"This is impossible... How could I have lost …" Xie Chunlei was at a loss. He looked at Chu Mu on the Sword Discourse Arena and then looked at his own feet. He was unable to accept the reality in front of him.
"Xie Chunlei actually lost!" The three disciples who were eliminated at the late stage of the ninth stage of the Sword Qi Realm were shocked and happy at the same time.
Li Yi and the other two were all surprised, while the elite disciples and inner disciples of the Main Hall found it hard to accept.
"Senior Brother Chu won again. This is great."
"I was sure that Senior Brother Chu would win."
"Great, Senior Brother Chu is going to enter the fourth round."
"Sect Leader, this is great. Chu Mu has really entered the fourth round." The three elders of the Soaring Wind Courtyard were all very excited, and so was the Sect Leader of the Soaring Wind Courtyard.
At the Thunder Courtyard and the Blue Water Courtyard, they were excited and happy at the same time. Why wasn't a disciple like Chu Mu in their courtyard? Why didn't Chu Mu choose their courtyard but the Soaring Wind Courtyard?
Although in this situation, the three inner courtyards were united against a common enemy, leaving this place was still a competition.
"This time, the three inner courtyards have really made us look at them in a new light." An elder of the Main Hall exclaimed.
Luo Tianxiong and the others nodded.
"In this sword battle, Chu Mu has won." The referee elder announced in a clear voice, "Now, let's invite the top four onto the stage."
Three figures moved like a gust of wind, bringing along waves of whistling sounds as they stood beside Chu Mu.
Li Yi, Yuwen Wenhua, Wang Tinghao, and Chu Mu. The four of them stood side by side.
"Here, first of all, I would like to congratulate Li Yi, Yuwen Wenhua, Wang Tinghao, and Chu Mu. The four of you have defeated one strong opponent after another and finally entered the fourth round." The elder looked around and said in a clear voice, causing everyone to quiet down. "According to past practice, in this round, there can be additional challenges. The so-called additional challenge means that within the next thirty minutes, any of you, as long as you are a disciple of our sect, have a chance to challenge any one of them. If you win, you can replace him to enter the fourth round of the sword battle. "
After saying that, a disciple immediately came forward with an incense burner. There was an incense stick burning on top of it.
Li Yi and the other two obviously knew about this segment. They were either unperturbed or had a gleam in their eyes. Yuwen Wenhua, in particular, had a "come and challenge me" look in his eyes. Chu Mu, on the other hand, had no idea. He was secretly amazed.
Many of the eliminated elite disciples stared at Chu Mu. They knew very well that they were no match for Li Yi and the other two. However, if it was Chu Mu …
"Peak of eighth stage, three middle level sword skills. His level of sword skills is very high. Not bad indeed. However, with my cultivation …" These elite disciples started to think. They even simulated the result of their battle with Chu Mu in their minds.
If he defeated Wenren Yun, it would be understandable if Wenren Yun underestimated his opponent. However, if he defeated Xie Chunlei, Xie Chunlei did not underestimate his opponent.
These elite disciples were not fools. They would still be stupid enough to think that Chu Mu's strength was ordinary and that he had relied on luck. They began to take Chu Mu seriously. They regarded him as a strong opponent and ignored the cultivation gap between Chu Mu and them.
Each of them secretly calculated. The incense stick slowly burned shorter and shorter. Some people began to get restless.
The spectators all stared at Chu Mu. They also thought that the only one who would be challenged was Chu Mu. After all, everyone knew about the cultivation and sword skills of Li Yi and the other two.
Suddenly, several elite disciples at the late stage of ninth stage wanted to be the first to issue a challenge.
"I want to issue a challenge." A voice came out of nowhere. It was calm and carried an endless sharpness. It seemed as if nothing could stop it.
Chu Mu's heart trembled slightly. He turned his head to look. Everyone also hurriedly turned their heads to look at the source of the voice. They saw a slender figure standing at the entrance of the sword practice field like a sword that could break the heavens.
"He is?" Question marks appeared in the minds of many disciples.
"Isn't that …" Suddenly, the disciples of the Soaring Wind Courtyard revealed an expression of understanding. They were slightly excited.
"Xiao Qianfeng!" These three words slowly sounded in Chu Mu's heart.
That's right. The person who came was Xiao Qianfeng, who had disappeared for a few months.
"Report your cultivation base and name," the referee elder said.
"Xiao Qianfeng of the Soaring Wind Courtyard, middle stage ninth stage Sword Qi Realm." Xiao Qianfeng said indifferently. His voice always gave people a feeling that it contained an endless sharpness and sharpness. Disciples with low cultivation would feel a piercing pain on their skin.
The elders and the headmaster frowned slightly. They were slightly shocked in their hearts. They felt that they couldn't see through this disciple.
Yes, he was indeed in the middle stage ninth stage. However, other than that, they couldn't see through him. They could only faintly feel that this disciple seemed to contain a great terror.
"Xiao Qianfeng … seems to be very different from a few months ago." Chu Mu said to himself. In the past, Xiao Qianfeng did indeed have a sharp aura, but it was faint. Now, it was extremely strong. Every action and every word would cause this sharp aura to become stronger.
This sharp aura seemed to be endless.
Chu Mu's intuition told him that the current Xiao Qianfeng was many times stronger than the Xiao Qianfeng of a few months ago. What he changed was not only his cultivation. It was only a change on the surface. He still didn't know what the real change was, but it was definitely a change that made Xiao Qianfeng reborn.
"Oh, so you are a disciple of the Soaring Wind Courtyard. However, you are now in the middle stage ninth stage. You are no longer a disciple of the Soaring Wind Courtyard. Instead, you are an elite disciple of the Main Palace." The judge elder said with curiosity in his eyes.
"I have yet to take the elite disciple exam. Therefore, I am still a disciple of the Soaring Wind Courtyard." Xiao Qianfeng said indifferently without fear. His aura was astonishing. Even Qi Transformation Realm experts would be shocked.
The headmaster of the Soaring Wind Courtyard and the three elders suddenly felt very gratified. The disciples of the Soaring Wind Courtyard were even more excited. As for the headmasters and elders of the Thunder Courtyard and Jade Water Courtyard, they were extremely envious.
Why were all the outstanding disciples from the Soaring Wind Courtyard?
Chu Mu was one, and now Xiao Qianfeng was also one.
Those with good eyesight could see that Xiao Qianfeng was extraordinary.
"What you said is somewhat reasonable." The judge elder nodded his head. "Fine, you are still a disciple of the Soaring Wind Courtyard. After this event ends, you will take the elite disciple exam of the Main Palace and become one of the Main Palace's elite disciples."
Xiao Qianfeng nodded his head. His gaze was astonishingly sharp, like two Sword Light. Those who were looked at by him all felt pain on their skin. Their expressions changed greatly.
When he saw Chu Mu, a trace of surprise flashed through Xiao Qianfeng's eyes. He nodded his head slightly and shifted his gaze to Wang Tinghao's face.
Wang Tinghao was expressionless and fearless as he looked at Xiao Qianfeng. There were traces of electric arcs jumping in his eyes, but he was secretly surprised in his heart.
Shifting his gaze to Yuwen Wenhua's face, Yuwen Wenhua's eyes emitted a sharp and domineering light, as if he was looking at Xiao Qianfeng. It was filled with provocation. Xiao Qianfeng's sharpness made him feel excited, excited from the bottom of his heart.
He already had a feeling of impatience. His sword was already restless, ready to be unsheathed and fight with Xiao Qianfeng.
Looking at Li Yi, Li Yi still had a faint smile on his face, calmly neutralizing Xiao Qianfeng's oppressive aura.
"You can challenge any one of the four of them," said the judge elder. He subconsciously thought that Xiao Qianfeng would challenge Chu Mu.
Not only did the judge elder think so, the others also thought so, because Chu Mu was the weakest. Only the people of the Soaring Wind Courtyard were secretly nervous. They hoped that Xiao Qianfeng would not challenge Chu Mu. Otherwise, they would kill each other.
"The person I want to challenge... is him!" Xiao Qianfeng's eyes emitted a sharp light, like a Sword Light, shooting towards Yuwen Wenhua.
"Hahahaha, I have been waiting for you to challenge me. I feel that you can make me use my full strength to my heart's content." Yuwen Wenhua laughed loudly. His voice was like a powerful army, and a desolate killing intent spontaneously spread out.
