No hope for eternal life

Chapter 111 Group First Battle

"In addition." Mu Changsheng continued: "I already know that Miss Xu has a lot of Explosive Pills, but Explosive Pills are precious items comparable to third-grade talismans after all. You should try to save them as much as possible. It's best to use them when you hear me shout out the three words 'Explosive Pills'. Of course, it still depends on the specific situation. If an enemy is about to hit you, you can use the Explosive Pills at will."

"No problem. I've also learned some magic techniques and secret skills. I can attack even without using Explosive Pills and Explosive Qi Pills." Xu Lingxi agreed.

"I have also learned some secret healing techniques and can help you heal your injuries during the competition. The effect should be good." Song Zhi said at the right time.

"This couldn't be better." Mu Changsheng said with great joy. Having Song Zhi to help heal his injuries was good news for everyone.

At the same time, the competition on the stage was drawing to a close. After all, they were a temporary group and lacked tacit cooperation. All three competitions could be described as a melee.

First, the competition on the No. 1 ring on the left ended. The ten people went down the stage one by one, some to heal their wounds, some to rest. The referee of the No. 1 ring stayed on the ring, cleaning it and preparing for the next round of competition.

Mu Changsheng took this opportunity to approach the No. 1 ring and asked the referee on the stage: "I would like to ask, during the competition, can the talisman I made by myself be used by other people in the group?"

The referee was stunned when he heard this. Mu Changsheng's question really stumped him. Now the competition method was suddenly changed to team competition. Since talismans can be used in individual competitions, there seems to be no problem for team members to share talismans in team competitions.

"Wait a moment, I'll go ask for you." The referee replied to Mu Changsheng. He was still a little unsure, so he reported the problem to his superiors.

Soon, the referee came back and gave Mu Changsheng a positive answer: "As long as the talismans and other items are made by yourself, you can lend them to other members of the group for use."

"Thank you." Mu Changsheng thanked him. He asked this question just to be cautious.

After Mu Changsheng returned to the team, Mu Xun and the other three were curious about what Mu Changsheng had said to the referee.

"I asked the referee if talismans can be shared, and the referee said yes." Mu Changsheng took the initiative to say, and at the same time took out a Lihuo Talisman from his storage bag.

Mu Changsheng then distributed the Fire Separation Talismans to Mu Xun, Zhang Yuxu and Song Zhi, and said: "These are third-grade Fire Separation Talismans. You three will each have five. Miss Song keeps them for self-defense. You can use them when an enemy approaches. The two of you need to use them as appropriate during the battle. After all, the talismans are limited, so it's better to use them sparingly."

Then, Mu Changsheng said to Xu Lingxi: "I'm sorry, my Lihuo Talisman is limited. Miss Xu, you have a Explosive Qi Pill, which is just as powerful as my Lihuo Talisman. I won't give you the Lihuo Talisman."

"It's okay, it's okay. I have the Explosive Qi Pill, and that's enough. Mr. Mu doesn't have to worry about it." Xu Lingxi said with understanding. In her opinion, Mu Changsheng was very generous to take out some Fire Separation Talismans. At least it made her feel that she had made the right choice in this team leader.

Zhang Yuxu said in a flattering tone: "Haha, with your Lihuo Talisman, our team will definitely be even more powerful. Don't worry, I will use it with caution."

Zhang Yuxu had suffered losses personally from the Lihuo Talisman. If used well, it could have completely turned the tide of the battle. He didn't expect that Mu Changsheng could take out so many at once.

Zhang Yuxu had learned about talismans because of Mu Changsheng. He knew that it was extremely rare among talisman masters for a talisman master to be able to refine so many third-grade talismans in a short period of time. This represented talent and potential.

After a while, the other two competitions on the three stages also ended. The referee quickly announced the list of teams for the second round of competition: "Stage 1: Team 7 vs. Team 8; Stage 2: Team 9 vs. Team 10; Stage 3: Team 11 vs. Team 12. In addition, during the competition, the talismans and other items made by the team members can be shared with other members of the team."

"It's really the way they are grouped." Mu Changsheng said to himself, and then said to Song Zhi and the other three with a smile: "It's a good opportunity to hone the cooperation among the five of us."

Mu Xun and his three companions also smiled knowingly, because the group number eight that acted as their opponent happened to be one of the only two miscellaneous groups among the twenty groups.

They are called a ragtag group because they are composed of the weakest monks taking the exam from various counties.

The reason for this situation is that when the number of people who advance to the top 100 in the county is greater than five, the strong people in the county will automatically eliminate the weaker monks from the group when forming the group, and those who are eliminated will be forced to form a group with the rest of the eliminated people.

Therefore, it can almost be said with certainty that those two miscellaneous groups are the weakest among the twenty groups.

Of course, despite what he said and how he laughed, Mu Changsheng still did not dare to be careless and underestimate the enemy. What if there was a 'dark horse' among them? He had suffered losses in this regard before.

On stage No. 1, Mu Changsheng's group No. 7 and group No. 8 each took the stage and stood opposite each other.

The referee first checked the talismans, explosive pills and other items of Mu Changsheng and the other four, and then checked the talismans of the opposing group No. 8.

Mu Changsheng was not surprised to see this. According to intelligence, among the five people on the opposite side, there was a cultivator named Su Xun who was just like himself, practicing both body cultivation and talismans. However, the intelligence did not show that the other party had used a third-grade talisman.

The talisman that Su Changchang used was a special talisman made from condensed Dan Qi. Its power was between the second-grade and third-grade talismans, which was not bad. However, it was still a little behind the real third-grade talisman.

"Be careful of Su Xun who also lent talismans to the other four people in his group." Mu Changsheng had reminded Mu Xun and the other three before going on stage.

Soon, the referee gave the order: "The competition begins."

Mu Changsheng and his five companions adjusted their positions at the beginning, forming the one-two-two cone formation that Mu Changsheng had proposed.

In contrast, Su Xun and the other five from Group 8 did not have any rules at all. As the start of the competition was announced, the five of them rushed directly towards Mu Changsheng who was at the front.
