Chu Mu stood on the first floor of the Sword Tower with his sword in hand. His sword aura fluctuated as if it wanted to flow to the sword in his hand, but it seemed to be obstructed by something.
"If I can personally experience the attack of the sword aura, I might be able to understand," Chu Mu thought to himself. He had no choice but to disperse the sword aura.
Experiencing it personally was the most direct and effective method. It was many times faster than cultivating behind closed doors. Of course, there was also the possibility of danger.
"I heard that Huangfu Shenglong is about to break through to the Qi Transformation Realm and is currently in seclusion to prepare. What a pity."
Chu Mu thought to himself. He left the Sword Tower and headed for the Small Sword Pagoda. A new round of the Small Sword Pagoda Ranking Battles had begun.
This was Chu Mu's third time participating in the Small Sword Pagoda Ranking Battles after entering the Great Kun Sword Mansion. He had obtained good rankings in the first two times, and each time, his ranking was higher than the last.
The Small Sword Pagoda was bustling with noise and excitement. Apart from the top three, everyone else had come here to participate in the Small Sword Pagoda Ranking Battles. It could be said that Chu Mu had spurred everyone on.
Huangfu Feiyan rolled her eyes and said to Chu Mu, "Hey, cold-faced man, how about we have a competition?" A sly smile appeared on her face.
"How do we compete?" Chu Mu faintly smiled and said.
"It's very simple. We're going to challenge the Small Sword Pagoda in a bit. Let's compete and see who has a higher ranking wins," Huangfu Feiyan said with a smile.
Huangfu Kuang stood to the side, the corner of his mouth twitching. He didn't say a word.
"Sure, but what if I win? So what if I lose? "Chu Mu faintly smiled and said.
"It's impossible for me to lose." Huangfu Feiyan puffed out her chest and said confidently.
"That's not necessarily true." Chu Mu said, "Let's talk about the outcome first."
"If I win, you have to agree to a condition of mine. No matter what it is, you have to comply." Huangfu Feiyan rolled her eyes and said, "If you win, I will also agree to a condition of yours."
"Does that mean I have to comply with all conditions?" Chu Mu asked with a smile.
Huangfu Feiyan seemed to be hesitating. Chu Mu didn't say a word and just looked at Huangfu Feiyan. Huangfu Feiyan gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, you win. I can promise you one thing. I'll comply with anything."
The corners of Huangfu Kuang's mouth twitched again, but he still didn't say anything.
The bet between Chu Mu and Huangfu Feiyan was only a small interlude.
Soon, a hundred names appeared on the Metal Sword Ranking. A hundred students flew into the Small Sword Pagoda. At the same time, the hundred incense sticks were lit.
Among the one hundred students, only three of them were on the Iron Sword Ranking. These three people had persisted for a relatively long time, and each of them had more than forty incense sticks.
Very quickly, the second batch entered the Small Sword Pagoda. This batch did not have anyone on the Iron Sword Ranking, so they could only last until the thirty-fifth incense stick.
Huangfu Changtian entered the third batch.
During this half a year of cultivation, Huangfu Changtian's overall strength had an obvious improvement. However, the others wouldn't fall behind by much. In the end, Huangfu Changtian persisted until the thirty-eighth incense stick, which was an improvement compared to the previous time.
Lian Qingyun entered the fourth batch. In the end, Lian Qingyun also persisted until the thirty-eighth incense stick. It could be said that Huangfu Changtian was neck and neck. The two of them seemed to be fated opponents.
After that, Sun Changfeng, Huangfu Bingning, Gao Guling, Nangong Haoyang, and the others also had some improvement, but it wasn't especially obvious.
Luo Yufeng felt that after a period of cultivation, his overall strength had improved quite a bit. Thus, he had the idea of testing himself and signed up to participate in the Small Sword Pagoda's challenge.
In the end, he persisted for two more incense sticks than the first time. In terms of strength, he had indeed improved.
Xie Donghua, who was defeated by Chu Mu, also participated, but his improvement was only a little. As for Han Ao, he also participated, but there was almost no improvement.
Han Ao kept staring at Chu Mu, thinking about how to get Chu Mu to join the Proud Sword Gang. He increasingly felt that if Chu Mu joined, the Proud Sword Gang would definitely become very powerful in the future.
Batch after batch of students entered the Small Sword Pagoda to challenge. Although the Small Sword Pagoda's challenge method had never changed, many people had already participated several times. However, this experience only allowed them to deal with it more freely in the beginning. Once they reached the end, when the enemies became stronger and more numerous, they wouldn't be able to deal with it.
Everything still depended on one's own strength. As long as one's strength was sufficient, they would be able to sweep through everything.
After another batch, Huangfu Feiyan's name instantly appeared on the Metal Sword Leaderboard.
"Cold-faced man, it's my turn. Watch carefully." Huangfu Feiyan raised her fist and waved it in front of Chu Mu. With a flash, her figure nimbly landed in front of the Small Sword Pagoda like a swallow.
"Brother Chu, let me tell you something. The bet with Little Feiyan is the most unreliable." Huangfu Kuang took advantage of the opportunity when Huangfu Feiyan entered the Small Sword Pagoda to approach Chu Mu and whisper, as if he was afraid that Huangfu Feiyan would hear him.
"Why?" Chu Mu was a little puzzled.
"Because if she wins, she'll definitely think of strange conditions to make things difficult for you, and you won't know whether to laugh or cry. But if she loses, she'll play dumb and think of all sorts of excuses and methods to delay until nothing is settled." Huangfu Kuang spoke with an extremely emotional expression as if he had suffered greatly.
Chu Mu only smiled and didn't take it to heart. In fact, he had a general idea of Huangfu Feiyan's strength after a short fight with her. If it was a ranking battle in the Small Sword Pagoda, Chu Mu was 100% confident that he could beat her.
Even if Huangfu Feiyan reneged on the bet after losing, Chu Mu didn't care. This was originally just a small fun process, and he didn't care about the result.
"Brother Chu, please don't tell anyone that I told you this. Otherwise, if Little Feiyan finds out, I will definitely be in big trouble," Huangfu Kuang warned. Chu Mu nodded.
Inside the Small Sword Pagoda, Huangfu Feiyan, who had just killed a powerful enemy, suddenly felt her nose itch and couldn't help but sneeze.
"It must be that big guy talking bad about me. When I get out, I have to force him to tell me what he said." Huangfu Feiyan muttered to herself. Her figure moved like a swallow, dodging the enemy's attack and counterattacking like a swallow.
The thyme burned one by one, and one by one, students were ejected. In the end, only Huangfu Feiyan was left fighting inside.
The thyme had already burned to the 60th section.
"Last time, Little Feiyan lasted until the 88th section. She didn't participate several times. Her strength is much stronger than before. Maybe this time, she can last until the 90th section. That way, her ranking will definitely be higher," Huangfu Kuang said.
"Oh, how many sections did Huangfu Shenglong last?" Chu Mu suddenly asked.
"Last time, Big Brother Shenglong lasted for 94 sections. If he comes again, he can definitely last until the 95th section," Huangfu Kuang said with certainty.
Chu Mu nodded thoughtfully. "Right, according to what you know, what's the record for the longest section?"
"It's said that someone lasted until the 99th section. That seems to be the highest record." Huangfu Kuang thought for a moment and said, "However, the 99th section is too difficult. I feel that even the current Big Brother Shenglong can't do it. After all, the further you go, the more powerful the enemies will be. The slightest carelessness will cause you to lose."
"En." Chu Mu nodded.
At this time, the thyme had already burned to the 91st section.
A figure was ejected and safely landed on the ground. In a flash, she appeared in front of Chu Mu, her face full of pride.
Huangfu Feiyan raised her fist and said, "What do you think, cold-faced man? I lasted for ninety-one incense sticks, even more than the pretty boy. This time, I can at least move up a rank. You should admit defeat as soon as possible."
"You're the one who has to admit defeat." Chu Mu smiled.
"Then I'll wait." Huangfu Feiyan snorted and stood to the side. Her eyes darted around as if she was thinking of something.
After another two batches, Chu Mu's ranking appeared on the Iron Sword Leaderboard … If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
