No hope for eternal life

Chapter 188 Taking the initiative

"Zheng!" Mu Changsheng punched the sword body of the flying sword. Feeling the tremendous power coming from the sword body, Mu Changsheng's face changed slightly. The power of this flying sword was not inferior to the previous one at all.

In other words, Zhuang Beihai can control two flying swords at the same time and keep the attack power of the two flying swords as strong as ever. This is a method that Zhuang Beihai has never shown before.

At the same time, the flying sword that was knocked away by Mu Changsheng also flew back, and the two flying swords attacked Mu Changsheng from the front and the back.

At this time, Mu Changsheng was besieged by flying swords and had no time to activate the Wuliang Talisman. The several Wuliang water monsters on the field were quickly dealt with by Zhuang Beihai.

On the other side, after dealing with the water monster, Zhuang Beihai, who had his hands free, was not idle either. Sword Qi kept shooting out from his fingertips, and he besieged Mu Changsheng together with two flying swords.

In just a few breaths, the offensive and defensive positions between Mu Changsheng and Zhuang Beihai were reversed.

Mu Changsheng felt helpless about this. Even if he had the Undead Talisman, he couldn't use it now. He could only passively take the beating and look for opportunities to see if Zhuang Beihai would reveal a flaw.

However, Zhuang Beihai's strength has long been obvious to all, so he naturally would not make some low-level mistakes and give Mu Changsheng a chance to catch his breath.

After two quarters of an hour, the effect of the alchemy talisman was slowly dissipating, Mu Changsheng's strength began to decline, and his defeat was inevitable.

"I give up." Mu Changsheng took the initiative to speak. There was no need to continue fighting.

Afterwards, not long after, Hu Pingzhi also had a contest with Zhuang Beihai.

Both of them were sword cultivators, and they were tit-for-tat and had a fierce fight. But in the end, Zhuang Beihai was better and won, taking the first place in this Jindan Realm Prodigy Conference in advance.

You know, Hutiandu had been helping Hu Pingzhi to keep his trump cards, and Mu Changsheng and others helped Hu Pingzhi to find out Zhuang Beihai's trump cards in advance. It is really admirable that Zhuang Beihai was able to win under such circumstances, and he also defended his identity as a disciple of Lingshan Sect.

Even Mu Changsheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The disciples of Lingshan Sect are indeed worthy of their reputation."

Lingshan Sect and Tianling Sect only recruit cultivators with a cultivation base above the Jindan Realm, so what Zhuang Beihai said before that he was the weakest one in the sect was very likely true. However, it is hard not to admire such a weakest disciple for him to dominate the entire gathering.

Through Zhuang Beihai, Mu Changsheng inevitably became more interested in Lingshan Sect, because according to the rules of Lingshan Sect for recruiting disciples, he was also qualified to take part in the entrance examination of Lingshan Sect. However, when he thought of the legendary mortality rate of Lingshan Sect's entrance examination as high as 50%, Mu Changsheng felt a little hesitant.

This is different from the Six Nations Trial. The Six Nations Trial only says that there is a risk of life, but there is no specific standard. The 50% mortality rate of the Lingshan Sect's entrance examination has been statistically calculated over many years without any water. It can be said that it is one step to heaven and one step to hell.

Fifty percent is just the mortality rate. Even if you can survive the entry test, you may still be eliminated. The overall elimination rate is as high as 99%!

In addition, every cultivator has only one chance in his lifetime to take part in the entrance examination of Lingshan Sect or Tianling Sect. Once he fails, he is doomed to have no chance to join the two sects.

Just when Mu Changsheng was struggling over whether or not he should consider attempting the Lingshan Sect entrance examination, it was his turn to compete with Hu Pingzhi.

When Mu Changsheng came on the court, he had to focus his attention on Hu Pingzhi. He had already seen Hu Pingzhi's full strength in the competition between Hu Pingzhi and Zhuang Beihai.

Mu Changsheng asked himself if he still had a good chance of winning, but he was already firmly in the top three, and there was no point or benefit in competing with Hu Pingzhi for the second place. Besides, Mu Changsheng had other concerns, so he decided to give the second place to Hu Pingzhi.

So, the time came to test his acting skills. Mu Changsheng used two elixir-summoning talismans right from the start, looking like he was going to fight with all his might.

Hu Pingzhi had no idea what Mu Changsheng was thinking at this time. Seeing Mu Changsheng's performance, he thought that the other party really wanted to have a bloody battle with him, so he hurriedly and carefully greeted him.

But Hu Pingzhi soon felt something was wrong. Although Mu Changsheng was using fist prints and palm prints, it gave him a feeling of much ado about nothing. Even the monster talismans he had been using before were not used at all.

Hu Tiandu, who was acting as the referee, also noticed something was wrong and touched his chin unconsciously. After all, he was an old and experienced man and quickly understood Mu Changsheng's idea. He thought to himself, "Although this kid ruined our plans during the Six Nations Trial, he still has some self-awareness and knows how to do us a favor at this time."

At the same time, Mu Changsheng quickly realized that his acting skills were a bit exaggerated. If he continued like this, everyone would be able to tell that he was acting, so he quickly threw out three monster talismans to attack Hu Pingzhi.

After the three monster talismans became ineffective, Mu Changsheng threw out two more monster talismans.

Finally, when the validity period of the two monster talismans expired, the validity period of the two pill-summing talismans that Mu Changsheng used at the beginning also expired.

"You got it easy. If I hadn't run out of my Wuling Talisman, I would have taught you a lesson." Mu Changsheng said with hatred, and then chose to admit defeat.

Hu Pingzhi had a strange look on his face. If it wasn't the wrong occasion, he really wanted to ask Mu Changsheng if he looked down on him. Do I need you to go easy on me?

Although the competition has not yet ended, the top few places have already been determined in advance.

After a few hours, the competition was over, and the Heaven Guardian announced the rankings immediately:

First place: Zhuang Beihai.

Second place: Hu Pingzhi.

Third place: Mu Changsheng.

Fourth place: Muxun.

Fifth place: Protect all stars.

Sixth place: Ji Leyao.

Seventh place: An Xiangnan.

……

Afterwards, Guardian Heaven said, "Although the last round of competition is over, this Tianjiao Conference has not yet come to an end. His Majesty the Lord has prepared a banquet in the palace to entertain you and the top 20 of the Yuanying Realm and Huashen Realm Tianjiao Conference. As for your ranking rewards, they will be distributed at the banquet. I also implore you to think carefully during this period of time whether you want to stay in our Shenhu Kingdom."

After that, Hu Tiandu was about to lead everyone to the palace, but Mu Changsheng stepped forward first, bowed to Hu Tiandu and said: "Excuse me, senior, I have a favor to ask."

Seeing this, Hu Tiandu raised his eyebrows, not knowing what Mu Changsheng was going to do, so he asked: "What do you want?"

"I am willing to give up all rewards and stay in the Shenhu Kingdom to serve as an official, just in exchange for an opportunity." Mu Changsheng said respectfully.

Hu Tiandu's eyes narrowed. He could tell that Mu Changsheng was willing to surrender, but he was more concerned about another question: "What opportunity do you want to exchange for?"

Mu Changsheng raised his head slightly and said firmly: "I want to exchange for the opportunity for my elder Yang Wuque to enter the Shenhu Kingdom Sutra Library to read the secret arts at will. Of course, I don't need to read all the secret arts, I just need to read the first four levels of the secret arts. Because my elder was seriously injured, he must learn from various secret arts and create a healing secret art to have a chance to recover from his injuries."

This was also the reason why Mu Changsheng took the initiative to give way to Hu Pingzhi before. He wanted to leave a good impression on Hu Tiandu and others. Yang Wuque treated him with great kindness, and he wanted to repay him in return.

When Hu Tian heard Mu Changsheng's request, he first glared at him, then decisively refused and said: "This is impossible."
