Zhao Mu encountered Lin Meier and the others here, but it didn't matter to him at all.
In his eyes, everyone was just points.
Zhao Mu was like a phantom in the dark night; his speed was too fast. Chu Nan didn't even have time to react before the heavy halberd struck him, sending him flying forward and plunging headfirst into the ashes.
"Pu ha!"
Blood spurted from his mouth. The 50-jin heavy halberd had caused internal injuries. He struggled on the ground a few times but couldn't stand up.
"The heavenly halberd... He's Zhao Mu!"
A Trial Participant pointed at Zhao Mu, a look of dread appearing in his eyes.
Zhao Mu was slightly surprised: "Oh? You recognize me?"
Since when did he become so famous?
The expressions of the few Trial Participants had already turned serious.
"I was there when you fought Wu Gang before."
That Trial Participant said in a low voice.
After the flames rose, many people nearby approached the area to scout.
He had personally witnessed Zhao Mu defeat the Giant Wu Gang like a ferocious beast. That sheer power made him realize he was no match for Zhao Mu.
When Lin Meier saw Zhao Mu, her eyes clearly brightened.
She raised her slender jade hand, covered her mouth, and laughed softly, brazenly sizing up Zhao Mu from head to toe.
"Are you Zhao Mu? First place in the Written Exam, and so powerful in the Martial Trial too. I've grown a little fond of you!"
She opened her arms toward Zhao Mu. Her fair arms shone with a rosy luster under the firelight, looking exceptionally alluring.
"Let's not be enemies, okay? Let's be friends! Having more friends means more paths!"
"Besides, being friends with this elder sister has many benefits, you know!"
She smiled sweetly. It had to be said that her face was genuinely beautiful.
Although she wore exquisite makeup, her facial features were inherently excellent, and her deliberately sexy attire made people unsure where to look.
But when Zhao Mu saw her, only one thought came to his mind: the more beautiful a woman is, the more she likes to lie.
When Shen Moran saw Lin Meier seducing Zhao Mu, she felt a bit annoyed for some reason.
Even though they had broken up, seeing another woman flirt with her ex-boyfriend caused her subconscious possessiveness to act up.
"Shameless."
She cursed under her breath.
Zhao Mu had already taken in the positions of the few people in front of him. One down, four remaining.
"I'm terribly sorry, I'm allergic to Green Tea."
Zhao Mu replied with a faint smile.
Lin Meier's expression suddenly froze. This was the first time her charm had failed to work on a man.
If Zhao Mu were a mature man, it might be understandable, but he was only eighteen! Eighteen was the age when hormones were surging and young men craved beautiful women.
Normally, she only needed to beckon, and the other party should obediently rush over!
"Little Brother," Lin Meier smiled, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes, "You're being disobedient! Disobedient children need to be properly disciplined!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the three Trial Participants beside her immediately charged towards Zhao Mu.
Zhao Mu raised his hands, Spiritual Power condensing around his feet and hands, while a streak of azure light enveloped the heavenly halberd!
"Fight!"
Zhao Mu was like a fierce tiger descending the mountain. The heavy heavenly halberd was gripped tightly in his palm, yet it didn't feel clumsy at all, and it cleaved down fiercely, wrapped in Spiritual Power!
The techniques for using a Heavy Weapon are simpler than those for light weapons; just ordinary chopping, swinging, smashing, and crushing can unleash terrifying power!
The one rushing at the front was a Combat Level 4 Spirit Energy User. When the heavenly halberd descended, he still tried to block it with the Long Staff in his hand.
But when the weapons collided, he realized how naive his idea was!
The Long Staff was instantly knocked away, his hands were covered in blood, and his body was violently thrown backward!
The moment he fell to the ground, enduring the intense pain in his hands, he shouted: "Don't engage him in Close Combat! His strength is terrifying!"
The remaining two were startled, but it was already too late to create distance.
Zhao Mu had already arrived in front of them, reversing the heavenly halberd and sweeping it out fiercely!
The weapons of the two men flew away just as quickly as they were raised; the clash of strength was not even on the same level!
Three opponents were knocked flying in an instant, all suffering serious injuries.
Seeing this, Lin Meier's eyes narrowed. She flashed forward directly toward Zhao Mu, reaching behind her back to pull out a Long Whip.
"Snap!"
The air exploded with a sharp sound. The Long Whip extended over ten meters and lashed towards Zhao Mu's head!
A Soft Weapon!
The Long Whip is a weapon rarely used because it is extremely difficult to master.
Zhao Mu's heavenly halberd was over two meters long, but the opponent's whip had a longer attack range than his.
Zhao Mu's gaze sharpened. He dodged the strike, and the Long Whip landed fiercely on the ground, nearly grazing him!
The Long Whip retracted like a spiritual snake, and moments later, it lashed out at Zhao Mu again from an extremely tricky angle.
In this situation, closing the distance was extremely difficult.
Zhao Mu's mind raced, and he quickly thought of a countermeasure.
When the next whip strike came, Zhao Mu didn't dodge again. Instead, he condensed Spiritual Power onto his left hand and grabbed the Long Whip!
A look of astonishment appeared on Lin Meier's face.
Zhao Mu actually caught her attack!
Xu Zhixiong chuckled, crossing his arms as he commented, "He condensed a large amount of Spiritual Power onto his left hand, increasing its defense. Now the Long Whip's advantage is completely lost. Next comes..."
The struggle for strength!
Zhao Mu tightened his grip on the Long Whip and suddenly exerted force!
In terms of raw strength, Lin Meier was not on the same level as Zhao Mu at all, and her body was dragged flying toward him!
"Ah!"
She cried out softly. Even the sound this woman made at a moment like this carried a hint of seductiveness.
But Zhao Mu remained unmoved. He knew that any distraction during the Trial could lead to him being eliminated—or even killed!
Lin Meier's body seemed to be dragged, but halfway through, she suddenly let go of the Long Whip, using the momentum to charge toward Zhao Mu.
Her left hand pulled a Dagger from her thigh, aiming to stab fiercely at Zhao Mu's chest!
Zhao Mu's hand lost strength, making his body unstable, but he braced the heavenly halberd on the ground, preventing himself from falling.
The woman in front of him had incredibly strange methods and kept using new moves, showing Zhao Mu the extraordinary nature of the Geniuses in this Trial.
But that was all.
He leaned his body back. Lin Meier's aerial attack was awkward, and Zhao Mu kicked her abdomen!
He used all his strength in that kick, sending Lin Meier flying four or five meters away.
She slammed heavily onto the ground, unable to even cry out for a moment. Instead, she spat out a large mouthful of blood, then clutched her stomach, struggling to stand up with a pale face.
"I can't... fall down here. I don't want to go to the Front Line as cannon fodder, or become a tool for men to bear children."
She stumbled, but Zhao Mu's kick was so powerful that her body was shaking uncontrollably.
"I, Lin Meier, must become a major figure!"
She struggled to her feet, her weapons gone, yet she insisted on looking at Zhao Mu.
Then, she smiled brightly, reached out, and began to undo her clothes.
