No hope for eternal life

"Crack." When Mu Changsheng's fist collided with Tu Huan's left elbow, Tu Huan's face changed instantly. He felt that Mu Changsheng's punch was extremely clever and had dislocated his elbow joint.

Then, it was Mu Changsheng's turn to take advantage of the situation. He punched Tu Huan with both fists, continuously hitting the vital points on his body, forcing Tu Huan to only be able to defend himself and unable to fight back.

At this time, Mu Changsheng's strength did not increase directly, but his speed and reaction ability were greatly enhanced, and these two points are exactly what is most needed in close combat.

As his opponent, Tu Huan felt the changes in Mu Changsheng most intuitively. He had to admit that Mu Changsheng really comprehended the realm of physical body, which was also what he, a body cultivator, dreamed of.

"No, I haven't lost yet. Mu Changsheng can comprehend the artistic conception of the physical body, and so can I." Tu Huan roared in his heart. He had no intention of admitting defeat and wanted to fight to the end.

"Bang bang bang bang!" Mu Changsheng and Tu Huan continued to fight.

However, the control of the ring has been completely transferred to Mu Changsheng. At this time, Mu Changsheng's face was calm, and his punches and kicks were extremely smooth and elegant, with a great demeanor.

On the other hand, although Tu Huan had devoted himself to the battle, he was still led by Mu Changsheng. Mu Changsheng's sudden changes in punches and kicks could catch him off guard. This was the change before and after he comprehended the artistic conception.

After dozens of rounds, Tu Huan was already out of breath and seriously injured, while Mu Changsheng had only a new wound on his body.

In fact, Mu Changsheng could have dealt with Tu Huan long ago, but it was rare to find an opponent with a physical training ability like Tu Huan, and he didn't want to miss the opportunity, so he deliberately left some room for him when he attacked, which is why the two of them were able to fight for so long.

Mu Changsheng also wanted to use this opportunity to continuously experience and familiarize himself with the changes that the physical body and state of mind brought to him.

However, as time goes by, the time limit of the secret technique of Blood Spirit Demon Body used by Tu Huan is coming to an end and the effect is fading.

Therefore, Tu Huan's power began to weaken and he could no longer bring any pressure to Mu Changsheng.

Mu Changsheng naturally discovered this as well. In response, he first slowly pushed Tu Huan to the edge of the ring, then knocked him off the ring with one punch, and took the initiative to end the competition.

"Mu Changsheng wins." The referee announced.

"Thank you for letting me." Mu Changsheng clasped his fists and thanked Tu Huan. If it weren't for Tu Huan's timely help, he didn't know when he would be able to truly comprehend the realm of physical body, even though Tu Huan had no intention of taking the initiative to help in this process.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng went off the stage again to heal his wounds, and at the same time turned his attention to the No. 2 ring where Mu Xun was. The competition between him and Tu Huan had lasted for a long time, but the battle on Mu Xun's side lasted even longer.

At this time, on the No. 2 ring, Mu Xun and Zhang Yuxu were both in tattered clothes and seriously injured, which showed how fierce their fight was.

The long spear in Zhang Yuxu's hand had been split into two short spears again, and the two spears attacked Muxun without stopping.

Mu Xun blocked all of Zhang Yuxu's attacks with a black sword in his hand, and he advanced and retreated with confidence, as if he had everything planned out.

The two fought for a long time on the ring, and it seemed difficult to tell who was better.

Mu Changsheng sighed: "It seems that Mu Xun has also comprehended the sword intent."

Mu Changsheng had a reason to say this. Zhang Yuxu had already comprehended the meaning of the spear. If Mu Xun had not comprehended the meaning of the sword, the situation on the ring would not be as evenly matched as it is now.

On the No. 2 ring, Zhang Yuxu, who had been attacking Mu Xun fiercely, suddenly changed his expression. The effective time of his secret technique to enhance his own strength had expired, and his strength dropped sharply, while the time of Mu Xun's secret technique had not yet expired.

The two men were originally evenly matched, but the balance of victory instantly tilted towards Mu Xun, and Mu Xun did not miss this opportunity and defeated Zhang Yuxu in one fell swoop.

"Oh oh oh..." The audience burst into thunderous applause. Muxun defeated Zhang Yuxu, which meant that the original first favorite to win the championship also changed from Zhang Yuxu to Muxun.

In the healing station, Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun met again. Mu Changsheng gave a thumbs up and said, "Great! You are now the favorite to win the championship."

Muxun responded with a smile: "If I don't beat you, I feel that my position as the favorite to win the championship is unstable."

"Let's wait and see." Mu Changsheng laughed. Now that both of them have successfully comprehended the artistic conception, they are back on the same starting line. It is hard to say who is stronger without a formal comparison.

Not long after, Mu Changsheng returned to the arena again, waiting for the next competition.

On the stage, the referee announced: "The next round of competition: Stage 1: Mu Changsheng vs. Song Zhi, Stage 2: Lu Chengyun vs. Han Feng..."

At the same time, Song Zhi walked to Mu Changsheng's side and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet Mr. Mu so soon."

Mu Changsheng also smiled back and said: "Miss Song has now comprehended the artistic conception of the technique, so I dare not be careless."

After he comprehended the artistic conception, Mu Changsheng's horizons seemed to have broadened all of a sudden. Only then did he truly understand that every cultivator who comprehended the artistic conception was not simple.

Now, among the top 25 in the foundation-building county examination, except for Mu Xun and Mu Changsheng, only Zhang Yuxu, Lin Kun, Lu Chengyun, Xu Minghan and Song Zhi have comprehended the artistic conception. Among these people, except Xu Minghan who has been defeated by Mu Changsheng, the others will be Mu Changsheng's strong rivals.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng and Song Zhi took the stage together.

On the ring, the referee quickly announced the start of the competition.

Mu Changsheng did not rush to take action, but first clasped his fists and thanked: "Miss Song told me and Mu Xun about her state of mind before, which was a great help to us. Therefore, in addition to myself, I also need to express my gratitude to you on behalf of Mu Xun."

Song Zhi smiled softly upon hearing this, and said in a gentle voice: "Mr. Mu, you are too polite. After all, it is because the two young masters have extraordinary comprehension that they can comprehend each other's artistic conception so quickly."

Afterwards, Song Zhi said directly to the referee: "I give up."

The referee was stunned for a moment. He admitted defeat before the fight even started. Could he have been bribed? Then, the referee looked towards the chief referee on the podium, asking what to do.

The chief referee had been paying attention to the situation on every arena in the arena, and naturally noticed the situation on Mu Changsheng's side. After thinking for a moment, he nodded to the referee on Mu Changsheng's arena, which was considered as his tacit approval.

The reason why the chief referee acquiesced was that, firstly, he judged that Mu Changsheng was stronger, and even in a normal competition, Mu Changsheng would have a greater chance of winning; secondly, with Duke Xue Rang of Qi around, there was no need to make a fuss over such a trivial matter.

The referee received the response and immediately announced: "Mu Changsheng wins."

After stepping down, Mu Changsheng found Song Zhi and said with a wry smile: "Miss Song, why do you have to do this? If you admit defeat directly, others will only think that you are afraid of fighting, which will have a very bad impact on you."

Song Zhi smiled carefreely and said, "I only do what I want to do. Why should I care what others think?"

"The girl is absolutely right." Mu Changsheng sighed. His liking for Song Zhi was growing.

……

In the next few hours, Mu Changsheng fought seven more matches in succession, during which he met many strong opponents, two of whom were the first in the county examinations for the Foundation Establishment Realm in other counties.

However, none of those people had comprehended the artistic conception, and facing Mu Changsheng, who had already comprehended the artistic conception, they were naturally defeated one by one as expected.

"The next round of competition: Arena No. 1: Zhang Yuxu vs. Xu Minghan, Arena No. 2: Mu Changsheng vs. Lin Kun..."

Lin Kun ranked first in the foundation-building county examination in Huaxu County, and Huaxu County ranked fourth among the thirteen counties, second only to Qihua County where Mu Changsheng was located.

Lin Kun is not only the favorite to win this year's Foundation Establishment Realm County Examination, but he has also comprehended the artistic conception. Mu Changsheng has now personally experienced the mystery of the artistic conception, so naturally he does not dare to underestimate Lin Kun, who has also comprehended the artistic conception.
