Throughout the night, besides spending some time to organize the gains from the two rounds, the rest of the time was spent on the God-Sealing Blood Curse. As time passed and Chu Mu worked hard, the God-Sealing Blood Curse became thinner and thinner. At dawn, there was only the last layer left, an extremely thin layer.
"What a pity, if only I had a little more time …" Opening his eyes, Chu Mu sighed. The time of the competition was almost up. If he didn't arrive on time, he would be considered to have given up.
He got up and left the room. When he went to the outer palace, the half void realm was already full.
The outer palace competition had reached the fourth round. The first round eliminated the most people, and the fourth round eliminated the least. Only one hundred people were eliminated. There were one hundred and seventy people left to enter the fifth round.
Chu Mu was ranked eighty. In other words, he was qualified to choose from the first half of the competition.
With the recovery of the Blood Yang Pill, the sequela of burning essence blood was completely eliminated. His essence blood was also replenished. His essence, qi, and spirit had all reached the peak.
The fifth round began. Nan Wu was the first to make his choice.
"One hundred." Nan Wu didn't even look and said casually. He was very confident in his own strength.
"Please." One hundred contestant said. He pulled out his sword. Sword energy flowed through his body, ready to erupt with the strongest power at any time. Facing Nan Wu, he didn't dare to relax.
Even if he lost, he had to lose to his heart's content.
Nan Wu seemed to be in a daze. He didn't respond to his opponent. This attitude made his opponent angry.
"Take my sword." Even though he was angry, he didn't sneak attack. When he pulled out his sword, he reminded his opponent to show that he was open and aboveboard. Of course, because this was a competition and not a real life and death battle, there was a difference.
Sword light flew, and green Qi spread out. It was like green grass growing endlessly, enveloping Nan Wu's entire body. In an instant, he felt as if he was in a field of wild grass.
The peak of the fourth revolution sword intent, the peak of the fourth revolution wood profound, was integrated into this sword and used in the Sky Desolation Sword Art.
Nan Wu didn't seem to feel anything. He was in a daze. This sword didn't bring enough threat to him.
His left arm moved and drew a vague arc. The green wood-like sword was immediately broken. One hundred contestants were directly sent flying. Their swords fell to the ground.
Defeated!
Ever since Nan Wu had appeared, he had always defeated his opponents with one move. Moreover, his sword had never left its sheath.
Everyone looked at Nan Wu with even more shock and awe.
Nan Wu won, and it was the second place Chi Xiao's turn. Chi Xiao drew his sword, and similarly, he defeated his opponent in a demonic manner.
Third place, Ben Tiger, was like the king of the forest.
Basically, the top ten disciples had never changed their positions from the first round to the fifth round.
Soon, it was Gao Wang's turn to choose his opponent.
"I don't like trouble." Gao Wang glanced at them and finally fixed his eyes on Chu Mu's face. "I'll choose you, number 80, Chu Mu."
The moment Gao Wang's words left his mouth, it immediately caused an uproar.
"He actually chose Chu Mu."
"Isn't this bullying?"
"It's not bullying. It's all about strength."
"It doesn't matter. You can use your secret technique as you wish. I won't use my secret technique," Gao Wang continued.
Some people had already started to scold Gao Wang for being shameless.
Previously, when he chose Chu Mu, it already showed that Chu Mu was not his opponent. This time, he still chose Chu Mu.
Nie Yunjie was a proud person, and he looked at Gao Wang with a trace of disdain. From the bottom of his heart, he thought that Gao Wang was not worthy of being in the top ten with them.
"Let's see how Chu Mu is going to deal with this."
"I admit defeat." Chu Mu opened his eyes. He did not even get up, and his expression did not change. He just said those three words.
This immediately caused many people to be stunned, but they immediately let out a smile. That's right, yesterday's match had already proven that he wasn't Gao Wang's opponent. Now, it had only been a day, so how could Chu Mu possibly contend against Gao Wang? Even if he fought, he would still lose. Rather than that, why not just admit defeat?
"Hahaha …" Gao Wang laughed out loud. His laughter gradually died down. He glanced at Chu Mu and didn't say anything else.
Chu Mu glanced at Gao Wang. He instinctively felt that Gao Wang was intentionally targeting him. Whether or not Gao Wang was intentionally targeting him, he would be able to tell in the following battles.
Chu Mu didn't feel that admitting defeat was shameful because he knew that the current him was not Gao Wang's opponent. Even if he used the Burning Blood Technique and used the power of the Earth Core Flame, he would only be able to catch Gao Wang off guard and cause some trouble.
Since that was the case, he might as well not fight because he had more important things to do.
That was to break through the God-Sealing Blood Curse on his sword intent. He had to completely break through the God-Sealing Blood Curse on his sword intent before today, or in other words, before the second half of the sixth round began. Only then would he be able to pass the sixth round and enter the seventh round, and fight for the top ten, or even the top three.
Fighting with Gao Wang would definitely take up a bit of time. To Chu Mu, every second was of utmost importance.
The moment he admitted defeat, Chu Mu closed his eyes again and focused on using his mental remembrance to attack the Divine Sealing Blood Curse on his sword intent. He only hoped that in the following matches, he would be able to last longer.
Admitting defeat now was for the sake of winning later, for the sake of winning more brilliantly.
The competition continued. The 11th place picked their opponent.
The later the participants were, the more careful they were in choosing their opponents. The more time they had to spend.
Since the start of the competition, Tu Jinghong and Luo Qiushui had repeatedly defeated strong opponents and had never lost a single battle. Therefore, Tu Jinghong was ranked 23rd and Luo Qiushui was ranked a little lower at 35th.
However, the truly brilliant people could see that Luo Qiushui was actually stronger than Tu Jinghong.
However, up until now, there hadn't been an opponent that could force out Luo Qiushui's true strength. Of course, the top ten might be able to, but there seemed to be a tacit understanding between them that they didn't plan on fighting now.
It was rare to see a battle between experts. However, right now, Chu Mu had his eyes closed and was concentrating his mind to break through the God-Sealing Blood Curse on his sword intent. He was racing against time.
Finally, the 79th participant finished fighting his opponent. It was Chu Mu's turn.
Chu Mu temporarily put down his mind to break through the God-Sealing Blood Curse. He glanced over and chose his opponent.
"Number 132," Chu Mu said lightly.
Chu Mu had an impression of number 132. His sword intent and profound were both at the peak of the fourth rank. His control of power had reached the Advanced stage but not the limit. Chu Mu had also seen the Sky Desolation Sword Art and other aspects.
Compared to the fourth round opponent, this person was weaker. Chu Mu was confident that even if he didn't use Dacheng's Burning Blood Transformation, he could still win. However, he had to put in some effort.
Chu Mu's opponent had a dignified expression. He didn't dare to underestimate Chu Mu at all.
Although Chu Mu's sword intent and profound were sealed and couldn't be used, the strength that Chu Mu had displayed so far was still very shocking.
He didn't want to be defeated by a cripple without sword intent or profound.
The battle began. Sword Light danced. Chu Mu wasn't in a hurry to end the battle. Using his mind to break through the God-Sealing Blood Curse had consumed a lot of energy. He could use this battle to recover.
For Chu Mu, the length of this battle didn't have any effect on the rest of the battle.
His figure intertwined, his footwork changed, and the Sword Light danced. It was like light, like lightning, like a dragon, like a phoenix. He displayed the essence of the Sky Desolation Sword Art. As for Chu Mu, it was as if he was trying out his moves. He displayed each sword move of the Sky Desolation Sword Art one by one, breaking them apart and then recombining them.
His gains from the past few rounds of the competition were also gradually turning into his own.
"Chu Mu is trying out his moves."
"What a terrifying talent. This boy is too demonic. Not long ago, he used all his strength and could only compete with a Rank Four Sword Intent Profound swordsman. It would be difficult to even defeat him. But now, he can fight with a Rank Four Peak swordsman with ease."
"Sword Art. What a terrifying sword art attainment."
That's right. In just a few days, Chu Mu's sword art attainment had risen from the early eighth level to the middle eighth level. He was getting closer and closer to the tenth level. It was a huge and gratifying improvement.
Chu Mu displayed all the sword art changes that he had recently mastered. His opponent was also enraged. He erupted with all his strength and each sword seemed to be a sure-kill move.
The pressure that his opponent brought to Chu Mu was increasing. He even showed signs of using a secret technique.
Once the secret technique was used, Chu Mu would also have to use a secret technique.
In an instant, Chu Mu clashed with his opponent's sword. He seemed to be defeated and retreated a few steps. His opponent hurriedly attacked with his sword.
The various sword art changes and the essence of various sword arts flowed in his heart. Let nature take its course. Chu Mu dodged. His body moved with the sword and appeared at the side. Not only did he avoid the opponent's sword, but he also made the best counterattack.
The sword was like lightning. Its sharpness was endless. It cut through the dark night sky and flashed to the extreme.
Before the sword hit his opponent, Chu Mu's body changed again. His sword move also changed.
Silhouettes appeared around his opponent one after another. Beams of sword light intertwined and came from all directions.
This was Chu Mu's integration and application of the sword arts that he had learned recently.
With the last sword move, Chu Mu's body landed steadily. He lowered his center of gravity, spread his feet, twisted his waist, and assumed a sword-drawing posture.
The first thirty moves of the Heavenly Desolation Sword Art appeared at this moment.
After breaking through layers of sword shadows, Chu Mu's sword was unsheathed.
His opponent discovered that after dispelling the clouds and seeing the moon, there was an extremely terrifying sword light sweeping over. It was unavoidable and unblockable.
He only felt a terrible force explode in his chest. He flew backward like a broken sack and spat out a mouthful of blood. He was already injured.
He was no match for such a powerful sword move.
Chu Mu had once again used his strength and astonishing talent to defeat his opponent. He had passed the fifth round and advanced to the sixth round. Some people cheered, while others were unhappy, extremely unhappy.
