Fifth Order Goal
As the sandstorm gradually dissipated, an even more surprising scene unfolded.
All that could be seen was Lin Mu holding a long saber beneath the giant sword, his entire body in a bow stance, blocking the man's sword strike.
However, blood was flowing from Lin Mu's skin, indicating that the attack had also caused him some internal injuries.
Even so, many people still looked surprised.
They all knew very well how terrifying the man's attack had been.
Lin Mu was able to hold on under these circumstances.
Such methods are indeed astonishing.
"How terrifying! How can his physical body be so strong?"
"Both of them are monsters. One can unleash the full potential of his physical strength, and the other can withstand the opponent's attacks!"
"So it turns out that you can achieve this level simply by relying on physical strength!"
"..."
Many people sighed.
This was the first time they had ever seen such a scene.
I also became more curious about physical strength.
What would happen if they also cultivated their physical bodies to this level?
The man with the giant sword let out a soft breath, slowly sheathed his sword, and looked at Lin Mu with a complicated expression.
Lin Mu's performance was indeed a surprise to him.
Even though he was injured, he still did not use his Blood Qi.
In fact, the moment he swung the greatsword, he felt that Lin Mu would not be able to withstand it and would use his Blood Qi.
However, Lin Mu did not.
A slight smile appeared on his lips.
You do have some skills!
Lin Mu shook his numb hand as he withstood the blow, which almost made him collapse.
Fortunately, after a year of training, his physical body had developed a strong ability to withstand blows.
"If you were any stronger, I probably wouldn't have been able to hold on!" Lin Mu said.
"This is my limit!" said the man with the giant sword.
"Your current cultivation level is quite good, and your development in all aspects is relatively balanced. However, before breaking through to the Fifth Order, you should focus more on honing your physical body!"
Lin Mu was slightly taken aback; he knew the other person was giving him pointers.
He couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "What are the benefits of refining your physical body after a breakthrough?"
"The True Soul Realm is a very special Realm; it is the Realm that truly differentiates martial artists from ordinary people!"
"What's special about this Realm is that the martial artist's physical body will evolve in an incredible direction!"
"Once it evolves, it will be completely transformed!"
"And polishing the physical body is like polishing the foundation!"
"Two martial artists, one who can lift 1,000 kilograms and the other who can lift 10,000 kilograms, how many times do you think there will be a difference between them after they enter the True Martial Realm?" the man with the giant sword asked.
"Twenty times?" Lin Mu boldly guessed.
"At least seventy times, and possibly even a hundred times!"
"Of course, this is only the beginning of this Realm. As both sides cultivate, the gap in this Realm will gradually be narrowed!" said the man with the giant sword.
Lin Mu was horrified.
Seventy times!
Even a hundred times!
What does this mean?
This means that both of them entered the True Soul Realm at the same time.
The latter could almost crush the other person to death with just one finger.
The stronger one's foundation, the stronger one will be when entering the True Soul Realm.
This was also what Black Saber King had told him before.
However, his explanation was not detailed or comprehensive enough.
This led Lin Mu to a guess.
Surprisingly, the physical body and Blood Qi undergo changes after entering the True Soul Realm.
What about the Divine Soul?
For a moment, Lin Mu's eyes narrowed slightly.
He knew that many martial artists would infuse their Divine Soul at the Fourth Order, thus advancing to the Fifth Order.
The Divine Soul Power gained from watering may undergo a transformation after cultivation level increases.
This is why some martial artists who obtained their Divine Soul Power through nurturing still reached the Sixth Order or even Seventh Order in the future.
A plan also emerged in Lin Mu's mind.
He planned to hone his Divine Soul, Blood Qi, and physical body to their fullest potential before breaking through.
He believed that under these circumstances, once he reached the Fifth Order, his combat power would reach an unprecedented level.
"I wonder if anyone managed to do this back then!" Lin Mu thought to himself.
"Thank you for your guidance!" he said, looking at the man with the giant sword.
"It's alright. You have great potential and will definitely become a top expert in the future. Humanity needs you too!" said the man with the giant sword.
Lin Mu smiled slightly. He hadn't thought that far ahead, but if he could really go to the summit, he certainly wouldn't miss it.
It's lonely at the top!
But the view from above is also the best.
Lin Mu walked to the side.
Almost the instant the man with the giant sword sheathed his Long Sword, a passage appeared not far away.
Entering it signifies successfully completing the challenge.
Lin Mu walked into the passage.
He found that there were two paths in front of him.
First, proceed to the Second Floor.
II. Leave the Demon Cloud Tower.
Lin Mu also wanted to go and see the Second Floor.
But he didn't have that many points.
Unlike other towers, the Demon Cloud Tower does not allow you to challenge the Second Floor for free after passing the first floor.
You still need a spot or points.
Lin Mu headed towards the second path.
Not long after, he left the Demon Cloud Tower.
Just as he left the Demon Cloud Tower, a light appeared, and a message appeared on the Demon Cloud Tower's Tower Body.
"Lin Mu, after 11 months and 7 days, has successfully completed the first level of the Demon Cloud Tower on his first attempt!"
This data also caught the attention of the guards, who looked surprised.
Despite guarding this place for so long, very few people succeed on their first attempt.
And they've been in the Blood Moon World for so long.
Their gazes all fell on Lin Mu, their eyes filled with admiration.
Lin Mu must have unique abilities to have survived in the Blood Moon World for so long.
Lin Mu walked outside.
Having spent so much time in the Blood Moon World, I'm finding it hard to adjust to the outside world.
Indeed, one should not be too ascetic.
Otherwise, we wouldn't know what the real world is like.
I recall that year Demon Cloud Tower.
Lin Mu was like an ascetic monk, spending all his time cultivating and having no other thoughts.
Moreover, the environment there is harsh, there is not much good food, and it is basically a high-pressure environment.
Lin Mu walked towards the Cafeteria.
He hadn't had anything good to eat for more than half a year, and he was craving it.
There was plenty of delicious food in the Cafeteria, and he ate to his heart's content.
After a satisfying meal, Lin Mu returned to his residence, took a good shower, and fell asleep in bed.
This was the most peaceful night he had slept in the past six months!
