The True Gap Between Him and the Scions of Great Families

"Could there be some misunderstanding here?" Lyu Hua asked, unwilling to give up.

"Absolutely impossible!"

"His background information is very simple, and his career path is easy to access."

"His information clearly shows the rise of a genius."

"For the previous ten years or so, his talent was quite average. It must have been recently that his physique awakened, which is why he has been on a winning streak all the way."

"If I'm not mistaken, he should possess some kind of physique that enhances cultivation speed."

"I don't know what the upper limit of this physique is, but judging from the current situation, it is definitely not weak," said Lu Guanlan.

Lyu Hua nodded. "I understand."

"Some things require a long-term perspective, and the path of martial arts cultivation is very long. In addition to improving our own strength, we also need to learn how to invest."

"Only in this way can we maximize our benefits in the future," Lu Guanlan instructed.

"I understand!" Lyu Hua nodded.

Lin Mu walked towards the interior of the Cultivation Room.

The Cultivation Room was large and spacious.

In front of the northernmost wall, an elderly man dressed in martial arts clothes sat cross-legged with his back to him.

The old man looked rather ordinary, but his back was ramrod straight, like a sharp blade.

A long knife rested on his knees, its blade slightly rusty, as if it had weathered many years.

Lin Mu approached from behind him and bowed slightly. "Are you Senior Zhu Hou?"

The old man's voice came from behind. "You are Lin Mu?"

Lin Mu nodded. "Yes!"

"What kind of guidance do you want from me?" Zhu Hou asked.

"I practice Blade Technique, and I want to follow the path of fierceness and power, pursuing the goal of defeating the enemy in the fastest way."

"Although I don't have Bottleneck right now, I always feel that there are some details I haven't grasped well, which may become my Heart Demon. So I hope that you can give me some advice so that I can grow better," Lin Mu explained.

Zhu Hou stood up and faced Lin Mu.

He planted the long sword in his hand into the ground.

"I'll give you three chances to draw this knife," said Zhu Hou.

Lin Mu nodded. He knew that the other party wanted to know his true skill level.

Lin Mu took out his long sword, his eyes showing a solemn expression.

The man in front of them was at least Seventh Tier Martial Artist.

He would be one of the top figures in the school.

Even in the provincial capital, they hold a very high status.

For Lin Mu now, he is an unattainable figure.

He must unleash his strongest offensive against such a person.

Otherwise, let alone drawing his sword, it would be impossible for him to move even an inch.

Lin Mu adjusted his breathing, and then used his breathing technique, entering a rather mysterious state.

Several scales grew out of his body.

An unknown Secret Art was also used at this moment.

His Divine Soul enveloped the longsword, and gusts of wind surged forth.

At this moment, Lin Mu was about to unleash his strongest attack.

He rarely had this opportunity in the past.

Because this attack requires charging up.

There's rarely much time to prepare during a battle.

Ten minutes later, Lin Mu's aura continued to rise.

The long sword in his hand exuded a sharp and fierce aura.

He took a deep breath, mobilizing the Source Force within his body to its maximum.

Whoosh!

With a whooshing sound, Lin Mu charged toward Zhu Hou.

Flames were burning on the surface of his blade.

Dragon Flame Saber Art!

The Dragon Descends Upon the World!

A dragon's roar resounded at that moment.

Flames burned around Lin Mu's body.

Several Fire Dragon appeared.

Lin Mu raised his long sword and slashed at him.

Laugh!

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

The long sword slashed, and the intense heat enveloped Zhu Hou.

Almost the instant the long sword fell, several Fire Dragon rushed towards Zhu Hou.

The Fire Dragon also possesses some wind attributes, making the fire even more intense.

Only!

Just as the Fire Dragon approached Zhu Hou, an invisible aura surged from Zhu Hou's body.

Boom!

Several Fire Dragon then dissipated, as if affected by some kind of force.

Lin Mu stood not far away and saw the scene before him, his eyes filled with horror.

This was his strongest attack.

Even if they couldn't harm Zhu Hou, they shouldn't have been destroyed so easily.

"Is this the strength of Seventh Order cultivator? I could be instantly killed in front of him at any moment," Lin Mu thought to himself.

This was his first time meeting a Seventh Order opponent face-to-face.

This was also the first time I realized just how terrifying a powerhouse of this level could be.

It's no exaggeration to say that...

Even if Lin Mu's strength increases tenfold.

It's impossible for it to cause him any harm.

To kill him, the other party only needs to move a finger.

"This is terrifying! And this is only the Seventh Order. If it were the Eighth Order or ninth rank, how strong would it be!" Lin Mu thought to himself.

"Not bad! Your combat strength has exceeded your current Blood Qi Value, approaching the Third Order."

"If you were just an ordinary person, reaching your level would be considered very impressive, but you are no ordinary person, and your pursuits are naturally different."

"You have mastered many Martial Skills and Secret Art, and you can use them freely, but that's not enough!"

"Because your moves are too chaotic," said Zhu Hou.

Lin Mu looked puzzled. "Please enlighten me, senior."

"Do you know what level Shen Haiyao, who is ranked first on the Human Ranking, is at?"

Zhu Hou asked.

Lin Mu shook his head.

Zhu Hou slightly rotated the long sword in his hand, and a female phantom appeared.

The phantom carries a longbow on its back and holds a long sword in its hand, giving it a heroic and dashing appearance.

She looks like a female general.

The phantom's gaze was fixed ahead, and ripples of water appeared around her. The long sword in her hand gleamed, and there were azure patterns on her skin.

Her figure rushed forward, her long sword flashing out slashes like flowing water.

As soon as the slash was unleashed, she took out her longbow, nocked several arrows, and the arrows flew out, transforming into a nine-star formation.

Her figure rushed forward, and streams of Source Force flowed like water on her long sword.

The moment the longsword was swung, an aura like that of a colossal beast from the abyss appeared.

She unleashed nine consecutive slashes, each perfectly timed to match the long arrow.

The sword energy concealed the shadows of arrows, and the power it unleashed increased exponentially.

Lin Mu's eyes were filled with shock when he saw this scene.

He knew very well that Shen Haiyao's methods were extremely ingenious.

Not only did it combine archery and Blade Technique, but it also achieved a synergistic effect where one plus one equals more than two.

This was a method he had never considered before.

"Whether it's Secret Art, cultivation methods, or Martial Skill, they are all well-matched! Although these cultivation methods are not of a very high level, the power they unleash will increase exponentially."

"This is the real difference between the scions of aristocratic families and me."

"Even though we both have Four-stage Martial Skill, my opponent can combine Secret Art and cultivation methods to unleash stronger combat power. In other words, I've already lost at the starting line," Lin Mu thought to himself.

He knew very well that many of his efforts would be erased in the presence of powerful families.

Because from the moment they are born, the path they are meant to take is pre-designed.

He could only rely on himself!
