(To be clear, the first watch is usually around six in the evening, and the second watch is usually around ten in the evening.)
Chu Mu had never been a complacent person. At every moment, he was aware of his inadequacies, reflecting on himself, perfecting himself, striving for perfection, striving for transcendence, and becoming even more powerful.
After chatting with Lie Kong Yang for a while and learning about the central main sword realm from him, Chu Mu felt an even greater yearning towards the central main sword realm. He couldn't wait to go there.
However, he also knew that he could go there, but he had to make some preparations. At the very least, he had to hand over all the things he needed to do. Only then would he be able to go there without any worries.
Elder Long, who was in charge of the battle for karmic luck, summoned Chu Mu. They conversed in an extremely friendly manner, which confused Chu Mu. However, Elder Long did not explain why.
In short, it was enough for Chu Mu to know that Elder Long did not harbor any ill intentions towards him.
The next day, the people of the ten sword manors all left East Saint City on their respective flying monsters. The decennial battle for karmic luck had also come to an end. The bustling East Saint City was filled with people, and it would probably take some time for peace to return. No matter what, the news of the new Sword Hero, Chu Mu, immediately spread out from East Saint City, sweeping through the entire Eastern Sword Domain like a storm.
Time flew by, and a month passed in the blink of an eye. However, the discussion about this year's battle for karmic luck did not slow down at all. It was all because this year's battle for karmic luck was just too unexpected, and a super dark horse like Chu Mu had appeared.
Apart from Chu Mu, Lie Kong Yang, Lu Yuan, and Ao Xingyun had all comprehended sword intent. Coupled with Chu Mu, there were a total of four Sword Heroes who had comprehended sword intent.
This was a grand event that had never happened before. In the past, there had only been two Sword Heroes who had comprehended sword intent at most.
"Senior Brother, we came a month late. Otherwise, we would have been able to see the decennial Karmic Luck Battle of the ten great sword mansions of the Eastern Sword Region." In a restaurant in East Saint City, there were three people sitting at a table near the window, two men and one woman. One of the men looked to be in his thirties, the other looked to be under thirty, and the woman looked to be in her early twenties. The one who spoke was the female swordsman.
"It's just a battle for karmic luck between the ten great sword manors of the Eastern Sword Domain. What's there to watch?" The young swordsman's expression was indifferent, and there was a trace of pride between his eyebrows. As for the swordsman in his thirties, he was dressed like a servant or a guard.
"But senior brother, there are four swordsmen who have comprehended sword intent in this battle for providence." The swordswoman's bright eyes were filled with agility. "The cultivation environment of the Eastern Sword Domain is much worse than that of the Central Sword Domain. The number of geniuses here is also incomparable to that of the Central Sword Domain. To be able to comprehend sword intent is already quite extraordinary."
"Oh, tell me about the four swordsmen who have comprehended sword intent." The young man seemed to be a little interested.
"Senior Brother, you have to listen carefully. This is the information that I've collected with all my heart." The swordswoman smiled and said in a coquettish tone. Then, she started talking.
"Thirty percent sword intent … Fifty percent sword intent … Thirty years old …" The young man's eyes flashed with slight disdain. "Ten percent sword intent, that's interesting. However, it's not enough for me to take action. But this twenty-three-year-old who has comprehended twelve percent sword intent has piqued my interest."
The man in his thirties didn't say anything, but his heart was filled with astonishment.
He had become a Sword Hero at the age of twenty, comprehended twelve percent sword intent at the age of twenty-three, and became the King of Sword Heroes of the Eastern Sword Domain. Such a talent in the Central Sword Domain would be able to dominate an area and attract the attention of countless sects. He might even be able to join a powerful sword sect and receive special training.
He looked at the young man beside him and saw a flash of interest in his eyes. He knew that his young master was tempted.
His young master's talent was exceptional, and his family background was extraordinary. He had also become a Sword Hero at the age of twenty. Now that he was twenty-seven, his sword intent had already surpassed ten percent, and he was ranked tenth on the Heavenly Sword Hero Roll. He was also an outer sect disciple of the Divine Firmament Sword Sect, and had already caught the eye of an elder. Once he became an inner sect disciple, he would become the disciple of that elder, and his status would rise.
The young master was proud and arrogant, and he himself was powerful. He loved to target those new geniuses. Of course, the geniuses that he targeted had to have the ability to do so.
"Spread the news. In two months, I will set up a battle arena in front of the Tong Ming River. All the Sword Heroes of the Eastern Sword Domain can participate," the young swordsman said calmly.
The swordswoman's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands. "Senior Brother's goal is to force that Chu Mu to take action?"
"That's right. He's just a mere Chu Mu. What right does he have for me to take the initiative to find him?" The young man laughed coldly.
…
The purple-crowned crane soared in the sky, its wings flapping as it sped away at high speed.
After a month, everyone had calmed down.
In this month, other than resting, Chu Mu used his time as usual. He used half of his time to comprehend sword intent, and the other half to comprehend sword techniques.
His Tearing Concept and Cloud Concept had already reached perfection. Even if he continued to comprehend them, he would not be able to improve them at all. He could only work on the application. As for the application, he could directly comprehend sword techniques and so on. There was no need to specially allocate time.
Although Chu Mu had also comprehended the other six concepts and had reached forty percent mastery, these concepts were of no help to the current Chu Mu.
Moreover, it was too difficult to comprehend these six concepts, and it would take too much time. In addition, now that he had sword intent and the incomplete sword techniques he had created based on sword intent, Chu Mu had no need to waste time on those six concepts. He would neglect the essentials and focus on the trifles.
The application of the Battle of Karmic Luck and a month of meditation had made the application of Moon Slayer more flexible than before, and its power had also increased slightly.
It could be said that Moon Slayer was Chu Mu's most practical and most powerful move at the moment. As for Iron Slash and Point Kill, they were not weak in terms of power, but they could not be compared to Moon Slayer.
However, compared to the Stone Quake Sword or Sky Splitting Sword Strike under the perfection of Tearing Concept, Iron Slash and Point Kill were obviously three or four times more powerful than Lu Yuan's Ten Blades.
Ten Blades was the embryonic form of a sword technique based on sword intent, while Iron Slash and Point Kill were two ultimate sword techniques that used sword momentum to the extreme.
Because Iron Slash and Point Kill had a very deep foundation and were extremely powerful, it was very difficult to integrate sword intent into them. It was five times more difficult than Moon Slayer.
Chu Mu had too little time to do it at the moment. If the huge power of destiny could support him for another month, Chu Mu was sure that he could do it. Unfortunately, without the support of the huge power of destiny, even though his own power of destiny had increased slightly, his comprehension speed was still not fast enough. It was far from being comparable to during the Battle of Karmic Luck.
"If I can successfully replace sword intent and integrate sword momentum into Iron Slash and Point Kill, the power of Iron Slash and Point Kill will definitely be three or four times stronger than Moon Slayer," Chu Mu said secretly.
Iron Slash and Point Kill were the ultimate sword techniques of a swordsman, and they were obviously different from the sword techniques of a swordsman.
The sword techniques of a swordsman appeared on the outside, while those of a swordsman appeared on the inside. They compressed and condensed all kinds of power to the limit in the sword body, thus displaying terrifying power. The price was that they could not attack from a distance and could only be used in close combat.
Even so, these two ultimate sword techniques were still very useful.
For example, Lie Kong Yang had been defeated by Point Kill in the end. Although Chu Mu had shown mercy, he knew that even if he had used all his strength, he would not have been able to severely injure Lie Kong Yang, let alone kill him.
In terms of power, Point Kill was far from being comparable to Lie Kong Yang's Lie Huang Break.
However, if even Point Kill could not do anything to Lie Kong Yang, then Chu Mu would have to wait for Lie Kong Yang's secret technique to lose its effect to defeat him. However, Lie Kong Yang would be the weakest Lie Kong Yang at that time. Even if he won, Chu Mu would not be happy.
Iron Slash was an ultimate sword technique that combined sword Qi, Ripping Concept, Sword Momentum, and Stone Shaking Force into one. It had a terrifying cutting and tearing power that could cut through anything.
Point Kill was an ultimate sword technique that combined sword Qi, Ripping Concept, Sword Momentum, and Stone Shaking Force into one. It had the characteristic of penetrating force, and could penetrate through anything to attack the target behind it.
The Stone Shaking Force could only penetrate a layer of something less than one meter thick, regardless of whether it was physical or energy.
Lie Kong Yang's Sky-burning Green Flame was extremely terrifying, and there was no other way. Chu Mu could only choose Point Kill. The tip of the sword had to come into contact with the object that he wanted to penetrate before activating Point Kill. Only then would the power of the sword be able to penetrate through the Sky-burning Green Flame and hit Lie Kong Yang's chest.
Lie Kong Yang was wearing an extreme grade armor, and his defense was extremely strong. It blocked the power of Point Kill after penetrating the Sky-burning Green Flame. However, that power still had the characteristic of penetrating, and it was also very powerful. Therefore, a trace of power was able to penetrate the armor and enter Lie Kong Yang's body, directly piercing his heart and causing a light injury, causing him to lose.
Sword Intent, Moon Slash, Iron Slash, and Point Kill.
These four were the main points that Chu Mu was currently comprehending.
It had been a month since he left the East Saint City, and his sword intent was still at twelve percent. Chu Mu also knew that without the support of such a huge amount of luck, it would not be easy for his sword intent to break through to thirteen percent.
Chu Mu also knew that compared to the other sword heroes in the East Sword Region, he had already surpassed them by a lot. He was way ahead of them, and even Lie Kong Yang could not be compared to him.
However, Chu Mu felt that his real battlefield was in the Central Sword Region. That place was a world filled with geniuses and powerful swordsmen. Only a place like that would be his home.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another two months had passed. Chu Mu's sword intent had broken through as he wished, reaching thirteen percent. Its power was even stronger, and his Moon Slash and other sword skills were also slightly perfected.
"Three more months, and I will arrive at the Great Kun Sword Palace." Late at night, when it was time to rest, Chu Mu was lying on a tree trunk, looking at the starry sky and thinking, "After returning to the Sword Palace, I will meet with my elder brother and the others. I will then return to my family and stay for a few days. After that, I will leave the East Sword Region and head to the Central Sword Region."
