"Who's Chu Mu?" The Blood Hand Emperor glanced at the five Great Emperors and asked. His voice was filled with disdain, causing the five Great Emperors to shiver uncontrollably, as if a cold intent was spreading throughout their bodies.
"He's on the fifth floor." The white-robed Great Emperor replied. They seemed to have thought of something, and revealed a complicated expression.
"Who's Chu Mu?" The Blood Hand Emperor's voice resounded from the fifth floor. Unlike before, it wasn't as cold as before.
"I am." Chu Mu quickly responded.
"Please come to the seventh floor." The Blood Hand Emperor spoke again, but the coldness in his voice had weakened.
Chu Mu returned to the seventh floor. The first thing he saw was a blood-red figure. Because it was too eye-catching, it had become the center of attention.
Chu Mu first performed a sword salute to the original five great emperors. Then, he performed a sword salute to the blood-red figure because he could feel that this person's cultivation was far superior to his own. It was also superior to a half step great emperor. This was a true great emperor realm expert. Moreover, it gave Chu Mu a feeling that this person's strength was definitely stronger than the other five great emperors present. In fact, even if the five great emperors teamed up, they might not be a match for this blood-red figure.
"Greetings, senior. May I know why you're looking for me?" Chu Mu asked in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
Suddenly, the Blood Hand Emperor turned around and looked at Chu Mu. His dark red pupils fell on Chu Mu's face. In an instant, Chu Mu felt as if time and space were spinning. The world around him disappeared, and was replaced by a blood-red river. That river crossed the void, rushing from one end to the other.
The river of blood was composed of fresh blood. It emitted an overflowing stench of blood. As the river of blood rushed over, Chu Mu felt like he was about to be drowned. A bone-chilling feeling emerged from the depths of his soul, causing his hair to stand on end.
Suddenly, a sword cry resounded. Sword Light descended from the void, forcefully cutting the river apart. The scene in front of him changed again. He was still on the seventh floor of the human tower, facing the same blood-red figure. Everything before was like an illusion.
However, Chu Mu knew that it wasn't an illusion. The opponent's powerful mind had caused him to sink into an illusion. It was the illusion of the opponent's Grand Dao.
The Blood Hand Emperor didn't do it on purpose. He only needed a glance to trigger an illusion. This meant that the opponent's potential was shocking. Moreover, the opponent was able to break out from the illusion so quickly. This surprised the Blood Hand Emperor's eyes flashed with joy...
"My name is Chu Xue." The Blood Hand Emperor said. The first sentence he said was his name.
"Chu Xue …" Chu Mu was startled. He didn't know what was going on. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. Shock appeared on his face. "Senior, you're from the Chu Sect?"
"If your surname is Chu, perhaps you'll call me senior brother in the future." Blood Hand Emperor Chu Xue smiled and said.
The five great emperors revealed an 'as expected' expression. Seeing the smile on Chu Xue's face, they couldn't help but feel their hair stand on end. This was because they had all heard that the Blood Hand Emperor Chu Xue usually had a cold expression. At most, he would smile. Moreover, there were only two situations where he would smile.
The first was when he was facing the Chu Sect disciples.
The second was when he was killing people.
"Is your surname Chu? Can you verify it?" Chu Mu was curious.
"Of course." Chu Xue's tone was very certain. "You know the Chu Sect, so you should know something about it. What do you think?"
"Alright." Chu Mu nodded. He was very interested in the Chu Sect. Since someone had invited him, he naturally wanted to join. "However, I'll go after getting a hundred-win streak."
"A hundred-win streak." Chu Xue's eyes suddenly flashed. "Alright. I didn't get a hundred-win streak back then. It's all up to you now."
Chu Xue stayed on the seventh floor of the human tower. It seemed like he was planning to leave after Chu Mu got a hundred-win streak. This made the five great emperors very depressed. They suddenly felt very uncomfortable and awkward.
Thinking about it, it made sense. To use an analogy, it was like five wolves gathered together. Suddenly, a tiger king appeared, and the five wolves became five lambs. How could they feel comfortable like that?
Staying was awkward, but leaving wasn't the right thing to do. They could only wait and hope that Chu Mu could get a hundred-win streak as soon as possible so that they could be free.
Although they were all first-step great emperors, there was a clear gap between their strength. Even if the five of them worked together, they wouldn't be Chu Xue's match. Therefore, Chu Xue didn't put them in his eyes at all. He directly ignored them. In his eyes, there was only Chu Mu.
…
The twenty-fifth day!
Chu Mu continued to accept challenges as the arena master.
Seventy-nine wins in a row!
With a peng, a tall and sturdy figure, like a large rock, landed heavily on the Hundred Battles Arena and appeared in front of Chu Mu.
With dark skin, a rugged face, and an incomparably muscular body, he was clearly a big guy.
"Human, I've said it before. Don't even think about getting eighty wins in a row." The newcomer was the beastman race's genius who had gotten eighty wins in a row before — Tyrant Bear.
"You can't." Chu Mu said neither quickly nor slowly. The Li Perishing Sword turned into a ray of light and tore through the sky, instantly arriving.
"Demonic Bear Fist." With a furious roar, Tyrant Bear's fist, which was the size of a normal person's head, fiercely punched out. It was accompanied by a loud roar of a black bear.
The Sword Light and the fist collided. Tyrant Bear ruthlessly charged towards Chu Mu. At the same time, Chu Mu also charged over with his sword.
Tyrant Bear was best at close combat. His body was huge, his body was strong, and his strength was incomparably tyrannical. With a light wave of his hand, he had the power to split mountains and split the earth. It was extremely terrifying. The Demonic Bear Fist that he cultivated was able to display his body's strength to the fullest.
Normally, when an opponent of the same level as him was in close combat, most of them would be defeated by him.
However, close combat was also what Chu Mu was best at.
The cultivation of the Truth Seeking Technique allowed Chu Mu's physique to far surpass that of human cultivators of the same level. This was an advantage that belonged to him.
The Great True Force was also an extremely powerful force. It allowed Chu Mu to become even stronger, and his close combat ability was further enhanced.
However, Tyrant Bear's strength still surpassed Chu Mu's. After all, that was what he was best at. As for Chu Mu, after one clash, he was able to distinguish the difference in strength between the two of them. He slightly changed his method, from a direct clash to a skirmish.
The Sword Light surrounded Tyrant Bear's body, looking for a flaw. Although Tyrant Bear's speed was not as fast as Chu Mu's, he was incomparably proficient in the Demonic Bear Fist. He had long grasped the essence of the Demonic Bear Fist. After each battle, he gradually modified and perfected it, becoming more compatible with his body, without any flaws.
A powerful martial art was one that was truly compatible with one's body. It could display one's strength to the fullest, and it could also diffuse one's inadequacies. Even if it could not make up for it, it could do its best to avoid it.
Tyrant Bear was a genius at the heaven's pride level. His talent was extraordinary, and his comprehension was not bad.
For a moment, the two sides were neck and neck. The battle was extremely intense and exciting.
Chu Xue had been watching the battle between Chu Mu and Tyrant Bear the entire time. He himself was a genius at the heaven's pride level. He could tell that both Chu Mu and the heaven's pride of the Bear clan were very talented and powerful. It was difficult to determine who was stronger at the moment, and it did not seem that easy to determine the victor.
Chu Xue's cultivation was profound, and he was powerful. His eyesight was even more shocking, but he still failed to see through Chu Mu's concealment.
"Human, you're quite strong," Tyrant Bear roared. He used his full strength and threw out a punch. Its power was even more shocking.
Chu Mu could only use the power of the Celestial Sword Runes.
After all, Tyrant Bear's cultivation was above his. His full strength was completely at the level of a Supreme Saint Master, and it was not weak either. Chu Mu could only use the power of the Celestial Sword Runes as he purposefully hid his own strength.
Even if he used the power of the Celestial Sword Runes, he could only barely fight to a draw with Tyrant Bear. He was mainly relying on his superb sword technique and superb sword skills.
"A natural sword cultivator," Chu Xue commented after observing.
Fight, fight, fight!
The Tyrant Bear used its tyrannical strength to unceasingly bombard Chu Mu. However, Chu Mu's performance was incomparably tenacious. He forcibly withstood the Tyrant Bear's attacks time and time again, finding a suitable time to counterattack. Each counterattack was incisive, interrupting the Tyrant Bear's gradually forming offensive, forcing it to start over again.
However, Chu Mu also found it very difficult to form a combo. After all, Tyrant Bear was indeed much stronger than him.
However, Chu Mu was extremely tenacious. No matter how Tyrant Bear attacked, he did not collapse. It was impossible to determine who would win in the end. After all, both sides were heaven's prides. They could not be judged by common sense.
"Beast transformation!"
With a furious roar, Tyrant Bear directly used his complete beast transformation.
His body swelled to three meters. Black hair drilled out from under his skin. His head, limbs, torso, and so on also rapidly changed. He changed from the shape of a human to the shape of a big black bear.
Previously, when he saw Tyrant Bear's complete beast transformation, it was from the perspective of a bystander. He did not feel it so clearly. However, this time, he was facing Tyrant Bear directly. The big black bear's aura after its complete beast transformation was monstrous. It was incomparably heavy and domineering. It made Chu Mu feel as if he had returned to the ancient wilderness and was facing an ancient savage beast.
After its complete beast transformation, Tyrant Bear's strength had at least doubled.
Doubling might not sound like much, but if one thought about it, one would know that it was very shocking. For example, if both sides had a strength value of 1000, and one was doubled, that would be 2000. The difference between 1000 and 2000 was huge, so much so that it could even be a crushing difference.
Seeing Tyrant Bear's complete beast transformation and feeling the terrifying aura impact and suppression, Chu Mu's body sank. It was as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on him. He knew that the absolute difference in strength made it difficult for him to fight against Tyrant Bear. He had to show more strength.
There were two choices.
One was to use a secret art. The true secrets of human dao. If his potential was stimulated, he would definitely be able to defeat Tyrant Bear.
The other was to release a part of his hidden strength.
