Chu Mu quickly rejected all attempts to recruit him. He quickly left the square and entered the Sword Hunter Mansion.
As expected, the power of Dual Polarity far exceeded Moon Slashing and Red Light. It reached the level of Purple Light Eight Scale, which was already at the level of Sword Master.
Although Dual Polarity wasn't a perfect sword skill and there was still a lot of room for improvement, it only reached Purple Light Eight Scale. Chu Mu was shocked by the swordsmen who could reach Purple Light Ninety Scale.
As for Steel Slashing, Chu Mu didn't try it because the power of Steel Slashing should be twice as strong as Dual Polarity. However, this was his trump card, so Chu Mu wouldn't reveal it.
Zhao Kaiming was speechless as he watched Chu Mu enter the Sword Hunter Mansion. His plan to recruit Chu Mu had completely failed. Once Chu Mu passed the Sword Hunter test, he would be a "big shot". He wasn't someone his Fire Beacon Hunting Group could recruit.
The registration for the Sword Hunter test was unexpectedly simple. One only needed to pay ten thousand top-grade spirit stones, fill in one's personal information, and so on. Then, one just had to wait for the notice because the test had a time limit. It wasn't always open.
Chu Mu was quite lucky. He only needed to wait for another ten days or so to receive the notice of the start of the test. At that time, he only needed to gather at the Sword Hunter Mansion and someone would lead him and the other candidates to the test area.
After leaving the Sword Hunter Mansion, Chu Mu acted alone. He didn't wander around, but instead found an inn and spent ten thousand top-grade spirit stones to book a good room for ten days.
Moreover, Chu Mu also told the inn's waiter that other than the people from the Sword Hunter Mansion, if anyone else wanted to find him, he was to say that he was cultivating in seclusion and didn't want to be disturbed.
Perhaps doing this would offend some narrow-minded people, but Chu Mu didn't care. He really didn't want to be disturbed and waste his time.
Because there were only ten days until the Sword Hunter test, Chu Mu planned to further improve his strength in these ten days to increase his chances of passing the test.
Chu Mu only had a vague idea of how powerful an Earth-shattering Savage Beast was, so he didn't have much confidence.
However, he had no choice but to do so in order to improve his strength significantly in a short period of time.
After all, a swordsman placed the most emphasis on offense. With the offensive strength of a Sword Venerable, one would definitely be favored by various factions. Even in the Barbarian Sword Club and the Ancient Desolates Building, a swordsman with the offensive strength of a Sword Venerable was a highly valued existence.
It wasn't hard to imagine what kind of storm it would cause when Chu Mu, who was only at the peak of the Origin Realm, had the strength of a normal Sword Venerable, was made known to the upper echelons of the various forces.
They would definitely try to recruit him, and they might even use other methods.
Fortunately, this inn had a powerful backer. Even the Barbarian Sword Association and the Ancient Desolates Building didn't dare to provoke them. However, these two weren't among the factions that came to recruit Chu Mu. They were the only two first-rate factions that were high and mighty.
In the room, Chu Mu sat cross-legged and took out a round ball from his interspatial ring. Suddenly, a pure Savage Qi spread out from the round ball and filled the surroundings. Fortunately, every room in this inn had a seal that isolated the Savage Qi.
The round ball was the size of a fist and was yellowish-brown in color. Its surface was rough and had countless bumps. It was a little heavy in his hand, at least fifty kilograms. Chu Mu could keenly feel the pure and violent Savage Qi that was radiating out continuously.
Inner Core!
It was the Inner Core of the Steel-shattering Savage Tyrannosaurus that Chu Mu had instantly killed.
Every Savage Giant Beast had an Inner Core. The Inner Core was the core of the Savage Giant Beast. It was similar to the Dantian of a human swordsman. It was the foundation that stored the Savage Giant Beast's Savage Beast energy. A Savage Giant Beast that had lost its Inner Core could still survive. However, it would lose the Savage Beast energy unless it was recondensed over a long period of time.
However, if a human swordsman wanted to obtain the Inner Core of a Savage Giant Beast, they would have to first kill the Savage Giant Beast. The chances of obtaining the Inner Core while the Savage Giant Beast was still alive was extremely low, almost impossible.
The Inner Core of every Savage Giant Beast was the most precious part of its body.
However, this was not the main point. The main point was that Chu Mu discovered that he could actually absorb the Savage Giant Beast's Inner Core's violent and pure Savage Beast energy. The effect was even better than absorbing the Desolate Sky Stone. The speed of conversion was not inferior at all.
Clenching the Savage Tyrannosaurus' inner core in his right hand, Chu Mu let out a long breath. He closed his eyes and got rid of all distracting thoughts. He began to channel the Sky Desolate Sword Essence. His right hand produced a suction force that sucked the violent and pure savage beast energy out of the Savage Beast's inner core. It poured into his meridians and met with the circulating Sky Desolate Sword Essence.
Savage Giant Beasts were extremely violent. The Savage Giant Beast energy in their Inner Core also had this characteristic. It was extremely aggressive. As soon as it met with Chu Mu's Desolate Sky Sword Energy, it instinctively wanted to defeat Chu Mu's Desolate Sky Sword Energy.
However, Chu Mu's Desolate Sky Sword Energy was extremely pure. Moreover, it was in Chu Mu's body, so it was extremely sharp. When the two forces met, under Chu Mu's will, the Desolate Sky Sword Energy instantly defeated the violent Savage Beast energy, leaving only the purest strand behind. It then rolled up and absorbed the strand of purest Savage Beast energy into the Desolate Sky Sword Energy. As the Desolate Sky Sword Energy moved, it was constantly refined.
The purest Savage Beast energy lost its violent characteristics and became extremely docile. Under Chu Mu's refinement, it was quickly turned into Desolate Sky Sword Energy.
The Savage Beast energy continuously poured out of the Inner Core and entered Chu Mu's meridians. It was shattered by the Desolate Sky Sword Energy time and time again, leaving only the purest strand behind to be refined and absorbed. Under such circumstances, Chu Mu's Desolate Sky Sword Energy was slowly improving.
For the entire day, Chu Mu was in the midst of cultivation. His Desolate Sky Sword Energy had obviously improved.
In terms of mental state, Chu Mu had already surpassed the Origin Realm. The only thing he lacked was sufficient energy. However, absorbing the Desolate Sky Stone was like absorbing Spirit Stones. It was relatively slow, but the advantage was that it was stable.
But now, absorbing the Savage Beast's Inner Core was different. Wave after wave of energy surged in. The energy was tyrannical and violent. If the meridians weren't strong enough, they would be damaged and ruptured.
Fortunately, Chu Mu's Desolate Sky Sword Body was ten times stronger than the body of an ordinary Origin Realm expert. Moreover, both the inside and outside were so tyrannical. Even if the Inner Core's energy was twice as violent, he would still be able to withstand it.
Just as Chu Mu had said, he was going to be in seclusion for the next ten days. Indeed, he didn't leave the room for even a moment. He spent all his time sitting cross-legged on the bed, holding the Savage Beast's Inner Core and constantly absorbing the violent Savage Beast energy.
…
"Go tell him that I am Yang Lianfeng from the Jade Sword Gang. I am here to invite him to join our gang. Tell him to come out and see me immediately." In the lobby of the inn, a male swordsman who looked to be less than thirty years old and was wearing a purple silk robe had his hands behind his back. He had a faint arrogance on his face as he shouted at the inn's waiter.
"Jade Sword Gang!"
"Yang Lianfeng!"
Before the waiter could reply, the people around him had already cried out.
The Jade Sword Gang was one of the few second-rate forces in the Sacred Wild City. In terms of ranking, only the Barbarian Sword Gang and the Ancient Desolation Building were ranked above it.
Although it was ranked fourth, no one doubted the strength of the Jade Sword Gang. This was because the gang's leader was a powerful Sword Hunter. Within the Jade Sword Gang, there were more than ten Sword Hunters.
As for Yang Lianfeng, he could be said to be one of the rising stars that had been in the limelight recently. Together with the other four, he was known as one of the five strongest swordsmen in the Sacred Wild City. He was also known as a swordsman who didn't have the title of Sword Hunter but had the strength of a Sword Hunter.
Perhaps there were more than five swordsmen like him. However, in the Sacred Wild City, the five of them were the most dazzling because they were all under thirty years old.
It was undeniable that there was no lack of geniuses in the Central Main Sword Domain.
"That Chu guy sure has some reputation. Even Yang Lianfeng was alerted and personally came to invite him." In the inn, the swordsmen were discussing in low voices.
"I'm sorry, sir. That guest said that he will be in seclusion for the next ten days and is not to be disturbed." The waiter replied in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing. Although the inn's power wasn't as strong as the Jade Sword Gang, it had a wider network of connections. Furthermore, this was the Sacred Wild City. Even the Barbarian Sword Gang and the Ancient Desolates Building wouldn't dare to make a move.
Everyone understood that no matter how strong the Barbarian Sword Gang and the Ancient Desolates Building were, that was only if the Sacred Sword Guards were excluded.
One had to know that there were a thousand Sacred Sword Guards and at least half of them had the strength of a Sword Hunter. Anyone who offended them would be courting death.
Yang Lianfeng immediately frowned. All kinds of praise and glory were added to his body, causing his originally somewhat arrogant heart to soar and become even more arrogant. He would not allow others to refuse, especially those who were weaker than him.
However, Yang Lianfeng wasn't arrogant to the point of losing his mind. He knew that no violence was allowed in the Sacred Wild City.
With a cold humph, Yang Lianfeng fiercely swept his gaze over the waiter before turning around and leaving in large strides. With his status, he naturally wouldn't argue with a waiter, but he secretly bore a grudge against Chu Mu.
…
Time passed day by day. In the blink of an eye, it was already the ninth day since Chu Mu had entered the room. The inner core of the Savage Beast in his right hand suddenly cracked and turned into a pile of powder. Chu Mu's body trembled as a powerful and sharp aura suddenly erupted from his body.
Before this aura dissipated, an even more powerful and sharp aura erupted from Chu Mu's body like a volcano erupting. Chu Mu opened his eyes. Two rays of sword light shot into the sky, leaving behind two clear traces.
He had broken through to the peak of the Origin Realm. After nine days of closed-door training, he had finally broken through to the initial Origin Realm.
"The amount of sword energy has doubled. The purity has also increased by five percent. The power is even more powerful." Chu Mu said happily after carefully sensing the changes. He didn't know that he had unknowingly offended a genius sword artist that he had never met before. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
