So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

As Mu Zhian walked onto the arena, many disciples in the audience couldn't help but look at him.

Huang Manting also saw this scene, and looked at Mu Zhian in surprise.

This doesn't seem like his style...

In my impression, this young master of the Mu family is the type who would never fight unless he could... Why would he accept the invitation to fight this time?

Or did he just want to show his talent to the other leaders?

On the other side, Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian also noticed this scene, and couldn't help but look up, with a bit of surprise in their eyes.

"Why would Brother Mu go on stage to fight with others...?" Ye Qian's eyes were a bit worried.

Although he was willing to believe Mu Zhian, the third prince was still a member of the royal family of the Dagan Dynasty. Before entering the Liangyi Sect, he had always had a lot of resources and even skills, and the grades of the two were very close.

Ye Qian had never seen Mu Zhian take action so far, so it was inevitable that he was a little worried at this time.

Ye Lingxuan's expression remained calm. She looked up at the young man on the arena with a smile and said softly, "Don't worry, Brother Mu will definitely go on stage when he is sure."

"Have you ever seen him do such an unsure thing?"

With her sister's comfort, Ye Qian first nodded softly, feeling relieved.

Brother Mu...? Then, the name that Ye Lingxuan had just unconsciously called out flashed through her mind, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at her sister's exquisite and beautiful profile.

My sister just called him, Brother Mu...?

My sister clearly didn't dislike him very much before, and even asked her to be careful to prevent Brother Mu, how could it be...Ye Qian stared at Ye Lingxuan's profile, with a bit of confusion in her eyes.

At the same time, Bai Ruoxi also looked up and stared at the figure in front of the arena. The strong wind blew her palace skirt tightly against her snow-white skin, outlining her graceful figure with excellent proportions.

The full chest set off by the lapels vaguely revealed a hint of snow-white, unfathomable. At first glance, people have the idea that "you have big breasts, so whatever you say is reasonable."

Beside Bai Ruoxi, Princess Yongning, who was dressed like an empress, glanced at the woman beside her, smiling, and said, "Sister Ruoxi, are you worried about Mr. Mu?"

Bai Ruoxi shook her head slightly and smiled, "He won't do anything he is not sure of."

She has never seen Mu Zhian do anything impulsive. If he is not sure, he will not accept the invitation of the third prince.

"Oh?"

Princess Yongning narrowed her eyes slightly, raised her head and looked at the young man on the arena, with a little more interest in her eyes.

This useless brother of hers is at least the fifth level of Qi training, and Mu Zhian is obviously not in the realm of spiritual training. Even from the aura he exuded at the time, he should be between the fifth and seventh levels of Qi training.

Miss Bai is so sure that Mu Zhian can win?

At the same time, several chiefs on the high platform also noticed some commotion there, and Yan Ruyu was the first to turn her head to look.

When she saw Mu Zhian on the martial arts stage, she pursed her elastic lips and glanced at Yu Ziyan, the chief of Daofeng beside her.

Mu Zhian going on stage to compete... This is not a good thing.

At least it is not a good thing for her.

If Mu Zhian performs too well and attracts the attention of other chiefs... It will be difficult for her to operate.

"Mu Zhian is also on stage... This is really not in line with the character of that disciple." Yi Hao looked at the figure on the martial arts stage not far away and couldn't help laughing.

Ever since Mu Zhian praised Yi Hao in front of Linglong that day, he liked the young master of the Mu family who had just joined the sect.

If there was only one quota for inner disciples, and there were three or four "genius disciples" who had to be fought for among the inner disciples this time, he would even choose Mu Zhian without hesitation.

The head of Chunyang Peak was quite sturdy, with loose red hair. He looked at the boy on the competition stage and also praised: "I haven't seen him for a few days. He has already reached the sixth level of Qi training from the fifth level... This speed of cultivation is really amazing."

Yu Ziyan, the head of Daofeng, stood gracefully, slightly raised her head and looked at the competition stage. She was wearing a feather robe, her face was cold, and she had a kind of holy temperament that people dared not blaspheme.

After staring for a moment, she smiled indifferently and said: "It should be that he got some adventure from Senior Linglong these days."

Generally speaking, how could it be possible to be promoted to a higher level in just a few days?

Even a genius would not be able to do it, but Mu Zhian did it.

Yi Hao nodded silently, although he smiled, but he never spoke.

If you have to say it, Mu Zhian did get some "adventures" from Linglong.

And he was the one who gave Mu Zhian the adventures.

This Mu Zhian probably ate the Eight Treasure Crane, which directly promoted him to a higher grade.

"Ning Long has taken action." Someone around him suddenly said, and then, in front of a certain arena in the distance, the Third Prince's body burst out with amazing spiritual energy.

Judging from the power of this spiritual energy, it has far exceeded the fifth grade of Qi training!

Many people in the audience were a little surprised, but some people showed an unexpected look.

After all, the Third Prince grew up in the royal family in the past, so he must have this ability.

After all, with the resources of the royal family, even a pig would have become a spirit, let alone a human?

It is not impossible to obtain some secret methods to forcibly improve his grade.

The third prince raised the tip of the sword in his hand and pointed it at Mu Zhian, saying: "Master Mu, the sword has no eyes. If I accidentally hurt you, don't blame me."

Mu Zhian smiled lightly and said: "The third prince is right, the sword has no eyes, so you have to be prepared."

The third prince narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Mu Zhian.

He knew that Mu Zhian's strength was very close to his, but Mu Zhian obviously didn't know that he had a secret method that could forcibly improve his grade.

Although there was only one stick of incense, it was enough to end the battle within this period of time.

This sword can determine the outcome!

The third prince took a half step forward, and the violent aura surged like a tide.

However, Mu Zhian's expression remained unchanged, but he just pressed his thumb on the hilt and pushed it up. The sword was unsheathed a little, flashing a little cold light.

The spiritual energy in the cauldron in the body quietly circulated, and the sword was unsheathed the next moment.

Clang!

The surging spiritual energy gathered at the tip of the sword, and the crisp sound of the sword coming out of the sheath came to the ears. The disciples in the audience even saw only a semicircular arc passing by.

And the next moment, the sword in Mu Zhian's hand had returned to the scabbard.

The body of the third prince stopped in place, motionless.

After a while, there was a crisp cracking sound from the sword in his hand. When the blade broke, a piece of iron swept across his face, cutting a bright red blood on his handsome face.

Then, the third prince fell straight down, his eyes widened, and it seemed that he was still a little unbelievable before he fainted.

One sword defeated the cultivator of the same level!

This scene came too quickly, and the visual impact it brought was too strong, making many disciples in the audience a little stunned and didn't react for a long time.

Gongsun Cheng's body stiffened slightly, and subconsciously looked at the cold beauty in the palace skirt in the crowd.

Mu Zhian's sword reminded him of the bronze sword that Bai Ruoxi had sacrificed.

On the high platform, Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly, secretly looking at the young man whose spiritual energy was almost absorbed by half in an instant.

At the same time, the eyes of several chiefs and elders looking at Mu Zhian seemed to have a little more thoughtfulness.

Mu Zhian is now at the sixth level of Qi training... This realm is not high, but if his cultivation talent is really so terrifying, he will be a good seedling if he is well cultivated in the future.

"Mu Zhian's skills are quite interesting. One sword decides the outcome. If he can control this skill in the future, it will probably be a surprising move." Yi Hao looked at Mu Zhian in front of the competition stage, and after a moment of silence, he commented with a smile.

"This sword is indeed amazing, but the spiritual energy in the cauldron is probably absorbed by 60%... If he uses the second sword, I am afraid that he will not be able to bear it." The chief of Huabao Peak said.

Yu Ziyan frowned slightly, looked at Mu Zhian with doubt, and said, "Why do I feel that the spiritual energy in his cauldron is still so full?"

The main cultivation of Daofeng is "Tao", and this "Tao" emphasizes "Tao follows nature" and follows the laws of nature. This Tao makes them naturally sensitive to spiritual energy, so the head of Daofeng noticed the abnormality almost instantly.

It stands to reason that Mu Zhian should have been absorbed most of his spiritual energy because of the Lone Star Sword...but why does she feel that his spiritual energy is still so full?

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Yu Ziyan in unison.

Yan Ruyu glanced at this former senior sister inadvertently and secretly smacked her lips.

This senior sister is still as sharp as ever... Yan Ruyu smiled lightly and changed the subject: "This sword is indeed amazing, but no matter what, the inner disciples that everyone here wants to fight for first are still Bai Ruoxi and others, right?"

Whether it is Daofeng, Canghaifeng or even other main peaks, the goal this time is to prioritize the two cultivators in the Refining God Realm and Ye Lingxuan.

And then, it is the little girl from the South Barbarian.

After being poured with cold water by Yan Ruyu, the several heads calmed down a lot.

While Yan Ruyu looked at this scene, the corners of her mouth inadvertently curled up, and she turned her eyes back to the direction of Mu Zhian.

It seems that we can't delay any further...

If Mu Zhian is snatched away in advance, especially by this senior sister from Daofeng, it will be troublesome...

On the other side.

Feeling the gazes of everyone, Mu Zhian's expression was still calm, just watching the senior brothers in the sect take the unconscious third prince away indifferently.

Of course, he just looked calm.

Because of that sword strike just now, even Mu Zhian himself was also amazed.

That sword strike clearly contained Bai Ruoxi's "Tao".

Or rather, it contained the power of Bai Ruoxi's bronze sword.

Mu Zhian quietly opened his personal interface and took a look.

[Name: Mu Zhian]

[Role Positioning: ██]

[Achievements: Natural Furnace, Friend of Villains, Envied Talent, Natural Spirit Body (Fake), Sword Immortal Bodyguard (Fake)]

"Hmm...?"

Mu Zhian noticed a blind spot.

If I remember correctly, at the beginning, he only had three achievements... but now, he has five!

The natural spirit body should be Ye Lingxuan's physique.

What about the sword immortal bodyguard?

...Bai Ruoxi's physique?

Mu Zhian looked at the interface in front of him and had a bold guess in his mind: Could it be that I can get new achievements because of them?

If so, it would be understandable why I was able to use part of the power of Bai Ruoxi's bronze sword just now.

As for the two ██ characters on the role positioning and the love box covering it, Mu Zhian was not very surprised.

Because a long time ago, after he had an intimate relationship with Bai Ruoxi, the word "supporting role" became like this.

Quietly closing the interface, feeling that most of the spiritual energy in the cauldron was gone, Mu Zhian looked around at the people in the audience with a faint smile, and was about to leave the stage.

At this time, Ye Yu stepped on the ground and jumped onto the arena in the next moment, staring at Mu Zhian and said, "Master Mu, do you dare to compete with me again?"

Bai Ruoxi frowned slightly, looked up at Ye Yu on the arena, and said coldly, "Master Ye, if you want to fight, I can accompany you to try."

Ye Yu stood on the high platform, staring at Mu Zhian, and said, "Master Mu, or do you dare not fight with me?"

Who are you... Sensing Ye Yu's gaze, Mu Zhian covered his chest with his hand, coughed lightly, his lips were pale, and he raised his eyes slightly, saying, "Master Ye, sooner or later, we will have to decide the winner, but I am afraid that my spiritual energy today is not enough for another fight."

"Of course, if Master Ye insists on doing so, I will sacrifice my life to accompany you." After Mu Zhian finished speaking, he drew his sword again, but his figure seemed to be shaking a little.

Ye Yu frowned and stared at Mu Zhian.

Just now he felt that Mu Zhian still had a lot of spiritual energy, but how could he suddenly become so weak? !

This guy is clearly acting!

Let's see how long you can pretend... Ye Yu took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, stared at Mu Zhian, and said: "Okay, then please teach me, Master Mu!"

After that, he was about to unsheathe the sword in his hand.

"Enough."

At this time, a crisp sound came from the high platform, and the sword that Ye Yu was about to unsheathe suddenly made a "clang" sound and was forcibly inserted back into the scabbard.

Then, a woman wearing a loose black robe and a sexy and charming figure appeared on the arena.

Yan Ruyu!

Ye Yu's eyes condensed slightly, and he immediately clasped his fists: "Master Yan."

The voices in the audience fell silent in an instant, and countless eyes stared at the master of the library on the arena who was as tempting as a peach.

"Why did the Pavilion Master stop me from competing with him?" Ye Yu seemed to be very respectful, but his tone was obviously unwilling.

In order to defeat Mu Zhian, he had practiced hard for so long, but he finally waited until today, but was stopped again!

For Ye Yu, this was simply a huge torture.

Yan Ruyu put her hands behind her back and said lightly: "Mu Zhian's performance this time is already bright enough, and there is no need for a second competition."

Ye Yu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked up at Yan Ruyu, but heard her say:

"My Library has not recruited an inner disciple for many years. It happens that Mu Zhian has a good relationship with me and has excellent talent. From today on, he will be accepted as an inner disciple of the Library."

There was an uproar in the audience.

The first inner disciple selected was Mu Zhian? !

They thought that Bai Ruoxi and even Wei Mengrou would be the first inner disciples to be fought over, but they never thought that Mu Zhian would be the first to stand out? !

The chief seat and even the elders on the high platform all looked over, with some surprise in their eyes.

This junior sister hasn't recruited inner disciples for many years, but this time she actually took the initiative to choose an inner disciple?

Yi Hao was stunned for a moment, looking at Yan Ruyu on the arena and the young man standing next to her. Although he felt a little regretful, he couldn't say anything.

Originally, Yi Hao planned that if the chief seat didn't choose Mu Zhian as an inner disciple in the end, Mu Zhian could continue to be his outer disciple in Canghai Peak... Of course, he would also give Mu Zhian the resources that an inner disciple should have, but he would not have the title of "inner disciple".

But now... For Mu Zhian, it is also a great thing.

After all, the resources of the library are not inferior to those of the other nine peaks.

Seeing this, the chief seat and elders present all looked a little tangled, but none of them spoke to stop it.

After all, Bai Ruoxi and the others were still outside, so they naturally wanted to be the first to win over those talented disciples. Therefore, it was not shameless for them to stop Yan Ruyu's choice.

Ye Yu looked at this scene with a look of surprise.

He was not the first inner disciple to be selected, but Mu Zhian was selected as an inner disciple first? !

Why? !

Just because of his sword just now? !

That was just the blessing brought by the Lone Star Sword's skills. What does it have to do with Mu Zhian's own talent? !

Ye Yu opened his mouth slightly and wanted to speak several times, but looking at the smiling and attractive Pavilion Master Yan, he still held back the words in his heart.

Even he didn't dare to question Yan Ruyu at this time.

He knew very well that he shouldn't do such an offending behavior.

Yan Ruyu turned her head and looked at Mu Zhian. She was tall, with a smile on her lips, and her black hair was scattered like a waterfall, showing a slightly lazy and messy beauty.

The extremely sexy figure is hidden under the loose black robe, and the whole body is full of mature and mysterious charm.

What does this sister see in me? Is she greedy for my body... Sensing the tenderness between Yan Ruyu's beautiful eyebrows, Mu Zhian couldn't help but complain in his heart.

He thought that after the other leaders, there would be people who would choose him. After all, there was a spiritual dragon behind him.

But Yan Ruyu obviously didn't know about Linglong.

So here comes the question... What does Pavilion Master Yan see in him?

Beauty? Mu Zhian laughed at himself.

"Mu Zhian, are you willing to become a disciple of the Library Pavilion?" At this time, Yan Ruyu suddenly spoke up.

Why does it sound a bit like a wedding vow... Mu Zhian clasped his fists respectfully: "I am willing to do my best for my senior!"

I shouted in my heart: Sister Yan, I don’t want to work hard anymore!

Yan Ruyu nodded slightly and said with a smile: "In that case, then come to the library to find me."

After saying that, she raised her hand towards Mu Zhian's forehead, and a ray of spiritual energy quietly entered Mu Zhian's body.

Mu Zhian took out his sect token. On the front was his name, and on the back, the seven characters "Inner Disciple of the Library Pavilion" appeared.

After doing all this, Yan Ruyu left.

She was worried that if she continued to procrastinate, she would have more nightmares at night.

If Mu Zhian's sect token has the words "Book Collection Pavilion" on it, he won't be afraid that other leaders will notice his secret and start fighting over it.

Especially Yu Ziyan, who is stuck at a certain level of the Return to Void Realm like her.

Seeing the beauty in black robes leaving the pilgrimage hall, Mu Zhian withdrew his gaze and walked off the competition stage.

And as Yan Ruyu spoke first, the elders and leaders of the major peaks also fell from the high platform.

Bai Ruoxi originally planned to come up to find Mu Zhian, but she immediately became the favorite among the major peaks. Ye Lingxuan was also favored by these nine leaders. Even Wei Mengrou, who had always maintained a low profile and was in an "invisible" state, was the same Was approached.

At the same time, many of the disciples present were approached by senior brothers and sisters from the nine main peaks, and it seemed that they were trying to win them over as disciples of their own main peaks.

This is too complicated... Mu Zhian looked at this scene and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

In fact, in the initial selection of inner sect disciples, disciples from the major peak sects put forward the benefits that their main peak could promise.

Until later, a shameless old thief from a certain main peak personally invited the disciple to show his "sincerity".

As can be imagined, the other main peak leaders followed suit later on, which also led to the selection of inner disciples becoming more and more complicated.

Sitting down on a stone chair under the stage, Mu Zhian watched the scene leisurely.

"Miss Bai, speaking of it, I have a destiny with Little Friend Mu. If you enter Canghai Peak, you can continue to live in Tianhe Garden in the future. Or if you have a fancy cave, I can make the decision for you. I will give you the cave."

Yi Hao suddenly spoke and took out the trump card that he had been thinking about for the past few days.

Miss Bai, who was cold, gentle and had no bad intentions, had bright eyes and looked at Yi Hao subconsciously. Then she nodded her head reservedly and respectfully and said, "After thinking about it for a while, I still think that Canghai Peak is more suitable for me."

Seeing Yi Hao's operation, the leaders of Chunyang Peak and Zuimeng Peak watched helplessly as Bai Ruoxi's sect token was engraved with the identity of "Canghai Peak Inner Sect Disciple". They felt like they had a lemon in their hearts. They were all blaming Yi Hao. practice:

"Shameless old thief."

"What you are doing is worthy of being the master of a peak?!"

Yi Hao smiled calmly and said: "This is fate. The cause that Mu Xiaoyou and I planted first led to the results today. You must not be jealous or lose your status as the leader."

Bai Ruoxi chose Canghai Peak, and several people looked at Ye Lingxuan and Wei Mengrou, as if waiting for their choice.

However, both of them did not speak, but looked at Mu Zhian subconsciously.

This movement was extremely subtle, but it was clearly seen by these old monsters.

Several leaders, and even the elders, looked at Mu Zhian, who was sitting leisurely on the chair, and couldn't help but narrowed their eyes slightly.

It seemed that no matter how many benefits he said, it was not as effective as Mu Zhian's words.

This Mu Zhian... is the fundamental factor that determines which main peak these geniuses choose.
