Chapter 1800 Ming Dandan"s Turn

Childe Wildfire was using a limited amount of his power and yet he was able to bring the fight to a standstill. His opponent was at the Fifth Tribulation stage of the Immortal realm as well but was unable to do much other than struggle.

"Makes sense not to reveal his new cultivation base this early when it"s not needed against his opponent." Lin Mu thought to himself.

Unlike Lin Mu, Feng Baxing and Dugu Shanhe, whose fights had all ended within a minute, Childe Wildfire actually fought for ten minutes straight.

"He could have ended it early, but seems like he is intent on fooling the others." Lin Mu smiled as he understood the man"s plan. "It is good a plan though." He thought before getting down from the stage.

Lin Mu knew that Childe Wildfire would be winning, and thus didn"t need to wait there anymore.

He instead went to the Victors pavilion and got his rewards there first. Similar to before, Lin Mu got High grade immortal stones, some pills as well as another material.

But the material this time was not an ore, but rather a bar of refined metal.

"Triple Refined Immortal gold… guess they went with a straightforward reward this time." Lin Mu couldn"t help but say after seeing it.

Being a form of gold, it had an obvious value as a reward. But that wasn"t all, as it could also be used in various immortal tools and weapons.

"Though I have a lot more of it already." Lin Mu recalled one of the chests that Lan Bao had given him before leaving Deep Sapphire City.

It was filled with bars of Triple Refined Immortal Gold and Lin Mu hadn"t even touched it since then.

Lin Mu certainly wouldn"t be selling them, but using them was also out of the option, as he didn"t have the need for a weapon now.

Thus, the chest of gold was sitting in his storage.

"Another one added to it, I guess." Lin Mu stored the bar in his ring before leaving the Victory Pavilion.

He went to the Spring Valley Restaurant, where his companions were waiting for him.

And upon his entry, Lin Mu was met with loud greetings.

"Brother Mu Lin!" Lu Xu shouted out loud. "You blew us all away with your fight!"

"You"ve raised our opinion of you even more." Ming Dandan smiled lightly.

"I didn"t even think it was possible to end a fight that quickly." Ming Aolian still seemed to be in disbelief.

"To defeat a Fifth Tribulation Stage Immortal in one hit like that… I"m afraid Brother Mu Lin"s victory in the tournament is all but decided." Qian Wen praised.

"We"ve made a rather large profit from your fight. People had bet on your opponent as he was three stages above you, but your victory disproved them. We"ve gained nearly eight times the original amount." Luo Liqin reported.

"Thank you all for the wishes." Lin Mu said. "But can I sit first, haha." He chuckled.

"Of course!" They said, letting Lin Mu join.

"You"ve set a new record, Brother. One that I don"t think will be broken for a long time." Lu Xu spoke.

"Really?" Lin Mu asked, wondering if it was accurate.

He could understand if the record was for this tournament, but from the others, he had understood that this was a record for all tournaments that had happened so far.

"Indeed. Even those that defeated their opponents quickly like Dugu Shanhe need some time to initiate the fight. But you were able to do it instantly." Qian Wen explained.

"The shortest record before this was one minute and eleven seconds." Luo Liqin informed. "But you did the same in just forty eight seconds."

"It would make sense if you broke the record by a couple of seconds, but this was much longer than that. Usually, people take at least a minute to even gauge their opponents." Lu Xu chimed in. "I don"t think others would be able to break it for several years to come."

"Mmhmm… at least not through the normal methods." Qian Wen nodded his head.

"I just happened to be luck that my opponent was not prepared." Lin Mu replied.

"Haha, surely!" Lu Xu laughed, taking it as a joke.

They talked for a bit before the announcement for the next cycle was sent.

"That was fast." Lin Mu held the token.

"The fights in this cycle all ended quickly, thus they had no need to wait that long." Luo Liqin spoke.

"Looks like I"ll be fighting this time." Ming Dandan spoke, a look of nervousness on her face. "I"m up against Yao Changying."

Lin Mu furrowed his brows and checked the fights himself, wanting to see how many familiar people there were in it.

In it there were only three names that were familiar to him, the rest being the other top 32 rankers.

"Yao Changying, Ming Dandan and Su Zian. Guess that takes care of all the top 5." Lin Mu thought.

"Have you thought about how you are going to face Yao Changying?" Lu Xu inquired.

"Since I can"t touch her myself, I"ll be relying on the Mulch Crawl Eater Beast." Ming Dandan spoke with some hesitation.

It was clear that she wasn"t fully sure of how they would be doing this.

"With the Mulch Crawl Eater Beast"s large size, it should be easy enough to hide it." Lin Mu replied. "I got a method to make it work." He said after thinking.

"Really?" Ming Dandan"s face lit up.

"Yes, you will have to…" Lin Mu then went on to describe what she had to do and how she would have to act.

With Lin Mu a.s.sisting during the fight, there shouldn"t be any danger to Ming Dandan herself.

After planning with her, Lin Mu went over the rest of the plans until the next day, when it was finally time for the fight.

Lin Mu"s Immortal sense was entering through the nodes of the arrays preparing to help Ming Dandan.

But before Lin Mu"s immortal sense could fully enter it, a mishap happened…
