There were only five nominees left in the fifth round. If it was a one-on-one battle, it meant that one of the five would not have to fight in the fifth round and would go straight to the sixth round.
During the fifteen minute break, the two judges discussed with sword auras on the arena and finally came to a consensus.
"Candidates, there are only five left in the fifth round. If we follow the previous rules, one person will advance in the fifth and sixth rounds. This is unfair to the other candidates." One of the judges said, "So, after our discussion, we have decided to change the rules of the fifth round. The fifth round will be the last round. It will be a five-person battle royale."
"Five-person battle royale?" Everyone heard this and looked at each other.
"That's right. The five remaining nominees will fight together on the battle stage. During the battle, they can admit defeat. The last person will be the final winner and obtain a place on the Bronze Sword List," the second judge explained with a smile.
"It's a free-for-all …" The remaining five nominees looked at the others and felt excited for no reason. This was indeed a rare way to compete.
"I agree," the first nominee stood up and said.
"I agree too."
"I have no objections."
"I like this method."
Chu Mu did not speak. He just nodded in agreement.
Since the five nominees agreed, the final battle royale was decided. The students were very excited.
"A battle royale. I like it the most."
"Exciting. It will be very exciting."
They all looked as if they wanted to see the world in chaos and discussed excitedly.
Soon, the break time was over and the five nominees walked onto the arena.
"Before the competition starts, I want to say something. If you really can't do it, don't force yourself. There is more than one way to get a place on the Bronze Sword List," a judge said.
"Yes, even if you lose this time, you still have a chance to challenge others," another judge said with a smile.
The five nominees were distributed in five different areas of the arena.
The arena was big enough that it would not be crowded even if the five of them fought in a battle royale.
After the candidates took their positions, they didn't immediately attack. Instead, they observed the other four candidates because the other four could be their opponents.
Before the battle even began, the atmosphere of hostility had already begun to spread. The seal was unable to isolate the students, and all of them stopped their discussions, held their breaths, and focused on watching.
Chu Mu observed his four opponents and quickly replayed their previous matches in his mind.
Among these four opponents, the first one in Chu Mu's mind should be the one on the right in front of him. His name was Zhuang Lie, and he had comprehended the Fire Mentality. His comprehension should be around fifty-two to thirty three percent. His Ancient Sword Art was also of the Fire Element. No matter if it was close combat or long range attack, it was quite good.
The second one on the left was called Fei Yuanhe. He had comprehended the concept of water, and his comprehension should be around fifty-two percent. His Ancient Sword Art was also in the Human Tier of Water Element. When he performed his sword art, it was like a long river flowing endlessly. His endurance was very outstanding.
As for the other two, the one on the right was called Fang Zhen. He had comprehended the Earth Mentality, and his comprehension should be around fifty-one to fifty-one percent. He cultivated the Earth Element Ancient Sword Art, which was good at defense. When he performed his sword art, it was like an indestructible rock.
The one on the left in front was called Zheng Feiqing. He had comprehended the concept of wind, and his comprehension level was between 50% and 51%. He cultivated a wind type human rank ancient sword technique, which happened to be the Hurricane Sword Technique that Chu Mu knew of.
Zheng Feiqing was the first opponent that Chu Mu defeated because he cultivated the Wind Element Sword Art.
Regarding the Wind Element Sword Art, Chu Mu must be more familiar with it than the others. It would naturally be easier for him to deal with Zheng Feiqing.
Suddenly, Zheng Feiqing moved. He pulled out his sword and slashed out two sword Qi that contained the Wind Mentality. One slashed towards Zhuang Lie on his left, and the other slashed towards Fei Yuanhe on his right.
Zheng Feiqing was like a fuse. As soon as he pulled out his sword, the other people also pulled out their swords and slashed out sword Qi one after another.
Suddenly, the entire battle arena was filled with sword Qi of different colors that emitted different auras, crisscrossing.
Chu Mu also tried to integrate a trace of the Tearing Mentality into the Tianyuan Sword Qi and slashed out. In an instant, it collided with a sword Qi and directly shattered that sword Qi.
After the collision, Chu Mu had consumed more than half of his sword Qi and half of the Tearing Mentality attached to it. However, it was still very powerful and slashed towards Zheng Feiqing, which made Zheng Feiqing's expression change.
They had all seen Chu Mu's last battle and knew that Chu Mu's mentality was very powerful. They were all very vigilant.
"It is indeed very powerful. Unfortunately, my Tearing Mentality is only at twenty-five percent. Although it is powerful, it is still too little. After the battle, I will have to take the Mind Refining Pill to increase my Tearing Mentality." Chu Mu said to himself as he mobilized the Tearing Mentality. He performed the Sweeping Wind Shadow and rushed towards Zheng Feiqing.
He thrust out his sword and performed the first move of the Shocking Wind Sword Art: Shocking Wind Movement.
A wind blew and whistled. It condensed into a sword and slashed towards Zheng Feiqing in an instant, which made Zheng Feiqing jump in fright.
The power of this sword was not only out of Zheng Feiqing's expectation, but it was also out of Chu Mu's expectation. The Tearing Mentality could actually be applied to the Shocking Wind Sword Art.
Perhaps because the Tearing Mentality was formed by the Tearing Mentality absorbing part of the Wind Mentality, it had some characteristics of the Wind Mentality. It was somewhat similar to a mutated mentality of the Wind Mentality.
Although the Tearing Mentality was only at twenty-five percent, it had the strength of fifty-five percent of the Wind Mentality. There was no hindrance in performing the Shocking Wind Sword Art.
The Shocking Wind Movement sword was equivalent to the activation of fifty-five percent of the Wind Mentality. It also had a sharpness that was even more terrifying than the Metal Mentality.
Zheng Feiqing felt that the air in front of him was directly torn apart. Even his protective sword Qi could not resist that sharpness.
Performing his movement skill, Zheng Feiqing's figure flashed and three phantoms appeared.
The two phantoms were instantly torn apart by the Shocking Wind Movement sword. Zheng Feiqing's real body was also slightly affected. His protective sword Qi was as weak as tofu and was directly torn apart.
Otherwise, if he had dodged in time, this sword would have severely injured him and eliminated him.
With lingering fear, Zheng Feiqing was in awe of Chu Mu. He did not fight back at all. Instead, he performed his movement skill again and quickly rushed towards the others.
At the same time, Fei Yuanhe performed his ancient sword art, the Endless Flow. It was like the water of a river rushing towards Chu Mu. The fifty-five percent of the Water Mentality was integrated into it, which made this sword move continuous and contained a flexible power.
The Endless Flow sword pierced towards Chu Mu. Chu Mu turned around and performed a Shocking Wind Movement sword move.
The Shocking Wind Movement under the Tearing Mentality was extremely powerful. That horrifying wind condensed into a sword and was extremely violent. It tore apart the Endless Flow sword and slashed towards Fei Yuanhe.
Fei Yuanhe was shocked. He hurriedly changed his sword movement. The ancient sword art's torrential current was like an intense stream rushing around his body. Layers of waves formed an extremely good defense.
After tearing apart the torrential current, Chu Mu had already used up all of his power. He shook his wrist and performed the Shocking Wind Movement.
Fei Yuanhe did not have enough time to change his attack. He was immediately hit by Chu Mu's sword. His protective sword Qi was torn apart. Under that horrifying power, his whole body was blown away. He bumped into the seal and created many ripples. There was an obvious wound on his chest with blood gushing out.
A strand of Heaven Yuan Sword Qi with a trace of the Tearing Mentality crazily drilled into Fei Yuanhe's body. Fei Yuanhe's expression changed drastically as he hurriedly admitted defeat. He knew that if he did not expel this horrifying mentality power as soon as possible, he would be severely injured.
As for that strand of sword Qi, although it was powerful, he did not care about it.
"Someone admitted defeat."
"One eliminated. There are four left."
"Chu Mu is so powerful. One sword move and he eliminated one. With a few more sword moves, he would eliminate all of them and become the final winner."
"It's not that simple."
Fang Zhen's Earth Element Ancient Sword Art was very powerful and had its own unique defense. Although Zhuang Lie's mentality was more profound than Fang Zhen's, he was still unable to break through Fang Zhen's defense after a few sword attacks.
Zheng Feiqing arrived. He performed the Hurricane Sword Art's Hurricane Roar, which created a horrifying roar. It was like a tornado that rolled towards Zhuang Lie.
Zhuang Lie hurriedly performed the Volcano Sword Art's Magma Eruption to counterattack, shattering the Hurricane Roar. Fang Zhen took the opportunity to switch from defense to offense. He performed the Iron Cliff Sword Art's Iron Cliff Break, which was like a meteor flying towards Fang Zhen.
Chu Mu arrived. His Shocking Wind Movement attacked Fang Zhen with his Shocking Wind Movement.
It was a chaotic battle, a true chaotic battle. One attacking one attacking the other. Only Chu Mu was not attacked.
Zhuang Lie's expression changed drastically. He did not counterattack. Instead, he hurriedly performed his movement art, exploding with a horrifying power as he retreated like a comet. Fang Zhen lost his target and was attacked by Chu Mu. He hurriedly switched from offense to defense. He performed the Iron Cliff Sword Art's Iron Cliff Immovable to block Chu Mu's Shocking Wind Movement.
The Ripping Mentality was extremely horrifying. It actually tore the Iron Cliff Immovable in half, which shocked Fang Zhen greatly.
Zheng Feiqing took the opportunity and slashed out his sword. Three streams of Wind Sword Qi containing the Wind Mentality flew towards Chu Mu.
Chu Mu swung his sword and shattered all three streams of Sword Qi. The tip of his sword trembled and a thin stream of Sky Origin Sword Qi containing the Ripping Mentality shot towards Zheng Feiqing.
Zheng Feiqing did not have the time to dodge. He hurriedly used his sword to block. Under the horrifying vibration, the Xiantian Sword Qi on his sword dissipated. His whole body was blown back, and his upper rank sword almost flew out of his hand.
"This Chu Mu's mentality is too horrifying. Let's work together." Zheng Feiqing hurriedly transmitted his Sword Qi to Zhuang Lie and then to Fang Zhen.
"Alright, let's work together and defeat Chu Mu first. Then, we'll decide who's better." Fang Zhen agreed without thinking. Chu Mu's attack power was too strong. Even his Iron Cliff Immovable was almost torn apart.
Zhuang Lie thought for a moment and also agreed. He felt that this would be more beneficial for him. The three of them formed a temporary alliance in the dark, and Chu Mu did not even know that they had formed a temporary alliance … If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
