After that, Chu Mu stayed in his Sword Gauntlet and did his usual training while studying the fifth hand seal of the Nine Revolution Heaven Shocking Print Technique. At the same time, he also took some time to study the basics of sword formations.
The Nine Revolution Heaven Shocking Print Technique became more and more exquisite as it progressed. Therefore, studying the hand seals became more difficult and took more time.
After half a month, Chu Mu had only scratched the surface of the fifth hand seal. If he wanted to perfect it, Chu Mu estimated that he would need another month or so.
The old year had passed and the new year had arrived. The New Talent Summit that Bi Zhongtian mentioned was about to begin.
The location of the New Talent Summit was in the elite disciple area, a Sword Battle Arena.
Strictly speaking, the New Talent Summit wasn't a formal event. It was just a way for the newly promoted elite disciples to show their worth and for the battle teams to pick out new blood.
In this year, there weren't many swordsmen who became elite disciples. There were only about sixty of them. A portion of them had already joined a battle team and there were less than thirty left who planned to show their talents in the New Talent Summit.
"Chu Mu, you're here." Qin Shanhe's eyes lit up when he saw Chu Mu. Suddenly, dozens of pairs of eyes looked at Chu Mu.
Chu Mu glanced around. Among the twenty or so newly promoted elite disciples, Sikong Zhan wasn't among them.
Could it be that Sikong Zhan had already joined a battle team?
It was possible. With Sikong Zhan's strength, even the three super battle teams would be happy to recruit him.
However, it was also possible that Sikong Zhan hadn't joined a battle team. Chu Mu vaguely remembered that one of the thirteen warlords once said that Sikong Zhan planned to form his own battle team after becoming an elite disciple.
"You didn't join a battle team?" Chu Mu glanced at Qin Shanhe and asked casually.
"A few second-rate battle teams invited me, but I rejected them." Qin Shanhe said, "Although my strength isn't as good as yours or Sikong Zhan's, I don't care about second-rate battle teams. At the very least, I want a first-rate battle team."
Chu Mu nodded.
"Look around you. Those people are all members of third-rate and second-rate squadrons. They are here to observe us and see if they can find anyone suitable to join them." Qin Shanhe said, "The people from the first-rate battle teams haven't arrived yet. Let's wait for them to arrive before we start the battle."
…
"Brother Jin, even an elder of the Demonslayer Squad has been alerted." A loud laugh rang out.
"I heard that among the new elite disciples, there are a few good seedlings. Naturally, I want them to join the Demon Slayer Squad," Jin Yanlei said bluntly.
"Hehe, although the Demon Slayer Squad is good, they are not necessarily better than our Monster Slayer Squad." Another gentle voice sounded.
The members of the three Super Battle Teams had all appeared.
"Look, it's the members of the three great super battle teams."
"Even the members of the three Super Battle Teams have appeared. Last time, they didn't send anyone."
"You don't know about this. I heard that among the new elite disciples, there are a few pretty good ones. The Three Great Battle Teams will definitely be tempted."
"If the Three Great Battle Teams make a move, those good seedlings will definitely be divided up. The other battle teams can only recruit the weaker swordsmen."
"Looks like we have no hope. The Three Great Battle Teams will choose first. After that, it will be the first-rate battle teams' turn. When it's our turn, I don't think there will be anyone left."
"It doesn't matter. I'm just here to watch the show."
Not long after, a large number of swordsmen gathered around the arena. They were members of various battle teams.
"Everyone is here. You can start now." A member of the Monster Slayer Squad nodded.
"I'll go first." A new elite disciple leaped onto the arena. He looked around and unsheathed his sword. Sword Light was cold, and the sound of the sword shook the surroundings. "Who will be my opponent?"
Since it was the New Talent Summit, the goal was to show off. Of course, they couldn't keep a low profile.
"I'll go." Immediately, a new elite disciple leaped onto the arena and unsheathed his sword to attack.
Swordsmen who became elite disciples and didn't join any battle teams carelessly until now were not weak. At least one of their Sword Intent or Profound had reached the second transition. It was even possible that both had reached the second transition.
The two swordsmen immediately engaged in an intense battle. On the arena, figures shuttled back and forth. Sword Light flashed and sword shadows flashed. The continuous collisions created countless sparks that flew everywhere.
Below the arena, the swordsmen of various battle teams who were in charge of recruiting new blood stared at the battle on the arena. Occasionally, they would discuss it.
Not long after, one of the swordsmen was defeated.
"Who else wants to come up?" The victorious swordsman was in high spirits. With a flick of his wrist, his sword vibrated and the sound of the sword resounded.
Qin Shanhe's body moved. His muscular and tall body landed on the arena. He unsheathed his huge sword and slashed.
With one slash, Chu Mu knew that Qin Shanhe's swordsmanship had improved.
The opponent's strength was obviously weaker than Qin Shanhe's. In just three slashes, he was defeated.
"So powerful."
"His Sword Intent and Profound have both reached the peak of the second transition. He can be considered a genius."
The people from the three super battle teams were all very strong and had extraordinary eyesight. They could immediately see how powerful Qin Shanhe was.
"My Demon Slayer Battle Team wants this person," Jin Yanlei said naturally. He was used to being overbearing.
"Is that so? My Demon Slayer Battle Team wants him."
"I think this person belongs to my God Slayer Battle Team."
The people from the three battle teams immediately started fighting.
Many people stared at Qin Shanhe with envy. He actually caused the three battle teams to fight over him.
"I'll defeat you." A new elite disciple went up the arena angrily and declared that he would defeat Qin Shanhe. It was unknown whether it was out of confidence or jealousy.
"Get down!" Qin Shanhe moved forward and slashed with his huge sword. It was as if he could split a mountain with one slash. It was heavy and overbearing. With one slash, the swordsman took a step back unconsciously and was sent flying.
"I'm right here. Whoever is not convinced can come up and fight." Qin Shanhe stabbed his huge sword into the ground. Sparks flew. The tip of the sword sank into the hard stone floor. He exhaled and was very overbearing.
"While there's still time, those who want to go up quickly. We don't necessarily look at current strength when we choose new blood. We look at future potential more," someone from the God Slayer Battle Team said.
Immediately, another swordsman went up the arena and fought with Qin Shanhe.
One after another, even if they were defeated, they used their full strength and tried to impress the people from the three battle teams. At the very least, they wanted to impress the people from the twelve first-rate battle teams.
Just as the saying went, it wasn't current strength that mattered, but future potential.
One by one, they were defeated by Qin Shanhe. The most powerful one fought with Qin Shanhe for 15 minutes and was defeated in the end.
The people from the three battle teams nodded. They were very satisfied with Qin Shanhe. They were secretly thinking about how to successfully recruit Qin Shanhe.
If only one super battle team came, it would be very simple. But now, all three super battle teams wanted to recruit Qin Shanhe. They had to compete.
"Chu Mu, although I know that I'm not your opponent, I still hope to fight with you." At this moment, Qin Shanhe swung his huge sword and pointed it at Chu Mu. He immediately attracted the swordsman's attention.
"Chu Mu …" Jin Yanlei immediately looked at Chu Mu. His eyes shone with a sharp light.
Chu Mu faintly smiled. He jumped up and landed on the Sword Fighting Stage.
"Is this person stronger than Qin Shanhe?" The swordsman who didn't know what was going on was puzzled.
"That's possible. Otherwise, why would Qin Shanhe say that?"
"Take my sword!" Qin Shanhe shouted. His huge sword danced. It was as if the mountains were moving and the rivers were flowing. He used his true strength as soon as he attacked.
Compared to before, Chu Mu's strength had increased by many times. He had already left Qin Shanhe far behind. Facing Qin Shanhe's sword, Chu Mu just moved his feet and dodged easily.
The strong sword wind swept past Chu Mu. The terrifying sword pressure was blocked by a trace of sharpness. It couldn't cause any threat to Chu Mu.
The huge sword in Qin Shanhe's hand was as light as a feather. He swung it freely, fully displaying Qin Shanhe's superb swordsmanship. However, when facing Chu Mu, he felt powerless. It was as if Chu Mu could see through his every move. Even when he attacked, Chu Mu was already prepared to dodge.
The people from the three super battle teams stared at Chu Mu. The swordsman from the other battle teams also stared at Chu Mu. They were completely attracted by him.
Although he hadn't used his sword, Chu Mu's footwork had already shocked them.
Qin Shanhe took out a short sword with his left hand and connected it to the huge sword. He changed his swordsmanship style. It could be close or far, hard or soft, advance or retreat. The combination of hard and soft made it difficult for Chu Mu to dodge.
Qin Shanhe became more and more proficient in using the huge sword and the short sword alternately. Chu Mu had no choice but to attack.
One ray of cold light pierces ten thousand fathoms!
With one sword, all of Qin Shanhe's attacks were destroyed. Chu Mu's sword stopped between Qin Shanhe's eyebrows. The sharpness of the sword made Qin Shanhe's scalp tingle. His spiritual world was shaking.
If Chu Mu wanted to, that sword could definitely pierce through Qin Shanhe's forehead and kill him.
"You're stronger than before. I think that even Sikong Zhan might not be your match," Qin Shanhe said with a complicated tone.
Chu Mu smiled and put his sword back into its scabbard.
The swordsmen below the arena were silent. They couldn't imagine that a newly promoted elite disciple would have such strength. It was too terrifying.
Originally, the strength that Qin Shanhe had displayed had already shocked many elite disciples and even made them feel ashamed. They didn't expect that there would be someone even stronger than Qin Shanhe. They couldn't imagine how he cultivated.
The people from the twelve first-rate battle teams and many second-rate and third-rate battle teams stared at Chu Mu as if they were looking at a delicacy. They were almost drooling.
Soon after, their expressions dimmed. With Chu Mu's strength and strength, his talent and potential were definitely out of the ordinary. There definitely wasn't a chance for them. The three great super teams probably couldn't wait to recruit him.
