Fifty-six percent sword intent!
Fifty-seven percent sword intent!
Fifty-eight percent sword intent!
…
Fifty-six percent sword intent!
Finally, after a month of meditation in the Enlightenment Pagoda, Chu Mu's sword intent reached sixty percent as he wished.
On one hand, it was the potential he had accumulated through the four months of constantly fighting the savage beasts in the Ancient Savage Realm. On the other hand, it was Chu Mu's monstrous comprehension ability. Adding on the amplification from the Dao Comprehending Pagoda, his comprehension speed had increased by a hundred times. This continued for a month without stopping. The increase in his sword intent was like riding a rocket.
But sixty percent was already Chu Mu's current limit. He knew that even if he used all his remaining hunting points to comprehend the sword intent, it would be difficult for him to break through sixty percent.
However, Chu Mu's sixty percent sword intent was different from other swordsmen's sixty percent sword intent. After the impact of the Still Water sword intent, it was comparable to an ordinary sixty percent sword intent. And because of the embryonic form of the sword soul, it was enough to fight against an ordinary seventy percent sword intent.
Seventy percent sword intent, that was the first requirement for sword intent Dacheng to obtain the title of Sword Venerable.
There were still more than ten days before the battle with Yang Lianfeng. Chu Mu planned to continue staying in the Enlightenment Pagoda. This time, he would comprehend the Wukong conception and the three profound meanings.
Ten days was a little short. Therefore, Chu Mu planned to comprehend the three profound meanings first. After reaching the limit, he would comprehend the concept of emptiness.
With the help of the aftermath of comprehending the sword intent, Chu Mu's comprehension ability was at a high level. It was easy for him to comprehend the profound meanings.
Soon, the Tearing Profound Meaning reached forty-five percent. Chu Mu then switched to comprehending the two profound meanings of water and fire.
The Dual Polarity sword technique was based on the fusion of the two profound meanings of water and fire. Therefore, the two profound meanings had to be the same in order to fully unleash its power. Otherwise, it would be weakened.
Comprehending two kinds of power Upanishads at the same time was really difficult. However, Chu Mu's comprehension ability was really amazing. He had comprehended the two kinds of power Upanishads to forty-five percent, which was equal to the Ripping power Upanishad.
Of course, the combined power of the Water and Fire Profound was much stronger than the Ripping Profound.
With three days left, Chu Mu began to comprehend the concept of emptiness.
At this time, Chu Mu felt like he was going straight ahead. It was as if all obstacles had been broken through, unable to obstruct him in the slightest. He easily entered a state of comprehension. All sorts of mysteries of the Concept of Void appeared in his mind and were perceived by him.
His Concept of Emptiness began to rise as if there was no bottleneck.
…
Where there were people, there was competition.
This was a world of interests and pursuits.
In the eyes of most people, the battle between Chu Mu and Yang Lianfeng was not worth watching. Chu Mu was definitely not Yang Lianfeng's match.
Half a year ago, this was the case. Half a year later, the gap was even greater. This was what almost everyone knew.
However, there were still people who started gambling.
There were several types of bets.
The first type was that Chu Mu would be defeated by Yang Lianfeng in one move. The odds were 1: 0.5.
The second type was that Chu Mu would survive three moves from Yang Lianfeng. The odds were 1: 1.
The third type was that Chu Mu would survive ten moves from Yang Lianfeng. The odds were 1: 2.
The fourth type was that Chu Mu would survive 20 moves from Yang Lianfeng. The odds were 1: 3.
There were only these four types of bets. No one thought that Chu Mu could survive 20 moves from Yang Lianfeng.
On the third day, Chu Mu left the Enlightenment Pagoda. His Concept of Emptiness had already reached 90%. He had encountered a bottleneck and could not continue to improve. Even if he spent all his time comprehending today, it would be difficult for him to improve his Concept of Emptiness.
"Forget it. I'll deal with Yang Lianfeng first, then continue to comprehend." Muttering to himself, Chu Mu looked at the sky and prepared to return to his residence.
However, along the way, he kept hearing all sorts of discussions about his battle with Yang Lianfeng.
Naturally, he also heard about the bet this time.
"Bet …" Chu Mu pondered for a moment, then a smile hung on the corner of his mouth. "Interesting. It seems that I'm destined to make a huge profit this time."
After staying in the Enlightenment Pagoda for more than a month, not only did he spend more than 50,000 hunting points, but he also spent more than 50 million high-grade spirit stones. Chu Mu's spatial ring suddenly became much emptier.
The spirit stones he had left were not enough to support him to use up the remaining hunting points. Therefore, Chu Mu also needed to find a way to earn a large amount of spirit stones.
The bet this time just happened to give him this opportunity.
Chu Mu stopped a swordsman and asked where to place his bets. Then, he turned around and went to the Giant Beast Bank in the Holy City.
The Colossal Beast Bank was the banker who opened the bet this time.
When Chu Mu arrived at the Giant Beast Bank, a large number of swordsmen had gathered here. It was very lively, like a market. All kinds of discussions came one after another, and the content of the discussions were all related to the bet.
"I bet on the first one. Chu Mu will be defeated by Yang Lianfeng in one move. I bet 10,000 top-grade spirit stones."
"Although Yang Lianfeng is stronger than Chu Mu, I don't think Chu Mu can't even withstand one move. I bought the second one, also 10,000 top-grade spirit stones. This time I can earn 10,000 top-grade spirit stones."
"I also bought the second one …"
"I think Chu Mu should be able to withstand a few more moves. To be safe, I bought the third one. Anyway, if I lose, I'll lose 5,000 top-grade spirit stones. If I win, I can get 10,000 top-grade spirit stones."
"I bought the third and fourth one for 30,000 top-grade spirit stones."
Chu Mu couldn't help but be speechless. He knew that he was underestimated, but he didn't expect it to be so obvious and thorough.
"Friend, which one do you want to buy? I advise you to buy the second one. Chu Mu should be able to withstand three moves from Yang Lianfeng. "Chu Mu was lining up when a swordsman behind him suddenly said to him.
"Is this Chu Mu that weak?" Chu Mu asked with a smile.
"I haven't seen this Chu Mu before, so I don't know how strong he is. However, I also heard that this Chu Mu doesn't have a backer. After obtaining the elementary sword hunter, he always goes out to hunt to earn points before entering the Enlightenment Tower. In half a year, his strength shouldn't have increased significantly. As for Yang Lianfeng, he is really powerful. In addition to the full support of the Jade Sword Gang, it is rumored that he has comprehended 60% of his sword intent." The swordsman behind Chu Mu excitedly said.
"So that's how it is." Chu Mu nodded. This was also good. At the very least, if everyone looked down on him, he would be able to gain more.
The line moved forward. Finally, it was Chu Mu's turn.
"Which one do you want to buy?" someone from the Giant Beast Bank asked.
"I bet on Chu Mu to win." Chu Mu smiled.
"Bet on Chu Mu to win? Which one …" The person nodded and repeated. Suddenly, his expression changed. He looked at Chu Mu and asked, "What did you say?"
"I bet on Chu Mu to win." Chu Mu repeated in an indifferent tone.
"Bet on Chu Mu to win? Are you crazy … "The person from the Giant Beast Bank screamed.
The other swordsmen also reacted. They were all shocked and looked at Chu Mu as if he was crazy. They thought that Chu Mu had lost his mind.
"What? You opened a gambling house, but you only dare to let people bet on Yang Lianfeng and not Chu Mu? "Chu Mu wasn't angry. Instead, he faintly smiled.
"This …" The person couldn't do anything because the bank didn't open such a gambling house.
"Since we opened a gambling house, of course, we accept any kind of bet." A voice sounded. A tall and thin old man walked out of the bank. He had his hands behind his back as if he was taking a stroll. He had a strange smile on his face. He looked at Chu Mu and said, "How do you plan to bet on Chu Mu to win? How about this? Since you want to bet on Chu Mu to win, it means that you have great confidence in Chu Mu. Then, let's play big. Bet that Chu Mu will defeat Yang Lianfeng in one move. The odds are 100 times. If you don't dare, then don't come here to make trouble. "
Chu Mu felt that the other party's expression was a bit strange, especially the other party's eyes. Maybe the other party knew him.
In that case, it wasn't so simple.
"Okay, I will bet one million top-grade spirit stones that Chu Mu will defeat Yang Lianfeng in one move." Chu Mu said without hesitation.
"One million …"
"Top-grade spirit stones …"
Suddenly, the surrounding swordsmen screamed and sucked in cold air. They were shocked.
One million top-grade spirit stones, that was a lot.
"If Chu Mu really defeats Yang Lianfeng in one move, then he can get one hundred million top-grade spirit stones …" A swordsman murmured in a daze.
One million top-grade spirit stones was indeed shocking, but it was still within the acceptable range. After all, there were many people in the Sacred City who could take out one million top-grade spirit stones.
However, one hundred million top-grade spirit stones was either a big force or a swordsman at the level of the Sword Of Gojoseon.
"How is it possible? How can Chu Mu defeat Yang Lianfeng, let alone in one move?"
In the face of the crowd's discussion, Chu Mu didn't say anything. Instead, he took out boxes of top-grade spirit stones. One box was 10,000 pieces, a total of 100 boxes.
It could be said that these top-grade spirit stones were most of Chu Mu's remaining spirit stones.
If he lost, Chu Mu's spirit stone reserve would drop to the lowest point. If he won, one hundred million top-grade spirit stones were enough to make his wealth comparable to some powerhouses at the level of the Sword Of Gojoseon.
Heaven and hell were separated by a single thought.
In the midst of the shock, the people of the Giant Beast Bank issued a gambling receipt to Chu Mu. "If Chu Mu really defeats Yang Lianfeng in one move, then you can use this receipt to receive one hundred million top-grade spirit stones from our bank. Remember, our bank only recognizes the receipt, not the person."
As he spoke, the tall and skinny old man of the bank revealed a trace of mockery, "However, I think that even if you throw away this receipt, it doesn't matter because Chu Mu will only lose under Yang Lianfeng's sword."
"Let's wait and see." Chu Mu took the receipt and put it into his interspatial ring. The tall and thin old man stared at Chu Mu's hand. His body trembled and his pupils shrank. He turned around thoughtfully and a gloomy smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
He was a deacon of the Giant Beast Bank and also had some relatives with Yang Lianfeng. It was precisely because of this that he supported Yang Lianfeng and targeted Chu Mu.
However, he saw something unusual from Chu Mu's fingers. In order to confirm whether it was true or not, he had to go back and check the relevant information. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
