The Terrifying Power of the Divine Soul

As the voice rang out, many people turned their gazes toward this direction.

Although Lin Mu's figure had disappeared, many people still had expressions of shock in their eyes.

Successfully completed the 3 minutes and 15 seconds challenge, ranking 11th!

This result is absolutely remarkable.

Several people who had just come up from the Second Floor looked at each other with complicated expressions when they heard the voice.

You should know that each level here is more difficult than the last.

Lin Mu cleared the Third Floor faster than the Second Floor.

This level of skill is truly astonishing.

"Is this what a prodigy is?"

"Some people said before that although his skills were superb, his physical fitness and Blood Qi Value were not strong enough. Now it seems that he was only at the first level of refinement!"

"Incredible! Even some of the top talents on the Earth Ranking couldn't break the record on their first attempt, but he actually did it!"

"This isn't a freshman, this is a monster!"

"..."

Some people couldn't help but comment.

They greatly admired Lin Mu's performance.

Lin Mu was unaware of all this as he arrived at the Fourth Floor.

Unlike the previous three floors, this place is filled with a strange liquid.

As soon as Lin Mu entered, he recognized the liquid.

Rootless Water!

This water will not cause drowning because the water itself is composed of Source Force.

If a martial artist stays in it, he will be affected by the water and his movements will be restricted.

It's like being in quicksand; every movement requires tremendous effort.

In the flowing water, there are some Fierce Beast of enormous size.

They have blue faces and fangs, and are covered in scales.

Many martial artists, wielding weapons, attacked them.

The condition for clearing the Fourth Floor is to defeat the three-headed Deep Sea Monster Fish.

Not long after Lin Mu arrived at the Fourth Floor, a Deep Sea Monster Fish set its sights on him.

Unaffected by the Rootless Water, it rushed towards Lin Mu at an extremely fast speed.

Approaching Lin Mu, it bared its sharp teeth and lunged to bite.

Lin Mu swiftly dodged.

He discovered that the water flow slowed his movement speed by at least 50%.

"This is actually a good training ground!" Lin Mu thought to himself.

His figure kept moving.

The Deep Sea Monster Fish charged towards him.

It was very fast; each time it opened its fangs, it was like two guillotines, about to cut Lin Mu's body in half.

Lin Mu continuously activated his movement Movement Technique, his figure quickly dodging and weaving, barely managing to avoid each attack.

After about an hour, Lin Mu's Movement Technique became more agile.

They seemed to handle the attacks from the Deep Sea Monster Fish with ease.

Some trainees who had just come up from the third stage quickly noticed Lin Mu.

They knew about Lin Mu's previous performance, but they didn't expect Lin Mu to still be here.

However, seeing Lin Mu's movements in the Rootless Water, their eyes held a hint of envy.

Because they were in Rootless Water, it was as if they were weighed down with lead weights, and they moved extremely slowly.

Faced with the attack of the Deep Sea Monster Fish, one can only barely dodge by unleashing the power of Blood Qi.

Some of the weaker teams didn't last long before giving up and leaving.

At this moment, Lin Mu took out his long sword.

With the system's help, the training effect of the Rootless Water is now weaker.

Sizzle!

The long sword in his hand moved swiftly.

A Deep Sea Monster Fish died under his long sword.

These Deep Sea Monster Fish are just ordinary Third Order Fierce Beast.

It is the influence of the Rootless Water that makes it difficult for many martial artists to cope.

As long as they can adapt to the Rootless Water, these Deep Sea Monster Fish are nothing to them.

Within ten minutes, the three Deep Sea Monster Fish died.

An aged voice came from behind.

"Lin Mu, you've passed the Fourth Floor!"

Some people had complicated expressions in their eyes.

They were all senior students, and this wasn't the first or second time they had come here for training.

Compared to Lin Mu, they are utterly weak.

The differences between people are so great.

"I've been in the academy for three years and have come here to challenge this level seven or eight times, but I've always been stopped at this level. He's just a newcomer, and he's passed four levels in a row on his first visit!"

"That's amazing! I used to think I was a genius, but now I realize I'm just an ordinary person with a little talent!"

"Alright, is it really that interesting to constantly compare him to geniuses? He doesn't exist unless we pay attention to him!"

"..."

These people were talking about it.

They were both envious and jealous of Lin Mu's performance.

By the time we reached the fifth level, the number of people had noticeably decreased.

Some of them were students who had completed the First Level in just a few minutes.

Even among the senior students, they are considered to be among the stronger ones.

When they saw Lin Mu, there was a look of surprise in their eyes.

Because Lin Mu is quite famous among the newcomers.

They had some understanding of this.

They just didn't expect that Lin Mu could also reach the fifth level.

"Is passing the challenges this easy now? A freshman got here so quickly?"

"Come on, you know what the Fourth Floor, the Rootless Water,' is all about. It's not a place where an ordinary person can get through!"

"Indeed, that Rootless Water can reduce a martial artist's speed by more than 50%. Fighting Deep Sea Monster Fish under those conditions would be extremely difficult!"

"..."

Lin Mu maintained a calm expression, ignoring their attention, and looked towards the stone pillar.

There are Stone Painting on the stone pillars in this level.

The Stone Painting feature intricate patterns that exude a mysterious and enigmatic aura.

If you observe carefully, you will feel your Divine Soul being drained.

"It seems that the challenge of this fifth level is to use Divine Soul to outline the pattern," Lin Mu thought to himself.

He stood in front of a Stone Painting.

His Divine Soul quickly sketched out the image, and within a few minutes, most of it was complete in his mind.

Lin Mu also discovered that this pattern was quite peculiar, as if it contained some kind of rule of heaven and earth.

He stopped sketching, and the image disappeared from his mind.

A slight smile played on Lin Mu's lips, Divine Soul was once again captured.

The pattern was reshaped.

He stopped when he was almost finished.

A system notification sounded.

"Complete a rune engraving and gain 144 times the efficiency."

This kind of outlining not only trains the Divine Soul, but also enhances the control over the Divine Soul.

It is a very unique form of exercise.

Lin Mu also discovered that in the process of sketching, he seemed to be able to grasp some kind of rule of heaven and earth.

This was an experience he had never had before.

With each trial, Lin Mu's Divine Soul Power was rapidly depleted.

About half an hour later, beads of sweat appeared on Lin Mu's forehead, and his face turned pale.

Some people's eyes also fell on him.

They found Lin Mu to be incredible.

It's amazing that I can still persevere after looking at the paintings for so long.

They showed no intention of stopping to rest at all.

You should know that this kind of outlining is very taxing on Divine Soul.

Many people can't stand it and lie on the ground after only trying it twice.

Half an hour!

This Divine Soul Power is at least at the Second Order!

But Lin Mu's Divine Soul Power reached the Second Order not long after he entered the academy?

What an incredible talent!
