No hope for eternal life

Chapter 185 The final round of competition begins

After such screening, only the fire secret techniques of number seven and ten and the gold secret technique of number eight are left.

"Practicing three secret arts within three days is also a test of one's comprehension." Mu Changsheng made up his mind and no longer hesitated. He practiced the three secret arts number seven, eight, and ten at the same time.

As long as he could complete the task of practicing the three secret arts in three days, even if he made some mistakes and couldn't take first place, it should still be more than enough to get into the top 20.

Mu Changsheng was the first to start practicing the seventh secret technique. The practice of this secret technique, like refining talismans and setting up formations, required starting from the entry-level techniques, and then slowly moving on to the first-grade and second-grade techniques, emphasizing a gradual process.

Fortunately, the practice of magic does not require the coordination of hand and mind, heart and spirit, etc. like drawing talismans. Mu Changsheng quickly got the hang of magic.

Then came the first-grade and second-grade spells, which Mu Changsheng completed very quickly. This was thanks to the fact that his cultivation had reached the peak of the Golden Core realm. With this high vantage point, it was quite easy for him to practice low-level spells.

However, the third-grade magic was not so easy. It took Mu Changsheng four hours to master it.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng began to practice the strongest attack technique in Secret Art No. 7, called the Meteoric Heart Fire, which was the ultimate goal of his practice of Secret Art No. 7.

Another three hours passed, and Mu Changsheng finally mastered the technique of the Falling Heart Fire. He couldn't wait to see how powerful this technique was.

The test method that Mu Changsheng thought of was also very simple, which was to use magic to attack his own fist. With his level of body refining, ordinary magic could not hurt him at all.

So, Mu Changsheng found an empty corner and began to use the Meteoric Heart Fire.

A ray of fire appeared on the palm of Mu Changsheng's right hand. At the same time, the blood and essence in Mu Changsheng's body began to burn. This is also the special feature of the Meteorite Heart Fire spell. It requires burning blood and essence to increase the power of the spell.

Afterwards, the flames continued to grow and turned into a fire lotus. Under Mu Changsheng's control, the fire lotus hit his left fist.

Mu Changsheng could clearly feel the scorching temperature emanating from the surface of the fire lotus. The fire lotus exploded instantly, and the splashing flames attacked Mu Changsheng's left fist.

But unfortunately, Mu Changsheng's fist had already been indestructible. Until the power of the flame plasma was completely consumed, only a slight wound was left on Mu Changsheng's fist.

"Not bad." Mu Changsheng nodded slightly. The power of this magic was quite good as it could cause some damage to his body.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng began to practice the two secret techniques number eight and number ten without stopping, but the final result was not satisfactory.

The attack power of the secret techniques No. 8 and No. 10 are not as powerful as that of the secret technique No. 7, and there is less than a day left.

"There are still ten hours left. If I try hard, I can practice another secret technique. But which secret technique should I choose?" Mu Changsheng's eyes hesitated as he looked back and forth over the remaining seven secret technique stone tablets.

Finally, Mu Changsheng fixed his sights on the secret arts No. 2 and No. 5. His previous reason for excluding these two secret arts was that water and earth arts were not good at attacking, which was really far-fetched and hasty. Perhaps the organizer just wanted to do the opposite, and the strongest secret art was one of those two.

"Then let's use secret technique number two." Mu Changsheng made up his mind. It was a choice between two options, so he could only rely on luck.

In order to practice the secret technique number two, Mu Changsheng spent a full nine hours to complete it. However, the result still made Mu Changsheng deeply disappointed, because the attack power of the secret technique number two was not as strong as that of number eight and number ten.

"I can only use the move of Falling Heart Fire." Mu Changsheng smiled bitterly in his heart, but fortunately the power of the move of Falling Heart Fire was not bad, so it should be no problem for him to get into the top 20.

Another hour passed, and Hu Tiandu casually moved the Hun Tian Bell from the first floor to the fourth floor, and announced the end of the time: "Time is up, according to the ranking order of the third floor, from the lowest to the highest, one by one, the 50th one goes first."

The 50th place was a man named Guangxiu. He obeyed the order and stepped forward to cast a spell. A fire lion seal roared out and hit the green bell.

Mu Changsheng recognized at a glance that this technique was one of the tenth secret techniques, which he had also practiced.

"Dong, Dong, Dong..." The green bell rang twelve times in total.

The forty-ninth cultivator took action next. He used the secret technique number six, and the green bell only rang ten times.

Then, the number nine secret technique sounded eleven times, the number one secret technique sounded nine times, and the number four secret technique sounded twelve times...

It was not until someone used the secret technique number five and directly struck it seventeen times that Mu Changsheng finally confirmed that the secret technique number five was the strongest secret technique. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and made the wrong choice when choosing between the two options.

Finally, it was Mu Changsheng's turn to take action. He used secret technique number seven and struck the target fifteen times.

After Mu Changsheng came Hu Pingzhi. He used the most powerful secret technique number five, so he also struck the bell seventeen times.

Next came Mu Xun. Like Mu Changsheng, he used the secret technique number seven and struck the bell fifteen times.

It is worth mentioning that Zhuang Beihai also used the secret technique number seven, but he got sixteen sounds, which means that his magic power is deeper. He should have practiced his strength, so the same cultivation and secret technique can exert a stronger power.

Finally, Ji Leyao used the secret technique number eight and got fourteen sounds. This was also a sign of her strength training, because the secret technique number eight could only produce thirteen sounds normally. This shows that if one's foundation is strong enough, even if one chooses the wrong secret technique, it will not have much impact. In the end, all the tests still have to be linked to one's strength.

Then, Hutiandu immediately gave the specific ranking:

First place: Hu Pingzhi and An Xiangnan.

Second place: Zhuang Beihai

Third place: Mu Changsheng, Mu Xun, Sun Ziyuan, and Hu Quanxing.

Fourth place: Ji Leyao, Ying Song.

……

Hu Pingzhi and An Xiangnan tied for first place, and Hu Tian gave each of them a first place reward.

Although Mu Changsheng seriously suspected that Hu Pingzhi and others knew the answer in advance, he was not stupid enough to question them directly. After all, this was someone else's territory, so it was normal for them to make some small moves in secret.

Afterwards, Hutiandu led the top 20 people who advanced to the fifth floor.

Rather than calling it a fifth floor, it would be more accurate to call it a rooftop. It is located very high, and people can overlook most of the scenery in the capital from it.

Hu Tiandu said, "This final competition cannot be taken lightly. To be fair, everyone needs to compete with the other 19 people once, and the ranking will be determined by the number of wins. If there are the same number of wins, they will need to compete again to determine the winner."

"Also, feel free to do whatever you want during the competition. If you get injured, I will personally treat you and ensure your recovery without any sequelae."

Mu Changsheng nodded slightly after hearing this. He was already very familiar with the rules of this competition, but this way of competition was indeed relatively fair.

Then, Hu Tiandu acted as the referee and said, "The first match will be between Hu Pingzhi and Hu Quanxing."

"Yes." "Yes sir." The two men who guarded Pingzhi took orders and stood up to start the competition.

Although Hu Tiandu had just said that they should let go during the competition, the fight between Hu Pingzhi and Hu Pingzhi was not very exciting. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was just acting. After the competition, Hu Pingzhi won easily and it was hard to tell what was going on, which seemed like he was conserving his strength.

"The next competition will be between Zhuang Beihai and An Xiangnan." Hu Tiandu continued to announce.

This battle was obviously much more exciting. Zhuang Beihai and An Xiangnan were at loggerheads with each other, neither willing to give in.

Zhuang Beihai had been tricked by Hutian before, so he was even more rude when he drew his sword this time.

It can be said that An Xiangnan used all his tricks, forcing Zhuang Beihai to show off his best tricks one after another before he completely defeated An Xiangnan.
