Chapter 31: Eye Contact
“It didn’t even take six days.”
Cheng Qingman rubbed her slightly stiff cheeks and murmured softly.
Others didn’t know,
but she understood particularly well.
Because in the last five days, Luo Mu had not practiced his blade at all; instead, he had devoted himself entirely to enhancing his cultivation.
So, after Luo Mu perfected his blade technique, he only took a little over a day to comprehend the blade montum.
“Truly… inhuman.”
After thinking for a long ti, Cheng Qingman could only co up with this one adjective.
On the square.
Feng Qingshan remained frozen in place.
The ergence of the blade montum had completely shattered his beliefs.
Once a martial artist possesses martial montum, their strength can be said to increase nearly tenfold.
That’s a rather rough and simple way to put it.
In reality, it was even more exaggerated.
“Overlord Blade Stance!”
Luo Mu didn’t waste any ti; gripping his spiritual blade, he slashed down.
The hundred-ter blade light reappeared!
However, compared to before, it was even more powerful, seemingly approaching a tangible form.
Before the blade light arrived, the square was already marked with dense blade scars, as if swept over by countless blade Qi!
Feng Qingshan suddenly snapped back to reality.
For the first ti, a surge of fear welled up within him!
This blade… he could not evade!
Nor could he block it!
It was a certain death blade!
“Am I going to die?”
The thought seed absurd to Feng Qingshan.
Throughout his training, he had never been pushed to this extent by a martial artist of the sa realm, nor had he ever thought anyone could achieve it.
But now.
“I… concede!”
Feng Qingshan shut his eyes and yelled!
The blade light imdiately halted, suspended just an inch before his forehead.
It then transford into motes of light and dissipated.
That terrifying, abyss-like aura also vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.
Everyone felt their bodies relax.
No longer feeling the burden.
“Is this the martial montum? It’s truly terrifying. Being in it affects both the body and the mind, leading to a significant drop in strength, while the possessor receives a trendous boost.”
“The disparity is evident.”
The crowd couldn’t help but marvel.
“Aren’t you going to announce it?”
Luo Mu sheathed his blade and looked at the steward of the Wanxiang Pavilion.
The steward was suddenly brought back to reality.
For the first ti, a different expression appeared on his usually calm face.
It was one of shock.
As the steward of the Wanxiang Pavilion, he had seen and experienced a lot.
But to comprehend martial montum at the True Aperture Realm…
This was truly… exceedingly rare!
“The winner is Luo Mu of Changle Academy!”
The steward announced loudly.
As soon as the words fell, discussions erupted among the crowd.
“Who would have thought it would end like this!”
“Indeed, an outer palace disciple not only mastered two mid-tier Profound Rank martial skills but also possesses blade montum. Such martial arts heritage is truly unbelievable. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it!”
“It seems the academy’s training capability remains unquestionable. If we have any juniors in the future, we must find a way to send them to the academy.”
“Exactly!”
Just as Luo Mu turned around,
Feng Qingshan’s voice rang out.
“Luo Mu.”
“What do you want?”
Luo Mu responded casually without turning his head.
“Just because you’ve won this ti doesn’t an you’ll win every ti. One day, I will surpass you, defeat you, and wash away today’s humiliation!”
Feng Qingshan gritted his teeth.
“Then work hard. If you don’t chase down with everything you have, I’m afraid that when you look back, you won’t be able to see anymore.”
Luo Mu smiled slightly and walked away.
“You!”
Feng Qingshan clenched his fists.
He wanted to say sothing to retort, opened his mouth, but couldn’t utter a word.
A True Aperture Realm martial artist with martial montum…
It was clear how terrifying his understanding was.
And what about him? He was almost at the Spirit Sea Realm but couldn’t even glimpse martial montum.
Hmm?
Luo Mu suddenly halted his steps.
For so inexplicable reason, he felt sothing.
Following that feeling, he looked over and saw a tall youth standing in the tavern not far away.
The youth was dressed in luxurious clothing.
His skin was as white as snow.
Especially his face, so handso it was hard to describe, even beautiful.
The youth was looking at him.
In his light golden eyes, there was a bright gleam.
The two exchanged glances across the distance.
The youth smiled at Luo Mu and gently nodded.
Luo Mu furrowed his brows, puzzled, but nodded back.
He then withdrew his gaze and walked toward Cheng Qingman and the others.
“It seems His Highness has taken a liking to this young man,”
the head of the Wang family approached.
When the blade montum had appeared, even they had been shocked.
Such talent was simply astounding.
None of their own juniors could compare.
“Of course.”
The Ninth Prince spoke without hesitation.
He had left the imperial capital and traveled all this way not only to win over the marquises of Changle’s Seven Prefectures but also to scout so talented prodigies.
“Should we bring him over?”
The head of the Wang family asked.
“No need; we already crossed paths just now. Besides, I rember that the academy’s grand ceremony is in a month, right?”
“We will et again then.”
A smile appeared on the Ninth Prince’s lips.
The sunlight shone on his profile, creating a kind of stunning beauty.
“Junior Brother Luo, you’ve kept it too deep. You actually comprehended blade montum!”
Lin Rufeng exclaid excitedly.
“Yeah, that’s martial montum! Even among the prodigies of the inner palace, few possess it, and you are still only at the True Aperture Realm!”
Jiang Hai nodded.
“It’s just the reward for diligence.”
Luo Mu smiled.
Upon hearing this, the two were taken aback. Indeed, it seed to be true.
Talent is just a prerequisite.
Even geniuses must work hard.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t achieve much.
And they had personally witnessed how diligently Luo Mu practiced.
Describing it as working day and night wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
Perhaps this was the reason Luo Mu could comprehend blade montum so quickly!
It seed they needed to work even harder.
Otherwise, the gap between them and Luo Mu would continue to grow until it beca unbridgeable.
“Lin Rufeng, you should thank Junior Brother Luo properly. If he hadn’t stepped in today, you would surely have lost!”
Cheng Qingman spoke.
“Of course!”
“Then you have to treat us!”
“Sure!”
“Alright, I’ll help you choose the most expensive tavern in Xunyang City!”
