(Are you out of your mind? You actually thought that I had already updated.)
Lin Mo had lost five hundred Sword City Points. Shang Zhizhen and the other two were naturally happy, but the others might not be. Thus, there was an awkward silence.
After all, Cao Jianzheng was the initiator. He immediately said with a smile, "Just now, I was thinking about creating a move. Now, I will send it into the Will Stone. Which Sword Of Gojoseon is willing to teach me a thing or two?"
"I'll be the first to sign up." Immediately, someone agreed. The atmosphere became lively again. Otherwise, this gathering would be a failure.
"One hundred Sword City Points." The black-robed Tower Master Su looked at Chu Mu and suddenly said. Then, she walked towards the Will Stone where Chu Mu had left his sword move. Everyone immediately understood that Tower Master Su saw that Lin Mo couldn't break his sword move and was curious, so she wanted to try it herself. In fact, many people had the same idea, but they didn't have the confidence. After all, Lin Mo was a four star Sword Of Gojoseon, and his sword art realm had improved recently. If even he couldn't break it, then they might not have the confidence.
Tower Master Su was the Earth Sword Tower's Tower Master. Her sword art realm had reached the limit of mortal realm, much higher than Lin Mo's. Perhaps, she could break it.
Everyone's attention was focused on Tower Master Su. Soon, fifteen minutes passed, and Tower Master Su's hand was bounced off.
Break failed!
"One hundred Sword City Points." Tower Master Su said again. Her hand once again pressed on the Will Stone, trying to break it for the second time.
Three times, three times in a row. Tower Master Su also paid three hundred Sword City Points, but still couldn't break Chu Mu's sword move. This time, everyone looked at Chu Mu in a completely different light.
To be able to become the Earth Sword Tower's Tower Master, one's sword art realm must be very high. Even she couldn't break it. Among everyone present, perhaps only Sky Sword Tower's Tower Master Cao Jianzheng could break it.
Cao Jianzheng didn't have the intention to break it. He was the Tower Master of Sky Sword Tower, and Chu Mu was just a newly promoted Sword Of Gojoseon. If he couldn't break it, not only would he set off Chu Mu, but he would also lose face. He wasn't willing to take such a risk. From this point, it could be seen that Cao Jianzheng was someone who cherished his reputation. He wasn't as pure as Tower Master Su.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Mu had gained eight hundred sword city points. He was extremely happy.
Lin Mo was standing on the side, of course, of Gojoseon's of Gojoseon, but he didn't say a word.
After breaking five moves in a row, Chu Mu obtained 500 Sword City Points, which was a total of 1,300 Sword City Points. Not only did he make up for what he had spent, but he also gave the 500 Sword City Points back to Shang Zhizhen.
At this moment, the way everyone looked at Chu Mu changed once again. This new Sword Of Gojoseon had risen to a new level in their hearts. Was this really the Ichino Sword Of Gojoseon?
No one could see any changes to the Stone of Will. They only felt that it had become more profound.
Very quickly, Chu Mu's Sword City Points reached 1500 points.
"Chu Mu, do you dare to make another bet?" Lin Mo suddenly opened his mouth and stared coldly at Chu Mu.
"Speak," Chu Mu replied directly.
"I'll create a sword move and you'll have to break it. The bet is 1,000 Sword City Points." Lin Mo said.
"Okay." Chu Mu didn't hesitate at all. Speaking of which, Lin Mo actually had an advantage. After all, nearly two hours had passed. In this period of time, Lin Mo had definitely been thinking about how to create a sword move. If he said it now, he would have another fifteen minutes to create it. Adding it all together, it would be over two hours. The advantage wasn't small.
There was nothing they could do about it. However, according to the past, they were just playing around. It wasn't a big deal, so they didn't object. Besides, Chu Mu, the person involved, didn't say anything.
After 15 minutes, Lin Mo smiled confidently and transmitted his self-created sword move into the Stone of Will.
"Please." After more than two hours of preparation, Lin Mo was full of confidence. "Remember, the bet is 1,000 Sword City Points."
Chu Mu nodded his head and appeared next to the summoning stone, instantly attracting everyone's attention. His palm pressed against the summoning stone, and his consciousness instantly entered it. Condensing into a human figure, he saw Lin Mo's figure charging over with a sword.
This sword move was like an ice river descending.
Rumbling sounds shook the heavens and the earth, and an astonishing chill spread out in all directions. Of course, this chill wasn't real chill, but a feeling brought about by the sword move that belonged to the consciousness.
Chu Mu didn't move an inch. His eyes flickered with a bit of light. Soon after, just as Lin Mo's sword was about to descend, he pulled out his sword and a bit of cold light appeared. Suddenly, Lin Mo's sword stopped and the shocking cold aura dissipated in an instant. It was as if an ice age had descended and shattered.
This meant that Lin Mo's sword move had been broken by Chu Mu.
Chu Mu raised his palm naturally. Everyone knew that he had broken Lin Mo's sword move. The whole process didn't even take 60 breaths. This was actually the result of Chu Mu holding back.
With his Heaven Realm sword technique, he could break Lin Mo's self-created sword move in three breaths.
After breaking Lin Mo's sword move, Chu Mu looked at Lin Mo and said unhurriedly, "1,000 Sword City Points."
"Impossible!" Lin Mo screamed. He couldn't believe it. He couldn't accept this result.
"Are you planning to break the contract?" Chu Mu asked. Everyone's expression was somewhat unfriendly.
1,000 Sword City Points wasn't a small amount. However, since he had already said it, and he even took the initiative to say it, if he broke the contract, he would be looked down upon by everyone.
"Here you go." Lin Mo almost gritted his teeth as he transferred the 1,000 Sword City Points to Chu Mu. His face was dark. Anger attacked his heart. He was unwilling. He was extremely unwilling. "Chu Mu, do you dare to play big with me?"
"Speak." After receiving another 1,000 Sword City Points, Chu Mu didn't care about Lin Mo's murderous gaze.
"Lin Mo, enough is enough." Cao Jianzheng hurriedly said. He could see that Lin Mo had already lost his mind.
"Brother Cao, don't stop me. I don't believe that I, Lin Mo, am inferior to an Ichino Sword Of Gojoseon." Lin Mo said fiercely, "Chu Mu, do you dare to play? 5,000 Sword City Points."
Now, Chu Mu already had 2,500 Sword City Points.
"How do you want to play?" Chu Mu asked. In terms of aura, he didn't lose out at all.
"Let's change the way we play. Creating and breaking moves can't show one's strength. For us sword cultivators, in the end, everything is for the sake of strength." Lin Mo said coldly, "Without strength, everything else is just empty talk. So, let's compete and see who can pass the most stages in the Endless Path of Swords."
"Lin Mo, you're really shameless." Shang Zhizhen said angrily, "What's your cultivation? What's Sword Skill Realm? What's Brother Chu's Sword Skill Realm? Do you think everyone is blind?"
Everyone could see that Chu Mu's cultivation was at the First Heavenly Layer of the Eternal Ancient Realm, while Shang Zhizhen was an Ichino Sword Of Gojoseon. As for Lin Mo, he was a Four Star Sword Of Gojoseon and an Eighth Heavenly Layer of the Eternal Ancient Realm. The gap between them was huge. In the eyes of the crowd, Lin Mo could defeat Chu Mu in a real battle.
With such a huge gap in strength, there was no doubt that Lin Mo would win if they challenged the Endless Path of Swords. Understanding this, the crowd's gaze towards Lin Mo changed.
They could tolerate a challenge, but not a challenge with such a huge gap in strength.
In his anger, Lin Mo didn't think too much about it. Realizing that he had made a mistake, he quickly tried to salvage the situation, "I haven't finished speaking. First, I'll bet five thousand Sword City Points against his two thousand five hundred Sword City Points. Second, I'll give you five stages in the Endless Path of Swords."
Hearing this, the crowd's expression eased a little, and they all looked towards Chu Mu.
"Brother Chu, there's no need for that." Shang Zhizhen said. Although Chu Mu had to give Lin Mo five stages, he didn't have much of an advantage. However, Lin Mo had bet five thousand Sword City Points, while Chu Mu had bet two thousand five hundred Sword City Points.
Chu Mu nodded at Shang Zhizhen, then looked at Lin Mo, "Since you want to give me Sword City Points, I'm happy to accept."
"Alright, I'll give you ten days to prepare. Ten days later, we'll meet at the Endless Path of Swords." Lin Mo said. Soon after, he turned around and left because he could not continue to stay here. Otherwise, he did not know if his reason would be overwhelmed by his anger and he would do something unwise.
After Lin Mo left, Chu Mu also didn't plan to stay any longer. He could see that the atmosphere here was ruined, so he left with Shang Zhizhen and the others.
After they left, the crowd didn't have the mood to stay any longer. After all, after the matter between Chu Mu and Lin Mo, they were more or less distracted. Most of their attention was on Chu Mu.
This new Ichino Sword Of Gojoseon had shocked them.
…
"I think it's obvious that he needs ten days to prepare, but he's still making it sound so nice," said Ge Le disdainfully.
"It doesn't matter. Ten days, I can use it to practice the sword art I got from the Sword Canon Pavilion," said Chu Mu casually. This was the truth.
"Brother Chu, the difference in cultivation between you and Lin Mo is too great. The difference in strength is also too great. Even if he gives you five stages, you won't have any advantage," said Shang Zhizhen.
"Tower Master, I must get the five thousand sword city points," said Lin Mo. His voice was filled with unshakable confidence. Let alone Lin Mo giving him five stages, even if he didn't, Chu Mu was still confident he could win. Of course, if Lin Mo wanted to give him five stages, he wouldn't need to reveal so much of his strength.
The three of them could hear the absolute confidence in Chu Mu's voice, but they didn't understand where this confidence came from. Since that was the case, they didn't say anything. After all, they had only known Chu Mu for a short while. They hadn't reached the point where they could confide in each other.
Not long after, everyone returned to the Human Sword Pagoda.
The top floor was where the Tower Master lived and cultivated. Below him were where the three Tower Venerables lived and cultivated. In these ten days, Chu Mu began to practice the Heaven's Horn Sword Art.
