The atmosphere in the Flat Sky Academy was gloomy.
"The chief disciple was actually defeated …"
"I didn't expect that the chief disciple would actually lose to someone from the Soaring Sky Academy."
The disciples of the Flat Sky Academy were extremely dispirited. It was as if the pillar in their hearts had suddenly collapsed. It was as if they had lost all hope.
Xiao Ling had always been the pride of the disciples of the Flat Sky Academy. But today, the pride in their hearts had been defeated before their very eyes. The pride and arrogance in their hearts had also been shattered.
It was as if all of them had lost their motivation. They hung their heads dejectedly.
"Take a look at yourselves. What have you all become?" Tao Shixiong's face was ashen. He was furious at their failure to fight. He roared at the disciples of the Flat Sky Academy, "The reason why our Flat Sky Academy is ranked higher than the Soaring Sky Academy isn't just because our chief disciple is strong. It's also because our talent is above the Soaring Sky Academy's disciples."
The dejected disciples raised their heads and looked at Tao Shixiong, who was shouting excitedly.
"No one can win all the time. Everyone has to face failure again and again. Only by picking yourself up from failure again and again, and working hard to improve yourself and strengthen yourself, and strive to win the next time. Only then can you be a true swordsman." Tao Shixiong's tone softened slightly. "Remember, our head disciple brother is also a human. He can win or lose. We can't turn the glory of the Heavenly Peace Academy into a burden on our head disciple brother. We should bear a part of it. Remember, each one of us is more talented than the disciples of the Soaring Sky Courtyard. This failure is only temporary. It can motivate us even more, so that we don't get carried away. It can alert us and make us work even harder. "
"The path of a swordsman isn't about a moment, but a lifetime." Tao Shixiong's tone was even gentler, but it was also more powerful. "Everyone must remember that in the future, we will walk even further than the Soaring Sky Academy's disciples. In the future, we will leave them far behind. They won't even have the chance to catch up."
His heavy and forceful words gradually dispelled the disciples' dejection and awakened their fighting spirit. All of them began to pull themselves back together.
"Senior Brother Tao is right. We are fighting for a lifetime, not a moment. Even if we lose this time, it's just a fluke. In the future, we will walk further than them and become stronger."
"That's right. The strength of the Flat Sky Academy is not only the responsibility of the head disciple. It is also the responsibility of all of us."
"That's right. Furthermore, I believe that although the chief disciple was defeated in the previous battle, if it had been a true life and death battle, the loser would have definitely been Chu Mu."
These words were not without reason. Due to the invisible protective energy, the swordsmen were more or less hoping for a fluke. In addition, they did not use any secret techniques to increase their strength.
After all, this was only a challenge and not a life-and-death battle. Secret techniques often had side effects, so there was no need to use them.
Of course, they didn't know that if Chu Mu and Xiao Ling were to fight to the death, the one who would die would definitely be Xiao Ling. This was because no one knew the true strength of Chu Mu. Once he unleashed his true strength, it would be extremely tyrannical. Even Chu Mu himself wasn't very clear about it.
"Let's go and cultivate. We'll increase our strength first before turning the tables."
…
"Come, cheers!"
The situation in the Soaring Sky Academy was completely different from the Flat Sky Academy. The disciples of the Soaring Sky Academy were all so excited that they almost forgot themselves.
In the Hundred Battles Tower of the Soaring Sky Academy, all the disciples of the Soaring Sky Academy were present. Each and every one of them was holding a cup of wine and drinking to their heart's content. It was as if they had let go of all their worries.
Drinking, drinking, drinking. There had never been a time when they drank so freely and joyfully.
This was the first time since the establishment of the Soaring Sky Academy. The chief disciple of the Soaring Sky Academy had defeated the chief disciple of the Flat Sky Academy, fulfilling the wish of the Soaring Sky Academy's disciples for many years: to soar to the heavens in one go.
The difference in talent seemed to have been erased in an instant.
"Chief disciple, let me toast you."
"I suggest that we toast our chief disciple together. Without him, we wouldn't have been able to fulfill this wish."
"Let's toast to our chief disciple."
Several hundred disciples of the Soaring Sky Academy stood up one after another. Each of them held a cup of wine and surrounded Chu Mu. They were extremely excited as they raised their cups high.
Chu Mu also raised his cup with a smile. After a circle, he drank to his heart's content.
The pressure that had accumulated in their hearts for many years was completely released at this moment. They drank to their heart's content. Some lost their self-control, some were sad and some were happy. Some even cried and laughed.
Nie Xingkong and Li Qiyan had their arms around each other's shoulders. Zhong Muchen was also different from his usual indifference. He seemed to have lost his self-control. There was no need to suppress it. When he should be happy, he should be happy. When he should be laughing, he should be laughing. Perhaps this would be the only time.
After drinking for more than two hours, everyone was a little tipsy.
"Alright, fellow disciples. Because of our chief disciple, our Soaring Sky Academy has realized the wish of soaring to the heavens in one go." Zhong Muchen's body swayed slightly as he stood up. "Today, let's drink to celebrate. Now that the celebration is almost over, I believe that the pressure that has accumulated in everyone's hearts has mostly been released."
"Haha, Senior Brother Zhong is right."
"It is all thanks to our chief disciple that we are able to achieve this today. Let's invite our chief disciple to say a few words," Nie Xingkong said. He even burped, causing a burst of laughter.
Chu Mu also stood up. The laughter immediately died down as everyone looked at him.
"I'm very happy to be able to enter the Soaring Sky Academy and become fellow disciples with everyone." Chu Mu was also a little tipsy. This was the first time he had drunk so much wine. Influenced by everyone, he couldn't help feeling a little excited. "Actually, today's victory is insignificant for our path. We can be happy, but we can't place too much importance on it. We should set our sights further. Only by seeing further can we walk further."
"I won't say any superfluous words. Everyone isn't stupid. I only hope that after today's celebration, those who should be drunk will be drunk, and those who should be crazy will be crazy. After tomorrow, everyone should work harder in cultivating. Strength is your own, not someone else's." Chu Mu finally said, "I am no exception. I will constantly strive for self-improvement."
"Constantly strive for self-improvement!" The disciples shouted in unison.
"Constantly strive for self-improvement!" Suddenly, a cold snort came from outside. It carried a trace of ridicule. "What a nice slogan. Unfortunately, talent determines one's achievements."
"Only by seeing further can we walk further. Isn't this saying too boastful?" Another sarcastic voice said, "Don't forget about your talents. No matter how far you can see, you're just watching others go further."
The mocking voice immediately infuriated the drunken Soaring Sky Academy disciples.
"Who is it?"
"Get out here!"
Several hundred angry gazes swept over the Hundred Battles Pavilion's entrance. Three figures appeared — two men and one woman. They gave off a sharp aura as they walked in with large strides.
They showed no fear in the face of several hundred angry gazes.
When Zhong Muchen saw the three, his eyes narrowed, and he seemed to sober up a little. His expression also changed slightly.
"What advice do the three of you have?" As the top disciple of the Soaring Sky Academy, Chu Mu had the responsibility to stand up. He circulated his Sword Origin, and the smell of alcohol quickly dissipated. He quickly sobered up.
"We are indeed here to advise you," one of the three female disciples said with a smile as she stared at Chu Mu. Her gaze turned sharp as she said, "You are Chu Mu? The new top disciple of the Soaring Sky Academy, the genius who broke the record in the pavilion's entrance examination and comprehended eight profundities and refined them to the limit of the eighth revolution? "
"Unfortunately, your cultivation talent is only at the low fifth grade. Even if you have the opportunity to find a heavenly treasure to raise your cultivation talent in the future, it can only be raised to the fourth grade. You can only look at our backs for the rest of your life," the other person said with a mischievous smile.
"My talent has nothing to do with you, right?" Chu Mu did not get angry. He only smiled and said unhurriedly.
"Of course, it has nothing to do with us. We also won't have anything to do with a cultivation trash like you." When the third person opened his mouth, his tone was sharp and his words were sharp. He didn't show any mercy, and his words were like a sharp sword that wanted to cut Chu Mu into pieces.
"Senior Brother Chu, they're from the Skysoar Academy. I recognize them. They're Wang Wei, Sun Yuan, and Xuanji Wuyue from the Skysoar Academy. They're ranked third and fourth in the Skysoar Academy. Although Xuanji Wuyue isn't ranked in the top ten, she's on good terms with the second-ranked Liu Ye. It is said that Wang Wei and Sun Yuan have both comprehended the Imperial Sword Art. Their sword intent and profundities have all been refined to the limit of the eighth revolution. They are even stronger than Xiao Ling. " Zhong Muchen's voice condensed into a thread and entered Chu Mu's ears, allowing him to understand the origins of these three.
"Xuanji Wuyue …" Chu Mu's gaze fell on the beautiful woman with a perfect figure. She was Xuanji Wuyue's elder sister.
Half a year ago, Chu Mu received news that Tianqiao Yu had done everything possible to reach the Flying Heaven Pavilion. Although he didn't pay much attention to it, he still remembered it. However, after half a year of peace, he had almost forgotten about it.
Back then, Chu Mu had thought that the conflict between Tianqiaoyu and Xuanji Tyrannical was nothing much. He had only defeated Leng Changfeng and lost face for Xuanji Tyrannical. Xuanji Wuyue wouldn't find trouble with him over this. It seemed that his thinking was wrong.
What was to come would come in the end. In fact, it was coming now.
However, Chu Mu was not afraid. He would deal with whatever came his way.
"I heard that before you became a disciple of the Flying Heaven Pavilion, you were very impressive," Xuanji Wuyue said coldly. Xuanji Wuyue said coldly. She didn't say it clearly, but Chu Mu vaguely knew that she was referring to the matter of Xuanji Wudao losing face.
"Impressive? You need to have the corresponding strength." Sun Yuan smiled. He turned into a Sword Light and passed through the crowd, landing on the Hundred Battle Stage. Looking down from above, he drew his Sword Light and locked his sharp aura on Chu Mu. "Chu Mu, come up. Let me teach you what kind of person is qualified to be impressive."
"Chief Senior Brother, defeat him!"
"Yes, let them know that our Soaring Sky Court is not to be trifled with!" Soaring Sky Court's disciples roared.
"Chief Senior Brother, we believe in you."
