Holding an Immortal Stone
"Defend against a Mental Attack and gain 152 times the efficiency."
"Defend against a Mental Attack and gain 111 times the efficiency."
"Defend against a Mental Attack and gain 142 times the efficiency."
"..."
Hearing the system voice in his mind, Lin Mu smiled slightly.
The Mental Attack from the Immortal Stones should reach around 3.0, which wouldn't have much impact on Lin Mu.
However, being attacked for a long time can cause some stinging.
"The immortal Immortal Stones was designed like this, the difficulty of the Martial Arts Exam is indeed not low!"
Lin Mu reached out and took the Immortal Stones in his hand.
The surface of the Immortal Stones shimmers with light, giving it a very mysterious feel.
Just then, streams of Mental Power appeared on Lin Mu's hands, invading the Immortal Stones.
The once perfectly calm Immortal Stones suddenly appeared as if it had seen a ghost, revealing a human face.
"How do you possess such strong Mental Power!"
Lin Mu smiled slightly, "If I didn't have this much ability, how would I dare to come and take you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, streams of Mental Power surged into the Immortal Stones.
A look of fear crossed Immortal Stones's face. "Wait, I can be of use to you, and didn't you want to ascend the Immortal Ladder?"
"But you're so cunning, how can I trust you?" Lin Mu asked.
A thoughtful expression crossed Immortal Stones's face, and cracks appeared on the stone's surface. "Pour your Mental Power into this place."
Lin Mu infused a trace of Mental Power into it, and for a moment he seemed to have a stronger connection with the Immortal Stones.
"Is this your central hub?" Lin Mu asked.
"That's right, as long as you don't kill me, I can cooperate with you! I'm here for the assessment, there's no need for me to lose my life!" Immortal Stones said.
Lin Mu nodded slightly and enveloped the Immortal Stones with his Mental Power.
He would act immediately if there was anything unusual about the Immortal Stones.
The Immortal Stones had a pained expression on its face. It felt as if a knife was held to its neck, and it would die at Lin Mu's hands if it was not careful.
Many of the Examiners outside looked surprised when they saw this scene.
They had seen Lin Mu's performance firsthand.
It was also noticed that Lin Mu had been observing the Immortal Stones during this period.
They just didn't expect Lin Mu to succeed so easily.
"It seems he has discovered the pattern of the Immortal Stones!"
"His observation skills are amazing! He was able to figure out the Immortal Stones in such a short time!"
"It's not that they have strong observation skills, it's that they are cautious. Such people can live a long time even if they encounter Demon in the future."
"..."
The group discussed and began to grade Lin Mu on the paper.
Du Zian had a slight smile on his face, very satisfied with Lin Mu's performance.
"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we should be assembling soon!" Lei Yong said at this moment.
Many people present nodded slightly.
The third challenge is to find the strongest one, which is somewhat similar to raising a venomous insect.
As you progress, the map will become smaller and smaller, and everyone will gather together.
Those who did not obtain the Immortal Stones will inevitably fight frantically in the final moments.
About two hours later, the vast jungle began to change, with many roads converging in one direction.
Those who remained in the jungle were completely unaware as they walked forward, but unknowingly, more and more people gathered together.
Lin Mu soon saw dozens of figures.
Among those figures, some held Immortal Stones in their hands, but the Immortal Stones were placed in containers, so they could not affect them.
"Lu Tingchun, with your meager strength, you shouldn't even bother climbing the Immortal Ladder, lest you bring shame upon your Lu Family!"
"Indeed, you cannot control this Immortal Stones!"
"Hand over the items!"
"..."
Many people rebuked him.
The boy who was surrounded had a fierce look in his eyes.
"This Immortal Stones is strange. I subdued it using a container, so it is mine. If you want to take it, try and kill me!"
"You're courting death!" someone said, as he approached Lu Tingchun with Chains in his hand. Instantly, the Chains split into hundreds, completely sealing Lu Tingchun.
The others, all armed, attacked Lu Tingchun from different directions.
Sizzle!
The sound of something cutting through the air kept ringing out.
Lu Tingchun also had some skill, but before he could last more than a few moves, he was struck by someone, spitting out blood. His eyes were full of resentment, but all he could see was his possession being snatched away.
The person who received the Immortal Stones looked excited and turned to run away.
"Chase!"
"Grab him!"
The others immediately spoke up.
Meanwhile, amidst the chaotic battle, some eyes fell on Lin Mu.
Lin Mu held the Immortal Stones in one hand and stood in the forest as if nothing had happened.
Many people looked surprised.
"What happened? He's actually alright?"
"That's not right! Besides Mental Attack, Immortal Stones can also explode. Without a container, it's easy to get hit!"
"That's right, this Immortal Stones is too strange. Several of my brothers were injured."
"This guy definitely has some tricks up his sleeve, let's take him down!"
"..."
A look of greed appeared in the eyes of some people.
Several figures rushed towards Lin Mu.
They held weapons in their hands, their eyes filled with ferocity.
"Kid, although I don't know how you got your hands on the Immortal Stones, this is not something you can control! Hand it over honestly, and you'll suffer less!"
A burly man approached Lin Mu and swung his axe at him.
The axe carried extremely powerful strength, clearly indicating the strength of a first-order perfect master.
Faced with such an attack, Lin Mu remained extremely calm, letting the axe fall on his neck.
As everyone expected, the head flew off and blood splattered, but that didn't happen.
Instead, Lin Mu stood still.
The burly man who attacked him spun around in place, almost throwing his axe away.
There was a look of horror in his eyes.
Because he knew very well that the axe had pierced through Lin Mu's body.
Clearly, Lin Mu has reached the Qi Transformation Realm.
Second Order! Martial Artist!
The young man in front of them was actually Second-Order Martial Artist.
A part of the body can be transformed into Source Qi.
He swallowed hard, cold sweat pouring down his face.
Even if he is at the peak of the first level, what is he compared to Second-Order Martial Artist?
Bang!
A dull thud was heard.
Lin Mu kicked him.
He was sent flying, spitting out blood and leaving a trail more than ten meters long on the ground before losing consciousness on the spot.
Those martial artists who were originally planning to make a move all had expressions of fear on their faces.
There is a huge gap between Second-Order Martial Artist and First-Order Martial Artist.
A martial artist who reaches this Realm can take on dozens of First-Order Martial Artist single-handedly.
Even if all of them went together, they wouldn't be enough to warm up the other side.
Without the slightest hesitation, they turned and fled to find other Immortal Stones.
There are over a hundred Immortal Stones in total. Basically, anyone with Second Order strength can obtain one, provided they have a way to deal with the strangeness of the Immortal Stones.
With Lin Mu's strength, virtually no one would be able to take the Immortal Stones from him.
Lin Mu remained calm and walked slowly forward.
As more people gathered around, the struggle intensified, and several familiar figures came into view...
