In a flash, twenty days had passed.
The number of disciples in the Chu Sect Sword Pavilion had reached three hundred. Less than one hundred were the foundation, one hundred and fifty were the first level, forty were the second level, and ten were the third level.
In just twenty days, the Chu Sect Sword Pavilion had earned a lot of vitality stones. And these vitality stones, Chu Mu didn't touch them and left them all to Chu Wangdao. After all, the Sword Pavilion was to be managed by Chu Wangdao. His cultivation and strength must be improved.
With Chu Mu's tailor-made cultivation methods and sword techniques, as well as a sufficient supply of vitality, and some medicinal pills as support, Chu Wangdao's cultivation had stepped into the twelfth level of Qi Cultivation. His sword technique had also improved significantly. His strength had increased by several times compared to the past. Almost every day, Chu Wangdao could feel himself growing.
This kind of growth was not only the growth of cultivation and strength, but also the growth of the mind. Because Chu Mu had handed over many things in the Sword Pavilion to him, it was difficult at first, but gradually it became orderly.
The challenge threshold of five hundred upper-grade vitality stones made many people flinch. In recent days, Chu Mu had been much more relaxed.
He Lianyu asked for advice on sword techniques every day. Under Chu Mu's careful guidance, the improvement was also very obvious.
Outside the Kendo Hall, two people came. One of them was a young man. He was dressed differently from the others. He wore a tight suit on the inside and a long robe on the outside. It looked more like a windbreaker. On the back of the white windbreaker-like robe, there was a large silver cross starlight pattern. Surrounding the silver cross starlight were seven small silver swords.
As for the middle-aged man, he was wearing soft armor and had an expressionless face. His aura was obscure, like a wooden man.
"The Chu Sect Sword Pavilion is here." The young man smiled slightly, as if talking to himself, and strode in.
As the Sword Pavilion slowly developed, all aspects naturally had to keep up. Therefore, Chu Wangdao hired two people to receive guests.
"I'm here to challenge the Pavilion Master." The young man said directly.
"Wait a moment." Immediately, someone went to the backyard to inform Chu Mu.
"Someone sent vitality stones again." He Lianyu, who was practicing his swordsmanship, didn't stop. He had seen many challengers who couldn't compare to Chu Mu in terms of swordsmanship.
After receiving permission, the young man and the middle-aged man stepped into the backyard. They glanced around and their gazes naturally fell on Chu Mu.
"Oh, so he really is at the twelfth level of the Qi Refining Stage. How can someone with this level of cultivation be called the number one sword in the City of Flowers?" The young man muttered to himself. It was as if he was asking himself, but it was also as if he was asking Chu Mu.
"Cultivation is not equal to swordsmanship." Chu Mu replied. The moment he saw the young man, he knew that the young man was not very old, but his cultivation base was already at the Eternal Realm. His talent was even more outstanding than Lu Shi's. Moreover, he was someone with a strong background. He was not a simple person.
As for the expressionless middle-aged man, Chu Mu also saw at a glance that his cultivation base was at the Eternal Realm. He was much higher than the young man, but the young man was the leader.
On the other hand, He Lianyu was stunned when he saw the young man. His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. He seemed to recognize the young man.
"I'm here to ask for advice on swordsmanship. If I win, these vitality stones will be yours." The young man said. He waved his hand and one box after another was neatly arranged on the ground. There were a total of ten boxes. It was estimated that there were a thousand upper-grade vitality stones.
Chu Mu naturally wouldn't be polite. After all, it was a competition of swordsmanship, not cultivation base.
"Please." Chu Mu said, unsheathing his Vast Sky Sword.
"A mid-grade treasure weapon is a little weak. Since that's the case, I can't take advantage of a sword." The young man smiled and a sword appeared in his hand. It was also a mid-grade sword weapon.
Without saying anything more, the young man attacked with his sword.
His sword pierced towards Chu Mu. It looked ordinary, but it was extremely fast. Moreover, it contained a shocking killing intent. That killing intent seemed to be condensed naturally, and it wasn't deliberately targeted at Chu Mu.
Just this sword made Chu Mu know that the young man's sword skill was most likely a sword skill with an extremely heavy killing intent.
The tip of a sword was extremely sharp, and its lethality was also astonishing. Therefore, stabbing was a very common technique in sword arts.
The sword pierced towards Chu Mu like an aurora. It was so fast that He Lianyu's eyes couldn't catch it. The middle-aged man secretly nodded.
Chu Mu didn't dodge. Instead, he countered the attack with his own sword. This sword seemed even more ordinary. The young man and the middle-aged man couldn't see through it. Their first impression was that it was child's play.
"You dare to call yourself number one in Flower City with such a sword skill?" The young man thought. He planned to defeat his opponent with one sword. Although he didn't kill him, he still wanted to teach him a lesson.
Just as the thought appeared in his mind, he suddenly realized that his sword seemed to have lost its target. A dot of sword light was rapidly expanding in front of his eyes. It filled his eyes and filled his entire world. There was no way to dodge it.
The young man had no choice but to quickly retreat. However, the dot of sword light followed him and kept chasing after him. Its speed was extremely fast.
He swung his sword. Sword Light poured down like a torrential rain. It was densely packed and poured towards Chu Mu. It covered an area of a few meters in front of him. There wasn't the slightest gap.
Chu Mu's wrist shook. The sword trembled slightly and turned into countless Sword Light. It was like a meteor shower. It shattered the young man's sword light and turned into a stab.
Go, go, go!
Retreat, retreat, retreat!
As he retreated, he kept swinging his sword to defend and counterattack. However, no matter what kind of defense or counterattack he used, they were all broken by his opponent. Moreover, his opponent only used one stab. It wasn't any different from before. However, it was this stab that forced him to retreat. He couldn't block it. No matter how he dodged, the tip of the sword was always in front of his eyes. It kept getting closer and closer.
Ever since he started cultivating, he had encountered many opponents. Some were strong, some were weak. However, he had never encountered such a situation.
The middle-aged man's eyes widened. His right hand seemed to be trembling slightly. It was as if he would make a move at the critical moment to save the young man. However, his heart was extremely shocked.
He Lianyu was also stunned.
Suddenly, the young man took another step back. He suddenly felt that his body was blocked by something. It turned out that he had unknowingly been blocked. He had actually retreated to the corner of the wall. Behind him was the wall.
There was no place to retreat. Unless he used his cultivation to break the wall behind him.
The Sword Light pierced towards him in an instant. It was as if it came from the heavens. The young man's pupils contracted. Just as he was about to explode with his cultivation, the Sword Light retreated in an instant. It was as if it had never appeared.
The young man suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately, he found that his forehead was sweating.
"This …" He and the middle-aged man didn't know what to say at all. Such a swordsmanship was many levels higher than his.
After a long time, the young man looked at Chu Mu with a hint of awe. His tone was not as casual as before. "My swordsmanship is already at the Advanced Stage of the Human Realm. It's only a step away from the Peak. Your Excellency's swordsmanship is so excellent. Have you already stepped into the Earth Realm?"
Chu Mu just smiled and didn't answer.
"Your Excellency, please teach me one more time." The young man saluted with his sword and said.
Even though his cultivation was far higher than Chu Mu's, he was a sword cultivator. In the eyes of a sword cultivator, the realm of swordsmanship was obviously more important than cultivation.
"Please." Chu Mu said. For the sake of the ten boxes of Primordial Stones.
The young man attacked again. This time, he displayed his swordsmanship at the Advanced Stage of the Human Realm to the extreme. Except for not using any other power, he also exerted all the swordsmanship he had learned.
Since the young man sincerely asked for advice, Chu Mu didn't defeat him with one strike like before. Instead, he countered the young man's moves with a hint of advice.
After more than ten moves, Chu Mu defeated the young man with one strike.
"Thank you for your advice. I feel that my swordsmanship is about to make a breakthrough. I wonder if I can borrow a cultivation room." After putting away his sword, the young man saluted Chu Mu again. This time, he saluted with two swords.
Chu Mu naturally didn't refuse. Immediately, the young man hurried into the cultivation room and began to meditate, while the middle-aged man stood guard outside the door.
"Brother Chu …" He Lianyu came to his senses and stuttered. "You … defeated him in swordsmanship …"
"Brother He Lianyu, do you know him?" Chu Mu asked.
"I don't know him, but I know who he is." He Lianyu gradually regained his fluency. "Brother Chu, you know that the land under our feet is called the Land of South Star. It is vast and has a population of billions. It is divided into four regions by the four forces. The 36 cities belong to the Heavenly Star Sect. In addition to the Heavenly Star Sect, the other three forces are called the Southern Cross Army, the Sun Mountain, and the Eastern Star Mansion."
Chu Mu listened. The Chu Royal Court didn't know this.
"Among the four forces, there are only a few top geniuses in each generation. They have a special name. For example, the Heavenly Star Sect has the Seven Sons, who are the best of their generation. The Southern Cross Army has six of the Seven Sons, called the Southern Cross Star. They are the Seven Kills Star, the Greedy Wolf Star, the Army Destroyer Star, the Purple Dipper Star, the Dark Demon Star, and the Crimson Emperor Star. The strange robe that the young man was wearing had a silver cross on the back, indicating that he was a member of the Southern Cross Army. There were also seven small swords on it, which is the symbol of the Seven Kills Star."
"Among the six stars of the Southern Cross Army, only the Seven Kills Star is a sword cultivator. It is said that he has amazing talent in swordsmanship, surpassing many of his peers and comparable to the older generation of sword cultivators. Today, I see that he lives up to his reputation." He Lianyu exclaimed and looked at Chu Mu.
Chu Mu didn't expect that young man to have such a great background.
The Southern Cross Army was a force on the same level as the Heavenly Star Sect. It was also a powerful force with a Great Emperor.
With a wave of his hand, Chu Mu opened the lids of the ten boxes. Suddenly, an astonishing amount of Yuan Qi filled the air, startling Chu Mu and He Lianyu.
"Supreme-grade … Primordial Stones!" He Lianyu was dumbfounded.
A total of 1,000 Supreme-grade Primordial Stones. This was a big deal.
Chu Mu couldn't help but sigh. He was indeed rich. With these Primordial Stones, his cultivation could successfully break through to the Origin Realm and improve as much as possible.
