Chapter 883 Successive Victories
Lin Mu exhaled a breath of relief, and his face was much more relaxed.
A huge stone fell from his heart.
The realm of spiritual consciousness was promoted to the late stage of fusion. The quality of the earth-grade spiritual beads condensed next was undoubtedly better, and the hope of the Sui Xin Sword being promoted to the realm of peerless spiritual treasures was greatly increased!
After each round of competition, there would be a period of recuperation. After the first round, it was three days, after the second round, it was five days, and it would be longer and longer in the future.
The spiritual consciousness was promoted to the middle stage of fusion, and the strength was improved a lot.
Lin Mu was confident that with his current strength, relying solely on the sword attainments of the late stage of the sword domain and the Sui Xin Sword at the peak of the spiritual magic treasure realm, if nothing unexpected happened, he would be promoted to the top sixteen. I think there would be no problem.
In this way, after the third, fourth, and fifth rounds of competition, there would be a period of recuperation. These three periods of time are getting longer and longer. He can take advantage of this period to work hard to warm and temper the Sui Xin Sword. I think if his luck is not too bad, the Sui Xin Sword has a great hope of being promoted to a peerless spiritual treasure.
Compared with the original advancement of the Five Elements Magic Mirror, the spiritual essence consumed by the Sui Xin Sword is more than doubled.
Even if it is an ordinary piece of iron, it should become a peerless magic weapon after absorbing and refining so much spiritual essence.
The foundation of the Sui Xin Sword is indeed not as good as the Five Elements Magic Mirror, but he also spent a lot of rare treasures to refine it, and the refining method is special, using his own spiritual consciousness as the weapon spirit. Now that his spiritual consciousness has advanced to the late stage of fusion, the foundation of the Sui Xin Sword will naturally rise with the tide and become more powerful.
The quality of the earth-grade condensing beads has improved, and the foundation of the Sui Xin Sword has improved, and the hope of successful tempering has greatly increased.
After the five rounds of competition, if the Sui Xin Sword can successfully advance to the realm of peerless spiritual treasures, he will no longer have to worry about the next round of battles.
It will still be difficult to be in the top five or top three, but if you want to be in the top ten among the sixteen cultivators, you still have more than 80% confidence.
Lin Mu walked out of the quiet room with satisfaction, and together with Gu Zhenhao, they went to the opposite platform to participate in the third round of competition.
This time, as soon as he appeared, all the cultivators around the opposite platform looked at him at the same time.
"Lin Mu is here!"
"A genius!"
"We are lucky to see him. Such a person may not appear once in ten thousand years!"
"I wonder if he can continue his miracle today?"
"I think he can!"
Under the gaze of thousands of cultivators, Lin Mu looked calm and laughed with Gu Zhenhao, "I didn't expect that after winning two games in a row, it would cause such a huge sensation. Being stared at by thousands of cultivators like this, I will feel a sense of pressure in my heart, and naturally, I just want to keep winning."
"If it is a newly rising genius, I am afraid he will be very nervous, uneasy, and confused." Gu Zhenhao looked at Lin Mu and said with a smile, "But you don't have any nervousness at all, you are very calm and composed. Either you are used to big scenes and have long been accustomed to it, or you are extremely powerful and have absolute confidence."
"Which one do you think I am?" Lin Mu said with a calm heart and a smile.
"I think you have both." Gu Zhenhao said seriously, "If anyone runs into you, it's bad luck. If they have evil intentions and want to kill you, it's like asking for trouble."
"When did you become so respectful of me?" Lin Mu said puzzledly, "My real strength is actually about the same as that of a mid-stage fusion cultivator."
"Don't lie to me, your real strength is not worse than that of an average late-stage fusion cultivator." Gu Zhenhao said seriously, "You have a chance to be in the top five this time!"
Lin Mu was embarrassed when he heard this.
This is a big joke.
Even Gu Zhenhao, who is closest to him, now regards him as a peerless master, but his real strength is not that strong.
When he meets a real master, when the opponent goes all out, he will lose very badly and miserably.
"I have been hiding my strength, just wanting to take advantage of the carelessness of the fusion cultivators to seize the initiative and advantage. With the power of my sword domain, as long as I gain a little advantage, the next sharp and violent attack will be a storm, and the outcome will be decided." Lin Mu said helplessly, "I think my disguise was good before, why not only did it not work, but it made you overestimate me?"
Lin Mu was very puzzled.
Is it too much?
Things will turn around when they reach the extreme?
"Is your real strength really about the same as that of a mid-stage fusion cultivator?" Gu Zhenhao looked surprised.
Lin Mu looked serious and nodded, "That's right!"
"Then, why did you give me two earth-grade concentration beads?" Gu Zhenhao said, "Such treasures are difficult to possess even for a late-stage fusion cultivator. I have never heard of them before. Two earth-grade concentration beads, one for me to improve my spiritual cultivation, and one for me to temper the power of the flying sword. I think my strength has been greatly improved."
"You just gave me two beads, and that's how much my strength has increased." Gu Zhenhao speculated, "You must have absorbed and refined countless earth-grade spirit-concentrating beads in secret, and your flying sword is even more so. Add to that your sword attainments in the late stage of the sword domain, how strong can you be?"
"Compared with the late stage of the fusion cultivators, I'm afraid you are inferior to them in cultivation and physique, right?" Gu Zhenhao exclaimed, "You are even better than them in sword attainments and flying sword power."
Lin Mu suddenly realized.
Gu Zhenhao actually speculated his strength from the earth-grade spirit-concentrating beads.
This made him feel a lot more at ease.
"Only you know about this, so don't tell anyone else." Lin Mu hurriedly warned, "You are generally right, but my strength is really not that strong. You know better than me the huge gap between returning to the void and fusion. It is too difficult to make up for this gap. I just got the earth-grade condensing spirit bead not long ago. My current strength is really about the same as that of a cultivator in the middle stage of fusion."
In fact, his physique has already reached the late stage of fusion, and it has been tempered and improved through the peerless thunder tribulation. It is tougher than the physique of an ordinary cultivator in the late stage of fusion.
"Don't worry, I will never tell anyone else about this." Gu Zhenhao hurriedly said.
Gu Zhenhao's heart is as clear as a mirror.
Lin Mu's implication is that he has just obtained the earth-grade condensing spirit bead, and he is not stingy with such a treasure and gave him two. It can be seen that he really treats him as his own and does not treat him as a stranger.
Thinking of how he had righteously rejected the generous conditions offered by four or five mid-stage fusion cultivators two days ago without revealing any details about Lin Mu, he felt that his choice was correct.
Those mid-stage fusion cultivators could only give him some spirit stones and cultivation resources.
But Lin Mu could give him and the entire Gu family a bright future!
Even a fool could make a choice about what to do.
He would naturally not make a mistake.
"Lin Mu, Jing Cheng." On the battle stage, the elder in white cheered loudly.
"It's my turn." Lin Mu glanced at Jing Cheng who flew to the seventh battle stage, and a smile appeared on his face. He greeted Gu Zhenhao and flew to the battle stage.
As soon as the two of them came on stage, the cultivators below the stage started to discuss.
"Lin Mu's luck is too good!"
"It's already the third round, and the opponent he met is not even in the middle stage of the fusion."
"Jing Cheng's luck is also very good. He entered the third round before he reached the middle stage of the fusion. Now there are two people with good luck. One of them will be eliminated. Who will be eliminated?"
"It must be Jing Cheng!" A cultivator in the Return to Void stage said without hesitation.
"That's not necessarily true. Lin Mu's killing of Yu Lin in the first round was a complete accident. The second round was when he really showed his greenness. He was able to defeat Ye Peng because of a little bit of luck. He almost lost. In my opinion, the outcome of this game is unpredictable."
"Damn! How can his luck be so good?" Liao Shu looked at Lin Mu who flew to the opposite platform, turned his head and said to the blue-clothed cultivator, "If as you said, he has hidden some strength, he is likely to defeat Jing Cheng and advance to the fourth round this time."
"A cultivator in the middle stage of the Return to Void can enter the fourth round. Not to mention in our Jinxiu world, even in the world of the living, In other great realms, he is invincible in the same level, the most brilliant person, and no one can match him. "The blue-clothed cultivator said, "Although there is a lot of luck in this, luck is also a part of strength."
"He successfully advanced this time, and became the top 64, not far from the top 16." Liao Shu worriedly said, "With his talent, he has won three high-quality mineral veins this time. After a hundred years, his strength will definitely increase significantly. By then, he will be a strong competitor for the top 16, and our biggest competitor!"
Liao Shu's words already revealed a hint of murderous intent.
"I don't believe his luck will always be so good." The blue-clothed cultivator glanced at Liao Shu, his face gloomy, "If one of us encounters him in the fourth round, we must be merciless and severely injure him."
"It's best to kill him!" Liao Shu said concisely.
"He is not weak, and it's too difficult to kill him." The blue-clothed cultivator analyzed.
"His cultivation is the biggest disadvantage." Liao Shu snorted coldly, "As long as his cultivation is exhausted, the power of his flying sword will be greatly reduced if he relies on the sword domain alone. At that time, as long as he doesn't hesitate to use his trump card, there is a great hope to kill him, or at least he can be severely injured, and he may not be able to recover in his lifetime."
"You have prepared a trump card for so long, are you willing to use it to deal with him?" The blue-clothed cultivator asked with a smile.
Liao Shu's face stagnated, his blood subsided, and he regained his rationality, "I just said it casually. There is no need to use the trump card to deal with him."
While the two were talking, the competition between Lin Mu and Jing Cheng on the battle stage had begun.
As soon as he came up, Lin Mu had a slight advantage.
Learning from the last lesson, Lin Mu still chose to hide his strength this time, but he was not too arrogant. While ensuring that he had the upper hand, he tried to fight Jing Cheng slowly as much as possible.
In the eyes of the cultivators watching from the stage, he had already used all his strength and was in a close fight with Jing Cheng.
This competition was uneventful.
After fighting for an incense stick of time, Lin Mu began to launch a series of powerful attacks just like last time.
With several consecutive sword strikes, he forced Jing Cheng off the stage.
He had tried this trick many times and it worked!
Others must have thought that this was his strongest trump card, and this was the effect he wanted.
"Lin Mu won again!"
After the white-robed elder opened the ancient ban and announced the result of the competition, Lin Mu heard thousands of cultivators exclaim at the same time.
