"Trash, scram back to where you came from." Wenren Yun sneered again and again. His sharp aura was oppressive, causing the Thunder Academy disciple's face to turn pale. The hand holding the sword trembled uncontrollably.
Wenren Yun's Sword Light was incomparably sharp, firm and tyrannical. The Thunder Academy disciple's face changed greatly as he hurriedly raised his sword to block. A huge clanging sound shook the surroundings. The Thunder Academy disciple couldn't take it and flew back. He felt an incomparably sharp sound piercing into his ears.
"Trash, scram." Wenren Yun's face was a bit ferocious. He straightened his body and used another tyrannical sword attack. There was no technique to speak of. He completely used his powerful sword Qi to suppress his opponent.
With a peng sound, the sword left his hand. The Thunder Academy disciple was once again sent flying. He flew out of the circular sword platform and landed on the ground. He staggered back seven or eight steps and spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was pale and his eyes were filled with shock and anger.
"Are you alright?" A few Thunder Academy disciples hurriedly supported him and asked with concern. The other disciples looked at Wenren Yun and glared at him. Everyone could see that Wenren Yun had done it on purpose. He had gone too far.
Originally, with Wenren Yun's strength, it would only be a matter of a few swords to defeat his opponent. They could have a proper sword battle, but he had used such an extremely humiliating method.
The faces of the Thunder Academy and the Blue Water Academy disciples were not good. Especially the Thunder Academy's headmaster and the three elders, they were frowning.
"Senior Brother Wenren is so skilled." At this time, such a voice came out from the Main Hall's inner disciples. Gradually, some people started to agree, which angered the disciples of the three academies. They were all indignant. If it wasn't for the headmaster and the elders, it would have turned into a bloody conflict.
"This sword battle, Wenren Yun wins." The Main Hall Elder flew onto the platform and announced. Although he wasn't very satisfied with Wenren Yun's method, it was a fact that Wenren Yun had won.
Wenren Yun raised his sword and pointed it at the Sword Discourse Arena, straight at Chu Mu. A sinister smile flashed across his face as his lips moved. Chu Mu knew what he was saying from the shape of his mouth. It was nothing more than a threat that he would be like the previous one and roll off the Sword Discourse Arena.
Chu Mu remained unmoved by this, and a wisp of ridicule flashed in his eyes.
Wenren Yun drew a beautiful sword flower with a few swishing sounds. She sheathed her sword and turned around to take a breath. She landed on the Sword Observation Platform in the main hall and strode towards Luo Yuling.
"Junior Sister, how was my performance?" Wenren Yun was secretly complacent, and she said with a smile, "Don't worry, from now on, as long as that Chu Mu goes against me, I'll make him roll off the stage just like that to avenge Junior Sister's defeat and humiliation."
Luo Yuling didn't answer when she heard this. She frowned slightly, and a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes. She didn't know why, but her impression of Wenren Yun suddenly changed, and her favorable impression of him plummeted.
The next sword battle began. Next, another disciple of the Thunder Academy and two disciples of the Crystal-Water Academy were defeated one after another. They couldn't last more than ten moves. However, they weren't humiliated like the first one, rolling off the Sword Discourse Arena and vomiting blood.
During this period, Chu Mu also saw the sword techniques of Li Yi, Yuwen Wenhua, and Wang Tinghao. Their opponents were all at the middle stage of the 9th stage of the Sword Qi Realm, but under their attacks, they couldn't last more than ten moves and were defeated one after another.
Li Yi's sword techniques were elegant, and the clouds were unrestrained. Yuwen Wenhua's sword techniques were domineering, forceful, and aggressive. Wang Tinghao's sword techniques were righteous, awe-inspiring, swift, and fierce.
"Chu Mu, what do you think of their sword techniques?" The Sect Master of the Soaring Wind Academy suddenly asked.
"Very good, but they didn't show their true strength." Chu Mu replied, but he was secretly surprised because these three people's sword techniques were very profound. If they were divided by the level of Sword Master, they had already reached the peak of Sword Master, and were only one level away from Sword Master.
It could be said that their sword techniques were the three highest attainments that Chu Mu had seen since he transmigrated to this world. Of course, the Sect Master or the Elders' sword techniques might be higher than them, but he had never seen them.
"Are you confident that you can beat them in sword techniques?" The Sect Master of the Soaring Wind Academy asked again. The eyes of the three Elders lit up as they stared at Chu Mu.
"Purely in terms of sword techniques, I'm above them." Chu Mu said. His tone was indifferent, but there was an unquestionable confidence. It was the bearing of a Sword Master.
"Good, only then will you be able to compete with the three of them and fight for the top three." The Sect Master of the Soaring Wind Academy laughed. Until now, he still believed that Chu Mu could only fight for the top three. As for the champion, he didn't dare to think about it.
Soon, the first round of the sword battle ended. The Elders announced the names of the people who would enter the second round. Moreover, the sixteen people who would enter the second round went up to the stage and drew lots again.
"This time, there aren't any blank lots. You better pray that you don't meet me. Otherwise, I'll make you lose all face in public." Wenren Yun said to Chu Mu in a low voice. His tone and expression made people want to stab him to death with a sword.
After the drawing of lots, the number one and number sixteen stayed behind. The other disciples returned to their respective observation platforms.
Number one and number sixteen were at the early ninth phase and the middle ninth phase. There was a slight difference in their sword techniques. Not long after, the early ninth phase was defeated and number sixteen won.
One sword battle after another passed.
"Now, let's invite number eight and number nine to the stage." The Elder said in a clear voice.
Wenren Yun stood up, stomped his feet, and leaped into the air. He used his movement technique and flew up like a goshawk. When he was in the air, he waved his sleeves and sword qi rippled. He pushed his body in an arc and slowly landed on the Sword Discourse Arena.
"Good."
"Senior Brother Wenren, good movement technique."
The inner disciples of the main hall screamed and shouted.
Wenren Yun stood on the Sword Discourse Arena in high spirits and swept across.
"Where's number nine?"
"Who is number nine? Why hasn't he come out yet? "
At this time, Chu Mu stood up and flew down the Sword Observation Platform. After a few more leaps, he jumped onto the Sword Discourse Arena. He didn't use the Wind Travel movement technique.
Compared to Wenren Yun's method of appearance, Chu Mu was simply too weak.
"So it's him. That lucky guy. This time, he won't be so lucky."
"Yeah, like I said, he can only rely on luck to pass the first round. He will definitely lose in the second round."
"What a pitiful fellow. If he goes up against Senior Brother Wenren, he might end up like that unlucky fellow and end up vomiting blood."
"Who says so? It seems like his luck in the first round was too good, so this time, his luck has been used up."
"Not bad. At least, this is the first time in so many years that a disciple from the three inner courtyards has entered the second round."
The disciples of the three inner courtyards all became nervous.
Although they all had great confidence in Chu Mu, and knew that Chu Mu's sword technique was unfathomable, they all knew that Chu Mu's sword technique was unfathomable.
However, Chu Mu had never fought against a ninth stage Sword Qi Realm before. At the very least, as far as they knew, there really wasn't one. If they knew that Chu Mu had killed two early stage ninth stage and one late stage ninth stage on his way back to the Sword Sect, they definitely wouldn't be so worried.
Right now, Chu Mu's opponent was a ferocious middle stage of the ninth stage, and his sword techniques were not weak either. They didn't know if Chu Mu would be able to defeat an opponent stronger than him like before.
