Perhaps it was a change of nature, or perhaps it was deliberate. Regardless, it could not change the current reality.
The pitter-patter of rain fell from the sky. The sky was covered with dark clouds, dark and gloomy, as if it was about to collapse, making the valley even more depressing.
Whether it was the forest, the river, or the swamp, as long as it was within the range of the valley, it was all covered by heavier and heavier raindrops. The rain gradually became a torrential downpour.
As the torrential rain poured down, bean-sized raindrops fell and landed on the tree leaves, emitting 'pa pa' sounds. The raindrops rose and fell one after another, linking together into one, causing the originally dim forest to become even dimmer. This affected one's vision to a certain extent and also affected everyone's judgement.
In such an environment, the difficulty of using all kinds of skills was obviously increased.
The appearance of spirit beasts was even more dangerous.
With the Protective Sword Aura, it ensured that they would not be drenched by the torrential downpour, but the countless dense raindrops interfered with their judgment.
Chu Mu hid on a tall tree, at the densest part of the branches and leaves, as if he had become one with the branches and leaves. He closed his eyes and stimulated the [Sword Listening] to the extreme.
The sound of raindrops falling on the leaves, on the tree trunk, and on the ground alternated. When it fell into the ears, it was like a unique melody.
It was even more difficult to distinguish the sounds related to the swordsmen of the Human Clan in such an interfered environment. For Chu Mu, it was a great challenge.
No one knew how long the torrential downpour would last. Most of the elite recruits chose to hide temporarily, because moving in the torrential downpour would undoubtedly increase the consumption of energy.
However, after a day, the torrential downpour showed no signs of abating, but the temperature of the air dropped significantly. An ordinary person would directly be frozen to death. Even the Sword Of Gojoseon felt the chill invading his body, accelerating the consumption of his body heat.
"This group of recruits don't know that the torrential downpour will continue until the end of the confrontation." In the headquarters, the battalion commander, deputy battalion commander, and the battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders of the various sub-battalions all let out unscrupulous laughter.
In front of them, there were hundreds of interfaces, and each interface clearly displayed every elite recruit. For example, Chu Mu was hiding in the dense branches of the giant trees, some were hiding in the cracks of the rocks, some were hiding in the bushes, and some were hiding in the soil as if they were hiding in the earth, etc.
The battalion commanders were evaluating everyone's concealment abilities.
Based on the performance of each new recruit, the battalion commanders would give a score in their hearts. These scores would be used in the end.
"It looks like this storm won't stop anytime soon." Chu Mu thought to himself. He didn't immediately take action. His goal was the top three, Starlight, Haoyue, and Blazing Sun.
But now, only one day had passed. There were still four days until the end of the confrontation. Even if there was a battle, the elite recruits still had a lot of strength left. Chu Mu planned to wait until the last day before taking action.
There were quite a few elite recruits who had the same idea as Chu Mu, but the majority of them had already taken action.
Different personalities determined different ways of doing things.
Chu Mu, who was hiding, didn't even notice a green snake spirit beast winding on the tree trunk. This made the eyes of many battalion commanders light up, and they gave Chu Mu high marks for his concealment.
Chu Mu also didn't pay attention to the green snake spirit beast, because it gave him the feeling that it wouldn't be easy to deal with. Even if he killed it, he wouldn't get any Soldier Qi.
The green snake spirit beast wound its way over Chu Mu's shoulder, and didn't notice that Chu Mu was actually a living person.
At this time, his heartbeat seemed to have stopped, and the flow of his blood seemed to have stopped. His whole body felt cold, as if he had entered a state of hibernation. This state reduced all of Chu Mu's consumption to the lowest.
Other people who chose to continue hiding like Chu Mu, but no one could do what Chu Mu did. Even the battalion commander secretly nodded.
"An outstanding recruit." The battalion commander said in a low voice.
"Indeed, this is something that many veterans can't do." The deputy battalion commander also nodded, because that required absolute control of one's body.
In terms of body control, if Chu Mu was ranked second among the recruits, no one could be ranked first.
Right now, Chu Mu was also in a strange state. He could feel all the movements around him, but it also felt like he was separated from the surrounding environment, leaving the world and becoming an independent entity. It also felt like he had merged with the surrounding environment. A very contradictory feeling arose spontaneously.
It was as if his soul was out of his body.
He vaguely understood that this state was rare. Even if someone passed by below, Chu Mu didn't make the slightest movement.
For the first time, he had such an experience. He looked down at himself from a certain height, and understood everything about himself more deeply.
Chu Mu didn't know how he entered this state. He just tried his best to restrain all the fluctuations of his aura, consciously controlling the beating of his heart and the flow of his blood. He also used the Listening Sword to carefully observe the movements around him. Under the rhythm of the falling raindrops, he gradually entered this state.
The feeling of having complete control over every part of his body made Chu Mu addicted to it, unable to extricate himself.
Time passed little by little, and the rain was still pouring down. Some people obtained Soldier Qi, and some were defeated and eliminated. Whenever someone was defeated and eliminated, the corresponding interface in the battalion would close and disappear.
There were originally 320 interfaces, but now more than 100 had disappeared, leaving more than 200.
The second day passed, and another part of the interface disappeared. The third day passed, and another part of the interface disappeared. The fourth day passed …
The last day was also the fifth day. Those who were hiding left their hiding places and took action. They preserved more strength.
Although he was a little reluctant, Chu Mu still got out of this strange state. This was the last day.
It was as if his soul had returned to his body. At first, he felt a little strange, but after moving a little, his heart seemed to have recovered, and his blood flowed again. He quickly mastered it.
After 15 minutes, Chu Mu had complete control over his body. He also felt that his control over his body seemed to have improved to a new level.
"My Sword Origin is at the Third Sky of Fate realm. My physical strength can also fight against a four-star Sword Of Gojoseon. The power of my divine thoughts is at the level of a six-star Sword Of Gojoseon …" Carefully feeling his remaining strength, Chu Mu was secretly delighted.
He hadn't fought for a long time, and by chance, he entered that strange state, which reduced the consumption of his strength to the minimum. That was why Chu Mu could retain more strength.
With a thought, his body left the trunk and landed lightly. This feeling of being able to do as he pleased was stronger than before. It was a direct reflection of the improvement in his control over his body.
With a thought, Chu Mu could control his heartbeat at will. It could slow down or speed up. The speed of his blood flow was also completely under his control.
In addition to the above improvement, Chu Mu also found that when he performed Sword Sight or Sword Hearing, he had a feeling of transcendence. It was as if he had surpassed the previous perfection and reached a higher level.
His survival ability soared.
In the middle of the action, Chu Mu suddenly stopped. In an instant, the Undying Sacred Sword appeared in his hand. He quickly slashed to the right. The tip of the sword swept past a few raindrops, cutting them in the middle. As the reflected light flickered, a figure suddenly appeared under Chu Mu's sword. It seemed to have appeared out of thin air, and it took the initiative to collide with his sword.
This sword was infused with all kinds of power. Under the head-on attack, the figure was directly knocked down.
"How … how did you know …" The unlucky elite recruit who was knocked down by Chu Mu was an eight-star Sword Of Gojoseon. He was lurking nearby and happened to catch a glimpse of Chu Mu passing by. He planned to attack, but the attack failed and he was defeated.
Chu Mu didn't talk nonsense with him. He directly plundered his opponent's Soldier Aura. There were four of them. Chu Mu suddenly had five Soldier Aura.
After getting the Soldier Aura, he quickly left. His performance was seen by many of the battalion commanders.
"What a fast reaction!" A battalion commander exclaimed.
"It should be a very keen intuition," the chief commander whispered. The Main Battalion Commander said in a low voice. Through an interface, what one could see was limited. For example, when Chu Mu used his sword strength before, due to the cover of the grass and the interface, it wasn't clear. Therefore, no one knew that he had grasped a second level sword strength.
But some people, like the chief commander, had sharp eyes.
He pondered, as if he was about to make a decision.
Chu Mu knew that the reason why he could defeat the eight-star Sword Of Gojoseon with one sword was that he entered that special state, which made his spirit, qi and spirit sublimated, and that he consumed little energy, while his opponent's energy was greatly depleted. In addition, his opponent intended to attack him, but he didn't expect that he would be detected.
Next, Chu Mu met his second opponent, a seven-star Sword Of Gojoseon. He easily defeated him and took two Soldier Auras.
The third opponent was a powerful nine-star Sword Of Gojoseon. His attainment in body refining was even higher than Chu Mu's. Chu Mu fought with him and found that he couldn't defeat him, so he made a prompt decision to retreat.
The nine-star Sword Of Gojoseon's energy was greatly depleted. He didn't chase after Chu Mu because Chu Mu was too fast.
After escaping quickly, Chu Mu breathed a sigh of relief and continued to look for clues in stealth to find his target.
The elite recruits who participated in the single combat of the battalion were all very outstanding. Those who could last until the fifth day could be regarded as the best of the best. After all, even if they were hiding, it was not necessarily safe.
As for the cooperation with Li Yunfeng and Du Kui, it didn't happen, because Chu Mu had been hiding for four days. Now he didn't know whether Li Yunfeng and Du Kui were still in the valley or had been eliminated.
Time continued to pass and another half a day passed. There was only half a day left until the end. Chu Mu was a bit anxious because he didn't obtain much soldier aura.
