Chapter 95: The Green Willow Competition
In just three days, the atmosphere of the entire city of Mu was boiling. The eyes of the whole city were all focused on the large square in front of the city hall.
As a grand event in Mocheng every two years, all the powerful figures from various factions also attended. In front of the main stage on the large square, these big shots in the eyes of ordinary people in Mocheng chatted with each other, and the scene was extremely lively.
For the sake of interest, the struggle between various factions is quite fierce. Their conversation is only superficial, although they all have a smile on their face, but anyone can understand that this is just to cope with the situation.
The Mu family was the last to arrive, led by Cabinet Elder Mu Yuntang. The most open space in the middle of the main stage was also reserved for the Mu family.
The people of the Dai Mu clan arrived at the main stage, and the crowd on the stage all stood up. However, the horses near the central position of the main stage were clearly divided into three batches.
On the left side was a group of people, wearing black martial robes. On the chest of the robe were seven golden stars, and at a glance, they were from the Seven Stars Martial Arts Hall.
First and foremost, there was a middle-aged man with a radiant complexion and elegant demeanor, emitting an astonishing aura. This person was none other than Yu Gang, the master of the Seven Stars Martial Arts Hall, a peak-stage Grandmaster in the Realm of Form!
On the right side, a group of men in uniform green robes, all of whom were burly and robust, with a large blue wolf head tattooed on each of their exposed chests.
In front of these men, a middle-aged man with a tiger's back and bear's waist, thick eyebrows and big eyes, had also reached the peak of the Form Creation Realm, the Great Perfection. He was Song Xiu, the leader of the Qing Lang Gang. Behind him, Mu Feng saw two familiar figures: Song Ping and Peng Ming.
In the middle, there were only a few people, but each of them was wearing a white robe, and every one of them emitted a strong aura. On the white robe, an embroidery of a bright moon was embroidered, which was exactly the symbol of Mingyuetang.
First was a middle-aged man who looked very ordinary, but the gaze from his eyes was as sharp as an eagle's. It was Zheng Nan, the master of Mingyue Hall. He seemed to have a stronger presence than Song Xi and Yu Gang. Behind Zheng Nan, Mufeng also saw a familiar figure: Zheng Jian.
Zheng Nan, Song Xiu and Yu Gang saw Mu Yundang, clasped their fists and said: "Elder Mu."
To the ruler of Mocheng, they also dare not show any disrespect on the surface.
Mou Yuntang nodded and smiled: "Zheng Tangzhu, Song Bangzhu, Yu Guanzhu, it's been a long time."
After a brief conversation, Mu Yundang led the Mu family members to sit down one by one in the central position.
After sitting down, there were also many other small forces coming to greet him, and Mu Yundang was smiling and responding.
With the arrival of the Mu clan, all the major forces in Mocheng also arrived, and the scene became increasingly intense.
Around the large square, there are tens of thousands of stone seats. However, on these stone seats today, every seat is taken and a sea of black heads stretches all the way to the horizon. Such a lively atmosphere is worthy of being the most popular event in Mocheng.
Mo Feng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the dense crowd also startled him. This scene is not often seen, it's even bigger than the last auction scene.
In the center of the Grand Plaza, four huge arenas were set up. Each gate and sect in Mocheng would send their most outstanding young people to participate. The number of participants was also limited, with each gate and sect allowed to send no more than five people to compete.
The Qingying Competition, on the surface, is a competition among young people from various schools and factions, but in reality, it is an opportunity for each school and faction to show off their strength. For this reason, each school and faction also brings out some of their best moves, which will all be taken away by the champion.
In the past, these prizes would always fall into the hands of the Mu family clan, but last time Zheng Jian suddenly appeared out of nowhere and let Mingyuetang take away the championship. Although these prizes are insignificant to the Mu family clan, they are somewhat unacceptable on the face.
This time, the Mu family spent a lot of money and effort in order to regain the championship in this year's Qingying Competition.
The Qingying Competition is also particularly eye-catching because of this matter. After tea and dinner, people are mostly discussing who will be the champion of this Qingying Competition.
Although each door and faction can only send out five people at most, the Mochengmen faction has a large number of forces, so the number of participants is also hundreds.
If we talk about overall strength, every school and sect can't compare to the Mu family clan. However, if we talk about individual strength, everyone acknowledges that Zheng Jian of Mingyuetang is a notch stronger. At 18 years old, he has already stepped into the realm of creation with one foot, this kind of talent is even stronger than Mu Han Yu of the Mu family clan.
In the Qingying Competition, the use of spiritual treasures and elixirs is prohibited to prevent unfairness caused by the Mu Clan and Mingyuetang possessing powerful spiritual treasures and elixirs.
"First round match: Murong Clan's Murong Yun vs. Qixing Martial Arts Academy's Lü Qiāng, Luosha Gang's Zhōu Sēn vs..."
Lü Qiáng is a relatively satisfactory disciple of the Seven Stars Martial Hall, with a mid-term Great Perfection in the Huà Qì realm. However, when facing Mù Kūn, who has reached the peak of the Huà Qì realm and achieved Great Perfection, Lü Qiáng still falls short by quite a bit.
In the actual fight, the situation was as everyone had expected. The exchange of blows didn't last more than ten moves before Lü Qiáng admitted defeat. Facing Mù Kūn, who was at the peak of his Huanqi Realm's Great Perfection stage, he seemed somewhat powerless.
Facing defeat, Yu's elegant face didn't change in the slightest, as if the outcome had been within his expectations all along. Seeing the end of the match, he smiled faintly at Mu Yundang and said, "Congratulations, Elder Mu."
Getting the first win in the Qingying Competition, Mu Yundang's mood was also very good. He nodded and said, "Yu Gongzhu, I concede."
However, when Mu Feng appeared on stage, the crowd was filled with doubts. Why would the Mu clan send a young man who had only reached the middle of the Qi Refining stage to participate in the competition?
Mo Feng's opponent this time came from a small and unknown sect, with strength only in the middle of the Huaqi realm.
When the opponent saw his opponent, Mu Feng, who was only in the middle of the Qi Refining stage, a smile of relief appeared on his face, and he thought to himself: What good luck, I've encountered one of the few candidates whose cultivation is even lower than mine. It seems that passing the first round is possible.
But what happened next made him unable to laugh anymore, Mu Feng's fierce offensive and majestic Xuanli left him with no choice but to passively withstand the beating without any chance of counterattacking.
However, in order to avoid revealing his strength too early, Mu Feng deliberately prolonged the battle for over twenty moves before defeating his opponent, even though he could have won within a few moves.
Despite that, Mu Feng's performance also made everyone reveal a look of astonishment. After all, not every martial artist has the ability to challenge someone above their level.
Mu Han Yu, Mu Sheng and Mu Song also easily defeated their opponents in the first round and advanced to the next round.
This intense competition went on for a day, and 16 people emerged from hundreds of people to enter the final tomorrow.
The five young juniors of the Mu clan were among the sixteen, and the other four had real strength at the peak of the Huaqi realm. The crowd could accept it, but Mu Feng's cultivation was only in the middle of the Huaqi realm, yet he advanced to tomorrow's final, which really surprised everyone.
However, everyone attributed this to Mu Feng's good luck, because his opponent today had the strongest cultivation in the middle of the Qi Refining Realm.
This result also made every member of the Mu family's face filled with joyful smiles, and Mu Yuntang was even more radiant, with a spring breeze on his face.
