The tenth inner palace disciple, a Peak Divine Condensation Realm swordsman, had also been defeated by Chu Mu. The entire arena was silent.
The inner palace elders also nodded secretly. This person's strength was indeed powerful. Although they did not know why the third palace master had sent out the news to establish the title of Young Palace Master for Chu Mu, it seemed that it was not a bad idea.
Chu Mu had hidden his aura, so very few people could tell that his cultivation had already reached the Peak Divine Condensation Realm. They only felt that he had just broken through to the Divine Condensation Realm.
Now that Chu Mu had displayed such powerful strength, they had to take him seriously.
At this time, ordinary inner palace disciples would not go up and embarrass themselves. They only hoped that the inner palace top hundred disciples would step up and teach Chu Mu a lesson.
The top hundred inner palace disciples were all very powerful. They had the strength to easily defeat ordinary Peak Divine Condensation Realm swordsman. It would be safer for them to step up.
The inner palace top hundred disciples were not idiots. They did not step up from the beginning because they wanted to observe Chu Mu's strength.
No matter what, Chu Mu was still first place in the outer palace's Hundred Year Tournament. He had also entered the Divine Wilderness Mystic Realm. He must have gained something and his strength must have increased by a lot. They could not treat him like an ordinary swordsman.
Sure enough, it was fine if he did not make a move, but once he made a move, he defeated ten Inner Palace disciples in a row. He did not even pant, and he did it casually. He did not even draw his sword, and he defeated his opponents one after another.
As inner palace top hundred disciples, they valued their reputation and would not easily step up.
"If there is no one else, the challenge will end here." After fifteen minutes, no one stepped up. An inner palace elder said.
Although every inner palace disciple had the chance to challenge Chu Mu, it did not mean that Chu Mu had to stay here and wait for others to challenge him. If they wanted to challenge him, they had to hurry up. Everyone's time was precious.
As soon as the inner palace elder said that, someone could not hold it in.
Although Chu Mu's strength was not bad, it was not enough for them to acknowledge his position as Young Palace Master.
"This time, let me do it." Said a voice. Then, a shadow flashed and a figure appeared on the battle arena. It was a one-eyed inner court disciple.
"Qiu Wugang is about to make his move."
"Qiu Wugang, ranked 78th in the top 100. His left-handed sword is extremely sharp. He can definitely defeat Chu Mu."
Discussions immediately broke out below.
"Defeat me, and I'll acknowledge you as the Young Palace Master." Qiu Wugang said coldly. One of his eyes was covered by an eyepatch while the other was shining with a cold light. He stared at Chu Mu and said coldly.
The aura of the top 100 disciples was indeed incomparable to that of the other inner disciples. Every word, action, and action revealed a shocking sharpness.
However, this was the only way to raise Chu Mu's fighting spirit.
Chu Mu didn't agree to be challenged because he had nothing better to do. Instead, he wanted to use this opportunity to test his strength and see how far he had progressed.
Qiu Wugang slowly pulled out his sword. Chu Mu was slightly surprised to see him holding the sword in his left hand.
Left-handed swords were harder to master than right-handed swords. However, once mastered, it would be more unpredictable and difficult to deal with.
According to Chu Mu's knowledge, left-handed swords usually didn't use a wide range of movements. They were mainly unpredictable and hard to guard against.
With the sword in his hand, Qiu Wugang's aura suddenly changed. It was erratic and unpredictable. His body was slightly lowered and his center of gravity shifted. His upper body seemed to be swaying left and right, but it also seemed like he wasn't moving at all. It gave off a very strange feeling.
In Chu Mu's eyes, Qiu Wugang seemed to have turned into a poisonous snake, waiting for an opportunity to launch a fatal attack on its prey. The sword in his hand was like a snake's tongue, flicking in and out.
A cold aura spread out and swept past Chu Mu's body. The coldness immediately seeped into his body, but it couldn't move Chu Mu at all.
Chu Mu didn't move at all. Qiu Wugang didn't immediately attack because he felt that the Chu Mu standing in front of him was very strange. It was as if there were many openings in his body, but when he looked carefully, they disappeared without a trace. When he wasn't paying attention, those openings would reappear and he couldn't figure them out.
Qiu Wugang was most proficient in killing with one strike. He could kill his target with one strike and would never use a second strike. Therefore, he placed great importance on timing and was very unique. Once he made a move, it would definitely be a shocking strike.
Everyone's attention was attracted to Qiu Wugang. They looked at his every move. However, as they looked, most of the inner disciples who weren't as strong as Qiu Wugang felt that their vision was blurry and their minds were in a trance. It was as if they were hallucinating and felt drowsy.
Even swordsmen who were on par with Qiu Wugang or slightly stronger than him would be affected when they stared at Qiu Wugang.
However, Chu Mu's Divine Sense was very strong. Although his Sword Essence hadn't fully recovered, the Sword Essence of the Ninth Revolution was still sharp and unshakable. His vision could even see the trajectory of Qiu Wugang's every move clearly.
Chu Mu's sharp sixth sense could also feel that Qiu Wugang had used the Cloud Ultimacy. Clouds were good at changing and didn't have a fixed shape. Under the Cloud Ultimacy, his every move was even more confusing.
Chu Mu didn't take the initiative to attack. He was waiting for Qiu Wugang to attack. He wanted to see how strong Qiu Wugang was and whether he could make him attack.
Chu Mu might pay attention to the inner palace top hundred before he broke through. However, after he broke through, only the inner palace top thirty were worthy of his attention.
Qiu Wugang was only ranked seventy-eighth.
It was a stalemate because Qiu Wugang didn't find the best time to attack. A drop of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose.
Inadvertently, Chu Mu revealed a small opening. However, it was caught by Qiu Wugang and he instantly drew his sword. Like a venomous snake coming out of its hole, it was as fast as the aurora. The extreme sword light condensed into a line and pierced through the void.
First, he used the Cloud Ultimacy to confuse his opponent. Then, he attacked with the Wind Ultimacy. The speed was shockingly fast, and the power of the Metal Ultimacy was infused into it.
As expected of an inner palace top hundred disciple, Qiu Wugang had refined three ultimacies to the limit. Moreover, his usage of the ultimacy was many times better than that of a Origin Realm swordsman. He was able to fully unleash the true power of the ultimacy.
The sword infused with the Metal and Wind Ultimacy was not only fast, but also extremely sharp. Chu Mu could feel the sharpness within, as if it had pierced through his body first.
With a puchi sound, Chu Mu's body was pierced through. Qiu Wugang's expression didn't change. There wasn't a trace of joy on his face. Instead, he looked serious. He waved his sword, and after circling around his body, it turned into a green-gold cold star and stabbed to the right. Chu Mu happened to appear in that position.
Qiu Wugang had seen through his changes of position several times. Every time he attacked, Chu Mu had to dodge again.
Qiu Wugang's sword intent had reached the mid seventh revolution. His Cloud, Wind, and Metal Ultimacy had all reached the mid seventh revolution as well. This was the limit of his soul's potential. It was extremely powerful when used together.
Facing a powerful opponent like Qiu Wugang, Chu Mu had no choice but to use his sword.
As he unsheathed his sword, his aura changed. With a slight tremble, he immediately broke Qiu Wugang's sword. The increasingly powerful Mountain Quake Energy caused Qiu Wugang's sword to tremble violently. The energy transmitted through his sword, causing his arm to go numb. His sword almost slipped out of his hand.
Qiu Wugang, who was extremely experienced in battle, made a prompt decision to retreat. However, a cold star appeared in front of his eyes and approached him at an even faster speed.
Qiu Wugang's body trembled at a high frequency again. However, all of his actions were seen by Chu Mu. There was no way to avoid it. Chu Mu's sword was firmly pressed against Qiu Wugang's throat.
With just one move, he defeated Qiu Wugang.
It was unimaginable.
They didn't know that Chu Mu's sword technique attainments had already reached the peak of the tenth stage of the sword technique domain. In terms of timing, Chu Mu wasn't inferior to him in the slightest, and could even be said to be above him.
Qiu Wugang stared blankly at the sword that was pressed against his throat. His only eye was filled with disbelief. He was extremely shocked.
Even he couldn't imagine such an outcome.
"So powerful."
"Even Qiu Wugang was defeated by one move."
"Could it be that only the top 30 can defeat him?"
The top 30 and the top 100 were two different concepts. Although their cultivation levels were the same, their strengths were vastly different. The top 30 disciples could easily defeat any of the top 100 disciples.
If Chu Mu had defeated ten inner disciples in a row previously, it was shocking. Now that he had defeated Qiu Wugang so easily, they couldn't help but take him seriously.
Even Hou Qingming thought highly of Chu Mu. He even thought that if Chu Mu was given some time, would he be able to catch up with him?
Hou Qingming immediately shook his head. That was impossible. Maybe Chu Mu was talented and had great potential. He might not be inferior to Hou Qingming, but the problem was that Hou Qingming was way ahead of him. Moreover, Hou Qingming had benefited a lot from the trip to the Divine Barren Mysterious Land. During this period of time, his strength had improved significantly. No matter how fast Chu Mu's strength improved, it was impossible for him to surpass Hou Qingming.
Hou Qingming felt that he was worrying too much. Maybe one day, Chu Mu would replace him. However, at that time, Hou Qingming would definitely become the Sword Of Gojoseon. He would still be above Chu Mu.
"I heard that the top 30 inner disciples are very powerful. Why don't you choose one of them and fight with me?" Chu Mu said lightly.
Qiu Wugang had asked him to unsheathe his sword. However, he had only unsheathed his sword. His strength had not been fully displayed yet and he had already defeated his opponent.
Hou Qingming's battle intent had been aroused. He longed for a stronger opponent so that he could fight to his heart's content and test his strength.
The inner palace top thirty was a goal. A very good opponent. He hoped that they wouldn't disappoint him. Thinking of this, Chu Mu's blood unexpectedly began to boil. Threads of heat were emitted from his accelerated blood flow. Although his words were calm, they had successfully incited the anger of a few inner palace top thirty disciples.
