(This chapter was added to thank "Zhang Liping" for her 5888 points reward for becoming the third Helm Master of this book.)
After entering the Sword Comprehension Room for the first time, Chu Mu spent almost all of his time there.
First place in the Swordsmanship Is the King competition had given Chu Mu 5,000,000 credits, which was enough for him to stay in the Sword Comprehension Room for 500 hours. Although he had given 50,000 of the 200,000 low-grade spirit stones to the family head, Chu Mu still had 150,000 left, which was enough for him to stay in the room for 1,500 hours.
Even if he used up all of his credits, Chu Mu still had 100,000 low-grade spirit stones left.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. On this day, Chu Mu's Tearing Concept had finally made a breakthrough, going from 25% to 26%. This 10% improvement made Chu Mu feel that it was not easy.
Fortunately, he was in the Sword Comprehension Room. Although it only had 20% of the effects of the Cultivation Sacred Grounds, the Sword Comprehension Room had the same characteristics as the Cultivation Sacred Grounds. The higher one's comprehension ability was, the greater the increase.
For someone like Chu Mu, whose comprehension ability could be considered monstrous, three days was more than a month's worth of comprehension.
From this, it could be seen how difficult it was to increase one's comprehension of the Tearing Concept.
After three days, Chu Mu had spent 16 hours a day to achieve this result.
"16 hours a day, 3 days, 24 hours. I've used up 240,000 credits and 2,400 low-grade spirit stones." Chu Mu walked out of the Sword Comprehension Room and headed towards Astral-9 as he silently calculated, "The consumption of low-grade spirit stones is not that high, but the consumption of credits is very fast. I'm afraid that the remaining 4,000,000 credits won't last much longer.
"It seems like I have to find a way to earn more credits before the 4,000,000 credits are used up."
As he pondered, Chu Mu walked and walked. He lifted his head and saw the Hidden Technique Tower a few thousand meters away. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. He remembered the competition a few days ago and the Fire Dance Vast Sky secret technique Zhuang Lie used.
"Flight Secret Technique. Perhaps I should go to the Scripture Pavilion to take a look at this kind of Flight Secret Technique. When necessary, the Flight Secret Technique will be of great use."
With this thought in mind, Chu Mu turned around and quickly headed towards the Scripture Pavilion.
Ignoring the first and second floors, Chu Mu went straight to the third floor to search for the secret technique section. After looking around, he found a total of two flying-type secret techniques.
Shaking his head, Chu Mu wasn't satisfied with these two flight type secret techniques. Although these two flight type secret techniques allowed the user to fly in the sky, their drawbacks were obvious. One was that they weren't fast enough, and the other was that they consumed too much energy.
"Let's take a look at the fourth floor."
He went straight to the fourth floor, and without stopping to rest, he went to the secret technique area and quickly searched for it.
"Dancing Fire in the Sky: Secret flying technique. Requires a swordsman who cultivates fire-elemental Innate Sword Qi to learn … Can be exchanged for 700,000 credits."
Although he already knew that the value of a flight secret technique was higher than other secret techniques, and that the two flight secret techniques on the third floor cost a hundred to two hundred thousand academic credits to exchange, the cost of this Dancing Fire Vast Sky was simply too high.
700,000!
Dancing Fire in the Sky was indeed very fast. Chu Mu had already seen this from Zhuang Lie. Unfortunately, Dancing Fire in the Sky required a swordsman who cultivated fire-elemental Innate Sword Qi. Chu Mu clearly wasn't suitable.
He gave up and searched for other flight secret techniques.
As he searched, Chu Mu found a total of three flight secret techniques, including Dancing Fire in the Sky.
Aside from Dancing Fire in the Sky, the other two required 800,000 academic credits, while the other required 1,000,000 academic credits.
The higher the number of credits needed to be exchanged, the better the flying secret technique was. However, the eight hundred thousand credit flying secret technique would affect a person's temperament to a certain extent. This was something Chu Mu didn't want to do.
As for the 1,000,000 academic credits flight secret technique, it was said to have a total of five levels. However, only the first three levels were here.
"Just the first three levels are worth 1,000,000 academic credits. This flight secret technique is really terrifying. I'll choose this one. Even if I don't have the luck to find the last two levels, just the fact that the first three levels are worth more than the other two is enough to show that it's stronger than the other two," Chu Mu thought to himself and quickly took out his identity sword token.
This time, there was no Qi Shaofan to compete with him like last time in the Sword Tool Pavilion.
Pressing the identity sword token on the seal, the academic credits were deducted, and the seal disappeared. Chu Mu took the flight secret technique in his hand.
After checking his identity sword token, he found that 700,000 academic credits had been deducted instead of 1,000,000. Only then did Chu Mu remember that this was one of the benefits of being a member of the Bronze Sword List.
"Not bad. 300,000 academic credits are equivalent to 60 hours in the Sword Comprehension Room." Secretly smiling, his gaze fell on the book in his hand.
This was an ancient book. The yellowish-brown cover was a little rough, but it gave people an extremely good feeling. On top of it, there were four large words written in calligraphy that seemed as if they were about to soar into the sky.
"Sky Traversing. What a domineering name." Secretly smiling, Chu Mu didn't open it. He directly put the book into his space bracelet and turned to walk down the stairs.
"Should I go to the Sword Tool Pavilion and exchange for two high-grade swords?" Chu Mu thought to himself. After three breaths, he rejected the idea. "Two high-grade swords, even at 70%, would be worth at least 1,000,000. With 1,000,000 academic credits, I can spend 100 hours in the Sword Comprehension Room. It's better to use the academic credits on comprehending the concept first. Once the concept is improved, my strength will definitely be stronger."
After obtaining the flying secret technique Sky Traversing Technique, Chu Mu's daily training had an additional task.
Sword Qi cultivation, swordsmanship comprehension, concept comprehension, sword momentum comprehension, secret technique comprehension, and so on.
The cultivation of Sword Qi was naturally the Nine Cycles of Heaven Yuan. As for the comprehension of swordsmanship, other than the basic swordsmanship and the technique of exerting force, there was still the Shocking Wind Sword Art to cultivate. In addition, the fusion of the Golden Edge Sword Art was also progressing.
For example, the "Sky Splitting Sword Strike" that Chu Mu used to defeat Zhuang Lie was the result of the fusion of the first 13 basic moves of the Golden Edge Swordsmanship into the final move, the Sky Splitting Golden Edge. So far, Chu Mu had already integrated the first 10 moves into the Sky Splitting Golden Edge, which greatly increased the power of the Sky Splitting Golden Edge. It was not inferior to Dacheng's Fierce Wind of the Wind Shocking Swordsmanship.
The Sky Splitting Sword Strike was different from the Fierce Wind. The Fierce Wind was an attack that affected a certain range, but the Sky Splitting Sword Strike condensed the power into one and directly attacked a point.
To be honest, the Sky Splitting Sword Strike was obviously more powerful than Dacheng's Fierce Wind, and was not inferior to the Prison Breaking Sword. Moreover, it was incredibly fast, which made it one of Chu Mu's trump cards.
In order to cultivate every day, Chu Mu had become a person who left early and returned late. He spent most of his time in the Sword Comprehension Room, and the rest of his time on the comprehension and cultivation of the sword momentum, swordsmanship, and sword Qi.
During this time, Chu Mu had also read all kinds of books, trying to find the so-called Moro Sword Sect. Unfortunately, he could not find it.
Day after day flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another three days had passed. It was the same sixteen hours a day, and Chu Mu's Tearing Swordsmanship had improved from 26% to 27%.
The higher the improvement, the harder it was to improve.
If it was a normal mentality, the difficulty of improving from 27% to 28% would not be that big. However, the Tearing Swordsmanship was much more difficult to comprehend than a normal mentality, and every bit of difference would be magnified.
It took Chu Mu three and a half days to improve from 27% to 28%. It took Chu Mu four days to improve from 28% to 29%. Then, it took Chu Mu five days to improve from 29% to 30%.
Every sixteen hours, the school credits on Chu Mu's identity sword token were getting less and less.
The secret art, Sky Traversing Secret Art, was indeed worth a million school credits. It was very profound. After two days, Chu Mu had only comprehended the first layer. The second layer was several times more profound than the first layer, and the third layer was several times more profound than the second layer.
Chu Mu even wondered if he should use part of the time in the Sword Comprehension Room to comprehend the Sky Traversing Secret Art. However, after thinking about it, he decided to spend all his time on the Tearing Swordsmanship. When he had comprehended the Tearing Swordsmanship to 40%, he would take the Mind Refining Pellet to speed up his comprehension.
"It's time to challenge the Heaven Level Sword Tower." Chu Mu thought to himself as he went to the Hundred Affair Hall to apply.
It was the same deacon from last time. He immediately became Chu Mu's witness and challenged the Sword Tower's residency with Chu Mu.
First, he had to defeat ten Earth Level Sword Tower students, which was a piece of cake for Chu Mu. Four of them even knew that Chu Mu was already on the Bronze Sword Ranking. Even if he was only ranked one hundred, they knew that they were not Chu Mu's opponent. Therefore, they might as well do him a favor and admit defeat.
For the final challenge, Chu Mu chose number thirty-eight because number thirty-eight happened to be the Sword Tower where Zhao Longkun lived.
In terms of pure swordsmanship, Zhao Longkun was easily defeated by Chu Mu in the King of Swordsmanship Competition. Although he had the cultivation of Qi Transformation Realm, there was still a big gap between him and Chu Mu. How could he be Chu Mu's opponent?
Zhao Longkun did not fight. He chose to admit defeat in a straightforward manner. He knew that he was not Chu Mu's opponent. If he fought with Chu Mu, he would be asking for torture. Who knew if Chu Mu would take the opportunity to injure him?
Anyway, Chu Mu would be finished soon.
…
The Spirit Qi in the Heaven Level Sword Tower was twenty percent of the outside world. It was more obvious than in the Earth Level Sword Tower, and the effect of cultivation was better.
A month had passed since Chu Mu obtained the hundredth place on the Bronze Sword Ranking. Chu Mu had spent 2,400,000 credits in the Sword Comprehension Room. Adding the 700,000 credits from the Traversing Sky Practicing Sword, he still had about 1,900,000 credits left in his Identity Sword Token.
As for Chu Mu's current Ripping Concept, he had just comprehended 32%. A 32% Ripping Concept was much stronger than a 25% Ripping Concept. It was clearly much stronger.
Chu Mu had also mastered the first level of the Traversing Sky Practicing Secret Art. However, he had just comprehended the second level and had not started cultivating it yet.
Today, Chu Mu left number thirty-five Heaven Level Sword Tower again. When he was preparing to go to the Sword Comprehension Room again, he found a deacon of the Hundred Affairs Hall standing outside the Sword Tower.
"Chu Mu, the Palace Master wants to see you." The deacon smiled and said to Chu Mu straightforwardly.
"The Palace Master wants to see me …" Chu Mu was slightly shocked. He recalled the mysterious Palace Master and came back to his senses. He nodded to the deacon and said, "Please lead the way."
