Chapter 898 Another plan
Lin Mu's expression froze.
Give up?
This is so unexpected!
Just now, he thought that Du Xin was chattering to him, trying to persuade him to surrender.
There was no way he would agree to it.
Unexpectedly, Du Xin surrendered on his own!
Lin Mu was surprised.
Before taking the stage, he was fully prepared.
Du Xin is Liao Shu's good friend. This battle will definitely be a fierce battle!
Du Xin's strength is even better than Liao Shu's, and his trump card should not be inferior to Liao Shu's. Gu Zhenhao repeatedly warned him that Du Xin was a gloomy person and should be careful.
He was always on guard and did not dare to relax even a little bit.
I never expected that Du Xin would take the initiative to admit defeat now!
Lin Mu was still activating the sword field, pointing the Suixin sword directly at Du Xin without any relaxation.
Before the elder in white opened the Ancient Forbidden City and announced the result, everything Du Xin said might be rhetoric, deliberately deceiving him and making him relax, and then he would deliver a fatal blow to catch him off guard.
After all, in this ancient forbidden city, no matter how nice and touching Du Xin's words are, only the two of them know about it, and no one outside the ancient forbidden city will know this.
No matter it is the elder in white or thousands of people watching the cultivator, they all see the same result.
Thinking of what Gu Zhenhao had repeatedly warned him about how insidious and cunning Du Xin was and how deep the city was, he felt more and more that there was some conspiracy hidden in Du Xin's willingness to admit defeat.
This is a mineral-lode competition, no child’s play.
Du Xin is not clearly at a disadvantage now. If the fight continues like this, he who has the advantage in cultivation will gradually take the initiative and gain the upper hand.
Even in a competition of trump cards, Du Xin's trump card would not be any worse than Liao Shu's Five Yin Thunder Beads, and was even more powerful.
He has no reason to give up on his own initiative!
Lin Mu did not take the initiative to attack again, but the power of the sword field did not weaken at all. The Sui Xin sword shined brighter and brighter in the sword field.
He would never be careless before the results were announced.
"Why did you take the initiative to admit defeat?" Lin Mu asked calmly, with no joy of winning easily on his face.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
This is probably a conspiracy.
"My current strength is indeed not as good as yours. You are slightly better than me." Du Xin said with a smile. "With my strength, even if I enter the top sixteen, I will still be at the bottom. I can't do it for someone who is in the top sixteen." In vain, use my life-saving trump card that has been cultivated for tens of thousands of years."
Du Xin looked at Lin Mu and continued: "What's more, you now have Liao Shu's three Five Yin Thunder Beads in your hand. Even if I use my trump card, it will be difficult to defeat you. I might even risk my own life!"
"I can't do this!" Du Xin said with a bright smile, "He who knows the current affairs is a hero, what do you think?"
Lin Mu didn't respond.
The cultivators in the audience all started talking about it.
"Why did the two of them stop suddenly?"
"The beating was at its most intense, and then it came to an abrupt end without letting anyone see it!"
"Lin Mu is on full alert, while Du Xin looks very relaxed, as if he is about to unleash his trump card and prepare for a reversal!"
"Is it possible that Du Xin has revealed his trump card and still wants to say hello to Lin Mu? He is not that stupid, right? Isn't this a reminder to Lin Mu to be on guard?"
"Looking at Lin Mu's guarded look, it seems that this is really the case!" A cultivator immediately echoed.
"You are the fools!" A cultivator thought he was smart. "Du Xin's life-saving trump card has been treasured for tens of thousands of years. He must be reluctant to use it. If he directly explained it to Lin Mu, Lin Mu would be frightened. , it is very possible that I will give up on my own initiative!”
"In this way, Du Xin will win without a fight and still be able to keep his trump card!"
The cultivators around me all understood.
"If you really want to admit defeat, stop talking nonsense and quickly signal the elder in white to admit defeat immediately!" Lin Mu said simply and neatly, "I have no intention of scheming with you. If you want to fight, then I will sacrifice my life to accompany you and fight you to the end. ! I’m not stingy with my trump card!”
"As expected, he is a cheerful person!" Du Xin smiled and complimented, "He is happy with his grudges, unrestrained, and very free and easy. This state makes people envious. He is indeed a peerless genius, one who has never been seen in ten thousand years, and his state of mind is far superior to mine! "
When Du Xin finished speaking, he spoke very simply and immediately signaled to the elder in white to surrender.
Lin Mu still didn't relax at all and was on guard.
Soon, the elder in white opened the ancient ban and announced the result: "In this battle, Lin Mu wins!"
It was only then that Lin Mu truly breathed a sigh of relief.
Du Xin really gave up on his own initiative!
It's all just like a dream.
In history, the strongest opponent I encountered turned out to be the easiest to defeat.
Unlike Lin Mu, who was calm and calm as a wave, Du Xin took the initiative to admit defeat. As soon as the result was announced, thousands of onlookers in the audience immediately exploded.
"Du Xin actually gave up on his own initiative?"
"He wouldn't be so cowardly, would he?"
"I don't even dare to compete with Lin Mu!"
Ordinary people who watch the cultivators can at most sigh with emotion and be curious and puzzled.
The cultivators who were gambling with Gu Zhenhao were much more excited. Many cultivators felt that their scalps were going to explode!
No one expected that this would be the result.
The competition ended suddenly not long after it started.
Or Du Xin took the initiative to admit defeat!
They were all convinced that Du Xin could win.
Gu Zhenhao's bet was to bet at least one million spiritual stones. Many cultivators bet tens of millions or tens of millions of spiritual stones.
In the blink of an eye, in less than half a stick of incense, tens of millions of spiritual stones were wasted.
Several cultivators who gambled with over 100 million spirit stones suffered even worse losses.
Gu Zhenhao was all smiles, even more so.
He didn't expect that everything would be so easy.
With a smile on his face, Lin Mu flew down from the battle stage, and in a flash, he came to Gu Zhenhao.
Many cultivators came here just to find out the details.
The cultivators who had lost a lot of spiritual stones inexplicably wanted to find out the truth.
It feels so unfair and frustrating to lose so clearly.
"What method did you use to win so easily?" Gu Zhenhao asked with a smile.
"I don't know either." Lin Mu said with a smile, "We were fighting fiercely and I had a slight upper hand. Du Xin suddenly stopped attacking and said he wanted to admit defeat. I suspected that there was deceit in his words and I didn't dare to do anything. Relax, I didn’t expect him to actually signal to the judge and voluntarily admit defeat.”
"Can't he beat you?" A cultivator next to him immediately asked, still unable to conceal his anger in his words.
He just deposited 60 million spiritual stones, and it was gone in the blink of an eye.
"Compared with his true strength, he is indeed inferior to me." Lin Mu said with a smile on his face, "Maybe it's because he didn't want to show off his trump cards and fight me desperately, and because his strength was indeed suppressed by me, he simply gave up. "
"Du Xinsi, it is difficult for most people to guess. No one knows what he is thinking." Gu Zhenhao congratulated, "But since he has given up, there is nothing to say. Losing is losing, winning is winning! Now you Just become the top 16, and then you can participate in the wheel battle! "
Lin Mu smiled and nodded.
Although the process was unexpected, the result was what he wanted most.
His goal was initially achieved.
In the next round of battles, he doesn't need to fight everyone every time, as long as he can rank in the top ten.
In other words, he has room to lose.
If you lose in the first five rounds, you will be eliminated.
Of course, to be among the top sixteen cultivators, every one of them has extremely strong strength and is a master of fighting. Once he relaxes, the outcome will be very different. He still has to try his best to win.
If you want to be in the top ten, you have to leave at least six people behind.
Among the fifteen cultivators, he had to defeat at least six.
There are very few cultivators who can enter the top sixteen, and those who are in the middle stage of integration. Most of the cultivators are already in the late stage of integration.
His current strength is equivalent to that of Du Xin in the middle stage of integration. He has no advantage at all against late-stage integration cultivators. If it continues for a long time, he will be at a disadvantage.
If you want to win, you can only rely on the Five Yin Thunder Beads.
However, once the Five Yin Thunder Beads are used, it means fighting with others.
The two tigers fought each other, killing and injuring each other.
In a wheel battle, there is more than one battle. After all considerations, in order to preserve strength, generally no one will fight tooth and nail.
Everyone's strength is about the same. Once they go all out, both sides will probably lose.
This is equivalent to giving other opponents an advantage.
Therefore, unless his opponent wants to fight him desperately, he cannot even use the Five Yin Thunder Beads.
Once used, although the probability of success is increased, there is also a risk of death.
The trump card of a cultivator in the late stage of integration may be much more powerful than the Five Yin Thunder Beads.
Thinking of the upcoming competition, Lin Mu couldn't help but start to worry.
If he cannot use the Five Yin Thunder Beads, with his current strength alone, he may have little hope of defeating at least six cultivators.
Especially since his cultivation level is only in the Void Return stage and his foundation is insufficient, he is even more at a disadvantage in a wheel battle.
The only solution now is to place hope on the Suixin Sword.
Lin Mu had no intention of talking to the cultivators around him anymore, so he said goodbye to everyone with a smile, and then returned to Yuelai Inn with Gu Zhenhao.
Du Xin flew down from the battle stage, unknowingly watching the discussions among the cultivators, and left in a hurry.
Arriving in front of a quiet courtyard in the city, Du Xin lowered his figure, danced with his fingers, and played several spells.
The ban in front of the small courtyard kept shaking, and the fog rolled in.
After a while, the white mist dispersed, a path appeared, and the courtyard door opened.
A cultivator in green with sword-shaped eyebrows and star-like eyes, standing in front of the door.
"Brother!" Du Xin said straight to the point, "My opponent this round is Lin Mu, and I take the initiative to admit defeat."
Du Cheng smiled and said: "Since you admit defeat, you have your reasons. Tell me, what are your plans?"
He had told Du Xin more than once that entering the top sixteen would greatly improve his own strength. This time Du Xin finally entered the fifth round, and his opponent was Lin Mu, who was in the limelight. Logically speaking, he would have to give it a try. , he was very sure of winning, but Du Xin took the initiative to admit defeat.
He was very relieved about his younger brother.
Since Du Xin did this, he must have had his plan.
"Lin Mu killed Liao Shu before and got three Five Yin Thunder Beads." Du Xin said with a gloomy face, "I use my trump card, and the chance of winning is only about 50%. If I don't do it well, I will die. I don't think this is right. worth."
"So that's it." Du Cheng said with a smile, "Since he is in the top sixteen, leave it to me, and I will help you get rid of this bad breath!"
"There is no need." Du Xin waved his hand and said, "You might get hit hard one on one with him. After all, he has three Five Yin Thunder Beads."
"What do you mean?" Du Cheng couldn't help but ask.
"We can secretly attack him after the Mine Lode Competition Conference and find a few friends to deal with him together!"
"Or during the wheel battle, look for opportunities to see if he comes out alone and wait for an opportunity to strike." Du Xin said sinisterly, "There is no need to fight him alone!"
