Chapter 375 - Contestants

Lin Mu had a different thing in his mind when he had thought of a stage for the martial competition. But when he saw the set up, he was rather surprised.

"Well… this is… rather simple." Lin Mu said upon seeing the plain stone platform that was surrounded by around two hundred seats.

"It is not really a harsh competition and is more for displaying the skills of their various powers. Thus there is no reason to get expensive materials to make it. Even if this sustains damage, we can just replace it." Wu Hei replied.

"Wait, I just realized… there's no prize for winning this?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Well, there are a few prizes of course. But its just monetary rewards, I doubt brother Mu Lin would even like them." Wu Hei answered.

"Looks like mother is calling us." Wu Teng said as a slight frown appeared on his face.

"Better to be quick than to make her wait. She's already angry with you elder brother." Wu Hei said before walking ahead.

Lin Mu walked beside Wu Hei and Wu Teng followed behind them, a couple of steps slower. They climbed the steps of the seating area and reached the top level where they were greeted by the people of the Tri cauldron peony sect.

"Ah! Even lord Mu Lin is here. What a wonderful surprise, I thought you left us since I didn't see
