"In addition to the degree of comprehension, the strength of the Sword Momentum is directly related to one's spirit, will, and comprehension of the sword. Chu Mu's Sword Momentum and Lyu Wenjian's Sword Momentum are both at the Small Success Level, but Chu Mu can easily defeat Lyu Wenjian's Sword Momentum. It shows that Chu Mu's spirit, will, and comprehension of the sword are better than Lyu Wenjian's."
"Unfathomable attainments in swordsmanship, terrifying means of using two swords at the same time, and superior Sword Momentum. This Chu Mu is really frightening. Once his cultivation improves and his comprehension of the essence deepens, he will surpass Huangfu Cangyue in the past. "
"Haha, the more outstanding and powerful Chu Mu is, the more beneficial it is for our Sword Mansion. I hope he can grow up as soon as possible. Next time, we must let the Great Qian Sword Mansion know how powerful we are and get rid of the shadow of many years."
The elders of the various courtyards discussed with each other through Sword Qi.
Lyu Wenjian's face was pale and he looked shocked. He picked up his upper-grade sword and looked deeply at Chu Mu. After saluting with his sword, he turned and walked down the arena. His back was a little lonely.
Lyu Wenjian had done some research on Chu Mu. He knew that although Chu Mu's cultivation was at the peak of the Qi Transforming Dacheng, he had entered the Inner Mansion for less than a year.
He felt that even if Chu Mu had comprehended the Sword Momentum before breaking through to the Qi Transforming Realm, the total time was not long enough. His comprehension was definitely not as profound as Lyu Wenjian's. Lyu Wenjian wanted to defeat Chu Mu directly with the Sword Momentum.
He did not expect that he would be defeated in the end. Perhaps he would not be defeated by the Sword Momentum. If it was a normal battle, he might have won.
There was no medicine for regret in the world. Lv Wenjian was only thinking about it. He did not feel too upset. Even if he lost the chance to be ranked on the Bronze Sword Ranking, he could still challenge the members of the Bronze Sword Ranking. As long as he defeated them, he could still be ranked on the Bronze Sword Ranking.
Chu Mu also returned to the candidate seating area and sat down. Because he had used the Blood Evil Stone to temper his will, this prison-breaking strike had consumed 30% of his essence, energy, and spirit.
Although the 30% consumption made Chu Mu feel empty, it was still better than fighting hard. Even if he could win in the end, he would be exhausted.
After Chu Mu's match, the tenth match began. Number 10 fought against number 11. In the end, number 11 defeated number 10 and successfully advanced to the next round.
As usual, they rested for fifteen minutes. During this period of time, Chu Mu seized the opportunity to recover his energy.
Forty people were eliminated in the first round, another twenty were eliminated in the second round, and another ten were eliminated in the third round. Only ten candidates were left in the fourth round.
This time, Chu Mu had drawn number three. This meant that his match would be arranged in the third match.
Because the numbers were not announced, the candidates did not know the numbers of others other than their own. They had no way of knowing who their opponent would be.
"The first match of the fourth round: Number 1 against Number 10." As the referee finished speaking, the fourth round officially began.
Basically, in this round, some candidates could no longer hide their strength. Otherwise, they would be defeated.
Therefore, in the match between Number 1 and Number 10, both sides used their sword moves. It could be said that they had used all their trump cards. Number 1 was better, so it was not easy for him to defeat Number 10.
In the second battle of the fourth round, Number Two versus Number Nine. In this battle, the strength that Number Nine displayed was shocking. Without using sword force, she defeated Number Two, who had used sword force, with only an ancient sword technique, which made people raise their eyebrows.
"The third match of the fourth round: Number 3 against Number 8."
Two people in the candidate seating area stood up at the same time and looked at each other.
Number 8 was dazed at first, but then he showed a confident smile because his opponent was Chu Mu.
"It's Chu Mu's turn again." The students seemed to be excited all of a sudden.
"I feel like I came here specifically to watch Chu Mu's match."
"Yeah. At first, I thought that Chu Mu would be eliminated in the first round. I did not expect him to exceed my expectations again and again. He actually made it to the fourth round. Now, I am most interested in Chu Mu's match. I don't know if he can win in the end."
"I think it will be difficult."
"I think so too. Although I really want Chu Mu to win in the end, I have to respect the fact."
"In the three matches, you haven't used a concept or an ancient sword technique. Could it be that there's some reason you can't use a concept?" on the Sword Fighting Stage, Number Eight stared at Chu Mu playfully and laughed.
"I will use it when I need to." Chu Mu did not change his expression and answered lightly.
"Is that so? I am afraid that you really can't use your mentality for some reason. " Number 8 sneered as he became more and more certain. He was not stupid enough to think that Chu Mu could not comprehend his mentality. That was almost impossible. "Your sword arts are very powerful. I don't think I am your opponent. Plus, you are very good at close combat. But, I have bad news for you. Close combat is not my specialty. On the contrary, I am better at long-range attacks. Therefore, meeting me will be your tragedy. "
After Number 8 finished, he did not give Chu Mu a chance to talk back. He pulled out his sword and a golden sword light shot out. Then, as he waved his sword, three golden sword Qi shot out in a triangular shape.
The golden Innate Gold Sword Qi was condensed with a trace of Gold Concept. The speed was not particularly fast, but each of them was extremely sharp. Chu Mu did not want to take them head-on. With a flash, he dodged the attacks of the three Sword Qi.
"Haha, I will not let you get close." Number 8 was very observant. Not only did he know that Chu Mu was good at close combat, but he also knew that Chu Mu was going to use the opportunity of dodging to get close to him. He kept moving his feet and did not let Chu Mu get close. The sword in his hand was slashing out again and again.
He had been in the peak of the Qi Transforming Realm for more than a year. Although he had not reached the peak, his sword Qi was shockingly powerful. Moreover, he had comprehended fifty percent of his gold mentality. Therefore, releasing sword Qi like this did not burden him much.
Number 8 believed that he could defeat Chu Mu before his sword Qi ran out.
As for the recovery of sword Qi, the spirit Qi inside the arena was many times more abundant than outside. As long as he spent some time recovering, it would not be a problem at all.
The sword Qi released by Number 8 was very skillful. It was different from the others.
Beams of golden sword Qi shot out. Each of them was not very fast, and the frequency was not very high. However, they were able to block Chu Mu's advance, so Chu Mu could only dodge again and again.
Moreover, sometimes one or two sword Qi would suddenly accelerate and shoot out, just in the direction of Chu Mu's dodging route. Chu Mu had to change his footwork again or release sword Qi to resist.
"This student is very observant." The two referees looked at each other and said secretly.
In terms of the power of sword Qi, Chu Mu, who had cultivated to the seventh revolution of the Nine Revolutions of Sky Origin, was not inferior to the ordinary peak of the Qi Transforming Realm. In terms of purity, he was not inferior either.
However, because he could not use his mentality, Chu Mu's sword Qi was not a match for Number 8's sword Qi at all. It was defeated in an instant. However, it still played a role in blocking the sword Qi, allowing him to dodge more easily.
Although he could not get close to Number 8 for a while, Chu Mu was not discouraged. His face was calm, without the slightest anxiety.
Number 8 was like a machine gun, continuously waving his upper grade sword. Beams of golden sword Qi flew out one after another. Sometimes they were three beams, sometimes they were in the shape of a letter, sometimes they were in the shape of a letter, sometimes they were in the shape of a letter, sometimes they were in the shape of a letter, sometimes they were in the shape of a letter.
Seeing Chu Mu constantly dodging, Number 8's eyes flashed with excitement. He felt like a hunter, and his opponent was the prey.
"Could it be that Chu Mu really can't use his mentality? Otherwise, why won't he take it out? "
"Could it be that he hasn't comprehended any mentality at all?"
"Impossible. How could he not have comprehended any mentality? According to the information I heard, he seems to have comprehended two kinds of mentality."
"I don't understand. At this point, why hasn't he used his mentality?"
"Maybe he's trying to challenge his limits." There was a hint of mockery in this sentence.
Chu Mu knew himself well. It was not that he wanted to challenge his own limit, but that he really could not use his mentality. Otherwise, he would have used it long ago.
However, sometimes fortune and misfortune came hand in hand. If it were not for the fact that he could not use his mentality, Chu Mu would not have known that he could defeat some opponents who were more powerful than him by relying on his sword arts and sword Qi.
Number 8 seemed to be getting more and more excited. He held his sword with both hands and slashed horizontally from left to right. The golden upper grade sword was incomparably sharp, as if it was cutting the space in front of it like a cake, leaving a golden trace that was as bright as a needle.
All of a sudden, a dazzling golden sword Qi appeared. It was extremely condensed and was more than ten meters long. It was like a line between the sky and the water, flying towards Chu Mu.
From far away, Chu Mu could feel that the golden mentality contained in this sword Qi was several times stronger than the previous ones. Its power was extremely terrifying, and he could not resist it directly. Moreover, this sword Qi was even faster.
Chu Mu used the Phantom Steps. Layers of phantoms overlapped and intertwined. Chu Mu quickly dodged. The phantoms were destroyed in an instant. The edge of the golden sword Qi brushed past Chu Mu's protective sword Qi and was cut open in an instant. It was no different from tofu, which made Chu Mu's heart turn cold.
If he had been hit directly, his body would have been cut open in an instant.
Just as he stood still, he caught a glimpse of the second golden sword Qi flying towards him from the corner of his eye. Immediately after the second sword Qi, there was a third.
The second and third sword Qi were the same as the first, more than ten meters long. Moreover, the second and the third sword Qi were staggered, covering a range of nearly thirty meters.
In a situation where he could not use his mentality, Chu Mu could not dodge in an instant even if he used the Wind Walk or the Phantom Steps. As for the Fleeting Wind Shadow, it was only a high-level movement skill and could not keep up.
In a flash, while Chu Mu was startled, the two golden sword Qi's mentality slashed towards him. The two referees' hearts also rose. As long as Chu Mu showed signs of being unable to dodge or resist, they would immediately make their move. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
