Chu Mu came from the Zhen Tian School. Aside from sword techniques, he was most proficient in the power of vibrations.
The Inch Step was slightly related to the power of vibrations. For other swordsmen, the entry level was like a natural chasm. However, for Chu Mu, it was extremely easy.
Ten thousand Inferior Grade Primal Cores and rented a room for ten days. Aside from the first two days he used to comprehend the two Earth Grade Sword Techniques, he used the remaining eight days to cultivate the Inch Step.
His comprehension was outstanding, and his grasp of vibrations surpassed countless people. After eight days of bitter training, Chu Mu's grasp of the Inch Step surpassed Yan Hui's. What he lacked now was actual combat to test the results of his cultivation.
After leaving the room, Chu Mu first went to the Sword Forging Room. He spent half a day and some Primal Cores to repair the Five Phase Sword before leaving the Sky Sword Camp. Yan Feng stared at Chu Mu's back from afar. The bad feeling in his heart grew stronger. It had already been ten days, but his elder brother Yan Hui had not returned. Something was wrong.
With this thought, Yan Feng turned and left.
Chu Mu did not see Yan Feng. Due to the restriction of his strength, his five senses were also affected. Although he could vaguely feel someone staring at him from afar, he did not know who it was.
With the idea of trying the Inch Step, Chu Mu felt a little excited. He quickly left the Sky Sword Camp and entered the Purgatory again.
With his five senses raised to the limit, Chu Mu could feel all the movements in the surroundings.
After entering the fourth floor of the Swordless Purgatory, Chu Mu walked towards the whirlpool door of the fifth floor. He did not purposely create any commotion, nor did he restrain the sound of his footsteps. He just went with the flow.
As he walked, he indeed encountered two Purgatory Demonic Beasts. They were two Purgatory Werewolves.
If it were before, Chu Mu would definitely avoid the three Purgatory Werewolves of the fourth floor. He was not afraid of a one-on-one, but a one-on-two would be dangerous. The Purgatory Werewolves of the fourth floor were much stronger than the Purgatory Werewolves of the third floor.
Looking at their taller bodies and stronger muscles, as well as their darker fur and sharp claws, Xiao Chen knew that these Purgatory Werewolves were not to be trifled with.
However, the more powerful a Purgatory Magical Beast was, the higher the probability of condensing Essence Source.
Among the Purgatory Magical Beasts, the Purgatory Werewolf was the most powerful one that Chu Mu had encountered so far.
The Purgatory Werewolves' sense of smell was very sharp, and they had long discovered Chu Mu. With a howl, they sprinted towards him from both sides. The fiendish aura rushed over, making Chu Mu's scalp tingle.
The Five Phase Swords were unsheathed. Although they were not as good as before after being repaired, the difference was not too great. They could barely cut through the Purgatory Lycan's fur.
Under the Purgatory Werewolf's burst of power, its speed was astonishingly fast. It crossed the distance of thousands of meters in just a few breaths of time. Its sharp claws clawed out, and a cold light wreaked havoc.
Just as a claw tore through the sky and was about to tear apart Chu Mu's face, Chu Mu's upper body did not react at all. The muscles in his legs trembled, and his power erupted in an instant. He slid back and narrowly avoided the claw attack.
At the same time, the other Purgatory Werewolf's sharp claws also clawed at Chu Mu's ribs. If he was hit, his stomach would definitely be cut open.
Using the Inch Step, he could advance and retreat freely in a circle. He constantly dodged the attacks of the two Purgatory Werewolves. It was as if he was dancing on the tip of a knife, walking on a tightrope. If he was slightly careless, his stomach would be cut open, and he would become the Purgatory Werewolf's food.
Chu Mu was fully focused. He constantly used the Inch Step to dodge the Purgatory Werewolf's attacks in a circle. His body was sometimes low and sometimes slanted. Along with his footwork, the sword in his hand would sometimes block.
After eight days of hard training, Chu Mu had completely grasped the method of exerting force using the Inch Step. He only lacked actual combat experience. Now, facing two Purgatory Werewolves was extremely dangerous. If he was not careful, he would be killed. The pressure was immense. Pressure turned into motivation. Chu Mu's understanding of the Inch Step deepened continuously.
In the beginning, he still had to use the Five Phase Swords to block. As time went on, the Five Phase Swords gradually became idle. He could use the Inch Step to deal with the two Purgatory Werewolves.
Due to being tempered by the Wood Phase origin life force all year round, Chu Mu's body was even more resilient. The recovery speed of his physical strength was also much faster than other swordsmen. Even though he was greatly suppressed by the Swordless Purgatory's power, he was still better than other swordsmen.
Moreover, Chu Mu's application of the power of vibration was at its peak. Naturally, he knew how to better conserve his physical strength. Therefore, he could continue to deal with the two Purgatory Werewolves.
Unknowingly, a few hours had passed. Chu Mu's Inch Step became more and more refined. He felt that these few hours of cultivation had completely digested the eight days of accumulation and had improved.
No matter how the two Purgatory Werewolves attacked, they were all blocked or dodged by Chu Mu. They were extremely furious. The muscles all over their bodies swelled, and the speed of their claws increased. From time to time, they would open their mouths and bite Chu Mu, emitting a fishy smell.
Their teeth were cold and sharp. If bitten, the outcome would be very miserable. However, Chu Mu dodged them all.
"I've reached my limit." Chu Mu said to himself after using it a few times. The two Purgatory Werewolves could no longer bring him more pressure. The cultivation of the Inch Step ended here, and the counterattack began.
Under the coordination of the Inch Step, he unleashed the Gale Swift Sword. The fur of the fourth layer Purgatory Werewolves was very tough. After the damaged Five Phase Sword was repaired, its sharpness was slightly weaker. When it cut through the Purgatory Werewolf's fur, it was a little obscure, and the damage caused wasn't that obvious.
Fortunately, Chu Mu's eyesight was outstanding. He first focused on dealing with one Purgatory Werewolf. His sword greeted the wound, causing it to expand and deepen. It was so deep that the bone could be seen, and blood spurted out. Even if the Purgatory Werewolf's physique was tyrannical and could control the contraction of its muscles, it was difficult to stop the blood from spurting out.
The lethality wasn't enough. Fortunately, the Inch Step was amazing. After dodging, Chu Mu finally killed one Purgatory Werewolf. The pressure on him was greatly reduced. The other Purgatory Werewolf actually turned and ran away after being injured.
The Purgatory Werewolf's explosive speed was extremely fast. Chu Mu couldn't catch up for a while. Even if he did, he couldn't catch up. He could only watch as the Purgatory Werewolf left.
The Inch Step was indeed magical. Unfortunately, it had its limitations. It was only suitable for dodging in a small area. If it was used in a hurry, it would be fine for a short distance because of its explosive power and speed. But for a long distance, its disadvantages would show.
There were advantages and disadvantages. Chu Mu didn't have anything to regret.
After cutting open the Purgatory Werewolf's body, he found a piece of Essence Source and immediately consumed it. It turned into a clear stream that spread throughout his body. After a dozen breaths, it disappeared. Chu Mu felt that his body seemed to have been strengthened a little.
…
As Chu Mu continuously went deeper into the fourth layer of Swordless Purgatory and approached the whirlpool gate, he had also killed dozens of Purgatory Devil Beasts. The most dangerous time was when he faced six Purgatory Devil Beasts at the same time. One of them was a Purgatory Lycan.
Fortunately, his Inch Step had improved a little. At the price of a light injury, he successfully killed the six Purgatory Werewolves.
After killing dozens of Purgatory Werewolves, he only obtained three pieces of Essence Source. This made Chu Mu sigh at the low production rate of Essence Source.
Naturally, he also consumed all three pieces of Essence Source. His physique was strengthened a little, and his stamina increased.
Essence Source was the condensation of the Blood Qi of the Purgatory Werewolves. Every piece could strengthen a swordsman's physique. Although the effect was small, it didn't have any side effects. Furthermore, it could be consumed without limit. The effect wouldn't be weakened at all.
Unfortunately, it wasn't easy to obtain Essence Source.
The closer he got to the whirlpool door, the stronger the Purgatory Werewolves he encountered. Chu Mu was somewhat helpless. The sharpness of the Five Phase Swords was very difficult to deal heavy damage to the Purgatory Werewolves. He would often have to attack the same wound a few more times, widening and deepening the wound before he could kill them.
After many battles, Chu Mu suddenly had an idea, and that was to apply the Inch Step to his sword technique.
The specialty of the Inch Step was that it allowed him to move around in a small space. The instantaneous explosive power was extremely shocking, and his speed was several times faster than normal.
If he could apply the Inch Step to his sword technique, it would cause the instantaneous explosive power of each sword strike to increase by several times. He would definitely be able to kill the Purgatory Werewolves even more easily.
Although the Five Phase Swords' sharpness wasn't enough, their material wasn't bad. With enough power, they would be able to easily break through the Purgatory Werewolves' skin.
With this idea in mind, Chu Mu put it into action, directly comprehending it.
The cultivation of the Inch Step mainly focused on the exertion points of the leg muscles. When the various exertion points were combined, they would instantly erupt. It was related to the power of the vibration, but it wasn't the power of the vibration. It should be a disguised use of the power of the vibration. With Chu Mu's current physique, he was completely capable of enduring it.
If he wanted to apply the Inch Step to his sword technique, the first thing he had to overcome was the distribution and order of the exertion points. He had to shift them from the leg to the arm.
Because it was the arm that held the sword, and the sword strike was also led by the arm. Therefore, if he wanted to increase the power of his sword technique, he had to start from the root, and that was the arm.
The arm was different from the leg. It wasn't that easy to apply the exertion points to the arm. Chu Mu was also comprehending it as he advanced. It took him a lot of time to find an idea and try it out.
Chu Mu didn't enter the whirlpool gate on the fifth floor. He continued to search for Purgatory Werewolves on the fourth floor of the Swordless Purgatory. Because he wanted to test his idea, Chu Mu tried his best to avoid groups of Purgatory Werewolves. If there were three or four Purgatory Werewolves, he would first kill until there was only one left. Then he would slowly fight and experiment one by one, applying the exertion points to the arm.
Chu Mu didn't expect to be able to master it in a short time. That would be too easy and too nature-defying. Gradually, after straightening out his ideas, Chu Mu also figured out the first accurate exertion point.
It was just an exertion point. The feeling of increase wasn't obvious. It could even be said that there was no increase at all. Chu Mu wasn't in a hurry, because he couldn't perform the Inch Step even if he used the exertion points of the leg.
While Chu Mu was working hard on how to apply the Inch Step to his arm sword technique, Yan Feng also made a move.
