"Try to clench your fist tightly. Fill your entire arm with power and punch with all your might."
"Then try to relax your arm and fist. When your punch is about to hit the target you imagined, then burst out with power. Carefully feel the difference between the two methods. Once you understand it, you will naturally understand the essence of power control."
Chu Mu said to the people in front of him.
There were three of them. The first one was Su Haosha. The second one with slender eyebrows was Jiang Li, who came from the Aojian Continent. The last one was an outrageously handsome man who looked less than thirty years old. In fact, he was close to forty years old. His name was Ji Lingfeng, and he came from the Divine Sword Continent.
Previously, Chu Mu was practicing swordsmanship on the first floor of the Sword Tower. He had integrated the power of the domain of swordsmanship and the control of power at the Boundary Realm. He had used Sword Origin and Sword Intent and Profound, or Sword Origin and Sword Intent and Mountain Quake Energy to carefully feel the rhythm.
Su Haosha and the other two came to Chu Mu to ask for guidance on power control.
What was interesting was that all three of them were recipients of unparalleled glory. Su Haosha received the glory of unparalleled battle prowess, Jiang Li received the glory of unparalleled perception and battle prowess, and Ji Lingfeng received the glory of unparalleled swordsmanship and battle prowess.
At the beginning, Jiang Li and Ji Lingfeng weren't convinced of Chu Mu's strength. After exchanging blows with Chu Mu, they lost under Chu Mu's sword in a single strike. They were convinced and sincerely asked for advice on how to train their strength control faster and better.
Chu Mu did not hide anything and used simple examples to explain the so-called power control to the three of them.
The three of them were among the top swordsmen of the nine continents in every aspect. After hearing Chu Mu's simple explanation, they immediately gained something.
However, their comprehension was not as good as Chu Mu's. They also did not have the foundation of swordsmanship and various theories like Chu Mu. They only had a preliminary understanding.
"Thank you for your guidance. If you have any errands for me in the future, I will not refuse." Jiang Li saluted with his sword and said solemnly.
Su Haosha and Chu Mu had known each other for a long time and had quite a good relationship. He didn't say any polite words, but solemnly performed a sword salute to Chu Mu. As for the enviously handsome Ji Lingfeng, he had a smile on his face and also performed a sword salute to Chu Mu. He said, "I will remember your kindness in guiding me."
"It's nothing." Chu Mu smiled faintly.
"We'll take our leave first." Chu Mu explained. Although Chu Mu's explanation was simple, they had gained something from it. This time, they were going to return to their respective sword towers to carefully comprehend it and step into the door of strength control.
…
Chu Mu was not a saint, but if someone sincerely asked him for guidance, he would be willing to give them a few pointers. He also had a vague thought in his heart that he hoped the swordsmen of the nine continents could become stronger and make the swordsmen of the Immemorial World look at them in a different light.
However, Chu Mu would not take the initiative to find the swordsmen of the nine continents and give them pointers. That was not in line with Chu Mu's character, and they might not accept it.
For example, if Su Haosha and the other two came to him in person with a very sincere attitude, Chu Mu would naturally not refuse or hide anything.
"The sword intent and the profound of tearing have reached ninety-nine percent. At the very least, I still need to enter the Sword Cleansing Pool and the Xuantian Wall once before I can comprehend the sword intent and the profound of tearing to perfection."
Thinking of this, Chu Mu could not help but touch the intermediate space ring on his left hand. There were one hundred Sky Edge Coins in it, which was the challenge fee given by Bi Zhongtian.
However, whether it was the Sword Cleansing Pool or the Xuantian Wall, one had to pay two hundred Sky Edge Coins each time. After calculating, Chu Mu still lacked three hundred Sky Edge Coins, which was the best result. If he could not reach perfection in the sword intent and the profound of tearing after entering the Sword Cleansing Pool or the Xuantian Wall again, he would have to enter again, which would require even more Sky Edge Coins.
"I have to find a way to earn enough Sky Edge Coins." Chu Mu thought to himself. He thought about the various ways to earn Sky Edge Coins recorded in the "Sword Palace Overview".
Doing missions was one of the most common methods. Depending on the difficulty of the mission, the amount of Sky Edge Coins one would receive after completing the mission would be different. The lowest reward would be a few Sky Edge Coins, while the highest reward would be a few hundred Sky Edge Coins.
However, missions with high rewards were usually harder to complete, and might even require more time. The head instructor had only given Chu Mu half a year's time, and almost a month had passed.
There were still a little more than five months left. Chu Mu was confident that he could reach perfection in both the sword intent and the profound of tearing within this period of time. However, he could reach his goal faster and reach a higher realm. Why not?
Thinking about it again, Chu Mu's eyes lit up. He had found a way to earn enough Sky Edge Coins in a short period of time.
In the official disciple area of the Sky Edge Sword Palace, there was a very special training area called the Puppet Sword Array. As the name suggested, it was a sword array formed by sword puppets. According to the description in the "Sword Palace Overview", the first time one attempted the Puppet Sword Array, there was a possibility of obtaining Sky Edge Coins as a reward.
However, there was a precondition for attempting the Puppet Sword Array, which was to pay a hundred Sky Edge Coins as a fee. After passing the second stage, the hundred Sky Edge Coins would be returned. After passing the third stage, the hundred Sky Edge Coins would be returned. After passing the fourth stage, the reward would be two hundred Sky Edge Coins.
If Chu Mu wanted to earn three hundred Sky Edge Coins, he only needed to pass the fourth stage. If he passed the fifth stage, the reward would be four hundred Sky Edge Coins, and so on. Every time he passed a stage, the Sky Edge Coins he received would double the previous stage's reward.
Once he made his decision, Chu Mu immediately took action. He quickly left the Sword Tower and headed for the Puppet Sword Array area.
The Sky Edge Sword Palace occupied an extremely large area with distinct areas. From the Sword Tower area to the Puppet Sword Array area, it took Chu Mu an hour. This was under the condition that he was walking at a fast pace. If it was a normal person, they would need at least fourteen to fourteen hours or even longer to reach the Puppet Sword Array area.
Within the Puppet Sword Array area, there were a total of a hundred sword arrays. Around every sword array, there were many sword practitioners. There were at least a thousand of them. They were observing the people attempting the Puppet Sword Array, pointing and commenting.
Chu Mu first headed to the administrative office of the Puppet Sword Array area. After paying the one hundred Sky Edge Coins, he obtained the qualification to attempt the Puppet Sword Array and a number plate. He then approached one of the Puppet Sword Arrays. At this moment, there was a sword practitioner attempting the Puppet Sword Array, and he was in an intense battle with the Puppet Sword Array.
The first stage of the Puppet Sword Array had two Sword Puppets standing on the left and right. The sword practitioner attempting the Puppet Sword Array had already passed the first stage and was in an intense battle with the Sword Puppets in the second stage.
The second stage of the Puppet Sword Array was formed by three Sword Puppets, forming a triangle. It was a type of Tripartite Sword Array.
Each of the three Sword Puppets could control their power. Although they had yet to reach the Advanced realm, their overall strength was comparable to the upper echelon of the Sky Edge Sword Palace's official disciples. With three Sword Puppets of such strength working together to deal with the challenger, only a peak official disciple would be able to defeat them.
Furthermore, the three Sword Puppets formed a Sword Array, which was even more powerful and difficult to deal with. A normal peak official disciple would have a hard time dealing with it, let alone four Sword Puppets forming the third stage of the Four Symbols Sword Array.
The strength of the swordsman who challenged the Puppet Sword Array was obviously not at the level of a top official disciple. In the second stage of the Puppet Sword Array, under the continuous attacks of the three Sword Puppets, it was very difficult for him to resist.
His defeat was inevitable. It was just a matter of time.
The three Sword Puppets' coordination was very good. Every sword attack would not only attack the challenger, but also form a coordination with the other two Sword Puppets' attacks, sealing off the opponent's dodging.
"He's about to lose." Chu Mu said inwardly. As expected, that swordsman was struck by one of the Sword Puppets and instantly flew out of the Sword Array. He landed on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood, his face ashen.
To the swordsman of the Immemorial World, getting injured was a common occurrence. This kind of injury could be healed in a short period of time by just taking a medicinal pellet.
Soon, the next swordsman entered the first stage of the Puppet Sword Array.
Chu Mu's number plate showed the number eighty-eight, and the number of challengers was seventy-two. In other words, Chu Mu still had to wait for a while before it was his turn.
Soon after, that swordsman passed the first stage and was defeated in the second stage.
One after another, the swordsman entered the Puppet Sword Array and was defeated in the second stage. The only difference was how long they lasted.
In less than thirty minutes, all the swordsman stopped in the second stage of the Puppet Sword Array. They couldn't get back the one hundred Sky Edge coins they paid.
"Finally, it's my turn." Chu Mu said inwardly as he took a step forward. Everyone only saw a figure flash in front of them, and Chu Mu had already appeared in the first stage of the Puppet Sword Array.
Among the official disciples, most of them had heard of Chu Mu's name, but most of them hadn't seen Chu Mu in person. Therefore, when they saw Chu Mu enter the Puppet Sword Array and dozens of other swordsman stopped in the second stage, they all thought that Chu Mu would also be stopped in the second stage like the other swordsman.
"Another person who thinks the Sky Edge coins are too much."
One hundred Sky Edge coins was a huge sum for many official disciples, because every time they completed a mission, they would only get a few or even a dozen Sky Edge coins. One hundred Sky Edge coins would require them to complete many missions before they could get it.
Challenging the Puppet Sword Array was an extravagant challenge for many of the official disciples.
The moment Chu Mu entered the first stage of the puppet sword formation, he immediately felt two powerful and sharp auras lock onto him. Immediately after, the sword puppets on the left and right moved, unsheathing their swords. With a thrust and a slash, they attacked Chu Mu from two different directions.
The first stage of the Puppet Sword Array: Yin and Yang Sword Array.
Up and down, left and right, front and back, front and back. The two sword puppets unsheathed their swords and immediately displayed the full power of the sword array.
Chu Mu's body didn't move. His sword was unsheathed like an aurora … If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
