Wang Chang and Wang Yi were quickly carried away for treatment. Chu Mu also told Yan Kuan the reason for his visit. Yan Kuan immediately used the Aura Observation Technique to confirm that Chu Mu had indeed reached the fourth stage of the Sword Qi Boundary. In the future, he would no longer need to do any missions.
In addition, reaching the fourth stage of the Sword Qi Boundary meant that he was qualified to be trained by the Green Edge Sword Sect. Chu Mu could move out of his original wooden house and find an empty one in the northern district of the outer disciples.
Those below the fourth stage of the Sword Qi Boundary could live in a wooden house with three people, but once they reached the fourth stage of the Sword Qi Boundary, they could enjoy the right to live in a single wooden house. Not only would they have more time to cultivate, but they would also have an environment where they would not be easily disturbed. Moreover, their meals would be more delicious and nutritious.
During this time, Yan Kuan also expressed that if this matter was brought to the Sword Sect, he would stand on Chu Mu's side and testify that he was forced to fight back and did not take the initiative to attack.
In this way, Chu Mu would not be punished. Instead, it would be Wang Chang and Wang Yi who would suffer.
On one hand, Yan Kuan was indeed somewhat angry with Wang Chang and Wang Yi. On the other hand, he saw with his own eyes that Chu Mu not only broke through Wang Chang and Wang Yi's joint attack, he even countered their Flying Cloud Sword Technique and heavily injured them.
This was something that even Yan Kuan, a seventh stage Sword Qi Boundary expert, could not do. How sharp of a vision and deep of a understanding of sword techniques were required to do so?
Therefore, Yan Kuan felt that Chu Mu's talent in sword techniques was not to be underestimated. Such a person was indeed weak now, but he had the potential to become a strong expert. Yan Kuan's goodwill was actually a kind of early investment. Speaking of which, he did not have to pay any price.
In addition, Yan Kuan also made it clear that Wang Lei was nothing. Although he was stronger than Wang Chang and Wang Yi, he was only at the fifth stage of the Sword Qi Boundary. The main reason was that Wang Lei was related to an inner disciple.
This inner disciple was called Wang Feng. Like Wang Lei, Wang Chang and Wang Yi, he came from the same family. He was also Wang Lei's elder brother. His cultivation was at the eighth stage of the Sword Qi Boundary, he was the real threat.
Fortunately, Wang Feng was out training and would not be back so soon.
"Wang Lei's cultivation is at the fifth stage of the Sword Qi Realm. With my cultivation at the fourth stage of the Sword Qi Realm, coupled with my understanding and mastery of swordsmanship, I might not be at a disadvantage even if I were to fight Wang Lei." After leaving the Chore Hall, Chu Mu headed to the Sword Pavilion as he thought to himself, "But Wang Lei has a relationship with an inner disciple, and that inner disciple is his elder brother. This is a little troublesome. Inner disciples have to be at least at the seventh level of the Sword Qi realm before they are qualified to apply.
In other words, every Inner Disciple has to be at least at the seventh level of the Sword Qi realm. The current me is no match for them at all. Moreover, Wang Feng was at the eighth stage of the Sword Qi Realm, which was even stronger than the seventh stage. In addition, outer court disciples are not allowed to take the initiative to provoke inner court disciples. Otherwise, it would be a violation of the sect rules. However, inner court disciples have the authority to suppress outer court disciples. While Wang Feng is back, I have to quickly increase my strength. Every moment is precious. "
Chu Mu immediately felt the pressure double. Wang Feng was Wang Lei's elder brother, and Wang Chang and Wang Yi were Wang Lei's lackeys. He did not think that Wang Feng would treat him well after knowing about this.
An hour later, they arrived at the Sword Pavilion.
The Sword Pavilion was a pavilion. It wasn't very big, and the surroundings were spacious.
There were a total of three floors in the Sword Pavilion. They were divided into left and right, and each floor was guarded by an elder. The left floor was for swordsmanship, while the right floor was for Sword Qi Arts.
"Do you know that only by learning the Flying Cloud Sword Technique can one have the qualifications to enter the Left Sword Pavilion to choose a new sword technique or movement technique?" The Sword Pavilion Guardian Elder indifferently glanced at Chu Mu and spoke neither quickly nor slowly.
"Elder, I have already mastered the Flying Cloud Sword Art." Chu Mu saluted with his sword and replied.
"Practice it once," the elder said.
Drawing his sword, Zhang Xuan began practicing the Flying Cloud Sword Art. His movements were smooth and fluid, and when he reached the final three stances, he executed them without any hesitation.
The elder's eyes lit up, and he nodded his head. There was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Yes, not bad. You've mastered the Flying Cloud Sword Technique. You can choose a sword technique from the Left Sword Pavilion." The elder's voice was still calm. "Remember, you can only enter the first floor, and you only have an incense's time to make your choice. You are not allowed to destroy the books inside, or else you will be punished according to the sect rules."
"I'll remember it, elder." Nodding his head, the elder lit up an incense stick. Chu Mu quickly walked into the Left Sword Pavilion.
The first floor of the Left Sword Pavilion was roughly a hundred square meters in size. There were brown wooden shelves erected on the walls, and the shelves were divided into many compartments. There were a lot of cubicles, probably a few hundred, but most of them were empty. There were only about fifty to sixty cubicles for books.
"So little." Zhang Xuan frowned. Recalling that he hadn't been in the Left Sword Pavilion for too long, he hurriedly made his move.
Other than the books in the compartments, there was also a note beside them. On it was written the names of the sword art, movement technique, and so on, so that it would be easier for those who entered the Left Sword Pavilion to search for them.
Spending half an incense's time, Zhang Xuan roughly browsed through the fifty to sixty books.
In addition to low-level sword techniques, there were also some movement techniques, footwork techniques, and so on. They were all at the low-level.
However, Chu Mu's main purpose in entering the Left Sword Pavilion was to choose a sword art. Thus, he chose a low-tier sword art instead.
The Breeze Sword Art was also known as the Nine Stances of the Breeze. The first seven stances didn't have a name, and the eighth and ninth stances were the essence of the entire sword art. They were known as the Breeze Blows and Breeze Kills.
After picking up the book, Zhang Xuan realized that he still had some time. He quickly walked over to the movement technique section, picked up a movement technique, and flipped through it.
The fusion of their souls gave Chu Mu extraordinary memory. He had a photographic memory.
"Time's up!" The elder's voice sounded, ignoring the distance between them. Chu Mu happened to flip to the last page of the movement technique, and all the words and diagrams were imprinted in his mind.
He quickly put down the movement technique book and left the Left Sword Pavilion with the Breeze Sword Art.
"The Breeze Sword Art is indeed a decent sword art. It's said that its prowess surpasses all other low-tier sword arts. However, it's easy to learn, but difficult to master. Over the past few decades, none of the disciples who chose this sword art have managed to learn it. That's because this sword art seems to be lacking something." The elder said with a hint of pity in his voice, "Every disciple has a chance to change their sword art once every three days to a month. I suggest that you change your sword art when the time comes."
"Thank you for your kind intentions." The Breeze Sword Art was something that Zhang Xuan had picked out from dozens of low-tier sword arts. How could he change his sword art so easily?
"Okay." The elder handed the book over to Chu Mu. Although he felt a little pity, he didn't say anything about it, "Remember, you have to return this sword art book within three months. You are not allowed to copy it. If you discover it, you will be punished according to the sect's rules. Otherwise, you will have to compensate for it."
After Chu Mu received the book, he cupped his hands together and left with the book.
"This outer disciple actually managed to learn the Soaring Cloud Sword Art to the level of Dacheng. How rare." After Chu Mu left, the Sword Pavilion Guardian Elder muttered to himself and sighed, "Chu Mu, let me check when he entered the sect."
As he spoke, the elder started to check. Every disciple who joined the Sword Faction would receive the Soaring Cloud Sword Art. Naturally, there would be a registration. There were a few copies and the elder also had a copy.
"Chu Mu, ninth grade talent, joined the sect …" The elder's eyes widened in shock. He rubbed his eyes and looked again to make sure that he wasn't seeing things. After a while, he calmed down and said, "He actually managed to learn the Soaring Cloud Sword Art to the level of Dacheng in less than a month. Could it be that he had already come in contact with the Soaring Cloud Sword Art before he joined the sect? If that's not the case, it can only mean that he's a sword genius. He might be able to learn the Breeze Sword Art that no one has been able to learn for the past three years. Unfortunately, his talent is too low. "
"Whether he's a sword genius or not, let's see if he can learn the Breeze Sword Art within three months."
