With a flash of cold light, the sword in Chen Li's hand rapidly pierced towards Chu Mu.
This sword strike was direct and concise. It already had a feeling of returning to simplicity. It faintly touched upon the essence of swordsmanship. Chu Mu's eyes flashed with surprise.
After staying here for a period of time, he had a general understanding of the level of swordsmanship of the students. Chen Li's sword strike at this moment allowed Chu Mu to see that his attainments in swordsmanship were much higher than Jiang Yun's. Even among his peers in the Four Great Star Domains, he could be considered quite good and ranked among the top.
This meant that Chen Li's talent in swordsmanship was above average.
However, compared to Chu Mu, this level was still too far away.
A sword pierced over. In the eyes of the other students, it was as fast as lightning. Their faces were filled with shock, but Chu Mu's expression didn't change. Even the crowd didn't see clearly how he attacked. The sword light flipped, and Chen Li stood in place blankly. His hand was empty. The sword was in Chu Mu's hand, and the blade was resting on Chen Li's neck.
Chen Li himself did not see how his sword was taken away or how it was placed against his neck.
Each of them was as big as a fist, so big that it could fit in a fist.
Chen Li's swordsmanship was superb. Even the previous swordsmanship instructor was no match for him. Who would have thought that he wouldn't even have the slightest bit of resistance against this new swordsmanship instructor? He had used his highest level of swordsmanship, but his opponent had actually snatched his sword away and even placed it against his own neck. It had to be said that this was a great irony.
From this, it also showed how amazing the new swordsmanship instructor's attainments in swordsmanship were.
In an instant, the students who came back to their senses felt their blood boil. The swordsmanship of the new swordsmanship instructor had once again exceeded their expectations.
The stronger and more profound the instructor's swordsmanship was, the more advantageous it was for them.
With a slight tremble of his finger, the sword flew into Chen Li's hand.
However, Chen Li did not return to his original position. He only stared at Chu Mu with a burning gaze, as if he wanted to melt Chu Mu. If Chen Li was a beautiful woman, looking at Chu Mu like this would make him feel comfortable. However, Chen Li was a man.
"Student Chen Li, please return to your seat," Chu Mu had to say.
After bowing to Chu Mu, Chen Li returned to his original position and sat down cross-legged, but his eyes were still blazing.
"Let's begin today's swordsmanship lesson," Chu Mu said.
Chen Li's challenge was just a small interlude. Chu Mu didn't mind it, but the other students' attitudes were even more sincere. This could be considered a good thing.
Chu Mu began to explain Chen Li's sword move. He explained the profound techniques and essence within it to the students in an easy-to-understand manner so that they could all understand. After listening, Chen Li's understanding of his own sword move deepened. His eyes shone even brighter.
Very quickly, under Chu Mu's guidance, eight hours were up. This meant that the swordsmanship lesson had come to an end.
Only the word "wanting to continue" could describe the feelings of the students. They had never thought that the cultivation of swordsmanship could be such a delightful thing.
This was indeed the case. If they couldn't understand or practice it, their interest would naturally be greatly reduced. However, if they could quickly comprehend and be enlightened, it would make them feel happy and full of confidence.
After the swordsmanship lesson ended, Chen Li caught up with Chu Mu and said that he wanted to be Chu Mu's disciple and learn swordsmanship. However, he was rejected by Chu Mu. Although Chen Li was a good seedling, Chu Mu's mind wasn't here.
After going to the Book Collection Department to read the relevant books, Chu Mu's understanding of the Deep Blue World deepened.
Aside from the human race, there were two other races in the Deep Blue World. One was a race that was larger than the human race. They lived in the vast ocean and were called the Sea Race.
The other race had the least number of people and was far inferior to the human race. However, even the large Sea Race didn't dare to underestimate them. This race was called the Celestial Race.
There was more information about the Sea Race and less about the Celestial Race. This added a layer of mystery to the Celestial Race.
Chu Mu didn't deliberately understand the Sea Race and the Celestial Race. There was no need for that at the moment. He mainly wanted to know the location of the World Spirit. The Sea Race and the Celestial Race were only incidental. Apart from that, there was also information about spells.
Spells was a general term. It was different from sword arts. It was a combat cultivation path.
Between heaven and earth, there were all kinds of forces. They were called three thousand in number.
Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, ice, thunder, cloud, light, shadow, blood, snow, stars, space, time, etc. They all existed between heaven and earth. They were a type of heaven and earth energy. The first experts of the Deep Blue World created different methods of application according to the different heaven and earth energy. After a long period of exploration and development, they gradually formed a more complete system. They were collectively called spells.
The laws of spells were divided according to the different heaven and earth energy. They were divided into metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and so on. Different spells had different ways of displaying them and different powers.
To cultivate spells, one needed to first learn the seal technique. The basic seal technique was the prerequisite for all spells. After becoming proficient in the basic seal technique, one could then cultivate the seal technique of different spells. Using the heaven and earth energy one had grasped, one could draw the corresponding energy from the heaven and earth to achieve the goal of using spells.
Out of curiosity, Chu Mu specially flipped through the books related to spells. He had a deeper understanding of spells and was even more amazed by the dao of spells.
This dao was not inferior to the dao of the sword at all.
Finding the location of the World Spirit was of utmost importance. However, there were bound to be others besides him. For example, the foreign races that had entered the Deep Blue World. During the search, there would inevitably be conflicts and battles. There would also be clashes with the native experts of the Deep Blue World.
Chu Mu felt that it was necessary to understand techniques. After all, only by knowing yourself and your enemy would you be able to emerge victorious in every battle.
After understanding the wonders of spells, Chu Mu had the thought of cultivating spells. However, this was a distracting thought. As soon as it appeared, it was immediately cut down by Chu Mu's sword intent.
Chu Mu was a sword master and a swordsman. What he pursued was the dao of the sword.
Sword dao and formula dao were two completely different paths. Sword dao focused on sword intent and sword skills. Heaven and earth energy was a type of support. Formula dao, on the other hand, focused on heaven and earth energy. It had nothing to do with sword skills or sword intent.
A person's energy was always limited. Moreover, the path of sword dao and formula dao was different. Originally, the path of sword dao had taken up too much of Chu Mu's time. He simply couldn't divert his attention to formula dao.
Moreover, cultivating one type of spell wouldn't be of much help to Chu Mu's strength. Unless he cultivated a hybrid spell, that was, fusing different spells. For example, metal and water, fire and earth, wind and thunder, and so on. It was even possible to combine three spells.
The power of a hybrid spell was far greater than a single spell. However, it was also more difficult to cultivate.
After gaining a deeper understanding of techniques, Chu Mu felt that the Deep Blue World's cultivators had taken a wrong path. That was to cultivate both sword techniques and techniques at the same time. This was different from cultivating both body and chi at the same time.
Perhaps at the beginning, cultivating both spell and sword dao would allow one to have a considerable amount of strength in both close and long range combat. However, it would be disadvantageous for the future because time and energy were limited.
Of course, no one could say for sure what would happen in the future. Every world had its own civilization. Naturally, it would have its own path of development and couldn't be interfered with. Whether it would be good or bad in the end, no one could say for sure. Chu Mu wasn't from the Deep Blue World. He followed his own dao.
The sword was his dao.
Other than teaching sword skills once every three days, Chu Mu spent the rest of his time on daily cultivation and reading books. As time passed, Chu Mu gradually flipped through all the books in the lower level of the Book Collection Department. Unfortunately, he didn't find any information related to the World Spirit.
It seemed that he had to either enter the upper level or leave Sky Bearing Academy to search elsewhere.
The profound of time was also being cultivated. It was on the verge of a breakthrough but lacked an opportunity. The power of the rules of space was naturally tempered by the Void Breaking Secret Manual. The power of the five elements was also tempered by the Five Elements Sutra. Chu Mu focused on cultivating the Five Elements Seven Mysterious Technique. After diligent cultivation, he achieved another breakthrough and reached the fifth level.
Only by reaching the seventh level could one enter the second level of the Five Spirits Secret Pagoda. Chu Mu was working hard towards this goal.
While Chu Mu was diligently studying the Deep Blue World, his reputation gradually spread. The source of the news was naturally the students of the three sword styles of the Earth Palace.
Chu Mu's sword skills were unfathomable. It was the first time the students of the three sword styles of the Earth Palace had seen someone like him. Jiang Yun even believed that Chu Mu's sword skills were not inferior to his uncle's. To a certain extent, Chu Mu had already surpassed his uncle. One had to know that his uncle was the instructor of the Heavenly Palace Sword Arts.
The standard of the Heavenly Palace Sword Arts instructor was definitely superior to that of the Earth Palace Sword Arts instructor. However, Chu Mu was an anomaly.
The discussions of the students of the three sword styles of the Earth Palace caused Chu Mu to gradually gain some fame. In addition, when the students of the three sword styles of the Earth Palace sparred with the students of the other sword styles of the Earth Palace, they defeated their opponents with sharper and more concise sword skills. This caused their opponents to be surprised and learn more about Chu Mu's existence.
After that, the news of Vice Sect Master Mu Shihua bringing Chu Mu back and suggesting that Chu Mu be the head instructor of the Earth Palace Sword Arts was dug up and spread. This caused Chu Mu's reputation to soar and he became the focus of attention.
All sorts of rumors were spread. In addition to Chen Li's personal testimony, some people vaguely crowned Chu Mu as the number one sword style instructor of the Earth Palace.
Chen Li was a famous person in the Underground Palace's Sword Art Department because he had defeated the previous sword art instructor. His talent and talent made many people sigh in admiration.
Therefore, when the current number one sword style instructor of the Earth Palace, Wang Yuefeng, heard this news, he frowned and was quite displeased.
As the number one sword style instructor of the Earth Palace, he had great authority in the Earth Palace Sword Arts Department. This authority was not to be challenged by others, especially by a new sword style instructor.
Therefore, Wang Yuefeng sent a message to Chu Mu, requesting that Chu Mu come to see him. The underlying meaning was that he wanted to see what abilities Chu Mu had.
