"Greetings, Chief Senior Brother." The attention of several senior disciples was completely attracted by one of the newcomers, ignoring the fierce battle between Nie Xingkong and Chu Mu.
The new disciples also turned their heads to look at Zhong Muchen. They didn't know him, but when they heard how the senior disciples addressed him, they were all startled. The clever ones immediately reacted and said, "Greetings, Chief Senior Brother."
The new disciples who were slow to react also realized what was going on and saluted with their swords.
"Junior Brothers don't need to be so polite. I'm also here to watch the battle." Zhong Muchen revealed a gentle smile. He waved his sleeves and spoke to the crowd. His gaze slowly swept across the faces of the crowd, giving off a feeling of 'I'm being looked at by the chief senior'. Finally, his gaze landed on the battle arena.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Li." The senior disciples saluted the disciple next to Zhong Muchen. He was Li Qiyan, the second disciple of the Soaring Sky Court. He had a square face and a strong body, giving off an upright and plainspoken feeling.
"Junior Brothers, you may dispense with the formalities." Li Qiyan's voice was loud as he raised his hand. His gaze was fixed on the two sides on the battle stage.
Aside from the hundred new disciples, there weren't many senior disciples in the Soaring Sky Court, less than a hundred. They had all joined the Flying Heaven Pavilion in the past ten years.
There were two ways to join the Flying Heaven Pavilion. The first was that the Flying Heaven Pavilion opened its doors to recruit disciples. The number of disciples was usually large, but it only happened once every few years. The second way was an unofficial recruitment. There were many ways to join. Finally, after passing the entrance examination, one could become a disciple of the Flying Heaven Pavilion and be assigned to each court.
As the Chief Senior Brother of the Soaring Sky Court, Zhong Muchen rarely appeared. Most of the time, he was in seclusion to improve himself. Therefore, it was very difficult to see him. There were even some disciples who had joined the Soaring Sky Court for a year and hadn't seen him even once.
As for Li Qiyan and Nie Xingkong, although they weren't as rare as Zhong Muchen, they could only be seen once every few months. Therefore, when Li Qiyan and Zhong Muchen appeared at the same time, it inevitably caused some commotion.
After the commotion, everyone's attention was once again drawn to the battle on the Hundred Battle Platform.
Nie Xingkong was really powerful. The reason why Chu Mu was able to contend with him was that his Sword Essence Profound was much better than Nie Xingkong's. If they were at the same level of Profound, Chu Mu estimated that he would be defeated by Nie Xingkong's sword.
Although Nie Xingkong's fighting talent was not as good as his, Nie Xingkong had been cultivating for a longer period of time, and his cultivation environment was much better than his. Nie Xingkong's mastery of Profound Meanings and sword skills was also much better than his.
If not for Chu Mu's sword intent's mastery being higher than Nie Xingkong's, if not for Chu Mu's battle talent being higher than Nie Xingkong's, if not for his learning ability being higher than Nie Xingkong's, if not for all these reasons, he wouldn't be on par with Nie Xingkong right now.
The more he fought, the more excited Nie Xingkong became. Apart from Li Qiyan and Zhong Muchen, he now had another opponent in the Soaring Sky Academy, an opponent that he could fight to his heart's content.
Offensive Sword Skills, Defensive Sword Skills, Agility Sword Skills, and so on were used alternately. Sword Skills and Sword Skills were used alternately, sometimes far, sometimes close.
"It's been a few months since we last met. Junior Martial Brother Nie's strength has increased again," said Li Qiyan.
"Our new Junior Martial Brother is even more extraordinary," said Zhong Muchen with a smile. Soon after, he asked the senior disciple next to him. The reason he came to the Hundred Battle Tower was because he had just come out of seclusion and had a sudden impulse to go to the Hundred Battle Tower.
Part of the reason was because of the impulse, and part of the reason was because he had been in seclusion for a long time and wanted to walk around to relax. He just happened to run into Li Qiyan, who had just come out of seclusion. When Li Qiyan saw Zhong Muchen, he wanted to challenge him to test the results of his seclusion. Therefore, they came to the Hundred Battle Tower.
He didn't expect to see such a wonderful battle as soon as he arrived at the Hundred Battle Tower.
"Chief Senior Martial Brother, Junior Martial Brother Chu is one of the newly recruited disciples of the Flying Heaven Pavilion. He has just been assigned to our Soaring Sky Academy. His situation is a little special." Xia Yunfei, who was the most familiar with Chu Mu, immediately explained, "During the pavilion entrance examination, Junior Martial Brother Chu used less than seven minutes to break Senior Martial Brother Qin Tianyi's record."
"What?!" Zhong Muchen and Li Qiyan were shocked, and their expressions changed greatly.
They had also gone through the entrance examination and knew very well how difficult it was to comprehend the Lesser Flying Heaven Sword Art in half a quarter of an hour and pass the examination. There was actually someone who could comprehend the Lesser Flying Heaven Sword Art in half a quarter of an hour and break the record left behind by Senior Brother Qin Tianyi. Were they hearing things?
They had also imagined that one day, a peerlessly talented disciple would come to the Flying Heaven Pavilion and break Senior Martial Brother Qin Tianyi's record. But they had never imagined that it would happen so quickly, as if they didn't have any time to prepare.
"Junior Martial Brother Xia, Junior Martial Brother Chu's comprehension ability is so high, and I can see that his Sword Intent and Profound Meaning aren't low either. Why was he assigned to our Soaring Sky Academy?" Zhong Muchen asked. There weren't many senior disciples, so he recognized every one of them.
Li Qiyan was also puzzled.
"Junior Martial Brother Chu broke Senior Martial Brother Qin Tianyi's record during the pavilion entrance examination. Even if his comprehension ability isn't better than Senior Martial Brother Qin Tianyi's, it's close. Moreover, his Sword Intent and Profound Meaning have been tempered to the limit of the Eighth Revolution, and he even broke the Flying Heaven Pavilion's record in terms of the number of Profound Meanings he comprehended," Xia Yunfei said.
"Broke the record …" Zhong Muchen and Li Qiyan looked at each other.
"Could it be that he has comprehended more than seven?"
"Yes, Junior Martial Brother Chu has comprehended eight Profound Meanings, and each of them has been tempered to the limit of the Eighth Revolution," Xia Yunfei said with certainty. Zhong Muchen and Li Qiyan were shocked. Shortly after, Xia Yunfei smiled bitterly. "It's a pity that the heavens don't favor us. Perhaps Junior Martial Brother Chu's talent is too outstanding, and the heavens are jealous of him. His cultivation talent is too low, and he's only …"
Before Xia Yunfei could finish, Li Qiyan interrupted him. "Low Rank Four?"
In the Soaring Sky Academy, the lowest cultivation talent was at the middle Rank Four. Low Rank Four was the lowest level he could think of.
"It would be good if he was only at the low Rank Four, but he's at the low Rank Five …" Xia Yunfei sighed.
Zhong Muchen and Li Qiyan were stunned again. Their little friend was gone.
They thought they were hallucinating again.
Low Rank Five?
He didn't even reach the Rank Four? Didn't that mean his cultivation would stop at the limit of the Divine Condensation Realm?
"Treasures that can increase one's cultivation talent are rare, but treasures that can increase one's cultivation talent from the Rank Five to the Rank Four should be relatively easy to obtain. I hope Junior Martial Brother Chu can get it." Zhong Muchen's expression returned to normal, and he sighed softly. He sighed because a peerless genius might stop at the Divine Condensation Realm.
Although there were treasures that could increase one's cultivation talent, they were very rare. Could he get it? When could he get it? It was a big problem.
Li Qiyan also sighed and didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of regret. He had the same thought as Zhong Muchen.
It was like seeing a beautiful work of art, but suddenly discovering a flaw that couldn't be ignored. The regret in his heart burst forth like a tide.
Chu Mu didn't know about their regret. He was fully focused on the battle with Nie Xingkong. While fighting, he was also recording, analyzing, absorbing, and improving himself little by little. He was like a sponge.
Zhong Muchen found another amazing thing about Chu Mu, that was learning. His eyesight was unmatched except for Chu Mu, and he could see the subtle changes. Naturally, he could also see that in the battle between Chu Mu and Nie Xingkong, Nie Xingkong didn't improve at all, while Chu Mu was constantly making adjustments. Every adjustment was subtle, but every adjustment made his sword movements smoother.
Zhong Muchen was envious of such a talent.
"Comprehension comparable to Senior Brother Qin Tianyi, eight peak rank eight profundities, astonishing learning ability and battle talent, all of these can create an expert that stands at the top of the same level. What a pity, his cultivation talent is only at low stage fifth grade …" Zhong Muchen's shock and regret grew even more.
Li Qiyan's eyesight was not as good as Zhong Muchen's, so he couldn't see the changes in Chu Mu. But Nie Xingkong could feel that the more he fought with Chu Mu, the more Chu Mu was constantly making adjustments. The pressure on him was increasing little by little.
A little pressure was nothing, and it didn't affect him, but it accumulated little by little and gradually increased, which began to make him feel uncomfortable.
He raised his sword and used the sword skill, Volcanic Explosion.
His body moved, and he slashed out with his sword again, Thunder Explosion.
Under the continuous battle and learning from Nie Xingkong, Chu Mu could already use two third rank sword skills in a short time, but it was still not enough to use them almost at the same time. He still needed to improve.
"I wonder who will win?" Li Qiyan looked at the fierce battle between the two sides and whispered.
"If there are no accidents, Junior Brother Nie shouldn't be able to defeat Junior Brother Chu." Zhong Muchen said. He estimated conservatively that Nie Xingkong couldn't defeat Chu Mu, and there were only two results. One was a tie, and the other was being defeated by Chu Mu. Li Qiyan felt that it should be the first result.
Zhong Muchen also felt that it was the first result, but there was an unexpected voice in his heart that seemed to be telling him that Chu Mu would win.
This was a high-intensity battle, and the consumption of Sword Energy and physical strength was very obvious.
Wind Slayer Sword, the vibration force repelled Nie Xingkong once again. At the same time, Chu Mu's left hand was like a sword, and he pointed out with his finger, which was a first rank sword skill.
Nie Xingkong couldn't dodge in time, so he could only wave his sword to shatter the lightning. Chu Mu floated closer, and slashed out with his sword, Wind Slayer Sword attacked again.
Seizing the initiative, Ye Xiwen continued to attack. He alternated between using the No Return Sword and his left hand's sword fingers, and Nie Xingkong was repelled again and again.
Another Thunder Explosion, and a tyrannical power instantly erupted. It was even more ferocious than Volcanic Explosion. The aftershock hit Nie Xingkong's body, and the layer of invisible protective energy immediately collapsed.
When the energy dissipated, it meant that Nie Xingkong was defeated, and the battle was over.
"Junior Brother Chu, you won." Nie Xingkong was stunned at first, but he soon smiled and said. He took out a thousand high-grade Profound Crystals and ten flying points, and gave them to Chu Mu.
