Chapter 6 reveals Lin Mu's true strength: he is a high-level Soul Master!
Upon hearing this, Lin Mu slowly opened his eyes, calmly looking at the burly bear in front of him, and then said indifferently, "Shut up, you're disturbing my disciple's cultivation!"
His tone carried a hint of warning; he had no time to deal with this bunch of brats right now. Improving his disciples' strength was the most important thing!
"You're asking for it!" Seeing that the other party was ignoring him like this, Liu Qing couldn't help but shout angrily.
A guy who doesn't even have a spirit ring dares to disregard me; this is a blatant insult!
Without further ado, he unleashed his soul skill and charged towards Lin Mu: "Second Soul Skill, Bear King Charge!"
As the yellow spirit ring on his body lit up, Liu Qing's muscles instantly swelled to nearly double their size, and with the ferocious aura unique to giant bears, he slammed into the location where Lin Mu was!
If this attack hits, it would be enough to severely injure an ordinary Great Soul Master! Clearly, Liu Qing's goal was to cripple Lin Mu in front of everyone, so as to show Xiao Chenyu and his group of kids his power!
Seeing this scene, Xiao Chenyu and the others all wore expressions of anticipation and arrogance, along with a hint of envy. They wished they could be the ones unleashing the skill right in front of them!
Shi Tie, who was diligently cultivating nearby, was also startled by this aura and instinctively cried out, "Master, be careful!"
Just as the bear shadow was about to crash into him—
Lin Mu made a move!
He remained seated on the bluestone, but slowly raised his right hand, spread his fingers, and gently pushed Liu Qing, who was rushing towards him.
There was no fluctuation of soul power, no release of any skills, and no earth-shattering display.
The only response was a heavy thud and the sound of rocks shattering behind them!
When everyone came to their senses, they saw that Liu Qing, who had been so aggressive, was sent flying by an irresistible force. He crashed through three or four tree trunks and finally embedded himself in the mountain behind him!
At this moment, he coughed up blood, and the raging bear spirit behind him vanished in an instant!
One strike!
With just this seemingly casual push, a level 26 offensive-type Soul Master lost his fighting ability!
The entire venue fell into dead silence!
Xiao Chenyu and the others were completely stunned. What had they just witnessed? Lin Mu, that good-for-nothing, had actually sent a powerful, offensive Soul Master flying with a casual push! How was that possible?!
What... what kind of power is this?!
Lin Mu ignored everyone's expressions and slowly withdrew his outstretched right hand, as if he had just swatted away a fly.
He turned to look at Xiao Chenyu, who was already terrified, and said with a contemptuous smile, "It seems that the backer you found this time isn't very sturdy! Get out of my sight within three breaths, or else..."
Xiao Chenyu was already trembling with fear. He glanced at his cousin, who was vomiting blood and looking terrified, and then turned to look at Lin Mu. There was no longer any contempt in his eyes!
"You...you just wait! This is absolutely not over!" Xiao Chenyu shouted fiercely, but his voice was weak. Then he and his henchmen helped Liu Qing up and fled in a sorry state.
After Xiao Chenyu and the others left, Lin Mu turned to Shi Tie and said calmly, "Continue your cultivation for today. Don't let external things disrupt your rhythm! Once you successfully enter the Body Refinement Realm, you can easily crush someone like Xiao Chenyu!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Tie was startled and quickly composed himself, continuing to guide the spiritual energy that was causing him unbearable pain to temper his meridians.
At this moment, however, his reverence for his master and his confidence in the path he was cultivating had risen to a new level!
Body Refinement Realm? It won't be long! In the academy competition a few days from now, I will definitely shock everyone and let those who looked down on us see who the real trash is!
……
The fact that Lin Mu casually injured a Great Soul Master was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples in the small Notting Academy.
Initially, it was just a few of Xiao Chenyu's lackeys who, after witnessing Lin Mu's strength, spread what they had seen and heard in a slightly exaggerated manner.
But once rumors start, they become uncontrollable! With the embellishment of a group of children, they begin to ferment and distort rapidly.
"Hey, have you heard? Lin Mu, the gatekeeper at our academy, crippled a Grand Soul Master who was about to reach level 30 with just one slap!"
"I heard that all the bones in his body were broken, and even his martial spirit was almost shattered. He's still bedridden and can't get out of bed!"
"Really? That gatekeeper Lin Mu? Isn't he a useless good-for-nothing who can't cultivate?"
"How could this be fake? There were several people watching! Lin Mu was just sitting on the rock, and with a simple wave of his hand, that Great Soul Master was sent flying more than ten meters away! They didn't even see any soul rings light up on Lin Mu's body, nor did they sense even the slightest fluctuation of soul power!"
"Hiss~ My god... Just how powerful must that be? At least a Soul King, or maybe even a hidden Soul Emperor!"
"No wonder he always acts so aloof towards everyone. Turns out he's a high-level Soul Master, he just can't be bothered with us kids..."
……
Such discussions began to spread gradually throughout the academy, and even some of the teachers began to have doubts, not to mention the children whose average age was only eight or nine!
A "good-for-nothing" who is usually used as an example to ridicule suddenly becomes a hidden master. This strong contrast and drama is what makes people talk about the most.
However, the outside world's turmoil seemed to have no effect on this peaceful place in the back mountains.
Lin Mu continued to lie on the bluestone every day, basking in the sun and resting with his eyes closed. He would only open his eyes occasionally to give Shi Tie some pointers on his movements, while Shi Tie had to figure everything out on his own!
After all, the master can only lead you through the door; the cultivation is up to you!
As evening approached, the afterglow of the setting sun bathed the entire back mountain in a warm golden hue, and a gentle breeze made it all the more pleasant!
"drink!"
A low growl, filled with suppressed pain and determination, echoed continuously from the back mountain, seemingly out of place amidst the beautiful sunset!
Shi Tie was shirtless, his body radiating heat. His bronze skin glowed faintly in the setting sun, and fine beads of sweat rolled down his chest muscles.
He remained firmly in a horse stance, his back ramrod straight, except for his right fist, which he raised as if gathering power. His whole body was tense, and the veins on his arm bulged instantly.
The next moment, he twisted his body, retracted his arm, and threw a punch in one fluid motion! The punch, full of explosive power, slammed directly forward, carrying an ancient and heavy charm.
There was no fluctuation of soul power, nor did any martial soul phantom appear behind him; only a low whistling sound came from the fist tearing through the air.
With a muffled "bang!", Shi Tie's fist slammed solidly into the ancient tree in front of him.
With a "crack," the ancient tree snapped, sending dust billowing everywhere!
Lin Mu, who was resting with his eyes closed, was startled awake by this scene. He raised an eyebrow and said in a low voice with a hint of surprise, "Completed the basics so quickly, not bad, not bad at all. As expected of a cultivation genius who can activate the Thick Earth Star Position!"
