Chu Mu didn't know that a lot of things had happened outside during the five days he was in seclusion.
"Big brother, you're out." Chu Wangdao saw Chu Mu and immediately said with joy, as if relieved of a heavy burden.
Five days, he never thought that these five days would be so difficult. Chu Mu handed over the management of the sword pavilion to him, but he had never had such experience. Therefore, it was very difficult to deal with many things, and he still didn't know what to do.
But no matter what, after five days, he had more or less grown.
"Did anything happen in the past few days?" Chu Mu asked casually.
"Big brother, your aura …" When Chu Mu spoke, Chu Wangdao also opened his mouth and looked at Chu Mu in surprise. Previously, he could feel that his big brother's cultivation was at the twelfth level of Qi Refining Realm, but now, it was very vague and strange.
"I have gained something from this seclusion. My cultivation has recovered, and my strength has improved." Chu Mu replied.
"That's great, big brother. You don't know, but right now, everyone outside is saying that you've been crippled, that you've become a cripple." Chu Wangdao said angrily. He had absolute trust in Chu Mu, so he didn't doubt his words.
"Tell me." Chu Mu said. He guessed that it was the dark-faced old man of the Exceptional Realm who said it.
"Big brother, many people came to visit you on the first day of your seclusion. Some families and martial arts schools in the eighth district, some families and martial arts schools in the entire eastern district, and some people from the Bear Wolf Gang sent gifts. There were also hundreds of people who became disciples of our sword pavilion." Chu Wangdao said quickly. Soon after, an angry look appeared on his face. "The next day, these people came again, saying that big brother had become a cripple and wanted to take back the gifts. Those hundreds of people who paid the yuan coins to become disciples also went back on their words and wanted to take back the yuan coins. I … I gave them all back."
Speaking of retreating, Chu Wangdao's face turned red. He seemed to be dissatisfied with the way he handled things.
"Good." Chu Mu had no intention of reprimanding him. One word made Chu Wangdao straighten his back. "Wangdao, you have to remember that you will be in charge of the Chu Sect Sword School in the future. When it's time to be tough, you absolutely have to be tough. This is the essential quality of a swordsman."
"Yes, Big Brother." King Chu answered forcefully, his aura soaring.
"Where are the original disciples?" Chu Mu asked.
"They all left as well." Chu Wangdao's momentum weakened again. He was a bit worried because if the Chu Sect Sword School didn't recruit any more disciples in the next three months, their qualifications would be revoked.
"It's good that he left." Chu Mu said, "Don't worry, I'm not crippled. On the contrary, my strength has improved a lot. So, there will be new disciples coming soon. You have to remember this. If someone wants to become a disciple of the Sword Pavilion, they must pay one low-grade Primordial Stone as a monthly fee. If you want to join for a year, then you have to pay ten low-grade Primordial Stones."
"One Primordial Stone!" Chu Wangdao was shocked. One had to know that the previous Sword Pavilion only charged ten Primordial Stones a month. Now, it had increased tenfold. He was very worried. With such a price, would anyone be willing to become a disciple of the Sword Pavilion?
"Don't worry, Wangdao, now come with me." Chu Mu said, took the Vast Sky Sword and walked out of the Chu Sect Sword School.
Chu Wangdao didn't know what Chu Mu was going to do, but he followed him out and locked the door.
Soon, Chu Wangdao knew the purpose of Chu Mu. It turned out that he wanted to challenge other martial arts schools.
In the eighth district of the east city, because of the Tian Luo Martial Arts School, most of the martial arts schools had closed down. There were only twenty or so left. Chu Mu began to challenge the closest one to the Chu Sect Sword School.
"Chu Wangting is here to challenge the Sword Pavilion." Chu Mu said bluntly.
Generally, when people came to challenge, they would say some polite words and then challenge. Chu Mu directly said that he wanted to challenge the Sword Pavilion. He didn't give any face and directly angered the other party.
"You, a cripple, dare to challenge the Sword Pavilion. You are courting death." The owner of the Sword Pavilion was angry.
"Pay attention, I am going to draw my sword." Chu Mu didn't pay attention to the other person's words. The moment he finished speaking, he slowly pulled out his sword. As the Vast Sky Sword was unsheathed, slivers of sharp sword aura permeated the air. For some reason, it caused the people of the dojo to shiver.
Immediately, Chu Mu stabbed out with his sword. The Vast Sky Sword pierced through the sky, using the Stabbing Formula of the Basic Sword Technique.
The owner of the Sword Pavilion was also at the twelfth level of the Qi Refining Realm, but he only saw the Sword Light flash in front of him. Before he could dodge, he immediately felt a stinging pain coming from his throat.
Chu Mu didn't kill him, but left a red mark on his throat.
"Let's go to the next one." Chu Mu sheathed his sword and said to Chu Wangdao. He turned around and strode away. The people of the Sword Pavilion didn't dare to stop him. That sword let them know that the owner of the Chu Sect Sword Pavilion didn't become a cripple.
"Which bastard spread the news? A cripple, does a cripple have such strength?" The owner of the Sword Pavilion roared until Chu Mu was far away.
…
He challenged the Sword Pavilion one after another, but no one could withstand Chu Mu's sword.
Before his re-cultivation, Chu Mu's strength was enough to sweep them away. Not to mention that after his re-cultivation, his strength was many times stronger.
Chu Wangdao followed Chu Mu and challenged one Sword Pavilion after another. His admiration for Chu Mu rose in a straight line. Every time Chu Mu attacked, Chu Wangdao would watch with rapt attention. Although he couldn't understand it, it also opened his eyes.
Chu Mu didn't hide his challenges. On the contrary, there was a bit of fanfare. Therefore, it didn't take long for the news to spread and let many people know.
The owner of the Chu Sect Sword Pavilion, Chu Wangting, went around challenging other Sword Pavilions.
When the news spread, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"Didn't Chu Wangting become a cripple?"
"Yes, it is said that the last time he fought with Xiahou Yuan, he used some secret method to kill Xiahou Yuan, but he was also crippled."
"How dare a cripple challenge those Sword Pavilions?"
"Let's go and take a look."
After more and more people heard the news, they followed behind Chu Mu and Chu Wangdao, watching them walk into one Sword Pavilion after another and leave with the posture of a victor.
Soon, more than twenty Sword Pavilions were all challenged by Chu Mu.
The reason why these Sword Pavilions didn't close down was because they were supported by forces behind them. But now, after being challenged by Chu Mu, their prestige was hit.
"Next, let's go to the Tian Luo Martial Pavilion." Chu Mu said.
"Okay." Chu Wangdao was very excited.
Chu Mu didn't hide his words, and it was heard by others. The crowd spread the news and became even more excited.
Not long ago, Chu Mu and the owner of the Tian Luo Martial Pavilion, Xiahou Yuan, had a Life-and-Death Battle. Now, the new owner of the Tian Luo Martial Pavilion was said to be stronger. No one knew if he could win.
…
"I heard that you have become a cripple. Now, it seems that the news is wrong." The newly arrived Heaven's Luo Martial Dojo Master sized up Chu Mu from head to toe and promptly laughed. However, he was extremely shocked in his heart because the news of Chu Mu becoming a cripple had come from the head dojo master. The head dojo master definitely had no reason to lie.
Chu Mu didn't answer the other party's words. He felt that this new owner seemed to be somewhat similar to Xiahou Yuan, who died under his sword.
"You must have used a secret technique to kill Xiahou Yuan, which caused your meridians to be broken and your dantian to be damaged. You lost your cultivation and became a cripple. But now, you are intact. You must have a big secret." The new owner's eyes were sharp as if he wanted to see through Chu Mu. "And now, you are challenging other Sword Pavilions, and finally, you challenged the Tian Luo Martial Pavilion. It shows that you want to show the prestige of the Chu Sect Sword Pavilion and recruit disciples. In fact, why do you have to do this? I think you are a talent. Why don't you come to my Tian Luo Martial Pavilion and be the deputy owner? It's better than running your own Sword Pavilion."
"What is your relationship with Xiahou Yuan?" Chu Mu asked. This clearly wasn't following the script, causing the other party to be stunned. Soon after, he laughed, "I'm called Xiahou Shan. Xiahou Yuan is precisely my good-for-nothing younger brother. Our relationship as brothers wasn't very good. Thank you for killing him. However, he is ultimately my younger brother. Therefore, if you don't agree to become my Hall's Vice Hall Master, then I won't hold back."
Xiahou Shan seemed to be a chatterbox.
"Make your move." Chu Mu's words were concise. He could tell that Xiahou Shan's cultivation was indeed higher than Xiahou Yuan. He was at the tenth level of the Origin Realm. His entire body contained traces of domineering aura. His strength should be much higher than Xiahou Yuan's. If it was before, Chu Mu would have to forcefully use the Dao Seeking Sword Art to harm himself. But now …
"Previously, you had a bet with my useless younger brother. Why don't we make another bet now?" Xiahou Shan's right hand grabbed at the air and a domineering looking broadsword appeared from his interspatial ring. "I will fight with you. If you lose, you will become the head instructor of the Martial Arts Hall. If I lose, I will give you five hundred upper grade primordial stones. How about that?"
"Alright." Chu Mu agreed without hesitation. Five hundred upper grade primordial stones was indeed a good deal.
Xiahou Shan probably had absolute confidence in his own strength. That was true because Xiahou Shan, who was at the tenth level of the Origin Realm, had once fought to a draw with an expert at the eleventh level of the Origin Realm.
The ninth level of the Origin Realm belonged to the Origin Realm Dacheng. The tenth level of the Origin Realm belonged to the complete level of the Origin Realm. That was the difference between the God Condensation Realm and the Manifestation Realm. It was the difference between the profoundness and the laws. It was very, very big.
"Take my move, Splitting Mountain!" Xiahou Shan leaped up and held the domineering broadsword with both hands. He slashed down from the sky. A terrifying power condensed on the broadsword. When the broadsword slashed down, it was as if it could split a mountain in half.
Of course, the Origin Realm's space was many times stronger than the Deep Blue World. Its correction power was even more shocking. Therefore, the same amount of power could cause different destruction in the Deep Blue World and the Origin Realm. The difference was at least a thousand times.
The moment Xiahou Shan's broadsword slashed down, Chu Mu's Vast Sky Sword was unsheathed.
The difference between the twelfth level of the Qi Cultivation Realm and the tenth level of the Origin Realm was ignored by Chu Mu.
