Comprehending a Secret Art
When the Examiners outside the room saw what Lin Mu had done, their eyes showed shock.
They all knew very well how much influence the memories of Walking Corpses had on martial artists.
Normally, a martial artist would realize this after killing a Walking Corpses and would try to avoid killing Walking Corpses when climbing the ladder.
After all, in this kind of environment, it's better to be entangled than to be influenced by emotions.
Moreover, some martial artists possess astonishing defensive capabilities, completely capable of withstanding attacks from Walking Corpses.
"Has he gone mad? After killing so many Walking Corpses, doesn't he know how terrifying those memories are?"
"This is dangerous. He might have an emotional breakdown because he can't handle these memories!"
"Damn it! What is he doing?"
"..."
There was a hint of worry in Du Zian's eyes.
He was well aware of the impact of the Walking Corpses.
Let alone Lin Mu being only Second-Order Martial Artist, even Third-Order Martial Artist would suffer great damage from such a large emotional fluctuation.
But he was also a little curious whether Lin Mu had any way to deal with these memories.
Because in his memory, Lin Mu was not a reckless person.
Lin Mu was unaware of the great attention he was receiving. He walked upwards, slaying one Walking Corpses after another.
Memories flooded his mind.
Having undergone hundreds of trials, his mind has matured considerably compared to before.
Lin Mu remained extremely calm when faced with these memories.
Although each experience was a brush with death, it was ultimately an illusion, not a real event.
Moreover, Lin Mu discovered that people's hearts can indeed become numb.
When you see the same thing too many times, the feeling isn't as strong anymore.
Moreover, he seemed to be able to detach himself from the situation and observe these things from a completely new perspective.
Lin Mu was somewhat surprised.
Because these memories flooded directly into his mind.
Logically, he would become so immersed in the role that he would find it difficult to extricate himself.
But once he could look at these things from an outsider's perspective, his whole being seemed to change.
A set of information quietly appeared on his system interface.
"His Observer's Sight (Secret Art): The ability to see everything from an outsider's perspective and make rational judgments."
Lin Mu naturally sensed it and stared at the system interface.
He was somewhat moved.
He actually figured out the Secret Art.
This Secret Art doesn't seem very powerful, but Lin Mu knows very well that once a person can detach from their physical body and view things from a third-party perspective...
Then many things are not really problems.
For example, Lin Mu was trapped in an illusion, where everything was so lifelike that he couldn't extricate himself.
However, if he uses this Secret Art, he will view the matter from the perspective of a third party.
He will be able to spot the clues, realize that he is in an illusion, and discover the illogical aspects of the illusion.
It is an extremely powerful Secret Art.
After all, those involved are often blinded by their own perspective!
No matter what level of martial artist they are, they will fall into this kind of blind spot in their thinking.
"It's not just an illusion, it's also cultivation!" Lin Mu took a deep breath; he never expected to comprehend such Secret Art.
The figure walked forward, and more and more Walking Corpses were killed by him.
The memories flooding into his mind gradually increased, but they did not have any effect on him.
His figure also separated from the people behind him.
The Examiners outside were horrified when they saw this.
They had never seen anyone so calm under the Walking Corpses' memories, as if nothing had happened.
"Is this guy's Mental Strength higher than we expected?"
"That's impossible. His Mental Strength definitely hasn't reached the Second Order, because there's no Mental Crystal in his mind. This guy must have some other methods!"
"I remember there's a Secret Art that can only be mastered after experiencing something like what's happening now!"
"Observer's Sight? How is that possible? This kind of Secret Art is extremely difficult to comprehend. Unless one experiences hundreds of life-and-death separations and their own consciousness is trained to be extremely strong, it is impossible to comprehend it!"
"Yeah! How many Walking Corpses did he kill?"
"..."
Many people were discussing it, simply unable to understand how Lin Mu had managed to do it.
Only Du Zian narrowed his eyes slightly, a faint smile in his eyes.
He was a master of Formation and an expert in mental techniques, so he could naturally see Lin Mu's condition.
Lin Mu has definitely grasped his Observer's Sight.
He realized this the first time he killed Walking Corpses.
"I never imagined there was such a genius!" Du Zian.
As he finished speaking, some quick-witted people realized something.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Lin Mu was now tinged with horror.
What a genius it must be to comprehend such Secret Art in such a short time.
Those students following behind Lin Mu also somewhat incredulous when they saw his back.
Why wasn't this person affected?
You have to understand, they were facing a very difficult situation.
Can the gap between them really be this large?
Cui Boxuan stared at Lin Mu's back, deeply shocked.
He didn't understand why the gap between him and Lin Mu would widen even further on this Immortal Ladder.
"This is impossible. These Walking Corpses are so difficult to deal with, how did he manage to do it?" Cui Boxuan thought to himself.
Lu Zhipeng and Wen Jinwen shared the same idea.
They were all exceptionally talented and had outstanding backgrounds, yet there was such a huge gap between them and Lin Mu.
They could hardly believe it was true.
"Just who is this guy?" Lu Zhipeng murmured.
"It seems we're going to embarrass ourselves this time!" Wen Jinwen said with a slight smile.
"In previous years, River City was always the Martial Arts Exam Top Scorer. I wonder how those geniuses from River City will feel if they lose their title this year!" Lu Zhipeng shook his head slightly.
A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime!
If Lin Mu had a powerful background, things would be better.
But what if you don't have a background?
Having made such a big splash, it's likely to cause quite a stir.
Lin Mu had no idea what they were thinking; he just kept walking upwards.
The higher you go, the stronger the Walking Corpses become.
The impact of memories is also stronger.
Under these circumstances, Lin Mu constantly honed his spirit and improved his Observer's Sight abilities.
The system notifications kept ringing out.
For a moment, he seemed to enter a state of Mind Flow State once again.
In fact, Lin Mu didn't realize it either.
While the system continuously provides amplification effects, it also brings Lin Mu some other benefits.
Take Mind Flow State, for example.
When a person focuses on one thing, thousands of times, they will eventually enter Mind Flow State at some point.
The same applies to the boosts provided by the system, which can enhance the effect of a single instance thousands of times, including the probability of entering Mind Flow State.
Therefore, Lin Mu would naturally find it easier to enter this state.
