Defeating an old disciple in one strike and proficiently using the ninety nine forms of the Heavenly Desolation Sword Technique instantly made Chu Mu famous amongst the new disciples. He had quite a bit of prestige, but at the same time, he was targeted by a group of old disciples.
Among the new disciples, Chu Mu was the most talked about. Most of the topics were related to Chu Mu, which made it hard for some arrogant people to accept.
Whenever an old disciple bullied a new disciple, the new disciple would always say, "If you have the ability, go find Chu Mu."
In the end, some old disciples did find Chu Mu, but were defeated by Chu Mu's sword and had to hand over ten low-grade True Desolation Pills, which increased the number of True Desolation Pills in Chu Mu's storage.
As the saying goes, the hunter shoots the bird that sticks out.
"A new disciple should act like a new disciple." After Chu Mu defeated a dozen old disciples, many of the old disciples were angry. They decided to give Chu Mu an unforgettable lesson. They wanted him to understand that even if he had some strength, as a new disciple, he had to respect his senior brothers. He couldn't be too arrogant, or else he wouldn't have a good ending.
"Go and call Chu Mu over." Yan Quan said as if he was ordering a servant.
"Yes, I'll go right away." The person who was ordered was not Yan Quan's servant, but an outer palace disciple. However, he was not dissatisfied at all. Instead, he felt honored.
"With Senior Brother Yan here, even if Chu Mu has some ability, he will be defeated by Senior Brother Yan's sword."
"That's right. Senior Brother Yan's ability is not something that others can compare with."
The old disciples beside him started to flatter him. Although Yan Quan looked indifferent, the corner of his mouth was slightly raised, showing that he was proud of himself.
Chu Mu, who was about to leave after practicing his swordsmanship on the outer palace's martial arts field, was stopped by the person sent by Yan Quan.
"Chu Mu, come with me. Senior Brother Yan Quan wants to see you." The person's attitude was a little arrogant.
"Lead the way." Chu Mu thought for a moment. He knew that after defeating the weak, there would be a stronger one. Even if he rejected this time, there would definitely be a next time. It was better to be straightforward and face him directly.
"At least you know your place." The person thought that Chu Mu would refuse and prepared all kinds of provocative words. He didn't expect that Chu Mu would agree so easily.
The conversation between the two was also heard by the people beside them.
"Who is Yan Quan?"
"An old disciple."
"I know, I know. This Yan Quan is quite famous among the senior disciples. I heard that he has been in the palace for ten years and is very powerful. I heard that he practiced the Sky Desolation Sword Art to the 66th move two years ago. Now that two years have passed, he must have improved again. I wonder how many moves he has practiced."
"Chu Mu can perform all 99 moves of the Sky Desolation Sword Art."
"But I've heard that having a high level of swordsmanship doesn't necessarily mean that one's strength is high. There is an even stronger power above the perfect level of sword intent and profound. Only by combining it with swordsmanship can one achieve true strength."
"Let's go and take a look."
Immediately, a large group of new disciples followed closely behind.
In the world of swordsmen, no matter if it was an organization as small as a sesame seed or a colossal force as large as a mountain, the Sword Arena was an indispensable component.
Yan Quan and a group of senior disciples were waiting for Chu Mu at one of the Sword Arenas.
"Senior Brother Yan, I have brought him here," the swordsman who brought Chu Mu quickly saluted Yan Quan with his sword and said in a flattering manner.
"Very good." Yan Quan nodded and turned to look at Chu Mu. His eyes emitted a sharp light that pierced through the air like a sword radiance.
Chu Mu met Yan Quan's eyes fearlessly and looked at him for three breaths.
"Although you are a new disciple, you are more capable than some of the senior disciples. Not bad." Yan Quan put his hands behind his back and smiled as if he was a senior talking to a junior. "However, a new disciple should behave like a new disciple. No matter what, to you new disciples, we senior disciples are all senior brothers. It is necessary for you to respect and be filial to your senior brothers."
At this moment, a group of new disciples also rushed over and stopped about ten meters away from Chu Mu.
"You should be grateful that your senior brothers have taught you sword arts. Even if you have to pay a price, it is only right." Yan Quan didn't even look at the group of new disciples as he continued, "Even if you have the ability and are more powerful than some of your senior brothers, you can't go against your superiors and brazenly steal your senior brothers' belongings."
"Then how should I settle this?" Chu Mu couldn't help but smile and ask.
"Return the low grade True Desolate Pellets you stole from the senior brothers and apologize to them. Then, we will let this matter go," Yan Quan said. Yan Quan said. At the same time, a dozen or so old disciples simultaneously walked out. They walked in front of Chu Mu and stared intently at him. They were the small bearded man and the other old disciples that had been defeated by Chu Mu one by one.
"I do have some True Desolate Pellets. However, they were all obtained from teaching me sword arts. I did not take them by force. If you need them, you can tell me and I will generously give you a few." Chu Mu spoke neither slowly nor quickly, but this caused the eyes of the dozen or so older disciples to spit fire. They would rather die than lower their heads and ask Chu Mu for pills.
"It seems that this junior brother is not going to give me face," Yan Quan sneered.
"Face is lost by oneself," Chu Mu replied indifferently.
"Junior brother is indeed not giving me face. Since that is the case …" Yan Quan seemed to be so angry that he laughed. "I have been practicing the Sky Desolate Sword Art for ten years. I have been practicing hard every day but I have made little progress. I have never been able to cultivate the Sky Desolate Sword Art to perfection. I heard that you have only just started practicing the Sky Desolate Sword Art and you are already able to perform ninety-nine moves consecutively. This level of comprehension has amazed me. Therefore, I am shameless enough to ask for your advice."
"Since Senior Brother Yan is sincere in asking for advice, I will not hold back." Chu Mu smiled and replied to Yan Quan's words. Yan Quan's face changed slightly and he was secretly angry.
He could perform all ninety-nine moves of the Sky Desolate Sword Art. In fact, as long as he was a swordsman with a solid foundation, he could do it. However, performing it and mastering it were two different things.
If Yan Quan was willing, he could also perform all ninety-nine moves of the Sky Desolate Sword Art. However, the latter part was just an empty shell with no power.
When he heard that Chu Mu could perform all ninety-nine moves of the Sky Desolate Sword Art, he was shocked. However, he soon realized that it was just an empty shell. He could only say that Chu Mu's foundation was very solid.
With a cold snort, Yan Quan leapt into the air like an eagle. He gracefully but steadily landed on the fighting stage and looked down at Chu Mu from above.
Chu Mu's feet moved, and he used Flying Swan Illusory Steps. His body was like a flying swan, and in a flash, he seemed to leave behind a figure in his original position. However, on the Sword Fighting Stage, Chu Mu appeared again.
"Junior Brother, draw your sword and give your Senior Brother some pointers." Yan Quan said with a trace of sarcasm.
"Wait, Senior Brother Yan. My sword techniques are lower than yours. You should let me receive pointers from this junior brother first." A figure flashed and another person appeared on the Sword Dueling Platform. It was the person who had been standing beside Yan Quan earlier.
"Junior Brother Li, you have to be careful. This Junior Brother Chu is a capable person who can perform all ninety-nine moves of the Sky Desolate Sword Art." Yan Quan retreated and jumped off the battle arena. His sharp voice was full of sarcasm.
"Junior Brother Chu, I am untalented. I have trained hard for nine years and only managed to reach the sixty-fifth move of the Sky Desolate Sword Art. Please give me some pointers." The swordsman with the surname Li cupped his hands. His tone did not have the slightest respect of asking for pointers. Instead, it was full of ridicule.
"I can give pointers, but you have to prepare the True Desolate Pills." Chu Mu said.
"Don't worry. As long as Junior Brother Chu can give me pointers, I will definitely give you ten low grade True Desolate Pills." The swordsman with the surname Li said.
"Under the watchful eyes of so many people, I don't think you dare to go back on your word." Chu Mu said.
"Hahahaha …" Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter. The other person beside Yan Quan was laughing so hard that tears flowed out from the corners of his eyes. "No, I really can't take it anymore. This newcomer is too funny. Junior Brother Li and Senior Brother Yan are just teasing him. He can't tell. He really thinks that Senior Brother Yan and Junior Brother Li need his pointers.
I'm laughing so hard. "Yan Quan also revealed a smile. The old disciples beside him also roared with laughter. The new disciples all revealed an angry look.
Chu Mu's expression did not change. With an indifferent face, he pulled out the standard Sky Desolate Sword.
The disciples of the Sky Desolate Earth Palace all had the standard Sky Desolate Sword. It was not sharp and did not have a strong killing power. It was used for sparring. In a real life and death battle, they naturally had to use their own sword.
Now it was a sparring session.
Holding the sword, Chu Mu displayed the initial move of the Sky Desolate Sword Art. His aura was restrained, as if he had turned into a statue.
"You have some skills." Swordsman Li said. He pulled out his sword and took a step forward with his left foot. He moved forward as if he was skating. His sword bounced up and streaked across the air. The Sword Light was chilling. This sword directly merged the first and second moves of the Sky Desolate Sword Art, greatly increasing its power.
When the disciples of the Sky Desolate Earth Palace cultivated the Sky Desolate Sword Art to a certain level, they would be able to make some changes from the original foundation.
For example, merging the first and second moves into one sword was the most basic. In addition, they could merge more sword moves and even extract some of the sword moves to form a more perfect combo.
The sword bounced out and the tip of the sword drew a slight arc, stabbing toward Chu Mu. When the two moves merged into one, it contained more changes and the sword was even sharper.
This sword, once again, used the power of the Early Stage Realm. It was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it stabbed toward Chu Mu's neck.
If he was stabbed, not only would his neck be pierced, but a large wound would also be cut open.
The edgeless Sky Desolate Sword could also kill under the power of the Early Stage Realm.
His sword was fast, but Chu Mu's reaction was even faster. As if he could predict it, he shifted his feet and easily avoided it.
After his sword missed, he twisted his wrist and the next sword slashed out. The third and fourth moves were merged and slashed toward Chu Mu's wrist that was holding the sword.
Chu Mu dodged again. The fifth and sixth moves were merged and slashed at him.
Chu Mu held his sword and did not counterattack. This was the first time he had seen the sword moves of the Sky Desolate Sword Art fused together. He wanted to experience more.
But Swordsman Li only knew three moves. Thus, Chu Mu saw a flaw and slashed out. Under the Mountain Quaking Energy, he directly sent his opponent flying.
