Chapter 381: The End Of Second Round (1/2)

The people in the audience had underestimated Lin Mu at the start and even after finding out ht at he was representing Wu Hei they hadn't thought much of him. But now the overwhelming manner in which he had defeated his opponent made them think thrice about him.

Lin Mu looked at his opponent who was now lying unconscious on the ground and he wondered if he used too much strength by accident. Lin Mu was still learning to control his strength well and thus needed more time. But thankfully after the healers came and helped Pigu Shan, he turned out to be okay.

Lin Mu walked down from the ring and towards the seating area. The people watched him closely and could not take their eyes off him. Especially the ones from the cultivation sects. They were looking at him as if he were some prize that they needed to get.

Since Lin Mu had represented Wu Hei and was also an aristocrat in their eyes, they thought that they had the chance of recruiting him. For them, he was a potential future powerhouse, that if they obtained would increase the status of their sect.

”Nicely done, brother Mu Lin!” Wu Hei praised.

”Indeed, Lord Mu Lin is impressive with his skills.” Zhen Sui added.

”HAAHAH! Brother Mu Lin is a true man who fights with his all! But even that isn't enough for a good fight if your opponent is a weak chicken.” Wu Teng said in his boisterous voice that spread all around the seats.

The people that came with Pigu Shan looked at them but didn't show any wronged expression or anything. Rather, they just had wry smiles on their face as they could only sigh. But the other aristocrats seemed to be a bit agitated and were whispering amongst themselves.

Enlai Lan was doing the same and was talking with his subordinates. The only person that seemed to be the least bothered was Qing Yuan Tiu, who was simply sitting on her seat with her eyes closed in meditation. Lin Mu didn't know if she had seen him fight or not, but then pushed that to the back of his mind.

Finally, the referee began his next selection and pulled out the stick. The contestants fought and soon it was the time for the last match. Qing Yuan Tiu had still not been selected, so people were wondering if they would get to see more of her again.

”The next contestants are Pidao Wuyun and Tianjin Shu!” The referee declared.

”Oh seems like Qing Yuan Tiu gets the free pass in this round.”

”Yeah, still at least we know she's good enough and it wouldn't have mattered even if she fought.” One of the sect personnel said.

Lin Mu was also a bit disappointed as he wanted to see more of her moves but was now unable to. Soon the fight between Pidao Wuyun and Tianjin Shu started and people watched it. These two were some external cultivators that the aristocrats had hired and their strength was above average.

Lin Mu sensed their spirit qi fluctuations and found them to be at the late stage of the qi refining realm.
