On the 98 battle arena, two figures stood facing each other from a distance.
The tens of thousands of swordsmen around the battle arena were focused on the battle arena, and no one spoke.
"He is the Chu Mu you mentioned …" The teacher-in-charge said lightly.
"Yes," Ji Tianxiang said.
"Not bad." The teacher-in-charge gave a very general evaluation, but Ji Tianxiang knew that it was not easy for the teacher-in-charge to give a good evaluation. However, Chu Mu was qualified.
…
"I think you should have some understanding of me," Bi Zhongtian said. Bi Zhongtian spoke. Unknowingly, his tone carried a sliver of arrogance, as if he was looking down on Chu Mu from above.
Because he was one of the top 100 official disciples, he was qualified to do so.
"I find it hard to believe that you have already reached the Entry-Level in the field of power control." Chu Mu did not speak, so Bi Zhongtian continued, "I will say the ugly words first. If you have not reached the Entry-Level and are just making up facts to make yourself famous, I will give you an unforgettable lesson. However, if you have really reached the Entry-Level, I should be able to gain something from fighting with you. No matter what the final result is, I will pay you 100 Tianfeng coins as the price for challenging you."
Although there was a trace of arrogance in Bi Zhongtian's tone, he did not mean to look down on Chu Mu. It was just his habitual pride as one of the top 100 disciples.
"Whether it is true or not, you will know very soon," Chu Mu replied lightly.
"Okay, you go first," Bi Zhongtian's eyes lit up and said.
Chu Mu did not hold back. He unsheathed the Desolate Sky Sword and stepped forward. It was as if he was skating on ice. His whole body moved forward quickly and smoothly. His sword stabbed out as fast as lightning and as fast as the aurora.
"What a fast sword."
"Silent and undetectable."
"Your swordsmanship is not bad," the teacher-in-charge's eyes lit up as he nodded.
As soon as Chu Mu made his move, it immediately caused the tens of thousands of swordsmen below to be astonished. Amateurs were there for the excitement, while experts were there for the skill. These swordsmen's attainments in swordsmanship were not bad. With a single glance, they could tell that Chu Mu's sword was as smooth as flowing water. It was like a heavenly steed soaring through the skies.
Chu Mu made his move without holding back. Bi Zhongtian only felt a flash in front of his eyes. A cold star was already closing in on him. It was silent, but it shocked him.
Bi Zhongtian's pupils contracted rapidly. His body automatically slid backward at an extremely fast speed. At the same time, he unsheathed his sword and swung it out casually, drawing a nearly perfect trajectory in an attempt to block Chu Mu's sword.
However, Chu Mu's wrist shook slightly. His entire body seemed to have become one with the sword in his hand. With an almost undetectable movement, he easily caused Bi Zhongtian's sword to miss and the sword to come closer.
As the sword approached, Chu Mu used his power to control it. His power exploded. With the Sword Origin and physical strength as the main force, and the sword intent and profound as the support, the speed of the sword doubled. The space seemed to be pierced through. Bi Zhongtian only felt a piercing pain in his throat, as if he had been stabbed by a needle. He was shocked.
"Advanced Realm Sword!" The teacher-in-charge's pupils contracted. He subconsciously clenched his fists. He was shocked. Ji Tianxiang, on the other hand, smiled and nodded to himself. He had a look of appreciation on his face. He could tell that Chu Mu had only used the Advanced Realm Sword, and not the Advanced Realm Sword.
The Advanced Realm Sword was already very shocking. If he had used the Advanced Realm Sword, it would not only be shocking, but it would also cause unnecessary jealousy. It would lead to some terrible consequences, and he might even be assassinated.
This was also why Ji Tianxiang had told Chu Mu not to use the Advanced Realm Sword's power control unless it was absolutely necessary. He should only use the Advanced Realm Sword in front of others.
No wonder he was one of the top one hundred among the two million disciples. Although Bi Zhongtian's power control had not reached the Advanced Realm Sword, he was far better than Chu Mu in other aspects. His speed suddenly exploded. When Chu Mu's sword was about to touch his throat, he turned into a flowing light and quickly retreated. He left behind an afterimage which was pierced through by Chu Mu's sword and then shattered.
The control of power was very important, but it was only a part of a swordsman's power. It was not the whole of it. Only when all the parts of a swordsman's power were improved could the overall power be improved.
For example, a wooden bucket was made of many planks. If one of the planks was too short, the bucket would not be able to hold much water. If some of the planks were too long, the bucket would not be able to hold as much water as the longest plank. Only when the planks were flat could the bucket be filled.
Chu Mu did not chase after him.
"Good. In terms of power control, you have really reached the Advanced Realm Sword." Bi Zhongtian was very happy. His tone was a little excited, and there was a hint of admiration.
The tens of thousands of swordsmen around the arena were also very surprised. Among them, there were very few who had seen Chu Mu reach the Advanced Realm with their own eyes. The others had only heard about it.
Now that they had seen with their own eyes that Chu Mu's power control had indeed reached the Advanced Realm, they were all shocked.
"Although I have not reached the Advanced Realm, I am far better than you in other aspects." Bi Zhongtian said in an excited tone, "If I am not wrong, your sword intent and Profound Meaning have not reached the Perfect Realm. Although your power control has made your sword more powerful, you are still not my match now."
As he spoke, Bi Zhongtian rushed forward. A few afterimages were hard to distinguish. In the blink of an eye, he appeared around Chu Mu and attacked with his sword.
Bi Zhongtian's speed was very fast. When his sword was an inch away from Chu Mu, he poured his power and then exploded. The sound was shocking, and his aura was monstrous. He let out an earth-shattering roar.
Chu Mu's reaction was even faster. When he moved his feet and dodged Bi Zhongtian's sword, he raised his sword diagonally. It was still as fast as lightning and silent. When the sword touched Bi Zhongtian's protective sword aura, its power exploded weakly. After tearing through the protective sword aura, it quickly dissipated. But when it was about to touch Bi Zhongtian's skin, it gathered and exploded again.
Bi Zhongtian's afterimages were instantly shattered, but his real body appeared behind Chu Mu. He unsheathed his sword, and the Sword Light was sharp. Streaks of light descended like a storm, attacking Chu Mu's entire body.
When each Sword Light was an inch away from Chu Mu, it poured its power and then exploded. Its speed increased rapidly, and its aura was terrifying. When dozens of Sword Light were released at the same time, it was as if the mountains were collapsing.
The application of power control was not only on the sword. It could also be used on footwork. It could even be used on the sword's Sword Qi, Sword Light, and so on. However, in order to do this, the swordsman needed to have enough understanding and control.
Dozens of Sword Light exploded at the same time. Its power was too terrifying. It was as if they were going to pierce through Chu Mu's body and leave him riddled with holes.
Chu Mu's pupils contracted instantly. His mind, which had been tempered by Tempering Intent Skill, filled the surroundings. Together with his eyes, the speed of the dozens of Sword Light suddenly decreased significantly. The trajectories were faintly discernible, and Chu Mu could judge them.
Shifting his feet in a small area, Chu Mu's body was like a small boat in the middle of a stormy sea. Swaying among the dozens of violent Sword Light, he made use of the gaps between the leaves like a light breeze. He shot out unscathed, and his sword pierced towards Bi Zhongtian silently. It was as if the sword was shuttling through the void. It was hard to tell if it was real or fake, and it was faintly discernible. It made Bi Zhongtian unable to determine where the sword would land.
"Good." With a low roar, Bi Zhongtian advanced instead of retreating. As if riding the wind, his body suddenly leaped into the air. Chu Mu's sword naturally followed, and his sword pierced through the air like a fairy.
Bi Zhongtian waved his sword, and countless sword shadows splashed out. The dense sword shadows were all shattered by Chu Mu's sword. Bi Zhongtian's afterimages were also shattered in an instant, and his real body appeared on the other side once again. It was very strange.
Below the arena, tens of thousands of swordsmen held their breaths and focused on the battle between Chu Mu and Bi Zhongtian.
Every movement of Chu Mu's was integrated with the control of the Entry-Level power. The power that erupted in an instant was shocking. On the other hand, Bi Zhongtian's foundation was deep and his strength was strong. He was far above Chu Mu, and his battle experience was incomparably rich. Coupled with his control of the power, the power that erupted was not weak at all.
The battle between the two was mesmerizing to the audience.
"This Chu Mu's control of power has not only reached the Entry-Level, but he is also very proficient in the use of the Entry-Level power. It's as if he has been immersed in it for many years. It's hard to believe that he only used a little more than a month to reach this step," the head instructor murmured. The head instructor murmured. Disbelief filled his face, "A swordsman from a small world actually possesses such talent. That's just too shocking."
Ji Tianxiang smiled at the side, and there was a hint of pride in his expression. It was as if Chu Mu was nurtured by him.
"Tianxiang, after his battle with Bi Zhongtian is over, bring him to see me," the head instructor said. As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward, and his figure quickly faded. Only a shadow was left on the spot, and he appeared thousands of meters away and quickly left.
The battle between Chu Mu and Bi Zhongtian was still ongoing. Bi Zhongtian's goal was to experience the power of the Entry-Level power.
The other swordsmen who had reached the Entry-Level were all stronger than him. They could defeat him with just a few moves, and he could not deeply experience the power of the Entry-Level power.
Chu Mu had reached the Entry-Level, but his overall strength was not as good as Bi Zhongtian's. He was a very suitable opponent.
Fight, fight, fight!
Bi Zhongtian's strength brought great pressure to Chu Mu. Under this pressure, Chu Mu's potential was constantly stimulated. The swordsmanship that he had comprehended at Sword Observation Peak was also integrated into his own swordsmanship, causing his swordsmanship attainments to begin to improve. Every sword move became more profound.
Under Chu Mu's continuous use of the Entry-Level power, he became more and more proficient. It was almost instinctive.
Bi Zhongtian used Chu Mu as a sparring partner and had a deep understanding of the Entry-Level power. Chu Mu also used Bi Zhongtian as a sparring partner. He displayed his swordsmanship to his heart's content, stimulating his own potential bit by bit and becoming stronger.
The tens of thousands of swordsmen below the arena were mesmerized. Their hearts were stimulated and shocked time and time again. This was the impact that Chu Mu had brought. (To be continued.
