(Thank you to the three swordsmen, "Wind on the Sword", "You Rou Shang", and "Primordial Pride" for their tips.
Chu Mu never knew that there was such a place in the Inner House.
It was like a large arena on Earth. The entire arena was circular, and in the middle was a hundred-meter-long, hundred-meter-wide arena.
The arena was made of pure white jade steel, and there was a strengthened seal on it. Even if a Qi Transformation Realm swordsman used all his strength, he would not be able to leave a mark on it.
On each of the four corners of the two-meter-tall arena, there was a ten-meter-tall giant sword. The swords had not been sharpened, and they were black in color. They looked heavy and domineering, and there was a sharp aura contained within them.
There was a ring at the tip of each sword, and two chains extended in different directions from the rings, connecting them to the other swords. They were filled with an ancient and vicissitudes of life, and seemed to have been around for a long time.
There was a row of wooden racks on each of the four sides of the arena, on which hung unsharpened swords. There was an empty space around the arena that was thirty meters wide, and beyond that, there were trapezoid-shaped seats. They were evenly divided into ten seats according to the Inner House Ten Academies. At this time, the students of the Inner House Ten Academies were all sitting on the trapezoid-shaped seats.
The first level of the trapezoid-shaped seats were for the headmasters and elders of the various academies.
The Sword Arts Is King Competition was a grand event that was held once every three years in the Inner House. It was very important, and the headmasters who were rarely seen would all appear.
Not to mention the headmasters of the ten academies, even the headmaster of the Inner House would appear. Of course, no one knew where the headmaster of the Inner House was watching.
In the Inner House Ten Academies, there were a hundred students from each academy participating in the Sword Arts Is King Competition. There were a total of a thousand students, and they were also separated according to their respective academies. However, their seats were a little special. They were in the last row, high up, and very obvious.
Qi Transformation Realm swordsmen had excellent eyesight. Even if they were a thousand meters away, they could still clearly see a flying fly. Therefore, they could also clearly see everything that was going on in the middle of the arena.
"Chu Mu, if it weren't for your guidance, I wouldn't have been able to participate in the Sword Arts Is King Competition." Liang Haishan said excitedly as he sat beside Chu Mu. this was one of his dreams, and he did not expect that it would come true. everyone present was shocked.
The people nearby were shocked when they heard this. Liang Haishan, who had obtained the qualifications for the finals, was taught by Chu Mu?
Did that mean that Chu Mu's sword Arts were much better than Liang Haishan's?
"Junior brother Chu, I knew my eyes weren't wrong. You really can participate in the Sword Technique King finals, and you're even called the number one dark horse of the tenth group." Zhuge Ming turned around and laughed at Chu Mu.
"I just don't know what rank I'll be able to obtain in the end." Chu Mu laughed and said casually.
"I believe in my eyes. Among the dark horses in the academy, you are the best," Zhuge Ming said.
When one's realm reached a certain level, there were many things that one simply wouldn't care about. For example, right now, Zhuge Ming's words came from his heart, and when Chu Mu heard this, he knew it was natural.
However, it sounded different in the ears of others. At the very least, many of the people from Astral-9 who had been crowned as the dark horse were extremely dissatisfied. They all looked at Chu Mu with hostility or hostility.
Chu Mu did not care about this.
Astral-9's number one dark horse?
No, he was the number one dark horse in the Inner Academy.
At that moment, Chu Mu's blood began to boil.
At that moment, a figure shot out from somewhere like an aurora, as if he had appeared out of thin air.
In a flash, this person appeared in the air above the arena. He was an old man who looked to be in his seventies. His face was flushed, and his tiger-like eyes glowed with a divine light.
He was the head judge of the Sword Art Is King Tournament.
Next, it was naturally an introduction to the Sword Arts King Competition and so on. Furthermore, there were also various motivational words attached to it. His voice seemed to contain a strange fluctuation, causing one to feel an irrepressible feeling of blood boiling as soon as they heard it, and arousing the battle intent in the bottom of their hearts.
After the opening speech, the head judge announced the rewards for the top 100 in the Sword Art Is King Tournament.
Everyone listened attentively, especially the one thousand students who would be participating in the finals. They were all extremely focused.
"The one hundredth place will receive 10,000 academic credits, 100 low-grade spirit stones, and a mid-grade sword. The ninety-ninth place will receive 20,000 academic credits, 200 low-grade spirit stones, and a mid-grade sword …" The head judge announced, starting from the one hundredth place.
10,000 academic credits might not be a lot, but it was not bad to be able to obtain such an amount by participating in the Sword Art Is King Tournament. Moreover, one would also receive 100 low-grade spirit stones and a mid-grade sword.
How much was a mid-grade sword worth?
It would cost at least 300,000 academic credits. In other words, as long as one could obtain the hundredth place, one would receive such a generous reward.
After that, the ninety-ninth place would receive 20,000 academic credits, 200 low-grade spirit stones, and a mid-grade sword.
The ninety-eighth place would receive 30,000 academic credits, 300 low-grade spirit stones, and a mid-grade sword.
If the one hundredth place's reward of 10,000 academic credits and 100 low-grade spirit stones was considered shabby, then the higher the ranking, the higher the reward, the more frightening it would be.
As for mid-grade swords, in fact, those who were able to enter the top 100 were basically students on the Bronze Sword Ranking. The swords each of them used were basically high-grade swords. A mid-grade sword was nothing in their eyes.
"I can definitely enter the top 100, but I don't know where I can place in the top 100 with my level of Sword Art Master Small Success." Chu Mu was confident, but he was not complacent. The entire Great Kun Dynasty's territory was greater than the country he was in on Earth. Moreover, the Sword Art was flourishing, and there were as many swordsmen as there were hairs on a cow.
Therefore, Chu Mu did not dare to say that there were no other Sword Art Masters in the Inner Mansion other than him.
"No matter what rank I can obtain in the end, the Sword Art Is King Tournament is a rare experience. Those who can enter the top 100 must have extraordinary attainments in Sword Art. Being able to fight with them will allow me to broaden my horizons. It will be of great help to the perfection of my Sword Art and the deduction of Zhen Tian's righteousness." Chu Mu secretly said. He was a little excited, but he quickly regained his composure. "Moreover, the second mid-grade sword can also be obtained from here."
The Windcutter Sword was exchanged for with five hundred thousand credits. If he could obtain another mid-grade sword in the Sword Art Is King Tournament, then he would be able to use the Dual Sword Art and balance the two swords. His overall strength would be even stronger.
"Increasing one rank will increase the reward by ten thousand credits and one hundred low-grade spirit stones. Then, if I obtain the fiftieth rank, will I be able to obtain five hundred ten thousand credits and five thousand one hundred low-grade spirit stones?" Someone beside him muttered absentmindedly.
No one laughed at him, because everyone else had also fallen into the same fantasy. Only eight people were able to remain calm. Zhuge Ming and the other six were able to remain calm because they had participated in the Sword Art Is King Tournament before. Therefore, it was not strange for Chu Mu to be able to remain calm.
"The eleventh place will obtain nine hundred thousand credits, nine thousand low-grade spirit stones, and a mid-grade sword." The head judge continued to announce. His voice paused and became louder than before. "Next, I will announce the rewards for the top ten."
Everyone's attention became even more focused. They stopped their fantasies because they knew that the main event was about to begin. Who knew how much better the rewards for the top ten would be compared to the rest?
"The tenth place will be rewarded with one million academic credits, ten thousand low-grade spirit stones, one hundred mid-grade spirit stones, one high-grade sword, and one ancient sword art." Many people began to discuss in low voices as the head judge's voice faded away.
"The tenth place's reward is actually so different from the eleventh place's."
"I'm too excited. If I can enter the top ten, I don't know how much I will get."
"Wake up. You don't even have the qualifications to participate in the Sword Art Is King Tournament."
"Get lost. I can't even fantasize about it."
"These rewards are the same as the previous tournament. There are no changes." Someone like Zhuge Ming, who was one of the top one hundred in the previous tournament, said secretly.
"The ninth place will obtain one million one hundred thousand credits, twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones, two hundred mid-grade spirit stones, one high-grade sword, and one ancient sword art." The head judge continued to announce.
"There is a difference of one place between the ninth place and the tenth place, but there is an additional one hundred thousand credits and ten thousand low-grade spirit stones. This … this … this is too shocking!"
Just like the previous one between the hundredth place and the ninety-ninth place, each increase in rank would only increase the reward by ten thousand credits and one hundred low-grade spirit stones. Compared to the rewards for the top ten, it was simply too weak.
Moreover, one mid-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for ten low-grade spirit stones. However, very few people were willing to exchange for it because the spiritual energy of a mid-grade spirit stone was many times purer than that of a low-grade spirit stone. It was more precious and harder to obtain. Unless it was a last resort, only a fool would be willing to exchange for it.
"The fourth place will obtain one million six hundred thousand credits, seventy thousand low-grade spirit stones, seven hundred mid-grade spirit stones, one high-grade sword, and one ancient sword art."
"Now, I will announce the rewards for the top three." The head judge announced in a clear voice.
The rewards for the top three were different from those for the rest of the rankings.
According to the previous tournaments, the rewards for the top three were so generous that it made people drool.
However, they didn't know if the rewards for the top three in this year's Sword Art Is the King Competition were the same as before, or if there were some adjustments.
They could only wait for the head judge to announce everything.
However, the head judge did not say anything. It was as if he was deliberately whetting everyone's appetite. Even many of the elders could not help but hold their breaths as they waited for the head judge's final announcement.
"The third place will obtain two million credits, one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones, one thousand mid-grade spirit stones, one supreme-grade sword, one ancient sword art, and one technique for exerting force."
"The second place will obtain three million credits, one hundred and fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones, one thousand and five hundred mid-grade spirit stones, one supreme-grade sword, one ancient sword art, one technique for exerting force, and ten Mortal Yang Pills."
If the rewards for the third and second place were so generous, then what about the first place? (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.)
