Starting with the Magic Absorption Technique: I swept through the fantasy world.

"Such graceful movements, but unfortunately, the killing intent is slightly lacking," Li Ming said coldly.

“Young master, those footsteps just now seemed to belong to the Yu family of Xuzhou City,” Hong Cheng added from the side.

At that moment, the fierce lion pounced again, but the boy did not dodge. Instead, he clenched his fist and met the attack without hesitation.

Seeing this, Li Ming and Hong Cheng almost rushed out to help. Fighting the Fierce Lion head-on was practically suicide.

Unexpectedly, just as the fist was about to reach the lion's mouth, it suddenly shrank and successfully passed into the lion's mouth.

"thump."

The poor lion never imagined that a human's hand could change. After being hit by the boy, it struggled on the ground for a few moments before finally stopping breathing.

"Is this okay?"

Li Ming's expression turned strange. He wouldn't dare to do that if he were in the lion's shoes. If he wasn't careful, he might have his arm swallowed by the lion.

"Come out!"

The boy had already noticed Li Ming and his group's presence.

"Impressive skills. You must be Tong Penghui, the number one expert in Yunyan City."

"Interesting. The legendary close-combat prowess of Tong Penghui, Xiao Mei, is indeed true. His signature move has reappeared. Congratulations!" Li Ming and Hong Cheng emerged from the bushes.

Wang Mu stared intently at the two men; they both appeared to be exceptionally skilled experts.

"I am not Tong Penghui!"

Li Ming and Hong Cheng exchanged bewildered glances. It wasn't Tong Penghui? Who else besides Tong Penghui could possess such refined close-combat skills? Even if it wasn't Tong Penghui, he was probably a secret weapon of the Tong family. It seemed that not only they, but others had also secretly cultivated new forces.

"My name is Li Ming, and this is my brother Hong Cheng. We were originally going to kill this ferocious lion, but we missed it. However, we were able to witness the world-renowned close combat skills, so it wasn't a wasted trip."

Upon hearing these two names, Wang Mu nodded. He was really lucky. He had this plan in mind, and when he had time, he would go and witness the unique skills of other masters.

And the guy in front of me is actually Li Ming. It is said that Li Ming and Hong Cheng, both of the younger generation, are masters of manipulating fire. It is just the right time to meet him now.

“That’s perfect. My name is Wang Mu. I’m just looking forward to seeing the abilities of a magic spirit illusionist. Will you come one by one, or all at once?” Li Ming and Hong Cheng exclaimed upon hearing this.

He almost burst out laughing. Even if Tong Penghui came, he wouldn't be able to take on the two of them. Hong Cheng stepped forward and smiled slightly, saying, "Since you're so interested, how about I spar with you?"

"That's the same." Wang Mu's purpose was simply to see the power of fire; as for who would practice with him, that didn't matter at all.

Hong Cheng didn't rush to attack, but casually said, "Brother Wang Mu, you just fought with the Fierce Lion. Don't you need to rest for a while before fighting again?"

"I don't need to deal with you."

Wang Mu blurted it out without thinking.

What an arrogant tone! These words sounded rather harsh to Hong Cheng and Li Ming. Arrogance requires sufficient capital.

"In that case, Brother Wang Mu, you'd better watch out!"

Hong Cheng moved his hand slightly, and a flame was suddenly released, forming the shape of a whip. Facing such a skilled opponent, Hong Cheng dared not relax. Even if the opponent had no weapon, his strength must be considerable.

"Be careful."

Since the other party is eager to see his abilities, Hong Cheng will not let them down.

As soon as the whip was raised, it unleashed a thick flame, the very fire unique to magic spirit illusionists. The eerie flames enveloped the whip and coiled around Wang Mu.

As a result, Wang Mu moved his feet slightly and dodged Hong Cheng's whip. Under such circumstances, the whip seemed to have a spirit, following behind Wang Mu and wrapping around him again.

Wang Mu dodged again, and the whip grazed past him. He could clearly feel the searing pain brought by the hellfire.

"What a domineering flame."

Wang Mu was secretly surprised, thankfully he dodged quickly.

In the next few times, Wang Mu successfully dodged Hong Cheng's whip. Li Ming frowned slightly. Wang Mu kept dodging, seemingly trying to lure Hong Cheng into using all his moves.

Not only Li Ming, but Hong Cheng also sensed that something was wrong. He paused slightly with his whip and said, "Wang Mu, if you keep dodging, there's no point in continuing this fight."

"Alright, be careful."

Wang Mu smiled slightly. He had grasped most of the moves Hong Cheng had just used, the only thing he lacked was the flame. If he could release the flame, then there would be no difference.

However, Wang Mu did not want to reveal his ability as a magic spirit illusionist. At this moment, Wang Mu casually picked up a soft willow branch, and with a slight movement, the willow branch swept towards Hong Cheng like a ghost.

"Whip technique".

Hong Cheng's expression changed slightly. He knew that when he released the flames just now, he relied on the combination of whip techniques and flames to achieve a perfect effect.

Wang Mu looked at it once and was amazed that he could actually use the whip technique. Hong Cheng did not hesitate at all and swept his long whip away.

"boom!"

Wang Mu retreated violently. He could feel that the attack was not only coming from the whip. Within this power, there was an even more domineering heat following closely behind. This was the terrifying aspect of the flames. The combined internal and external attack was too difficult to defend against.

With a flick of his wrist, the rotation of the bridge surface dispelled the force of the whip, and at the same time, his body maintained a distance from the flames.

Hong Cheng was not having an easy time either. The power of the willow branch was beyond his imagination, and it almost pierced through his body. What was most terrifying was that he had to exert a lot of effort to completely eliminate that strange power. It was not as easy as it seemed on the surface, and this was only because the other party did not use their full strength.

Of course, he didn't either; in this kind of friendly competition, no one would fight to the death for no reason.

One used a whip and flames, while the other used only willow branches. The outcome was already obvious. Hong Cheng stared at Wang Mu with a strange expression.

“Brother Wang Mu, you are indeed no ordinary person.” Li Ming and Hong Cheng exchanged a glance, and Li Ming couldn’t help but speak up.

"My skill level is just average," Wang Mu replied casually.

Hong Cheng and Li Ming were speechless. If Wang Mu's level was considered ordinary, then wouldn't the upcoming Dynasty Sect King Competition be full of experts?

“Brother Wang Mu, I have recently mastered a new technique. I wonder if you would be willing to fight me again?” Hong Cheng suddenly said, this was a rare opportunity.

By using their special moves to force out the opponent's true strength, they have the advantage. Li Ming, who is standing to the side, must have noticed the problem.

Even if we meet on the competition stage in the future, it will be easy to deal with. A mysterious master with a terrifying ability to imitate is definitely a potential opponent.
