Time slipped away during training, and Lin Mu spent the entire night cultivating.
By the time he opened his eyes, the sky had begun to brighten.
"Ah..."
Lin Mu stood and stretched hard. After a whole night of training, he felt not a trace of fatigue. Instead, he was brimming with energy.
That was probably because he had been practicing Senjutsu the whole time.
Its wondrous power invigorated his spirit, strengthened his body, and sharpened his mind.
After stretching, Lin Mu washed up and headed outside.
"I can take it easy for a bit during the day today..."
Lately, all he had done was train and fight, and the pressure had been weighing on him.
He had only just broken through, so there was no hurry. Another breakthrough would require further accumulation.
Rushing would do him no good!
As for completing missions, he would have to wait until evening.
At night, the woods teemed with wild beasts. It was the perfect time for jackals, wolves, tigers, leopards, and other predators to go hunting.
Of course, if Lin Mu entered the woods, those predators would become his prey.
Killing a batch of them at night could earn him a few hundred more gold coins.
Unfortunately, the forest held only so many wild beasts. Slaughtering too many and driving them to extinction would hardly be right.
"Tsk... what a pain!"
If there were an endless supply of wild beasts to kill, it would not take him long to save up ten thousand gold coins.
Lin Mu pondered this without slowing his steps, and soon arrived at the Ichiraku Ramen Shop.
"Hey, Lin Mu!"
The moment he sat down, someone hooked an arm around his neck from behind.
He did not need to look. The voice alone told him Naruto Uzumaki had arrived.
