Supreme Genius
Lin Mu persevered silently, and his Mental Power continued to improve under this state.
Lan Xuanxin stared at Lin Mu with her beautiful eyes, her pupils narrowing slightly.
She could sense that Lin Mu was unusual.
Normally, even martial artists with Mental Power of 3.0 or higher would find it difficult to persevere once they step into the waterfall.
But Lin Mu has a kind of feeling that he gets stronger when facing stronger opponents.
Aside from being in great pain at first, he seemed to get used to it in less than half an hour.
Moreover, his Mental Power is constantly increasing.
"How is that possible? Could he be following the path of Gangzhi?" Lan Xuanxin thought to himself.
She became even more interested in Lin Mu.
Under her gaze, Lin Mu's body surface faintly shimmered with golden light.
This is a scene that only appears when Mental Power breaks through to level 3.0.
As the golden light intensified, Lin Mu's expression became increasingly relaxed.
"Such a powerful mental talent!" Lan Xuanxin murmured.
Lin Mu's performance surprised her.
She has been here for so many years, and very few martial artists have caught her eye.
Because there are very few martial artists with spiritual talent.
It is very rare for Lin Mu to achieve such Mental Strength at this level of cultivation.
The last person she paid this much attention to was Feng Fei.
But that person was already a Seventh Tier Martial Artist, a Giant in his own right.
The Lin Mu before him seemed to be comparable to him.
This means that Lin Mu might become Seventh Tier Martial Artist in the future.
"I never expected that another genius would emerge from Li City!" Lan Xuanxin thought to himself.
Her hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, and beams of light fell upon the waterfall.
The already turbulent waterfall became even more violent, and it seemed as if Mental Fragments were constantly falling down.
Sizzle!
A series of sounds continued to come.
The pain on Lin Mu's face became more obvious.
He felt that the mental pressure was much stronger than before, and that there were also sharp blade fragments in those heavy punches, occasionally slicing across the surface of his mind.
The overall difficulty has increased several times.
However, Lin Mu had never experienced this level of cultivation before, and thought it was normal.
He gritted his teeth and silently endured it.
System notifications kept ringing out.
"Defend against a Mental Attack and gain 312 times the efficiency."
"Defend against a Mental Attack and gain 141 times the efficiency."
"Defend against a Mental Attack and gain 278 times the efficiency."
"..."
Under these conditions, Lin Mu gradually adapted, and the golden light on the surface of his body became increasingly intense.
His Mental Strength is constantly increasing, and it seems he's about to break through to 4.0!
Lan Xuanxin looked surprised when she saw this.
She hadn't expected Lin Mu to be so adaptable.
In this situation, they can still persevere.
But she didn't increase the pressure; she knew very well that this intensity was already at a critical level.
If this continues, although Lin Mu can withstand it, it could easily damage his Divine Soul.
"I never expected to encounter such a genius in the Mental Domain!" Lan Xuanxin thought to herself.
Her fingers traced lines in the air, and soon several characters appeared.
The characters floated towards Lin Mu and circled around him.
As Lin Mu stood beneath the waterfall, he seemed to hear a sound.
"Keep your Divine Soul focused on oneness, break through illusions and act accordingly; let your spirit scatter across heaven and earth, and let your divine essence gather into nothingness..."
Lin Mu's heart skipped a beat.
He could sense that there was something hidden in those words.
He listened carefully, and then a system voice came through.
"Completing one Arcane Teaching grants 412 times the efficiency."
In that instant, Lin Mu was filled with many thoughts.
The sound continued, and Lin Mu continued to listen.
System notifications kept ringing out.
"Completing one Arcane Teaching grants 311 times the efficiency."
"Completing one Arcane Teaching grants 231 times the efficiency."
"Completing one Arcane Teaching grants 244 times the efficiency."
"..."
The sounds finally stopped about an hour later.
In Lin Mu's mind, a Secret Art took shape.
He cultivated according to the Secret Art, and his Mental Power seemed to be drawn by something, his Divine Soul constantly circulated, and he seemed to transition from the formless to the tangible.
The golden light on Lin Mu's body became increasingly pronounced, making him look like a golden man.
Under the influence of the golden light, the oppressive force of the waterfall gradually weakened, and the pain caused by those Mental Fragments also dissipated considerably.
Lan Xuanxin's eyes widened when she saw this.
Lin Mu's performance surprised her greatly.
It's important to know that the Mental Secret Technique she taught reached the Third Stage, which is extremely difficult.
Ordinary people would find it difficult to understand even after listening for several days and nights, let alone an hour.
Because the cultivation of spiritual techniques is significantly different from the cultivation of physical bodies.
Without sufficient understanding, it is impossible to make any progress.
"Unbelievable! I, Lan Xuanxin, am so lucky to have met a genius in the Mental Domain!"
Lan Xuanxin's face was full of excitement.
She knew very well how rare intellectual talent was.
Moreover, mental talent determines how far a martial artist can grow.
She was able to become Seventh Tier Martial Artist because her mental talent was strong enough.
Lin Mu's performance is much better than hers back then.
With proper nurturing, his future could potentially be even brighter than hers.
Lan Xuanxin's hands kept forming hand seals, and faint Rune Seal appeared around Lin Mu.
A Formation slowly took shape.
The Tower Guardian on the Fourth Floor slightly contracted his pupils.
He did not continue to repair the Formation's origin, and with a swift movement, he arrived at the Fifth Floor.
When he saw Lin Mu's condition, his face was filled with shock.
He was Fourth Tier Martial Artist and knew very well what Lin Mu's performance meant.
He hasn't even reached the Second-Order Martial Artist yet, but his Mental Strength is already close to 4.0!
If this gets out, many Third-Order Martial Artists will probably feel ashamed.
Even among Third-Order Martial Artist, many lack such Mental Strength.
"Senior! Isn't it a bit abrupt for you to use the Soul Formation?" Although he was surprised, the Tower Guardian still asked Lan Xuanxin.
"What do you know? He's a genius! A genius, you know that?"
The Tower Guardian looked surprised.
"What's the meaning?"
"His mental talent far surpasses mine, even more so than Feng Fei's before!"
"If someone like him isn't properly nurtured, it would be a loss for the Divine Continent!" Lan Xuanxin himself.
The Tower Guardian's face was filled with horror.
He knew very well what kind of person Lan Xuanxin was.
Seventh Tier Martial Artist!
Moreover, his mental talent is extraordinary.
Lin Mu's mental talent is even stronger than hers!
For a moment, he even wondered if he was dreaming.
If this is true.
Lin Mu's talent is definitely the strongest in history.
After all, mental talent is a very rare thing.
Little did they know that Lin Mu, sitting inside the Formation, felt as if he was about to explode.
Lan Xuanxin's Formation was unique, concentrating the waterfall's pressure on a single point to continuously nourish his spirit.
Furthermore, there were many Mental Fragments within the waterfall, piercing through his mind like knives.
His spirit was being continuously purified, and his Divine Soul was undergoing a transformation, but the pain was extremely unbearable.
