"I wonder how long this record will last before it's broken by someone in the future." Chen Jin looked at the only small bronze sword on the highest column of the Fighting Sword Monument and muttered to himself, "This is an honor that belongs to Chu Mu. It is also an honor that belongs to me, Chen Jin. It may even belong to the Qingfeng Sword Sect."
Two months later, Chu Mu no longer appeared. Everyone knew that with Chu Mu's cultivation, there was no need for him to come to the Battle Sword Arena. Here, Chu Mu's figure was left behind. His legend was left behind. His sword was left behind. Every sword was so exquisite and peerless. Every sword was so breathtaking that it caused people to linger on and forget to return. It was unforgettable.
… …
On the balcony of the second floor of Pavilion No. 91 in the Towering Wind Courtyard, Chu Mu sat cross-legged, the Hundred Refined Sword resting on his legs. His eyes were closed, his mind focused, and his sword qi moved.
The Zhongyuan Sword Qi Manual had already reached the peak of the fourth level. With another breakthrough, it would be the fifth level, the final level.
And Chu Mu's cultivation was stuck between the late and peak of the eighth level. As long as he completely digested this Qi Refining Pill, he would be able to reach the peak of the eighth level.
Twenty-four cycles, one cycle after another. The medicinal power of the Qi Refining Pill was slowly absorbed by Chu Mu, converted into Zhongyuan Sword Qi.
Suddenly, Chu Mu felt his sword qi pause, as if some change had occurred. It seemed to have become a little more, a little purer. He knew that not only had he reached the peak of the eighth level, the Zhongyuan Sword Qi Manual had also reached the fifth level.
Unfortunately, the Zhongyuan Sword Qi Manual was only a very ordinary sword qi manual. There was nothing special about it. Every breakthrough in level only made the Zhongyuan Sword Qi a little purer.
"After two months, my sword qi cultivation has reached the peak of the eighth level. The Grandmaster level sword qi range has also reached five meters." Chu Mu thought, "It's a pity that Feng and Yun have not deepened. But my understanding of sword force has deepened, but it is not obvious. As for the Green Wolf Sword Art, Green Wolf Double Kill, and Green Wolf Howling to the Moon, they are already in Dacheng's possession. "
Chu Mu had only cultivated the Green Wolf Sword Technique, Green Wolf Double Kill Sword Technique, and Green Wolf Howling to the Moon Sword Technique out of interest.
"In terms of overall strength, they are thirty to forty percent stronger than two months ago."
"It's just that I feel that with my current cultivation, it would be very difficult for me to use the simplified version of the Appearance of Wind. It would be very difficult."
During these two months, Chu Mu had never stopped comprehending the Aspect of Wind. In theory, he had already reached the small success stage. If his cultivation base was high enough, he would definitely be able to use it.
"Senior Martial Brother, it's time for dinner." Li Wei walked over with a smile while carrying a plate of fragrant dishes.
"Thank you for your hard work." Chu Mu smiled as he temporarily put aside all other thoughts and concentrated on enjoying the delicacies that Li Wei had meticulously cooked.
In the past two months, Li Wei's progress was also very obvious. With the help of Chu Mu's bottle of Qi Gathering Pills and two months of hard work, Li Wei's sword qi cultivation had already reached the late sixth stage.
As for swordsmanship, the Flying Cloud Sword Art was close to perfection, and the Soaring Wind Sword Art was close to Dacheng's. In addition to Li Wei's own hard work and talent, Chu Mu's occasional guidance was also inseparable.
"Not bad. It won't be long before you can reach the seventh stage and be promoted to an inner disciple." Chu Mu smiled at Li Wei after dinner.
"All of this is because Senior Martial Brother Chu has done his best to help and guide me." Li Wei chuckled, her little face blushing.
"Hehe, I'm just lending a helping hand." Chu Mu smiled. When he thought of the word 'guidance', his expression suddenly became a little strange because he suddenly thought of that person: Luo Yuling.
Yes, two months ago, after Chu Mu refused the Soaring Wind Palm Academy's offer to practice swordsmanship with Luo Yuling, from time to time, Luo Yuling would come to the arena to find him and insist on fighting with him on the arena.
Although every time, she would be easily defeated by Chu Mu, and after every defeat, she would be full of grievances, but the next time, there would still be a kind of tenacity after repeated defeats.
Although Chu Mu did not agree to Luo Yuling's occasional proposal to practice swordsmanship with her, he would not refuse to fight with Luo Yuling on the arena.
In Chu Mu's eyes, Luo Yuling was actually just a spoiled and newly spoiled girl in the hands of many people. There was no good or evil in her.
As for Wenren Yun, in Chu Mu's eyes, she was just a grasshopper.
"Tomorrow is the opening day of the Qingfeng Sword Battle Festival." Chu Mu stood up and looked at the dark sky. Looking at the twinkling cold stars in the night, a sense of pride filled his heart and rippled in his chest. "I must occupy one of the top three. Qingfeng Sword Stele, Metal Concept!"
… …
At dawn the next day, the weather was even colder after entering winter. A layer of frost covered the edge of the pond. Even breathing would make one's mouth and nose feel ice-cold. Waves of white air came in and out.
Chu Mu woke up early as usual. After washing up with ice-cold water, he was full of energy.
The Zhongyuan Sword Qi Art was a must. After 24 cycles, Chu Mu's peak eighth stage sword qi cultivation had consolidated a little.
The sword qi protective secret technique only had the first and second stage. It lacked the follow-up, so Chu Mu could not cultivate it.
When Chu Mu finished practicing the Zhongyuan Sword Qi Art, he brought his sword downstairs. Coincidentally, Li Wei walked out of her room to practice her sword outside the building.
After looking through it and giving some pointers, Chu Mu came to the Ling Feng Sword Platform and planned on practicing a few rounds of sword techniques. However, he discovered that although the weather was cold and frost could be seen everywhere, there were over forty inner sect disciples on the Ling Feng Sword Platform who were practicing in full swing, dispelling the cold.
"Senior Brother Chu, good morning."
"Senior Brother Chu, you're here."
When these inner sect disciples saw Chu Mu, they all saluted with their swords and shouted loudly.
After Chu Mu returned the greeting, he pulled out his sword and began to practice his sword techniques. The forty or so disciples and the disciples that came one after another watched Chu Mu practice his sword in three circles.
"Oh, so that's how it is. The Lingfeng Sword Art should be used like this."
"After seeing Senior Brother Chu practice, I know how clumsy my sword art is."
"Yes, Senior Brother Chu's sword art is unfathomable. No one can compare."
Many inner disciples nodded their heads secretly. From time to time, they would reveal a look of enlightenment.
Li Yang was also among them. He had already adjusted his mentality and was no longer entangled in the past. Han Rui was also very humble. He looked at Chu Mu with a hint of awe.
On the Lingfeng Sword Platform, Chu Mu did not stay for long. After practicing for a short while, he put away his sword and left, heading to the Lingfeng Academy.
A few days ago, the Lingfeng Academy had already sent a deacon to inform Chu Mu that today, he had to go to his place. It was related to the Qingfeng Sword Competition.
Chu Mu would not let go of such a grand event. Qingfeng Sword Stele … Concept of Metal …
"Senior Brother Chu, take care."
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother Chu."
The inner sect disciples all saluted Chu Mu with their swords and sent him off respectfully.
Even the Lingfeng Academy had never enjoyed such treatment. It was enough to show that the current status of Chu Mu in the hearts of many disciples of the Lingfeng Academy was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
