The first day of the Battle of Providence had ended, but the discussions were unprecedentedly heated because of Chu Mu's battle and Chu Mu's sword.
Thrilling!
Stunning beyond compare!
Not only did the millions of spectators not dare to underestimate Chu Mu, but the other members of the Nine Supreme Sword Residences didn't dare to underestimate Chu Mu either. They knew that it wasn't luck, it wasn't luck at all. It was true strength.
"Kong Yang, what do you think of that sword?" The Palace Master of the Great Qian Sword Residence asked.
"Not bad … That's all …" Lie Kong Yang said faintly.
"That's true." The Great Qian Sword Residence's King Residence Palace Master smiled and secretly thought that he had asked the wrong person. Lie Kong Yang was the Sword Hero King of Eastern Sword Region. That Great Kun Sword Residence's Chu Mu's strength was not bad, but compared to Lie Kong Yang, the difference was like heaven and earth.
He believed that Lie Kong Yang had used his full strength to defeat Yao Xiang.
As for the unlucky Yao Xiang, he was severely injured by Chu Mu's sword and had vomited blood and fainted. He was brought back and treated with elixirs. Unfortunately, Chu Mu's sword was driven by the Infinite Desolation Sword Qi. The corrosive characteristics of the Infinite Desolation Sword Qi constantly corroded Yao Xiang's body. It would take a lot of time to get rid of the corrosive characteristics of the Infinite Desolation Sword Qi.
Simply put, Yao Xiang would be crippled in a short period of time. Even if he went on stage, he wouldn't be able to use 50% of his strength.
"Elder Tang, please arrange for you to fight with Chu Mu for tomorrow's battle." The Mansion Master of the Great Qian Dynasty's Sword Mansion said with a smile, "You know what to do."
Lie Kong Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry. I guarantee that he will suffer ten times more than Junior Brother Yao for what he did to Junior Brother Yao."
…
"The Great Kun Sword Residence is really unexpected this time to have such a powerful Sword Hero." The Palace Master of the Hidden Dragon Sword Residence, which was ranked second among the Ten Supreme Sword Residences, smiled and looked at a young man beside him. "Lu Yuan, what do you think of his sword?"
"It's just so-so." Lu Yuan replied expressionlessly, "I only have one opponent. I don't care about the others."
"Hehe." The Hidden Dragon Sword Mansion's Mansion Master smiled. He knew that the opponent Lu Yuan was talking about was the Sword Hero King, Lie Kong Yang.
…
After the first day's battle ended, the Great Kun Sword Residence returned to the Great Kun Garden with a record of one win and nine losses.
The Battle of Providence was not something that could be completed in a day or two. Even though they had lost nine rounds, Chu Mu's victory made them feel especially proud and refreshed.
"Junior Brother Chu's sword is really too amazing." Long Lie laughed loudly.
"I think they might think that this is Junior Brother Chu's full strength," Jiang Lichen said with a smile.
"Junior Brother Chu, let's shock them again in tomorrow's battle. Let them see your prowess." Fu Yunxiao also laughed.
Because Chu Mu's rise was too sudden, it overturned the conclusion in everyone's heart, making them feel unprepared.
"Senior Brothers, don't be too optimistic." Yu Miaomiao's face flashed with a hint of worry. "With one look, I can tell that Elder Tang of the East Sage Hall is helping the Great Kun Sword Mansion to go against us. Otherwise, we wouldn't have lost nine rounds. If not for Junior Brother Chu's strength, I'm afraid that we would have lost ten rounds in a row today and wouldn't have the face to continue participating in the next battle."
When everyone heard Yu Miaomiao's words, they were stunned and their faces turned gloomy.
It was too obvious. The other sword manors had adjusted their opponents, but the Great Kun Sword Mansion's opponent had always been the Great Kun Sword Mansion. Even a fool could tell that there was something fishy going on.
However, the East Sage Hall was high and mighty. The status of the East Sage Hall's Elders was not inferior to the Mansion Masters of the ten sword manors. Their strength was even more unfathomable.
Regardless of status or strength, they couldn't question an Elder of the East Sage Hall.
"If that's the case, tomorrow's battle …" Everyone's faces suddenly turned pale. Their eyes were filled with worry as they looked at Chu Mu. Suddenly, they hated the feeling of exhilaration that they had just experienced.
This was because they had all thought of the same situation.
In tomorrow's battle, there was an eighty to ninety percent chance that the Great Kun Sword Mansion's Blazing Sky Sword Hero, Lie Kong Yang, would be pitted against Chu Mu.
The Blazing Sky Sword Hero, Lie Kong Yang. Even without that book, this name was still very well-known. He was the number one Sword Hero in the Eastern Sword Domain, the King of Sword Heroes.
They didn't know how powerful Lie Kong Yang was. They only knew that until now, those powerful Sword Heroes who didn't accept the title of King of Sword Heroes couldn't even take three of his sword strikes.
It was rumored that no one had ever seen Lie Kong Yang unleash his full strength because they weren't qualified.
The words' Blazing Sky Sword Hero, Lie Kong Yang 'were like a piece of heaven that suppressed all the Sword Heroes in the Eastern Sword Domain. They could only look up at him and feel despair under such suppression. Even if there was a day when Lie Kong Yang couldn't suppress his accumulation and had to break through, such a shadow would still follow them.
Was Chu Mu powerful?
Powerful. At least among the students of the Great Kun Sword Mansion, Chu Mu was the most powerful. Furthermore, he was only twenty-three years old this year.
He became a Sword Hero at the age of twenty and was the only one in the Great Kun Dynasty in a thousand years. Even in the entire Eastern Sword Domain, he could be ranked in the top ten. At the age of twenty-two, he could suppress a Sword Hero who had accumulated for five years. Now, at the age of twenty-three, he could execute a soul-stirring sword strike and severely injure a Sword Hero who had accumulated for almost six years.
They all believed that if Chu Mu was given enough time, as long as Chu Mu was given a few more years, he might be able to compete with Lie Kong Yang for the title of King of Sword Heroes in the Eastern Sword Domain.
However, if Chu Mu were to face off against Lie Kong Yang tomorrow, Lie Kong Yang's incomparably powerful strength would cause others to feel despair. Once Chu Mu was defeated by Lie Kong Yang's sword, it might be a huge blow to Chu Mu. It would leave a shadow in his heart and hinder Chu Mu's progress in the future.
To a certain extent, it was equivalent to stifling him.
"Junior brother Chu, I know that you are proud and unyielding, but in tomorrow's battle, once you face off against Lie Kong Yang, you must immediately admit defeat no matter what. Do not give Lie Kong Yang a chance to attack." Jiang Lichen said to Chu Mu with an extremely serious expression. The other Sword Heroes also had solemn expressions.
"That's right, junior brother Chu. With your talent, you might not necessarily be inferior to Lie Kong Yang in the future. What you lack is time. If you had become a Sword Hero ten years ago, you might not necessarily be unable to fight Lie Kong Yang now." Fu Yunxiao added, "However, you have only been a Sword Hero for three years now. This is the time when a Sword Hero's strength will increase by leaps and bounds."
"Senior brothers, don't worry. I know what I am doing," Chu Mu smiled and said.
Compared to the worries in their hearts, Chu Mu was actually very calm.
Firstly, Chu Mu didn't know much about Lie Kong Yang. He had only been a Sword Hero for a short period of time. What kind of person Lie Kong Yang was, he only knew about it yesterday.
Secondly, it was because of his confidence. The two years of seclusion in the Eastern Sage Sub Palace was mainly to strengthen his foundation, but it also had an obvious effect on his strength. After a year of digesting and absorbing, Chu Mu's strength was still increasing rapidly. Until now, it had only slowed down slightly.
All of this was because of his powerful soul and monstrous perception that surpassed other Sword Artists. The increase was greater than others, and the duration was longer than others. This was his incomparable advantage.
A Sword Hero's strength was determined by their years of accumulation. In fact, Chu Mu's one year of accumulation might be equivalent to several years of accumulation for other Sword Heroes.
Therefore, even Chu Mu himself wasn't clear about how strong he was. Because until now, he had yet to meet an opponent who could make him use his full strength.
This was because Chu Mu still couldn't fight against an Origin Realm Sword Artist, even if he used his full strength. Therefore, they couldn't be called opponents. Only Sword Heroes could be called opponents.
After looking at the information of the hundred Sword Heroes in the book, Chu Mu had a feeling that of these Sword Heroes, if there were no accidents, only Lie Kong Yang could be his opponent.
As for the two Sword Heroes who were ranked second and third, if they could force Chu Mu to use his full strength, even Chu Mu himself couldn't be sure.
Just the information in the book was quite detailed, but there were some secret things that weren't recorded at all. Perhaps they didn't know, or perhaps they didn't allow it.
If Chu Mu was hiding something, then the others might be hiding something as well.
Originally, Chu Mu's plan was to compete with Lie Kong Yang in the final battle, the battle at the pinnacle.
But if tomorrow's battle was really arranged to be between him and Lie Kong Yang, then it wasn't impossible. They would have to fight sooner or later.
"Junior Brother …" Fu Yunxiao was anxious and immediately said, as if he wanted Chu Mu to agree right now.
"Alright, since Junior Brother Chu said that he knows what he's doing, then he knows what he's doing." Jiang Lichen suppressed Fu Yunxiao's words and said softly, "We should believe in Junior Brother Chu."
Everyone also came to their senses and secretly thought that they were too worried. Chu Mu wasn't someone who would act recklessly.
"Senior Brothers, take advantage of the great fortune to comprehend and do your best to increase your strength." Chu Mu said with a smile and stood up to leave.
"Junior Brother is right. Now is the best opportunity for us to raise our strength. Work hard and comprehend. No matter what, we cannot lose again." Long Lie stretched out his hand and clenched his fist tightly as he spoke in a powerful and resonating voice.
In the blink of an eye, everyone left. They all returned to their rooms to reflect on what they had learned today, converting and absorbing it.
Chu Mu was different. He had a strong soul and monstrous comprehension ability. Furthermore, he had the support of a vast amount of Luck. Chu Mu had converted and absorbed all fifty battles that happened today, drawing inferences from them.
In terms of who gained the most from watching such battles, Chu Mu was undoubtedly the first. Even Lie Kong Yang couldn't compare to him.
Hence, Chu Mu was now using the Luck to comprehend the sword intent.
One could say that the sword intent was one of Chu Mu's trump cards. He didn't know when he would have to reveal this trump card. Of course, the slower, the better.
At the same time, Baili Jiang He left the Great Kun Garden with a heavy heart.
For the sake of tomorrow's battle, the Great Kun Sword Residence wouldn't repeat today's mistakes. He had to make an appearance, even if he had to pay a price. (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.)
