At the open gates of the Ancient Wild City, there was an invisible seal. The sword token was the pass to pass through the seal. Without the sword token, one would be blocked outside.
Of course, this seal could be broken, but the price was to face the Saint Sword Guards. They could be expelled or killed on the spot. No one was willing to take such a risk just to save some high-grade spirit stones.
As Chu Mu, Zhao Kaiming, and the others entered the city, they saw a man walking towards them. His body was straight and his expression was cold and arrogant. He seemed to be out of tune with the other swordsmen, as if he were superior.
Zhao Kaiming's expression changed. He quickly pulled Chu Mu to the side, as if to make way for the swordsman.
"That sir has a sword token hanging on his left chest. That is the symbol of a Sword Hunter." Without waiting for Chu Mu to ask, Zhao Kaiming explained, "In the Ancient Wild Realm, the status of a Sword Hunter is even higher. Ordinary swordsmen must make way for them and call them sir. Otherwise, it is disrespectful."
Chu Mu smiled as he heard this. This Sword Hunter really had a lot of tricks up his sleeves.
What 'sir' or making way for them, he didn't care. The only thing that moved his heart was the qualifications to enter the Ten Thousand Killing Array, Enlightenment Pagoda, and so on.
"That's right, Little Brother Brother Chu, I saw you kill that Shattering Steel level Savage Tyrannosaurus with a single sword strike. Your striking power is very formidable. I wonder if you would be interested in testing it?" Zhao Kaiming thought for a moment and then said to Chu Mu. He looked at the other three swordsmen and said, "You three, return to the Beast Hunting Group first. If the Captain asks, just say that I'm taking Little Brother Brother Chu to test your striking power."
"Test striking power?" Chu Mu was surprised at first, but then he nodded. He was also a bit interested in this sort of thing.
"Then come with me. The Sword Stele to test striking power is in the square outside the Sword Hunter Mansion." Zhao Kaiming smiled and enthusiastically led the way for Chu Mu.
Chu Mu could feel the subtle change in Zhao Kaiming's attitude. He knew that there must be a reason behind it and had some guesses. However, Chu Mu did not care. He had his own principles and persistence.
The Sacred Wild City was neither big nor small. The two walked quickly, and it took them half an hour to reach the plaza outside the Sword Hunting Mansion. The plaza was extremely large, at least ten times the size of a football field. In the middle of the plaza, there was a white sword stele. It was a hundred meters tall and very clear.
A large number of swordsmen had gathered around the sword stele. There were at least a thousand of them, and they were scattered all over the place. Their gazes were all focused on the hundred-meter-long white sword stele.
At this moment, a middle-aged swordsman in a black robe stood in front of the sword stele. His expression was cold and solemn, and his entire body was covered in Sword Qi. Waves of sharp Sword Qi were emitted from his body. He held the longsword tightly in his right hand, and one could clearly see Sword Qi flowing on the sword like water.
The surrounding swordsmen all held their breaths.
Chu Mu and Zhao Kaiming walked over and squeezed into the crowd to look at the swordsman.
With a low shout, the black-robed swordsman slashed out with his sword. In a split second, a blue sword light surged out like a wave, making a whistling sound like the waves of the sea.
With a bang, the blue wave of sword light bombarded the white sword stele. The white sword stele was like an ancient mountain that did not move. The blue wave of sword light was instantly shattered. The moment the blue wave of sword light disappeared, from the bottom of the white sword stele, a dazzling red light shot up, attracting the attention of all the swordsmen.
Chu Mu discovered that there were clear scales on the white sword stele.
In the blink of an eye, the dazzling red light rushed to the thirtieth scale. Its speed suddenly decreased, and it slowly climbed up. When it reached the thirty-third scale, it slightly shook and stopped moving.
The dazzling red light lasted for about three breaths of time before it rapidly fell down. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the bottom of the white sword stele.
"The attack power is thirty-three. It increased by one scale compared to last month." The black-robed swordsman was somewhat unwilling, but this sword was already his strongest sword. Even if he was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.
"Brother Chu, this white sword stele is used to test attack power. The scale of hardships is one hundred. If the attack power exceeds one hundred, the red light will turn into a purple light and rush up from the bottom." Zhao Kaiming explained in a low voice. His tone was somewhat excited and amazed, "The sword stele can only test the attacks of experts below the level of Sword Of Gojoseon. It only has two colors, red and purple. However, there are relatively few swordsmen that can be evaluated as having a purple attack power. Normally, it would only be possible if they have at least the attack power of a Sword Venerable. Currently, the highest attack power sword stele in the Wild Sacred City is Lord Su Hao Sha's ninety-three scale scales. There are six other lords that have achieved a purple scale of ninety and above. "
Compared to Zhao Kaiming's amazement, Chu Mu didn't feel much. This was because he didn't know how big the difference between red and purple scales was. Only by personally experiencing it would he be able to understand.
The attack power sword stele didn't cost any spirit stones, so there were often many swordsmen gathered here. Since they didn't have to pay a price, they could just attack once or twice to see if their attack power had improved.
When one person went down, someone would immediately walk up and attack with their sword.
Basically, the swordsmen would directly use their sword skills. Moreover, they would use their best sword skills to attack. But after a dozen swordsmen, the highest attack power level didn't exceed sixty.
"I'll also test it." Zhao Kaiming felt his blood boiling and couldn't help but walk out, "It has already been three months since the last test. I wonder how many scales I can increase."
Zhao Kaiming slowly pulled out his sword. His aura steadily rose and became incomparably sharp. His expression was cold and solemn as if there was a wild beast in front of him.
No one found it strange because all the swordsmen who lived in the Ancient Wild Realm would be like this after a long period of time.
Zhao Kaiming's aura rose to the peak as his sword energy surged back and forth on the sword. He suddenly let out a low roar and slashed out. It was as if he was going to split the sword stele in half. A fiery red sword light pierced through the air.
With a boom, the fiery red sword light was shattered. A dazzling red light rapidly shot up from the bottom of the sword stele. In the blink of an eye, it had reached thirty scales and continued to rise. When it reached forty scales, its speed suddenly decreased and finally stopped between forty-four and forty-five scales.
"It's two scales more than three months ago." Zhao Kaiming sighed.
Ordinary Origin Realm swordsmen wouldn't be able to increase their strength by much in just a few months unless they encountered some great opportunity.
Situations like Zhao Kaiming's were too common. Therefore, no one dared to laugh at him. It would only show their ignorance.
"Brother Chu, Brother Chu, you should also go test it." Zhao Kaiming walked towards Chu Mu and said.
"Alright." Chu Mu nodded and walked towards the testing spot.
Without him accumulating his aura, the eight-sided Tianhuang Sword was unsheathed. A streak of Tianhuang Sword energy instantly condensed and turned into a yellowish-brown crescent moon. In the blink of an eye, it traveled dozens of meters and slashed onto the white sword stele.
With a boom, the Tianhuang Sword energy shattered and a red light shot up from the bottom of the sword stele. Ten scales!
Suddenly, the surrounding swordsmen reacted. They all looked at Chu Mu with different expressions.
"What a waste of time. He actually used a normal attack." Some of the swordsmen mumbled.
"Judging from his aura, this person's sword energy is only at the peak of the Origin Realm. However, his normal attack has reached ten scales. This means that the martial arts he practices is extraordinary. It is definitely above the Heaven Level."
Normally, a Peak Origin Realm swordsman's normal attack would be around five Scale Points, which only applied to swordsmen who practiced Extreme Rank Earth Realm martial arts. The better the martial arts, the stronger the sword energy, and the more powerful the attack.
Ten scale points was equivalent to a swordsman who had reached the peak of the Initial Stage of the Astral Realm who had practiced a Top Rank Earth Realm technique.
Chu Mu's cultivation was only at the peak of the Origin Realm. Therefore, it was judged that the martial arts he practiced was extraordinary.
"It should be his first time testing his attack power. That's why he tried it first." Some of the more experienced swordsmen said.
Chu Mu slashed out again. A dark golden crescent moon broke through the air. Zhao Kaiming clenched his fists and looked excited. He recognized it. It was the same sword that killed the Steel-crushing Tyrannosaurus rex.
Zhao Kaiming also really wanted to know what level the power of this sword had reached.
Chu Mu's sword attack was too fast. There was almost no time for him to accumulate his aura. Before the swordsmen could react, the dark golden crescent moon had already hit the white sword stele.
With a crack, the dark golden crescent moon shattered. From the bottom of the sword stele, a dazzling red light shot up and gushed out.
In the blink of an eye, the red light passed the fiftieth scale. In another blink of an eye, it passed the sixtieth scale. Its speed decreased, but it was still climbing.
When the red light reached the seventieth scale, its speed decreased again, but it was still climbing.
At the eightieth scale, the red light's speed decreased again and again. It was difficult to climb.
Finally, the red light stopped at the eighty-fourth scale.
"Eighty-four scales!"
"What a powerful attack!"
"This has already reached the level of a normal peak Origin Realm swordsman's attack."
After three breaths, the red light fell. The swordsmen reacted and exclaimed. They all knew that Chu Mu was only at the peak of the Origin Realm.
"Eighty-four scales … No wonder he could kill the Steel-crushing Tyrannosaurus rex." Zhao Kaiming mumbled to himself.
Chu Mu frowned slightly. Eighty-four scales was already very high in the eyes of the surrounding swordsmen. At least, none of the dozens of swordsmen had reached this level. However, in Chu Mu's eyes, it was still not enough.
However, Chu Mu also understood the limitations of Beheading Moon. He could only start with the Ripping profound. When the Ripping profound increased, the power of Beheading Moon would also increase.
"Now, let's test the power of Bipolar." Chu Mu said to himself and attacked again.
In that instant, the swordsmen only saw a purple light shoot out. Almost at the same time, it had already hit the white sword stele.
Without much commotion, the purple light disappeared. The swordsmen's eyes were immediately filled with a dazzling red light. In just a moment, the red light rushed from the bottom of the stele to the hundredth scale and then disappeared. Following that, a purple light quietly appeared at the bottom. (To be continued.
