Change the Rules

Xu Mu looked at the young man walking towards him from a distance; he looked very ordinary.

Ordinary looks, ordinary height, ordinary hairstyle, with a long sword on his back.

The scabbard of this sword was different from ordinary ones; at the end of the scabbard, it had a conical shape, which could also be used for fighting.

When he first saw this person, Xu Mu's brain hadn't reacted yet. After checking the other party's name through the Eye of God, he finally remembered.

"So it's Brother Ordinary... No, Wang Fugui!"

Xu Mu had met this person before when he went to the tomb of the Jiuli tribe.

At that time, Xu Mu was very surprised. This ordinary-looking guy had a Destiny Level of five and was a disciple of Kunlun Mountain. He felt that he was unusual at that time.

Now his Destiny Level had reached level six; he was indeed very strong.

"I didn't expect you to remember my name. It's really my honor."

Wang Fugui smiled and touched his head, showing an honest and simple smile.

"Wang Fugui, who doesn't know your name?"

Jiang Huihui glanced at him.

"Hehe! Miss Jiang, I'm really not that famous."

Wang Fugui chuckled.

"Now you should introduce your identity, right?"

Xu Mu looked at Wang Fugui in front of him.

"I am currently ranked sixth among the disciples of Kunlun Mountain."

Wang Fugui said with a smile, "Everyone only knows the eldest senior brother Jiang Cisui, and rarely even hears the name of the second senior brother, let alone me, the Old Sixth."

"I know you're pretending to be low-profile. I've always been accurate in judging people."

Xu Mu sat up from the lawn, smiled and asked, "What are you looking for me for this time? According to your personality, you wouldn't come over specifically to say hello, right?"

"You guessed right. I'm here to thank you this time. I heard that you knocked Huang Dazhuang down with one punch."

Wang Fugui showed that unique honest smile again, "In the last Martial Arts Championship, I was defeated by Huang Dazhuang. My master specifically asked me to come and thank you."

"Oh, so you are the apprentice of Senior Tian Ruyi?"

Xu Mu was a little surprised. No wonder Jiang Huihui knew him.

After all, her grandfather was quite familiar with Tian Ruyi.

"That's right, but this time, I will definitely win against him."

Wang Fugui smiled and clenched his fists.

"It looks like you are fully prepared. Don't let us meet in advance when the time comes."

Xu Mu looked at Wang Fugui and smiled.

"This is another reason why I came to find you."

Wang Fugui suddenly said, "This time, the rules of our competition have changed."

Hearing this, not only Xu Mu, but Jiang Huihui also looked at Wang Fugui in astonishment, "What do you mean? What have the rules changed to?"

"Simply put, the five major sects joined forces with other top-tier sects to discuss it. The previous battles were too mechanized and relatively speaking, not very fair."

Wang Fugui explained, "I'll give a simple example. For instance, my strength is inferior to yours, but stronger than everyone else. As a result, we met in the preliminaries, and you eliminated me. In the end, those weaker than me all ranked ahead of me."

"Regarding this matter, I remember when I watched the game before, the host said that luck is also a part of strength."

Tong Guoguo said over there.

"Yes, that was indeed the initial idea, but it lost a lot of talented potential."

Wang Fugui explained to Tong Guoguo, "Still the same example. For instance, my talent is very good, but my realm is only Gang Qi. But if I meet a Grandmaster at the beginning, no matter how strong I am, I will be instantly killed. Then what is there to show?"

"I seem to understand. Could it be that this competition is to be divided according to realm?"

Xu Mu smiled and guessed.

"Yes, Gang Qi is one group, Divine Power is one group, Grandmaster is one group, and the Transcendent realm advances directly. This way, everyone has a chance to show themselves and won't be instantly killed."

Wang Fugui explained, "Not only that, everyone also has the right to refuse two battles."

"In other words, if I am in the early stage of Grandmaster and meet a Grandmaster in the perfect stage, I can choose to refuse?"

Jiang Huihui looked at Wang Fugui and asked.

"Yes, you can do it once or twice, but not three times. In the same major realm, refusing to fight twice in a row proves that one's strength is indeed lacking."

Wang Fugui smiled and nodded, "My second purpose in coming here is that I don't want to meet Brother Xu too early."

Xu Mu rubbed his chin, "Understood. Then who among us will use the right to refuse? After all, everyone can only use it twice."

"If we both have two chances left, I will use mine. If I only have one left, I hope Brother Xu can use a refusal."

Wang Fugui scratched his head, "My master said that my remaining chance is to prevent meeting Miss Jiang."

"Okay, I promise."

Xu Mu thought for a moment. With his current realm, he could easily slaughter among Grandmasters.

Unless he met Meng Wanyue, Dai Xingluo, and Jiang Huihui.

As for Xu Ningbing, if according to this rule, they wouldn't meet either.

If Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo met Wang Fugui, Xu Mu would also let them choose to abstain.

Not to mention that Wang Fugui's strength had already reached the peak of the mid-stage Grandmaster, just based on the fact that he was not associated with anyone and possessed a level six Destiny, he was destined to be an extraordinary person.

"Thank you, Brother Xu."

After Wang Fugui finished speaking, he turned and left.

Xu Mu watched Wang Fugui walk away, smiled and shook his head, "It's really strange. Why didn't this Wang Fugui discuss this matter with his senior and junior brothers, but specifically came to find me?"

"His relationship with his senior and junior brothers is not very good. I heard my grandfather mention this person."

Jiang Huihui blew a bubble, "He travels outside to gain experience almost all year round, and is an invisible person in Kunlun Mountain. He doesn't care about internal rankings at all, but only achieved amazing results in the last Martial Arts Championship when he was less than twenty years old."

"Less than twenty? Then this person has a very strong talent."

Tong Guoguo was full of surprise.

Xu Mu wasn't surprised. After all, he had such a high Destiny Level.

"These major sects are really scheming. Nothing is easy to earn these days."

Xu Mu sighed softly.

Jiang Huihui asked, "What do you mean?"

"This new rule is indeed not bad, everyone has a chance to show themselves, but the right to give up fighting twice is full of thoughts."

Xu Mu stretched forcefully and stood up from the grass.

"I seem to understand what you mean. These two abstentions are mainly to prevent their own sects from fighting each other."

Tong Guoguo's eyes lit up.

"Yes, the overall strength of the major sects is definitely stronger than others. According to this logic, those who can rank in the front are highly likely to be experts from the five major sects."

Xu Mu nodded gently, "In the end, those so-called heavenly materials and earthly treasures, to put it bluntly, are still fought over internally by themselves."

"That makes sense."

Jiang Huihui said to herself.

...

Lying here all the time, Xu Mu also felt a bit bored, so he decided to take a casual look around.

Tong Guoguo was not very interested in Kunlun Mountain and went back to the building alone to play with her phone.

Xu Mu could only stroll around with Jiang Huihui.

Not long after they walked, Xu Mu felt a bit helpless, "Looking for trouble with us again. These guys from the Strength Court seem very unconvinced."
