Huangfu Changtian was ranked third. He glanced deeply at Chu Mu before walking to the side to adjust his breathing without saying a word.
"Junior Brother Chu is truly capable." Lian Qingyun smiled. Chu Mu only nodded and didn't reply. Luo Yufeng falling down the cliff caused his heart to be heavy, and he had an indescribable feeling of discomfort.
Sun Changfeng was the fourth to arrive. His 20% Wind Concept had been fused into his wind attribute movement technique, and he had an advantage over the others.
Subsequently, the others arrived successively as well. The miserable Huangfu Ba, even though his sword qi cultivation was pure and thick, he had no choice but to cultivate an earth attribute sword qi technique that didn't stand out in terms of speed. Thus, in the end, he fell to 13th place, even worse than the previous two tests, and he didn't obtain a single point.
No one conversed because over 100 people had fallen down the cliff, and it caused their hearts to feel cold and extremely uncomfortable.
The Red-crowned Crane landed on the ground, and Zhuge Chong leaped down to take in the expressions of everyone, yet he didn't say anything.
In a short moment, waves of whistling sounds of wings flapping and sweeping through the air resounded out. Numerous Red-crowned Cranes flew up from the surroundings and swiftly landed on the ground, and the people on the backs of the Red-crowned Cranes caused everyone to be extremely astonished.
"Senior Brother …" Chu Mu was stunned as he stared blankly at Luo Yufeng who jumped down from the back of a Red-crowned Crane, and he was slightly unable to react for a moment.
"I thought I was dead for sure, but I never imagined that I would be rescued after falling down." Luo Yufeng had a smile of surviving a calamity as he heaved a sigh of relief.
"Yes, it's good that you're fine." Chu Mu nodded and recovered his calm, but he was still slightly excited in his heart.
"The third test, Feiling Crossing, tested your ability to adapt. As a new student of the Great Kun Sword Mansion, we naturally wouldn't let you truly die." Zhuge Chong said, "Now I'll announce the rankings. The first is you, Lian Qingyun, the second is Chu Mu, the third is Huangfu Changtian …"
In the first round, Zhuge Chong was not interested in their names at all. However, after the second round, Chu Mu's performance shocked Zhuge Chong very much. Therefore, he asked for Chu Mu's name. After being in a good mood, he even knew the names of some of the others.
The first place would still receive 10,000 credits, the second place would receive 9,000, the third place would receive 8,000, and so on. The tenth place would receive 1,000 credits.
Once again, Chu Mu became the center of attention.
Lian Qingyun, Huangfu Changtian, and the others were originally publicly acknowledged as part of the top 10 amongst the new disciples, but Chu Mu was unknown before this. Even the members of the Li Province Sword Academy only felt that Chu Mu was slightly formidable, but they'd never imagined that Chu Mu would be formidable to such an extent.
Different people had different thoughts. Although Luo Yufeng didn't receive a single credit and even walked on the edge of life and death, he was still happy for Chu Mu from the bottom of his heart.
Shen Rao's beautiful eyes landed on Chu Mu's face with a hint of charm, as though she wanted to see through Chu Mu. Nangong Haoyang glared fiercely at Chu Mu, and Huangfu Ba even looked like he was gnashing his teeth.
Huangfu Ba finally couldn't hold back and took a step forward. He pointed at Chu Mu and said to Zhuge Chong, "Senior Brother Zhuge, I want to challenge him."
Everyone was startled, and then some were excited and even took pleasure in Huang Xiaolong's misfortune. Chu Mu, an unknown person, had suddenly placed in the top 10 or even top 3 for three consecutive rounds, which naturally made them feel jealous. When they heard that Huangfu Ba wanted to challenge Chu Mu, they couldn't wait for Chu Mu to be defeated by Huangfu Ba immediately. Only then would their hearts be balanced.
"You want to challenge Chu Mu …" Zhuge Chong had a strange smile on his face. He glanced at Chu Mu and directly said, "Alright, the two of you will fight it out. The winner will receive an additional 10,000 credits as a reward. However, the sword mansion's entrance is about to appear, so there's not much time left. It's best to end this within three moves. "
Zhuge Chong didn't give Chu Mu the slightest chance to refuse, and neither did Chu Mu. This Huangfu Ba had made a move on him since the beginning and almost caused him to fall off the cliff. Perhaps he wouldn't have died, but it definitely wouldn't have felt good. Now that he had this opportunity, he could let Huangfu Ba know the consequences of provoking him.
"Alright, let's end this in one move." Huangfu Ba's face was filled with ruthlessness as he said to Chu Mu fiercely. Although his movement technique was not as good as Chu Mu's, and even his sword skills were not as good as Chu Mu's, Huangfu Ba was still 120% confident that he could defeat Chu Mu. This was all because of his powerful strength.
To end this in one move, he would have to use his strongest killing move to attack his opponent. Moreover, it would be a head-on clash, which was what Huangfu Ba was best at.
He believed that this brat, who was only at the peak of Tenth Phase, would definitely not be able to block his killing move. It would be best if he could kill Huang Xiaolong in one move, even if he couldn't kill Huang Xiaolong and severely injure him.
Everyone backed off one after another. Luo Yufeng looked worried, but he didn't say anything. He only nodded at Chu Mu to show his encouragement.
The wind blew over, but it was torn apart by the sharp aura. Huangfu Ba held the yellow-brown greatsword with both hands, which was filled with power. The yellow-brown sword Qi gushed out from his body, slowly flowing around the area before slowly condensing on the greatsword in his hand. The frightening sharp aura brought along a heavy pressure, as if a mountain was descending.
A sizzling sound was heard, and everyone felt as if the ground under their feet was shaking.
"Sword Like Mountain Suppressing the Earth!" Huangfu Ba roared, causing an earth-shattering explosion. He brazenly slashed out with his sword, and twenty percent of his Earth mentality merged together. A frightening power exploded, causing the air to explode and the space to be compressed.
The shadow of a mountain appeared, formed purely by Huangfu Ba's Earth sword Qi. It rumbled and pushed forward. Although it wasn't fast, it had a majestic and heavy feeling, as if a mountain was descending and suppressing everything. The surrounding students all felt suffocated. They couldn't help but back off due to the incomparably heavy pressure.
Chu Mu, who was facing the mountain-like pressure, felt his bones creaking. His eyelids slightly trembled, and a trace of blue light flashed in his eyes.
The huge pressure pressed down, and the sword mountain was vast and mighty. The surrounding air was completely frozen.
Suddenly, the Sword Light shot out like a rainbow, dazzling everyone's eyes. A gust of wind appeared out of nowhere, turning into a cool breeze. It collided with each other, turning into a roaring wind.
The simplified version of the Phase of Wind caused a terrifying gust of wind to blow. The sword mountain stopped as if it had fallen into a quagmire, unable to move forward. The surrounding people's hair and robes were all messed up by the gust of wind. Even their eyes were affected and they found it difficult to open them.
"This is …" Zhuge Chong frowned slightly, staring at Chu Mu in deep thought.
The gust of wind continued, and the sword mountain began to shake, showing signs of collapsing.
"Impossible …" Huangfu Ba's eyes widened, filled with disbelief. He hurriedly swung his sword again, and another sword mountain shot out. However, even though Chu Mu's sword Qi cultivation was not as good as his, he had infused thirty percent of his Wind Concept. Moreover, the simplified version of the Wind Image was far more powerful than regular high level Killing Moves.
In less than three breaths of time, the first sword mountain was blown away by the gust of wind, and the second sword mountain was blown away in less than two breaths of time as well. The terrifying gust of wind directly landed on Huangfu Ba's body.
"Hold on!" With a roar, Huangfu Ba held his sword in front of his chest with both hands. His Earth sword Qi condensed, and he resisted the gust of wind with all his might.
The sharp killing intent seemed to burst out from nowhere, directly landing on Huangfu Ba's sword. The power of the killing intent was extremely powerful, like a suppressed volcano erupting. It was not something that Huangfu Ba could resist.
With a boom, the sword flew out of his hand. Huangfu Ba's chest felt like it had been struck by a huge hammer, and he was blown away. He spat out blood as he flew a dozen meters away. He landed and rolled a few times before sprawling on the ground like a dead dog. His face was pale.
"B- he lost …" They were all dumbfounded.
Even Lian Qingyun and the others did not think that Chu Mu was Huangfu Ba's opponent. However, the reality before their eyes told them that everything was beyond their imagination. Huangfu Ba had been defeated by a single strike from Chu Mu.
Chu Mu's expression did not change. He remained indifferent, but he knew that he had used up almost all of his sword Qi to use the simplified version of the Wind Image. Moreover, he had used thirty percent of his Wind Concept.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to defeat Huangfu Ba so cleanly. After all, Huangfu Ba was not someone that a swordsman at Wei Hong's level could compare to. The difference was too great.
"Thirty percent … Wind Concept …" Others could not see it, but Zhuge Chong could see it clearly. He was even more surprised. "How much more is Chu Mu hiding?"
"One move to determine the outcome. Chu Mu wins and receives an additional ten thousand academic credits as a reward," Zhuge Chong announced. Zhuge Chong announced. He looked deeply at Chu Mu and continued, "Once you enter the Great Kun Sword Mansion, you will receive an identity sword badge. The reward will be directly inserted into your identity sword badge."
At this moment, Huangfu Ba also struggled to get up. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, took out a few elixirs, and threw them into his mouth. His face was pale as he glared fiercely at Chu Mu. There was still a faint fear in his eyes. He picked up his sword and stood to the side without saying a word.
The peak of the Black Dragon Mountain was spacious. Gusts of wind blew past, and traces of coldness invaded one's body.
A rumbling sound was heard, and a rainbow light shot out from the void. It separated to the left and right. Then, under everyone's shocked gazes, a huge glowing door appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The light was so bright and dazzling that no one dared to look directly at it. There was a strong majestic aura that made people want to worship it. It contained endless mysteries.
"The Great Kun Sword Mansion is located within the Great Kun Void Boundary. This door is the door to the Sword Mansion. All of you, follow me in." Zhuge Chong pointed at the huge glowing door and said. He immediately took the lead, turned into a stream of light, and entered the glowing door.
"Let's go." With a low shout, everyone moved quickly, turned into a stream of light, rushed into the glowing door like moths to a flame, and disappeared.
"Junior Brother, let's go." Luo Yufeng walked to Chu Mu's side and said.
"Okay." Chu Mu's sword aura recovered a little. He nodded and flew into the glowing door with Luo Yufeng. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
