Chapter 556: Practice And Adapting (1/2)

”He should wake up soon now, right?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Hmm… seems like it. Though with the changes that happen we can't be fully sure.” Xukong replied.

~Sigh~

”I guess we just wait and watch.” Lin Mu said before cultivating.

He had to replenish the spirit Qi he used up and also sleep for a bit as he needed to practice in the Sleepscape as well. After a few hours, he had fully replenished his spirit Qi and Lin Mu appeared in the Sleepscape.

There he saw the spirit apple tree, which was covered with twenty spirit apples.

”Huh, the number of them growing at once increased again…” Lin Mu said upon seeing the tree.

He thus went to the tree and plucked the spirit apples before storing them in the ring. Lin Mu himself had little use for the spirit apples, as his recovery was much faster than eating one of them.

Even now he did not understand why there was this tree growing in the Sleepscape. Still, he didn't mind it as he could sell its fruits for money when he needed it and it gave a pleasant look to the otherwise plain Sleepscape as well.

Lin Mu then took out the new spirit weapons he had gotten from the Tri Cauldron Peony sect and started to practice the Thousand Armament Blade Scripture with them. Over time, Lin Mu had already completed the routines of each weapon that was described in the scripture.

The next step for him was to now assimilate them into his swordsmanship. The use of the Thousand Armament blade scripture was that so the person learning it would know multiple weapons described in it, and would be able to apply their essence into the swordplay.

It was a complex technique that even Xukong was a bit impressed by. Lin Mu had been practicing this manual ever since he got it and still was at its second step.

~shua~

~zing~

~Huala~

Swords, spears, axes, halberds, sabers flew as Lin Mu practiced the manual. He could now sense the places where he was lacking in and understood where he needed to improve. Rapidly switching between the weapons, Lin Mu let his body flow like water.

He no longer thought and only let his body do the work. The moves were ingrained into his muscles and needed little to be executed. He was deep in focus and had let go of everything else in his mind.

Lin Mu spent the rest of the night in this and only stopped when he felt like it was morning.

~Humm~

The spirit weapons hummed as Lin Mu slashed out one last time, this time creating a faint outline in the air that traveled for a meter before disappearing. The most surprising thing was the fact that no spirit of Qi had been used in this.

Yet if someone were to come in front of that outline, they would undoubtedly be chopped into two.

~huu~

Lin Mu let out a breath as sheathed the weapons before storing them all in the ring.
