Chapter 882 Late stage of integration
Lin Mu looked pale and stood on the battle stage, his figure shaky and almost paralyzed.
He was really exhausted!
When he first came on stage, he really wanted to hide his strength, and he did not use all his strength in all his attacks.
But as time went by, Ye Peng gradually took the initiative.
Once you have an initial advantage, it will take more effort to reverse it, which is very difficult.
He was suppressed by Ye Peng for a long time, and the spiritual power in his body was extremely intense.
By the end, he felt that Ye Peng was getting more and more powerful as he fought, and it was almost beyond his control.
At this time, there was not much spiritual power left in his body.
If I continue to act, I'm afraid I'll overdo it and I'll probably lose.
He immediately stopped suppressing himself, pushed the sword field to the extreme, and began to explode.
His outburst was so sudden that Ye Peng was completely caught off guard.
Under his full strength, Ye Peng was defeated step by step.
However, due to lack of spiritual power, his attack power was also greatly reduced. He did not gain an overwhelming advantage with just one or two swords, but spent a lot of effort to regain control.
When Ye Peng was forced to the edge of the opposite platform, he finally burst out with all his strength and blasted Ye Peng to the ancient ban with one sword. He had exhausted all the spiritual power in his body.
Fortunately, he broke out in time. If he had played for a while longer, the result would have been hard to say.
There is no room for carelessness when fighting between masters, and he almost stopped in the second round.
His body was swaying, almost falling to the ground.
Lin Mu patted his storage bag, quickly took out a precious elixir that quickly restored his spiritual power and took it. He silently ran the "Five Elements Mind Method" and began to absorb the effects of the refining elixir.
With a flash of sword light, Gu Zhenhao flew onto the stage and took Lin Mu off the stage.
"Why did you have such a difficult fight this time?" Gu Zhenhao couldn't help but asked when he saw Lin Mu sweating on his forehead and his face was as pale as paper.
Just now, he was watching from the audience across the ancient ban, thinking that Lin Mu was deliberately hiding his strength. Now it seems that he won at the last moment only when he was beaten to the point of collapse. He must have used all his strength, and also... There is an element of luck in it. If it breaks out later, you will probably lose.
"I originally wanted to hide my strength, but I didn't expect Ye Peng to be so strong, so I ended up overplaying it." Lin Mu said weakly, "If I had gone all out from the beginning, winning wouldn't have been so difficult."
"Then you are still hiding your strength?" Gu Zhenhao asked confused, "Is the current situation created by you deliberately to confuse other opponents?"
"Now my wish has come true." Lin Mu said with a bitter smile, "I really wanted to confuse them, but now it has come true. I am so weak that I can't even stand still."
Gu Zhenhao led Lin Mufei off the stage, and the onlookers started talking again.
"Lin Mu was helped off the stage!"
"This fight was really intense!"
“Twists and turns, it’s really exciting!”
"Fortunately, I won!"
"Returning to the Void Stage has entered the third round, and Lin Mu is definitely the number one in the entire Splendid World!"
"The miracles continue!"
Many people were full of admiration and respect for Lin Mu.
No one thought that cultivators in the Return to Void Stage could be so powerful.
On the stage of the mineral vein competition competition where cultivators in the integration stage were rampant, the cultivators in the return to void stage shined brightly and outshone everyone else.
Every victory is surprising and exciting.
Everyone wanted to see how far Lin Mu could go.
What miracles can be created!
Such a peerless genius, even in a large world like the Splendid World, is rare to come across in ten thousand years.
Many people feel very honored to witness the rise of a peerless genius.
Especially the large number of cultivators in the Void Return stage, because of Lin Mu's rise, they all have a sense of confidence and pride in their hearts.
For practitioners in the integration stage, my heart is no longer as fearful as before.
Lin Mu's every move told them that cultivation level did not determine everything.
Once you have the courage and confidence to move forward, your horizons will undoubtedly be much broader. It will be of great benefit to improve your cultivation and break through bottlenecks.
"I don't think he is hiding his strength at all." Liao Shu looked at the extremely weak Lin Mu and shook his head.
"Did I guess wrong?" The cultivator in blue also became dubious.
If Lin Mu was acting deliberately, he would definitely be able to tell.
But now Lin Mu was indeed exhausted, struggling to the point where he could no longer stand still.
No matter how strong he is, he will never let himself fight to the end.
Because you don’t know whether your opponent has hidden cards, once you reveal everything, you will easily be overturned by your opponent.
Lin Mu fought to such an extent. If he did it on purpose, the possibility is too low. Even late-stage practitioners of integration would not dare to make such a big deal.
However, he still felt a little unconvinced.
Could it be that Lin Mu's true strength is really limited to this?
Slightly better than Ye Peng?
If that's the case, then there's nothing to worry about.
Lin Mu's strongest point is the sword domain, and the sword domain is even more difficult to improve than his cultivation level.
There are so many Fusion Stage cultivators in the Splendid World, but not many of them have truly understood the Sword Domain.
Many mid-stage fusion cultivators have just touched the threshold of the Sword Domain, and many late-stage fusion cultivators have only just comprehended the Sword Domain.
For a peerless genius like Lin Mu, the thunder tribulation must be extremely powerful. In addition, he still has a long lifespan. He will never overcome the tribulation easily.
A hundred years later, if Lin Mu's cultivation is still in the stage of returning to the void, there will be little progress in the sword field, and his strength will be similar to what it is now. Even if there is a slight improvement, it will only be about the same as a real middle-stage integration cultivator.
In this case, there is no threat to yourself.
As for two hundred years from now, there is no need to think that far ahead for the time being.
After two hundred years, there may be new peerless geniuses emerging, so why think too far ahead.
At least within the next two hundred years, Lin Mu will have no influence on him, but if he encounters him, he will be unlucky.
If Liao Shu couldn't help but take action and kill Lin Mu, then there would be no need to worry anymore and it would be over once and for all.
"I have to say that he is really lucky. He was so lucky to win twice in a row." Liao Shu said, "If he is very lucky later, all the opponents he encounters will be similar to Ye Peng and Yulin. He will enter the fifth round. It’s all very promising.”
"In the fifth round, he becomes the top thirty-two?" The cultivator in blue asked, "If he also wins the fifth round, wouldn't he enter the top sixteen and be able to participate in the wheel battle?"
"How is this possible?" Liao Shu said with a smile, "I just said casually, how could he be so lucky?"
"That's true." The cultivator in blue said with a smile, "Maybe he will meet you in the next round."
"Then his luck has been exhausted, and this mine conference is over." Liao Shu said with a smile, "Seeing him being so pushy, I really want to meet him, but I have never I fought against a peerless genius!"
"You have to be merciful then." The cultivator in blue said with a smile on his face, "If you attack with all your strength and beat him to pieces, those cultivators in the Void Return Stage will definitely hate you and scold you for bullying the small ones. , I am old and disrespectful, and I am narrow-minded and cannot see the glory of those who are cultivating in the return stage.”
"This is really a problem. I have to think about it carefully. If I really encounter Lin Mu, should I pretend to try my best to be slightly better than him, or should I crush him easily." Liao Shu showed a thoughtful expression. , "I can't ruin my reputation in life because of him."
Amidst the discussion of thousands of cultivators, Gu Zhenhao left with Lin Mu.
"You are secretly learning from me." On the way back to Yuelai Inn, Gu Zhenhao couldn't help but tease Lin Mu, "It's just that I didn't learn the essence of it, and I almost got myself involved in it. All my previous efforts were wasted, and I will regret it for a hundred years."
"I'm still too innocent and kind." Lin Mu said with a smile, "Especially compared to an old cunning guy like you who has experienced many battles, I am even more pure and innocent to the extreme."
"Don't make fun of me and praise yourself at the same time." Gu Zhenhao said with a smile, "Although the process was thrilling, I am very satisfied with the result of today's second round of competition. Both of us successfully entered the first round." Three rounds!”
Even if you lose in the third round, you can still get at least two veins.
There is no regression compared to a hundred years ago.
Lin Mu, on the other hand, was like a white wolf with nothing. He went from having nothing to owning two veins of minerals. In three or four days, he harvested tens of billions of spiritual stones!
Looking at Lin Mu, as long as his luck is not too bad, he has great hope of entering the fourth round.
Hope is much greater than him.
"Work hard to improve your strength and strive for the third round. We can still advance together!" Lin Mu said with a smile.
Back at Yuelai Inn, Lin Mu said hello to Gu Zhenhao, plunged into his quiet room, sat cross-legged, meditated, took a few rare elixirs, and began to restore his cultivation.
The third round of competition will begin in five days.
In these five days, he must work hard to restore his cultivation, restore his vitality, and most importantly, work hard to improve his spiritual consciousness.
There is only one bottleneck left between the cultivation of his spiritual consciousness and the late stage of integration. In these five days, if he does not skimp on his spiritual consciousness resources and ignores any impact, he can hope to break through this bottleneck with brute force and successfully enter the late stage of integration!
The improvement of spiritual consciousness is inherently slow. If you slowly realize the breakthrough, you don't know how long it will take. Since you have a massive amount of spiritual consciousness, it is better to use brute force to break through, which is simple and fast.
As long as his spiritual consciousness cultivation can be promoted to the late stage of integration, his sword domain power can also be improved a lot. By activating the Suixin Sword and various magic weapons, the power will naturally increase.
The thirty million spiritual stones were indeed well spent. The spiritual energy in the quiet room was extremely rich. In less than a day, Lin Mu's cultivation was completely restored.
With a thought in his mind, he entered the ethereal fairyland, condensed two earth-level divine concentration beads, and began to activate the "Star God Refining Technique" to absorb and refine it.
In this ethereal fairyland, there is no need to worry about the dissipation of the essence of spiritual consciousness. Lin Mu is very unscrupulous and attacks with all his strength.
He was attacking at the speed of almost one earth-grade concentration bead a day.
The last bottleneck, under his desperate attack, became weaker little by little. On the fourth day, he successfully broke through it!
On the fifth day, his spiritual consciousness cultivation level was the same as his physical body.
Successfully entered the late stage of integration!
