"After this battle, I will remember your name." Tantai Tianlong said slowly. Every word was powerful like a dragon's roar.
"After this battle, you won't forget my name either." Chu Mu said indifferently. The two sentences were almost the same, but they contained two different meanings.
"Hahahaha …" Tantai Tianlong couldn't help but burst out in laughter. His figure flashed like a dragon soaring across the sky. He unsheathed his sword and slashed at Chu Mu.
The sword was like a breeze, a thunderclap, and a torrent. It wasn't restricted by any form, which made Chu Mu's eyes light up.
This sword displayed Tantai Tianlong's sword art realm, which was above Qin Shan He.
When the Eight-sided Sky Desolate Sword was unsheathed, Tantai Tianlong saw a fine arc of light in front of him. It was like a line of light between the sky and the water. It appeared from nothing and shone brightly. In the blink of an eye, the light disappeared.
In terms of sword art realm, Chu Mu, who had comprehended the combat style, had more variations and was more fluent. He was above Tantai Tianlong.
It was fine if he didn't draw his sword, but once he drew his sword, the expressions of the Tantai Clan's elders changed.
"What a profound sword art realm. Tianlong is in trouble." An elder transmitted a message.
"Not necessarily. Tianlong's sword intent and quintessence have been refined to the third revolution. His control of strength has also reached the Advanced Stage a few days ago. Once he uses his full strength, he will definitely be able to defeat his opponent." Another elder transmitted a message.
"That's right. Tianlong's talent can be ranked in the top three in our Tantai Clan for the past ten thousand years. He is definitely not below Sikong Zhan. It is already a great fortune for the Sky Edge Sword Palace to have Sikong Zhan." The third elder transmitted a message.
"Tianlong will definitely win this battle. He will also be able to suppress the Sky Edge Sword Palace's arrogance and take back the loss from a few years ago." The fourth elder transmitted a message.
Smiles appeared on the faces of the Elders.
In the blink of an eye, Tantai Tianlong's sword changed dozens of times. Each sword contained dozens of changes, and all of them were aimed at Chu Mu's flaws. However, those flaws disappeared in an instant.
As for Chu Mu's sword, it was a simple slash. When it landed in front of Tantai Tianlong's eyes, there were hundreds of thousands of variations. Each variation gave him a feeling that he could not dodge or dodge, as if there was nowhere safe in the world.
Tantai Tianlong released his spiritual consciousness and covered the surroundings. The trajectory of Chu Mu's sword immediately appeared in his spiritual consciousness. With a slash of the sword, there was the sound of wind and thunder, but it disappeared in an instant.
His sword's speed increased to the extreme, piercing through Chu Mu's sword and stabbing towards Chu Mu's forehead, causing Chu Mu to feel a piercing pain from his forehead.
The Third Revolution Sword Intent was unstoppable.
Tantai Tianlong's application of sword intent had also reached the extreme.
When the sword pierced through Chu Mu's protective sword aura and approached his forehead, Tantai Tianlong's Sword Origin Profound was injected and his strength exploded. The strength reached the tip of the sword, giving Chu Mu an illusion that his forehead was pierced through.
When the sword pierced through Chu Mu's head, Tantai Tianlong's expression changed. He felt that the sword had no strength at all. It was just an afterimage.
Under the spiritual consciousness, Tantai Tianlong vaguely felt a blurry Sword Light coming from the side. He released his strength again and hurriedly moved to the side. However, Chu Mu's sword followed him like a shadow and still came from the side.
Tantai Tianlong performed his movement technique and changed dozens of times, but he still couldn't get rid of Chu Mu's sword.
In terms of understanding of the sword, Chu Mu was above Tantai Tianlong. His sword art realm was higher than Tantai Tianlong's, and his control of strength was more profound than Tantai Tianlong's. No matter how one looked at it, Tantai Tianlong couldn't be compared with Chu Mu.
After a dozen changes, Tantai Tianlong managed to obtain a sliver of an opportunity to swing his sword towards Chu Mu.
When the two swords clashed, the sword intents clashed. Tantai Tianlong's expression changed. His pure Third Revolution Sword Intent was actually defeated. His palm trembled and his sword was about to fly out of his hand. He quickly tightened his grip.
"Fourth Revolution Sword Intent!" Tantai Tianlong was shocked. The few elders of the Tantai Clan also had a drastic change in expression. They no longer dared to think that Tantai Tianlong could win against Chu Mu.
The instructors of the Sword Palace were also dumbfounded. They knew that Chu Mu's sword intent was at least at the Third Revolution, but they didn't dare to think that it was at the Fourth Revolution.
The sword intent quintessence would be refined with every revolution and increase in rank. Thinking about it, Chu Mu hadn't been in the Sky Edge Sword Palace for more than half a year. Before that, it was impossible for him to obtain the Nine Revolution Heart Imprint Art.
In other words, in less than half a year, Chu Mu had refined his sword intent to the Fourth Revolution. This was something that other swordsmen would need at least ten years to achieve. In fact, most of the swordsmen wouldn't be able to do it because their soul spirit couldn't withstand it.
His sword intent had reached the Fourth Revolution. This meant that as long as Chu Mu didn't die, his future achievements would be at least the High-Grade Sword Of Gojoseon.
However, this wasn't what truly shocked the instructors. In the Immemorial World, the human race might be declining, but there was still a large population. There were plenty of geniuses that were born, and there were plenty of geniuses that could refine their sword intent to the Fourth Revolution. However, none of them were able to do it within half a year.
With a superior sword art and a Fourth Revolution Sword Intent, Chu Mu was able to suppress Tantai Tianlong.
Tantai Tianlong had used all his means, but he was only able to withstand Chu Mu's sword for a short period of time. In the end, Chu Mu pointed his sword at his throat and defeated him.
The Tantai Clan elders had already guessed this outcome, but they still found it hard to accept it after it happened.
A few years ago, they were defeated. Now, they were defeated again.
A few years ago, the Sky Edge Sword Palace had Sikong Zhan. A few years later, there was another Chu Mu.
"The Sword Palace is indeed filled with talents." They might have been defeated, but they couldn't let the battle go.
"It was just a fluke." One of the instructors smiled and was delighted in his heart.
"However, our Tantai Clan's bloodline power will only be revealed after reaching the God Congealing Realm. Therefore, the future Tianlong will definitely be able to defeat Chu Mu." Another Tantai Clan elder spoke with unwillingness.
What he said was true. Swordsmen who possessed the bloodline power inheritance would only reveal their bloodline power after reaching the God Congealing Realm, surpassing ordinary swordsmen.
"After reaching the God Congealing Realm, I will fight with you again." Tantai Tianlong stared at Chu Mu and spoke word by word.
"Anytime." Chu Mu smiled faintly.
From then on, the simple exchange between the Tantai Clan and the Sky Edge Sword Palace had ended. The following matters were the instructors. Originally, the Tantai Clan was planning to tour the Sky Edge Sword Palace after the exchange.
However, because Tantai Tianlong was defeated by Chu Mu, he wasn't in the mood to tour the Sky Edge Sword Palace. After the Tantai Clan's elders and instructors exchanged some pleasantries, they brought Tantai Tianlong and the other two onto the Sky Soaring Battleship and left swiftly.
On the Sky Soaring Battleship, Tantai Tianlong looked at the ground and contracted his eyes. He looked at Chu Mu and used a voice that only he could hear to say something. His expression was getting increasingly determined and cold.
"Instructors, if there is nothing else, I will be taking my leave." Chu Mu took a glance at the Sky Soaring Battleship and withdrew his gaze before speaking to the instructors.
"Go ahead and cultivate well." The instructors spoke with hope in their eyes.
Qin Shanhe and Fei Kang also bade farewell.
"Chu Mu, in a few days, I will be applying for the Sword Supreme Exam to become an elite disciple." Qin Shanhe followed Chu Mu with large strides and said, "I think you will also become an elite disciple soon. When the time comes, why don't we join the same team?"
"We will talk about it when the time comes." Chu Mu replied.
"Alright, we will talk about it when the time comes." Qin Shanhe didn't linger on this issue. He spoke a few more words with Chu Mu before leaving. He returned to his Sword Tower and prepared for the Sword Supreme Exam.
As for Fei Kang, he still had some animosity towards Chu Mu. Therefore, he didn't converse with Chu Mu.
Defeating the strongest sword practitioner of the Tantai Clan's outer inst.i.tute was the icing on the cake for Chu Mu.
After returning to the Sword Tower, Chu Mu seized the time to cultivate.
His sword intent had already reached the fourth revolution. Chu Mu spent all his time on tempering the Ripping Quintessence. He had to reach the fourth revolution before the appointed time with the Chief Instructor. Only then would his strength increase by several folds. Only then would he be able to pass the last stage of the Sword Puppet Formation.
There was less than a month left.
Every day, he would spend sixteen hours tempering the power of the Ripping Quintessence. Due to the restraint of the other quintessences, the tempering speed of the Ripping Quintessence was much slower than the sword intent. The tempering time for each revolution was much longer than the sword intent.
However, Chu Mu was confident that he could temper the Ripping Quintessence to the fourth revolution in the remaining time. Other than tempering the Ripping Quintessence, Chu Mu also focused on the cultivation of the control of his strength. He had a feeling that he wasn't far from breaking through to the next level.
In the blink of an eye, another half a month had passed. On the first floor of the Sword Tower, Chu Mu, who was cultivating his sword skills, suddenly paused. He maintained the posture of thrusting out his sword and froze. He felt that his body seemed to have broken through some shackles. There was a surging feeling of power.
Immediately after, Chu Mu's body didn't move at all. He just shook his wrist gently. There seemed to be a luster flashing on the Eight-sided Sky Desolate Sword. There seemed to be ripples in the air around the sword. Subsequently, there were traces of light condensing at the tip of the Eight-sided Sky Desolate Sword. It only took an instant before it was shot out.
It was a ray of sword light. It was so bright that people couldn't look at it directly.
The sword light broke through the air at an indescribable speed. In an instant, it hit the seal of the Sword Tower.
With a bang, the sword light exploded and the seal caved in. Layers of ripples spread out like water ripples. After a full three breaths, the seal caved in and the ripples disappeared.
The power of this ray of sword light was no less than that of Chu Mu's Deep Realm. It directly pierced into the seal.
"Extreme Realm …" Chu Mu kept staring at the seal. After three breaths, he muttered to himself.
There were three levels in the Realm: Initial Realm, Deep Realm, and Extreme Realm. The Extreme Realm sword could condense all of one's strength and turn it into a ray of sword light. Its power wasn't inferior to a direct attack with a sword.
"Next, let me see how many sword strikes I can unleash in a row in the Extreme Realm."
The number of times a sword strike could unleash in a row was related to the battle strength of a swordsman.
Think about it. If two people fought, one could unleash eight sword strikes in a row while the other could unleash ten sword strikes in a row. In a situation where all other aspects were equal, the second person would obviously have the upper hand.
