Batch after batch of students challenged the three swordsmanship tests. Some succeeded, while others failed. They dared not be complacent if they succeeded, but they could not avoid being disappointed if they failed.
The top seven from the previous batch had all challenged the three tests and entered the forbidden area.
Another batch appeared, and Chu Mu was among them.
"It's Senior Brother Zhong Liyang. He's about to start his challenge."
"In the previous batch, Senior Brother Zhong was ranked tenth in the academy, and was ranked 153rd on the King Ranking List."
"Other than Senior Brother Zhong, the other nine are probably nothing special. Senior Brother Zhong will definitely be the first to pass the three tests."
All sorts of discussions rang out. Chu Mu glanced at the person next to him. He was also wearing a cyan colored robe and looked to be around 24 or 25 years old. His face was cold, but there was a flash of pride in his eyes. This meant that his temperament wasn't as calm as he looked on the surface.
The test began. Chu Mu and the other ten people flew out and rushed into the room in the blink of an eye.
As soon as he entered the room, Chu Mu felt a very strange feeling. There was not the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy in the room, and this feeling made him know that the Innate Sword Qi in his Dantian seemed to be imprisoned. It was motionless, and even his soul seemed to be affected.
However, it was not because his soul was affected, but because of some kind of seal. His own artistic conception was temporarily isolated, and he could not use it.
In this way, in this room, he could only rely on his body and his swordsmanship.
As soon as he entered the room, in addition to this strange feeling, Chu Mu saw three sharp Sword Light flying in front of him.
He unsheathed his Windcutter Sword and shattered the three Sword Light with one strike.
Chu Mu's footsteps didn't stop as he quickly charged forward.
There was no light in the room, and it was very dark. Even with the Perfect Vision Sword, Chu Mu could not see clearly. He could only see some vague outlines.
This did not pose any hindrance to Chu Mu. Seven or eight Sword Light came from the front, the sides, and the back. Each of them was very sharp, and it was hard to imagine that he would not be injured by these Sword Light.
Chu Mu would never try it. Even if he wanted to, it would not be under such circumstances.
He casually swung his sword, and the seven or eight Sword Light were all shattered.
The first stage of the three stages of swordsmanship tested the defense of the sword, but defense did not mean that one could block the attack foolishly.
Sometimes, attacking was also a good defense, just like now.
Although Chu Mu didn't have Xiantian Sword Qi, nor did he use any martial arts or footwork, his speed was still very fast, and he dashed forward in a straight line.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Dozens of Sword Light shot toward Chu Mu from all directions. It was as if they wanted to turn him into a beehive.
"At first, there were only three, then eight, and now there are fifteen." Chu Mu thought to himself as he continued to walk forward. With a light flick of his Windcutter Sword, the incomparably sharp tip of the sword instantly shattered all fifteen Sword Light. It seems like it is just as that person said. If I move forward by myself, I will receive even more powerful attacks.
At this time, Chu Mu could already see the exit on the other side.
His speed suddenly increased, and at the same time, twenty-five Sword Light shot out from nowhere, intertwining with each other as if they wanted to tear Chu Mu into pieces.
Chu Mu's expression did not change, but his eyes were covered with a faint layer of light, as cold as water.
No matter which angle the Sword Light came from, none of them could escape his senses. Thus, he swung his sword, and the sharp tip of the Windcutter Sword instantly shattered the twenty-five Sword Light.
The twenty-five Sword Light shattered at the same time, and turned into bright lights that were annihilated.
At this time, Chu Mu had already dashed to the exit, and he took a step forward.
"It seems like the intensity of the attacks in the first stage is adjusted according to the speed of the person who enters." Chu Mu thought to himself. Other than him, there seemed to be no one else.
Sure enough, at the moment he rushed out, he heard some exclamations.
"In less than five breaths of time, how is this possible?"
"And it's not Senior Brother Zhong, but someone I've never seen before. He looks so young."
"I know him. His name is Chu Mu. He's a new student."
"What? The Chu Mu who got 310,000 credits in the Blood Demon Realm?"
"Is his swordsmanship comparable to Senior Brother Zhu's?"
"That's impossible. Although he passed the first stage very quickly, it only means that his swordsmanship is good, and his speed is also very fast. After all, it's not particularly difficult to pass the first stage."
There was a distance of a hundred meters between the first stage and the second stage. Chu Mu kept moving forward at a constant speed. After about six breaths of time, when Chu Mu was about to enter the second stage, the second person rushed out of the house.
"How is this possible? I'm not the first one! " Zhong Liyang was shocked, and his face was full of surprise. Originally, he thought that with his attainments in swordsmanship, although not comparable to Zhu Tianzhao's and the others', he was definitely the strongest among the ten people in the same batch, and even stronger than many others.
Therefore, he felt that it was already very good for him to be able to pass the first stage within ten breaths of time. It was better than the last time, which showed that he had made progress.
Unexpectedly, there was someone who passed the first stage one step ahead of him. No, it was several breaths of time before he passed the first stage.
It was unbelievable. At this moment, Zhong Liyang suspected that his eyes were playing tricks on him.
He hurriedly sped up. No matter what, Zhong Liyang had to pass the second stage before the other person.
"The first stage is a test of defense, but there are some particularly flexible people who can pass it very quickly. They don't rely on profound swordsmanship." Zhong Liyang said to himself, "The second stage is the real test of swordsmanship. This time, I'll definitely pass it faster than you."
With a whoosh, Zhong Liyang rushed into the house of the second stage.
The house of the second stage was also dark. Chu Mu's Innate Sword Qi and essence were still suppressed, unable to move.
Different from the first stage, after entering the second stage, he did not receive any attacks. In the house, white bubbles the size of duck eggs suddenly appeared one after another. They were very clear in the darkness.
The distribution of the bubbles was irregular. There might be more on the left and less on the right. It could also be that the arrangement of the bubbles was not uniform. The bubbles could be close to each other, or they could be very far apart.
Suddenly, the bubbles lit up one after another.
Chu Mu immediately drew his Sword Light. The Windcutter Sword left seven faint sword lights in the darkness and then disappeared. The seven bubbles that lit up one after another were destroyed by Chu Mu before their light dimmed.
The other bubbles all disappeared in an instant. With a creak, the door on the opposite side opened automatically, and a ray of light shone in.
Chu Mu flashed and rushed out of the room.
The moment Chu Mu rushed out of the room and rushed towards the seal 100 meters away, Zhong Liyang entered the second stage.
Therefore, Zhong Liyang did not see Chu Mu pass the second stage. Otherwise, he did not know what kind of shock he would receive.
"Look, it's that guy. He passed again. This time, it took him less than five breaths." The remaining students suddenly exclaimed.
"It's incredible. If passing the first stage can be explained, then passing the second stage so quickly? You should know that compared to the first stage, the second stage's assessment of swordsmanship is much clearer. "
"So, this guy's swordsmanship attainment is very high?"
"If this guy's swordsmanship attainment is really high, then this time, there will be a good show to watch."
All kinds of discussions sounded, but because it was too far away, Chu Mu did not hear them. He also did not bother to pay attention to them.
He quickly rushed over 100 meters and arrived in front of the seal.
The wooden shelf was two meters high, and there were ten unsharpened swords hanging on it. They should belong to the low-grade swords class.
However, these ten unsharpened low-grade swords were not divided into any elements. There was no fire or wind element, so they could be considered as non-elemental swords.
The only difference was their appearance. One of them was a normal sword, while the other nine were either short swords, longer swords, medium swords, thinner swords, narrower swords, larger swords, or heavier swords. They were all different from each other.
After all, some swordsmen were used to using non-standard swords, so when they used standard swords, it was difficult for them to exert the power of their swordsmanship. This was because they had not reached the realm where everything could be used as a sword. In fact, until now, it was only a legend.
Chu Mu naturally used a normal sword. He grabbed the sword with one hand, and the sword's length and weight all appeared in his mind.
Looking in front of him, if he didn't already know, Chu Mu wouldn't have been able to confirm that there was a seal here. This seal was so real that it seemed to have merged with the surrounding environment, causing one to have a visual illusion.
Immediately, Chu Mu swung his sword. This sword did not have the slightest Sword Light. After swinging it, there was no obstruction at all, and there was no sound of cloth tearing.
However, only Chu Mu himself knew that the moment the sword was swung, the sword came into contact with an invisible force. This force wanted to block his sword, but Chu Mu's swordsmanship attainment was extremely high. This force was easily defeated by Chu Mu's sword, and the seal was immediately torn apart.
Chu Mu casually threw the sword back on the wooden shelf, and then he took a step forward. His whole body seemed to be swallowed up and disappeared.
At this moment, Zhong Liyang had just passed the second stage. He rushed out of the room and took a quick look. There was no one there.
"Hmph, as expected, that guy passed the first stage by luck. The second stage is the real test of swordsmanship. He won't be able to pass it so easily."
In fact, if Zhong Liyang knew that the guy he was talking about had not only passed the second stage before him, but had also passed the third stage and entered the seal, who knew how shocked he would be.
However, this was even more interesting. When he passed the third stage and entered the seal, how would he feel if he suddenly realized that the person who was supposed to appear after him, or even as an audience, had entered before him?
