My citizenship is at risk

Chapter 29: First Trial of Dual Swords
"Use the existing advantages to gain more advantages..."

When Zhou Huan heard Chu Mu's words, his eyes lit up.

"indeed so."

"If you can master the Guantian move before the class placement test, then you will be more likely to be admitted to Xingwu Class 2 after the class placement test."

"Yes!" Chu Mu nodded, and then asked expectantly, "Teacher, when will I start formally learning the double-blade version of the Yunhong sword technique?"

"During the afternoon martial arts class."

"Ah?" Chu Mu was a little disappointed. He thought he could start learning now.

"What? No more morning classes?" Zhou Huan pointed at the wall clock. "The first class is about to start."

"I'm the class teacher, how can I take you to skip class?"

"Okay." Chu Mu shook his head helplessly, said goodbye to Zhou Huan, and trotted back to the classroom.

Seeing the young man's back leaving, Zhou Huan couldn't help but smile, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, "You know what, if Chu Mu really masters the Guantian move, he will be able to overtake others in the class placement test."

At first, he was firmly opposed to Chu Mu's switch from single sword to double swords.

But now, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the way to go.

On the other side, as the class bell rang, the cultural teacher entered the classroom. Chu Mu, who was sitting at his seat, rested his chin on one hand and looked at the blackboard, but he was rarely distracted.

Although Zhou Huan did not formally begin to teach him the Double-Sword Yunhong Sword Technique, the contents of his narration were enough to make his heart surge with excitement.

Especially the thirteenth move of the double-sword Yunhong sword technique, Guantian.

It seems that after reaching the second level, I still have to focus on practicing my left hand for the time being.

The sooner the power burst rate of both hands can be consistent, the sooner you can perform the Guantian move.

By mastering the Guantian move, there is hope that you can kill the third-level lizard guarding the fruit by surpassing its level. Not only can you devour the opponent to greatly increase your evolution degree, you can also devour the fruit.

In this way, breaking through to the third level of beast soldier level is a foregone conclusion. By breaking through to the third level of beast soldier level, one's own cultivation speed will be accelerated.

After sorting out the logic, Chu Mu nodded with satisfaction.

Plan passes.

"Chu Mu, answer this question!"

The teacher's sudden question drew Chu Mu's attention back to the classroom. Facing the teacher's slightly reproachful gaze, Chu Mu smiled awkwardly and stood up.

The students in the classroom immediately looked over to watch the show.

They didn't expect that this top student who ranked first in academic subjects would one day be called out by the teacher for being distracted in class. They couldn't wait to see the embarrassing scene of Chu Mu being punished by standing in the corner for not being able to answer a question!
However, their expectations were doomed to fail.

Just by glancing at the blackboard, Chu Mu knew the question the teacher had just asked. After a little thought, he quickly gave detailed solution steps and the completely correct answer, and then sat down calmly in the surprised and confused eyes of other students.

Oh, you poor students!
"Chu Mu, come up!"

In the training room, Chu Mu heard Zhou Huan calling his name on the stage, and he stepped over the physical fitness tester and walked onto the stage, "Teacher, I'll skip the test."

Zhou Huan nodded to indicate that he understood, then he grabbed a long knife and threw it to Chu Mu, "Right hand."

Chu Mu took the knife, held it in his right hand, and got ready.

"Be careful!" Zhou Huan shouted loudly, and instantly created a gust of wind, swinging his sword towards Chu Mu.

"Dang Dang Dang——"

Amid the continuous sounds of metal clashing, Chu Mu soon could not hold on any longer. After a clash of long swords, his sword was exposed and Zhou Huan hit him in the chest with his sword, thus ending the sparring in the martial arts class.

Xu Qiu was standing in the audience with his arms folded across his chest, and he showed a look of surprise after seeing this scene.

This guy...actually regressed?

With his mid-level second-level skills, he could easily tell that Chu Mu's sword skills had not improved at all compared to last week, but were a little unfamiliar, as if he hadn't touched a sword for a week. The next moment, Xu Qiu looked at Zhou Huan with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Just like last week's martial arts skills class, he was criticized by Zhou Huan again this week as he was the first one to go on stage for sparring.

He was very annoyed that the strict teacher never seemed to notice his progress.

But now, Chu Mu, whom Zhou Huan praised in every class, has regressed.

He couldn't wait to see Zhou Huan being extremely disappointed with Chu Mu and criticizing Chu Mu harshly.

"Don't let your right hand go lax. Don't neglect the daily training." Zhou Huan said lightly, then motioned for the next person to go on stage.

Watching Chu Mu walking off the stage like this, Xu Qiu, who was full of expectations, stood there in a daze, his face gradually becoming gloomy.

Why?
Why don't I get any praise for my progress, while this guy has clearly regressed but there's not even a word of criticism?

He clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles turned white and his nails left crescent-shaped marks on his palms, but he still couldn't figure it out.

Looking at Chu Mu who was talking and laughing with Liu Chang, Xu Qiu hummed softly, strode towards him without hesitation, and spoke in a low voice.

"Old rules."

"Come." Chu Mu smiled and didn't care at all.

Liu Chang on the side couldn't help but stand up for Chu Mu, "Teacher Zhou didn't praise Chu Mu today, aren't you too jealous?"

Xu Qiu glanced at the other person coldly, "It's none of your business."

"It's okay." Chu Mu patted Liu Chang's shoulder to comfort his deskmate, and then walked towards the virtual battle area next to him with Xu Qiu.

Once the helmet is put on, the scene around you changes rapidly.

"The basic strength is one thousand kilograms."

Xu Qiu spoke coldly, and after setting it up, he pulled out a long sword from the void. The tall and thin figure stood straight on the fighting stage like a javelin, with the tip of the sword pointing at Chu Mu, full of provocation.

Chu Mu selected two standard long swords and walked onto the stage with one in each hand.

Before it even started, Xu Qiu's brows suddenly frowned.

"what do you mean?"

"I've been practicing dual swords recently. I think I'm quite suitable for dual swords." Chu Mu said honestly.

He finally had a chance to fight with a strong man using dual swords, so he naturally didn't want to miss it.

However, when Xu Qiu heard these words, they took on a different meaning.

Dual Blades...

Xu Qiu suddenly thought of the non-existent knife at the last moment of last week's virtual competition.

His eyes became colder.

"Flashy!"

Chu Mu wanted to say something else, but the countdown in the air had ended and the sparring began. Seeing Xu Qiu rushing towards him, Chu Mu hurriedly parried with his two swords.

"Dang Dang Dang——"

There were three consecutive sounds of metal. Chu Mu, who had punched the star beast hard, had no power to defend himself against the more skilled Xu Qiu. He was quickly cut in half by a sword and disappeared into a spot of light.

After taking off his helmet, Chu Mu couldn't help but baring his teeth.

The swordsmanship without matching two swords is indeed not good. This is probably the worst defeat I have suffered since sparring with Xu Qiu during this period of time.

"Are these your double swords?" Xu Qiu took off his helmet and walked in front of Chu Mu. "You are so weak that I can't help laughing."
