Chapter 571: Breakthrough! (1/2)
While Lin Mu had spoken those words lightly, the Wild Man had still managed to hear them clearly. His ears perked up as he forced his body to move in response. But then he heard the pain filled grunt of Lin Mu.
”Huh? What's happening?” The wild man could not help but say.
He lifted his head and saw Lin Mu who had fallen on the ground. He seemed to be relatively uninjured except for his right hand, so he couldn't tell why Lin Mu was in pain.
'Was the last technique he used perhaps a sacrificial technique? Yes! That must be it! No other technique should be able to create that 'energy' otherwise.' The Wild man thought.
~Shua~
~Shatter~
But then a powerful aura flared from Lin Mu's body.
”WHAT!? HOW?” The wild man exclaimed.
A vortex of spirit Qi formed around Lin Mu as his body started to float in the air.
”He's having a breakthrough? But this is a Nascent Soul realm breakthrough? Why's there no heavenly tribulation?” The wild man said out loud, feeling utterly confused.
He observed Lin Mu for a bit more and saw the amount of spirit Qi in the air increasing more and more. Soon the spirit Qi had become condensed enough that a mist had spread around. The spirit Qi concentration in this minor plane was already five times more than the ripple mist sect's ambient spirit Qi, but now with the breakthrough as a trigger the amount only kept on increasing.
~Rumble~
The loud sound of heartbeats came from Lin Mu's body as they resonated with the spirit Qi in the air. With each beat, the spirit Qi would create a wave.
Wave by wave, beat by beat, Lin Mu's cultivation soared!
The brown armor on Lin Mu's body was instantly restored to the optimum condition before glowing even more. Lin Mu's Dantian was undergoing an even greater change. The shattered core had given birth to a tiny infant.
The infant was translucent and had features similar to that of Lin Mu. But there was a unique thing about him. There was a small silver ring with five spurs on its right hand's middle finger. It was the very same mysterious ring that Lin Mu wore!
~ROAR~
Suddenly the illusory figure of a large bear appeared in Lin Mu's Dantian. It had long claws that looked like daggers and had a unique triangular pattern on its chest. Its fur was brown while the patterns on it were black.
This was none other than the Great Slumber Bear!
The illusory figure of the Great Slumber Bear grew bigger and bigger, till it overlapped Lin Mu's body.
~ROAR~
The illusory figure of the Great Slumber Bear raised its head up to the sky and let out a roar, shaking the lands, and making every beast in the forest shiver. The wild man also saw the illusory figure of the Great Slumber bear and felt terror within his heart.
