Song Guangtao vs Chu Mu(2)

"Hahahaha … You're Chu Mu? I didn't expect you to still dare to show up. This is really out of my expectations. I deeply admire your courage. " Twelve people had appeared. The leader was a tall, human-like man with a long sword on his back. He had a strange smile on his face and his eyes flickered with a sharp glint. He stared at Chu Mu and his tone carried a bit of ridicule that resounded through the entire Sword Fighting Stage.

"Song Guangtao, I thought you were afraid to show up." Luo Yufeng sneered.

"Oh, I was wondering who it was. So it's Luo Yufeng, the one who lost to my sword. What are you doing here instead of hiding in the Qingfeng Courtyard and cultivating?" Song Guangtao seemed to have just noticed Luo Yufeng and the others, and suddenly realized, "Oh … I know, that guy on the Sword Battle Arena is from your Qingfeng Academy, so it's natural for you to come here. However, seeing how he was defeated with your own eyes, you must feel uncomfortable in your heart."

"We still don't know who will be defeated." Luo Yufeng smiled faintly. Even Zhou Jin and the others sneered. This caused Song Guangtao to be secretly surprised. According to his understanding, if he said this in the past, at least two or three people would jump up. But now, after being deliberately mocked by him, he was actually able to remain calm and composed. Moreover, he even had a cold smile on his face. It couldn't help but arouse his suspicion.

"I hope you can still smile when the time comes." Song Guangtao suppressed the bewilderment in his heart and laughed. With a flash of his body, he transformed into a stream of light and appeared on the Sword Fighting Stage, facing Chu Mu from ten meters away. However, Chu Mu's eyes were still closed, as if he didn't notice the arrival of Song Guangtao and the others.

Wei Gang's face was gloomy. His position as the fourth senior brother had just been taken away, so he shouldn't have come out in anger. However, he really wanted to see what would happen to that arrogant disciple of the Azure Edge Sword Sect, so he followed along. The other disciples of the Qinglan Academy sneered and stared at Chu Mu with disdain in their eyes. They whispered among themselves.

Chu Mu's eyes slowly opened. They weren't sharp and oppressive, nor were they radiant. They were only clear and calm, like a deep pool without any ripples.

In that instant, Song Guangtao suddenly felt his hair stand on end, but he didn't pay it any mind.

 

"It seems that Song Guangtao's little scheme didn't succeed. This low grade sword faction's disciple seems to have a good mentality." Someone in the audience nodded and said with a smile that wasn't a smile.

"Indeed. He stood on the arena for more than two hours, yet he didn't show any signs of impatience or uneasiness. Furthermore, he still has such clear eyes. Hmm, I'm starting to think highly of him."

"Hmph, putting on an act." Wang Qi coldly snorted in disdain.

"Many thanks for coming, Senior Brothers. Your Junior Brother's face is shining." Song Guangtao suddenly saluted with his sword and said with a smile on his face, "This time, it's a decisive battle between me and Chu Mu, a disciple of the Qingfeng Academy. Please be a witness."

"This Song Guangtao is quite good at dealing with people."

"He's a little smart and self-righteous."

"Chu Mu, right? If it's just a sword fight like this, it doesn't make much sense to determine the winner and loser." Song Guangtao looked at Chu Mu again and faintly smiled. However, there was a sliver of a strange light circulating in his eyes. When Luo Yufeng and the others below heard this, they immediately knew that Song Guangtao was about to come up with some scheme, "Let's make a bet. This is more interesting."

"Say it." Chu Mu looked indifferent and calmly looked at Song Guangtao. His clear eyes seemed to be able to see through Song Guangtao's thoughts, which made him feel very uncomfortable. His face involuntarily changed and he squeezed out a smile. "This bet has to be a little particular. We can't bet on something that's useless to us. Don't you think so? In my opinion, the most practical bet right now is nothing more than the Qi Increasing Pills. Let's each take out ten Qi Increasing Pills as a token of appreciation. "

"Ten Qi Increasing Pills!" Suddenly, many people's faces changed.

What was a Qi Increasing Pill? It was an elixir suitable for a tenth phase swordsman to take. It was used to increase the cultivation of sword qi. In the Sword Academy, every disciple of a low-grade sword faction could receive one Qi Increasing Pill a year. A disciple of a middle-grade sword faction could receive one every six months. A disciple of a high-grade sword faction could receive one every three months.

Ten Qi Increasing Pills. Even some disciples of high-grade sword factions couldn't take out ten at once, let alone disciples of low-grade sword factions. However, Luo Yufeng and the others had already expected all of this. They just didn't expect it to be so much. Suddenly, their faces changed.

"Ten Qi Increasing Pills!" Chu Mu repeated and creased his eyebrows. They had already discussed this beforehand, but they only had eight people in total. This time, they hadn't used the Qi Increasing Pills they had just received, so there were only eight of them.

 

"What? You don't dare? If you don't dare, admit defeat on the spot. Kneel down and kowtow three times. Shout that the disciples of Qingfeng Courtyard are all trash and I will allow you to leave here. "Song Guangtao smiled. His eyes flashed and he revealed his true face.

"Yes, if you don't dare, kneel down and kowtow, then get out." The disciples of Qinglan Courtyard suddenly shouted.

"Damn it!" Chu Tian clenched his fist and stood up. His face was full of anger. Chu Hong almost drew her sword on the spot. Wang Qilin, Luo Shui and the others sneered.

"Chu Mu, if the Qi Increasing Pills are not enough, I still have two here. I can lend them to you first." Wang Qi suddenly stood up with a friendly smile on his face. However, Chu Mu just glanced at him and directly ignored him. Wang Qi's face became livid and he clenched his fists in anger.

"Second brother, don't be impatient." Wang Lin smiled and said. Wang Qi's anger slowly dissipated. He sat down again and stared at Chu Mu fiercely.

"I only have eight Qi Increasing Pills. As for the remaining two, I'll use my two fake swords as collateral." Chu Mu said neither quickly nor slowly.

"Two pseudo-swords and two Qi Increasing Pills? Speaking of which, I still profited. It seems that you have already prepared. " Song Guangtao was slightly surprised. He immediately sneered and raised his eyebrows. "Since you are so straightforward, I won't let you lose too badly."

"Don't worry, just ten Qi Increasing Pills is too stingy." Chu Mu smiled faintly, which made Song Guangtao's face show a touch of astonishment. The others were stunned and even thought that there was something wrong with their ears. However, they heard Chu Mu continue to say, "In our Qingfeng Academy, in addition to my two pseudo-swords, there are nine other pseudo-swords. All of them will be used as wagers. If you win, they will all belong to you. If you lose, I believe that under the witness of so many people, you should not go back on your words."

"Good, you have courage. I like it."

"Good."

After Chu Mu's words sounded, there was a moment of silence. Then, there was a loud roar.

"Big brother, promise him." The disciples of the Qinglan Academy under the arena were stimulated and shouted. They took all the pseudo-swords from their backs and raised them high.

"I can see that your Junior Brother is very confident in you. However, we only have nine fake swords here. We don't have any more." Chu Mu faintly smiled as he spoke. Song Guangtao, however, hesitated. He was a bit scheming and clever, so Chu Mu's actions instead made him bewildered.

 

"By the way, I was lucky before. I had a little adventure and obtained two secret manuals." Chu Mu continued and took out two books from his arms. "One is the Upper Yellow Level Fire Attribute Sword Qi Technique, and the other is the complete Advanced Gold Attribute Swordsmanship. They will also be used as wagers."

Chu Mu's words suddenly made many people tremble. Even Wang Lin, a disciple of the Upper Rank Sword Faction, could not hide the shock on his face. Chu Tian and Chu Hong looked at each other.

Luo Yufeng and the others of the Qingfeng Academy were stunned. Obviously, this was not within the scope of their discussion.

"Do you dare? If you don't dare, admit defeat on the spot. Kneel down and kowtow three times. Shout that the disciples of the Qinglan Academy are trash and I will agree to let you leave here." Chu Mu said slowly and clearly. Suddenly, people were stunned. Wasn't this the original words of Song Guangtao before? Song Guangtao suddenly looked constipated. The disciples of the Qinglan Academy were choked and speechless.

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Song Guangtao's face was ugly. Now that he was riding a tiger, he had to agree. Immediately, he thought, "This guy must be bluffing. He wants to use this to make me retreat. When I defeat you, all those things will belong to me and the Qinglan Academy."

"Chu Tian, I can see that your brother is very confident. Why don't we also play?" Wang Qi suddenly looked at Chu Tian and said loudly, "Since it's just a game, there's no need to be so big. I'll bet two Qi-boosting Pills."

"How can two Qi-boosting Pills be enough? Plus a pseudo-sword." Chu Tian sneered.

"Well, the Chu family's son is really bold. I'll do as you say and add a pseudo-sword." Wang Qi sneered again and again. "But when the time comes, don't lose to the point that you don't even have a pseudo-sword. As a disciple of the Sword Academy, it's extremely shameful."

"Same to you." Chu Tian responded coldly.

This extra bet suddenly pushed the decisive battle that had not yet begun to the peak, making everyone watching full of expectations.

"This disciple of the Qingfeng Academy is not high in cultivation, but his courage is not small. We can observe him. If he has a little ability, we can recruit him and bring him into the Crown Prince's banner." In the audience, a swordsman whispered with a smile.

 

"The Crown Prince doesn't want trash. Whether he has courage or big words, we have to see the result of the decisive battle." Another swordsman smiled coldly.

"Let's wait and see." The third swordsman smiled faintly and crossed his hands.

"This trash of the Chu family is really beyond my expectations. He has such courage." Lin Luoshui thought to herself as a strange light flickered in her eyes, "Moreover, he actually has a high grade Yellow Level Sword Qi Technique. What's even more surprising is that he actually has a complete high level sword art. Yes, if his performance this time is not bad, I don't mind lowering myself and getting closer to him."
