Tang Yan's two swords danced in the air like a violent storm. One sword, one move, one move, one sword. Under the Inch Step, Tang Yan displayed her sword techniques, but she was unable to hit Chu Mu. He was simply too agile.
"Brilliant!"
"In the past, when I watched Chu Mu's battles, I only felt that they were not bad. But now, I feel that they are soul-stirring." A 9 Star Sword Of Gojoseon exclaimed.
In the past, Chu Mu's opponents were only 7 Star Sword Of Gojoseon. At most, he was an 8 Star Sword Of Gojoseon. No matter how brilliant his battles were, in the eyes of a 9 Star Sword Of Gojoseon, it was still not enough.
It was like an adult strong man watching a child fight with exquisite skills. No matter how exquisite the child's skills were, it would be difficult for him to injure an adult strong man whose fighting skills were not inferior to his own and whose overall strength was far superior to his own. However, the adult strong man could easily defeat the child with great strength.
And now, Chu Mu's strength had reached the level of a 9 Star Sword Of Gojoseon. His opponent was also a 9 Star Sword Of Gojoseon. When they fought, even Hua Ye, a 9 Star pinnacle Sword Of Gojoseon, was shocked.
Fighting with a 9 Star Sword Of Gojoseon was also an excellent experience for Chu Mu. However, he discovered that it was very difficult to defeat an elite 9 Star Sword Of Gojoseon without using his 2nd rank sword force.
If he used his 2nd rank sword force, the power of his sword techniques would increase by three times. It should be enough to defeat an elite 9 Star Sword Of Gojoseon like Tang Yan. However, it would be difficult to kill her.
He treated Tang Yan as a whetstone to hone his sword techniques. It was a very depressing thing to be treated as a whetstone. After Tang Yan discovered it, they fought for a while more before decisively retreating from the battle. She gloomily said, "I'm not fighting anymore. You are really abnormal."
This sentence immediately caused a wave of laughter. Being called a pervert, Chu Mu didn't mind.
The members of the Eighth Battle Team were very happy. The stronger Chu Mu was, the better it was for the Eighth Battle Team.
After Tang Yan left, the members of the Eighth Battle Team started chatting.
The next day, Captain Dong Ting announced that he was going into seclusion. Everyone knew that Dong Ting was going into seclusion to make a breakthrough in his cultivation.
He had been stuck at the peak of the Ninth Firmament of Creation realm for more than ten years. After continuous accumulation, he had reached his limit.
After Dong Ting went into seclusion, the members of the Eighth Battle Team temporarily did not need to go on missions. Other than cultivating as usual, they had more topics to discuss. After Dong Ting had his breakthrough, he would leave the Sword Edge Ship and report to the Judgement Ship to become a member of the Judgement Ship.
Dong Ting was the captain of the Eighth Battle Team. Once he left, the captain's position would be vacant. Someone had to fill it.
The captain of the Eighth Battle Team was usually a member of the Eighth Battle Team. Only the two vice-captains were qualified to be the captain. Everyone was discussing whether Shangguan Hua or Hua Ye was qualified to be the captain.
The captain's position was not just a position. It was also a kind of glory and status. If there was a chance, no one would reject it.
Shangguan Hua and Hua Ye were also secretly competing with each other. They both wanted to be the team leader, but this competition was not obvious because Dong Ting had not really broken through yet. Moreover, they were brothers in the same team. They would not fall out with each other over the position of team leader.
Other than discussing whether Shangguan Hua or Hua Ye would be the captain, there were also people discussing who would be the vice-captain when the vice-captain's position was vacant.
"In my opinion, it should be Li Lianyun. He is very strong."
"No, I think it should be Min Qiang."
Everyone had their own opinions. They all had different candidates in mind.
Suddenly, an eight-star Sword Of Gojoseon said mysteriously, "There is one more person that you have all forgotten."
"Who?" Everyone asked.
"In our Eighth Battle Team, who has the lowest cultivation but the strongest potential? Moreover, his strength has increased the fastest. Now, he can already compete with a nine-star Sword Of Gojoseon?" The eight-star Sword Of Gojoseon showed off.
Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. They said the same name in unison, "Chu Mu!"
"That's right. It's Chu Mu. Although his cultivation is the lowest among us, his strength is obvious. He fought with Tang Yan a few days ago. Moreover, Chu Mu has not used his sword force yet. Once he uses his sword force, his strength will be even stronger. He might even be able to defeat Tang Yan."
"Yes. Most importantly, Chu Mu's potential is amazing. He has only joined our Eighth Battle Team for three years and his strength has increased from a seven-star Sword Of Gojoseon to a nine-star Sword Of Gojoseon. Give him two more years and he might even surpass the two vice-captains."
"Moreover, I remember that Chu Mu contributed a lot in three or four missions. He also got the most battle merits. I support him to be the vice-captain."
It had to be said that Chu Mu was very popular in the Eighth Battle Team because of his talent, potential, and strength. Moreover, he had turned the situation around several times during missions. Everyone admired him very much.
Chu Mu knew about everyone's discussion. However, he did not take it to heart. It was not important to him whether he would be the vice-captain or not.
However, when Chu Mu found out that there was a discount when exchanging battle merits as the vice-captain, he was somewhat tempted. The vice-captain had a 10% discount while the captain had a 20% discount.
However, there was still no news of Dong Ting's breakthrough. Chu Mu only thought about it for a moment and did not take it seriously. Otherwise, he would lose his balance.
Day after day passed and he cultivated as usual. The Divine Wilderness Sword Essence had reached the late Fifth Heaven of Creation realm and was gradually climbing to the peak of the late Fifth Heaven of Creation realm. However, it would still take a considerable amount of time to break through to the Sixth Heaven. In addition, the progress in the cultivation of the Astral Tribulation Body Tempering Technique was minimal. Chu Mu did not mind and continued to cultivate every day.
Chu Mu was considering if he should use his battle merits to exchange for a higher level sword technique.
The Mountain Sea Sword Technique was the highest level sword technique in his possession. Unfortunately, Chu Mu had not grasped some of the power of laws. Therefore, he could only use sword moves and was unable to unleash the full power of the Mountain Sea Sword Technique.
Therefore, the highest level sword technique that he had grasped was the Autumn Water Sky Sword Technique. It was composed of the three elemental powers of the laws of metal, wood and water. Although it was an earth class mid-tier sword technique, when executed by Chu Mu, it was comparable to or even better than an earth class high-tier sword technique.
However, an earth class mid-tier sword technique was ultimately an earth class mid-tier sword technique. In some aspects, it could not be compared to an earth class high-tier or earth class peak-tier sword technique.
He opened the exchange list and checked the sword technique column. The number of battle merits required for an earth class peak-tier sword technique was currently insufficient. Although he had already reached the silver rank and had accumulated more than three thousand battle merits, it was still not enough.
Although more than three thousand battle merits seemed to be a lot, it was actually not much at all. It was only enough to exchange for an ordinary earth class high-tier sword technique. After looking at it, Chu Mu was not interested in those ordinary earth class high-tier sword techniques. It would be a waste of both battle merits and time to exchange for them to cultivate.
For the time being, he put aside the idea of exchanging for a new sword technique. He also felt that the second level sword force seemed to have reached the bottleneck. If he were to break through again, it would be the third level sword force. The third level sword force could increase the power of a sword technique by four times, making the sword technique more powerful. It would also significantly increase one's strength.
However, it was also very difficult to break through from the second level sword force to the third level sword force. Unless there was some special opportunity to break through in a short period of time, it would take a lot of time and effort. It might take a few years or even longer.
"Looking at the situation, it seems that it is not possible to increase my strength quickly." Chu Mu was a little distressed. He sighed to himself and could only continue to cultivate step by step. If other swordsmen knew about his thoughts, they would probably vomit blood from anger.
Chu Mu's speed of improvement was already very shocking. In just three years, he had increased his strength from a seven-star Sword Of Gojoseon to a nine-star Sword Of Gojoseon. Who knew how many people were envious of him?
Even Hua Ye, who did not pay much attention to Chu Mu before, was secretly impressed. However, Hua Ye's personality was more unsociable, so he would not show it directly. However, Chu Mu, who had worked with Hua Ye to complete a mission, knew that Hua Ye was a good person.
Time flew by. In a flash, a month had passed.
Within this month, Chu Mu's strength had a slight increase, but it was not obvious.
At the same time, there was a piece of good news. Dong Ting had come out of seclusion and had successfully broken through.
In the eighth team's area, Dong Ting stood in front of the eighth team. Chu Mu could clearly feel that there was a special aura fluctuation on Dong Ting's body. It was like the smell of a new life. Chu Mu could not describe it clearly with words.
This was because Dong Ting had just broken through to the Nirvana Realm and had only slightly consolidated his strength. Once he had fully consolidated and adapted to his current strength, this aura would be restrained.
Although this aura was weak, Chu Mu and the others felt that they could not fight against it.
It was a kind of gap, an absolute gap. It was the gap between the Nirvana Realm and the Nirvana Realm.
Even the extremely powerful nine-star Sword Of Gojoseon was not a match for an ordinary first level Nirvana Realm swordsman. It was a kind of qualitative leap.
"Brothers, I have broken through. Soon, I will report to the Adjudicator." Dong Ting said, "I am honored to be your captain. I hope that we will have the opportunity to fight side by side in the future."
"We will, Captain."
"Captain, you have to develop well in the Adjudicator. I hope that when we are there, we can still be in the same team as you."
"Chu Mu, your potential is outstanding. Maybe you will become the main force of the eighth team soon." Dong Ting said. Then, he looked at Shangguan Hua, "Shangguan Hua, you …"
Dong Ting evaluated everyone one by one and then left.
Next, it was naturally the highlight of the show. The choice of the new captain.
Shangguan Hua and Hua Ye could both become the new captain. However, who would be the new captain would have to wait for the decision of the combat division.
According to the usual practice, a decision would be made within three days. However, seven days had passed and there was still no news from the combat division. No one suspected anything and continued to cultivate.
Until half a month later, suddenly, an unfamiliar swordsman walked into the eighth team's area with a cold face and shouted, "Eighth team, gather …"
