The captain of the Sword Edge, Li Duan, who was also one of the two deputy commanders of the Sword Edge Judgement Army, stood at the head of the table. He looked around and said calmly, "This is the allocation of the recruits. Do you have any objections?"
"I have no objections," said Helian Cheng, the chief of the Wind Department.
"I have no objections either," said Han Dangkong, the chief of the Town Department.
"I … I have objections," said Yun Feng, the chief of the Combat Department.
"Chief Yun, what objections do you have?" Li Duan's gaze landed on Yun Feng's face as he asked.
"Deputy Commander, you know that the responsibilities of our combat department can be life-threatening at any time," said Yun Feng. Yun Feng said, "What we need are elites, true elites. Only with sufficient strength can they survive and complete the mission. If they are not strong enough, not only will they lose their lives, they will also be a burden to others."
"Continue," said Li Duan with a smile.
"Deputy Commander, I have already made myself clear," said Yun Feng helplessly. "You have your reasons for recruiting a recruit who is only at the Fourth Sky of Creation Realm into the Sword Edge Judgement Army, but you cannot give him to our combat department."
Yun Feng had already made himself very clear.
He despised Chu Mu because his cultivation was too low and was not qualified to enter the combat department. He would become a burden to the combat department.
"He is the recipient of the Best Recruit Medal," said Li Duan casually.
"What!"
"The Best Recruit Medal!"
The three chiefs of the Town Department and the Wind Department were all stunned.
The Best Recruit Medal was very valuable. It represented the potential of the recipient. Among all the recruits, it could be said that the recipient was one of the best. Moreover, not every recruit with the greatest potential could receive the medal. They needed the approval of the Battalion Commander.
The Battalion Commander's judgment was very sharp, and his requirements were very high. To be awarded the Best Recruit Medal by him, it was enough to show how great the potential of the recipient was.
"A recruit who is only at the Fourth Sky of Creation Realm is the recipient of the Best Recruit Medal …" The chiefs of the three departments still found it hard to believe.
"That's right. Do you still not plan to let him join the combat department?" asked Li Duan.
"Even if he is the winner of the Best Recruit Medal and has amazing potential, his own cultivation is too low. When carrying out a mission, he will also become a burden." Yun Feng hesitated but still said. Because he was the head of a battalion, he knew the responsibilities and dangers of a battalion. The most important thing in a battalion was strength. Direct strength. Everything else was secondary.
It would be great if Chu Mu's cultivation was higher. If he was at the Sixth Heaven of Creation Realm, he would probably be able to match or even defeat an ordinary Seven Star Sword Of Gojoseon and qualify to join the combat division.
Yun Feng was also very reluctant to reject Chu Mu. After all, he was the winner of the Best Recruit Award.
"The battalion doesn't want it, but our town division wants it," the town division chief, Han Dangkong, immediately said.
"Our Wind Division wants it too." Helian Cheng hurriedly added.
The head of the combat division, Yun Feng, was very upset. In fact, he also wanted Chu Mu to join the combat division, but he was helpless. Chu Mu's cultivation was too low and could not carry out a mission.
The town division was different from the wind division. The town division's duty was to guard the Sword Edge Ship and rarely went out to battle. In theory, it was the safest of the three divisions and should be the most suitable for Chu Mu. On the other hand, the wind division's duty was to search for information and so on. In terms of safety, it was only slightly inferior to the town division and much safer than the combat division.
Recruits with great potential like Chu Mu were their favorite. It did not matter if their cultivation was low. At most, they would not carry out any missions for the time being and cultivate properly. After improving, they would be able to become the pillars of their respective divisions.
Therefore, the town division and the wind division chiefs wanted Chu Mu to join their divisions.
Li Duan did not agree to this. Instead, he said, "Let Chu Mu decide for himself."
…
"Quick, quick, quick. There's a recruit who wants to sweep through the sword combat area."
"What? So savage!"
"He is indeed a savage recruit. I heard that Wei Jiangying, He Jiansheng, and Shang Wuyi were all defeated by his sword."
Chu Mu caused a frenzy in the sword combat area. Once the news spread out, when everyone heard that a four-star Sword Of Gojoseon was sweeping through the sword combat area, the veterans were all alarmed. They all left the residential area and headed towards the sword combat area.
On the arena, Chu Mu was still controlling the Ancient Rhythm Sword Puppet. He was fighting fiercely with a sword puppet that used a thin sword called Wind Thorn.
The one controlling the Frenzy Shark Sword Puppet was a nine-star Sword Of Gojoseon. His name was Shang Guan Hua. It was a slightly feminine name, but he was actually a man. However, due to his handsome appearance, people would mistake him for a woman at first glance. Unlike Wei Jiangying and the others who had been defeated by Chu Mu, he was one of the vice-captains of the eighth combat division. He was very famous in the Sword Edge Ship.
A thin sword, under Shang Guan Hua's control, was extremely exquisite. Every sword was aimed at the pinnacle. It was as if it was made by nature.
Each sword seemed slow, and even the trajectory could be seen clearly. However, it was actually extremely fast. Those trajectories were merely the remnants of the sword shadows.
The sword art that Shang Guan Hua was using was called Shadow Sword Art. It was a powerful earth class peak-tier sword art. Although Shang Guan Hua was using the sword puppet's power to control the sword puppet and not the swordsman's sword intent, rule power, and sword energy, he had already grasped the essence of Shadow Sword Art. Once he used it, each sword would leave behind a shadow and each sword would take a life.
The Wind Thorn Sword Puppet under Shang Guan Hua's control immediately brought great pressure to Chu Mu.
The duel between sword puppets was mainly a duel between sword arts. It included the attainment of sword arts and the power of sword arts. Other than that, there was also a duel between Swords of Divine Will.
However, the duel between Swords of Divine Will was not obvious.
The sword art that Shang Guan Hua was using was an earth class peak-tier sword art. He had been immersed in it for decades and had grasped the essence of it deeply. He had already reached the point where he was not limited to the moves. He was able to unleash the essence of Shadow Sword Art with a casual strike. Every sword was Shadow Sword and each sword was extremely powerful. He could unleash 100% or even 120% of his power.
On the other hand, Chu Mu had cultivated several sword arts. The highest was earth class peak-tier sword art, which was inferior to Shadow Sword Art in terms of grade. Moreover, he had only cultivated it for a short period of time. Chu Mu had only practiced the sword moves until he was proficient. There was still a considerable gap between him and mastering the essence of it.
If it were anyone else, they would have been easily defeated by Shang Guan Hua's Shadow Sword Art. The reason why Chu Mu was able to hold on until now and was only at a disadvantage in the past 15 minutes was due to his superb attainment in sword arts.
Yes, in terms of the foundation of sword arts, Chu Mu was above Shang Guan Hua. This was because sword arts were the sublimation of sword arts. Chu Mu's sword arts were even difficult for some sword saints to match.
However, the foundation of sword arts was not everything. It was not a direct demonstration of strength. It was only a kind of foundation, a very important foundation.
Chu Mu was shocked by Shangguan Hua's sword technique, and Shangguan Hua was also shocked by Chu Mu's sword technique. Up until now, Chu Mu had used many sword techniques to fight against her. Among them, there were two sword techniques that he had grasped the essence of. As for the other sword techniques, he could only be considered to have familiarized himself with the sword techniques. Even so, when he used them alternately, there was a feeling of turning something rotten into something magical. He was able to fight against her for half an hour, but was still at a disadvantage.
"What a brilliant sword art attainment. It is actually above mine." Shang Guan Hua was very shocked. "Only a swordsman who has comprehended the essence of sword arts and mastered sword force can have such attainment."
However, he immediately rejected this thought because he felt that a mere four-star Sword Of Gojoseon could not have mastered sword force.
Even for him, who was talented in sword arts and had received guidance from a powerful expert, which allowed him to avoid many detours. He had been immersed in sword arts for dozens of years. However, he was still a step away from comprehending the essence of sword arts.
Under the huge pressure, Chu Mu became excited. Such an opponent, such a battle, could stimulate his potential.
The 18 Gale Swords and 32 Gale and Thunder Swords were the sword arts that Chu Mu liked. He had also immersed himself in these two sword arts for the longest time. After comprehending the essence of sword arts, he had grasped the essence of these two sword arts.
In addition, the biggest use of the Five Elements Sword Arts was to cultivate the power of the five elements. In terms of battle, it was slightly lacking. Chu Mu had only familiarized himself with the moves of the Cloud Cover Sword Art, Thunderclap Cloud Shattering Sword Art, and Mountain Sea Sword Art. However, he had already cultivated the Autumn Water Long Sky Sword Art to the extreme. He was only a step away from the essence.
At this moment, under the pressure of Shang Guan Hua's Sword Piercing Puppet, Chu Mu's sword art became more and more profound.
The fierce battle had already lasted for a quarter of an hour. Out of the nine Sword Battle Arenas, there was not a single person in sight. Everyone had been attracted by the battle. Hundreds of people surrounded the Sword Battle Arena, watching the battle with wide eyes.
"What a terrifying newcomer."
"He has already defeated thirteen people in a row. Now, he can actually fight with vice-captain Shang Guan for so long."
"As expected of the winner of the Best Recruit Medal."
"With his sword art, I estimate that in a real battle, a five-star Sword Of Gojoseon won't be his opponent. Whether a six-star Sword Of Gojoseon can defeat him is still unknown." Although they felt that this was a very fair evaluation, they didn't know that it was far from the truth. Because Chu Mu was stronger.
"What? Let me tell you. When Chu Mu was a Samsung Sword Of Gojoseon, he defeated more than a dozen five-star Sword Of Gojoseon." A newcomer said. After the news spread out, many new recruits knew about it.
"A Samsung Sword Of Gojoseon defeated a five-star Sword Of Gojoseon? Is it true? Is he that strong?"
It was already difficult to defeat someone who was one star level higher. It was unimaginable to defeat someone who was two stars higher.
Shang Guan Hua was indeed incomparably tyrannical. The speed of her sword had increased by another step, increasing the pressure on Chu Mu. A wound appeared on the Ancient Rhythm Sword Puppet's chest.
Chu Mu's mind moved, and the Ancient Rhythm Sword Puppet's left hand grabbed backwards, instantly pulling out the sword on its back.
Dual swords in hand. This was also the reason why Chu Mu chose this sword puppet. At the crucial moment, it could use dual swords.
"Dual swords, could it be that he is proficient in dual swords?"
"I thought he just chose randomly."
Seeing the Ancient Rhythm Sword Puppet controlled by Chu Mu holding two swords in each hand, everyone's eyes widened. They were even more surprised.
