Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 767 - Discoveries

Lin Muʼs attacks were certainly doing some level of damage to the beast and the attack that did the most damage was none other than the Boulder Collapsing Fist. Though Lin Mu also wondered if other skills could damage the beast or not.

”Letʼs try meld…” Lin Mu muttered and put some distance between himself and the beast.

Meld!

In the next moment, space started to move and froze the Mixed Troll beast in place.

”It does work—” But just as Lin Mu was about to say it, he saw something shocking.

A layer of spirit Qi was being emanated by the beastʼs skin, which was now pushing the mixed troll demon beast away from the area under the influence of meld.

”Huh? What the hell?” Lin Mu was shocked.

He tried to focus and realized that the space around the beast was being repelled by its skin. It was a stage phenomenon that Lin Mu had not seen before in a beast, but he had certainly seen it with his other skills before.

”Is it actually resisting it?” Lin Mu realized.

”Your proficiency with Meld is still too low for you to be able to break through the defense of a demon beast that is specialized in defense. It can actively use its spirit Qi in this manner even if its proficiency with Qi skills is non existent.

If it were some other Dao Shell realm being, you might have been able to do it.” Xukong replied.

Hearing this, Lin Mu felt enlightened. He knew that while the ring and its skills were very strong, the bottleneck that limited its potential was none other than Lin Mu himself. If Lin Muʼs proficiency and cultivation grew, the power of the skill would also grow.

Having learned that Meld did not really work on the Troll, Lin Mu decided to use the direct method of fighting.

”But since Iʼve used it already… I may as well take advantage of it. MELD!” Lin Mu flicked his hand, and the ground rose up around the Troll.

Meld had shifted the ground and blocked the legs of the Troll.

”GURAAAAAA!” The Troll was certainly irritated due to it and had to spend some time getting out of the obstacle.

Lin Mu thought took full advantage and let out another barrage of blows.

One after the other, Boulder Collapsing fists hit the beast.

~Crack~

~Crack~

~Crack~

Soon the damage was starting to pile up and wounds started to appear on the body of the Troll.

~SHUA~

And just as the wounds appeared, Little Shrubby took the opportunity to singe them with his flames. This way, the wounds were not able to heal right away and was slowing down the troll even more.

”NICE! Keep on doing that!” Lin Mu told Little Shrubby.

”Okay!” He replied and flew away.

Since he was rather exhausted, Little Shrubby could not use the full potential of his cultivation base. Thus, Lin Mu had to handle the troll while Little Shrubby took the safe opportunities.

The battle continued for hours on end. This was the longest Lin Mu had actually fought non stop till now and he was still feeling good.

”I can do this all day!” Lin Mu taunted.

”GURAAAAA!” The Troll growled in anger.

The nearby beasts that approached Lin Mu were also killed due to him and Meld was getting used to that since it could decimate hundreds of beasts at once. Little Shrubby was also recovering little by little, using the spirit stones that he had and was keeping the other beasts away.

This prevented Lin Mu from getting disturbed, and the focus was on the troll. Lin Mu also realized something else during this fight. The longer he fought, the better his control over his body was getting.

He had not realized it at first, but after the breakthrough, his bodyʼs power had increased day quite a lot and he had yet to reach its limits. This fight was helping him accommodate that.

ʼMay as well take full advantage, I wonʼt get an opponent like this easily.ʼ Lin Mu thought to himself and continued the battle.

He had used the Boulder Collapsing fist about 20 times till now, and that was the most he had used in a short time. Boulders collapsing fist was increasing in power too little by little.

ʼNo, itʼs not power… itʼs efficiency…ʼ Lin Mu thought.

He discovered that when he used the skill a certain amount of energy was wasted in it. For example, if he used ten percent of his spirit Qi, only five percent was actually used and the rest of it was wasted in the execution.

”Never thought I had been wasting so much of it… how did I not realize it till now?” Lin Mu wondered.

”It could be due to the fact that the Boulder Collapsing fist is a rather volatile skill. I mean, normal cultivators wonʼt even be able to use it without injuring themselves. You can only do it due to being a body cultivator.” Xukong spoke.

”Hmm… it seems like it senior. But now that I think of it, perhaps the Boulder Collapsing fist was always meant for body cultivators. Maybe its lack of requirements was just an open point, but not a recommendation.” Lin Mu replied.

”That may be true seeing as how you are able to use it fully without being injured,” Xukong said.

”Well… only the first two forms leave me uninjured. The third one, though…” Lin Mu muttered.

”Perhaps that may have changed too? You have completed two treasured organs after all.” Xukong added.

Hearing this Lin Muʼs eyes lit up, and he wondered if it really was true. He now wanted to use the skill and end the Troll beast. But there was a problem with that… unlike the first 2 forms, the Third form wasnʼt exactly instantaneous in its execution.

Lin Mu needed to prepare it for a few seconds before it could be used.. And that time was something he did not have in a fight like this.
