The sound of gears rang out again, and the metal door of the secret room slowly opened, and a tall and mighty figure walked in.
The sound of the door opening startled Chu Mu who was staring at the painting. He woke up and looked back.
"How is it? Did you comprehend anything? "Chu Dangxiong strode over and asked, his eyes shining with anticipation.
"En." Under Chu Dangxiong's hopeful gaze, Chu Mu nodded slightly, "I did."
"What is it?" Chu Dangxiong flashed and appeared beside Chu Mu, his eyes shining even brighter. That gaze made Chu Mu's scalp tingle.
"It's a sword skill." Chu Mu subconsciously took a step back and said.
"Sword skill?" Chu Dangxiong frowned and thought for a while, "What kind of sword skill? Is it of a high grade? "
"It should be. It's a Transcendent Sword Skill: Appearance of Wind." Chu Mu said, "It's just that I haven't fully comprehended it, so I can't use it."
"Transcendent Sword Skill!" Chu Dangxiong exclaimed, dumbfounded and shocked.
No wonder Chu Dangxiong was shocked. A small family like the Chu Family didn't have many sword skills in their collection. Among them, most of them were beginner sword skills and low grade sword skills, with a few middle grade sword skills.
As for high grade sword skills, the Chu Family only had one, and it was an incomplete version. For a family like the Chu Family, high grade sword skills were hard to come by, and transcendent sword skills were a legend.
"Can you write it down?" After Chu Dangxiong recovered from his shock, he was overjoyed. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked Chu Mu with a trembling voice, his face full of anticipation.
"I'm afraid not, unless I comprehend it." Chu Mu said.
"En." Chu Dangxiong nodded, but he couldn't help but feel disappointed. He could only say, "When you comprehend this transcendent sword skill, I hope you can write it down and give it to the Chu Family."
"Don't worry, grandfather." Chu Mu said seriously.
"Since you have already seen the Wind Painting and obtained a Transcendent Sword Skill from it, this Wind Painting is of no use to you." Chu Dangxiong said: "Let's go."
Chu Mu turned around and glanced at the wind painting. Indeed, it looked like a normal painting. He couldn't see any mysteries from it, so he could only close it again and leave the secret room with Chu Dangxiong.
…
"Ah Mu, go back first. I hope that you can become even stronger. As for the Wang Family, leave it to me." Chu Dangxiong said.
"Alright." Nodding his head, Chu Mu left Chu Dangxiong's courtyard and headed towards Xingyun Courtyard.
He understood Chu Dangxiong's intentions. This time, the Wang Family's Patriarch, Wang Rikun, brought Wang Qi here. They said they were here to congratulate him, but in reality, they were here to cause trouble and ruin the Chu Family's reputation. Perhaps there was a special reason behind it. Unexpectedly, Chu Mu's appearance not only ruined their wishful thinking, but also made them suffer the consequences of their own actions.
Now, the Wang Family had become a laughingstock. Wang Rikun, Wang Qi and the others definitely hated Chu Mu to the core. Perhaps they would use some underhanded methods to deal with Chu Mu. It was undoubtedly troublesome.
If Chu Dangxiong wanted to personally deal with this matter, he would not have to worry about Chu Mu. This also showed the Chu Family's confidence and deterrence.
"The Wind Painting is a Transcendent Sword Skill. Its power should be very strong. However, I have only comprehended a little bit of it. It is far from enough. Furthermore, my sword Qi cultivation is still too weak. It is impossible for me to use the Transcendent Sword Skill. "Chu Mu thought to himself as he walked.
"However, other than the Transcendent Sword Skill, my comprehension of the Wind Concept has also clearly increased. My Wind Concept has reached thirty percent. Compared to the High Wind Academy, it is about the same. However, my sword Qi cultivation is only at the mid eighth phase. Right now, the most important thing is still to increase my sword Qi cultivation. "
Looking at the Wind Painting had not only increased Chu Mu's Wind Concept by ten percent, reaching thirty percent. It was already not inferior to the High Wind Academy's Wind Concept. Furthermore, he had also obtained a Transcendent Sword Skill, the Wind Painting.
Apart from that, Chu Mu's sword Qi cultivation had also increased from the early eighth phase to the mid eighth phase. Normally, he would need to consume three or four Qi Refining Pills to achieve this.
"Apart from that, the Sword Force that has always been difficult to grasp has also been grasped today," Chu Mu murmured.
Sword Force was different from Concepts. It was a sign that one had grasped the Way of the Sword. Not every swordsman could comprehend it. It was even harder to comprehend than Concepts.
In terms of Sword Force, Chu Mu had spent a lot of effort and faintly touched the surface. He had not expected that he would have such a clear gain from looking at the Wind Painting today.
"However, I feel that this Sword Force of mine is not complete. It should be considered half-step Sword Force," Chu Mu thought to himself.
After around fifteen minutes, Chu Mu arrived at the Inner Cloud Courtyard. He saw Chu Tian practicing his sword. There was a person sitting on a stone chair in the corner. When he looked carefully, he saw that it was Chu Hong.
"What is she doing here?" Chu Mu's mind flashed with a trace of doubt, but he quickly tossed it aside.
"Ah Mu, you've returned." Chu Tian, who was practicing his sword, immediately stopped when he saw Chu Mu. He called out to him and strode towards Chu Mu. At the same time, the corner of his eyes constantly twitched. He gestured for Chu Mu to look at Chu Hong.
As for Chu Hong, she saw Chu Mu and immediately stood up. Expressionlessly, she raised her sword and walked over in large strides.
Chu Mu looked at Chu Tian and then at Chu Hong. He was a little confused.
"Chu Mu, I want to challenge you." Chu Hong walked over and unsheathed her sword with a clanging sound. She pointed it straight at Chu Mu and shouted sternly.
"That's how it is." Chu Tian shrugged helplessly.
Only then did Chu Mu understand. However, he did not know why Chu Hong had come to challenge him.
"She doesn't believe that Wang Qi was easily defeated by you." Chu Tian explained, "So …"
"That's right. Chu Mu, I absolutely do not believe that Wang Qi was defeated by you. Unless you can easily defeat me," Chu Hong said sternly. She looked like she would not give up until Chu Mu fought with her.
"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not. That's your problem," Chu Mu said.
"No. No matter what, you have to accept my challenge today." Chu Hong refused to give up. She was stubborn. She would not give up until she achieved her goal.
"Ah Mu, I think it's better for you to deal with it," said Chu Tian.
As Chu Hong's old rival, Chu Tian understood her temper very well. He knew that it would be very troublesome to be entangled with her.
"Since that's the case, bring out your sword." Chu Mu looked at Chu Hong and said indifferently. An aura condensed and brewed.
"Take my sword." Chu Hong immediately felt that she was being looked down upon. She roared angrily and thrust her sword forward. The sword light changed rapidly, like a blooming flower. It was the most powerful basic move of the Hundred Flowers Sword Technique.
"Sword Aura!" Chu Mu let out a low roar. Suddenly, a powerful and fierce aura surged out of his body. It was like a tall mountain, like a violent tsunami. There was a fearless sharpness that pressed forward courageously, cutting through thorns and thorns.
Chu Hong only felt that the Chu Mu in front of her seemed to have become huge in an instant. The sharpness was like a towering sword that pointed straight at the sky. It was boundless, vast, and sharp … It came crashing down endlessly.
Her heart palpitated and she couldn't breathe. Her body went soft. Chu Hong only felt that she was being suppressed. She couldn't move. Under the constantly enlarging figure of Chu Mu, she felt insignificant and powerless. In that instant, her thoughts stopped.
On the other side, Chu Tian's mind was also blank. His body was powerless and he almost went soft.
It was like an illusion. Chu Mu returned to his original state in Chu Hong's eyes. Unknowingly, Chu Hong's sword fell to the ground. As for Chu Hong, her face was pale and she was dripping with sweat. Her hair was wet and stuck to her cheeks. She looked a little miserable. Her eyes were filled with fear.
In that instant, she was unable to draw her sword. She couldn't control herself. If Chu Mu wanted to kill her, he only needed an instant.
"What … what … what is that?" Chu Tian's face was a little pale as he stuttered. After all, it wasn't aimed at him and there was some distance between them. Thus, the effect wasn't that strong.
Chu Hong took a few deep breaths and picked up her sword. She also looked at Chu Mu, waiting for Chu Mu's reply.
"Sword Aura," said Chu Mu indifferently. He withdrew his gaze and left. Half-step Sword Aura's effect wasn't bad. However, Chu Mu could feel that his Spiritual Strength had clearly been exhausted. He felt exhausted from using his brain too much.
"Sword Aura …" Chu Tian and Chu Hong muttered. They were a little confused as they looked at Chu Mu's departing figure. For a moment, they were frozen like statues.
