The second round of the finals had ended. Chu Mu had won one and lost one, while Xue Yinling had lost two. However, it did not affect her mentality.
In the third round, Chu Mu's opponent was an Invincible Half-Step Great Emperor. They had seen Chu Mu's invincible sword attack, which was powerful enough to threaten them. Naturally, they would not allow Chu Mu to use such a sword attack. Therefore, they took the initiative to attack and killed Chu Mu within a few moves.
After another death and resurrection, Chu Mu had a deeper understanding of the Reincarnation Sword Style.
What was reincarnation?
The four seasons rotated, and life and death alternated.
The alternation of life and death formed reincarnation.
Death could give people a deep insight, and so could new life. Of course, the death and resurrection here were not as pure. Therefore, there was always something missing.
Xue Yinling's opponent in the third round was a Peak Half-Step Great Emperor. After a fierce battle, Xue Yinling won.
There were five undefeatable half-step Martial Monarchs and five peak half-step Martial Monarchs. There were ten of them in total. This meant that under normal circumstances, any peak half-step Martial Monarch would lose at least five battles, and win at most four battles.
Four matches was the theoretical number of wins. It was possible that they could only win three, two, or even one, or even none.
The fourth round began and the battles continued. In this round, Chu Mu's opponent was a peak half step Great Emperor. However, in the fierce battle, Chu Mu used Reincarnation Sword Style to push Sword Two forward and killed him in one slash, obtaining two victories.
Xue Yinling's opponent was a Peak Half-Step Great Emperor. She won two rounds.
Some battles ended in a short time, while others took at least half an hour. For Chu Mu, the longer the battle, the better. Because he could stay in the Small World for a longer time.
The fourth round ended and the fifth round began.
However, in this round, Chu Mu's opponent was an Invincible Half-Step Great Emperor. Of course, he was defeated even though he gave his all. The gap between their strength was too obvious. Three losses and two wins.
Soon, Xue Yinling was also selected to fight. Just like Chu Mu, she lost three and won two.
In the sixth round, Chu Mu lost three and won three, while Xue Yinling lost four and won two.
In the seventh round, Chu Mu had four losses and three wins, while Xue Yinling had four losses and three wins.
In the eighth round, Chu Mu inevitably encountered Xue Yinling.
In the Ranking Battle of the Ten, any one of them would have to fight with the other nine. It was inevitable that Chu Mu and Xue Yinling would meet.
"Between the two of them, who will win?" Many people were puzzled.
So far, Chu Mu and Xue Yinling were regarded as the two strongest peak half step emperors among the ten. However, it was unclear who was stronger because the two of them had displayed very powerful strength. It was hard to tell.
In that case, it was easy to tell who was stronger and who was weaker. They would know after a fight. Now, it was an opportunity. Many people opened their eyes wide. They wanted to see the battle between Chu Mu and Xue Yinling. They wanted to see who was stronger and who was weaker.
It was a battle between the top geniuses.
However, what happened next left everyone dumbfounded.
"I admit defeat," Xue Yinling said immediately after she was chosen. She spoke even faster than Chu Mu.
As soon as she admitted defeat, the Spirit of the Small World judged that Chu Mu had won. Thus, Chu Mu had four losses and four wins, while Xue Yinling had five losses and three wins.
The ninth round was the last round of the finals.
Chu Mu only had one opponent left, an invincible Great Emperor. As expected, Chu Mu lost. He had five losses and four wins. He was the one with the most wins among the five invincible Great Emperors. Without a doubt, Chu Mu would be the sixth.
Xue Yinling had won three times. There was another person who had the same number of wins as her. There would be a battle between the two of them to determine the number of wins and the seventh place.
As for the five half-step Martial Monarchs who were ranked in the top five, two of them had the same number of victories — six victories each. There would be a battle between them to determine who was ranked fourth and fifth.
Xue Yinling's fight was the first.
Xue Yinling's opponent was very strong. Xue Yinling exerted her Sword Principle of the Void to the extreme, exerted her strength to the extreme, and also used her secret skills to defeat her opponent. In terms of strength, they were almost the same, but Xue Yinling had a better grasp of the timing of the battle, which gave her a slight advantage.
Then, it was the fight between the two invincible Great Emperors. Their strengths were about the same. It was hard to tell who would win.
After fighting fiercely for about an hour, the outcome was decided.
The centennial competition of the Great Alliance was over. The final ranking was out.
The first place was an invincible Great Emperor from the Ancient Spirit Clan. This made everyone unhappy, especially the four clans. After all, the Ancient Spirit Clan was just a small clan. However, the Ancient Spirit Clan was a very special small clan. Although there were only a few of them, they were all elites and geniuses. There was a reason why they had won the first place.
The second place was an orc. He was a rare Dragon-man. When he completely transformed, he would turn into a violent dragon. He was extremely powerful and terrifying.
The third place was a swordsman from the Human Clan. His sword was extremely sharp. At the same time, he was the first on the Ancient Sword City's Genius List.
The fourth place was an orc from the King Kong Clan. He had an unparalleled physique.
The fifth place was the Soldier Clan. His arms could transform into various weapons. His fighting style was flexible.
The sixth place was Chu Mu.
The seventh place was Xue Yinling.
The eighth place was the King Kong Clan.
The ninth place was the Soldier Clan.
The tenth place was the Orc Clan.
Except for the Ancient Spirit Clan and the Snow Clan, all the other small clans had been annihilated. However, this was normal. In the past, the Ancient Spirit Clan would at most enter the top ten, while the other small clans would be annihilated. This time, the Holy Maiden of the Snow Clan was included.
"It's finally over." Everyone sighed in their hearts.
Although this kind of battle was very intense and exciting, and the training that it brought to them was also very obvious, it also made them feel very tired. Not physically tired, but mentally tired. At this time, what everyone needed the most was to relax, not think about anything, and have a good rest.
The giants understood this very well. Therefore, they were not in a hurry to announce the final reward. Instead, they asked them to leave the small world and return to the main hall to rest.
After emptying his mind, Chu Mu lay on the cold jade bed. He closed his eyes and his breathing became steady and long. He gradually fell asleep.
It had been a long time since Chu Mu had slept. He had always been meditating and cultivating as a substitute.
This sleep lasted for two days and two nights. Chu Mu opened his eyes naturally. His clear and deep eyes seemed to contain the mystery of time and space.
When he woke up, Chu Mu felt very comfortable. All the tiredness after the fierce battle disappeared without a trace. His essence, qi, and spirit were all at the peak. He seemed to have made progress.
He did not go out of the room. Instead, he lay quietly on the bed. He still did not think about anything. He let his mind be in a state of emptiness.
After half a day, Chu Mu got up and moved his hands and feet. He accelerated his Qi and blood, and his body was full of strength. Chu Mu sat cross-legged and recalled the previous battles. Every battle was wonderful.
This time, a few days passed. He had been awakened. Otherwise, it would have taken even longer for him to wake up.
The Great Alliance's competition, which was held once in a century, was about to give out the rewards.
The top ten were quickly gathered.
"Congratulations on entering the top ten," said one of the overlords with a smile.
"There are two rewards in total." Another overlord announced, "The first reward is Clan Points."
The Sword Alliance of the Human Race had Clan Points. The other races also had Clan Points.
"The tenth place will be rewarded with 10,000 Clan Points. The ninth place will be rewarded with 20,000 Clan Points …" Everyone was surprised by the overlords' announcement.
It was very difficult to obtain Clan Points. Chu Mu had stayed in the Prodigy Barracks of the Ancient Sword City for seven to eight years, but he had only obtained a little more than 2,000 Clan Points. It was too difficult to obtain 10,000 Clan Points. According to his speed, it would take him at least ten years or even twenty to thirty years.
Moreover, the reward of 10,000 Clan Points was given to the tenth place. The ninth place would be rewarded with 20,000 Clan Points. Chu Mu was the sixth place, so he would receive 50,000 Clan Points.
Based on the current speed, it would take at least a hundred years to obtain 50,000 Clan Points. Moreover, it would be the result of continuous accumulation. It wasn't like now where they could obtain 50,000 Clan Points directly. Many Great Emperors didn't have such a huge amount of Clan Points.
Thinking of this, Chu Mu couldn't help but feel excited. With 50,000 Clan Points, his subsequent cultivation plan could be more perfect, and his cultivation and strength could be improved faster.
The first place would be rewarded with 100,000 Clan Points. The Ancient Spirit clan member couldn't help but feel excited.
"The second reward is a chance to enter the first stage of the original universe to cultivate," said the overlord. "The tenth place will be able to cultivate in the original universe for one year. The ninth place will be able to cultivate in the original universe for two years …"
The second place would be able to cultivate in the original universe for nine years, and the first place would be able to cultivate in the original universe for ten years.
Chu Mu was the sixth place, so he would be able to cultivate in the original universe for five years.
Chu Mu remembered that he had read a book about the original universe. There were relevant records, but they weren't very detailed.
The so-called original universe referred to the embryonic form of the universe, which was the universe that had just been formed after an explosion. The first stage of the original universe was the initial form of the universe, and it contained all kinds of immature universe origins.
There were very few original universes, and it was difficult to find a few in the entire Primordial Sector. They were controlled by the Great Alliance and owned by all the races.
The original universe was a place suitable for comprehending the origins. The origins were usually only suitable for great beings at the dominator level or great beings who had reached the pinnacle of the great emperor level and wanted to break through to the dominator level. However, the origins of the original universe, especially the first stage of the original universe, were the most immature and imperfect origins. Not only were they suitable for great emperors to comprehend, but they were also suitable for those below the great emperor level.
