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

"Besides, I don't know how to teach."

Although Wang Mu spoke arrogantly and thoroughly undermined Zhu Xiaotian's confidence, every word he said was true.

If I don't give Zhu Xiaotian a hard time, I'm afraid this kid will keep bothering me.

Upon hearing Wang Mu's words, Zhu Xiaotian sat down with a resentful expression and said nothing more.

Seeing Zhu Xiaotian like this, Wang Mu found it quite amusing.

He then comforted him, saying, "The top three winners of this competition will enter the secret realm for training. After the competition ends, you don't need to follow me anymore."

"Take your servants and go back as soon as possible!"

“Once those people find out about our relationship, they will definitely make things difficult for you after the competition, and then I won’t be able to protect you.”

Zhu Xiaotian knew that Wang Mu cared about him, but he still felt very regretful.

However, what Wang Mu said does make sense.

After Wang Mu leaves, these cultivators will inevitably entangle with him.

The servants he brought with him were no match for these cultivators.

So, Zhu Xiaotian said reluctantly, "In that case, let's say goodbye."

"If Young Master Wang ever needs my help in the future, please don't hesitate to come to me!"

"understood."

Immediately, Wang Mu took out a golden light shield from his Qiankun bag and handed it to Zhu Xiaotian, saying, "Keep this with you; it could save your life in a critical moment."

After Zhu Xiaotian and his entourage left, the competition on the stage reached its most intense moment.

The contestants on stage have changed three times, and Wang Mu currently favors the cultivator who uses the Stone Manipulation Technique the most.

He can control his spiritual energy to cause all the rocks around the area to explode.

The spiritual energy fluctuations caused by the explosion are more than five times stronger than the original spiritual energy.

With the difference in spiritual power among all cultivators being relatively small, his cultivation technique gained the upper hand over the innate level.

As expected, the top three in the final competition were Wang Mu, Xia Huahai, and Lin Xiuyuan.

"For this competition, Yanwu City has prepared a place for the cultivators who have come to participate to rest. If you don't mind, you can rest for the night in the City Lord's Mansion before leaving."

"The secret realm will open in three days. I would like to invite the three gentlemen who will be entering the secret realm to come with me!"

Wang Mu then stood up from the ground, dusted himself off, and followed the judge.

The judge led them into the city lord's mansion.

Wang Mu could clearly sense that the judge seemed very afraid of him, constantly avoiding his gaze, as if he was afraid that Wang Mu would tear him apart alive.

"Please wait here for a moment, the city lord will be here shortly!"

After giving his instructions, the judge left in a hurry.

Wang Mu, bored, began to look around at the scenery. Suddenly, Xia Huahai, who was sitting opposite him, spoke up: "May I ask how this young master is addressed?"

"Wang Mu, I am from the Immortal Spirit Continent. I came to this space by accident."

Xia Wenhou nodded and said, "Young Master Wang, what brings you to the grand competition in Yanwu City?"

"I just came here to give it a try, and I just stumbled into the top three by accident."

Everyone present had witnessed Wang Mu's strength, and upon hearing his sudden humility, they immediately fell silent and did not ask any further questions.

Xia Huahai was genuinely curious about Wang Mu. He could sense from Wang Mu's aura that Wang Mu was no ordinary person.

And they were able to survive the gushing lava without any external injuries.

His skill level must be extremely high.

If we can recruit him to our side, the Xinhuo Sect will likely gain another great general.

But judging from Wang Mu's appearance, he seems to be a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune.

Even if he now has the idea of ​​subduing Wang Mu, he can't say it so quickly, lest he incur Wang Mu's displeasure...

Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, the city lord finally arrived late.

The city lord of Yanwu City was wearing an eye patch over his left eye, making him look like a rice dumpling.

In Yanwu City, a place where it is hot all year round, he managed to dress himself up so warmly.

This person's constitution is also quite peculiar.

However, Wang Mu only glanced at it before looking away.

The city lord arranged for an extremely large number of Yanwu City disciples to participate in this competition, but in the end only one disciple made it into the competition.

He suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

Unbeknownst to him, the Flame Domain had actually developed so many powerful cultivators...

Xin Huo Sect is one of the most famous sects in the Yan Domain, so it's understandable that no one dares to challenge them.

The city lord simply did not expect that Wang Mu, such an uninvited guest, would appear halfway through the journey.

Previously, Wang Mu's name was unheard of in the Flame Domain. No one knew where this expert had come from.

So, the city lord exchanged pleasantries with Xia Huahai in a very polite manner, and then immediately turned his attention to Wang Mu.

"Who is this?"

"My name is Wang Mu."

"I have heard about Young Master Wang's previous performance. I never expected to see such a master in the competition in my lifetime. I am truly sorry for not welcoming you properly."

Wang Mu silently thought to himself, "Luckily you don't know I exist, otherwise I probably wouldn't be here alive!"

Immediately, Wang Mu remained very respectful and said, "You flatter me, City Lord."

After a round of compliments, everyone steered the conversation back to the main topic.

"A few days ago, I used the Destiny Orb to explore the scene in the secret realm and found that there seemed to be some strange phenomena in the secret realm."

"But what exactly it is, I have no idea. So when you go to the secret realm this time, we can only leave it to your fate."

Upon hearing this, a playful smile appeared on Xia Huahai's face, as if he couldn't wait to enter the secret realm for some excitement.

"Our purpose is to enter the secret realm for training. If we can't even overcome a small danger, then..."

"Even if we go in, I'm afraid our cultivation techniques won't improve."

Upon hearing this, Wang Mu immediately chimed in, "Brother Xia is right!"

"Please rest assured, Lord City Lord, we will all return safely."

However, what Wang Mu didn't know was that he wasn't the only one who went into the secret realm with a mission.

Lin Xiuyuan, who also possessed the skill of manipulating stones, went in with a mission.

During this exchange, Wang Mu noticed that Lin Xiuyuan, who was sitting to the side, didn't say a word at all; his personality was truly as hard as stone.

It was extremely dull.

After the city lord left, the three of them did not continue their conversation and went their separate ways.

Three days later, the secret realm opened as usual, and only the three of them were allowed to enter.

"The three of you must be careful!"

Many cultivators from Yanwu City appeared outside the secret realm to see them off.
