As Chu Mu walked, a figure flashed in front of him. Someone was blocking his path.
"You finally came out. Now, let's talk about this. You stole my spot and caused me to waste a lot of time and losses." The person blocking Chu Mu sneered.
Chu Mu turned around and saw that it was the person who wanted to snatch the spot of the Sword Cleansing Pool, but was one step slower. His words made Chu Mu laugh.
"How do I settle this?" Chu Mu couldn't help but ask with a faint smile.
"Very simple. You have two choices." The other party revealed a mocking smile and a sharp light shot out from his eyes. "The first choice is to give me one thousand Sky Edge Coins as compensation. Then, I will not pursue this matter."
It was a typical greedy demand. Chu Mu only had one hundred Sky Edge Coins now, and that was because of the challenge fee paid by Bi Zhongtian.
Chu Mu didn't get angry. Instead, he asked calmly, "What's the second choice?"
"The second choice is a little unpleasant." The other party squinted his eyes and the sharp light became sharp. It was as if he wanted to pierce through Chu Mu's head. His tone also became cold. "Go to the Sword Battle Arena and speak with your strength."
"I will choose the second choice." Chu Mu said indifferently.
"Very good. You will regret it." The other party's pupils shrank and his expression became even colder. Soon after, he smiled and walked towards the nearby Sword Battle Arena.
"It just so happens that my strength has increased …" Chu Mu thought to himself and walked towards the nearby Sword Battle Arena.
There were two people fighting on the Sword Battle Arena. Below the arena, there were thousands of swordsmen watching.
"Come down. I want to use this Sword Battle Arena." The swordsman who threatened Chu Mu directly jumped onto the Sword Battle Arena and shouted rudely.
"Who are you?" The two swordsmen who were interrupted shouted angrily.
"I am Jin Mulei. I will say it again. I want to use the Sword Battle Arena now. Get down immediately." Jin Mulei shouted without any trace of politeness.
"Jin Mulei!"
Chu Mu realized that when the swordsmen heard this name, their expressions all changed. The two swordsmen on the Sword Duel Stage did not say anything and immediately jumped off the stage, giving it to Jin Mulei.
"This Jin Mu Lei seems to be infamous …" Chu Mu thought to himself.
This kind of person was either very powerful, so powerful that it was frightening, or he had a powerful backer with a powerful background.
Chu Mu felt that Jin Mulei might be the latter. As for whether it was true or not, he would know after they fought.
"You, come up." Jin Mulei pointed at Chu Mu and used a commanding tone.
Chu Mu leaped and landed on the arena.
"Who is that? Seems like he offended Jin Mulei. "
"How unlucky."
"Of all the people you could offend, you chose to offend Jin Mulei. Don't you know that Jin Mulei is a tyrant among the official disciples?"
"Take out your sword. I will let you know how stupid it is to go up on the arena with me." Jin Mulei sneered. As soon as he finished speaking, a clanging sound was heard. He had already unsheathed his sword and thrusted it out. This sword was combined with his footwork and was extremely fast. It was like a bolt of lightning that pierced through the sky.
When the sword was two inches away from Chu Mu, he poured in his power and exploded. Lightning flashed and thunder exploded. That sword was like a real bolt of lightning that split the sky and struck towards Chu Mu. It was extremely powerful.
The power that Jin Mulei displayed was even stronger than Peng Quan. Among the official disciples of the Sky Edge Sword Palace, he was considered to be in the upper echelon.
Chu Mu took a step forward like he was gliding on ice, causing Jin Mulei's sword to miss. Jin Mulei's reaction was extremely fast. He twisted his wrist and the sword that was thrusting out was immediately sliced to the side. The power on top of the sword was even stronger and sharper. It seemed like it was going to cut off Chu Mu's head.
However, the sharp sword missed again. Jin Mulei saw a cold light from the corner of his eyes. It was soundless and extremely fast. The hair on his neck stood up, and he felt a chill down his spine.
His protective sword aura was instantly torn apart. Just as Jin Mulei was about to back off, the sword had already reached his body.
It was too fast.
Instantly, Jin Mulei was shrouded by the shadow of death. If this sword landed, his neck would be cut off.
Just as he was about to open his mouth and shout, Chu Mu twisted his wrist. The sword that was sliced out changed into a slap. He poured in his power and instantly exploded. The sword landed on Jin Mulei's chest. Peng!
Jin Mulei's body suddenly shook. He flew out as if he was struck by lightning. The powerful power instantly went through his protective armor and landed on his chest. He could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood. His entire body spun in the air and landed on the arena. He looked extremely miserable.
Below the arena, thousands of swordsmen were all dumbfounded. They stared at Chu Mu blankly.
Jin Mulei struggled to get up. He felt a burning pain in his chest every time he breathed. He spat out a mouthful of blood and with a pale face, he stared fiercely at Chu Mu, "Leave your name."
"Chu Mu." Chu Mu glanced at Jin Mulei and said indifferently. He jumped down from the arena and left in big strides.
"Chu Mu …"
"He is Chu Mu …"
"Indeed powerful. That sword has really reached the Advanced Realm."
The swordsmen were startled. They then started to discuss. They had heard of Chu Mu's name before, but they had never seen him in person. Therefore, before Chu Mu said his name, they did not know that he was Chu Mu.
"Chu Mu!" Jin Mulei's pale face was gloomy. His eyes were shining fiercely as he stared at Chu Mu's back. He gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice.
Before, Jin Mulei didn't know Chu Mu. He had just finished a mission and came back. The moment he came back, he heard that an incredible person had appeared amongst the official disciples. This person came from one of the nine small worlds. In a situation where the environment and resources weren't as good as theirs, this person only used a short month to train his strength control to the initial entry level in strength control.
This kind of talent was simply unheard of. It was abnormally terrifying.
At first, he thought that it was a lie. He did not know who had made it up. Now that he had experienced it himself, he knew that it was not a lie. It was the truth.
Jin Mulei had never thought that he would have a grudge with such a person.
"This matter is over …" Jin Mulei told himself secretly.
Although he relied on his powerful background to dominate the official disciples and became a tyrant that no one dared to mess with, he was not stupid. He knew that a person like Chu Mu would definitely be valued. He would be heavily trained and his future achievements would not be low. Even if they could not become friends, it would be best not to become enemies.
…
"Have you heard? Jin Yiba offended Chu Mu and was sent flying by Chu Mu on the Sword Arena …"
"What happened? Tell me the details."
Jin Mulei had always been known as a tyrant among the official disciples. Many swordsmen had been bullied by him before. They were angry but did not dare to say anything. Even swordsmen who were stronger than Jin Mulei were not willing to have a conflict with him. They tolerated it as much as possible because Jin Mulei had a powerful background.
Now that they heard that Jin Mulei had suffered a loss on the Sword Arena and was even sent flying by a single sword, they were all delighted.
Especially the other person involved in this incident. It was Chu Mu who had been in the limelight recently. This incident had further increased the attention of the public and Chu Mu's reputation had increased greatly.
"This Chu Mu is indeed powerful. He has only been cultivating in our Sky Edge Sword Palace for slightly more than a month and his strength has already reached such a level. He defeated Jin Mulei with a single sword. It seems like his strength has already reached the standard of an official disciple."
"Jin Mulei is a narrow-minded person. He will definitely seek revenge after suffering a loss."
"Jin Mulei is nothing to worry about. The key is his background. If he wants to deal with Chu Mu, the current Chu Mu will not be able to handle it. He might even die prematurely."
"Don't worry. Although Jin Mulei is narrow-minded, he is not stupid. For a genius like Chu Mu, as long as he does not die prematurely, his future achievements will definitely surpass Jin Mulei. He is not someone that Jin Mulei can contend with."
Jin Mulei, who was at the center of the incident, almost exploded in anger after hearing the discussions of the swordsmen. He was indeed narrow-minded and a narrow-minded person would not allow others to talk about him like that.
However, there were too many people talking about him. No matter how capable Jin Mulei was, he could not deal with so many people. Moreover, Jin Mulei had already reported Chu Mu's incident to his background, which was his elder brother, Jin Yanlei.
Not only did Jin Yanlei not allow Jin Mulei to seek revenge, he even asked Jin Mulei to represent him to recruit Chu Mu. This made Jin Mulei even more unhappy.
…
"What's the matter?" Outside the Sword Tower, Chu Mu looked at Jin Mulei and said with an indifferent tone.
"I have already let bygones be bygones." Jin Mulei stared at Chu Mu and said with an unhappy face. Then, he sneered and said with an arrogant tone, "You are very lucky to be favored by my elder brother. This is the invitation he gave you."
As he spoke, a palm-sized card appeared in Jin Mulei's hand and he threw it out. It spun at high speed and cut through the air, drawing an arc in the air and shooting towards Chu Mu.
"Even if the top hundred disciples want to join my elder brother's Demon Slaying Battle Team, they would have to go through many tests. You are very lucky. With this invitation, you can directly become a reserve member of the Demon Slaying Battle Team. Once you become an elite disciple, you will directly become an official member of the Demon Slaying Battle Team. Many people will be envious of you. "Jin Mulei said with a weird tone," Keep that invitation well. It is a treasure that countless people will fight for. If you lose it, it will be a blasphemy to the Demon Slaying Battle Team. The consequences will be severe. "
Chu Mu didn't even take the card. Instead, he flicked his finger, and the card flew back to him.
"Since it is a treasure that countless people will fight for, I don't think I can afford to lose it." Chu Mu said indifferently. He turned around and walked into the Sword Tower, ignoring Jin Mulei.
"Stop!" Jin Mulei caught the card and rushed forward.
However, the seal of the Sword Tower was activated, preventing Jin Mulei from entering. He could only watch as Chu Mu disappeared in front of his eyes.
"Damn it!" Jin Mulei kicked the seal of the Sword Tower fiercely. This was a mission given to him by his elder brother. He had to complete it and add new blood to the Demon Slaying Battle Team. However, he messed it up.
When he returned, he would definitely be scolded by his elder brother.
"Since you are so cruel, then don't blame me." Jin Mulei's eyes flickered. In order to not be scolded and take revenge on Chu Mu, he decided to make some changes to his report. (To be continued.
