From beginning to end, Chu Mu had used a total of four hours to comprehend the Sword Observing Peak, two hours more than normal swordsmen. This situation was noticed by a few swordsmen.
Although one could come to Sword Observation Peak to study at any time, one still needed to wait for a second time after a period of time. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any effect and it would be a waste of time.
Standing up and putting away the mat, Chu Mu took the opportunity to check on the fledgling sword soul in his mental world. He discovered that the fledgling sword soul was more condensed than four hours ago. It had increased by about ten percent. It was very obvious.
As for the sword intent, it had reached 82% and was even purer than before.
Before he started studying Sword Observation Peak, Chu Mu's sword intent was at 80%. In just four hours, his sword intent had increased by twenty percent. It had to be said that this was a godly speed. It was many times faster than the famous sword tower in the Ancient Sword Continent.
"As expected of the Primordial World …" Chu Mu couldn't help but sigh.
The cultivation environment of the Primordial World was indeed many times better than the Ancient Sword Continent. It was normal for the swordsmen here to be stronger than the swordsmen of the Ancient Sword Continent.
However, it was different now. After coming to the Primordial World and enjoying the cultivation resources here, Chu Mu firmly believed that he could become stronger and go further than the swordsmen of the Primordial World.
"At this speed, it won't take long for my sword intent to reach perfection." Chu Mu thought to himself as he left Sword Observation Peak.
If he was in the Ancient Sword Continent, it would take at least a few years to comprehend sword intent to perfection.
After returning to the Sword Tower, he was stopped by Jiang Chuan just as he was about to enter his bedroom.
"Brother Chu, someone sent a card over just now. He specifically said that he wanted to give it to you." Jiang Chuan took out a card and handed it to Chu Mu.
Chu Mu took it and saw that it was a challenge card.
There were two types of challenges between the Sky Edge Sword Palace disciples. One was a casual challenge, which was to immediately challenge someone. After the person agreed, they would immediately go to the nearest arena and fight.
The other was a more formal challenge, which was to issue a challenge card first.
The second type of challenge was usually something that only the stronger swordsmen would do. They would first send out a challenge card to show their respect. In fact, after receiving the challenge card, the other party couldn't reject it. Either they didn't accept the challenge card, or they had to accept the challenge. Otherwise, they would be despised by other swordsmen.
Chu Mu did not know, and neither did Jiang Chuan.
The owner of the challenge card was called Bi Zhongtian. The content of the card was very simple. It stated that the time of the challenge was tomorrow morning, and the location was Sky Edge Sword Palace's 98th arena.
"I'll go and find out who this Bi Zhongtian is." Jiang Chuan said and immediately left the Sword Tower.
Four hours later, someone knocked on Chu Mu's bedroom door. Jiang Chuan stood in front of the door and looked at Chu Mu apologetically. "Brother Chu, I'm really sorry. Let me take this challenge."
"Why?" Chu Mu was puzzled.
After Jiang Chuan's explanation, Chu Mu finally understood the reason.
It turned out that Bi Zhongtian was recognized as one of the top hundred official disciples of the Sky Edge Sword Palace. In terms of ranking, he was ranked 99th.
Although this ranking had not been verified, it was recognized and very appropriate.
However, when Jiang Chuan heard the news, his face turned green.
The Sky Edge Sword Palace had a total of two million official disciples. Ignoring the small number, Bi Zhongtian could be ranked in the top hundred among these two million people. How terrifying was his strength?
Jiang Chuan didn't believe that Chu Mu was a match for Bi Zhongtian, even if Chu Mu grasped the control of power.
He also learned about the so-called challenge card. He knew that once he accepted the challenge card, it was equivalent to accepting the challenge. He was furious and anxious at the same time. Therefore, he immediately ran back.
"Brother Chu, since I'm the one who accepted the challenge card, you have every reason to reject the challenge." Jiang Chuan said after he finished explaining.
"Top hundred official disciples. I also want to see that kind of strength." Chu Mu smiled and said. The way he looked at Jiang Chuan changed. Jiang Chuan's actions made Chu Mu feel that he was someone he could befriend.
Chu Mu wouldn't blindly make friends. To be his friend, one didn't have to have amazing talent, high cultivation, or powerful strength. However, it had to be to his liking. Obviously, Jiang Chuan already had such qualifications.
"Alright." Jiang Chuan looked at Chu Mu's eyes and knew that he had made up his mind and couldn't change it. He could only smile bitterly and apologize in his heart.
"Brother Jiang, you don't have to feel guilty. The reason Bi Zhongtian challenged me is probably because my control of power has reached the Advanced Realm. Even if I reject this time, he will still issue another challenge. Perhaps others will do the same. In short, a battle is unavoidable." Chu Mu said.
Hearing Chu Mu's words, Jiang Chuan thought about it and felt a little better in his heart.
"Today, I went to Sword Observation Peak to comprehend and learned something. Brother Jiang, if you have time, you can also go to Sword Observation Peak to take a look." Chu Mu said again.
"Okay, I will definitely go back. I won't disturb Brother Chu. Tomorrow morning, I will go to Sword Battle Arena with Brother Chu." Jiang Chuan said and tactfully excused himself.
Chu Mu closed the bedroom door and sat cross-legged on the bed. He recalled what he had learned from Sword Observation Peak and the swordsmanship he had fought with the giant sword.
At the beginning, although the swordsmanship displayed by the giant sword was profound, it was still within the range that Chu Mu could bear. Later, it became more and more profound until it exceeded Chu Mu's level. Chu Mu was then defeated.
In his mind, the profound swordsmanship displayed by the giant sword was clearly replaying over and over again. Chu Mu's swordsmanship was also improving at an indiscernible speed.
…
At dawn, many swordsmen went to Sword Battle Arena one after another. They had all heard that Bi Zhongtian, one of the top 100 official disciples, had issued a challenge card to a swordsman from one of the nine small worlds.
"With Bi Zhongtian's strength, he could probably defeat his opponent with one strike. What's the point of such a challenge?"
"I think so too. For Bi Zhongtian, only those who are ranked above him can make him fight to his heart's content. Those bumpkins from the small worlds are probably no match for us. What's the point of fighting with them?"
"You don't know about this. Among the swordsmen from the small worlds, there is an amazing person."
"How is he amazing?"
"That swordsman is called Chu Mu. In terms of power control, he has already reached the Advanced Realm. I saw it with my own eyes." There was obviously a hint of bragging in his voice. Perhaps even this swordsman didn't know what he was bragging about.
"What!"
"Advanced Realm!"
"Impossible!"
Exclamations rose one after another. No one believed that a swordsman from the small worlds had not only mastered power control, but also reached the Advanced Realm.
It should be known that every one of them had devoted themselves to the cultivation of power control for at least three years. However, most of them were now stuck at the superficial level. Some of them had reached the Advanced Realm. It could be said that most of the official disciples were stuck outside the Advanced Realm.
Even the top 100 official disciples were only rumored to have reached the Advanced Realm in terms of power control. However, it was not confirmed after all.
What did they just hear? A swordsman from the small worlds had reached the Advanced Realm in terms of power control?
Was it a fantasy?
Or were they hallucinating?
Although they had never been to the small worlds, they already knew that there was no cultivation of power control in the small worlds. In other words, the swordsman called Chu Mu had understood power control in a short period of time and reached the Advanced Realm.
It was like a dream.
"If this is true, no wonder Bi Zhongtian would challenge him regardless of his status."
"Let's go. Let's speed up and get to the front."
…
"Chu Mu, a swordsman from the small worlds, has actually reached the Advanced Realm in terms of power control. This is really interesting."
"There aren't many people who are so interesting. We can't let him go."
"What's so interesting about him? He is most likely trying to please the crowd by resorting to trickery to gain fame."
"If he is fake, all the more we have to go and take a look. We have to see what kind of person has such courage."
Many swordsmen who heard the news rushed to the No. 98 arena. Even the swordsmen who were in the top 100 were moving. Although they were not going to fight personally, they might be able to gain something by watching from the side.
Most importantly, they had doubts in their hearts. They did not believe that a swordsman from the small worlds could cultivate power control to the Advanced Realm in such a short period of time. After all, this news was spread by the swordsmen from the same Sword Seminar Room as Chu Mu. The Sky Edge Sword Palace did not have any official confirmation.
…
"Tianxiang, is the Chu Mu you mentioned not here yet?" In a remote corner of the No. 98 arena, two middle-aged men were sitting. One of them was the four-star Sword Of Gojoseon, Ji Tianxiang. The other one looked slightly older and asked with a calm expression.
"The head instructor hasn't arrived yet," Ji Tianxiang replied in a respectful tone.
"Are you sure that his power control has really reached the Advanced Realm?" the head instructor asked again.
"One hundred percent sure," Ji Tianxiang said seriously.
The head instructor nodded and did not say anything else. He sat there quietly, waiting for Chu Mu to arrive.
There were more and more people around the No. 98 arena. At this moment, a figure leaped over and landed on the arena. It was a young swordsman in a green robe with long hair. He looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. His eyes were bright and full of spirit. He was Bi Zhongtian.
"Is Chu Mu here yet?" Bi Zhongtian asked. His voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the arena and fell into everyone's ears. Immediately, many people looked around, looking for Chu Mu.
"Chu Mu is here. Everyone, please make way." A voice rang out, instantly attracting the attention of all the swordsmen.
The person who shouted was Jiang Chuan. Because the arena was crowded with at least ten thousand people, there was no way to enter.
The swordsmen consciously opened up a path for Chu Mu. Jiang Chuan and Ding Xuan also took this opportunity to squeeze to the edge of the arena. (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.)
