"One thousand … is too little …" Chu Mu paused for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.
"Oh, too little? Junior Brother, it's not good to be too greedy. " Meng Chao smiled and said, "How about this, as long as you can withstand ten strikes, I'll give you two thousand credits. That should be enough, right? You should know that even if you become an inner palace student, you can only get one thousand credits per month under normal circumstances. "
"I also have a suggestion," Chu Mu suddenly said.
"Junior Brother, what's your suggestion?" Meng Chao pretended to be surprised, completely different from his previous cold demeanor.
"If we're going to play, let's play big." Chu Mu smiled. "I have twenty thousand credits as a bet. If you win, the twenty thousand credits are yours. If you lose, you have to give me twenty thousand credits. Do you dare?"
"Twenty thousand credits?" The people below were stunned.
"How can a new student have twenty thousand credits?"
"There's one possibility, and that is that he got his credits from the three natural barriers. That is to say, when Chu Mu just entered the outer palace, he was at least in the top ten … no … he should be in the top four."
"So what if he got first place in the three natural barriers? That's the result of the outer palace. It's different from the inner palace. At best, it can be said that this person has a lot of room for improvement, surpassing ordinary people. But now, he hasn't even cultivated a mystic level sword aura. How can his overall strength compare to Meng Chao, who is already at the initial success of the Qi Transformation Realm?"
"That's true. Geniuses also need time to grow."
Liang Haishan was even more surprised. He didn't expect that a random guide would turn out to be a genius.
"Meng Chao, accept his bet. If you don't have enough credits, I still have some." The two people who were chatting with Meng Chao before started to jeer.
'I have fifteen thousand credits. If I get twenty thousand more, I'll have thirty-five thousand credits. The mystic level sword aura that I want needs forty thousand credits,' Meng Chao thought to himself. When he heard the people below, he clenched his teeth and made a decision. He said firmly, "Fine, I'll bet. I'll take the twenty thousand credits."
"Let the battle begin." The Hundred Affairs Hall's deacon saw that both sides had reached an agreement and immediately announced.
A fiery red Sword Qi condensed and released an astonishing scorching heat as it shot towards Chu Mu.
Chu Mu moved, and ten afterimages appeared in a flash to avoid Meng Chao's innate sword qi. He even appeared beside Meng Chao and drew his sword to attack.
"He actually cultivated the Phantom Steps to perfection …" The spectators were immediately astonished.
Chu Mu killed Meng Chao with a single slash, but Meng Chao's figure gradually faded away. His real body appeared behind Chu Mu, and with a single slash of his sword, more than a dozen streams of fire streaked past.
Liu Huo directly pierced through Chu Mu. So it was just an afterimage.
Meng Chao's footwork was also at a high level, and he had also perfected it. He did not lose to Chu Mu. When the two of them used their footwork to fight, they moved so quickly that it dazzled the onlookers.
The sword Meng Chao used was a low-grade sword, and each slash contained powerful waves of fire. It made the air around him even hotter, and it affected his thirst.
But to Chu Mu, who had achieved a small mastery of sword force, it made no difference.
When the two swords collided, Meng Chao's strength was stronger than Chu Mu's, but he could not suppress him. The power that burst out from his sword was often scattered by Chu Mu in a strange way.
After more than ten slashes, he still could not defeat Chu Mu. He did not even have the slightest sign of defeating Chu Mu. Meng Chao frowned.
"It's your honor to have me use a super class sword art against you." Meng Chao let out a low roar and changed his sword technique. It was as if flames had sprung up around his body and became fierce and violent. He thrust his sword forward with the momentum of a raging fire, wanting to burn Chu Mu to ashes.
"It's the Fiery Sword Art. Looks like Meng Chao has already mastered it," the onlookers whispered.
"A super class sword art is very powerful. A new student can't possibly master it. This Chu Mu is bound to lose."
"How pitiful. 20,000 credits."
"He's too impulsive." Liang Haishan shook his head.
Chu Mu was like a person who lived in fire for eternity. The high temperature could not affect him at all, but the power of a super class sword art was still very terrifying.
At first, it was difficult for him to dodge Meng Chao's Fiery Sword Art. He had integrated 40% of the essence of clouds and combined Phantom Steps and Wind Walk to the extreme.
Although the essence of clouds could not increase the speed of footwork and body movement, it could make it more unpredictable. Chu Mu's eyes were unusually bright as he stared at Meng Chao's swordsmanship.
Although he had the super class sword art, Wind Form, he did not have a super class sword art. Chu Mu also wanted to know how powerful a super class sword art was and how much stronger it was compared to an advanced sword art.
Unfortunately, Meng Chao's Fiery Sword Art was only at a small mastery level. He had not mastered the killer move, so he performed more than a dozen basic moves. After the first time, Chu Mu knew how to deal with it.
"How is this possible?" They were all shocked that this new student could withstand a super class sword art and not be defeated.
"I don't believe that I can't defeat you." Meng Chao was determined. He integrated more than 30% of the essence of fire into his Fiery Sword Art. In an instant, the fire surged as if adding oil to the fire. Its power increased by a lot. Even the basic moves were not inferior to an ordinary advanced sword art killer move.
Thinking about it, the power of each move was comparable to an advanced sword art killer move. It was like continuously performing advanced sword art killer moves. It was very terrifying.
"Meng Chao is going all out."
"The power has increased a lot, but the realm of his swordsmanship is too low. I've already seen through it," Chu Mu thought to himself.
After breaking through to the Qi Transformation Realm, his soul power had increased a lot. Although he still could not release his soul power, his five senses had multiplied. It was easier for him to see through the weaknesses of his opponent's swordsmanship.
Chu Mu was only dodging now. He did not counterattack because he was looking for a chance to kill with one strike.
Chu Mu's entire body seemed to be engulfed in flames. In everyone's eyes, there were only streaks of flames shooting out from Meng Chao's hands. Even the sword couldn't be seen. It was as if Meng Chao wasn't holding a sword, but flames.
"What a fierce attack. Even I would have a hard time facing it," Liang Haishan said with a serious face.
"I don't know why this challenge is arranged. The difference is too big." The deacon of the Hall of Hundred Affairs thought. He subconsciously thought that Chu Mu would lose. Even a swordsman in the initial stage of the Qi Transformation Realm would have a hard time facing such an attack, let alone a new student.
"Now!" Chu Mu's eyes flashed. He used the Cloud Shattering Sword Explosion with 40% of the essence of clouds to reopen the fire. He stabbed out again like a gust of wind, and a clear sound was heard.
In an instant, the burning fire in the sky disappeared like an illusion. Chu Mu's sword stopped steadily at Meng Chao's throat.
"What … What's going on?" Everyone was stunned.
Meng Chao also could not believe the result. He did not even know what was going on. He only felt that his opponent had made a move. Soon, there was a fluctuation of essence in the air, and his sword was knocked away.
"Chu Mu wins the challenge." The deacon of the Hall of Hundred Affairs came back to his senses after a while and announced loudly. (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.)
