Chapter 244: The Three Forms Of The Boulder Collapsing Fist (1/2)

”So what have you decided to name them?” Xukong asked, feeling curious.

”The form in which Vital energy is used will be, 'Boulder collapsing fist: First form- Impact.'

The form which uses spirit qi will be, 'Boulder collapsing fist: Second form- Piercer.'

And the final form which uses the combination of both will be, 'Boulder collapsing fist- Devastator.'

These are what I have decided upon.” Lin Mu answered.

After listening to Lin Mu's words, Xukong was satisfied and felt like the names were appropriate and could not really find any fault with them. In the end, they were but mere names and would not really affect the technique itself. Thus even if Lin Mu had named them something else, he would not have minded.

”They're good.” Xukong praised.

”I think so too, Senior.” Lin Mu replied, feeling proud of his naming sense.

Lin Mu then took another look around the area and he felt like he should leave now, lest someone else comes here and finds him. While it would not be a big problem for him, but it would still be too bothersome for him to give an explanation to others.

Having thought of this, he decided to leave.

”Hmm, the day should start getting longer now. We should have more daylight.” Lin Mu muttered to himself as he looked up at the sky that was relatively clear.

The winter was now at its end, and the snow had stopped as well. The only place that Lin Mu could currently see snow was far in the distance on the northern peaks and the depths of the forest. While it was still cold right now, it wasn't as chilly as before.

Soon the peasants would start farming and getting ready for spring. Though in the region among the four satellite towns of Wu Lim city, only the eastern town was specialized in farming and produced the majority of grains.

The southern town was mostly an army base, yet there were still some peasants that grew grain in small tracts of land. It wasn't much, but it was still enough to satisfy the town's needs. But in the case of the eastern town, they grew a much larger quantity. So much so that around ninety five percent of it was exported to the other towns and Wu Lim city, with a smaller part also going to other regions.

”I wonder if the hunters would be organizing the spring hunt this time.” Lin Mu muttered to himself while walking.

”Spring hunt?” Xukong questioned with an interested tone.

”Ah yes, senior. Before the farming can be started, the hunters organize a large hunt to cull the population of beasts that are leftover from winter. This allows the peasants to farm without worrying about random beast attacks and also allows the hunters to gain a reasonable amount of coin after the winter.” Lin Mu answered.

”That seems reasonable. But why the uncertainty?” Xukong asked.

”It's just that now that there are mercenaries hunting in the forest, I wonder if the hunters will even get an opportunity to hunt.” Lin Mu replied.
