First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 75: Finals

The conversation above the clouds was unknown to the new disciples who were participating in the competition below.

But at this moment, the competition among the new disciples had entered a new round.

The six winners of this round, along with Shen Mo who received a bye, drew lots again to choose their opponents.

This time, Shen Mo finally did not draw a bye.

The last bye was taken by Lu Xu.

This means that Lu Xu can advance to the top four without participating in this match.

This did not cause much controversy or envy.

After all, Lu Xu was already a hot favorite in the competition, and everyone knew that his strength was fully deserving.

Instead, it was Shen Mo who had drawn a bye twice before, which caused some dissatisfaction among the others.

At this moment, seeing that he had an opponent, everyone couldn't help but want to see if this lucky guy could stand firm in this round of the competition or be taken away by his opponent.

"This guy's luck has run out!"

"Drawing a bye twice, he's really lucky. I think his strength is at most in the top fifty. If it weren't for the two byes, he wouldn't have been able to make it into the top ten."

"It depends on whether he has self-awareness. If he immediately forfeits, maybe he can avoid some trouble. If he insists on being strong..."

The last sentence was not fully spoken, but the meaning was already clear.

The majority of the spectators did not have high expectations for Shen Mo.

But amidst the public opinion, it was not all mockery and ridicule.

"I think this person has a bit of an extraordinary aura. Maybe he does have real skills."

"If this person is really a dark horse, then it will be exciting."

"We'll find out soon enough."

Shen Mo ignored the comments of others and saw his own jade lot activated.

[Yang Qingshan]

Looking at this name, Shen Mo sensed it slightly and his gaze fell on a disciple with a wax-yellow complexion.

Feeling Shen Mo's gaze, Yang Qingshan's face lit up.

Obviously, compared to the others, he believed that drawing Shen Mo as his opponent was the best result.

"Come on."

Suddenly leaping onto the martial stage, Yang Qingshan shouted, and his whole robe exploded, revealing his incredibly strong and robust physique.

"Let's have a match, what's with the exploding clothes?"

Seeing this scene, Shen Mo couldn't help but laugh and cry.

He could tell that this person was also a well-trained cultivator.

It wasn't surprising.

After all, the strength of the physical body was still important from the Body Tempering stage to the Qi Gathering stage.

Many cultivators who were able to crush cultivators of the same level had stronger physical bodies than others.

But compared to other disciples who focused on physical training, Yang Qingshan's physique was obviously stronger and had been tempered to perfection.

Far surpassing those who only trained superficially.

Shen Mo guessed right.

This Yang Qingshan did not have any special proficient immortal techniques or high-level magic treasures to protect himself.

He was able to make it into the top ten solely relying on his cultivation of the "Bronze Muscle Iron Bone Technique" to its peak.

This physical cultivation technique was only a basic technique and did not fall into the category of immortal techniques.

But after he cultivated it to perfection, it still had a considerable amplification effect.

Allowing him to pass through all obstacles.

"Haha!"

When Shen Mo stepped onto the martial stage, Yang Qingshan, who had already been ready, charged straight towards him.

With a long roar, Yang Qingshan's feet generated wind, carrying endless waves of qi, turning himself into an indestructible mountain, charging across.

"Step!"

Shen Mo activated the "Thunderous Steps" technique, his figure flying out with afterimages.

Facing the charging Yang Qingshan, he did not avoid him at all.

With an extremely arrogant attitude, they collided head-on.

"A mantis trying to stop a chariot, how laughable and self-deluded."

"Yang Qingshan's physique has already reached its peak, his whole body is like cast iron, how can he be clashed with head-on?"

Countless eyes converged on the two of them.

When they saw that Shen Mo didn't dodge, the few spectators who had some expectations for him were completely disappointed.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, a figure on the martial arts stage was instantly sent flying.

In the end, it crashed heavily into the jade wall of the Yuxu stage, blood splattering.

"How is this possible?"

When everyone saw clearly who the owner of that figure was, they all gasped in shock.

The one who was sent flying was none other than the steel-bodied Yang Qingshan.

With Yang Qingshan's physique reaching such a level, the force of this collision was probably over ten thousand jin.

Even a small mountain would be shattered by the impact, so how could this guy be defeated instead?

"Cultivation is quite diligent, but unfortunately the technique is too poor, the limit is ultimately not high."

Shen Mo stood proudly on the martial arts stage, surveying the crowd, taking in their expressions.

The body cultivation technique that Yang Qingshan practiced was clearly inferior to his own "Blood Slaughter Dragon Elephant Body".

Even if Shen Mo had only completed the first layer of the body technique, the strength and power increase of his physique far exceeded Yang Qingshan's perfect realm.

This result was not unexpected.

After Shen Mo defeated Yang Qingshan, the results of the other two matches also came out one after another.

Lu Ming, naturally, unquestionably entered the top four.

In addition to him, there was also a guy named Qian Sun, who used a Profound Grade medium-grade artifact called the "Heavenly Silk of the Universe" to defeat his opponent and win this match.

Thus, the top four list was determined.

Shen Mo, Lu Ming, Qian Sun, and Lu Xu, who advanced automatically due to a bye.

The four of them would have the final two matches.

The winner would be the champion of this rookie competition.

"Shen Mo actually made it to the top four."

Cao Ren watched all this from a distance, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

He was somewhat happy for his friend, but also felt a strange sense of unfamiliarity.

After all, Shen Mo had never shown this kind of transcendence and strength in front of him before.

In Cao Ren's impression, Shen Mo had always been an average talent, struggling on the path of cultivation as a transparent disciple of the sect who had been stuck in the Body Tempering stage for many years.

Not to mention him, even Chen An, who knew that Shen Mo had opened three dantians and had some expectations, was still somewhat shocked to see him reach this point.

"This brat is really impressive."

"When I entered the inner sect back then, I didn't have such a glorious moment, to be precise, I didn't even dare to think about it."

In front of the Yuxu stage, Elder Chu Chen announced the top four list and began the final draw.

"Put away your jade slips and check your opponents."

With Elder Chu Chen's voice falling, the four jade slips turned into streams of light and flew to Shen Mo and the others.

【Lu Xu】

After grabbing the jade slip, Shen Mo quickly discovered his opponent for the final match.

Similarly, Lu Xu also quickly sensed Shen Mo's name.

"I'll be in your care."

Lu Xu's face became serious as he slowly walked onto the martial arts stage.

He naturally wouldn't underestimate Shen Mo.

If in the previous two byes, there were still people questioning whether Shen Mo made it to the finals by luck.

Then the scene where Shen Mo clashed head-on and defeated Yang Qingshan in an extremely wild manner completely erased those doubts.

The top four of the rookie competition were all the top elites among the newly recruited disciples.
