Today was the day for the three sections of the Earth Palace Sword Technique class.
Two hundred and ninety-nine students of the Spirit Condensation Realm arrived at the three sections of the Earth Palace Sword Technique.
As a force that surpassed the thousand-year-old Li Family, the Sky Bearing Academy had a vast territory. Each section and palace had their own grounds and would not interfere with each other. Furthermore, the scenery was beautiful and the elemental energy was dense. It was a good training environment.
The three sections of the Underground Palace Sword Technique were located beside the Jade Lake. The training hall was made of wood, and the floor was also made of wood. In order to prevent it from being damaged, various seals were set up to protect the training hall from being damaged by external forces.
The area of the training hall was vast and could accommodate thousands of people at the same time without feeling crowded. It was easy to accommodate only two hundred and ninety-nine people.
The two hundred and ninety-nine students of the Spirit Condensation Realm sat cross-legged around the training hall. They were all familiar with each other and after sitting down in twos and threes, they started chatting.
Some of them talked about the spells they had just mastered, some of them talked about everything under the sun, and some of them talked about nothing at all.
"Everyone, I received a piece of news. Do you want to hear it?" Suddenly, a young man stood up and raised his hands to signal for everyone to stop talking.
"Jiang Yun, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't hide it." Not far away, a young man shouted.
"Speak."
"Quiet, quiet." Jiang Yun waved his hands to silence the commotion. "According to the latest news I received, there is a new sword instructor for the three sections of the Earth Palace Sword Technique."
"Tsk, I thought it was some new news. The original instructor of the three sections of the Earth Palace Sword Technique has left. We have one less sword instructor, so the academy will naturally hire someone else." Immediately, someone said in a disdainful tone. Everyone else also showed a disappointed expression.
"Don't be anxious, I'm not done yet." Being looked down upon by everyone, Jiang Yun hurriedly said and waved his hands. "The new sword instructor this time is different."
"What's different? Tell us."
"Listen to me slowly." Jiang Yun revealed a smug look: "As you all know, my uncle is a member of the academy's Heavenly Palace's Sword Art Department, so my uncle has a basic understanding of the academy's matters. This time, our new instructor is called Chu Mu. It is said that his cultivation is at the Third Sky of Nirvana Realm. He was personally invited back by Vice Sect Leader Mu when he was outside. It is said that Vice Sect Leader Mu wants this Chu Mu to be the Head Instructor of Swordsmanship in the academy. "
"The head instructor of the academy's swordsmanship!" Jiang Yun's words immediately caused a commotion.
As students of the academy, they knew very well what the position of the head instructor of swordsmanship was like.
Simply put, in the Heaven Bearing Academy, the sect lord was naturally the most respected. However, the sect lord, the Heaven Bearing Sword Saint, had not appeared in the academy for hundreds of years. Occasionally, there would be news of him appearing in other places.
Under the Lord, there were two Vice-Lords. Of course, there were also some retired Vice-Lords. They had all broken through to the Everlasting Realm and became Saints. They would only show up when the Academy was in danger. These people's positions were no lower than the Vice-Lords'. In fact, they were even higher.
Under the Vice-Lords, it could be said that the head instructor of the academy was the most respected.
The academy was divided into the Spell Department and the Swordsmanship Department. Naturally, there would be two Head Instructors and one Vice-Head Instructor.
Among them, there was already a Head Instructor for the Spell Department, but the position of Head Instructor for the Sword Department had been vacant for many years.
Speaking of which, before Mu Shihua became the Vice-Lord, he was the Head Instructor of Swordsmanship in the academy.
The Heaven Bearing Sword Saint had stipulated that the upper echelons of the academy could not hold multiple positions. After Mu Shihua became the Vice-Lord, the position of the Head Instructor of Swordsmanship in the academy became vacant. Naturally, many people wanted to take up this position. However, the position of the Head Instructor of Swordsmanship in the academy was extremely important. If one's swordsmanship was not good enough, not only would there be no benefits, it would also be embarrassing.
It was important to note that Mu Shihua had been promoted from the Head Instructor of Swordsmanship to the Vice-Lord. Lin Yuan had also been promoted from the Head Instructor of Spells to the Vice-Lord. In short, most of the Vice-Lords of the academy were promoted from the Head Instructor. Being the Head Instructor meant that one could become the Vice-Lord of the academy in the future. For many people, this was a great attraction. It greatly increased the value of the position of the Head Instructor.
The Sword Department of the Mysterious Palace had a total of 20 swordsmanship instructors. Among them, the one with the highest attainment in swordsmanship was known as the number one swordsmanship instructor. The Earth Palace had 10 swordsmanship instructors and one of them was the number one swordsmanship instructor. Similarly, the Heavenly Palace had 10 swordsmanship instructors and one of them was the number one swordsmanship instructor.
Whoever became the Head Instructor of Swordsmanship in the academy would be the leader of the 40 swordsmanship instructors, at least in name.
In short, the position of the Head Instructor of Swordsmanship in the academy was highly sought after. Many people wanted it, but they did not have the ability to do so at present.
"I heard that the number one swordsmanship instructor in the Heavenly Palace, Fang Shanhai, had applied for the position of the Head Instructor many times but was rejected. This time, Vice-Lord Mu invited an outsider to be the Head Instructor of Swordsmanship. Will Fang Shanhai be angry when he finds out?"
"Let's not talk about what Fang Shanhai thinks first. I'm very curious now. This new swordsmanship instructor, Chu Mu, is so capable that Vice-Lord Mu directly promoted him to the position of the Head Instructor of Swordsmanship. Is he planning to cultivate an heir?"
"Who knows?"
"Maybe this new swordsmanship instructor's attainment in swordsmanship is really good."
"I don't think so. According to my uncle, this new instructor looks very young. I don't think he's much older than us," Jiang Yun said. "At this age, even if he specializes in swordsmanship, his attainment in swordsmanship can't be too profound. How can he be the Head Instructor of Swordsmanship in the academy?"
"It's useless to say more. When the new swordsmanship instructor arrives, we'll find out."
"That's right."
"It's a pity that Chen Li didn't come. Otherwise, it would be better if he did."
"Chen Li's swordsmanship is profound. Even the previous instructor was no match for him in swordsmanship. It's inevitable that he's arrogant."
"Yes, Chen Li is really a monster. His cultivation is similar to ours, but his attainment in swordsmanship is much higher than ours. Even the previous instructor couldn't teach him. No wonder he didn't come. It's better for him to practice swordsmanship on his own."
This suggestion was immediately unanimously approved by the crowd.
Chu Mu didn't know what these students were thinking. He left his residence and leisurely walked to the training hall of the Three Swordsmanship Sects in the Underground Palace.
The aura within the training hall was chaotic. With a slight differentiation, Chu Mu knew how many people were in the training hall. There were a total of two hundred and ninety-nine people. Mu Shihua had told Chu Mu that there were three hundred people. In other words, there was still one person who hadn't arrived.
However, Chu Mu didn't care at all. His duty was to spend eight hours every two days to teach swordsmanship in the Three Swordsmanship Sects. As for how many students came, he didn't care, because his true goal wasn't to teach here for the rest of his life.
Chu Mu walked into the training hall. What entered his eyes were nearly three hundred young faces. There were men and women. They all looked different, but they all looked good.
The two hundred and ninety-nine students all looked at Chu Mu. So many gazes fell on Chu Mu's face, but Chu Mu didn't panic at all. His mind was calm, and he seemed very calm.
Even if a few hundred God Condensation Realm swordsmen gathered their aura together, they wouldn't be able to shake Chu Mu in the slightest.
"Hello students, my name is Chu Mu. I am your new swordsmanship instructor. If there are no questions, let's start today's swordsmanship lesson." Chu Mu calmly walked to an empty corner of the training hall and said very directly.
This kind of straightforward attitude caused the students to be startled one after another.
"The new swordsmanship instructor seems to have a personality." Someone immediately transmitted a message.
"Indeed, he has a personality. I wonder how his swordsmanship is?"
As swordsmanship instructors, there were also differences in their swordsmanship. Otherwise, he wouldn't be known as the number one instructor.
"Instructor, I have a question." Immediately, a young female swordsman stood up and said.
"Speak." Chu Mu sat down cross-legged and replied plainly.
Although he intended to use Sky Bearing Academy as a starting point and didn't want to stay here for too long, Chu Mu naturally had to do his job. He didn't intend to be perfunctory.
"Instructor, how old are you this year?" The female student's question made Chu Mu flabbergasted, while the other students were clearly very interested.
"I am here to teach swordsmanship. Don't ask me anything that has nothing to do with swordsmanship." Chu Mu said very straightforwardly.
Chu Mu's answer instantly made the students feel very bored.
"Instructor, since you don't want to answer this question, I have a very big question that I hope you can answer." Jiang Yun quickly stood up. Everyone looked at him, hoping that he would ask a sharp question to challenge the new instructor. "Your new swordsmanship instructor, we don't know how good you are in swordsmanship and whether you are qualified to teach us swordsmanship."
It had to be said that Jiang Yun's question was very direct and could be said to be sharp. It was like an unsheathed sword that directly pierced towards Chu Mu without mercy.
Everyone's eyes instantly lit up. They all looked at Chu Mu with sharp gazes, wanting to see how Chu Mu would respond.
"Facts speak louder than words." Chu Mu said plainly. He stood up and walked to the center of the training hall. He faced Jiang Yun and said, "If you have any questions about my swordsmanship, you can come up and spar with me. I will let you know."
"Okay." Jiang Yun immediately agreed. He was a little excited. He thought that if the new instructor's swordsmanship was average and defeated him, the academy would have to change another instructor to prevent him from misleading the students. If he was defeated, it would prove that the new instructor's swordsmanship was above his.
However, if he was barely defeated, it would mean that the new instructor wasn't qualified to teach them swordsmanship. If he was easily defeated, it would mean that they had met an excellent instructor. That would be their lucky day.
No matter what, knowing the standard of Chu Mu's swordsmanship wasn't bad for the students. On the contrary, it was beneficial.
Jiang Yun walked out and stood opposite Chu Mu. The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
