The higher one's cultivation was, the harder it would be to improve. Each improvement would take a longer time.
Previously, Chu Mu went into seclusion to cultivate after a few months of intense battles in the Massacre Battlefield. His cultivation increased from the First Refining to the Second Refining of the Exceptional Realm. Now, he had been cultivating in seclusion for half a year. Other than cultivating the Sword Seeking Art, he had also focused on improving his cultivation. However, the effect was not as obvious as before.
From the Middle Refining of the Exceptional Realm to the Advanced Refining of the Exceptional Realm, his Sword Principle Origin had only been refined by 20%.
Compared to the past, this kind of improvement speed was very slow. However, compared to the normal situation of the cultivation of the Exceptional Realm, this kind of improvement speed was quite fast, the kind that could be ranked among the top. After all, it had only been half a year, and he had been improving his cultivation for more than half a year.
After half a year of seclusion, Chu Mu came out. Whether it was the cultivation of the Sword Seeking Art or the improvement of his cultivation, he had reached a bottleneck. If he wanted to improve, it would take at least a few years.
Chu Mu came out of seclusion and left the seclusion room. He appeared in the Human Palace and applied to a Secret Guardian of Massacre to challenge the tenth place on the Massacre Ranking.
Since Chu Mu had entered from the Slaughtering Royal Palace, as long as he was able to get into the top ten of the Slaughtering Green Ranking, other than obtaining the mission reward, he could also obtain a chance to leave the Slaughtering World anytime and anywhere and enter the Slaughtering World from the outside world as well as a Slaughtering Space Order.
As for only challenging the tenth place, it was because Chu Mu was completely unsure of the strength of the top ten people on the Killing Green Leaderboard. There was only one chance to challenge this mission, and once he failed, his cultivation would permanently drop. The punishment was extremely severe, and Chu Mu had no choice but to take it seriously.
The tenth place was the last of the top ten. Normally, he would be the weakest.
Chu Mu didn't leave Human Palace, and Ye Jingshen didn't know either. He continued to wait. In half a year, Ye Jingshen naturally couldn't just wait and not do anything else. He was also cultivating, trying to use every minute and second to raise his cultivation, raise his sword dao, and increase his strength in all aspects.
Geniuses belonged to the level of talent. However, if they didn't work hard, it would be difficult for them to achieve anything. In the end, they would fade into the crowd and become a pitiful example.
The title of an expert was never given by oneself, nor was it something that could be obtained casually. One had to put in a lot of sweat, blood, sweat, time, and energy to become an expert. Only then would one be able to stand above many people and be looked up to. In the end, one would leave behind an everlasting legend.
…
In the depths of the battlefield, a cold light first arrived, and then a spear shot out like a dragon.
A powerful Slaughtering Behemoth that had reached Rank 8 Intermediate Slaughtering Behemoth did not have the slightest ability to resist and was instantly killed by the spear.
The Slaughtering Gigantic Beast was dead and the spear light disappeared. A silhouette appeared. It was an imposing young man. That spear attack was just a casual attack from him, but it had killed a rank eight Slaughtering Gigantic Beast. It was obvious that the young man was terrifyingly strong. He had surpassed the level of a Supreme Holy Master, he was a half-step Great Sovereign.
After collecting the Slaughter Secret Runes from the Slaughter Behemoth's corpse, the young man suddenly paused, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Someone wants to challenge me? Is it one of them?"
The so-called 'one of them' referred to those who were ranked below him.
That person was called Si Kong Yu, a genius from a high-tier world. He did not leave his name on the Sword Cliff. According to many people's guesses, if he wanted to leave his name on the Sword Cliff, he would at least be ranked in the top five. Of course, that was before.
In Human City, not everyone would leave their name on the Sword Cliff. There were two kinds of people who did not leave their name. One was those who wanted to leave their name but were not qualified, and the other was those who were qualified but did not want to leave their name.
Si Kong Yu belonged to the latter.
If it was not for the mission, Chu Mu would not have left his name on the Sword Cliff.
As for those who did not want to leave their name, although they had absolute confidence in themselves, it was difficult for them to compare themselves with those who had left their name on the Sword Cliff. They often felt that if they were willing to leave their name on the Sword Cliff, they might be ranked first.
Sikong Yu agreed to the challenge. Then, he disappeared.
No matter where they were, as long as they were called for a challenge and agreed, they would be directly transmitted to the Challenge Space.
The Challenge Space was originally chaotic. Immediately, lightning struck down and the world seemed to be split open. The wind and clouds changed and the Challenge Space began to change.
High mountains, flowing rivers, long rivers, snowy grasslands, the scenery rotated and finally settled on a lake. The lake water was green and boundless as far as the eye could see. It was like a huge gemstone embedded in the earth.
Two figures appeared in the air above the dark green lake at almost the same time. Their feet were only three inches away from the lake.
These two people were Chu Mu and Si Kong Yu.
At first sight of Chu Mu, Si Kong Yu was startled because he did not know him, nor was he one of the people he had mentioned.
"You want to challenge me? What's your name?" Si Kong Yu asked casually with a spear in his hand and a shocking sharp aura surrounding him. He could see that the other person's cultivation was only at the middle of the Third Refinement of the Exceptional Realm, while his own cultivation had reached the Fifth Refinement of the Exceptional Realm.
"Chu Wangting," Chu Mu said.
"Chu Wangting! First in leaving your name on the Sword Cliff. " Although Si Kong Yu did not leave his name on the Sword Cliff and did not pay much attention to it, he knew the name Chu Wangting.
It was because Chu Wangting was the first person in a thousand years to break Chu Huangji's record and surpass ten feet.
Even if Si Kong Yu was very confident, he had to admit that Chu Wangting's potential was very shocking. Perhaps even he could not compare to him.
However, leaving one's name on the Sword Cliff mainly showed one's potential. Potential was potential, it was potential power that had not been developed and transformed into real power. Potential and strength were two different things.
"Challenging me is not a wise choice," Si Kong Yu said unhurriedly. Sikong Yu said unhurriedly. There was an indescribable confidence in his tone. He had absolute confidence in his own strength. This confidence was based on his powerful talent and strength. It was based on the fact that he had defeated powerful enemies time and time again.
"Not necessarily," Chu Mu said indifferently. He did not show any weakness in his words.
"Then you'll have to ask the spear in my hand." Si Kong Yu suddenly laughed. His right arm shook, and the long spear shot out like a dragon. It was like a dragon slithering on the surface of a lake, and instantly shot towards Chu Mu.
It was fast, accurate, and ruthless. It did not seem powerful, but in fact, it was condensed power into a single point to break through space. This spear alone displayed Si Kong Yu's amazing spear technique.
Si Kong Yu was not the kind of person who would show mercy or humility just because his opponent's cultivation was weaker than his. For him, as long as it was a battle, no matter who his opponent was, he would seize the opportunity to strike first and directly defeat his opponent. This was the experience he had gained through many life and death battles.
As Si Kong Yu thrust out his spear, Chu Mu felt that he had been locked in place, and there was nowhere to run.
The Li Perishing Sword slashed from bottom to top, and the Sword Light broke through the air. Then, he took another step forward, using the second level of the Four Directions Truth Step: Space.
In an instant, the Sword Light and the Spear Light collided. The Spear Light was so powerful that it actually shattered the Sword Light directly. However, Chu Mu was nowhere to be seen.
Si Kong Yu did not panic at all. He shook his spear, and it suddenly surrounded his whole body. Layers of light and shadows appeared, and the Spear Light was like a dense starry sky, protecting his body.
However, a Sword Light was seen coming at an amazing speed, as if it had come from the sky. It instantly pierced through the gap between the Spear Light and stabbed towards Si Kong Yu. Si Kong Yu was startled, as this was a bit out of his expectations. Immediately, a feeling of excitement emerged from the bottom of his heart. This kind of battle was more interesting.
The rotating spear moved slightly, and easily blocked Chu Mu's sword. At the same time, his arm shook slightly, and the spear suddenly bounced. A piercing sound that made one's scalp tingle rang out, and the front half of the spear suddenly swept out. The terrifying power of the spear seemed to be able to break a mountain.
The spear was long and the sword was short. Each had its own advantages.
Facing Si Kong Yu's sweep, an ordinary person's reaction would be to retreat. However, Chu Mu's reaction was to take a step forward, so that the power of the sweep could not be fully displayed. Then, he suddenly pushed out the Li Perishing Sword, and took advantage of the momentum to cut.
Si Kong Yu's reaction was extremely fast. His arms moved, and the spear followed the rotation. The short blade at the end of the spear slashed towards Chu Mu's throat.
It was extremely dangerous to fight speed with speed in close combat. The slightest carelessness could cause one to be injured or even killed by the opponent.
However, such a battle made both Chu Mu and Si Kong Yu extremely excited.
With the cultivation of the Third Refining of the Exceptional Realm, coupled with his superb sword technique and Heaven Realm sword technique realm, Chu Mu had the ability to fight against Si Kong Yu in close combat. This was also under the condition that Si Kong Yu did not use his full strength.
In fact, the current battle between the two could only be considered at the level of an Extreme Sacred Master.
They did not use any powerful spear technique or sword moves. They were completely using the variations of the Basic Spear Technique and Basic Sword Technique to fight against the opponent. This was a completely probing attack and battle.
Sikong Yu's fighting experience was incomparably plentiful, and his fighting awareness was exceptional. Facing Chu Mu, he wasn't at a disadvantage at all. Of course, from Sikong Yu's point of view, the fact that Chu Wangting was able to fight against him to this extent made him feel extremely shocked.
The more they fought, the more Si Kong Yu found it interesting. He increased his strength slightly, but found that his opponent seemed to have become stronger.
Some people were born with the ability to become stronger when facing strong opponents. Without a doubt, Chu Wangting was such a person.
Being the first to leave his name on the Sword Cliff had already interested him. Now, the battle experience, skills, and battle awareness in the battle amazed him even more.
Chu Mu was also very surprised. If the tenth on the Massacre Roll was like this, then what about the top nine?
He could not help but feel his blood boiling.
