Battle the Seventh Order Again

"What brings you here today?" Zhu Hou asked, looking at him.

"This junior would like to try again!" Lin Mu said.

Zhu Hou nodded slightly and planted the rusty longsword in his hand into the ground.

He stood still.

"Make your move!"

Lin Mu nodded, took a deep breath, and his blood and qi circulated continuously, causing his aura to rise steadily.

Noticing Lin Mu's change, Zhu Hou's eyes narrowed slightly.

Third Order!

In just two months, Lin Mu has already reached the Third Order!

This cultivation speed is extremely fast.

It took him one or two years to break through from the Second Order to the Third Order.

His talent would be considered quite good if he were placed in Sacred Origin Martial School.

His breakthrough to the Seventh Order was also due to some fortuitous circumstances.

After all, it becomes increasingly difficult for martial artists to break through to higher levels.

He also noticed that Lin Mu was significantly different from before.

He held a long sword, as if he and the sword were one.

That feeling was distinctly different from before.

"Not bad!" Zhu Hou said softly.

If others heard what he said, they would surely be shocked.

You must know, this is Zhu Hou!

Seventh Order powerhouse!

He had seen countless younger generations.

A person who can earn his praise is a rare find.

Lin Mu took a deep breath, and the long sword in his hand trembled slightly, a sword aura emanating from his body.

Thunder and Flame swirled around the long sword.

Lin Mu was like a dragon.

Dragon's Roar resounded.

Whoosh!

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

He was much faster than before, and his movements were extremely decisive.

Zhu Hou was somewhat suspicious that Lin Mu had been holding back his true abilities last time.

How could anyone improve so much in just two months?

In the blink of an eye, Lin Mu appeared before him.

The long sword in his hand carried an astonishing amount of power.

The terrifying slash landed at that moment.

Thunder Flame Strike!

In an instant, Thunder and Flame merged, forming a giant dragon that lunged at Zhu Hou.

This strike was at least several times more powerful than the previous ones.

Moreover, Zhu Hou discovered that Lin Mu's Blade Technique had undergone a significant change.

His previous Blade Technique incorporated multiple techniques, making it powerful when executed, but ultimately not strong enough.

The final burst of power can be affected by other moves.

But now, he seems to be able to channel all his power into this move, and the power it unleashes is much stronger than before.

All forces came together.

The terrifying slash was crisp, powerful, and swift!

It has a sense of simplification and decomposition.

The Thunder and Fire Dragon came to him.

Zhu Hou raised one hand, and an invisible force appeared at that moment.

Boom!

The Thunderfire Dragon seemed to be affected by some kind of force and vanished instantly.

Lin Mu's figure also flew out.

Zhu Hou's eyes narrowed slightly.

He could feel the power of that attack.

If he weren't Seventh Tier Martial Artist, he couldn't have done it so easily.

"Your attack was much stronger than before. It seems you've improved a lot recently!" Zhu Hou said slowly, his eyes fixed on Lin Mu.

He developed a greater appreciation for talent.

If Lin Mu didn't already have a master, he would have taken Lin Mu under his wing.

"But we still can't get Senior Zhu Hou to draw his long sword!" Lin Mu said.

"Because it's not enough. Your combat power is much stronger than before, but there are still many flaws. Your breathing technique and Secret Art are all weaknesses!"

"You have to polish all these things to the perfect level before you can reach the pinnacle!" Zhu Hou explained.

Lin Mu nodded.

"Besides asking me to draw my sword, do you have any other questions?" Zhu Hou asked again.

"I can now fuse Martial Skill and unleash enough power, but I'm still a bit lost about the path I should take in the future!"

"I'd like to know, if I were to cultivate, which Martial Skill should I choose?" Lin Mu asked.

Zhu Hou nodded slightly. "You're a promising student, knowing to ask me questions in these very places!"

"Your path is decisive, as still as a virgin and as swift as a rabbit!"

"Explosive power is what you're after, so you can only choose this type of Martial Skill!"

"The Blade Technique I recommend to you is called the Annihilation Blade, Hundred Annihilations, One Strike!"

"This Blade Technique is remarkably similar to the Blade Technique you just demonstrated; it can annihilate all techniques in the world with a single strike!"

"If you can integrate all the Blade Technique you've practiced with this Blade Technique, then Self-Created Martial Skill will be much easier in the future!" Zhu Hou said.

Lin Mu nodded slightly and noted these down.

"As for Movement Technique, you previously practiced the Dragon's Thousand-Mile Stride and the Dragon Step, which are graceful and swift. I recommend you practice the Thunderous Shadow Step, Movement Technique moves like thunder, with continuous shadows that are hard to catch!"

"If we could integrate all those Movement Technique together, it would be much easier!"

"As for breathing techniques and Secret Art, I recommend you go for the explosive type, namely the Savage Dragon Qi Refining Technique and the Return to Origin Art."

"These two techniques have similarities, which will make it easier for you to refine them in the future!" Zhu Hou explained.

Lin Mu's face showed gratitude. "Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

"It's alright. You have good talent and will surely have a bright future. However, the path of a martial artist is as difficult as ascending to heaven, and it will only get harder as you go on!"

"I have cultivated for hundreds of years, and I am only at the Seventh Order. Reaching the Eighth Order is as difficult as moving mountains and crossing seas. Therefore, I hope to cultivate more strong individuals to serve the country!" said Zhu Hou.

Lin Mu nodded slightly.

He was aware of the human condition, and with such a talent, it was impossible for him to remain uninvolved.

After exchanging words with Zhu Hou for a while, Lin Mu left.

He is SS-grade member of the Vast Martial Hall, and is able to receive corresponding Martial Skill and techniques.

Lin Mu arrived at the Martial Skill exchange area and shared his thoughts.

Before long, these Martial Skills and Secret Art were placed in front of him.

As for the breathing technique, it was a reward for getting Martial Arts Exam Top Scorer, so naturally it couldn't be redeemed here.

Looking at the Martial Skill before him, Lin Mu discovered that they were all at the Fifth Stage.

The difficulty of cultivation is much greater than that of the fourth stage.

However, the effect will be better.

"Practice martial arts and improve my rank!" Lin Mu thought to himself.

The figure walked towards the Cultivation Room.

He took out the Hundred Annihilations, One Strike.

The above contains a detailed introduction to Martial Skill.

"Hundred Annihilations, One Strike (Fifth Stage): The power of the Blade Technique is concentrated into a single point. The Blade Technique is executed like a divine strike, which can subdue the heavens and World Annihilation the world, annihilating all laws."

Lin Mu continued to digest this information.

He discovered that the Hundred Annihilations, One Strike consists of three moves.

However, it is different from other Martial Skill.

If one cultivates to the third move, the first two moves will be replaced by the third move, leaving only the strongest strike.

This was also the original intention of the creators of Martial Skill.

With a single stroke, all laws vanished.

Time passed slowly, and it took Lin Mu a full week to fully digest this set of Blade Technique.

This is assuming there's a system in place; otherwise, it would take even longer.

It must be said that the higher the level of Martial Skill, the more difficult it is to understand and digest.

Lin Mu also realized how rare it was that his Self-Created Martial Skill could rival some weaker Fifth Stage Blade Technique.

Because Four-stage Martial Skill and Fifth Stage Martial Skill are not on the same level at all.
