His head felt dizzy and his body felt heavy. It was as if there was a mountain pressing down on his body. His consciousness was a little dazed. Every step he took felt like he was floating, as if he was stepping on cotton.
This was the result of overusing his mind.
It was very uncomfortable. His head felt dizzy, as if a huge rock had been stuffed into it. His head felt like it was going to split open. His body and limbs were not listening to him. Chu Mu did not want to experience this feeling a second time.
Although it was unbearable, the harvest was delightful because Chu Mu had successfully comprehended the Metal Sword Technique, Wood Sword Technique, Water Sword Technique, Fire Sword Technique, and finally the Earth Sword Technique.
Comprehending the five sword techniques didn't mean that Chu Mu had grasped the Five Elemental Sword Technique. If he still had some mental strength left, he could continue comprehending and combine the five sword techniques into a Five Elemental Sword Technique. Unfortunately, when comprehending the Earth Sword Technique, he had already exhausted all of his mental strength. If he wanted to combine the five sword techniques into a Five Elemental Sword Technique, he would have to work harder in the future.
What was worth being happy about was that after comprehending the five sword arts, Chu Mu received five hundred flying points as a reward. This was the rule of the Flying Heaven Pavilion. To comprehend the Flying Heaven murals, one had to pay five hundred flying points. If one comprehended a sword art or sword skill from the murals, one would receive flying points as a reward.
At this point, the flying points in Chu Mu's identity token had increased by several times, reaching six hundred and thirty points. As long as he recovered his mental strength, he would be able to comprehend the murals again.
His footsteps were as light as a feather as he walked on the path back to Soaring Sky Academy. A group of people was walking towards him. Because he was in a trance, their appearances were a little blurry in Chu Mu's eyes. Their voices were also a little fleeting when they entered Chu Mu's ears, as if they were coming from a distant place and gradually dissipating.
"Senior Brother, the disciples of the Soaring Sky Court are too weak."
"Actually, I have always felt that our Flying Heaven Pavilion should abolish the Soaring Sky Court and raise the standards of recruiting disciples. A group of people with average talent who can only cultivate to the King Realm is not very useful."
"However, that Zhong Muchen actually has a grade four sword skill. He is really amazing."
"Powerful? That depends on who he's compared to. Our Sky Fair Academy's chief senior brother doesn't even need to make a move. Just the second-ranked senior brother, Tao, is enough to defeat him. If it's the chief senior brother, defeating Zhong Muchen might only require a single sword strike. "
His voice carried a hint of arrogance, and it seemed to come from a distant time and space. It vaguely entered Chu Mu's ears. However, at this time, Chu Mu found it difficult to concentrate.
"Isn't that Chu Mu?"
"Chu Mu? Is he the new disciple who broke the record in the entrance exam, broke the record in the number of profound meanings he comprehended, and broke the record again because of his low cultivation talent? "At first, he was surprised, then he mocked.
In a trance, Chu Mu felt many sharp gazes landing on his body. There were also several tyrannical Divine Senses sweeping over his body unscrupulously, shrouding him and even attempting to penetrate into his body.
This was a very rude behavior, a very serious provocation. It was contempt for others. It was like trespassing on someone's important place without permission. It was normal to draw a sword in anger.
His body was being brazenly swept by a few divine senses. This was a disguised form of humiliation. Chu Mu wanted to use his divine senses to counterattack, but he was powerless because he had used up too much of his mental strength. A sliver of anger appeared in his heart. While his mind was in a trance, the anger was like a candle flickering in the wind.
"No matter how good your comprehension ability is, no matter how many profound meanings you comprehend, so long as your cultivation talent doesn't increase, you can only be a king among ants," sneered Cao Qingfeng.
"Treasures that can increase one's cultivation talent are rare. Even if you spend your entire life, you might not be able to obtain one." Tao Shixiong indifferently said, "Even if you can raise your cultivation to grade four, it still can't compare to our future achievements."
The disdain in his voice was very clear.
Several Divine Senses left Chu Mu's body. The people from the Flat Sky Academy passed by Chu Mu. One of them seemed to intentionally use his shoulder to bump into Chu Mu. As a result, Chu Mu's body swayed and staggered, almost falling down.
"As expected of a genius who broke three records in a row. The way you walk is completely different from us ordinary people." Not only did the person who bumped into Chu Mu not feel the slightest bit apologetic, but he even laughed mockingly.
Chu Mu swore that no matter what happened in the future, he would never exhaust his mental strength.
Originally, he had only wanted to properly grasp this rare opportunity to comprehend the swordsmanship murals. He had been so immersed in comprehending the murals that he hadn't considered anything else. It was also because the Flying Heaven Pavilion was relatively safe that he felt more at ease.
What he hadn't expected was that although his life wasn't in danger, he would still be humiliated.
Chu Mu would remember this. He would personally return this humiliation. A flame quietly appeared in his heart, burning.
… …
After two days and two nights, Chu Mu's mental strength finally recovered completely.
The feeling of having his mental strength fully recovered was very good, very good. The dizziness and powerlessness were all swept away, and he felt carefree as if he had been reborn.
"Flat Sky Academy … In the near future, I will personally go there and wipe you all out." Chu Mu stood up in the Stone Pavilion and muttered to himself. His tone was unprecedentedly firm.
After his mental strength recovered completely, Chu Mu drew his sword and began to cultivate the swordsmanship he had comprehended from the murals.
First, he cultivated the Metal Sword Technique.
The Metal Sword Technique had nine moves, and each move was more difficult than the last. However, Chu Mu easily displayed the first three moves and fully demonstrated the profoundness within them. He spent a little more time on the fourth move, but he was able to completely display it. The fifth, sixth, and seventh moves were bottlenecks.
After several rounds of cultivation, although he could only truly display the sixth move, Chu Mu felt that his understanding of the profoundness of metal had been straightened out. It gradually formed a system in his mind, which helped him deepen his understanding of the profoundness of metal and further increase his control and application of it.
He stopped cultivating the Metal Sword Technique and began to cultivate the Wood Sword Technique, then the Water Sword Technique, the Fire Sword Technique, and finally the Earth Sword Technique.
Chu Mu had only cultivated the sixth move of each of the five sword techniques. Of course, he could still completely display the stances of the seventh, eighth, and ninth moves. However, he couldn't display the profoundness within them because he hadn't comprehended them to that level yet.
"The Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Sword Techniques must be combined into a single Five Elements Sword Technique to save me more time." Sheathing his sword, Chu Mu began to think about how to combine the Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Sword Techniques into a single Five Elements Sword Technique.
There were three benefits to combining the Five Elements Sword Techniques into a single Five Elements Sword Technique.
First, it saved time to cultivate the Five Elements Sword Techniques. The time required to cultivate a single Five Elements Sword Technique was different. The latter required five times more time than the former.
Second, it increased the efficiency of cultivating the Five Elements Sword Techniques. As long as he cultivated a single Five Elements Sword Technique, he would be able to comprehend the profoundness of the five Forces of Heaven and Earth. The efficiency was clearly much higher than cultivating the Five Elements Sword Techniques individually.
Third, it allowed him to obtain more Flight Points. The Flying Heaven Pavilion had a rule that comprehending the Sword Techniques from the murals would be rewarded with Flight Points. Similarly, cultivating the Sword Techniques into a single Five Elements Sword Technique would also be rewarded.
He sat down cross-legged and cleared his mind of all distracting thoughts. He began to replay the Five Elements Sword Techniques in his mind, breaking them down one by one.
On the path of the sword, Chu Mu's talent was unique. Adding on his perception, he was able to better comprehend sword techniques and grasp the essence of the mysteries within.
Breaking down move by move, half a day later, the first six moves of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth sword arts were broken down by Chu Mu one by one. Next, he would naturally recombine these sword moves to form a new sword move.
Recombining was much more difficult than breaking them down.
Chu Mu did not bite off more than he could chew. He began to recombine the Five Elements Sword Techniques from the first Five Elements Sword Techniques.
The first Five Elements Sword Technique was the simplest. Breaking down the Five Elements Sword Technique was the easiest.
However, recombining the Five Elements Sword Techniques was ten times harder than breaking them down. For a moment, Chu Mu was unable to recombine the Five Elements Sword Techniques into a new Five Elements Sword Technique. He kept feeling that something was missing, like a primer.
"Primer …" Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind. Chu Mu recalled what Xia Yunfei had told him, "The Lesser Flying Heaven Sword Technique is the foundation of all Sword Techniques in the Flying Heaven Pavilion …"
The Lesser Flying Heaven Sword Technique's moves appeared in his mind. He performed them one by one until he reached the eleventh move.
"So that's how it is. The Lesser Flying Heaven Sword Technique has ninety-nine moves. When all eleven moves are combined, they are actually one move."
"If I use the eleven moves of the Lesser Flying Heaven Sword Technique as a primer to integrate the Five Elements Sword Techniques …"
Chu Mu hurriedly began to deduce. This was a mental task that consumed a lot of mental energy. However, he was in his Sword Gauntlet at this moment. Without his permission, no one else could enter. Therefore, he felt more at ease.
Fully immersing himself in the derivation, he used the Small Flying Heavens Sword Technique's first move as a primer to absorb the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Indeed, the first move was much smoother than Chu Mu had imagined.
The essence of the disintegrated Sword Technique was gradually absorbed into the first move of the Lesser Flying Heaven Sword Technique. Under Chu Mu's deduction, it began to fuse.
This was a transformation. The transformation of the Sword Technique was gradually sublimated under Chu Mu's deduction and fusion. It transcended the original shackles and reached a new height.
The process of fusion went smoothly, but the progress was very slow. Time passed bit by bit. Chu Mu was immersed in it and was unaware of it.
Finally, the disintegrated Sword Technique's essence, with the Lesser Flying Heaven Sword Technique's first move as a primer, began to form the framework of a brand new Sword Technique. Then, it slowly perfected and filled the interior, causing the new Sword Technique to gradually take shape and be perfected.
Finally, the new Sword Technique was completed.
A strange feeling arose spontaneously, causing Chu Mu's mind to tremble.
In the spiritual world, a phantom held a transparent sword. There seemed to be five colors flashing on the sword. When the sword was swung, Chu Mu, who was sitting cross-legged in the outside world, suddenly leaped up. The Sword of No Return overlapped with the phantom in the spiritual world as he swung his sword.
