Three Martial Skills

"I understand!" Lin Mu nodded.

"Come with me. I'll take you to choose Martial Skills!" Wang Tao said.

"Mm!"

Lin Mu followed him to the basement of the Duel Hall, where there was an exceptionally vast space.

The two made their way to a brightly lit room. Wang Tao waved one hand, and rows of virtual projections appeared.

Information on hundreds of books was displayed before Lin Mu.

"I've watched many of your duels. Your fighting style is rather forceful, and your methods are fairly direct."

"If you weren't about to take the Martial Arts Exam, I would recommend this training plan." Wang Tao tapped with his finger.

A Virtual Screen appeared before Lin Mu.

Information on three Martial Skills was displayed on the screen.

Dragon's Thousand-Mile Stride (Second Stage): When executed, the blade moved like a dragon and could unleash tremendous damage.

Immovable Rock Golden Body (Second Stage): It could greatly enhance the body's defense. Once activated, the user became like an immovable rock, indestructible.

Berserk Strike (Second Stage): It could unleash immense punching force in a short time, though it carried certain side effects after use.

"With these three Martial Skills, combined with C-grade Potions and the Cultivation Room prepared for you, you can greatly bring out your potential."

"But these three Martial Skills are far from simple. Whether it's Dragon's Thousand-Mile Stride or Immovable Rock Golden Body, both require considerable effort. Right now is not the best time to choose them," Wang Tao explained.

Lin Mu understood what he meant. If he chose this set of Martial Skills, his strength would not rapidly improve in a short time.

But in the future, he would be able to make a tremendous leap.

"By comparison, I still recommend this plan." Wang Tao waved one hand, just about to bring up another set of information.

Lin Mu said from the side, "This set, then!"

Wang Tao froze. "These three Martial Skills may be powerful, but they are extremely difficult and already very close to Third Stage Martial Skills. I don't really recommend that you train in them."

"I know, but I'm confident!" Lin Mu said.

Noticing the look in Lin Mu's eyes, Wang Tao smiled faintly. "Alright!"

He waved one hand, and the information on the three Martial Skills surfaced. Three books appeared beside them.

"Then we'll train according to this plan! I'll take you to the Cultivation Room," Wang Tao said.

Lin Mu nodded.

Following Wang Tao, Lin Mu arrived at a room spanning more than forty square meters.

It was equipped with numerous weapons, and there was a display screen directly opposite them. The moment they entered, an intelligent butler appeared.

"You can adjust the gravity here to 0.5 times normal. All weapons are free. Whether you're dissatisfied with the temperature or need to purchase something, you can directly instruct the intelligent butler!" Wang Tao said.

Lin Mu nodded.

He knew very well that the Cultivation Room before him was far superior to his home by more than a little.

Training here would definitely let him achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"Then let's begin! I still have some time, so I can give you some pointers!" Wang Tao said.

Lin Mu was slightly stunned.

With the system, he had no need for anyone else's guidance.

But seeing the look in Wang Tao's eyes, he did not know how to refuse and could only nod slightly.

Dragon's Thousand-Mile Stride appeared before him. Lin Mu studied it seriously, and before long, he had finished the entire book.

"Observing the Dragon's Thousand-Mile Stride manual, obtained 179 times efficiency."

A great deal of information surfaced in Lin Mu's mind, and he gained a clear understanding of this Blade Technique.

Wang Tao stood to one side, thinking Lin Mu would have many things he did not understand.

After all, this Blade Technique was difficult. Martial artists of the same cultivation level would find it hard to comprehend easily.

But he had not expected Lin Mu to walk straight to the row of weapons, casually take down a long blade, move a little to loosen up, then head to one side.

"The blade turns into a spiritual wind, power gathers into a dragon..."

Lin Mu murmured softly.

The long blade in his hand danced, sending out burst after burst of air-splitting whistles.

Under Wang Tao's gaze, Lin Mu's Movement Technique shifted constantly. Faintly, there was even a trace of a roaming dragon's shadow.

Wang Tao's expression changed visibly. Though the Blade Technique Lin Mu displayed still contained many flaws and was rather unfamiliar, the entire sequence flowed like drifting clouds and running water.

There was not the slightest pause. This showed that he had indeed completely comprehended the Blade Technique.

"This kid!" Wang Tao felt a trace of shock in his heart.

He had trained in this Blade Technique before and knew how difficult it was.

Back then, it had taken him several days to fully comprehend it, and that was with the guidance of a famous teacher.

Lin Mu's rate of comprehension truly caught him by surprise.

In just over ten minutes, Lin Mu finished executing the Blade Technique.

He let out a light breath, and a system notification sounded in his mind.

"Completed Dragon's Thousand-Mile Stride training, obtained 116 times efficiency."

At once, a sharp gleam flashed in Lin Mu's eyes.

His understanding of Dragon's Thousand-Mile Stride rose to another level, and his Blood Qi also improved noticeably.

He exhaled lightly, breathing out a mouthful of turbid air. The long blade in his hand moved faintly, and a pale Dragon Shadow flickered in and out of sight.

Wang Tao, standing in the distance, underwent an obvious change in expression.

In only a moment, he could sense the difference in Lin Mu's aura.

Even the way he held his blade had changed noticeably.

"This is..." A trace of shock appeared in Wang Tao's eyes.

From Lin Mu's appearance, he could tell that this was a sign of having entered the beginner stage.

Whoosh!

Lin Mu's figure moved, and the long blade in his hand swung.

Almost in an instant, it erupted with astonishing force.

More importantly, as the blade swung, a flood dragon seemed to flicker in and out of sight behind Lin Mu.

Dragon's Thousand-Mile Stride had entered the beginner stage!

Seeing this, the shock in Wang Tao's eyes was exceptionally apparent.

He had known Lin Mu possessed talent in battle, but he had never expected him to possess such talent in training Martial Skills as well.

"I never thought I'd stumbled upon a treasure!" Wang Tao said.

He knew that based on Lin Mu's performance, he might even be able to apply for an A-grade contract.

But he was in no hurry.

After all, Lin Mu did not yet have much attachment to the Vast Martial Hall.

When the time was right, he would naturally win Lin Mu over.

Watching Lin Mu, who was still immersed in training, Wang Tao did not disturb him and turned to leave.

In his heart, Lin Mu had made an even deeper impression on him, and he gained a trace of anticipation for Lin Mu's future.

Lin Mu remained in the Cultivation Room training, and his understanding of Dragon's Thousand-Mile Stride continued to deepen.

About five hours later, Lin Mu walked out of the room utterly exhausted. During those five hours, he had trained Dragon's Thousand-Mile Stride to the beginner stage (23%).

If others learned of such results, they would definitely be utterly shocked.

This was a Martial Skill close to Third Stage.

Ordinary people would need at least two or three months to possibly reach such a level.

Yet Lin Mu had spent only five hours!!!

If Wang Tao learned of this, he would be battered beyond recognition as well, because he had spent a month and a half back then!!

P.S.: Please leave a good rating. Wishing all my brothers and sisters good health and that everything goes as they wish!
