Chu Mu brought the young man to wash up and change into a clean set of clothes. Then, he brought him to the pavilion in Xingyun Court to meet Chu Mu. As for Chu Zheng, he was taken away by his mother, Li Wenxiu.
After washing up, the young man's skin was a little rough and bronze. His cheeks were slightly sunken. It was obvious that his life was not going well.
He stood in front of Chu Mu and looked at Chu Mu without saying a word. His eyes were filled with curiosity.
"What's your name?" Chu Mu asked gently.
"Ah Luan." The young man did not hesitate and gave a short answer. It was obvious that he was not good with words.
"You don't have a surname?" Chu Mu asked again.
"No." The young man said.
"Tell me about your background." Chu Mu asked again.
Just like that, through the questions and answers, Chu Mu gradually gained a deeper understanding of the young man.
Ah Luan, 14 years old, was from the Da Kun Dynasty. He left his parents when he was a baby and was adopted by an old man who sold vegetables for a living. He liked to practice swordsmanship since he was young.
However, he did not have money and neither did the old man. When he was 10 years old, the old man used the money he earned from selling vegetables to buy him a book on basic swordsmanship. He also used a piece of bamboo to make a bamboo sword for him as a birthday gift.
He did not cultivate Qi and only practiced basic swordsmanship. In four years, he was able to reach the standard of Chu Mu's assessment and pass the second round. This showed that his comprehension was not weak. The actual combat in the third round also showed the young man's talent in combat.
Chu Mu's Sword Observation Technique could observe swords and people. This young man named Ah Luan was not a scheming person. His heart was unyielding and tenacious. This kind of temperament was to Chu Mu's liking.
Chu Mu decided to take the young man as his disciple.
"From now on, your surname will be Chu. If you see your parents again one day, change back to your surname," Chu Mu said to the young man.
The young man's eyes trembled. He had lived a hard life since young and was very independent. He was more sensible than his peers. Therefore, he immediately understood the meaning of Chu Mu's words.
"Chu Luan greets Master." The young man immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times.
"Get up. There are no rules when learning the sword from me. Just follow your heart and have a clear conscience," Chu Mu said with a smile.
After that, Chu Luan stayed in the Chu family. The old man who took him in was also brought to the Chu family to enjoy his life. The news of Chu Mu taking in a disciple was spread out. The three tests were canceled. Countless people felt sad and left helplessly.
Chu Luan's Basic Swordsmanship was practiced by himself from a book. He did not receive any guidance from anyone because he did not have the chance.
Chu Mu taught his disciples from two aspects. The first was the principles, some of which he himself had comprehended about the sword and the principles of being a person. To learn the sword, one must first know how to be a person and have a good character.
The second was cultivation, true cultivation.
Chu Mu first let Chu Luan practice the Basic Swordsmanship. After Chu Luan finished, he held his sword and stood there without moving. He waited for Chu Mu to speak.
He seemed to be practicing very well. However, in the eyes of Chu Mu, he could see many flaws. Of course, for someone who had only practiced for four years and had not received any guidance, Chu Luan was already doing very well. Most swordsmen would not be able to do as well as Chu Luan under such circumstances.
"You have a certain foundation. Next, it's time to give you guidance," Chu Mu said.
As for Chu Luan's cultivation method, it was the Mixed Yuan Art.
The name of the Mixed Yuan Art was a little common, but it was not ordinary at all. It was a Heaven Level Middle Level cultivation method. The sword Qi cultivated was very solid. It was twice as pure and dense as swordsmen of the same level.
Of course, the cultivation of the Mixed Yuan Art was not that easy.
Although Chu Luan's comprehension was not as good as Chu Mu's, it was not bad. Under Chu Mu's guidance, he used three days to grasp the basics of the Mixed Yuan Art. He also cultivated a trace of the Mixed Yuan Sword Qi and stepped into the first stage of the Sword Qi Art.
During this period of time, Chu Dangxiong had found Chu Mu and suggested that since Chu Mu was teaching disciples, shouldn't he also give pointers to the Chu Family disciples? Chu Mu thought for a while and decided to use pointers as an excuse to secretly pick out a group of outstanding disciples from the Chu Family and train them together to create a sword guard to protect the Chu Family's safety.
After a few days of selection, twelve people were chosen. The oldest was twenty years old and the youngest was seventeen. Their talent was not bad. Although they could not be compared to Chu Luan, they could be considered one of the best in Kaiyang City.
Chu Mu indeed wanted better candidates, but there was no other way. The current Chu Clan was at this level.
Among the twelve Chu Clan disciples, the highest was at the tenth stage of the Sword Qi Realm. The lowest was at the eighth stage of the Sword Qi Realm. Chu Mu immediately let them cultivate the Sword Qi Art.
The Ao Xuan Scripture!
The Ao Xuan Scripture was another technique that Chu Mu had obtained. It was a low grade Heaven Level technique. Although it was not as good as the Mixed Yuan Art, it was still very good. Chu Mu felt that it was valuable, so he kept it.
The Ao Xuan Scripture was different from the Primordial Scripture. The Sword Qi that was cultivated was not as pure and thick as the Primordial Scripture, but it was very sharp. Moreover, the cultivation speed was several times faster than the Primordial Scripture.
It was not that Chu Mu was reluctant to let these twelve people cultivate the Mixed Yuan Art. The main reason was that they were to be cultivated into a secret force of the Chu Clan. They were different from ordinary Sword Guards. They must have strong battle strength. However, the cultivation speed of the Mixed Yuan Art was too slow. Who knew how many years it would take for them to form a powerful battle strength.
The Ao Xuan Scripture was the best choice. It did not have any special attributes. Any body could cultivate it. The Ao Xuan Sword Qi that was cultivated was very sharp. Moreover, there was a sword manual, a footwork, and a secret technique. The first part of the sword manual was called the Ao Xuan Thirteen Styles. Each style was fiercer than the last. The second part was the three Ao Xuan Sword Skills. The footwork was called the Ao Xuan Ascending Heaven Steps. The secret technique was a secret technique to increase one's strength. It was called the Ao Xuan White Head. It was divided into three levels. Cultivating to the third level could increase the power of the Ao Xuan Sword Qi by two times.
Because of the Ao Xuan Scripture, this group of Sword Guards was also named the Ao Xuan Sword Guards by Chu Mu.
Time flew by. It had been more than four months since Chu Mu returned to the Chu Clan.
After a month of cultivation, his basic Sword Arts had improved further. His Sword Qi cultivation had also reached the fifth level of the Sword Qi Realm. On one hand, his cultivation talent was good, reaching the fifth level. On the other hand, he was very hardworking. He knew that this kind of opportunity did not come easily. On the other hand, Chu Mu had provided him with high level pills with extremely low side effects. On the other hand, it was the effect of the Mixed Yuan Art. Although the cultivation speed was slower, it had the advantage of having a solid foundation.
As for the twelve Ao Xuan Sword Guards, their cultivation had also broken through the Sword Qi Realm and reached the Qi Transformation Realm.
They had cultivated a Heaven Level Lower Level Technique. Their Sword Qi was very terrifying. In the Great Kun Dynasty, most of the swordsmen of the same level could not compete with them. Only a few true geniuses could defeat them.
However, this was still not enough. This was only the beginning.
Chu Mu did everything he could to train them. In addition to Sword Qi and Sword Arts, he also tempered their bodies. He gave them pointers and taught them a sword formation. This sword formation was called Sword Rain Sword Formation. It required at least two people to set it up. The more people there were, the stronger the sword formation. When the twelve Ao Xuan Sword Guards were proficient in setting up the formation, the strength they could display was very terrifying.
In the fifth month since Chu Mu returned to the Chu Clan, Chu Mu began to let Chu Luan and the Ao Xuan Sword Guards spar with Sword Arts. The swords used were wooden swords. The requirement was that they had the same Sword Qi cultivation. They also protected their vital parts. This was because Chu Mu wanted them to fight with Sword Arts. They treated each other as if they were mortal enemies and did not hold back.
Therefore, injuries were unavoidable. Fortunately, Chu Mu had enough pills. They could recover by the next day and continue to spar.
Under this kind of sparring, Chu Luan and the Ao Xuan Sword Guards' Sword Arts improved rapidly. And Chu Luan also gave Chu Mu an unexpected surprise.
When Chu Luan was fighting, Chu Mu noticed that his body's movements were faster than his consciousness. After a few observations, Chu Mu was finally sure that this was the case. But why was this so? Chu Mu was puzzled.
Normal people would use their consciousness to control their body. Even if it was an instinct, it was still subconsciously controlled. For Chu Luan, his body's reaction was before his consciousness. It felt as if his body had its own consciousness.
Chu Mu searched through the information he had read and finally found an explanation.
Sword Body!
Chu Luan had an innate Sword Body. Moreover, it was the extremely rare Heavenly Martial Sword Body.
Heavenly Martial Sword Body, non-elemental, born for battle!
This was the introduction of the Heavenly Martial Sword Body. It was very simple, but it contained a lot of information.
The Heavenly Martial Sword Body was not like the Wind Spirit Sword Body, Gold Spirit Sword Body, etc. It had no elemental attributes. It could not be used to increase one's cultivation. It only had one use, battle.
Just like Chu Luan, his Heavenly Martial Sword Body reacted faster than his consciousness. Moreover, that reaction was the most accurate reaction.
"If Chu Luan could master his Heavenly Martial Sword Body and fully unleash its abilities …" Chu Mu's heart trembled when he thought of this. Perhaps when he reached that level, with the same strength, he would not be able to defeat Chu Luan.
Since he understood that Chu Mu's body was special, he had to make some changes to his teaching. This adjustment was to let Chu Luan adapt to his Heavenly Martial Sword Body. Gradually, his consciousness would catch up with his body's reaction and then surpass it. Then, he would be able to control it.
Without a doubt, this would be a long and difficult process. Chu Mu did not have enough time. He could only lay down a foundation for Chu Luan. In the future, he would have to rely on his own efforts.
Time passed day by day. Every day, Chu Luan and Swordsman Ao Xuan were improving. Finally, more than eight months had passed …
