Blade Technique Insights
The terrifying slash seemed to tear through space, breaking through the middle-aged man's attack at an extremely tricky angle and landing heavily on him.
The middle-aged man retreated step by step, spitting out blood. He had a very deep wound on his body.
He looked at Lin Mu with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Good!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body slowly dissipated, turning into a cloud of blood mist, and a surge of Mental Power flew towards Lin Mu.
Lin Mu neither dodged nor evaded. As his Mental Power landed on him, memories began to surface.
Lin Mu's pupils contracted slightly.
Having been tempered by so many Walking Corpses, his emotions had reached an extremely solid level.
Moreover, he possesses the ability to Observer's Sight, which greatly protects him from such memory fluctuations.
What surprised him was the middle-aged man's past.
He was originally a guard in a town, and he killed many Fierce Beasts and Demon.
He was injured in a major battle and was also cursed by Demon, without even realizing it.
And so I went home.
His wife and daughters were infected by a curse and became executioners, ruthlessly killing him at night.
He could never forget the scene of his wife and daughter tearfully stabbing him with a knife until his death.
He also clearly remembered the despair his wife and daughter felt when they realized he was about to die after they stabbed him.
Furthermore, he witnessed his wife and daughter commit suicide out of guilt.
Those scenes brought him immense pain.
Lin Mu took a deep breath.
In this chaotic world, such things seem to happen all the time.
So-called peace and tranquility is nothing more than someone bearing the burden.
"Besides these, there's also Blade Technique!" Lin Mu's eyes narrowed slightly.
He discovered that middle-aged people have more complete memories, and many of his insights into cultivation are found within them.
Lin Mu originally planned to absorb these memories before passing through the final layer.
But he knew that such a complete memory was extremely important.
Moreover, once he completes the game, the memories in his mind will disappear.
Thinking of this, Lin Mu sat cross-legged and carefully pondered the memories in his mind.
System notifications sounded at that moment.
"Complete a single observation and comprehension session of Blade Technique, achieving 311 times the efficiency."
"Complete a single observation and comprehension session of Blade Technique, achieving 114 times the efficiency."
"Complete a single observation and comprehension session of Blade Technique, achieving 531 times the efficiency."
"..."
Meanwhile, on the other side, many Examiners were also paying attention to Lin Mu.
When they saw Lin Mu sitting cross-legged, comprehending the Blade Technique, they all looked somewhat surprised.
"Although the final level of the Immortal Ladder will assign a corresponding opponent to the challenger, and you will gain complete insights after defeating them, these insights will disappear once you pass the final level. How can he digest so many insights in such a short time?"
"It's very difficult! Although these memories have appeared in his mind, they are, after all, the insights of others over several decades. It's impossible to fully digest them in a short period of time!"
"However, these insights are invaluable. If the Immortal Ladder didn't possess special properties, it would be impossible to so directly transfer these insights and memories into a martial artist's mind!"
"Let's see how much he can comprehend!"
"..."
These people were talking about it.
They all knew that Lin Mu had completed the challenge of the Immortal Ladder.
Although staying there to comprehend these memories would affect his completion time.
But he was already moving very fast.
Slow down, and you'll still be number one.
Du Zian and Lei Yong watched quietly, anticipating Lin Mu's performance.
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Cui Boxuan, Lu Zhipeng, and others arrived one after another.
Their faces were covered in grime, and they had many wounds on their bodies.
This Immortal Ladder is incredibly magical; it assigns a fixed number of Walking Corpses to each person.
Even if Lin Mu clears out the Walking Corpses, the Walking Corpses that belong to them will still appear.
They all come from large families, have some traditions, and can rely on certain methods to cope.
But I still get hurt, and I'm still affected by those memories.
When they saw Lin Mu sitting on the last floor, their expressions were somewhat complicated.
Compared to Lin Mu, their achievements are simply insignificant.
"Even Cui Boxuan is only a few levels below us, but he is dozens of levels below us. The difference between people is so great!" Lu Zhipeng said with some resentment.
"In our family, only Wen Yun could do that, but he was Recommended Student to Sacred Origin Martial School and is now a student in the Divine Martial Class. I never thought that such a person would emerge in this year's Martial Arts Exam!" Wen Jinwen took a deep breath, feeling a sense of powerlessness.
Cui Boxuan, who was walking ahead, felt increasingly resentful.
He vaguely remembered what he said when he stepped onto the Immortal Ladder to immortality.
He desperately wanted to outdo Lin Mu on the Immortal Ladder.
But the result was that he was crushed.
"It's alright, it's just Immortal Ladder to immortality. Once I enter the academy, I'll still have a chance to surpass him!" Cui Boxuan thought to himself.
The figure walked slowly forward.
The further he went, the slower he became.
After an unknown amount of time, Cui Boxuan was only a few meters away from Lin Mu.
Lin Mu opened his eyes at that moment.
After spending so much time, he finally finished processing the insights in his mind, and an excited look appeared on his face.
During this period, he not only improved his Blade Technique and Movement Technique, but also mastered a Third Stage Blade Technique.
Blood Tiger Three Slashes!
A Martial Skill that condenses one's own Blood Qi to unleash terrifying slashes in an instant.
Among the Tier 3 Martial Skill, it ranks within the top thirty.
Lin Mu held the knife in one hand, and a strong Blood Qi emanated from his body.
With a flourish of his longsword, a ferocious tiger formed from Blood Qi and qi appeared.
Laugh!
As the long sword fell, the tiger pounced forward with terrifying force, unleashing a surge of violent power.
In an instant, the corpses in front of Lin Mu turned into dust, and a large amount of blood mist drifted in the wind.
Because he inherited the insights of middle-aged people, his Blade Technique directly reached its peak (20%).
It is equivalent to decades of arduous training for a martial artist.
"That's great!" Lin Mu's face showed excitement as he looked at the system interface.
A series of messages then emerged.
