum-trembling whine.
Due to the extremely fast speed of the purple tornado, many people around seemed to have just seen it hit out from the treasure fan in Yunyi's hand a moment ago, and in the blink of an eye it arrived not far from Shi Mu.
Shi Mu's face was startled, and he waved his arms, and the Ruyi iron rod in his hand immediately set off a wave of white air.
"The spiritual snake comes out of the cave!"
He shouted loudly and stirred the Ruyi stick forward in his hand. The white air wave in front of him suddenly rolled with the long stick, grew rapidly, and in the blink of an eye turned into a huge white wind column, rushing towards him.
The two wind pillars crossed and collided together.
A "bang" sound!
The white wind pillar struck by Shi Mu collapsed and was no match for Yunyi's Yuangang Tianfeng.
The purple tornado column was like a huge purple python, and it hit Shi Mu hard, sending him flying out and hitting the cyan light curtain around the ring.
But at this moment, Shi Mu's body was covered in golden scales for some time, and he didn't seem to be injured.
The sound of breaking through the air was heard, and the purple wind pillar continued to pursue, seemingly relentlessly.
Shi Mu's eyes turned cold, and the black light from the Ruyi iron rod in his hand flashed across it suddenly.
"Total Annihilation!"
A thick black rod shadow hit the weak spot on the purple wind pillar, as if it hit a snake seven inches.
"boom"
The purple wind pillar suddenly shattered and exploded into a strong wind.
Shi Mu suddenly stepped on the ring, and with a "click", cracks appeared in the restrained and reinforced ring.
With the power of this step, his body was like a meteorite, flying towards Yunyi. He almost teleported to Yunyi, held the stick in both hands, and struck down suddenly!
"Goshawk cap!"
A dazzling black light burst out from the Ruyi Iron Rod, and ripples appeared in the void wherever it passed.
Before the shadow of the stick arrives, a terrifying pressure has already come!
Yunyi was preparing the second attack of Yuangang Tianfeng. At this moment, his face changed drastically and he didn't care to attack again. The Yuangang fan in his hand emitted a large purple light and turned into a fan-shaped shield in a flash, blocking it in front of him.
Boom!
The long black stick struck hard on the Yuangang Fan, and endless black and purple light exploded, setting off strong winds that swept in all directions, and a large pit was blasted out on the ground of the arena below.
The cyan light curtain nearby shook violently and was almost about to shatter.
In mid-air, the face of the one-horned old man changed and he waved his hand.
A ball of green light flew out of his hand, seemingly a token, and merged into the cyan light curtain, which immediately stabilized.
Not only that, a layer of green light also appeared on the ground of the arena.
Near the arena, everyone was stunned.
At this moment, the attack power of the two people on the stage was too terrifying. After just two fights, they created such a huge momentum that the stage was almost destroyed.
This also made many people around the ring have a new understanding of the strength of Shi Mu, a new disciple. Many people who originally looked down on Shi Mu closed their mouths and were speechless at this moment.
Qing Changtian, Chi Yangzi and others looked a little complicated at this moment. They were once the same group of people who worshiped Qinglan Holy Land as Shi Mu, and their strength was almost the same.
However, the once high-spirited people suffered a huge blow nine years ago. The strength Shi Mu showed now was far beyond what they could compare with.
On the other hand, Zi Ling watched with great interest, and even waved her little hands and clapped her hands from time to time.
