"Senior Brother Li, that guy is incomparably arrogant. He doesn't put us old students in his eyes at all." Two figures walked over from afar. One of them was Zhang Qingwei, who was spitting saliva as he spoke to the other person. The moment he thought of Chu Mu's sword at his throat and the fact that he had to transfer his remaining 600 academic credits to Chu Mu, he was unable to restrain his anger.
"You're too useless. You can't even suppress a new student. You've wasted a year." The one called Senior Brother Li frowned and looked at Zhang Qingwei with dissatisfaction.
"Senior Brother Li, although that guy is a new student and his sword qi cultivation is only at the peak of 10th stage, his strength is not to be underestimated." Zhang Qingwei tried his best to defend himself. He would rather say that the other party was incomparably tyrannical than admit that he was useless.
"Humph, a mere peak of 10th stage new student. No matter how powerful he is, he can at most defeat an ordinary half-step Qi Transformation cultivator. How powerful can he be?" Li Yingrui was even more dissatisfied. His expression was somewhat cold as he berated.
"Yes, yes. But that guy's sword speed was extremely fast. Even I had a hard time blocking it." Zhang Qingwei carefully recalled the situation at that time. Although he didn't pay much attention to the other party, the other party's sword speed was extremely fast. He knew that he couldn't reach that kind of sword speed.
"Sword speed is fast? What's the use of that? It's only a component of strength. If your cultivation can't keep up, then no matter how fast your sword speed is, it won't be able to do much damage. " Li Yingrui said, "Over the years, the most powerful new student who entered the Outer Palace was only ranked 160th in the Small Sword Pagoda. He didn't even have the qualifications to leave his name on the Metal Sword Leaderboard. And over the years, the best new student who entered the Small Sword Pagoda for the first time didn't surpass the 200th rank. There's nothing to worry about. "
"Of course. No matter how powerful he is, he can't compare to Senior Brother Li, who is ranked 123rd in the Small Sword Pagoda. I believe that Senior Brother Li only needs to use one sword move to defeat him and let him know Senior Brother Li's power." Zhang Qingwei flattered.
Li Yingrui didn't say anything, but a proud smile hung on the corner of his mouth. Among the thousands of Outer Palace disciples, being ranked 123rd in the Small Sword Pagoda was indeed very amazing.
Only those who had actually challenged the Small Sword Pagoda could understand the difficulty and power within.
"Senior Brother Li, that guy is over there!" Zhang Qingwei's gaze swept over, and he was stunned for a moment. Then, he pointed ahead and shouted.
…
Chu Mu sheathed his sword and glanced around indifferently. No one dared to look at him. They lowered their heads and turned to leave.
At the same time, Zhang Qingwei's loud shout attracted everyone's attention.
"Chu Mu, stop right there!" Zhang Qingwei quickly dashed over, turning into a streak of light that swept past Chu Mu, blocking his path.
Li Yingrui slowly walked over with a fake sword on his back. There was a faint smile on his face.
"Ah, it's him!" An old student's expression changed slightly as he exclaimed in a low voice.
"Senior Brother Li, it's Senior Brother Li Yingrui."
"In the last round of the Small Sword Pagoda ranking battle, he was ranked 123rd. His cultivation is incomparably profound, and his swordsmanship is unparalleled. There are few who can match him. Moreover, Senior Brother Li is a member of the Proud Sword Gang. Not only is he powerful, but he also has a powerful backer."
"It seems like he's here to cause trouble for this new student. Great, I can finally vent my anger."
"This new student is very powerful. Senior Brother Li, he …"
"What are you worried about? No matter how powerful this new student is, there's a limit. The reason why he could defeat us was purely because of a trick. He's definitely not a match for Senior Brother Li."
"I can't wait to see his end."
The old students' deathly pale faces faded away, and they glowed with a rosy glow. It was as if they had been reborn.
"Get lost!" Chu Mu coldly spat out a word. Immediately, the veins on Zhang Qingwei's forehead bulged. He flew into a rage, and without another word, he drew his sword and slashed at Chu Mu.
Chu Mu's body swayed, and his footsteps became disorderly. He drew his sword, and the Sword Light shot out like a waterfall. Zhang Qingwei hurriedly moved his sword to block. The sword style changed, and like a shadow, it passed through Zhang Qingwei's sword and heavily bombarded Zhang Qingwei's protective sword Qi.
With a bang, the sword Qi exploded. Zhang Qingwei staggered back a few steps, and stared at Chu Mu fiercely. His face was ashen. He gripped his sword with his right hand, and the sword Qi surged violently. The five-inch sword light flickered and pierced through the void.
Although the purity and quantity of his sword Qi were not as good as his opponent's, Chu Mu's unfathomable swordsmanship allowed him to maximize the power of each sword attack. The explosion of the sword Qi and his own power overlapped, and the vibration on the sword blade became one. The power multiplied, and almost tore Zhang Qingwei's protective sword Qi apart.
Although Zhang Qingwei was angry, he was also afraid. He didn't attack again because of Li Yingrui's arrival.
"Not bad. As a new student who is only at the peak of Tenth Stage, you have completely exceeded my expectations." Li Yingrui's gaze was as sharp as a goshawk's. He praised Chu Mu in a condescending tone. Suddenly, his expression changed, and his tone became cold. "However, a new student should act like one. Don't think that just because you have some strength, you can act like a tyrant. You may not know this, but the Great Kun Sword Mansion is not something the outside world can compare to. Everyone here is a genius."
"So what?" Chu Mu realized more and more that the competition in the Great Kun Sword Mansion was fierce and cruel.
"As a senior brother, I won't lower myself to your level." Li Yingrui's expression changed again, and he spoke in a condescending tone. "You only need to transfer thirty thousand of the thirty-seven thousand credits you have as compensation. Then, kneel down and apologize to him, and this matter will be over. In the future, you will receive the protection of the Proud Sword Clan. As long as you perform well enough, you may even be recruited to become a member of the Proud Sword Clan."
"That's right. Kneel down and apologize." Zhang Qingwei grinned and said fiercely.
The new students were all stunned. This Senior Brother Li was too overbearing. Not only did he have to hand over the credits, he even wanted him to kneel down and kowtow. If it were them, they wouldn't be able to endure it, let alone someone like Chu Mu.
They all widened their eyes and held their breaths. They wanted to see how Chu Mu would respond. Subconsciously, they also secretly encouraged Chu Mu to not kneel down and kowtow to apologize.
This was not only related to Chu Mu's reputation, but also the reputation of the new students.
Chu Mu glanced at Zhang Qingwei, then raised his eyelids and swept his gaze towards Li Yingrui. His eyes emitted a sharp light, and he stabbed his sword towards Li Yingrui at an extremely fast speed.
Li Yingrui was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that his opponent would actually dare to attack him with his sword. However, he was extremely experienced in combat and his strength was tyrannical. His reaction was quick. He immediately shifted to dodge and counterattacked with his sword. Sword Light tore through the sky.
Li Yingrui didn't show any mercy when he attacked. He directly used his most proficient move, the Thirteen Forms of Soaring Eagle. His sword transformed into a ferocious eagle that was about to grab Chu Mu and tear him into pieces with its sharp claws.
The murderous aura was oppressive, and the sharp cry of the eagle was extremely ear-piercing. Regardless of whether it was the old students or the new students, they all retreated far away. Otherwise, they would feel uncomfortable and their ears would hurt.
"Soaring Eagle Sword Art. You're in trouble." Zhang Qingwei was overjoyed. He didn't dare to stay any longer and hurriedly retreated. At the same time, he laughed loudly.
Chu Mu's mind moved. He recalled the various sword arts that he had seen in the Hidden Art Pavilion. He seemed to have seen the Soaring Eagle Sword Art. The brief introduction on the note stated that the Soaring Eagle Sword Art was a high-grade sword art. Moreover, its power was extraordinary among high-grade sword arts. Every basic sword move could transform into an extremely ferocious eagle.
When the final killing move was used, its power was extremely powerful. It required 800 credits to exchange for it. In terms of power, it wasn't inferior to the Golden Edge Sword Art by much.
Chu Mu could tell that Li Yingrui had already cultivated the Soaring Eagle Sword Art to Dacheng's level. With every sword move and basic move, eagles formed from sword Qi circled around in the surroundings. They swooped down in an extremely aggressive manner.
With a change of sword move, a faint golden light shot out. It was incomparably sharp as the Golden Edge Sword Art was executed. Every sword move was so sharp that it tore through the air.
The eagles swooped down from above. Chu Mu's sword tore through the air and defeated the eagles.
The tip of the sword was like a cold star. The faint golden light pierced through the air. The terrifying sharpness caused one's hair to stand on end. Under the sharpness of the sword, the eagles were torn apart and scattered.
Li Yingrui was shocked. He originally thought that once he used the Soaring Eagle Sword Art, he would be able to defeat the opponent within ten moves. He didn't expect that he would be suppressed by the opponent. With his eyesight, he could tell that the sword art that the opponent used was not inferior to his Soaring Eagle Sword Art. Moreover, the degree of mastery was even more profound than his. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the other party to defeat his eagles.
"Take my move, Soaring Eagle Thirteen Transformations!" Li Yingrui shouted. Sword Qi swept out as he executed his killing move. Thirteen one-meter long Sword Qi eagles circled in the air. They let out ear-piercing screeches as they spread their wings and swooped down like bombers, locking onto Chu Mu.
"He didn't use his mentality." In an instant, Chu Mu made a judgment. The Sword Qi gathered, the Sword Light condensed, and the golden edge split the air.
The needle-like golden light disappeared into the void. The Sword Qi eagles swooped down, but suddenly split into two and strangely scattered.
The thirteen eagles scattered and turned into a storm of Sword Qi that swept out in all directions. Chu Mu and Li Yingrui's robes fluttered in the wind. The remaining golden sword light attacked Li Yingrui. Li Yingrui shattered it with one sword, but he took two steps back and faced Chu Mu from afar.
Both the new students and the old students were stunned, especially the old students. This new student could actually fight against Senior Brother Li, and it seemed that Senior Brother Li was at a disadvantage. It was simply unbelievable.
Was he trying to defy the heavens?
"Not bad, not bad. You can let me have a good look." Li Yingrui's expression kept changing. Suddenly, he smiled and sheathed his sword. "This matter ends here. I am looking forward to the Small Sword Pagoda Ranking Battle in a month's time. I wonder what rank you will get."
"Senior Brother Li …" Zhang Qingwei hurriedly called out, but Li Yingrui didn't bother to pay attention to him. He turned around and left.
Zhang Qingwei looked at Li Yingrui and then at Chu Mu. He was very unwilling to give up, so he hurriedly chased after Li Yingrui.
Chu Mu withdrew his gaze and sheathed his sword. He turned around and left without looking at the new students. (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.)
