The twelfth round of the tournament had ended.
After some calculations, there were a total of twelve contestants who had yet to be defeated.
Huangfu Cangyue, Wan Pan, Jiang Yuhuan, Huangfu Aoshuang, Dongfang Gu, Xiang Tianhe, An Han, Fu She, Bu Jinglong, Huangfu Jiannan, Chu Mu, and Lei Hao.
The students could understand why the top ten contestants were able to remain undefeated. On one hand, they were strong enough, and on the other hand, their battles had yet to begin.
Yet, Chu Mu and Lei Hao were able to win twelve matches in a row without losing. This caused the students to be incomparably shocked.
However, this did not mean that Chu Mu and Lei Hao were the two strongest contestants outside of the top ten contestants from the previous tournament. This was because the highest ranked opponent they had defeated so far was Zhu Tianzhao.
They had not fought against anyone who was ranked higher than Zhu Tianzhao, so it was hard to say who was stronger.
Following this, the students became excited. According to the normal process of the tournament, the twelve contestants who had yet to lose should be fighting soon.
As expected, the first match of the thirteenth round caused a huge commotion among the students.
"First match of the thirteenth round: Astral-9's Chu Mu versus …" This time, the referee deliberately only read out half of the name and did not mention the name of Chu Mu's opponent to keep them in suspense.
"Against who?"
"Hurry up and say it." The students began to clamor.
"Against … Astral-9's Lei Hao …" The referee's face was flushed red as he announced. His voice was extremely loud and dragged out, echoing throughout the entire arena.
In an instant, the entire arena fell silent. It was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
After about ten breaths of time, a huge roar rang out like a surging wave.
"Chu Mu versus Lei Hao!"
"These two are finally going to fight."
"The long-awaited battle is finally about to begin."
"Will the Supernova title ultimately belong to Chu Mu, or will it be taken by Lei Hao?"
"Hurry up and start. I can't wait any longer."
From the reactions of the students, it was easy to see how popular Chu Mu and Lei Hao were.
"Haha, I've been waiting for this moment for a long time." Lei Hao abruptly stood up, and a powerful and sharp aura burst out from his body, surging in all directions.
His eyes were fixed on Chu Mu, and traces of battle intent almost overflowed from his eyes.
"I'll wait for you on the stage." After saying this, Lei Hao transformed into a bolt of lightning, passing through the crowd and heading towards the Sword Battle Arena.
Chu Mu stood up with a slight smile hanging on the corners of his mouth. He executed his movement technique and was like a gust of wind that blew towards the arena.
Both sides picked their swords and appeared on the arena, facing each other from ten meters away.
Although Lei Hao was unable to use his innate sword Qi and mentality on the stage due to the seal, he still overflowed with a powerful aura that was filled with battle intent.
"Ever since I saw your first match, I had a desire to fight you. It grew stronger and stronger. Now, I finally have the chance." Lei Hao waved his right arm and a strong wind whistled. His sword danced and pointed straight at Chu Mu, his fighting intent threatening.
"I'm very curious about your technique of exerting strength." Chu Mu faintly smiled and said.
"Don't worry, as long as you're strong enough, I'll use it." Lei Hao laughed and suddenly rushed out, leaping into the air and slashing out with his sword. Decisive, sharp, and accurate.
Chu Mu raised his sword, and the two swords collided. Clang! Clang! Sparks flew in all directions. Lei Hao's right arm was waving rapidly in the air, and one sword after another was as fast as lightning, stabbing towards Chu Mu.
Chu Mu shifted his feet, and his figure flickered, dodging Lei Hao's sword. Then, he slashed his sword diagonally, sealing Lei Hao's movements, and Lei Hao fell to the ground.
"Chop!" With a loud shout, Lei Hao was like a ferocious tiger coming down from the mountains. His sword was strong and ferocious, as if it could split a mountain.
However, Chu Mu shifted his feet, causing Lei Hao's sword to miss. Then, he appeared beside Lei Hao and slashed his sword horizontally.
"So fast!"
"Brilliant."
The students clenched their fists in excitement. They didn't expect Chu Mu and Lei Hao to be so sharp, decisive, and ferocious. Their emotions were stirred up immediately.
Chu Mu had never been afraid of competing in sword arts.
Lei Hao kept attacking, but Chu Mu kept counterattacking. This feeling made him feel very uncomfortable, and he couldn't unleash his full potential.
As the person involved, Lei Hao finally understood the feeling of those who fought with Chu Mu. They had power, but they couldn't use it.
"Open!" With a loud shout, Lei Hao slashed out with his sword, but he took a step back. Then, he suddenly retracted his sword, and after accumulating power, he stabbed out fiercely, shocking the wind and thunder.
It was like a strong bow that was pulled to the limit, shooting out an arrow that could pierce through the sun and moon.
Chu Mu blocked this sword, and his feet didn't move an inch. He used the Force Dissipation Technique to disperse the powerful collision force.
Shocked, Lei Hao grasped the momentary opportunity and launched sword after sword attacks, like a torrential downpour. In front of Chu Mu's eyes, there was only a dense expanse of sword light mixed with sword shadows. It was endless, as fast as thunder and as fast as lightning. Every sword brought with it a powerful force that could shatter mountains.
"It's starting again." The students sat up straight, staring with wide eyes.
"From the beginning of the competition until now, as long as Lei Hao launched his attacks and grasped the rhythm, no one could counterattack. It wouldn't take long for them to be defeated. I wonder if Chu Mu can withstand Lei Hao's attacks this time? "
"I don't think so, but Chu Mu's ability to find flaws is better than Fang Lengyan's. Maybe he can find a flaw in Lei Hao's attacks and counterattack."
Carefree and unrestrained, this was what Lei Hao was feeling right now. His characteristics were similar to Xiang Tianhe's, and their styles were also similar. They were both the type to attack continuously.
However, Xiang Tianhe's continuous attacks were like a long river, without any gaps, while Lei Hao's continuous attacks were like a torrential storm, densely packed with explosive power.
If one wanted to say who was better, it would depend on their skills.
Facing Lei Hao's thunderous attacks, Chu Mu didn't retreat a single step. His expression didn't change at all.
Lei Hao slashed out with his sword, and Chu Mu didn't dodge, blocking the sword.
Ear-piercing clanging sounds continued, and sparks flew everywhere. Because of inertia, all of them enveloped Chu Mu, splashing around Chu Mu's body. It was a beautiful sight.
No matter how fierce Lei Hao's attacks were, Chu Mu was always able to block, and his sword didn't miss. He didn't even retreat a single step, and his expression didn't change.
"What's going on? Why do I feel that Chu Mu isn't under much pressure? "
"Could it be that Lei Hao is going easy on him?"
"Impossible, Lei Hao has no reason to go easy on him. Look at his attacks, they're so fierce, how could he be going easy on him?"
"Then what's going on? Why is Chu Mu acting like nothing happened? "
"Unbelievable … unbelievable, Chu Mu has been blocking Lei Hao's sword for half a quarter of an hour. His previous opponents didn't even last half a quarter of an hour before being defeated, but Chu Mu doesn't show any signs of being defeated."
Even Lei Hao himself felt that it was inconceivable. This was the first time he met an opponent who could withstand his violent attacks for half a quarter of an hour without showing any signs of being defeated. Immediately, he became even more excited.
With a low roar, the muscles on Lei Hao's right arm seemed to swell up, and the veins in his sleeves bulged. His strength was even more violent.
In fact, Chu Mu wasn't as relaxed as he looked on the surface. Lei Hao's physique was abnormal, and his speed and strength were extraordinary. When the two were combined, the explosive power of the attack was terrifying.
If it was just a normal block, he definitely wouldn't be able to hold on for such a long time. The reason why he was able to hold on was entirely because of his power dissipation technique, which dissipated at least half of the power of Lei Hao's attack.
"Good!" Lei Hao couldn't break through after attacking for a long time. Suddenly, he stopped, took a deep breath, and attacked again.
In that instant, Chu Mu didn't counterattack. He had his own plans.
Lei Hao attacked again, and this time, he even used the power dissipation technique that he had mastered, and stabbed his sword.
Chu Mu blocked with his sword, and suddenly felt a strange power explode from the tip of Lei Hao's sword. Although it wasn't very strong, it made his sword tremble slightly, and it passed through the sword to his palm.
"This is the power dissipation technique that Lei Hao has mastered." Chu Mu's eyes lit up, and he secretly said to himself. He used the power dissipation technique to dissipate this power.
Lei Hao continued to attack, and every time he used this power dissipation technique, Chu Mu blocked with his sword, and each time, he could feel the power of this power dissipation technique more clearly than the last.
After more than twenty sword strikes, Lei Hao's face was pale, and sweat appeared on his forehead. Obviously, this kind of power dissipation technique was also a burden on his body.
After continuously blocking more than twenty sword strikes, Chu Mu also felt that his palm was a little numb from the vibrations. If he didn't use the power dissipation technique to dissipate most of the power, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to block more than three or four sword strikes.
"Could it be that Chu Mu is also a monster?"
The students were all dumbfounded, and they finally came to a conclusion. Chu Mu was the same as Lei Hao, and was also a monster.
Otherwise, if it were an ordinary person, how could they withstand Lei Hao's attacks for nearly fifteen minutes?
Another sword strike came, and the power of the explosion was even stronger than before. Chu Mu's sword almost flew out of his hand, and he had to use the Zhen Tian Style's vibration technique to dissipate the explosive power.
This was the first time he used the Zhen Tian Style's technique in the competition, but he only used it slightly, and no one could see it.
"He can use the confusing Sword Light similar to Qi Shaofan's, and has a stronger ability to find flaws than Fang Lengyan. He can even compete with a senior student like Zhu Tianzhao, who is skilled in swordsmanship, and win in the end. Furthermore, the speed of his sword strikes is astonishing. Now, he has displayed a monstrous physique and an impenetrable defense. Could it be that Chu Mu's swordsmanship is all-rounded?"
"Although he has displayed his attacks before, the strength of his attacks is still lacking compared to the other aspects. Perhaps attacking wasn't his strong suit in the first place."
"No matter what, up until now, Chu Mu has displayed various aspects. Anyone who grasps one aspect can be crowned with the title of 'New Star', but he has actually grasped several aspects by himself."
"It is because of this that Chu Mu was crowned with the title of 'New Star'. He truly deserves it." If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation. "
