A strong energy surged in Chu Mu's body. He stood on a tall boulder, radiating a bright light as he looked disdainfully at his surroundings.
There were over a hundred Ironback Wolf corpses strewn all over the ground. Claw marks could be seen everywhere on the ground. It was a shocking sight.
At this moment, the scorching sun turned into the setting sun, gradually setting in the west. Soon, it would be nightfall.
To Chu Mu, the Wolf Valley, be it the outer valley or the inner valley, was no longer a threat after nightfall. This was because his strong strength was sufficient for him to survive in the Wolf Valley. Even the berserk Ironback Wolf King would not be able to threaten him.
Xiao Chen felt a little hungry. He sat on the boulder and took out his rations. He untied the flask at his waist and drank a mouthful of water. Then, he picked up the cured meat jerky and took a bite, chewing it.
He ate slowly, chewing and absorbing the meat jerky to fill his stomach. It also replenished the energy he had expended during the battle. Naturally, this could not be compared to eating in a restaurant. However, in the outside world, being able to eat until he was full was already pretty good.
After he finished eating, the sun set in the west. The last rays of the setting sun gradually disappeared and night fell. A cool breeze blew, bringing with it a chill. Originally, this was the time for the Wolf King and the Wolf Guards to celebrate. However, at this moment, it was cold and lonely. The disappearing corpses of over a hundred wolves added to the desolation of the night.
After nightfall, it was the world of the Faux Beasts.
If Xiao Chen left now, he would have to leave the inner valley and charge out of the outer valley. It would take about four hours. At that time, it would be late at night.
Chu Mu did not care about ordinary Rank 1 Faux Beasts. As for the habitat of Rank 3 Faux Beasts, it was quite far from here. Chu Mu felt that he should stay here for the night and reflect on today's battle. After that, he would cultivate calmly and comprehend sword intent, metal energy, fire energy, and so on.
Currently, these powers were all at the entry level. Above them, there was still Small Perfection Dacheng and Perfection. There was still a lot of room for improvement.
After resting for fifteen minutes, Chu Mu focused his mind and began to reflect on today's battle, especially the battle with the Ironback Wolf King. He reflected on today's battle three times.
Only an hour had passed. He stood up and unsheathed his sword. The demonic red light burned fiercely, wantonly blossoming in the night, swaying and swaying.
Just like that, he began to practice the Intermediate Swordsmanship, Intermediate Body Movement, and Intermediate Footwork. After a few rounds of practice, he sat down cross-legged and circulated the Intermediate Qi Training Formula to cultivate his inner Qi.
After cultivating for about an hour, Chu Mu opened his eyes. At this moment, the bright moon was hanging high in the sky. It was as white as a silver plate with a missing piece. It emitted a cold and clear light that sprinkled over the earth and enveloped the Wolf Valley. For Chu Mu, for every boulder and every inch of land, it was draped with a thin and serene layer of gauze.
Everything seemed to have fallen into a deep slumber under the hazy and serene moonlight.
At midnight.
"Without Void Qi, my cultivation speed is still too slow," Chu Mu said to himself as he withdrew his gaze.
After cultivating for an hour, the progress was very small. According to this speed, he would need to cultivate for almost 24 hours to absorb a strand of Level Three Void Qi. In other words, if he wanted to advance from the Second Heaven to the Third Heaven, he would need to cultivate for at least 20 days.
If he hunted Void Beasts in 20 days, he would be able to advance from the First Heaven level to the Third Heaven level.
Time passed little by little. Chu Mu stood up again. When he was about to cultivate his swordsmanship again, he caught a glimpse of a silver light from the corner of his eye and was attracted to it.
He saw that the cold moonlight from the sky had actually gathered not far behind him. Then, it seemed to have sunk into a boulder and disappeared without a trace. However, the surrounding moonlight was still clear, like a gauze.
This scene aroused Chu Mu's curiosity.
He jumped up like a bird and landed in front of the boulder. He carefully stared at the spot where the moonlight had disappeared. It turned out that the moonlight had been gathered and absorbed.
After staring for a long time, nothing happened. However, the moonlight was still gathered and absorbed, creating a little darkness.
"Could it be that something is hidden in there?" Chu Mu thought to himself.
Xiao Chen drew his sword, and a red light burst out. He brazenly stabbed his sword at the black spot. The incomparably hard collision caused the sword to tremble violently. As the force transmitted through, Xiao Chen's wrist felt slightly numb.
With the sharpness of a Rank 3 Void Spirit Sword, he could easily break such a boulder. It should be as weak as tofu.
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and gathered his strength. Then, he suddenly thrust his sword out. It instantly erupted, turning into a beam of golden light that tore through the air.
"Rank 2 Sword Technique, Armor Breaking!"
When Xiao Chen's sword descended, the hard black spot immediately broke under the golden light.
Strands of fluctuation immediately spread out from the broken black spot.
After a few more slashes, the shattered black dot expanded. Chu Mu carefully looked inside. With the help of the moonlight and his own eyesight, he could faintly see a small hole inside. In the hole, there was a sword. It was that sword that was constantly absorbing the moonlight's power and emitting traces of coldness.
When Xiao Chen looked more carefully, aside from that sword, there was also a scabbard and an unremarkable, pitch-black ring to the side.
Although Chu Mu did not sense any danger, he still used the Scarlet Blood Sword to pick up the pitch-black ring. He could not make out anything special about it.
"Dripping blood!"
A connection with the pitch-black ring gradually deepened. Only then did Chu Mu realize what this pitch-black ring was, which made him overjoyed.
It turned out that this pitch-black ring was actually a spatial ring. It was a Rank 2 Void Spirit Tool spatial ring with an internal space of two cubic meters.
Such a pleasant surprise left Chu Mu at a loss for words.
Although it was only two cubic meters of internal space, it was enough for now. At the very least, it could store many things.
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and grabbed the hilt of the sword. Then, he used his strength to pull it out. Xiao Chen only saw a flash before his eyes.
After Xiao Chen pulled out the sword, he looked at it carefully. The sword continuously absorbed the moonlight, making it look somewhat hazy. The moonlight energy slowly flowed on the sword like a stream.
Without a doubt, this was a Void Spirit Sword.
He dripped another drop of blood. After the blood was absorbed, Chu Mu established a connection with the sword that absorbed the moonlight. He also learned the sword's name and so on.
Moonlight Sword, a Rank 3 Void Spirit Sword. After absorbing the moonlight energy, its sharpness would increase by one grade.
"Increasing by one grade means that it's a Rank 4 Void Spirit Sword." Chu Mu was pleasantly surprised.
A Rank 4 Void Spirit Sword could break through the defense of a Rank 4 Void Beast. However, if a Rank 4 Void Beast went berserk, its defense would increase, and it would be difficult to break through. However, if it was strengthened with sword intent, its sharpness would be even stronger.
More importantly, with this Moonlight Sword, Chu Mu would be able to use the Dual Sword Technique for a period of time. In that state, his strength would be even stronger.
Xiao Chen took out the scabbard and sheathed the Moonlight Sword. Now, he had the Moonlight Sword and the Scarlet Blood Sword. Furthermore, they were both Rank 3 Void Spirit Swords. It would be even easier for him to deal with Rank 3 Void Beasts.
After carefully looking around, Xiao Chen didn't find anything else. However, this was already enough. Chu Mu didn't expect to have such a harvest.
He couldn't help but rejoice that he hadn't left in a hurry. Otherwise, he would have definitely missed this opportunity. If he wanted to obtain a Spatial Ring and a Rank 3 Void Spirit Sword in the future, it wouldn't be so easy.
Xiao Chen brought the Moonlight Sword back to the huge rock. He pulled out the Scarlet Blood Sword with both hands. With the Scarlet Blood Sword in his right hand and the Moonlight Sword in his left hand, he started practicing his sword technique.
The demonic red and the holy white formed a sharp contrast. As Chu Mu waved his hands, they gathered and separated, forming a unique charm. Every Dao cut through the night and the moonlight, making him look like a sword god under the moon.
After practicing the sword technique a few times, Chu Mu stopped. He sheathed the swords and placed them on both sides. Then, he started comprehending sword intent.
Sword intent was the foundation.
Sword intent was illusory. It used one's spirit and will as the foundation. It used one's understanding of the sword and the sword technique as the bones and flesh. It used one's own knowledge to construct it.
The entry level of sword intent was only the most basic and shallow level.
What was the sword?
That voice seemed to appear again. Chu Mu still gave an answer, but it was the same answer as last time. Chu Mu wasn't satisfied with this answer. He was thinking, pondering, and comprehending. What was the sword?
What was the sword?
The sword was a weapon of murder. It was a weapon of slaughter …
There was no cycle in the mountains, and there was no time in cultivation.
Chu Mu felt a trace of warmth on his cheeks. He opened his eyes. The sun had risen.
A new day had arrived.
Throughout the night, Chu Mu gained a second-grade Infinite Space Ring and a third-grade Moonlight Sword. Other than that, he made some progress in comprehending sword intent, but not much.
On the Galaxy Genius List of the Dark Night Tribe, Chu Mu's name was still at the top. He had seventeen thousand talent points. He had left Zhu Tiantong, who was in second place, far behind him. Not to mention Chen Gang, who had been killed by Chu Mu once.
On the Heaven Ascension List, Gu Luankong was still in first place. However, his talent points had increased to twenty-two. Qin Aoxian was still in second place with twenty-one. Yang Zhantian was still in third place with twenty-one. Xu Muzhi, who was in fourth place, had also surpassed Chu Mu with eighteen thousand talent points.
Chu Mu was still in fifth place, but the talent points of sixth place had caught up and was now neck and neck with Chu Mu. 17,000. If Chu Mu didn't increase it, there was a high chance he would be surpassed by sixth place and his ranking would drop.
The competition on the Heaven Ascension List was many times more intense than the competition on the Galaxy Genius List. It could be said that there were thousands of changes in an instant. Every time there was a big change, it would cause people to be surprised and talk about it.
The elders of the General Divine Hall were a little anxious because Chu Mu's talent points had not increased. They might be surpassed. They really hoped that Chu Mu could make it to the top three. It would be best if he could make it to the first place. However, they did not dare to take it seriously. The top three was their ideal goal.
However, Chu Mu didn't place much importance on this. After eating breakfast, he put the remaining food, water, and Moonlight Sword into his spatial ring. His left hand held the Scarlet Blood Sword while his left hand wore a ring on his middle finger and ring finger. Just like that, he walked towards his new target in large strides.
