There were ten courtyards in the inner palace, and each courtyard had ten thousand Sword Towers.
Among them, the Yellow Level Sword Tower had the most, with five thousand. Next was the Profound Level Sword Tower with three thousand, followed by the Earth Level Sword Tower with one thousand nine hundred, and lastly, the Heaven Level Sword Tower with one hundred.
The Spirit Qi in the Yellow Level Sword Tower was fifty percent denser and purer than the outside world, while the Spirit Qi in the Profound Level Sword Tower was a hundred percent denser and purer than the outside world. However, Chu Mu felt that it was still not enough. With his current strength, Chu Mu felt that he could continue to challenge the Earth Level Sword Tower.
The Spirit Qi in the Earth Level Sword Tower was fifteen percent denser and purer than the outside world. The efficiency of cultivation would be higher, and naturally, the progress would be faster.
After the deacon repeated his question, Chu Mu gave an affirmative answer. Thus, the deacon sent out a notice to the ten Profound Level Sword Tower students that Chu Mu had listed, telling them to prepare for the challenge.
The challenge would be tomorrow. Chu Mu returned to his Yellow Level Sword Tower. For him, if he won ten consecutive battles tomorrow, he would be able to challenge the Earth Level Sword Tower students. After defeating them, he would be able to move into the Earth Level Sword Tower.
As for the two thousand eight hundred Profound Level Sword Tower, he was too lazy to move it again.
However, if he was defeated, he would have to move out of the Profound Level Sword Tower and move into the Yellow Level Sword Tower. Fortunately, there was still a lot of space in the Yellow Level Sword Tower.
If he wanted to obtain the right to live in the Profound Level Sword Tower again, he would have to wait until next month to apply for the challenge. This was a small restriction for those who were defeated by the academy.
Meng Chao hated Chu Mu to the core. There was still half a month until next month, which meant that he had to cultivate in the Yellow Level Sword Tower for half a month.
For him, who was already used to the Spirit Qi in the Profound Level Sword Tower, this was a terrible result.
"I hope you are defeated." Meng Chao cursed.
...
"This Chu Mu is truly too arrogant. After challenging ten of our Yellow Rank Sword Tower's members and defeating one of our Xuan Rank Sword Tower's members, he unexpectedly still wants to continue the challenge. Moreover, he's challenging our Xuan Rank Sword Tower's members." Cao Lei was unable to restrain his anger because Chu Mu had chosen him as one of the ten people to challenge.
Cao Lei did not have much confidence in dealing with Chu Mu.
He knew Meng Chao's strength very well. He was not inferior to him. If Meng Chao was defeated so easily, how could Cao Lei be Chu Mu's opponent?
If it was a normal challenge, it would not be strange for him to be defeated.
However, the problem was that they all believed that Chu Mu was here for the Proud Sword Gang. He was provoking the Proud Sword Gang in the name of a challenge, which was a legitimate reason to humiliate the Proud Sword Gang.
Therefore, if they were defeated by Chu Mu, regardless of what others would say, they would feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts.
"Listen, even if you are not his match, you must remember to use your full strength from the beginning. You must injure him as a small revenge for his provocation," Huang Shaoan said with a sinister smile.
The others nodded in agreement.
…
The night passed quickly.
The Sixth Transformation of the Nine Transformations of Heavenly Origin was more profound and mysterious than the Fifth Transformation. It was impossible to master it in a short period of time. However, Chu Mu was not in a hurry now. With his current cultivation of Qi Transformation, it was one in a million if he could master the Fifth Transformation.
Other than resting that night, Chu Mu's focus was on the Secrets of Heavenly Origin.
Congratulations, he had finally mastered the Secrets of Heavenly Origin. It was indeed very convenient for him to have a strong comprehension ability.
Once the Secrets of Heavenly Origin was mastered, Chu Mu felt as if his body was undergoing some strange changes. He could not tell what the changes were, but he could clearly feel that the changes were taking place.
The changes lasted for a whole night. After careful examination, Chu Mu found that his Phantom Steps and Windwalk had indeed improved from the advanced level to the super level. However, his Sweeping Gale Movement was still at the advanced level.
"It seems that the Secrets of Heavenly Origin can only improve one movement technique and one movement technique. But even so, it's still very good." Chu Mu thought to himself, "I've already mastered the super level Windwalk movement technique. Maybe it's because I created it myself. However, after the Phantom Steps was upgraded to the super level, I'm only at the level of Dacheng. This Phantom Steps is more profound and mysterious than before. I need to spend some time to understand it."
He got up and left the Sword Tower, heading to the Hundred Affair Hall branch again.
"You're here. Let's go." It was the same deacon from yesterday. When he saw Chu Mu, he smiled and followed Chu Mu to the Sword Tower area.
"Most of the students living in the Sword Tower are at the initial level of Qi Transformation. Among the ten people you've challenged, one of them is at the peak of the initial level of Qi Transformation. He's relatively strong. You'll be the last to challenge him." The deacon said.
Chu Mu nodded. He did not care. Whether he challenged first or last, it was still a challenge and he would still be defeated.
The first person to challenge was Cao Lei.
Cao Lei did not say a word. His expression was cold. As soon as the challenge started, he immediately drew his sword and used his super level sword technique. His sword swept up purple lightning and struck towards Chu Mu.
The air crackled, giving off crackling sounds that made one's scalp go numb. Countless purple arcs of lightning leaped about in the air, and the area within ten meters was filled with purple lightning. Each lightning bolt was as thick as an arm and had 40% of the Concept of Thunder fused into it. Its power was extremely terrifying.
If it were any other initial level Qi Transformation Sword Artist, they would have been injured or even killed by such a sudden and powerful attack.
However, Chu Mu had entered battle mode from the beginning. When Cao Lei drew his sword, he could feel the tyrannical sword Qi fluctuation. He knew that Cao Lei's attack was definitely powerful.
Chu Mu used the super level Windwalk movement technique and infused it with forty seven percent of the wind concept. His body was constantly changing. Bolts of lightning shot towards Chu Mu, but they could not touch him.
The Clear Wind Sword was unsheathed. With a clear sound, Chu Mu's sword, which was wrapped in Xiantian sword Qi, flashed with a gloomy light.
The sword pierced out like a hot knife through butter. Even the arm-thick lightning could not resist it. It was defeated by Chu Mu's sword.
The gloomy sword condensed with Xiantian sword Qi was even more powerful under the high-speed vibration.
The lightning was shattered, and Cao Lei's protective sword Qi was also destroyed. The power of the gloomy sword was exhausted. Cao Lei hurriedly used his sword to block. Chu Mu turned his sword and avoided Cao Lei's sword. He used the body of his sword to hit Cao Lei's chest. With a bang, the power exploded. Cao Lei's whole body was sent flying. He felt his blood and Qi churning. His chest was tight and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Before he could even stand firm, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes. A sharp and cold feeling came from his throat.
"You lost." Chu Mu said indifferently and sheathed his sword.
"One win in a row." The deacon said with a smile.
Just now, Cao Lei had used a killing move right off the bat, causing him to jump in fright. In that situation, even if it was him, he wouldn't be able to react in time and would definitely be in a difficult situation. He thought that Chu Mu would fail miserably at such an easy task. He didn't expect Chu Mu to defeat Cao Lei unscathed.
The deacon did not understand how Chu Mu defeated Cao Lei.
Cao Lei clenched his fists. He was very unwilling to accept this result. He had used his full strength in an instant, but he was still defeated. That sword was really terrifying. If it was an enemy, it would have been enough to kill him.
The second battle began. Cao Lei also used a killing move right from the start. He did not hold back at all. It was as if he was Chu Mu's mortal enemy.
But at the same time, under Chu Mu's gloomy sword, not only could he not defeat Chu Mu, but he was also easily defeated by Chu Mu.
"Two wins in a row." The deacon smiled.
The third battle began even before the deacon announced the start of the battle. He also used his full strength and did not hold back. He wanted to kill Chu Mu directly.
Chu Mu was a little angry. This time, he used more strength. The gloomy sword, which was mixed with the tyrannical Tianyuan Sword Qi, directly broke Cao Lei's protective Sword Qi and sent him flying. He spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and fell to the ground, groaning.
In terms of cultivation level, Chu Mu was only at the Beginner Level of Qi Transformation. In terms of the density of Sword Qi, Chu Mu might be a little inferior to them, but in terms of the purity of Sword Qi, the Tianyuan Sword Qi at the Fifth Transformation was a little better than them.
The density of Sword Qi was related to a longer battle, while the purity of Sword Qi could be more powerful in an instant.
Chu Mu's supreme level body movement, gloomy sword, and Tianyuan Sword Qi, which was a little purer than theirs, combined with Chu Mu's unpredictable swordsmanship was definitely not something they could resist.
"Three wins in a row." The deacon found that he seemed to like this feeling. As for the people who were injured, it was none of their business as long as no one was killed.
"Four wins in a row."
"Five wins in a row."
"Six wins in a row."
"Seven wins in a row."
Cao Lei defeated them one by one. Every one of them used his full strength without holding back, but in the end, he was sent flying and injured by Chu Mu.
"They are all from the Proudsword Gang. It seems that your previous challenge made the Proudsword Gang plan to hurt you and make you unable to challenge them," the deacon said with a little dissatisfaction.
He was not afraid of the Proudsword Gang, because he was the deacon of the Inner Mansion's Hall of Hundred Affairs. Unless they were from the One Hall, Two Pavilions, and Three Alliances, he would not be afraid of other organizations.
Another figure was sent flying, spitting out blood, and hit the seal, creating countless ripples.
The deacon could also see that these people's ruthlessness had angered Chu Mu, so Chu Mu had used a little more strength, but it was very satisfying.
At this moment, the deacon was on the same side as Chu Mu.
"Eight wins in a row. There are only two left. After you defeat them, you can challenge the students of the Earth Level Sword Tower," the deacon said.
"Nine wins in a row. The last one is the strongest. You have to be careful."
The tenth student that Chu Mu challenged was indeed rather strong. Chu Mu had to use a full ten strikes to defeat his opponent, even when he was holding back.
"Congratulations, you have the right to challenge the students of the Earth Level Sword Tower. Who do you want to challenge?" the deacon asked.
"Him." Chu Mu pointed at the name on the list.
"Huang Shaoan … I will arrange it for you immediately," the deacon said with a smile. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
