At this moment, the door of the private room was pushed open.

Shi Mu and the others turned their heads to look, and it was a blonde young man who happened to be someone they knew, but it was Jin Huan, one of the leaders of the Zun Ling Pavilion in the sect back then.

In this matter, his cultivation has made great progress compared to before, and the aura he exudes has faintly reached the appearance of the late stage of the day after tomorrow, and his face has a slightly arrogant expression.

"Senior Brother Jin is grateful to be able to appreciate the light here, please take a seat. Shiraishi stood up with some excitement and greeted him.

The others, including Lan Feng, all stood up one after another, with respectful expressions, and only Shi Mu was still sitting motionless on the chair.

"Senior Brother Bai is polite, you and I are both people from the Zunling Pavilion, this time you and Senior Brother Xiao can become B-level disciples and achieve a lot of rankings, I am also quite proud as the person who introduced you to join the Zunling Pavilion, so naturally I want to congratulate one or two. Jin Huan walked over with a smile.

"Senior Brother Jin has long been ranked in the top 50 of B-level disciples, and this time he has jumped to the sixteenth place, and next year's big competition, he will definitely be among the top ten!" Bai Shi said with a smile.

Jin Huan laughed, then turned his eyes and saw Shi Mu, who was still sitting, his face sank slightly.

"Hey, who is this junior brother, he looks a little untouched. Jin Huan said with some displeasure in his voice.

Shi Mu went to the border back then, although he came back a few times during the period, he did not have contact with Jin Huan again, and now his whole temperament and complexion have changed a lot, and Jin Huan didn't recognize it for a while.

"In Xia Shimu, it seems that Senior Brother Jin has forgotten a lot of things, and he has already forgotten about it. Shi Mu said with a smile.

When Jin Huan heard this, he was stunned and looked at Shi Mu carefully.

"It turned out to be Senior Brother Shi...... Hey, your cultivation is ......" Jin Huan's face changed suddenly.

With his strength in the late stage of the day after tomorrow, he couldn't even see Shi Mu's cultivation at all.

"I didn't think that I hadn't seen it in a few years, and Senior Brother Shi's cultivation had advanced greatly, and he had already stepped into the late-stage realm!" Jin Huan said solemnly, ignoring Bai Shi and the others.

Shi Mu smiled slightly, but did not admit it. There is no denial either.

Hearing this, Bai Shi and the others were taken aback and looked at Shi Mu in disbelief.

They originally thought that Shi Mu was only slightly higher than their cultivation, but they didn't expect that Shi Mu had officially entered the later stage. He has become the best of the acquired martial artists.

"Hehe, it turns out that Brother Shi is so deeply hidden, admire and admire. After a few breaths, Shiraishi was the first to react, and smiled a little reluctantly.

"Senior Brother Jin. You may be seated. Xiao Ming hurriedly arranged a seat for Jin Huan, and then pushed Shi Mu, who was originally sitting in the second seat, to Jin Huan's right side.

Shi Mu excused himself twice, but Xiao Ming and the others insisted again and again, so they had to sit down.

"I didn't expect Senior Brother Shi's strength to progress so quickly, could it be that he had an adventure in this barbarian war?" Jin Huan asked with a smile, his arrogant expression at the beginning disappeared without a trace, and there was a faint hint of goodwill.

Senior Brother Jin laughed, how could there be so many adventures, but it was easier to advance in the exercises that were cultivated. "Shi Mu naturally won't leak a single thing. Haha perfunctory.

Jin Huan's eyes fluctuated, and he naturally heard Shi Muyan's insincerity, but he didn't ask. He had already inquired that Shi Mu's cultivation was the easier to cultivate, but even if there was a steady supply of sufficient pills, it should not be possible to advance so quickly.

The people present, Bai Shi and Xiao Ming are both articulate people, and they do it intentionally, and the atmosphere quickly becomes lively.

It wasn't long before the door of the private room was pushed open again.

One looked to be twenty-five or sixteen years old, tall and thin. The young man with a grim expression walked in and swept his gaze towards the people in the room.

Everyone present, including Bai Shi and Xiao Ming, looked stunned, they didn't know the person who came, and they didn't invite this person to this party.

However, the momentum of the other party is subtle but not revealed. It's like a late acquirer.

"This senior brother, I'm waiting for a gathering here, I don't know ...... Your Excellency is coming" Bai Shi stood up first, bowed his hand slightly to the visitor, and asked in a rather polite tone.

"It turned out to be Brother Ye. Before Baishi could finish speaking, Jin Huan stood up. He smiled and said hello.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you, this is Senior Brother Ye Kun, who is the twelfth in the second grade of this big competition, but he is low-key, so you may not know him yet. Jin Huan introduced to Shi Mu and others.

Bai Shi and the others were shocked, and when they heard that the cold young man was ranked higher than Jin Huan, their eyes at this person suddenly changed a little.

"Brother Jin has an overreputation. ”

The cold young man looked unsmiling, nodded to Jin Huan, then looked away, fell on Shi Mu, and asked:

"I think this is Priest Shi's brother, right?"

"Yes, it is Shi Mu below, dare to ask Senior Brother Ye for any advice?" Shi Mu was a little strange, stood up and asked.

"I don't dare to give advice. I have come to deliver a decree on behalf of the head and the elders. The cold young man said, and took out a talisman from his bosom, on which were written lines of small characters.

"On the orders of the head of the sect, in view of the great achievements of the C-level disciple Shi Mu in the Barbarian War, he is allowed to challenge a B-level disciple at will before tomorrow's competition, and if he can win, he can take his place. The cold young man said clearly.

Because the news was too sudden, Shi Mu was slightly stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.

The others present were even more in an uproar, their eyes wandering between Shi Mu and the cold young man.

"Brother Priest Shi, the order of the head of the sect is aimed at this, you can think about it tonight, and you can give an answer tomorrow. If you don't plan to participate in the Tomorrow's Competition, you can also explain to the boss that you can't do so. The cold young man handed the talisman to Shi Mu and said.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Ye, for coming to tell me. Since the head of the sect and the elders are so loving, Shi naturally accepts it. Shi Mu waved his hand and grabbed the talisman in his hand, and arched his hand towards the other party.

"Okay, since Sect Brother Shi is interested in participating, let's think about the object of tomorrow's challenge tonight. The cold young man's indifferent eyes flashed, he nodded, and turned around to walk outside.

"Don't think about it, I'll challenge Senior Brother Duan Qianli, who is the first place in the second-grade disciples, tomorrow. Shi Mu said directly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked and looked at Shi Mu in amazement.

The cold young man was also taken aback, turned around, and glanced at Shi Mu deeply.

"Okay, Senior Brother Shi's words, I will convey it. With that, he turned and walked out.

"Senior Brother Shi, what are you ......" Jin Huan's expression was a little sluggish, looking at Shi Mu, he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Senior Brother Shi, although your strength has also reached the late stage, but today on the field, you have also seen the strength of Senior Brother Duan Qianli, his cultivation has been acquired to the Great Perfection, and his spells have also reached the spirit level, are you really sure?" asked Bai Shi.

"Yes, it's rare for the sect to give you such a good opportunity this time, it's better to challenge others to ensure that you can get a second-class ranking. Xiao Ming also persuaded.

"Thank you for your concern, I have made up my mind, let's have a drink first. Shi Mu smiled, his tone full of confidence.

When everyone saw this, they couldn't say anything more.

Jin Huan glanced at Shi Mu and stopped talking.

He was a little curious about what great achievements Shi Mu had made in the Barbarian War, and he was able to make the head of the sect and the elders not hesitate to break the convention of the Great Comparison for him.

......

The night went by in a blink of an eye.

Early the next morning, a huge arena was built on a square between the peaks of Black Demon Gate No. 5 and No. 6.

The size of the ring is nearly 100 zhang, and a huge pitch-black stone pillar stands at the four corners, and there are many rune patterns carved on the stone pillar, and there is a faint light emitting light.

Today is the last day of the big competition, and according to the usual practice, the top ten of the B-level disciples will challenge the ten A-level disciples, and each person will only have one chance.

If any B-level disciple succeeds in the first battle, he can take the opponent's position and advance to the ranks of the first-level true disciples, so that he can enjoy the best resources of the sect and be vigorously cultivated by the sect.

It's just that the strength of the first-level true disciple is extremely strong, and among the great competitions of the past dynasties, very few second-level disciples can really challenge and succeed, unless there is a first-level disciple who advances to the innate and becomes an elder of the sect and vacates the position.

In addition, after the challenge of the B-level disciples, the ten A-level disciples can also challenge each other, and the rules are the same, the winner replaces the loser, so as to determine the ranking of the big competition, and everyone only has one chance to challenge.

Although it was still early in the morning at this moment, almost all the disciples of the Black Demon Sect who were in the mountain gate had gathered here, and there were two or three thousand people, surrounding the vicinity of the ring.

Next to the ring, there was a black square stone tablet several zhang high, on which were written the names of ten first-grade disciples, in order from low to high.

There are ten disciples standing under the stone stele, lined up in a row, both men and women, all of them have extraordinary bearings, and they are all the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the day after tomorrow.

Under the ring, Shi Muzheng was standing with Bai Shi, Xiao Ming, Jin Huan and others, chatting with a few people, and his eyes were looking towards the black stone tablet and the ten first-grade true disciples.

"Mo Ning, Qian Xiong, Bai Shui Xiu ......"

These are the names of the ten first-grade disciples on the black stone tablet.

Shi Mu frowned slightly, he didn't pay much attention to these people before, and even the names were relatively unfamiliar.

"Senior Brother Shi used to practice penance behind closed doors in the door, so I don't know much about these first-grade disciples, right?" Bai Shi noticed Shi Mu's expression and said with a smile.

Shi Mu smiled and nodded.

"Hehe, that's it, let me give a brief introduction to Senior Brother Shi below. Shiraishi laughed.

"Ten first-grade true disciples, the first place is the man on the far left, called Mo Ning, he reached the realm of the Great Perfection of the Day After Tomorrow a few years ago, he cultivated a water attribute technique, and the famous martial art was the Hidden Cloud Sword Technique, and it is said that the other party often couldn't even see how he made a move, so he was defeated. ”

Shi Mu nodded slightly, and looked at the silver-haired young man on the far left under the black stone stele.

"The second place is that black man, his name is Qian Xiong, he has a rare rock bloodline, and his cultivation is also known for his thick and stable exercises, and his defense is extremely strong, comparable to a demon beast. The third place is Senior Sister Bai Shuixiu, who is a water-attribute spirit level warlock, and is a genius who is expected to advance to a star-level warlock in this sect......" Bai Shi talked eloquently, introducing all ten first-grade true disciples.

Shi Mu nodded slowly, these first-grade disciples are all very talented, no wonder they can occupy the position of a true disciple in the Black Demon Sect.

His eyes flickered slightly, as if he had already made a decision in his mind. (To be continued.) )
