The fifth round of the competition had finally ended. The intense and intense battles were extremely heart-wrenching. Once it ended, most people let out a sigh of relief. But following that, the sixth round of the competition was about to begin.
The number of people in the fifth round was 170. Only 100 people had entered the sixth round. A total of 70 people had been eliminated.
One could imagine that the disciples who entered the sixth round were all relatively strong. This also meant that the upcoming competition would be even more intense and exciting.
It was as if one wave had not yet subsided and another had risen.
Chu Mu was in the 80th seat. Once again, he was in the bottom half. The situation was very unfavorable for him.
Nan Wu chose his opponent again, the 90th disciple.
The competition had reached the sixth round. Other than Chu Mu, basically all the disciples ranked between eighty and one hundred had reached the peak of the fourth rank in sword intent and profound. As for the disciples ranked above eighty, their sword intent and profound had reached the fifth rank. Some were high while some were low.
As for the top thirty disciples, their sword intent and profundities had all reached rank six, but there were also differences in strength.
Among the 100 disciples, Chu Mu was the most special one. He was very conspicuous.
His sword did not leave its sheath and easily defeated his opponent.
Second, third, fourth …
Once again, it was the tenth place Gao Wang's turn to choose his opponent.
Gao Wang's gaze swept across everyone's faces. Everyone wanted to know if he would make the same choice as before.
"I choose number 80 Chu Mu." Gao Wang did not seem to care about his face and directly said.
"Shameless."
"He's simply a scum."
"Chu Mu is too weak. If I don't choose him, who else should I choose?"
"Bullshit, there are still some people weaker than Chu Mu."
The moment Gao Wang's words came out, Chu Mu's eyelids trembled. As expected, Gao Wang really came for him.
However, there did not seem to be any conflicts between him and Gao Wang. Perhaps there was something fishy going on.
"I admit defeat." Without even opening his eyes, Chu Mu directly said. His tone was indifferent as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
After speaking, Chu Mu removed all distracting thoughts and continued to attack the Godseal Blood Curse on his sword intent. Soon, soon.
The corners of Gao Wang's mouth curled up into a smile. As expected.
"He admitted defeat again."
"If Gao Wang continues to challenge Chu Mu, won't he have to keep admitting defeat?"
"Looking at Chu Mu's current state, he can only admit defeat and then choose a weaker opponent to fight. He will do his best to defeat his opponent and enter the next round."
"But this time, Chu Mu is in danger. He can only choose the top 50 disciples, or even the top 30 disciples. That kind of strength is not something he can compete with."
There was a lot of discussion. The Third Palace Master and the True Palace Elder were also interested. They wanted to see if Chu Mu would be able to continue advancing and enter the seventh round.
Up until now, the limits of Chu Mu's strength had been more or less estimated by people. Under the condition of using a secret technique, he was comparable to or slightly stronger than an ordinary early stage Fifth Revolution Sword Intent Sword Warrior.
However, the Sword Intent of each of the top 50 disciples had at least reached the middle stage of the Fifth Revolution or even the late stage of the Fifth Revolution, which exceeded the limit of Chu Mu's strength.
There was no doubt that he would lose!
Tu Jinghong's ranking didn't change. He was still ranked twenty-third after defeating his opponent. Luo Qiushui was still ranked thirty-fifth after defeating his opponent in ten strikes.
The top fifty disciples had chosen their opponents, and all of them had won. With their strength, it would be strange if they failed.
It was the 51st disciple's turn to choose his opponent.
This was a difficult choice, but one that had to be made.
In the end, this disciple chose the 50th place, his old rival. After a single battle, he was still defeated. His expression was gloomy as he was eliminated.
He had to choose carefully. His opponents were all very strong. At this point, it was all about strength and not luck.
Therefore, those who were ranked at the top could usually stay until the end.
Soon, it was the 79th person's turn. Chu Mu was one rank behind.
The 79th participating disciple looked hesitant. Finally, he chose the 21st participating disciple and admitted defeat. He did not even leave his seat.
It couldn't be helped. With his early-stage fifth revolution Sword Intent and profundity, it was simply wishful thinking for him to go against a swordsman whose Sword Intent and profundity had attained the intermediate-stage sixth revolution. If he possessed Chu Mu's attainments in sword techniques and combat skills, then it wouldn't be impossible. Unfortunately, he wasn't Chu Mu.
On number 80, it was Chu Mu's turn. However, Chu Mu's eyes were still closed and he didn't show any reaction.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths. Time passed quickly. Everyone's gaze was focused on Chu Mu's face. They were confused and started to guess.
"What are you doing?"
"Stalling for time?"
"Let's just choose one of them and admit defeat."
In the midst of the discussion, thirty breaths of time passed.
"Number 80 Chu Mu, make your choice immediately," the inner palace elder warned.
Chu Mu still didn't react, and his eyes were still closed. Another three breaths of time passed, and the inner palace elder's face was somewhat unsightly. He opened his mouth again, and his voice was somewhat gloomy, "Number eighty Chu Mu, immediately choose your opponent."
Chu Mu still didn't show any reaction.
After ten breaths of time, the inner palace elder's expression darkened, "Number 80 Chu Mu, choose your opponent immediately. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a forfeit and you will be eliminated."
The consequences would be serious.
"What the hell?"
"What's wrong with Chu Mu? Is he afraid?"
The inner palace elder's expression turned even uglier. Chu Mu's lack of response made him feel like his dignity was being challenged.
"Number 80 Chu Mu, you …" When the inner palace elder was about to announce Chu Mu's forfeit, Chu Mu's eyes suddenly sprang open. At that instant, it was as if an almost transparent silver ray flashed across his eyes. The crowd could feel a chill running down their spines as a terrifying aura penetrated deep into their bones.
Even Nan Wu, who had been in a daze, shuddered. His dazed eyes regained focus for the first time as he pondered.
It felt like an illusion. After failing to find the source, the crowd threw it to the back of their minds.
"Number 10," Chu Mu quickly said.
"Number 80 Chu Mu, what did you say?" The inner palace elder repeated.
"I choose number 10." Chu Mu said. If he had the time and could choose properly, he would choose another opponent. However, he had already said it, and it was his choice. Number 10, number 10 was number 10. There was no need to change it.
"Chu Mu chose number 10?"
"Did I hear it wrong?"
"You didn't hear it wrong. He did choose number 10."
"What's going on? What's going on? Didn't Gao Wang choose Chu Mu? Didn't Chu Mu take the initiative to admit defeat? Now he actually chose Gao Wang? "
"Next, he will take the initiative to admit defeat."
An even more shocking scene appeared. Chu Mu actually stood up and strode to the center of the arena. It seemed that he was really going to fight with Gao Wang.
"This Chu Mu can't have given up on himself, right?"
"Maybe he knows that this is his last battle. Even if he loses, he has to use his full strength to leave a deep impression on everyone."
The Third Palace Master and the elders of the True Palace were also puzzled.
In fact, other than Chu Mu himself, no one could understand his current actions. No one knew that before, Chu Mu did not have the strength to fight against Gao Wang. But now, that was not necessarily the case.
Gao Wang seemed to be in a daze. He did not seem to understand what was going on.
Soon after, the corners of his mouth lifted and he revealed a frivolous smile. He slowly stood up and walked step by step towards the center of the Sword Fighting Stage. His eyes flickered and fell on Chu Mu's face as if he wanted to see through Chu Mu.
"I don't understand. What do you mean by doing this?" Gao Wang said softly, as if he was probing.
"You will understand." Chu Mu said indifferently. He was not afraid at all.
"I advise you to admit defeat. Otherwise, I might not show mercy. It would be bad if you were injured." Gao Wang laughed frivolously. From his point of view, he didn't know what Chu Mu's intentions were, but he was definitely finding trouble for himself.
The past two days had already proven one thing. There was an absolute difference in strength between Chu Mu and himself. This difference was not something that could be bridged in two short days. Moreover, Chu Mu's sword intent and profound had been sealed and could not be used. How could he fight against him?
"What is Chu Mu planning?"
"How about this. Seeing that you have the courage to challenge me, I'll give you a chance and allow you to attack with all your strength." Gao Wang said to Chu Mu, "I'll let you display your strength to your heart's content and then defeat you. That way, you won't leave with any regrets."
These words were somewhat condescending, as if he was giving alms.
Indeed, in the eyes of Gao Wang and some other swordsmen, Gao Wang was much stronger than Chu Mu. He was qualified to speak to Chu Mu in such a manner.
"Since that's the case, I won't be polite." Chu Mu's eyes flashed with a smile. He pulled out his sword and stabbed out.
The speed of the sword was neither fast nor slow. It looked ordinary without any subtlety. Just as Gao Wang was about to shake his head, suddenly, Chu Mu's ordinary sword tip trembled. It was like a huge blooming flower. It was bright and gorgeous, spreading out in all directions.
Every petal was formed by streaks of sword light. They carried a terrifying sharpness as they spun towards Ye Xiwen.
"Interesting." Gao Wang was startled, but then he smiled and said. He shifted his footwork and quickly dodged.
His strength was not weak, and his footwork and body movement were also very brilliant.
Chu Mu did not speak, but continued to attack with his sword. He displayed all kinds of exquisite swordsmanship. It had to be said that Gao Wang was indeed a good opponent. He was strong enough to deal with Chu Mu's swordsmanship changes. He allowed Chu Mu to improve the flaws of his swordsmanship.
After a while, the Sword Light stopped.
"Are you done?" Gao Wang looked at Chu Mu and said with a frivolous smile.
"I'm done warming up." Chu Mu replied indifferently.
