(Thanks to "Wind-Chasing Eyes" for his birthday red packet)
"Chu Mu, this is the name list you asked for." Liang Haishan handed a name list to Chu Mu. His expression kept changing. After a moment of hesitation, he continued, "With your strength, you can indeed challenge the right to live in the Sword Tower. But you don't have to choose only the members of the Ao Sword Gang. This will completely offend the Ao Sword Gang."
When Chu Mu found Liang Haishan and asked him to give him a name list of the members of the Ao Sword Gang, Liang Haishan had a bad feeling.
When Liang Haishan knew that Chu Mu's purpose was to challenge the right to live in a higher level Sword Tower, especially the members of the Ao Sword Gang, he was extremely shocked.
It was normal to challenge the right to live in a higher level Sword Tower. There was nothing strange about it.
But if it was a challenge aimed at a group or an organization, it was abnormal. Anyone would know that there must be something fishy about it.
And the result of doing so would often be to make enemies with an organization, which would eventually become an irreconcilable hatred.
"Don't get involved in this matter." Chu Mu said. He took the name list and left Liang Haishan's Sword Tower for the branch of the Hundred Affairs Hall.
Liang Haishan was only a swordsman who had achieved initial success in Qi Transformation. How could he compete with an organization like the Ao Sword Gang? But Chu Mu was different from him.
Chu Mu's ambition was higher than the sky.
…
"Are you sure you want to challenge the right to live in the Sword Tower?" The deacon of the Hundred Affairs Hall asked.
"Yes." Chu Mu answered lightly.
"You should be clear about the rules of the challenge, but I still have to repeat it. You have to defeat ten members of the Sword Tower at the same level. If you fail once, the challenge will end with a failure. You can't apply for another challenge within three months." The deacon said, "Now, make your choice. Do you want to randomly pick ten members of the Sword Tower at the same level to challenge, or do you want to specifically challenge someone?"
"Pick ten from the people on this list." Chu Mu handed the name list to the deacon.
The deacon took a few glances and his pupils shrank. He felt that this person came prepared.
But this had nothing to do with him.
He quickly picked ten people from the list. The deacon sent out a notice in advance to inform these ten people that someone was going to challenge them, so they could be prepared.
"Let's go, I will be your witness." The deacon said.
Chu Mu's first challenge was Zhang Tiancheng.
"You are Chu Mu, are you sure you want to challenge me?" Zhang Tiancheng creased his brows and said. He already knew of Chu Mu's name. However, he didn't know of the relationship between Huang Shaoan and Chu Mu. He only thought that this was a simple challenge.
"Draw your sword. After defeating you, I still have to defeat the others."
"Arrogant!" Zhang Tiancheng was so angry that he started laughing. He pulled out his sword and Innate Sword Qi surged forth.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But all his efforts were in vain. In the next breath, he felt a cold blade on his neck. He knew he had lost, and his expression became gloomy.
Zhang Tiancheng's sword Qi cultivation was only at the entry level, which was the same as Chu Mu's. However, Chu Mu cultivated the Nine Revolutions of Heaven Yuan, and had reached the fifth revolution. Zhang Tiancheng cultivated the Low Profound Level Cultivation Technique that was given to him for free by the Inner House. Coupled with the gap between their sword arts, it was not strange for him to be defeated in one strike.
"One win in a row." The deacon recorded the result. He was secretly surprised. Chu Mu's unpredictable movements terrified him.
Chu Mu and the deacon immediately rushed to another sword tower.
Zhang Tiancheng's expression changed. He gritted his teeth and finally followed them. He was very curious.
"This guy's second challenge is actually him." Zhang Tiancheng was startled when he saw the second person Chu Mu challenged.
This person was called Li Xinghui. He was also at the entry level of the Qi Transformation Realm. Similarly, he was defeated by Chu Mu in one strike.
As a spectator, Zhang Tiancheng felt his hair stand on end when he saw Chu Mu defeat Li Xinghui in one strike.
Li Xinghui's strength was not inferior to Zhang Tiancheng's, but he was defeated by Chu Mu in one strike even when he used his full strength.
Chu Mu's unpredictable movements were like a ghost, and the sword in his hand was like a divine weapon from outer space. Zhang Tiancheng finally understood why he was defeated so quickly.
"Two wins in a row." The deacon recorded again. He secretly thought that Chu Mu's challenge would not fail.
After all, most of the students who lived in the Yellow Level Sword Tower were only at the entry level of the Qi Transformation Realm. With such a cultivation level, they were defeated by Chu Mu in one strike. Even if they were at the initial level of the Qi Transformation Realm, they might not be a match for Chu Mu.
He vaguely remembered that when Chu Mu had just entered the Inner Mansion, he had issued a challenge. At that time, his opponent was a student at the initial level of the Qi Transformation Realm. In the end, that student was defeated by Chu Mu.
"Looks like he's in the bag." The deacon secretly smiled.
He went to challenge the third person, and Zhang Tiancheng followed him. The third person was from the Proudsword Gang, so Zhang Tiancheng naturally knew him.
"How … How could they all be from the Proudsword Gang?" Zhang Tiancheng's expression suddenly changed. He thought of a possibility, "Could it be that Chu Mu is using the challenge as an excuse to tarnish the reputation of the Proudsword Gang? He's deliberately causing trouble for the Proudsword Gang?"
"If that's the case, then this Chu Mu is too arrogant." Zhang Tiancheng clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in anger. He wanted to grab Chu Mu and interrogate him, but unfortunately, he was not a match for Chu Mu.
"I can't just let this go. I must report this." Zhang Tiancheng secretly said, "But before that, I need to confirm whether it's a coincidence or deliberately causing trouble for the Proudsword Gang."
"Three wins in a row." The deacon recorded again.
"Four wins in a row."
"Five wins in a row."
One after another, Chu Mu won without any pressure. He easily defeated his opponents.
None of them could make Chu Mu use his sword a second time.
Zhang Tiancheng, who was following from a distance, became more and more upset. The five people who were defeated by Chu Mu in a row were all from the Proudsword Gang.
"Again …" Zhang Tiancheng's mouth kept twitching. He was sure that Chu Mu was indeed using the challenge as an excuse to cause trouble for the Proudsword Gang.
There was nothing strange about being defeated in this kind of challenge.
However, if the ten people who were defeated were all from the same group or organization, it would inevitably lead to some speculation and all kinds of discussions.
"I must report this as soon as possible." Zhang Tiancheng secretly said and quickly turned to leave.
Chu Mu and the deacon knew that Zhang Tiancheng had been following them, but they didn't care. Now that he had left, they didn't care either.
"Six wins in a row." The deacon recorded again.
Next …
"Seven wins in a row."
…
"What? You said that Chu Mu applied for the right to live in the Sword Tower and challenged our Proudsword Gang's people? "Cao Lei was startled at first, then asked coldly.
"Yes, I was the first one to be challenged. The second one was Li Xinghui. The third one was … when I arrived here, Chu Mu had already challenged the sixth one, and it was still our gang's people." Zhang Tiancheng said with certainty.
"I see. You can go back." Cao Lei's expression changed as he said.
"This Chu Mu provoked our gang. We can't let him go." Zhang Tiancheng quickly said.
"Okay, I will report this immediately. You don't need to pay attention to it." Cao Lei frowned and waved his hand. Zhang Tiancheng didn't know what was going on, but Cao Lei guessed that it was because of the threat from Huang Shaoan and the others.
"He is indeed very courageous. Unfortunately, he is not smart enough to provoke our Proudsword Gang. He is courting death." After Zhang Tiancheng left, Cao Lei's expression changed. He rubbed his chin and walked down the Sword Tower. He planned to find the higher-ups of the Proudsword Gang and report this matter.
…
"Eight wins in a row." The deacon recorded again.
"Nine wins in a row. If you defeat the last one, you will have ten wins in a row. You will get a chance to challenge a student of the Sword Tower." The deacon said.
Chu Mu nodded and went to another Sword Tower.
The tenth member of the Proudsword Gang was defeated by Chu Mu with a single strike.
"Haha, congratulations, Chu Mu. You have ten wins in a row. You will get a chance to challenge a student of the Sword Tower. You can use this chance now or later, but it must be within a month." The deacon said.
"I will use it now. I want to challenge him." Chu Mu pointed at the name on the list and said.
"He …" The deacon's expression was a little strange, but he didn't object.
…
"So it's you. I lost to you last time because I was careless. This time, don't even think about defeating me." Meng Chao shouted with a stern voice.
That's right. The student Chu Mu wanted to challenge was Meng Chao.
Meng Chao had joined the Proudsword Gang not long ago. Because he couldn't defeat Chu Mu, he couldn't join the Sky King Palace.
"Cut the crap." Chu Mu said as he pulled out the Breeze Sword.
Meng Chao sneered and immediately pulled out his low-grade sword. He stabbed out with the sword and the flames burned.
The air became hot, burning the ground and making it difficult for people to breathe.
However, Chu Mu drew a circle with his sword, creating a suction force that sucked in all the heat. The tip of the sword trembled and circle after circle overlapped. The burning flames were all sucked in by the suction force.
Even though Chu Mu hadn't practiced the Shocking Wind Sword Art yet, his sword skills had greatly improved. Chu Mu's strength had increased by leaps and bounds.
"Let me tell you, my fire essence has reached forty percent. My Raging Flame Sword Art has also greatly increased. You can't be my opponent." Meng Chao shouted, as if he was emboldening himself. His sword was even more powerful.
Chu Mu's whole body seemed to be surrounded by the flames.
In that instant, the deacon vaguely saw a wisp of darkness flying through the raging flames. It was like an illusion.
Meng Chao's protective sword qi was instantly shattered. Chu Mu's sword steadily fell on Meng Chao's throat.
"This …" The deacon was very surprised. He knew that Chu Mu had defeated Meng Chao before, but now Meng Chao was even more powerful than before. He originally thought that even if Chu Mu could defeat Meng Chao again, it would at least take some effort. He didn't expect that Meng Chao would be defeated in less than three moves. This was too unbelievable.
"Impossible …" Meng Chao couldn't accept this fact. He was a little dazed. "Let's fight again. This time doesn't count. I haven't even used my full strength."
Meng Chao was indeed defeated by Chu Mu without using his full strength. In the end, it was because Chu Mu's strength was much stronger than before.
Chu Mu didn't care about Meng Chao's clamor. A defeat was a defeat. No matter how many times they fought, it would still be the same. Even if Meng Chao didn't want to admit defeat, Chu Mu wouldn't care. He didn't need Meng Chao to admit defeat.
"Congratulations, this Sword Tower number two thousand eight hundred will be yours from now on." The deacon smiled and didn't care about Meng Chao.
"Number two thousand eight hundred … I want to continue." Chu Mu glanced at the tower and said. The deacon and Meng Chao were stunned. Their faces were full of shock. (To be continued.)
