Six Paths sighed. It's not easy to keep your hands cold on such a cold day. Give me some monthly tickets to warm yourself up.
Meng Chao was not satisfied with his loss. He felt that he had lost not because of his strength, but because of his luck.
But no matter what, a loss was a loss, especially under the supervision of the Hundred Affair Hall. He had lost, and there was no way he could go back on his word. If he did not admit it, his reputation would be ruined.
"Damn it. If I had another chance, he would never have beaten me." Meng Chao clenched his fists and said fiercely.
"Meng Chao, let's make it clear. Those five thousand credits are just a loan. You have to pay me back as soon as possible." A young swordsman next to him said.
"Don't worry. I won't shortchange you." Meng Chao looked at him coldly and said coldly. He snorted and strode away.
"Look at that attitude." The young swordsman was angry. "If I hadn't lent him those five thousand credits out of kindness, I'd like to see what would have happened to him. It's okay if he didn't thank me, but he treated me with that attitude. He's so despicable."
"Forget it. Let's go. It's not like you don't know this kind of person." Another person said, "What I care more about is that new student called Chu Mu. I didn't see how he defeated Meng Chao."
"I didn't see it clearly either."
…
"Congratulations. It was so unexpected." Liang Haishan laughed. He looked very happy, as if he was the one who had defeated Meng Chao.
Chu Mu smiled and nodded. He had expected to defeat Meng Chao, but he did not expect it to be so fast.
In fact, with Meng Chao's strength, if he had taken Chu Mu seriously, it would not have been so easy for Chu Mu to defeat him. It could only be said that he had underestimated Chu Mu from the beginning. When he did not defeat Chu Mu in the last ten moves, he felt a little unbalanced. He did not adjust quickly and used almost all his strength.
From the very beginning, when Meng Chao wanted to attack Chu Mu with his imposing manner, Chu Mu's suggestion of a bet was a great counterattack, and before he knew it, Meng Chao was already at a disadvantage.
On the other hand, the breakthrough in the Qi Transformation Realm had not only brought Chu Mu a breakthrough in his sword aura, but also in other aspects. As a result, Chu Mu's advantage had been magnified, and it was only natural that he had defeated Meng Chao.
"By the way, how did you defeat Meng Chao in the end?" Liang Haishan asked curiously.
"Attack the weak point," Chu Mu said simply.
"Weakness?" Liang Haishan pondered.
Everyone knew that attacking the opponent's weak points would defeat them, but the problem was how to find the weak points. This was not a simple matter. It required extremely strong eyesight. This eyesight could be innate, or it could be acquired through hard work.
Chu Mu's eyesight originated from his Vision Sword. Because he had broken through to the Qi Transformation Realm, his Vision Sword had also improved. It was only a paper's breadth away from perfection.
Finding the weak point was only the first step. Although there were not many swordsmen who could find the opponent's weak point, it was not too rare. The key was whether or not one could hit the weak point after finding it.
Only by hitting the weak point could there be an effect. Otherwise, even if the opponent had all the weak points waiting for you, if you could not hit them, you would only feel stifled.
"You have twenty thousand credits. Adding the twenty thousand credits you won from Meng Chao, you have a total of forty thousand credits. You can go to the Scripture Tower and choose a mystic class mid-grade sword aura art to cultivate," Liang Haishan suggested after he recovered from his shock.
"Middle-grade mystic class." Chu Mu repeated. He really did not want a mystic class mid-grade one. He felt that the level was too low. He should at least choose a mystic class high-grade one.
"The sword aura arts in the Scripture Tower, a mystic class low-grade one costs twenty thousand credits, a middle-grade one costs forty thousand, and a high-grade one costs eighty thousand. Some high-grade sword aura arts even cost ninety to one hundred thousand. As for the best ones, they cost at least one hundred and sixty thousand." Liang Haishan explained, "Such a high number of credits often makes people flinch. For example, you have forty thousand credits as soon as you enter the Inner Academy. That's already a very high starting point."
"At least 80,000 academic credits … …" Chu Mu nodded his head and thought about how to get the remaining 40,000 academic credits. At least 40,000 academic credits.
"Oh right, you live in the 7823rd tower, right? I live in the 6200th tower. I hope we can exchange pointers in the future," Liang Haishan said.
"Okay." Chu Mu nodded and parted ways with Liang Haishan. He went to Astral-9's Hall of Hundred Affairs to collect what was rightfully his.
… …
"Because you defeated Meng Chao and passed the challenge, you will receive an additional low-grade sword as a reward," the Hall of Hundred Affairs administrator said seriously. "What element do you need?"
"Wind element," Chu Mu said.
He was the first to comprehend the concept of wind. His first super sword technique was also of the wind element, and his first concept was the concept of wind.
"Wind element …" The administrator nodded and got up to walk inside.
Chu Mu pulled out the fake Clear Wind Sword and looked at it. There was a conspicuous gap on the blade. It had been caused by the collision with Meng Chao's sword.
This wasn't because Chu Mu's strength was inferior to Meng Chao's, but because a fake sword was still a fake sword. It couldn't compare to a real sword.
After a while, the administrator walked out with a sheathed sword in his hand.
The sheath was light green and had strange patterns on it. The administrator handed the sword to Chu Mu and said, "This is the low-grade Clear Wind Sword. It's yours from now on."
"Clear Wind Sword …" Chu Mu was slightly stunned. He took the sword, and a trace of absent-mindedness flashed through his eyes.
He remembered that when he had obtained the fake Clear Wind Sword, the head of the Qingfeng Sword Sect, Luo Tianxiong, had said that the fake Clear Wind Sword was an imitation of the low-grade Clear Wind Sword.
He didn't think that he would be able to obtain the Clear Wind Sword now. This could be considered a kind of fate.
His left hand held the sword hilt. There was a familiar yet strange feeling. It was familiar because the fake Clear Wind Sword was an imitation of the Clear Wind Sword, so it was basically the same. It was strange because it was the real Clear Wind Sword and not the fake Clear Wind Sword.
There were three sharp words on the sheath: Clear Wind Sword.
Chu Mu's right hand held the sword hilt and used a bit of strength. Immediately, a clear sound rang out, filled with sharpness. It was as if a breeze had blown past his ears.
He slowly pulled the sword out. Along with the ear-piercing sound of metal rubbing against metal, Chu Mu's eyes were suddenly illuminated by the Sword Light. His pupils shrank as he stared at the sword.
The Clear Wind Sword's body was also a light cyan color, but it was even purer than the fake Clear Wind Sword's light cyan color. It gave people the feeling that a wisp of wind was attached to it. Chu Mu lightly waved the Clear Wind Sword, and the light cyan color suddenly began to flow. Faintly, there seemed to be a clear sound of wind passing through one's ears.
"The Clear Wind Sword can increase the power of Wind Sword Arts by ten percent." The Hundred Affair Hall's attendant said.
"Ten percent. If the complete version of Wind Sword can increase its power by ten percent, then it will be even more terrifying." Chu Mu thought to himself. He put down the sheath and used his left hand's index finger and middle finger like a sword. He slowly stroked the Clear Wind Sword's body. Feeling the cold touch on his fingertips, he couldn't bear to put it down.
"But there is a limit to this increase." The Hundred Affair Hall's attendant said, "Because of the limitations of the materials, a low grade sword can only increase the power of a super level sword art or skill by ten percent. At most, it can increase it by fifteen percent. For those below super level, it can increase it by twenty or even thirty percent."
Chu Mu nodded. He wasn't surprised. After all, it was only a low grade sword. If the increase was too much, then it would be heaven-defying.
Sometimes, a ten percent increase could be the key to turning the situation around.
"Now I finally have my first sword. Although it is only a low grade sword, I believe that I can get a high grade sword, or even a high grade sword." Chu Mu thought to himself, "But before that, I need to obtain another low rank sword. Only then will the Dual Sword Technique have a place to be used."
After reaching the initial level of the Dual Sword Arts, it could increase Chu Mu's power by thirty percent.
Collecting his thoughts, Chu Mu put the sword back into its sheath and hung the fake Clear Wind Sword on his waist. His left hand held the real Clear Wind Sword.
No matter what, the fake Clear Wind Sword had been with him for a long time. It had killed and defeated many enemies. Although it couldn't keep up with Chu Mu's footsteps, Chu Mu wouldn't just abandon it.
"Goodbye." Chu Mu said to the Hundred Affair Hall's attendant and turned to leave.
At the same time, a person walked in with a majestic gait and blocked Chu Mu's path.
This person was tall and strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. His masculine face naturally had a domineering aura. His tiger-like eyes stared at Chu Mu for three breaths of time before he grinned. "Let me introduce myself. I am Huangfu Cang, a student of Astral-1 and a member of the Heavenly King Palace. First of all, congratulations on defeating Meng Chao and passing the Heavenly King Palace's test. Now, follow me to Astral-1 and change your identity sword token. You will be a member of the Heavenly King Palace from now on. "
Chu Mu frowned. So his challenge with Meng Chao had been arranged by the Heavenly King Palace. If it hadn't been for the Heavenly King Palace's interference, he probably wouldn't have met Meng Chao's average opponent. At most, he would have met someone who was also at the beginning of the Qi Transformation Realm.
He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. The Heavenly King Palace's influence was so great that they could influence the decisions of the Hundred Affair Hall.
"I'm sorry, but I don't want to join any organization." Chu Mu said indifferently. The Heavenly Emperor Palace was indeed unexpectedly powerful, but Chu Mu had never thought of joining the Heavenly Emperor Palace's Sword Pavilion.
"You don't want to join?" The person from the Heavenly King Palace was stunned. He had thought that Lu Yin would be overjoyed when he heard that he would become a member of the Heavenly King Palace, but it was the opposite. Lu Yin had calmly rejected the offer. The person's face darkened. "You have to think this through. You only have one chance. If you miss it, then you miss it. There won't be a second chance. You should know that with your talent, you will definitely be valued by the Vice Palace Master and will be heavily nurtured. When the time comes, all kinds of cultivation resources will be at your fingertips, and your strength will increase rapidly. If you refuse, then you will have to spend a lot of time on your own to accumulate bit by bit. For us swordsmen, time is life. "
"Thank you for your kindness, but if I want to join any organization, I will choose the Heavenly King Palace first." Chu Mu said calmly. Although the person's tone wasn't very good, he wasn't aggressive and didn't make Chu Mu feel disgusted.
"Alright, since you don't want to join, I won't force you. However, the news of you rejecting the Heavenly King Palace's invitation will spread very quickly. When the time comes, some people from the Heavenly King Palace might come looking for trouble with you. You'd better watch out." After the person finished speaking, he left decisively.
"I'm afraid you will be in trouble in the future." The Hundred Affair Hall's deacon smiled bitterly.
Chu Mu smiled and left the Hundred Affair Hall. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.
