Breakthrough in the Spiritual Arts
A large number of Mental Bodies died at Lin Mu's hands.
The Demon outside seemed to have suffered severe injuries, spitting out blood and displaying indescribable pain on their faces.
Cui Boxuan had an excited look on his face as he rushed forward with his Long Sword in hand.
Thousands of sword shadows erupted.
Sizzle!
A series of whooshing sounds rang out.
A agonizing scream escaped from the mouth of a Demon, its life force slowly fading away.
Lin Mu rushed out at this moment, wielding a long sword and charging towards the Demon.
He and Cui Boxuan worked together, and one Demon after another died at their hands.
The Examiners outside looked on in surprise when they saw this.
They not only solved the mystery, but also killed the Demon.
How should their scores be calculated?
"What kind of mess is this? They did both things, how are we supposed to score them?"
"Need I even consider it? Full marks!"
"Even a perfect score is too low! In previous years, there weren't enough talented people with brains, and there weren't enough talented people with brains. People who have both brains and talent should get extra points!"
"..."
The group discussed it, unsure of how to score it.
A slight smile played on Du Zian's lips. He had a premonition, and now things were indeed developing as he had predicted.
Many people turned to look at him, asking for his opinion.
Du Zian immediately said, "Ten points! His performance deserves this score!"
"What about the people who were with him?"
"I'd give it a 90," Du Zian said.
Several people looked thoughtful, exchanged glances, and nodded slightly.
After slaying the Demon before them, Lin Mu and Cui Boxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the Demon were severely injured, they were not so easy to deal with.
Fortunately, they were strong enough, otherwise they would have had to pay a price.
"I really don't know how difficult it will be for those who can't find the Demon' weaknesses to pass the level!" Cui Boxuan said.
Lin Mu shook his head slightly. "There are clues in the town, but we directly bypassed those clues!"
Cui Boxuan looked puzzled. "How come I didn't notice!"
"There are several lanterns at the city gate with a few lines of small characters on them: 'Mist is not mist, flower is not flower, person is not person...' This means that the Mental Bodies here are not real Undead. Once you understand this, you can find a way to kill the Mental Bodies and thus severely damage the Demon!" Lin Mu explained.
"I see. I knew this level would be incredibly difficult without any hints!" Cui Boxuan said.
Lin Mu shrugged and didn't say much; in fact, he wasn't very smart either.
It relies more on the system; otherwise, given the path he took, it's hard to imagine how long it would have taken to discover the clues.
"Let's go!" Lin Mu walked forward. "We'll be opponents in the next round!"
A fighting spirit flashed in Cui Boxuan's eyes. "I also want to see just how strong you really are!"
Lin Mu remained calm as he walked towards the city gate.
Passing through the city gate, they arrived at a jungle, where birds sang and flowers bloomed, and vegetation flourished. Deep within the jungle, the aura of Fierce Beast lingered.
In addition, in some places, there was a slightly unpleasant atmosphere.
Demon!
The third level also has Demon.
Lin Mu and Cui Boxuan looked around and spotted a Tree House with an old man sitting inside.
When he saw Lin Mu and Cui Boxuan, he looked somewhat surprised.
"Have you passed through the Death Gate?" the old man asked.
Lin Mu nodded slightly. "Yes!"
"So fast!" the old man couldn't help but ask.
"I'm lucky!" Lin Mu said with a smile.
"That's really impressive, but the other students haven't all arrived yet. Please sit down over there!" the old man said.
"Okay!" Lin Mu nodded and sat down on the wooden stool next to him.
Cui Boxuan sat to the side.
Lin Mu closed his eyes and reviewed the information in his mind.
He hadn't carefully studied what he had obtained in the Trial Tower before.
Looking at the things in his mind, Lin Mu entered a meditative state, and system notifications sounded one after another.
"Looking up information related to mental health once is 134 times more efficient."
"Looking up mental health-related knowledge once is 142 times more efficient."
"A single review of mental health-related knowledge yields 150 times the efficiency."
"..."
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
More and more people are coming here these days.
They all arrived at the door of the Tree House, waiting for the third level to begin.
Lin Mu slowly opened his eyes.
After digesting the information over this period, he has completely mastered the knowledge related to the spiritual realm.
It must be said that knowledge related to the spiritual realm is quite profound.
If he didn't have the system, he might not have been able to read through so much material even after several years.
"According to the information provided by Teacher Lan, mental enhancement is quite complex. It not only requires practicing techniques but also receiving certain stimulation. No wonder my Mental Power increased after I was Mental Attack!"
"Furthermore, the spiritual system is more complex than that of martial arts cultivation. Although it is also divided according to strength, each breakthrough is more difficult. Some martial artists can never reach the Second Order in their entire lives!"
Lin Mu thought to himself.
He knew very well that the spiritual cultivation system was similar to martial arts cultivation in many ways.
However, this kind of cultivation is much more difficult than martial arts cultivation.
It will be very difficult to make a breakthrough.
"With my current mental strength, it would take at least half a year to reach the Second Order. But to break through to the Second Order, I must rebuild from scratch!"
Lin Mu's eyes narrowed slightly.
He knew very well that a qualitative change would occur when Mental Strength reached a certain level.
To break through to the Second Order, such a qualitative change requires enduring immense suffering.
The information provided by Lan Xuanxin was quite detailed, including a description of how to break through to the Second Order.
Lin Mu let out a soft breath; he knew very well the importance of Mental Power.
The higher one's cultivation level, the greater the help that Mental Power will provide.
"I still need to work harder!" Lin Mu thought to himself.
His current strength may be decent among his peers, but the world is vast and there are many strong individuals.
Some powerful Spirit Sorcerer can kill him in an instant.
Even if the school wanted to investigate, it couldn't.
Living in this world and possessing such a system, Lin Mu naturally did not want to die young.
I just hope he can become stronger and live longer.
Just as he made up his mind, an old voice rang out.
"All students have arrived. Next, we will proceed to the third challenge. The rules of the third challenge are relatively simple: search for Immortal Stones in the jungle. During this process, you can freely fight each other, but once you are on the Immortal Ladder, you cannot fight."
I hope you achieve great results!
Many of the people present had a hint of anticipation in their eyes.
Lin Mu also stood up at this moment, while Bai Mo and the others stood not far away.
"You've all cleared the game!" Lin Mu said with a smile.
"Although there were some difficulties, it went relatively smoothly!" Bai Mo said.
Qian Mu stood aside with a hint of helplessness on his face. He was the one who had the hardest time and almost failed. Fortunately, he had a lot of treasures and, after finding some clues, he successfully passed the level.
