According to the rules of the Sword Mansion, all students who participated in the Small Sword Pagoda Ranking Battle were eligible to enter the Cultivation Sacred Land to comprehend the concept.
However, students who were not in the top 100 were only allowed eight hours every three months. It was very short, and it was often difficult to make significant progress.
Only those who entered the top 100 and were listed on the Iron Sword Ranking Battle would have more time.
For example, the 100th place would have twenty hours to use the Cultivation Sacred Land, the 99th place would have twenty hours, and so on. Chu Mu, who was in the 65th place, would have forty five hours.
However, according to Chu Mu's understanding, there was a clear difference between the 31st and 30th place.
The 31st place had seventy-eight hours to use the Cultivation Sacred Land, while the 30th place had a clear increase, reaching ninety hours.
When it came to the 11th place and the 10th place, there was another difference.
Therefore, on the Iron Sword Ranking Battle, the names of the first to the 10th place were golden, the names of the 11th to the 30th place were silver, and the names of the 31st to the 100th place were red.
Since the first time he entered the White Cloud Ferry to comprehend the concept of clouds, Chu Mu would enter the White Cloud Ferry almost every day. Sometimes, he would enter the White Cloud Ferry one day apart.
Forty five hours was not long at all. In fact, it was very short. However, there were more than four thousand students in the Outer Mansion, and everyone had the opportunity to enter the Cultivation Sacred Land. On average, there were at least a few hundred people who entered the White Cloud Ferry.
Finally, another month passed. Within this month, Chu Mu's forty five hours had been used up. If he wanted to enter the Cultivation Sacred Land, he could only wait until the next Small Sword Pagoda Ranking Battle.
"The Cultivation Sacred Land's effect is really too good. I have already comprehended 29% of the concept of clouds. What a pity. If I had a few more hours, I would definitely have been able to comprehend 30%. " Chu Mu thought to himself as he left the White Cloud Ferry. After bidding farewell to the Guardian Elder of the Cultivation Sacred Land, he returned to the 65th Sword Tower.
"From the looks of it, we can be sure that this Chu Mu has indeed grasped two intents." The Guardian Elder looked at Chu Mu's departing figure and secretly said with certainty.
Chu Mu, who had just left the White Cloud Ferry, had not completely calmed down his Concept of Clouds. A normal sword practitioner might not be able to sense it, but the Guardian Elder had a profound cultivation base, and his own Concept of Clouds had also reached Minor Accomplishment. Naturally, he could distinguish it.
However, he was unable to discern what level Chu Mu had comprehended the Concept of Clouds, unless Chu Mu was willing to display it.
As soon as he returned to No. 65 Sword Tower, he saw a Deacon of the Hall of Hundred Affairs turn around and walk towards him. His eyes lit up when he saw Chu Mu.
"Chu Mu, Xie Donghua has applied for a challenge. I'm here to inform you that tomorrow afternoon, you and Xie Donghua will have a showdown in the arena outside the Hall of Hundred Affairs." The deacon got straight to the point.
"Alright." Chu Mu was not surprised at all. He nodded and said, "Thank you for your trouble."
"This is my duty." The deacon smiled and said, "Alright, I won't disturb you any longer. I hope you can still win tomorrow."
"I will." Chu Mu nodded and did not take Xie Donghua's challenge to heart. Unless Xie Donghua could also comprehend forty percent of the Concept of Wind, he would lose for sure.
"Twenty-nine percent of the Concept of Clouds. It's getting harder and harder to comprehend it outside. It seems that I can only wait until the next round of the Small Sword Pagoda Ranking Battle to obtain more time."
After entering the Sword Tower, Chu Mu went straight to the second floor. After putting down the fake sword, he found a comfortable position and casually pulled out a book from the bookshelf and opened it.
These books were all from the Sword Palace. They were not secret manuals of cultivation techniques, but books on culture, geography, customs, and so on. He could read them when he was free to increase his knowledge.
"Oh, right." As Chu Mu read, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind. He quickly closed the book and carefully recalled what Zhuge Ming had said, "It seems … as long as I defeat Xie Donghua tomorrow, I will be able to obtain some time in the sacred cultivation ground … I hope Xie Donghua's time hasn't been used up yet."
In the blink of an eye, a day passed and the next day arrived. In the afternoon, many people immediately gathered at the Sword Battle Arena.
The top ten of the Iron Sword Ranking still did not appear. However, there was one person in the top thirty. Han Ao, ranked twenty-ninth, had an arrogant expression. His striking aquiline nose gave him a natural arrogance.
In addition to Han Ao, more people from the Iron Sword Ranking appeared. There were more than twenty of them standing together and chatting.
On the Sword Battle Arena, Xie Donghua had already arrived. He closed his eyes and quietly waited for Chu Mu's arrival. He was not affected by the surrounding discussions at all.
Chu Mu's arrival was discovered by some sharp-eyed people. They immediately opened up a gap for Chu Mu to pass through. After a few leaps, Chu Mu jumped onto the stage and faced Xie Donghua.
"You will definitely lose this battle!" Xie Donghua opened his eyes. A cyan Qi vortex revolved as he spoke with incomparable certainty.
"If you have the cultivation of the Qi Transformation Realm, then this sentence can be realized." Chu Mu retorted.
"Let's see who's the real deal." Xie Donghua let out a long whistle. Like a gale, he unsheathed his sword. He lowered his body and held the sword in his hand. It was as if the sword in his hand had transformed into a gale and rushed out, faster than last time.
Chu Mu was locked in place. Before Xie Donghua arrived, he directly used the killing move Hundred Wind Breaking Shadows. This killing move's power was even stronger than last time and its speed was even faster.
"Even more powerful."
"Not bad. It seems that only with pressure comes motivation."
Two students on the Iron Sword Ranking discussed.
Phantom Steps. Nine shadows alternated between each other, confusing the eyes.
"What! Last month he only had eight shadows. Now he's actually cultivated nine shadows. Doesn't that mean he's about to reach perfection? "
"Perfection is not that easy."
The five shadows were immediately destroyed by the Hundred Wind Breaking Shadows. However, Chu Mu strangely appeared behind Xie Donghua. His sword stirred up a gale and slashed out.
Xie Donghua's body moved, floating to the side. He turned around and slashed out with his sword. Sword Qi split the air.
The tip of his sword shattered the sword aura, and Chu Mu borrowed the momentum to retreat while casting Wind Travel. Drawing an arc in the air, he landed on the ground and cast Phantom Steps again. Nine phantoms overlapped and confused Xie Donghua again.
His speed was fast, and his reaction was even faster. Xie Donghua waved his sword and slashed out dozens of Sword Qi, covering the entire arena.
Chu Mu was like a fish shuttling through the Sword Qi. His sword was as fast as lightning as it pierced towards Xie Donghua. A cold star rapidly enlarged in Xie Donghua's eyes.
With a clanging sound, sparks flew. Chu Mu's sword hit Xie Donghua's sword that he had blocked in time. Sword Qi exploded, and Xie Donghua quickly flew back.
However, Chu Mu's sword continued to press forward. With a light flick of his wrist, the sword vibrated. A slight vibration power penetrated the tip of the sword. Sword Qi exploded, shaking Xie Donghua's sword away.
With the Phantom Steps, Xie Donghua came back to his senses. He felt his hair stand on end. A cold chill descended on his body. The pores on his neck opened up, and goosebumps appeared.
There was no way to retreat. If he retreated, he would fall off the arena. His eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness as he waved his sword to counterattack.
With a clanging sound and sparks flying, Xie Donghua only felt his palm shaking. His sword paused for a moment. A shadow flashed in front of his eyes. There was a sword on his neck. The coldness of the sword penetrated his skin, making him shiver.
"I've lost." Xie Donghua's face was gloomy. This time, he had made ample preparations, and his strength had increased. However, he still lost. He finally understood that although Chu Mu's Sword Qi cultivation was not as good as his, the difference was not that big. In terms of the purity of his Sword Qi, he wasn't the slightest bit inferior. Moreover, his comprehension of the Concept of Wind was probably above his own. Moreover, his Sword Technique was more profound and profound than his own. His sword speed was faster than his own, and so on.
However, it could be considered as one more goal to chase after. It was more motivation. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
