Fierce roars were incessant.
The students were completely boiling.
Dark horse, a super dark horse!
The title of the King of Swordsmanship was taken off from Huangfu Cangyue and fell into the hands of Chu Mu.
Chu Mu told everyone with his sword and swordsmanship that he was the real King of Swordsmanship, the well-deserved King of Swordsmanship.
The fastest sword speed, the strongest swordsmanship skills, the strongest attack, and the extremely strong defense that was not fully displayed. In all aspects, he surpassed Huangfu Cangyue.
The King of Swordsmanship, the King of Swordsmanship, should have these abilities.
At this moment, the domineering image left by Huangfu Cangyue in everyone's mind suddenly collapsed.
In the minds of the students, Chu Mu's omnipotent image in swordsmanship was deeply left.
After roaring and shouting for a full quarter of an hour, it gradually quieted down, because a vast pressure was descending from the sky.
Then, a figure appeared a hundred meters above the fighting ring. He seemed to be surrounded by countless halos and slowly fell.
It was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, but the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes showed the vicissitudes of life.
The middle-aged man was wearing a loose cyan robe, which swayed slightly like a feather when it fell. He looked like an immortal. On his face, there was a faint gentle smile, which made people feel like bathing in the spring breeze.
"Mansion Master."
The referees and the chief referee hurriedly got up and saluted the middle-aged man from a distance.
The heads and elders of the ten academies also hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"What?"
"Is he the Mansion Master of our inner mansion?"
The students were also extremely excited.
The Mansion Master had always been elusive. Except for the students on the Bronze Sword List, other students basically could not see him. Even if they met him on the road, they would not recognize him.
Because after the King of Swordsmanship Competition in the past, the Mansion Master would only say a few words and would not really appear. It could be said that this was the first time the Mansion Master appeared in public.
Huangfu Cangyue's expression turned cold. He had never enjoyed such treatment.
The Manor Lord landed on the Battle Sword Arena. His gaze swept across the arena before landing on Chu Mu.
A feeling of being seen through arose spontaneously.
"The king of swordsmanship, without a doubt," said the chief with a smile. His voice was gentle, like a gentle breeze drifting into everyone's ears.
The Manor Head did not speak much. He only said a few words about the Sword Art Is King Competition. The main point was to point out how unexpected Chu Mu was.
Before the King of Swordsmanship Competition began, the Mansion Master believed that the King of Swordsmanship would still be Huangfu Cangyue.
Unexpectedly, a supernova appeared out of nowhere, defeated Huangfu Cangyue, and took the crown of the King of Swordsmanship from Huangfu Cangyue.
The appearance of the Mansion Master was to give out the rewards.
Of course, all kinds of rewards could not be given out so easily. Think about it, the first place could get 200,000 Low-Grade Spiritual Stones. How could he bring out so many Low-Grade Spiritual Stones?
Therefore, the reward given by the Mansion Master was actually an honor. It was a small golden sword as thick as a finger. On one side of the small sword, the words "Chu Mu" were written, and on the other side, there were more words, such as the King of Swordsmanship Competition of the previous King of Swordsmanship Competition.
In the last competition, Huangfu Cangyue also won a small golden sword. At that time, it was awarded by the chief judge in person.
Being awarded by the chief judge in person and being awarded by the Mansion Master in person were two different concepts.
After awarding the golden sword, the symbol of the King of Swordsmanship, the Mansion Master said a few more words. Then he immediately flew up into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if he had never appeared.
Chu Mu was awestruck. He did not know what level the Mansion Master's cultivation had reached. He was so elusive and unfathomable.
After the Mansion Master left, the chief judge flew onto the Battle Sword Arena and made a closing speech about the final of the King of Swordsmanship Competition.
Then, the ten judges from the judging panel went onto the stage and announced the final rankings, starting from the thousandth place.
This time, Liang Haishan was ranked 838th. Although he did not enter the top 100 to receive the reward, this was still a great honor for him.
At the very least, his name would become famous. Everyone in Astral-9 would know of his existence, and even people from the other superacademies would know of his existence.
In the end, five of the Ten Rising Stars were ranked 101st to 105th, while the other five were all ranked within the top 100.
Among them, Yi Xuan was ranked 90th, Qi Shaofan was ranked 77th, Fang Lengyan was ranked 75th, Huangfu was ranked 72nd, and the leader of the Ten Rising Stars, Lei Hao, was ranked 63rd.
To be able to enter the top 100 in the King of Swordsmanship Competition for the first time was already very impressive. This had never happened in the past few competitions.
Moreover, he was ranked 63rd. Although he could not compare to the Supernova Chu Mu, Lei Hao's name would resound throughout the entire Inner Sanctum. It was believed that he would definitely become a target of recruitment for various organizations.
Finally, the head judge announced the top ten in the King of Swordsmanship Competition.
Tenth was Bu Jinglong!
Ninth was An Han!
Eighth was Fu She!
Seventh was Xiang Tianhe!
Sixth was Dongfang Gu!
Fifth was Huangfu Aoshuang!
Fourth was Jiang Yuhuan!
Third was Wan Pan!
Second was Huangfu Cangyue!
First was the King of Swordsmanship Competition, Supernova Chu Mu!
When the head judge announced the last name and title, the seventy thousand students went into an uproar again.
The others were all speechless. Their swordsmanship had improved a lot compared to three years ago, but this time, their ranking had dropped by one.
Especially An Han, who had been defeated by Fu She, which was equivalent to dropping by two places.
The drop in ranking was not only a matter of honor, but also related to the actual reward.
However, there was no other way. Chu Mu had appeared out of nowhere and defeated Huangfu Cangyue without using his full strength.
According to the head judge, the top hundred students had to go to the Hall of Hundred Affairs of their respective academies to comprehend the reward. As for the top ten, they did not need to do so. As long as they returned to the Sword Gauntlet, someone would deliver the reward to them the next day.
This year's King of Swordsmanship Competition had finally come to an end after nearly a month.
The students reluctantly left the arena. They actually wanted to continue watching and hoped that an even stronger opponent would appear to force Chu Mu to use his full strength.
Unfortunately, such a person was difficult to find, even in the King's Mansion.
Under the reverent gazes of countless people, Chu Mu left the arena and returned to his own Earth Level Sword Gauntlet in Astral-9.
Chu Mu had used up more than half of his strength in the battle with Huangfu Cangyue, so he needed to rest and recover to his peak state.
On the other hand, Chu Mu had also gained something from the battle with Huangfu Cangyue, so he needed to spend some time to calm down and reap the rewards.
During this time, after the students returned, they were still immersed in the King of Swordsmanship Competition, especially in the aftertaste of the final battle between the strongest. Therefore, no one came to disturb Chu Mu.
The next morning, the seal was triggered. When Chu Mu arrived in front of the seal, he saw a man standing outside. It was a middle-aged man in his thirties with a faint smile on his face.
The middle-aged man's clothes had the symbol of the Hall of Hundred Affairs, but they were not the uniform of a deacon.
"King of Swordsmanship, Chu Mu, I'm here to deliver your reward." When the middle-aged man saw Chu Mu appear, he immediately smiled and spoke in a gentle tone.
Chu Mu took out his identity sword token and opened a part of the seal to let the man in. However, he was a little puzzled, as the man seemed to have come empty-handed.
One had to know that the reward for first place was 200,000 low-grade spirit stones. How much was that?
Even his Middle-grade Space Wristband couldn't hold 200,000 Low-grade Spiritual Stones, let alone other things.
Could it be that this guy's spatial bracelet was …
Chu Mu's eyes unconsciously glanced at the man's wrist, but he could not see it because it was covered by the man's sleeve.
"Here it is." The man followed Chu Mu to the first floor of the Sword Tower and stopped. He smiled and waved his right hand. On the ground of the first floor of the Sword Tower, 20 huge red wooden boxes and one small dark red wooden box suddenly appeared.
Then, he took out a brown palm-sized gourd and handed it to Chu Mu. Chu Mu subconsciously took it, and a sword appeared in the man's hand.
This sword emitted a strong aura fluctuation, which was very strong and frightening.
"A superb sword!" Chu Mu's pupils contracted and he exclaimed in a low voice. A superb sword, only a superb sword could release such a strong aura fluctuation, which was frightening.
The middle-aged man smiled and handed the superb sword to Chu Mu. After Chu Mu took a few glances at it, he kept it in his spatial bracelet.
Then, two more things appeared in the middle-aged man's hand. They were two books and he handed them to Chu Mu.
Chu Mu took a look at the two books. One was an ancient swordsmanship, and the other was a technique of exerting force.
Finally, a small octagonal jade box appeared in the middle-aged man's hand. The jade box was sealed, and it seemed that there was something extraordinary inside.
Chu Mu's eyes suddenly widened, because he already knew what was inside the jade box. His breathing became rapid.
When he took the jade box, Chu Mu's hand trembled slightly. The thing inside made it difficult for him to keep calm.
"To be honest, the reward you got this time, even I am jealous." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Take out your identity sword token."
Chu Mu kept the jade box in his spatial bracelet and took out his identity sword token.
After the middle-aged man took it, he also took out his identity sword token. After the two sword tokens touched each other for three breaths, the middle-aged man returned the identity sword token to Chu Mu.
"Well, King of Swordsmanship Chu Mu, my task is completed." The middle-aged man smiled and turned to walk outside. "Help me open the seal."
Chu Mu also wanted to check his reward as soon as possible, so he immediately went out to send the middle-aged man away. (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.)
