Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga

Shi Mu stood in a certain corner of the martial arts field at the moment; Cai was on his shoulder .

He had suppressed his aura this entire time since he didn't wish to attract people's attention . From an outsider's point of view… he was currently no different from a martial warrior who had barely stepped into the Xian Tian primary stage . Also, no one could sense his true strength unless the opposite party's spirit sense was far exceeding his own .

The strength of his dual cultivation – martial arts and magic arts – along with the splendid power of his spirit sense allowed him to get an edge over the ordinary martial warriors . In addition, the practice of the Art of Accumulating Spirit Power and the Transcending Heaven Imperial Spirit Determination had significantly contributed towards the enhancement of his spirit sense's power . Therefore, his spirit sense was now far more powerful than that of of any Earth-ranked primary stage warrior . But, it was slightly less powerful than that of a Moon-ranked magician .

However, Shi Mu couldn't cover-up his overbearing and rebellious temperament . Consequently, many surrounding people cast sidelong glances at him . However, they soon exposed a contemptuous look, and retracted their gazes when they found out that his cultivation wasn't high .

The registered participants started to arrive at the venue one after another as the time of the competition approached .

Most of the participants were either middle-stage or advanced-stage Xian Tian warriors . However, several Star-ranked magicians were also part of this group .

Manager Shi of the Heavenly Wu Gems Pavilion had been assigned to preside over this competition . He took a look at the sky . Then, he walked up to the stage which was located in the center of the martial arts practicing field . He coughed a little, and then began the announcement, "It's almost time . We can't wait . . . "

A sudden uproar broke out in the crowd at this moment . Then, a woman leapt forward in the martial arts field in a hurry .

The woman was dressed in an orange dress which was perfectly highlighting the contour of her exquisite figure . Her pure-white face looked slightly red at the moment . She had a pair of deep-green and slender eyebrows; they looked like a willow leaf . A pair of large and limpid eyes could be seen below them . Her beautiful eyelashes looked like curtains . In addition, there was a hint of a distinct heroic aura around her that was adding charm to her mesmerizing beauty .

This woman didn't wait for the surrounding people to recover from the trance . She gracefully clasped her hands toward Manager Shi, and said in a reverent manner, "I'm Leng Yue Tong . I'm sorry for being a little late today . Do I still have time?"

Manager Shi looked at her, but didn't reply . He simply nodded . Then, he began to announce the rules, "The total number of applicants that have registered for the selection of escorts is eighty-five . But, only seventy-eight people have marked their presence today . The outcome of the battle will be determined through drawing lots . There are altogether forty matching numbers here . Those who draw out the same number will have a showdown here . And, the winners will become eligible to participate in this escort mission . The thirty-ninth and fortieth numbers will be promoted directly . "

These words had barely faded when a wave of whispering and discussing sounds echoed in the field . But, nobody turned up with any objection in the end .

"Well, everyone will start drawing lots in sequence now . "

Manager Shi waved his hand as he finished his words . Then, a blue-robed man beside him walked out, and placed an iron box in the center of the stage; there was a pile of sealed paper wraps in that box .

Shi Mu also followed the crowd . He stretched out his hand, and picked up a paper wrap randomly . He was about to open the paper wrap when Cai's voice suddenly fell into his ears .





"Shi Tou, I know that woman!" Cai's big eyes went wide open, and he blustered loudly .

"This is a public place . So, you give me little peace," Shi Mu responded .

"I'm telling you the truth . Take a look at her quickly . She was the one who had thrown flirtatious glances at you on the street when we had barely entered this city," Cai shouted again . Simultaneously, he rubbed his wings against Shi Mu's neck .

Shi Mu raised his head, and looked in that direction . He found that the woman that Cai was talking about was Leng Yue Tong; she had arrived late here .

He thought about it several times, but couldn't remember when he had seen this woman . Meanwhile, Cai couldn't hold back . So, he flew over to Leng Yue Tong .

"Hey, pretty lady, do you recognize me?" he hadn't even finished his words when his head received a smashing hit from Shi Mu .

"What's this, Shi Tou? Why did you do this?" Cai shouted at him with displeasure .

Leng Yue Tong was awestruck to see that a parrot with multi-colored feathers was talking to her . But then, the corners of her mouth gradually curled as Shi Mu emerged beside her .

"So, it's you!" Leng Yue Tong was surprised and delighted at the same time .

"You finally remembered . I have a good memory . I had recognized you even though you had a veil on your face the other day . We had parted ways that day . But, we've met again today . This is called fate . . . " Cai started to blabber in an incessant manner .

"So, this parrot is your spirit-pet," she listened to Cai's non-stop blather, and found it very funny . She thought that Cai had been trained by Shi Mu . So, she shifted her gaze to Shi Mu and said so .

"This domestic animal keeps on babbling nonsense all day long . And now, he has offended you . However, I still hope that the Miss will forgive us," Shi Mu clasped his hand toward Leng Yue Tong and said . Then, he picked up Cai and left .

"Shi Tou, Miss Leng is so pretty . How are you not tempted by her?" Cai had been dragged away by Shi Mu . But, he still didn't forget to add a few words .

"Shut up!" A smashing hit again fell on Cai's head .

"Ouch, it hurts! Can't you hit me gently? You are a stone-hearted fella . . . " Cai shouted in a resentful manner .





A group of surrounding participants saw that Shi Mu and Leng Yue Tong were talking to each other in a manner that made it seem as if they were very close . And, an askance look surfaced in their eyes .

It was indeed very rare to see an extremely gorgeous woman like Leng Yue Tong in the barbarian race . In fact, there was hardly any woman in this Peaceful Sun City who could compete with her intriguing beauty . On top of that, Leng Yue Tong was also a Star-ranked magician; it could be sensed from the faint magic power waves her body was radiating . Therefore, the surrounding participants felt a sense of admiration for her in their hearts .

A few Xian Tian advanced stage warriors saw this, and also tried to strike up a conversation with her . Buy, they hadn't expected that she would give them the cold shoulder . Consequently, they couldn't remain calm, and exposed an expression of embarrassment on their faces . Then, they again struck a glance at Shi Mu… only to find that he was merely a young Xian Tian primary stage warrior . And, this realization filled their hearts with a sense of irresistible hatred for him .

"A boy who has just entered the Xian Tian realm is thinking of fighting over a woman with us — his seniors . It seems that he's tired of living!" a tough and sturdy man blurted out . The people around him issued bursts of laughter in response .

"Brother Jia, even a man of your strength can't help but get angry when you look at that boy . "

"Yeah, that boy is kind of arrogant . It ticks me off when I see him!"

" . . . "

However, Shi Mu acted as if he hadn't heard their words . He didn't even throw a glance at these people . He simply strode toward a blue-robed man, and gave his number to him . This action made people's hatred for him even stronger than before .

The competition finally marked its beginning . The participants started to come forward in ascending order as per the rules .

The small field bustled with people's noise and excitement in a matter of seconds . Someone would strike down the ring every now and then .

Shi Mu had already found that his opponent was a martial warrior with the help of Cai's vision . That person had received number 18 just like he had . However, he had exchanged his number with that robust man surnamed Jia at the last moment .

Shi Mu sneered in his heart on seeing this . But, he still maintained his composure, and went to the ring .

The man surnamed Jia swept a glance over a few supporters in the crowd, and burst into laughter . Then, he leapt onto the ring with a huge stick in his hand; that stick was covered with several sharp teeth-like a wolf's fangs .

Suddenly, a buzzing sound resounded in the crowd below the stage . The man surnamed Jia was a strong advanced stage Xian Tian warrior . Therefore, the entire Peaceful Sun City was scared of him . In fact, there were only a handful of people in the city who could be his match . On the other hand, his opponent — Shi Mu — had never been seen before in the city . Moreover, he was merely at the Xian Tian primary stage . Therefore, everyone thought of him as a worthless and anonymous pawn .

Only Leng Yue Tong was unable to take her eyes off the stage . In fact, her eyes were smeared with a hint of curiosity . It seemed that she couldn't wait to watch the showdown . She had just defeated her opponent, and had qualified for this escort mission without a hitch by doing so . But, it seemed that she wasn't particularly happy with her attainment .

"Boy, I'd like to give you a chance . Allow your senior to use only three head-smashing moves on you here . And, I promise you that I won't hit you severely," the man surnamed Jia struck a contemptuous look at Shi Mu as he said .





Such words sparked off a burst of laughter in the crowd .

"Are you done?" Shi Mu responded in an unhurried manner while examining his right-hand's fist .

"You have courted death!"

The man surnamed Jia gave a loud shout, and a green light flashed on his body . Then, the light surged rapidly, and enveloped the wolf-tooth gigantic stick in his hand with a mass of green light . He then hacked his stick toward Shi Mu with full force . A Xian Tian advanced stage oppressive force swept across the audience, and galloped straight toward Shi Mu the next moment .

"Boom" a loud and explosive sound rang out .

Shi Mu's silhouette dispersed into the air the moment he was struck by the mass of green light . However, it was only his remnant shadow .

The fact was that Shi Mu had dashed around, and had appeared behind the man surnamed Jia at lightning speed . It had seemed as if his main body had transformed into a green silhouette as he dashed to behind that man . He then raised his arm, and shot a solid punch with his full strength . And, an overwhelming invisible force rushed out of his fist .

A loud "Bang" sound was heard . It was followed by a sound of bones being cracked .

"Ah!"

The man surnamed Jia uttered a screech in anguish as he got struck and went flying out of the ring like a scudding cloud . He then crashed to the ground with terrible force . A hole had been smashed-open in his chest by Shi Mu's punch . He had been left to spout a mouthful of blood by a mere punch! Even his breathing was barely perceptible at the moment… as if he was lingering on the doorstep of death .

The entire martial arts field sank into a complete silence at once . And, everyone began to gaze into Shi Mu's eyes with an indescribably appalled look on their faces .

However, Shi Mu didn't say anything . He merely turned toward Manager Shi, and bowed to him with his hands clasped . Manager Shi also responded at this moment, and declared that Mu Shi had qualified for the mission .

Manager Shi then gazed at Shi Mu's silhouette from behind, and sank into a deep contemplation for a while . Then, he beckoned to the blue-robed man, and whispered a few words to him . After that, he started the next match .

"Shi Tou, I knew that you would triumph over him . How old does that fellow think he is?! He was messing about and acting like a prick in the name of seniority . He doesn't deserve to live . . . " Cai flew over to Shi Mu in high spirits when he saw his victory .

"Ah, Miss Leng, I had told you that you didn't have to be worried about Shi Tou, right? Shi Tou can be compared to a stone . That man had invited disaster by overestimating his own strength," Cai's voice revealed a sense of complacency when he said such words to Leng Yue Tong; she stood not far from them .

Shi Mu was dumbfounded to see Leng Yue Tong again .

"Brother Mu is very formidable . I must agree that an honorable person doesn't need to flaunt his true strength," Leng Yue Tong walked over, and said with a broad smile .

"Miss Leng is making fun of me," Shi Mu's voice sounded cold when he said .

"Miss Leng, why do you address Shi Tou as 'Brother'? Why do you do this?! Can it be that you like my Shi Tou?" Cai saw that Shi Mu wore a cold and detached look on his face . Therefore, he said in order to add fuel to the fire from the sidelines .

"Haha, this bird is very amusing . So, you are asking me this question? I naturally like him . However, he doesn't seem to like me . So, what means do I have?" she replied with a natural and generous smile .

Shi Mu had never been confessed to like this . Therefore, a flush of bashfulness spread on his dark face when he heard these words . He then grabbed Cai with all his strength, and flicked on his head . Then, he turned as if he was about to take his leave .

"Brother Mu doesn't have to be bashful . Your Little Sister is a straightforward girl . She speaks everything frankly… like I just said 'like' . So, you don't need to be shy," her big and beautiful eyes stared at Shi Mu as she said . Also, a hint of a smile could be seen hanging on her face .

Shi Mu was left speechless for a moment… He didn't know what he should say in this situation .

"This Little Sister felt a kind and amiable feeling when she first saw Brother Mu . Presumably, Brother Mu is also a hybrid of a human and a barbarian . I can feel that the aura on your body has a great similarity to mine," Leng Yue Tong spoke in a straightforward manner .

Shi Mu's mouth went wide-open in amazement as these words surfaced in his ears . And, a person's silhouette flashed across his mind at the same time; it was Feng Li!

It was very rare to see a hybrid person — half barbarian and half human — in the Eastern Continent . In fact, a person of mixed blood neither had a foothold in the Barbarian race nor in the Human race if he was found by the people . But, this Leng Yue Tong was courageous-enough to share her secret with Shi Mu in public .

"What? Miss Leng is a person of mixed blood… half barbarian and half human?" Cai looked surprised as he asked this .

"What's the matter? Why do you have such a strange expression of amazement on your face? You're in the Western Continent . The barbarians and the humans had started to intermarry almost a hundred years ago here . And, their children also get acknowledgement by everyone here . Doesn't your family do the same, Shi Tou?"

"Tsk, so it turns out that you aren't a barbarian . Why are you clad in this kind of dress then?" Cai asked without thinking the matter through .

"How am I not a barbarian? In fact, I'm not just a barbarian; I'm a human as well . It's just that I prefer barbarians' dressing style . That's all . Don't you think that it's easier like this?" she replied .

"Miss Leng, I'm afraid that it's not right . This Mu is indeed a barbarian . But, you and I can't travel the entire journey together . We'd better part ways here," Shi Mu grabbed Cai as he spoke . Then, he turned around, and walked away while ignoring Cai's shouting and wrangling .

"Interesting!" Leng Yue Tong gazed at Shi Mu's receding silhouette as he drifted into the distance . She then muttered to herself .
