Chapter 624: Speed (1/2)

There were simply too many things for Lin Mu to do and he felt a bit overwhelmed. But eventually, he decided that since he had started with the formation creation first, he would stick with them. All the other occupations needed formations in some way or the other anyway and thus it would be helpful to him later.

~shua~shua~shua~

Little Shrubby's speed kept on increasing, and Lin Mu realized they were now faster than ever before. If it were not for his enhanced vision due to a higher cultivation, he would not have even been able to see things going by, as it would have all just been a blur.

”And the speed is still increasing…” Lin Mu muttered.

With every little step, Little Shrubby accelerated even more. Looking at the area, Lin Mu was sure they had already left the territory of the Ripple mist sect by now. Even though Little Shrubby had only been running for about five minutes now, they had quite likely went past at least a hundred kilometers.

Lin Mu looked back and could not see any signs of the Dao Shell realm cultivator at all.

”Seems like we left him far behind,” Lin Mu said.

”With the speed you two are going, it would have been a joke if he was able to catch up.” Xukong said. ”Do you even know the speed at which you are traveling?” he asked.

”No… I can't really estimate it…” Lin Mu said.

”You two are traveling at nearly the same speed as sound.” Xukong replied.

”The speed of sound?” Lin Mu repeated.

”If you go any faster your voice would be left behind if you talk.” Xukong explained shortly. ”Try it, try speaking.”

”Ok-ay..?! wh-at?” Lin Mu spoke in a shocked tone.

To him, it felt like his voice was lagging behind him. And then it happened.

~BOOM!!!~

Lin Mu felt a shock wave emitting from around them as Little Shrubby's speed increased once more.

”Now you're moving faster than sound. That was a sonic boom. It happens when you break the sound barrier.” Xukong explained.

Lin Mu and Xukong were talking using their connection and thus didn't actually need to speak verbally. All they needed to do was thinking and their thoughts would be transmitted to each other. Though Xukong had said to Lin Mu that it wasn't exactly that, as that thing would be called telepathy instead.

What actually happened was that both Lin Mu and Xukong's thoughts came to a common place that was made from a fragment of both their minds. In this 'shared space' their thoughts would appear and interact.
