After Liang Haishan left, Chu Mu pondered for a moment and then began to comprehend the sword momentum. Time passed quickly, and Chu Mu did not rest for the whole night.
He, who was used to high-intensity cultivation, spent almost all of his limited time on cultivation, striving to achieve the best cultivation results in the shortest time possible.
He even wanted to cultivate all the time, but that was just an extravagant hope.
At dawn the next day, Chu Mu completed the cultivation of the Nine Revolutions of Heavenly Origin. After tidying up a little, he left the Yellow Level Sword Tower and went to the branch of the Hundred Affairs Hall to directly apply for the challenge of the Heaven Level Sword Tower.
"Please give me your identity sword token. As for your original things, you can send them over after you finish the challenge." Deacon Lin of the Hundred Affairs Hall smiled and then transferred one million credits into Chu Mu's identity sword token. That was what Chu Mu should get after completing the guarding task of the mining area.
"Brother Chu, which Heaven Level Sword Tower do you want to challenge?" Deacon Lin asked with a smile as he handed the identity sword token back to Chu Mu.
"No. 1." Chu Mu said lightly.
"No. 1!" Deacon Lin opened his mouth and made a sound of disbelief. His face was full of astonishment.
Deacon Lin felt that Chu Mu's cultivation had increased a lot this time, and his strength had also increased a lot. However, others had also increased a lot.
Therefore, he estimated that the Heaven Level Sword Tower Chu Mu wanted to challenge should be between No. 10 and No. 30. He did not expect Chu Mu to challenge the No. 1 Heaven Level Sword Tower. Wasn't he biting off more than he could chew?
"Brother Chu, a student of the No. 1 Heaven Level Sword Tower, ranked 30th on the Bronze Sword List. He is very powerful, even more powerful than Zhuge Ming." Deacon Lin hurriedly said, implying that he hoped Chu Mu would not bite off more than he could chew and choose a weaker person to challenge.
"That's even better," Chu Mu said with a smile. His tone was resolute and unquestionable.
After learning about the situation from Liang Haishan, Chu Mu had already decided to directly challenge Sword Tower No. 1.
The Spirit Qi in the Heaven Level Sword Tower was denser and purer. It was of great help to the cultivation of the Heavenly Origin Sword Qi, especially with the enhancement of the King-level Spirit Devouring Pearl.
As for the Bronze Sword Ranking, Chu Mu did not care about his ranking. To him, the true use of the Bronze Sword Ranking was the right to use the Sword Comprehension Room.
No matter if it was the first or second heaven level sword tower or any other heaven level sword tower, it was all the same to Chu Mu. With his current strength, he was confident that he could win even if he challenged the number one on the Bronze Sword List.
A mere 30th place was nothing at all.
"Since Brother Chu has already decided, let's challenge the number one Heaven Level Sword Tower." Deacon Lin's persuasion was fruitless, and he could only smile bitterly. He immediately passed down the message, and then led Chu Mu to the No.1 Heaven Level Sword Tower.
… …
Xu Tianran was wearing a loose blue robe. There was always a faint smile on his face, and there was a hint of arrogance between his brows.
In the past, he was not conspicuous among the many Inner Palace students. However, he had a fortuitous encounter during a mission. This encounter had allowed his Sword Qi cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds, reaching the peak of the Qi Transformation Realm. It had also allowed his comprehension of the Concept of Water to increase to 65%, and his overall strength had greatly increased.
Coincidentally, when he returned to the Sword Mansion, he encountered the Bronze Sword List's nomination battle. With his increased strength, he defeated many opponents in one fell swoop and finally obtained 30th place on the Bronze Sword List, surpassing Zhuge Ming from the previous Bronze Sword List.
Xu Tianran did not show it on his face, but he was quite proud of himself. He felt that he was already the number one expert in Astral-9, and that he was even more powerful than Zhuge Ming, who he had looked up to in the past.
When Xu Tianran received the news that someone wanted to challenge him, he was stunned at first, but when he found out that the person who wanted to challenge him was Chu Mu, he laughed out loud.
Who was Chu Mu? Xu Tianran knew very well that before and after the Sword Skills Are King Competition, he had heard Chu Mu's name so many times that his ears were about to form calluses. He had even subconsciously considered Chu Mu as a formidable opponent.
However, when he had obtained 30th place on the Bronze Sword List, he felt that Chu Mu was simply not his match. Therefore, when he received the news that Chu Mu wanted to challenge him, he felt that Chu Mu was overestimating himself.
"Why don't the two of you fight in the Sword Battle Arena?" Deacon Lin suggested.
No matter what, Xu Tianran was ranked 30th on the Bronze Sword List, while Chu Mu had previously been ranked 100th. Both of their strengths were extraordinary, and if they fought, it would definitely affect a large area.
"The Sword Battle Arena? There's no need for that. We can settle it here. It won't take much time, and it won't cause much of an impact, "Xu Tianran said unhurriedly, his half-smile even more obvious.
Xu Tianran's eyes stared at Chu Mu, his indifferent eyes carrying a trace of contempt. Even Deacon Lin could feel it, let alone Chu Mu.
"Chu Mu, there was a time when I thought I would have to look up to you. I never thought that I would surpass you and leave you far behind me." Chu Mu did not speak, so Xu Tianran spoke again. He held the hilt of his sword with one hand and said, "Make your move. I'll let you make three moves, lest you say I didn't give you a chance."
Hearing Xu Tianran's confident words, Chu Mu wanted to laugh. This person's sense of superiority was too strong.
"Your words are too much," Chu Mu said lightly. He unsheathed the Quick Sky Sword and stabbed forward.
Xu Tianran only saw the Sword Light flash before his eyes, and a cold star was already heading straight for his face. The cold attack was so fast that it was beyond his expectations.
Feeling a chill in his heart, Xu Tianran quickly retreated and pulled out his sword to block.
The blue colored sword aura was like a surging tide. Layer by layer, it surged towards Chu Mu, causing Chu Mu's sword to feel as if it had pierced into water, causing its speed to be affected.
This blue sword Qi contained obvious fluctuations of the concept of water.
From this, it could be seen that Xu Tianran's reputation was not undeserved. Facing Chu Mu's extremely fast sword, he quickly responded, trying to weaken Chu Mu's attack speed as much as possible to buy himself some time.
With a clang, the two swords collided and sparks flew. Xu Tianran quickly retreated and finally escaped Chu Mu's attack range. His face turned green and white, and there was a hint of fear.
"I take back what I said about letting you make three moves. Your strength is completely beyond my expectations. I will use all my strength to deal with you." Xu Tianran was a straightforward person. He immediately took back what he said, not caring about his face.
"I practice the Mortal Tier Ancient Sword Art, Great River Sword Art. Take this! Great River Sword Art, Endless River Surges!" Xu Tianran did not give Chu Mu a chance to speak. He waved his blue sword and waves of water spread out. It was as if the surrounding air had turned into a lake. The blue sword Qi and the concept of water mixed together, and under Xu Tianran's sword attack, it turned into a great river. Endless waves surged towards Chu Mu.
The sound of the waves grew louder and louder, like the ebb and flow of the tides. Not far away, Manager Lin's face changed.
This sword move was not very powerful in the beginning, but its advantage was its endurance. After a few waves of impact, the power would continue to stack, becoming increasingly powerful. In the end, it would become unstoppable.
Although Manager Lin's strength was not that great, he had a lot of experience and had a good eye. He immediately saw through the characteristics of Xu Tianran's sword move. He wanted to warn Chu Mu, but he had to restrain himself. Once he did, it would be the same as cheating. Even if Chu Mu won in the end, it would be an unfair victory.
Waves of blue sword Qi were reflected in Xu Tianran's eyes. Each wave contained more than sixty percent of the water mentality, and was extremely powerful.
He waved his Speed Sky Sword, and the Heaven Yuan sword Qi and the ripping mentality were mixed together. The Rock Shaking Wave Sword was activated!
A dark gold sword with high frequency vibrations tore through the sky. Upon contact, it tore through the first wave of blue waves. In the blink of an eye, waves after waves of blue waves were torn apart like tofu.
The dark gold sword light tore through the waves and directly attacked Xu Tianran.
Xu Tianran's face changed drastically. He waved his sword to block. Peng! The blue sword was shaken, and his protective sword Qi was also shattered by the shockwave of the Rock Shaking Wave Sword. The huge shockwave and the extremely sharp ripping mentality made Xu Tianran's whole body fly back uncontrollably. After landing on the ground, he took a few steps back. Each step left a clear footprint on the ground.
His blood and Qi were boiling, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. His face first turned red, then white, and his eyes were filled with shock.
"This …" Standing on the side, Manager Lin's jaw dropped. He almost couldn't believe what he was seeing.
One sword. Chu Mu had only thrown out one sword attack, but it had not only broken Xu Tianran's sword attack, it had also put him at a disadvantage.
"What kind of sword was that?" Xu Tianran swallowed hard, and his voice became hoarse.
"Rock Shaking Wave Sword." Chu Mu answered lightly. He pointed his Speed Sky Sword at the ground, and his eyes landed on Xu Tianran's face, waiting for him to make a choice. Would he continue the battle or surrender?
Xu Tianran's eyes were shaking. He was struggling in his heart. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "I surrender. You are more powerful than me."
Although he was proud, Xu Tianran was not a brainless person. From that sword attack of Chu Mu's, he knew that there was a gap between him and Chu Mu's power. That sword attack had still made his blood and Qi churn, and the hand that was holding the sword was a bit numb. His mentality had also suffered a huge blow. Under such a condition, there was no way he could be Chu Mu's opponent.
"Thank you." Chu Mu put his sword back into its scabbard and saluted.
"I will go pack up now." Xu Tianran also put his sword back into its scabbard. He laughed at himself and walked into the Heaven Level Sword Tower.
"Brother Chu, congratulations on your successful challenge." Manager Lin still felt like he was dreaming.
Chu Mu smiled. He did not think that there was anything to congratulate him for. Defeating Xu Tianran was within his expectations.
Not long after, Xu Tianran finished packing up and walked out of the number one Heaven Level Sword Tower, and headed towards the Yellow Level Sword Tower area. The Yellow Level Sword Tower was only a temporary residence. He would challenge it the next day and move back into the Heaven Level Sword Tower. Chu Mu and Manager Lin also returned to the Hundred Affair Hall branch. They gave Chu Mu's identity sword token a sign to open the number one Heaven Level Sword Tower.
From now on, the number one Heaven Level Sword Tower belonged to Chu Mu. (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.)
