“He didn't use six days at all.”
Cheng Qing Man rubbed her slightly stiff cheeks and muttered softly.
Others didn't know.
But she knew very well.
Because for the past five days, Luo Mu hadn't practiced his swordsmanship at all, instead, he had been wholeheartedly focusing on improving his cultivation.
So.
After achieving mastery in swordsmanship, Luo Mu had spent only a little over a day to comprehend the Sword Intent.
“He's truly...not human.”
After pondering for a long time, Cheng Qing Man could only come up with this adjective.
On the square.
Feng Qing He was still standing there in a daze.
The emergence of Sword Intent completely shattered his beliefs.
Any martial artist who possesses a grand martial intent, their strength could be said to have increased almost tenfold.
This was a rather rough and simple way of putting it.
In reality, it was far more exaggerated.
“Dominating Sword Style!”
Luo Mu didn't waste any time, he held the Spirit Blade in his hand and slashed down.
A hundred-meter blade light reappeared!
However, compared to before, it was even more powerful, with a distinct sense of becoming tangible.
Before the blade light reached, the square was already covered with countless sword marks, as if it had been swept by countless blade energies!
Feng Qing He was suddenly jolted awake.
For the first time, fear welled up in his heart!
This strike...could not be dodged!
Nor could it be blocked!
It was a deathblow!
“Am I going to die?”
A sense of absurdity arose in Feng Qing He's heart.
In his years of cultivation, he had never been forced to this point by a martial artist of the same level, and he never thought anyone could do it.
But now.
“I...yield!”
Feng Qing He closed his eyes and roared!
The blade light stopped immediately, hovering an inch above his forehead.
Then it turned into dots of light and dissipated.
And the terrifying, abyss-like aura also vanished instantly, as if it had never appeared.
Everyone felt their bodies relax.
The feeling of being weighed down was gone.
“This is the grand martial intent? It's truly terrifying, being within it, both the body and spirit will be affected, greatly weakening one's strength, while the possessor receives a significant boost in power.”
“One loses, the other gains, the difference is unimaginable.”
Everyone couldn't help but exclaim.
“Aren't you going to announce it?”
Luo Mu sheathed his blade and looked at the Wanxiang Pavilion's attendant.
The attendant immediately snapped out of his daze.
On his usually calm face, there was an expression he had never shown before.
It was shock.
As a Wanxiang Pavilion attendant, he had naturally seen a lot and was experienced.
But to comprehend a grand martial intent at the True Aperture Realm.
It was truly...too rare!
“The winner is, Chang Le Academy - Luo Mu!”
The attendant announced loudly.
As soon as his voice fell.
Discussions erupted from the crowd, rising and falling one after another.
“Who would have thought the outcome would be like this!”
“Yeah, an Outer Academy disciple, not only cultivated two Xuan-grade mid-tier martial arts, but also possesses Sword Intent, such a deep martial foundation is truly unbelievable, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it!”
“It seems the Academy's cultivation capabilities are still undeniable, if we have any descendants in the future, we'll have to find a way to send them to the Academy.”
“Right!”
Just as Luo Mu turned to leave.
Feng Qing He's voice rang out.
“Luo Mu.”
“What's on your mind?”
Luo Mu didn't look back, he replied casually.
“Being ahead for now doesn't mean being ahead forever, one day, I'll surpass you, defeat you, and wash away today's shame!”
Feng Qing He gritted his teeth.
“Then work hard, chase after me with all your might, otherwise, when you look back, I'm afraid you won't even be able to see me anymore.”
Luo Mu's lips curled up slightly as he walked forward.
“You!”
Feng Qing He clenched his fists.
He wanted to say something to refute him, he opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.
A guy who possesses a grand martial intent at the True Aperture Realm.
It shows how terrifying his comprehension is.
And what about him? He's almost at the Spirit Sea Realm, yet he can't even see the shadow of a grand martial intent.
Huh?
Luo Mu suddenly stopped walking.
For some reason, he seemed to feel something.
Following his feeling, he looked towards a nearby tavern, where a slender young man stood.
The young man was dressed in fine clothes.
His skin was as white as snow.
Especially his face, it was so handsome that it was unnatural, it could even be described as beautiful.
The young man was looking at him.
His light golden eyes were filled with bright brilliance.
The two locked eyes across the distance.
The young man smiled at Luo Mu and nodded slightly.
Luo Mu's brows furrowed slightly, he didn't understand, but he nodded in response.
Then he retracted his gaze and walked towards Cheng Qing Man and the others.
“It seems His Highness has his eyes on this lad.”
The head of the Wang family walked over.
When the Sword Intent appeared earlier, even they were shocked.
Such talent was truly outrageous.
None of their own descendants could compare.
“Of course.”
The Ninth Prince didn't shy away from it.
He left the imperial capital and traveled all this way, besides wanting to win over the lords of Chang Le Seven Counties, he also wanted to find some more prodigious talents.
“Should we bring him over?”
The head of the Wang family asked.
“No need, they've already met, moreover, I remember that the Academy Grand Ceremony is in a month.”
“We'll see each other again then.”
The Ninth Prince's lips curled up slightly.
The sunlight shone on his profile, giving him an almost ethereal beauty.
——
“Brother Luo, you've been hiding your strength! You've actually comprehended Sword Intent!”
Lin Ru Feng exclaimed excitedly.
“Yeah, that's the grand martial intent! Even the prodigies in the Inner Academy don't have many, and you're only at the True Aperture Realm!”
Jiang Hai nodded.
“It's just Heaven rewarding hard work.”
Luo Mu smiled slightly.
Upon hearing this, the two were stunned, Heaven rewarding hard work? That seemed right too.
Having talent is just a prerequisite.
Even a genius has to work hard.
Otherwise, they won't achieve much.
And they had seen with their own eyes how hard Luo Mu had been working.
It was no exaggeration to say he was working tirelessly day and night.
Perhaps that's why Luo Mu was able to comprehend Sword Intent so quickly!
It seems they have to work even harder too.
Otherwise, the gap between them and Luo Mu would grow larger and larger, until they could no longer even see him.
“Lin Ru Feng, you have to thank Brother Luo properly, if it wasn't for him today, you would have definitely lost!”
Cheng Qing Man spoke.
“Of course!”
“Then you have to treat me!”
“Treat!”
“Okay, I'll help you choose the most expensive tavern in Xunyang City!”
“......”
