The sword is a weapon! Swordsmanship is a killing technique!
These words were spread around the three inner courtyards. Every disciple, elder, and elder knew about it. Even the Main Hall and the outer disciples had heard about it.
"The sword is a weapon, swordsmanship is a killing technique … Concise and perfect explanation." The elder of the Sword Pavilion repeated it and smiled as he muttered to himself, "This Chu Mu really surprises me."
The inner disciples of the three courtyards also firmly remembered this sentence. Maybe they couldn't understand the profoundness of it, but they felt that this sentence was very imposing and had a kind of peerless edge. Because of this, many inner disciples kept saying this sentence. Some inner disciples even said this sentence before they practiced swordsmanship. It seemed to make them look more imposing and more focused when practicing swordsmanship.
… …
In the 91st pavilion of the Towering Wind Courtyard, Li Wei brought the fragrant dishes to the balcony on the second floor for Chu Mu to eat. Li Wei's big eyes were filled with admiration and admiration.
"Senior Brother, the sword is a weapon, swordsmanship is a killing technique. This sentence, the more it is repeated, the more interesting it is. It seems to contain a great principle." Li Wei stuck out her tongue and said excitedly, "Also, everyone outside is saying that Senior Brother is the best swordsman in the three inner courtyards. Only Senior Brother Xiao Qianfeng of our Towering Wind Courtyard can compare with you."
When Chu Mu heard this, he only smiled and didn't care. He didn't care about titles like "best swordsmanship" or "best inner disciple". Those were just false titles. False titles would only bring him unnecessary trouble.
Only swordsmanship and swordsmanship were true.
He didn't know that right now, the three inner courtyards were having an intense debate about whether or not Chu Mu's title of "number one sword artist in the three inner courtyards" was true. Some believed that it was true, and some believed that it was absolutely true, while some believed that it wasn't true. This was because each of the three academies originally had the most powerful disciple.
Originally, the most powerful disciple of the Soaring Wind Courtyard was Xiao Qianfeng, who was at the eighth stage of the Sword Qi Realm. His sword techniques alone were unrivalled in the Soaring Wind Courtyard. As for the Rumbling Thunder Courtyard and the Jadewater Courtyard, they each had a disciple at the peak of the eighth stage, whose sword techniques were astonishing.
"That's right, Senior Brother Xiao Qianfeng and the others are indeed extremely formidable. However, do all of you think that they would be able to kill Dacheng, who is at the peak of the eighth level and has mastered an intermediate sword art, with a cultivation at the early stage of the seventh level of the Sword Qi Realm and without being injured?"
When this question was asked, everyone became silent. Even the loyal supporters of Xiao Qianfeng and the others didn't dare to say that Xiao Qianfeng and the others had such a battle record. It had to be known that the early stage of the eighth phase sword qi cultivation was two times that of the early stage of the seventh phase, and the peak of the eighth phase was three times that of the early stage of the seventh phase. Adding on the purity of the sword qi, the difference was even greater.
What kind of swordsmanship? Was that why he was able to ignore the difference in cultivation level and kill powerful enemies without getting injured? Only Chu Mu could do it.
"Hmph, don't be too complacent. When Senior Brother He returns, he will naturally seek justice from Chu Mu." This was the voice of some of the disciples of the Thunder Academy.
… ….
"You are Chu Mu. As expected, you are extraordinary." The eyes of the High Wind Palm Academy flowed with a sharp light, like a treasured sword. It landed on Chu Mu's body, causing Chu Mu to feel a trace of piercing pain. It was as if countless small and sharp swords were cutting into his skin. Even the sword qi protecting his body was unable to do anything.
The Lingfeng sect master was a tall middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. He had a slender figure and had the look of a modest gentleman. He was dressed in a green robe which made him look even more elegant. He was a distinguished person.
After dinner, Chu Mu was sitting on the balcony to rest. A deacon came and said that the High Wind Palm Academy had summoned him. Chu Mu followed and saw the High Wind Palm Academy, which was the highest authority of the High Wind Academy.
As soon as they met, Chu Mu first saluted with his sword, but the High Wind Palm Academy didn't say a word. They had been sizing up Chu Mu the entire time. Only now did they say a word.
"The sword is a murderous weapon, and the swordsmanship is a killing technique." After reciting it in a low voice, the eyes of the High Wind Palm Academy became even brighter and sharper. "Where did you hear this from?"
"It was passed down by my master." Chu Mu said.
"Your master? You already have a master. " There was a trace of disappointment in the High Wind Palm Academy's words, but it quickly disappeared. "Your master must be a swordsman with extremely high attainments in swordsmanship. I wonder what his name is?"
"Academy Master, my master is known as a Sword Master. He is not in this world. As for his name, he has never mentioned it." Chu Mu said.
"Yes, it's a pity that I can't meet such a strange person. A Sword Master, what kind of glory and attainment is that?" The High Wind Palm Academy sighed. He didn't know that Chu Mu, who was in front of him, was a Sword Grandmaster. In terms of swordsmanship, even he couldn't compare to him.
"I didn't ask you to come here for a big matter. It's just that your reputation is resounding now and you are also a disciple of my High Wind Academy, so I specially came to take a look." The High Wind Palm Academy explained with a smile, "Right now, the three academies are spreading the news that you are the number one swordsman in the three academies. Elder Lin also saw with his own eyes that you used your exquisite swordsmanship to make up for the gap in cultivation. In the end, with your cultivation at the early stage of the seventh stage, you killed Wang Feng, who was at the peak of the eighth stage. I am very curious about this."
"After the Academy Master saw me, did you feel that I was worthy of my name?" Chu Mu wasn't afraid at all and smiled.
"You're very confident." The High Wind Palm Academy shook his head and smiled, "What I have seen now is indeed not bad and extraordinary. However, I still need to verify it. Make your move and use your full strength. If you can shock me, I will give you an opportunity."
When Chu Mu heard this, he couldn't help but think of the sword force that the Sword Pavilion Elder had taught him.
Perhaps, without the guidance of the Sword Pavilion Elder, it was only a matter of time for Chu Mu to comprehend the sword force. However, without the guidance, there was a clear difference. At the very least, Chu Mu now had a clear goal and knew how to move forward. He wasn't at a loss and fumbling around.
Chu Mu no longer hesitated and unsheathed his sword. He used the basic move of the Clear Wind Sword Technique and his sword was like a clear wind.
"Clear Wind Sword Technique, not bad …" The High Wind Palm Academy smiled and didn't move, allowing Chu Mu to attack.
Chu Mu also knew that the High Wind Palm Academy was definitely an expert in the Qi Transformation Realm. Even if he used his full strength, he wouldn't be able to hurt the High Wind Palm Academy at all. Thus, he didn't hold back and used the three killing moves of the Clear Wind Sword Technique.
The High Wind Palm Academy still didn't move. The three killing moves of the Clear Wind Sword Technique couldn't do anything to him.
"Not bad, the Clear Wind Sword Technique has reached perfection. You have surprised me even more. You are worthy of the title of 'Number One Sword Disciple of the three academies'. However, it's still not enough to shock me." The High Wind Palm Academy smiled. He didn't even move his hair. "Do you have any more powerful moves?"
More powerful moves? Of course.
During the battle with Wang Feng, Chu Mu didn't use external sword Qi. Now, he didn't plan to use it. However, the Clear Wind Sword Technique didn't incorporate the mysteries of the wind.
"I still have one move." Said Chu Mu. Shortly after, he entered a special state. The Hundred Refinement Sword slashed through the air and a gust of wind abruptly arose. A light cyan color condensed and transformed into a nearly meter long wind blade that slashed out.
The High Wind Palm Academy's eyes widened. They were filled with shock and disbelief. His expression was extremely excited. His lips trembled slightly. He stared at Chu Mu as if he had discovered a rare treasure.
The Clear Wind Killing Move was shattered. The High Wind Palm Academy flashed and appeared beside Chu Mu like a ghost. This gave Chu Mu a fright. Especially the High Wind Palm Academy's eyes. They were shining like a miser who had seen a pile of gold.
"Wind … Concept of Wind! You actually comprehended the Concept of Wind! "The High Wind Palm Academy was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
After a long time, the High Wind Palm Academy slowly calmed down. However, he was still very shocked.
"It's hard to believe that you actually comprehended the Concept of Wind. Although it's not even 10%, but … This is simply like a dream …" The High Wind Palm Academy muttered to himself. Chu Mu didn't say a word. He vaguely guessed that some of the mysteries of the wind that he had comprehended might be the so-called Concept of Wind.
"Come, tell me, how did you comprehend the Concept of Wind?" The High Wind Palm Academy said to Chu Mu. His attitude was much gentler and more intimate than before.
As for Chu Mu, he was also very curious about this mystery. Since the High Wind Palm Academy could see it with a glance, it meant that he was more familiar with it. It just so happened that he could solve his doubts. The two sides hit it off and began to discuss.
