No hope for eternal life

In response to this, the referee on the side quickly pulled Mu Changsheng back when he was about to throw the fourth punch, fearing that he would hammer Guan Yunbei to death, and then announced: "Mu Changsheng wins."

As soon as the referee finished speaking, the pharmacist who was waiting in the audience rushed onto the stage and began to provide emergency treatment to Guan Yunbei.

At the same time, another pharmacist treated Mu Changsheng's wounds.

After completing the process, Mu Changsheng went straight back to the audience seats. Since this was the last competition, there was no need for him to go to the lounge to rest.

"Your acting skills are really great." Mu Xun on the side praised. He was also fooled by Mu Changsheng's acting skills. He really thought Mu Changsheng was going to lose.

"It's just a trick." Mu Changsheng shook his head slightly. He really took a big risk this time. Once he was discovered, or Guan Yunbei was more careful, he would probably lose everything.

The reason why Mu Changsheng made such a strategy was because he knew that Guan Yunbei had comprehended the meaning of the sword and was capable of both offense and defense. Under normal circumstances, if he did not reveal his last trump card, his chances of winning would not be great at all, or even very small. He had no choice but to resort to this last resort and achieve a surprise victory.

On the other side, Guan Yunbei on the ring finally woke up from his coma, his face full of humiliation. For him, being defeated by a trick was more painful than being crushed to defeat.

After Guan Yunbei took the pill given by the pharmacist, his injuries were finally stabilized, and he only needed to rest for a few more days.

Afterwards, Guan Yunbei walked down the stage slightly shakily and walked towards Mu Changsheng. The people around him quickly made way.

Guan Yunbei walked up to Mu Changsheng, and the two looked at each other. Guan Yunbei suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "I have been tricked by you today. There is nothing to say. I will definitely teach you a lesson during the county exam."

Mu Changsheng replied calmly: "My victory today was indeed not glorious, and it is only natural that you want to get back at me. But I would like to say one more thing, on the stage, there are no rules that prohibit anything, and everything is allowed."

"What a good rule! Nothing is forbidden. Thank you for your advice." Guan Yunbei said solemnly, then turned and left. After losing on the ring, anything else he said would be nonsense.

"I would like to remind you." Mu Xun suddenly said to Guan Yunbei's back: "Don't forget that Mu Changsheng is only in the middle stage of foundation building now."

Mu Xun's meaning is very clear. You can't even beat Mu Changsheng, who is in the middle stage of foundation building. If Mu Changsheng breaks through a small realm or reaches the same realm as you in the future, do you still have a chance of winning?

Guan Yunbei paused when he heard this, and continued to leave without saying a word.

Mu Xun's words not only reminded Guan Yunbei, but also reminded everyone present, and they all started to discuss: "Yes, if I hadn't said it, I would have almost forgotten that Mu Changsheng was only in the middle stage of foundation building."

"Entering the top three in the county exam with a mid-stage foundation building cultivation base can be considered a record-breaking county martial arts exam."

……

"Boom!" A long bell sounded, announcing the end of this Foundation Establishment Realm martial arts test.

County Lord Gao Xuan stood up again and said with a happy face: "I am very happy to see your wonderful competition. The quality of the top ten this time is very high. Not only is there a genius who has comprehended the artistic conception, but also Mu Changsheng won the third place in the county test with the cultivation base of the middle stage of foundation building. This is the second case in the 3,763 years since the founding of Shenfeng Country, and the first case since the establishment of Qihua County. In addition, Mu Xun won the first place in the martial arts test with the cultivation base of the late stage of foundation building, which is also a rare event in Qihua County for 300 years. It is also worth celebrating. I will definitely record this matter in the county annals and report it to His Majesty the Lord."

"In addition, everyone else should also be alert and think about why they are not as skilled as others, especially the other eight in the top ten. Now Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun can defeat you even though they have lower cultivation levels. If they reach the same level of cultivation in the future, you will be left far behind."

Although County Lady Gao Xuan's voice was not loud, it touched the hearts of the vast majority of the monks present, and many of them lowered their heads in shame.

Then, the county lieutenant next to County Lord Gao Xuan stood up and said, "Next, we will begin awarding the top 100 winners of the county exam, and the last 50 cultivators will go up to stage number one to receive their awards."

Then, the names were read one by one: "Zhang Lin, Qin Xuan, Wang Chenghai..."

At this moment, Qin Xuan no longer had the arrogance he had before. He tiptoed onto the stage. The huge gap between him and Mu Changsheng made him no longer dare to be hostile to Mu Changsheng.

Even so, Mu Changsheng still noticed Qin Xuan's figure. In response, he just shook his head slightly, feeling that there was no point in arguing with such a person.

After the rewards for the last fifty places were announced, it was the twenty-sixth to the fiftieth places. Compared to the simple three hundred middle-grade spirit stones reward for the last fifty places, they not only had two hundred more middle-grade spirit stones, but also one more high-grade golden elixir each.

Then came the rewards for the eleventh to twenty-fifth place. The reward for medium-grade spirit stones was increased to seven hundred pieces, and the top-grade golden elixir was replaced with a top-grade one. Here we have to talk about the wealth of the Shenfeng Kingdom. For the spirit stone rewards, they did not even bother to use low-grade spirit stones, but directly used medium-grade spirit stones.

Finally, the county lieutenant announced that the top ten would go on stage to receive their awards. They were:

First place: Musun

Second place: Bai Xuanyu

Third place: Mu Changsheng

Fourth place: Guan Yunbei

Fifth place: Han Tao

6th place: Wang Yuanlong

Seventh place: Song Zhi

8th place: Qiudu

Ninth place: Fu Tianxing

10th place: Xu Yourong

This time, County Lord Gao Xuan personally came on stage to present awards to everyone one by one.

When it was Mu Changsheng's turn, Gao Xuan not only handed the storage bag containing the reward to Mu Changsheng, but also patted Mu Changsheng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Congratulations, I hope you can continue the glory of Senior Yang Wuque."

Mu Changsheng and Yang Wuque both followed the path of body training and talismans, so Gao Xuan naturally linked Mu Changsheng and Yang Wuque together.

"With my limited skills, I dare not be compared with Senior Yang Wuque." Mu Changsheng said modestly.

"Being humble is a good thing. You still have a long way to go and must not be proud and complacent." Gao Xuan said with satisfaction.

After awarding the ten people their rewards, Gao Xuan said to the top ten on the stage: "You have all worked hard in the competition for nearly ten consecutive days. Go back and have a good rest today. Tomorrow at 5 p.m., I will host a banquet for you ten people at the City Lord's Mansion on behalf of the court. Please be sure to attend."

"As you command." Mu Changsheng and ten other people agreed in unison. Gao Xuan was inviting them to a banquet on behalf of the Kamikaze court. It was not a private invitation, so naturally everyone had to give face to the court.

Afterwards, everyone left one after another, and Mu Changsheng took Mu Xun to the inn where he had stayed before.

After returning to their respective rooms, Mu Changsheng opened the storage bag containing the third place reward, took out the items inside, and classified them.

The reward of 1,500 middle-grade spirit stones was put into his own spirit stone storage bag. He had two spirit stone storage bags, one for middle-grade spirit stones and one for low-grade spirit stones. Together with the 1,500 middle-grade spirit stones as a reward, he now had a total of more than 24,000 middle-grade spirit stones.

As for the low-grade spirit stones, they were mainly exchanged for more than one million low-grade spirit stones with ten thousand medium-grade spirit stones. Excluding the consumption of the previous purchase of the Golden Arrow Talisman inheritance talisman and the spiritual materials for making the talisman, there were more than four hundred and seventy thousand left.

The two together amount to nearly 30,000 medium-grade spirit stones, which is nearly 3 million low-grade spirit stones.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng picked up the imperial third-grade spiritual armor as a reward and looked at it carefully for a while.

The spiritual armor is very small and looks like an ordinary silver vest on the outside, but it is a real defensive spiritual weapon with a formation engraved inside. Once put on, the formation will cover the whole body and it will be difficult for ordinary Jindan realm cultivators to break through.
