In the blink of an eye, another half a year had passed and Chu Mu had passed the age of seventeen.
This was the seventh month since Chu Mu had entered the Lizhou Sword Academy. In the first month, trouble often came to him, but in the next half a year, it was peaceful. Chu Mu spent most of his time in the Qingfeng Courtyard, not leaving his room and concentrating on his cultivation.
At dawn, it was late autumn again and the weather became cold again. Wisps of cold air floated in the air. As it entered his nostrils, waves of coldness swept through his body.
After completing the Thirty-Three Heavenly Cycles of Sword Qi, Chu Mu slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was as clear as autumn water. He opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of turbid air. It shot out like a sword and only dissipated when it reached a distance of three meters.
Chu Mu's Sword Qi cultivation was clearly much stronger than half a year ago. That's right, his Sword Qi cultivation was at the late tenth stage and had completely stabilized. It was in the process of reaching the peak. The seventh level of the Shangyuan Sword Qi Technique had also been raised from the initial stage to the perfection stage.
Although the Shangyuan Sword Qi had not become purer, Chu Mu had a feeling that the speed of condensing Xiantian Sword Qi was definitely faster than before. Previously, he had used the Xiantian Sword Qi once to kill a Qi Transformation Stage swordsman. After that, it took a full half a month for the Xiantian Sword Qi to completely condense.
But now, Chu Mu felt that he might not even need ten days to condense one Xiantian Sword Qi. It was a pity that this Xiantian Sword Qi could only automatically condense one Xiantian Sword Qi.
"I wonder what level my overall strength is at now?" Chu Mu thought to himself after finishing his cultivation.
Golden Edge Sword Technique, Gale Sword Technique, and Shattering Cloud Sword Explosion were all perfect. His Wind Concept was still at 30%, but Chu Mu felt that he had already reached the limit of 30%. If he improved further, he would break through to 40%. However, his Cloud Concept was still at 20%, with some improvement. His Metal Concept was still at 10%, with some improvement.
After comprehending the first Concept, comprehending the second Concept would become even more difficult. The difficulty of comprehending the third Concept would be several times greater than the second. Although Chu Mu had already mentally prepared himself for this, after half a year of not making any progress in the Concept of Metal, he still felt somewhat helpless.
In addition, the progress of Sword Force Mastery was also very slow. He did not know how long it would take for him to reach Small Accomplishment. However, Chu Mu wasn't in a hurry. In the entire Azure Edge Sword Sect, only the Sword Pavilion Elder had comprehended Sword Force. Moreover, even after a dozen years, he had only comprehended it to the small success stage. It could be seen that comprehending Sword Force was tens of times more difficult than comprehending Intent.
"It's a pity that the Sword Qi Protection Secret Technique doesn't have the third level, so I can't continue to cultivate it." Muttering to himself, Chu Mu stood up and walked out of the pavilion with the two fake swords. He headed to the backyard, preparing to practice his swordsmanship.
"Junior Brother, you came just in time. Let's go."
Luo Yufeng and the others were practicing their swordsmanship in the backyard. When they saw Chu Mu appear, Luo Yufeng immediately said.
"Where are we going?" Chu Mu did not understand.
"This year's battle for the top hundred is about to begin. All the disciples of the Sword Academy have to gather at the Sword Battle Arena." Luo Yufeng said as he walked towards the front yard. The others followed.
After half a year of cultivation, everyone's cultivation had clearly increased.
Luo Yufeng had successfully broken through to half-step Qi Transformation Realm. Because he had reached the peak of Tenth Phase for almost a year, and with the supply of several Qi Increasing Pills, it was expected that he would break through.
Zheng Xiuran had also broken through to the peak of Tenth Phase, while Zhou Jin had broken through to the late Tenth Phase. Li Yi, Yu Wenhua, Wang Tinghao, and Xie Chunlei had all successfully broken through to the mid Tenth Phase. In terms of swordsmanship, they had all made significant progress.
When they arrived at the Sword Battle Arena, many disciples had already gathered in the spectator seats. At a rough glance, there were at least a thousand people, and they were seated according to different sword sects. In front of them, there was a sign with the name of a certain sword sect.
Chu Mu and the others walked to the wooden sign of the Qingfeng Sword Sect and sat down. Some gazes fell on Chu Mu and the others, and finally focused on Chu Mu's face.
Chu He, Chu Tian, Chu Hong, Lin Luoshui, Wang Lin, Guo Chengji, and the others all had different gazes.
"Junior Brother, look. That person is Xu Jianfeng of the Shang Xuan Sword Sect, and that is Li Huaiyu of the Plain Heart Sword Sect. And that is Crown Prince Zhou Hongyu." Luo Yufeng whispered to Chu Mu, and hinted with his eyes, "They are the Four Heroes of the Sword Academy, along with Chu He. They are all in the Qi Transformation Realm, and it is said that they have comprehended the Intent Realm. Their strength is very terrifying."
Whether it was to qualify for the top 100 or for other reasons, the Four Heroes of the Sword Academy were all people that they needed to know.
"The four of them can definitely enter the top 100, and the top four will be occupied by the four of them." Luo Yufeng continued in a low voice, "However, as long as they can enter the top 100, they will be able to obtain a place to cultivate in the Great Kun Sword Mansion. At that time, breaking through to the Qi Transformation Realm will be a simple matter."
"Great Kun Sword Palace …" Chu Mu was slightly startled. He abruptly remembered that on the way to Li State Sword Academy, he had encountered a swordsman who called himself Zhuge Ming in White Maple Mountain. He seemed to be him, a disciple of Great Kun Sword Palace.
At this time, Wang Lin and Guo Chengji walked to the camp of the Qingfeng Sword Sect, and stared straight at Chu Mu. They did not hide the murderous intent in their eyes, making everyone feel as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Chu Mu, I have waited for this day for a long time," Wang Lin said slowly, his voice cold.
"From now on, you don't need to wait anymore," Chu Mu said lightly.
"Hmph …" Wang Lin sneered, and turned to stride away, returning to the camp of the Shangxuan Sword Sect.
Their confusing conversation made people look at each other in dismay, and they instinctively felt that something was wrong.
Staring at Wang Lin's back, Chu Mu's eyes flashed with a trace of contemplation. The sword Qi that leaked from Wang Lin's body was clearly much stronger than that of Chu Mu's. This meant that Wang Lin's sword Qi cultivation was at least at the peak of the tenth stage.
Moreover, Wang Qi was a disciple of a high-grade sword sect. The sword Qi that he cultivated might not be inferior to the Shangyuan Sword Qi Technique. In that case, Wang Lin's sword Qi might be able to condense a streak of Xiantian sword Qi. However, it was unknown whether Wang Lin had cultivated to that level.
"In the battle of the top 100, let's put an end to all the grievances and possible troubles of the past." Chu Mu thought to himself. His mind suddenly became clear, as if as long as he put an end to all these grievances, something would happen.
He glanced at Lin Luoshui, and Lin Luoshui happened to look at him as well. There was anger and viciousness in her eyes.
"Who is he?" Xu Jianfeng looked at Chu Mu and asked indifferently.
"Senior Brother Xu, he is Chu Mu, a disciple of the Qingfeng Academy. He came to the Sword Academy to study this year, and as soon as he arrived, he defeated Chu Mu with his cultivation at the middle of the tenth stage …" The person next to him hurriedly told him everything he knew about Chu Mu.
"Oh, it seems that he is quite capable." Xu Jianfeng nodded, but did not take it to heart. In his eyes, Chu Mu's ability was not bad, but it was not enough for him to take him seriously. After all, in Xu Jianfeng's opinion, it was not impossible for a middle of the tenth stage to defeat a peak tenth stage. However, the Sword Qi realm, to put it bluntly, was only the beginning of a swordsman's life. Only when one stepped into the Qi Transformation Realm would one understand how vast the world of swordsmen was.
It could be said that whether one stepped into the Qi Transformation Realm or not, there was a huge gap between heaven and earth.
In the Sword Academy, there were only three people that Xu Jianfeng took seriously. Other than them, he did not care about anyone else.
At this time, there were several sharp sounds of wind breaking. Five black figures flew in from the entrance of the Sword Battle Arena like arrows. In a flash, they landed in the middle of the arena like an illusion.
These five people all looked to be in their fifties. Four of them stood at the four corners of the arena, while the last one stood in the middle. A pair of clear and bright eyes slowly swept across the arena. His gaze was so focused that the expressions of those who were swept by him changed. They felt uneasy as if all their secrets had been seen through.
When this person's gaze swept over Chu Mu, he paused for a moment. There seemed to be an imperceptible smile on his old-fashioned face.
"I am Ling Cangyan, Deputy Headmaster of the Sword Academy of Li Province. I will still be in charge of the Sword Academy Battle for the top 100." The old man withdrew his gaze and spoke in a loud voice. A blazing aura swept out, causing the air to hum and tremble. It was so powerful that no one dared to make a sound. They even subconsciously held their breaths. "The top 100 of the Sword Academy is related to the number of places to cultivate in the Sword Mansion. It is extremely important. In theory, any disciple of the Sword Academy is qualified to participate. However, the Battle for the top 100 is not child's play. There are all kinds of dangers and life and death. Therefore, if you want to participate in the Battle for the top 100, you must pass a test. "
As soon as his voice fell, Ling Cangyan waved his hand and a shadow flashed across the air. On the Sword Battle Stage, a milky white pillar appeared out of thin air. It was as thick as a washbasin and three meters tall, standing firm on the stage.
"This test is very simple. You just need to attack the pillar with your sword. How you attack is completely up to you. What sword technique you use is also up to you. As long as you can make the pillar change and show the strength of your attack, you will pass the test and be qualified to participate in the Battle for the top 100," Ling Cangyan said slowly.
This test method immediately lit up the eyes of the new disciples. It also lit up the eyes of those who had participated in the test in the past.
"Eldest Senior Brother, this seems to be different from the test method you mentioned?" Yuwen Wenhua asked in a low voice.
"Yes, it is indeed different. The test method I mentioned was the previous two tests." Luo Yufeng said in a low voice, "The Sword Academy will use several different test methods in rotation. I have heard of this Strength Testing Pillar test before."
For a time, this new testing method made many disciples feel very fresh. Each and every one of them was eager to try it out. They wanted to see how strong their attacks were.
As if he could see the eagerness of the crowd, Ling Cangyan smiled slowly and raised his hand. "The test begins with the three high-grade sword sects and the Crown Prince's Courtyard."
As soon as he finished speaking, a few figures immediately used their movement skills and flew over. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
