"Instructor, I won't be polite." Jiang Yun's eyes were filled with excitement as he unsheathed his sword. The Sword Light was as cold as autumn water, and the sound of the sword being unsheathed was pleasing to the ear.
The bright Sword Light reflected in Jiang Yun's eyes, and his battle intent was like a spark that ignited a prairie fire, becoming more vigorous.
The sound of air being torn apart rang out, the Sword Light was sharp, like a bolt of lightning piercing through the void, piercing towards Chu Mu.
"So fast!"
"Jiang Yun's swordsmanship has improved again."
The other students in the training hall exclaimed. They were all familiar with each other, and Jiang Yun was the type of person who loved to be in the limelight. Thus, they all knew of Jiang Yun's strength. Who would have thought that after not seeing Jiang Yun fight for a few days, his swordsmanship would improve again.
But thinking about it, Jiang Yun's uncle was the instructor of the Heavenly Palace Sword Art. With him guiding Jiang Yun, it would be strange if he didn't improve.
However, in Chu Mu's eyes, this sword that seemed exquisite was full of flaws.
He only stretched out his hands, and the sharp Sword Light stopped in mid-air. Everyone's eyes widened, their pupils contracted, and their faces were filled with shock.
Jiang Yun's sword was actually caught by the new instructor's two fingers. Jiang Yun exerted force, wanting to pull out his sword, but Chu Mu's two fingers were like cast iron, not moving in the slightest. No matter how much force Jiang Yun exerted, he couldn't move them in the slightest.
"Your swordsmanship is too weak." Chu Mu indifferently said, loosening his fingers. Jiang Yun exerted force once more, and immediately, he was sent flying backwards, falling on his butt. His face was flushed red, and his embarrassment turned into anger.
"You didn't even use your sword." Jiang Yun retorted.
Of course, Jiang Yun's words weren't without reason. Even if one's swordsmanship wasn't high, as long as one's cultivation was high enough and their eyesight was sharp, they could still use their fingers to catch the opponent's sword.
"Then take this." Chu Mu faintly smiled. His finger was like a sword as it pierced towards Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun, who had just stood up, suddenly felt as if Chu Mu's finger had become a divine sword that had been unsheathed. It was so sharp that there was nowhere for him to hide. He couldn't even block it because he felt as if his thoughts had been frozen. He couldn't keep up at all and couldn't react at all.
This finger, this sword, was too fast, too fast. It was incomparably profound. Jiang Yun seemed to have turned into a wooden puppet. Even his eyes were somewhat sluggish. That was because even though he tried his best to react, he was still unable to keep up.
The sword finger stopped at the center of Jiang Yun's brows. The terrifying sharpness penetrated through, causing Jiang Yun to involuntarily shudder. He only felt a piercing pain in the center of his brows. His brain felt waves of coldness, as though there were steel needles piercing into it.
Jiang Yun's eyes were trembling, his heart was filled with fear.
If they were enemies, then right now, he would already be dead, his soul scattered.
Chu Mu retracted his finger. Jiang Yun's eyes were still sluggish. It took him a while to react, but his gaze towards Chu Mu had an additional tinge of respect.
The other students more or less had some attainments in swordsmanship and had some eyesight. Naturally, they could tell that Chu Mu's finger was extraordinary. However, they didn't experience it as deeply as Jiang Yun. Therefore, their eyes were still filled with doubt.
"If anyone has any questions, you can come up and give it a try." Chu Mu faintly said, "If there are no more questions, today's swordsmanship lesson will begin."
"Teacher, please give me your guidance." Jiang Yun respectfully said. He walked back to his seat and sat down with a sincere attitude.
Jiang Yun's swordsmanship could be ranked in the top three among the three hundred students. He was only slightly inferior to Chen Li. His performance surprised everyone and made them even more doubtful. However, based on their understanding of Jiang Yun, they knew that even though he liked to show off, he was also arrogant. Therefore, they didn't challenge Chu Mu again.
Chu Mu's first swordsmanship lesson in Sky Bearing Academy thus began.
"Let me ask you a question first. Why do you practice swordsmanship?" Chu Mu asked.
"Of course it's to improve our abilities." Someone immediately answered.
There were other answers, but in general, they were all for the sake of improving one's abilities. After all, in this world, the strong were respected. No matter how much wealth one had, one couldn't protect it without power.
"What is a sword? What is a sword? What is a swordsmanship? "Chu Mu asked three questions in a row.
The two hundred and ninety-nine students looked at each other. They didn't know that the so-called swordsmanship teacher started with these questions.
What was the use of these questions?
They didn't understand. According to past swordsmanship teachers, they would first demonstrate the swordsmanship, then explain in detail the techniques of the swordsmanship. Then, the students would ask questions and answer them one by one. Finally, the students would spar and point out their inadequacies.
There had never been a swordsmanship teacher like Chu Mu.
A novel teaching method might be refreshing, but no one felt that the questions raised by Chu Mu had any practical use. This was because their understanding of swordsmanship and swordsmanship was too shallow. This was also a characteristic of the Deep Blue World, where both spells and swordsmanship were cultivated. Furthermore, spells were the mainstream.
"Teacher, may I ask if these questions have any use?" Someone asked.
"Whether they have any use or not depends on how you interpret them." Chu Mu replied, "Now, you can ask questions about swordsmanship one by one. I will answer them one by one."
Chu Mu didn't explain the meaning of these questions, which made the students unhappy. However, Chu Mu's attitude was firm and he wasn't willing to explain. If they didn't understand, they didn't understand. Even if they explained, they still didn't understand. It would be a waste of effort.
Jiang Yun first asked a question about swordsmanship, and Chu Mu immediately answered it. He went straight to the point and immediately made Jiang Yun feel enlightened.
The immediate effect made the other students excited. They all raised their questions about swordsmanship, and Chu Mu answered all of them.
Soon, eight hours had passed. In these eight hours, Chu Mu answered all of the students' questions about swordsmanship. He ignored all of the questions that had nothing to do with swordsmanship.
In these eight hours, Chu Mu had left a deep impression on the students.
The first impression was that Chu Mu was very strong, and he was a man of his word.
The second impression was that he was very mysterious, which made people have a desire to explore him.
The third impression was that he was very profound and knowledgeable in swordsmanship. At least for all of the students' questions, even if they were deliberately difficult, Chu Mu answered all of them. Moreover, most of the questions had immediate effects. In just eight hours, people could understand a bit or even more than half of the questions.
These three impressions were enough to make Chu Mu the focus of discussion among the students of the three sword divisions in the underground palace.
"Come, let's have a spar. I felt that I comprehended something just now."
After the discussion about Chu Mu, the topic shifted to swordsmanship. The students all drew their swords and began to spar with swordsmanship.
After eight hours of swordsmanship teaching, Chu Mu left and went straight to the library. This was one of the reasons why he was willing to be a swordsmanship instructor in the school.
Books recorded the development of a race and civilization. They recorded the history of a civilization's development. From books, one could effectively know the development of a race and civilization.
Basically, swordsmanship would be taught once every three days. The rest of the time was free to be arranged. It was very sufficient.
With the identity of a swordsmanship instructor, Chu Mu could enter the library at will to read the books. However, Chu Mu couldn't enter the upper levels of the library with his current identity. The books there were more important secret books. To Chu Mu, they weren't very useful. He only needed detailed information about the Deep Blue World.
The most important thing was the location of the World Spirit.
After finding the relevant books, he sat on a chair in the library and started reading.
After reading a few books, Chu Mu returned to his residence to cultivate.
The instructor's residence was pretty good. It was a standalone unit with a sword practice room. It was very considerate.
Now, Chu Mu's daily cultivation had an additional task. It was to comprehend the power of time.
Among the various powers of heaven and earth, the power of time was the most important. Chu Mu had tried to comprehend it many times but failed. It was only until the Hidden Peak underwent a space-time transition and entered a space-time wormhole that he was able to comprehend the power of time by chance.
However, after the space-time transition, the power of time stopped at the esoteric level. It was only a fine line away from the law.
Now, what Chu Mu needed to do was to try his best to transform the esoteric of time into the law of time. Once he mastered the power of the law of time, he would be able to use it in battle.
Day after day passed. Chu Mu had been in the Sky Bearing Academy for half a month as the instructor of the three sword techniques in the Earth Palace. In this half a month, he had taught a total of four sword techniques. Each time, he would spend eight hours answering the students' questions, allowing them to spar and give pointers. Sometimes, he would personally spar with the students to point out the flaws and flaws in their sword techniques.
After Chu Mu's four lessons, every student realized that their sword techniques had improved significantly.
Today was the fifth time he had taught a sword technique.
Chu Mu also realized that there was an unfamiliar face among the students. It was a student who looked ordinary but had a unique temperament. When he opened and closed his eyes, they shone brightly and were as sharp as the edge of a sword.
When Chu Mu appeared, this student had been staring at Chu Mu.
"Instructor, my name is Chen Li. I heard that your sword techniques are profound and unfathomable." Chen Li said as he stood up and walked to the center of the training hall. His gaze was even sharper. "I only believe in the sword in my hand. Please give me some pointers."
As he spoke, Chen Li unsheathed his sword. There was a cold gleam on the tip of the sword.
Chu Mu knew who Chen Li was. After all, as the instructor of the three sword techniques in the Earth Palace, Chu Mu had some understanding of the students. According to what he knew, Chen Li had an extraordinary level of attainment in sword techniques. Even the previous sword instructor was inferior to him in terms of sword techniques.
This situation caused Chen Li to be even more arrogant. He felt that the current sword technique instructors simply didn't have the qualifications to instruct him. This time, however, he had heard the other students talk about it a few times. Ultimately, he was interested and came to take a look, planning to have a sword duel with Chu Mu.
