Chu Mu's hand paused for a moment before he continued to extend his hand. The identity sword token came into contact with the seal. Immediately, five hundred thousand credits were deducted and the seal disappeared.
A gust of wind came flying from his side. An arm was as fast as lightning trying to grab the mid-grade sword. However, it was still a step too late because the mid-grade sword had already fallen into Chu Mu's hands.
"Put down the Beheading Wind Sword!" The newcomer was angry as he coldly said.
Chu Mu glanced at him. This person was actually very handsome. The material of his blue robe was excellent. With one look, one could tell that he had an extraordinary background. However, his face was arrogant, as if he was very amazing. The tone of his voice was also full of command.
Chu Mu put away the identity sword token. Holding the mid-grade sword, the Beheading Wind Sword, he turned around and left without saying a word.
A gust of wind came and a figure flashed. This person appeared in front of Chu Mu, blocking Chu Mu's path. His arrogant face carried a bit of anger.
"Are you deaf? I … told … you … to … put … down … the … Beheading … Wind … Sword! "The other side said word by word. Every word contained an extremely strong edge, causing the air to vibrate.
"I used my credits to exchange for the Beheading Wind Sword. Why should I put it down?" Chu Mu smiled and said.
"I took a fancy to this sword three days ago. The reason why I didn't take it away these three days was because I was delayed by something. Now that I have time to take it, immediately hand over the Beheading Wind Sword to me. I will also transfer five hundred thousand credits to you." The other side coldly said. The arrogance in his tone could not be concealed.
In fact, he was not delayed by something, but because he did not have enough credits. He used these three days to gather five hundred thousand credits.
Now that he finally had enough credits, he did not expect that he would be one step slower and let the Beheading Wind Sword be exchanged for by someone else.
"I am very satisfied with the Beheading Wind Sword." Chu Mu indifferently said. The meaning of rejection was very obvious.
"Kid, do you know who I am? Let me give you a piece of advice. The water in the Inner Palace is very deep. Don't offend someone you don't know about because of a small matter. " The handsome blue-robed youth's tone became colder and colder: "I really need the Beheading Wind Sword right now. You can wait for a month to exchange, because at that time, the Beheading Wind Sword will be replenished."
Chu Mu immediately understood what was going on. The swords in the Sword Tool Pavilion were basically duplicates. It was similar to mass production.
However, after the first batch was produced, it would take a while before the second batch could be produced.
Thinking about it, it made sense. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many suitable names in the world to call or name the attributes according to the different attributes.
Perhaps only some truly rare swords were unique, or perhaps these swords were all imitations of extremely rare swords.
"Sorry, I also need the Beheading Wind Sword. You should wait for a month." Chu Mu indifferently said. His tone was neither servile nor overbearing.
The other party's attitude was arrogant and aggressive. Chu Mu never fell for it. If the other party could kindly explain to Chu Mu, perhaps Chu Mu would transfer the Beheading Wind Sword to him.
"You have to hand it over even if you don't want to." With a cold shout, the handsome blue-robed youth bent his hand into a claw. His speed was extremely fast, stirring up a gust of wind. His target was the Beheading Wind Sword in Chu Mu's hand.
Suddenly, the claw missed because the Beheading Wind Sword had disappeared. It was kept by Chu Mu in the Space Bracelet.
The other party suddenly became angry and shouted: "Immediately hand over the Beheading Wind Sword." At the same time, he once again grabbed at Chu Mu, trying to make Chu Mu surrender.
However, the claw missed again and Chu Mu's figure appeared a few meters away.
The other party became even more angry and attacked again. The Xiantian Sword Qi condensed and the surrounding air was filled with sharpness. It was as if the surrounding air was being cut. Moreover, the Wind Sword Qi whistled and twisted, forming a prison to bind Chu Mu.
Chu Mu's finger was like a sword as he drew a line in the air. The Tianyuan Sword Qi spread out and immediately cut the Wind Sword Qi. His figure flashed and he escaped.
The other party became even more angry and was about to pull out the Beheading Wind Sword.
Suddenly, a cold snort rang out. Like a clap of thunder, it exploded in Chu Mu's and the handsome blue robed youth's ears, causing their bodies to shake uncontrollably. The sword aura in their dantian was also shaken, as if it was about to scatter and disperse.
While Chu Mu and the blue-robed youth were shocked, they only felt that their bodies were suppressed by an invisible force and could not move. In front of this force, they were so small and laughable that they did not even have the chance to resist.
Completely unable to move, the two figures automatically flew up and quickly flew downstairs. In a flash, they appeared outside the Sword Tool Pavilion like lightning and landed on the ground.
"Since this is your first offense, I will not pursue it. If there is a next time, I will punish you severely!" At the same time, a majestic voice sounded in the ears of Chu Mu and the blue-robed youth, causing a strong impact and shock.
After that, Chu Mu and the blue-robed youth only felt that the restraint on their bodies disappeared and they regained the ability to move. However, they could not help but feel a lingering fear.
Too powerful, too powerful.
They were subdued without even seeing a shadow. The person who called himself an elder was definitely a powerful expert. His cultivation was definitely far beyond the Qi Transformation Stage, but they did not know which stage he was at.
"Hmph, you better remember that my name is Qi Shaofan. My brother is Qi Tianlei of the Thunder Fire Union. Today's matter will not be forgotten." The blue-robed youth looked back at the Sword Tool Pavilion with a lingering fear. If the other party had wanted to kill him at that moment, he would not have been able to even make a sound, let alone resist. He looked back at Chu Mu with cold and angry eyes. If Chu Mu had obediently handed over the Windcutter Sword to him, none of this would have happened. All of this was because of Chu Mu. One had to admit that his sense of superiority was too strong.
Qi Shaofan turned and left after threatening Chu Mu. At this time, he was not in the mood to ask for the Windcutter Sword from Chu Mu. Moreover, Chu Mu's meaning was very clear: No.
"Thunder Fire Union …" Chu Mu thought for a moment, then smiled without fear. "If you want to cause trouble for me, then you have to know who I am first."
From the beginning, Chu Mu had not revealed his identity or any other information. Even if the other party wanted to cause trouble for him, it would not be easy. There were more than seventy thousand inner palace students, and if Chu Mu stayed in the Sword Tool Pavilion to cultivate and did not come out, then finding him would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
Of course, if the Thunder Fire Union used their power to search for him, they should be able to find Chu Mu.
However, Chu Mu did not think that the leader of the Thunder Fire Union would make a big fuss over such a small matter. If he made a big fuss, then it meant that the other party was narrow-minded. How could such a person become the leader of one of the three unions? It would just be a joke.
Without the slightest worry, Chu Mu turned and left to return to Astral-9.
"It seems that the elder of the Sword Tool Pavilion lives on the fourth floor. What terrifying strength," Lu Yin muttered to himself as he walked back.
Chu Mu remembered the moment when he was unable to move. It made him realize that he was still not strong enough. He was still far from being strong enough. He was still too weak.
Although he could defeat many swordsmen who had achieved the Great Success of Qi Transformation with his initial Qi Transformation cultivation, he was still not strong enough to defeat those who had achieved the Perfection of Qi Transformation, let alone those on the Bronze Sword Ranking.
Furthermore, above the Qi Transformation Realm was the Qi Sea Realm, the Ninth Transformation Realm, and the Astral Realm. Above the Astral Realm were even more profound realms and even more powerful existences.
Right now, he could only be considered to have taken the first step on the path of a swordsman. Although his foundation was much better than others, he still needed more time.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and all kinds of shock eventually turned into motivation for Chu Mu.
After returning to Astral-9, Chu Mu went straight to his room on the third floor and took out the Windcutter Sword from his spatial bracelet.
The Windcutter Sword's scabbard was a gradual greenish-black color from one end to the other. It was covered with fish scale-like patterns, and it felt good when held in his hand.
Chu Mu gripped the hilt with his right hand and pulled out the Windcutter Sword. Suddenly, a cold aura burst forth, as if a gust of wind had appeared out of nowhere.
The Windcutter Sword's blade was two fingers wide, and its thickness and length were normal as well. Including the hilt, it was 103 centimeters long.
Chu Mu's Sword Observation Technique had already reached perfection, so he was able to grasp all the details of the Windcutter Sword.
This was where the difference came in.
If a swordsman who had not reached perfection in the Sword Observation Technique obtained the Windcutter Sword, they would need to spend a considerable amount of time to familiarize themselves with the sword. Only then would they be able to wield it as they pleased.
This was because all swords were different. Even if they were made of the same material and looked the same, it was like there were no two identical leaves in the world.
However, Chu Mu was different. He had reached perfection in the Sword Observation Technique, which allowed him to grasp all the details of a sword with just a few glances. Once he grasped it, he did not need to spend a lot of time to familiarize himself with it. He could wield it as if it were his own arm.
"500,000 academic credits. Although it's a little high, the Windcutter Sword is the best out of the thirty or so mid-tier swords. It can increase the power of a wind-type sword art by 30% and a wind-type low-tier ancient sword art by 15%. The increase is very obvious."
His left hand's fingers were like a sword as he slowly slid them across the Windcutter Sword's body. A trace of coldness spread through his fingers, and in that moment, Chu Mu felt as if Chu Mu had touched a cool breeze.
"I still need a mid-tier sword, regardless of whether it's a metal-type or a cloud-type sword. I'll keep the remaining Blood Evil Stones and Blood Essences for now. It seems like I'll have to think of other ways to exchange for the academic credits for the other mid-tier sword. However, now that I have the Windcutter Sword, there's no need to rush for the other mid-tier sword." Chu Mu thought to himself as he sheathed the Windcutter Sword.
"In the remaining time, I'll focus on cultivating. I'll try to comprehend the concept of wind to fifty percent as soon as possible and cultivate the Windcutter Sword Art. After that, I'll participate in the Sword Arts King Competition. After that, I'll return to the Chu Family to comprehend the Wind Painting Scroll and obtain the secret technique of the Aspect of Wind from it."
Chu Mu had a clear plan for all of this, and he was also following this plan step by step. Under the implementation of this plan, his strength was also steadily increasing … If you like this work, you're welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.
