Chapter 431 - The Fifth Skill
Lin Mu felt surprised at this and wondered if he could do the same. If he could, then his power would skyrocket again.
Lin Mu closed his eyes and willed for a Nascent soul to be born.
...
....
.....
~Sigh~
"I knew it was too much to wish for something this big." Lin Mu said after seeing no results.
"Do not worry, you will just need more time. You are bound to reach the Nascent Soul realm, eventually." Xukong assured.
Lin Mu nodded his head and checked for any other changes that he may have had. It was now that he remembered something.
"Wait, every time I progressed my cultivation base the ring gave me a new skill. Why hasn’t it done yet?" Lin Mu wondered.
"Well, you’ve been dormant for a long time so that could be the reason behind it." Xukong guessed,
"I’ll try to see if I can get it to activate..." Lin Mu said.
He focused on the ring and suddenly disappeared from the cave. He appeared inside the ring and saw the Silvery Grey streaks of spatial energy that flickered in the sky. In the distance, he could see a vortex of them that was swirling above who could only be senior Xukong.
~shua~
The vortex dissipated, and Xukong came flying towards Lin Mu.
"That is... rather strong. This is not something that can be done by anyone. Though why do you seem apprehensive?" Xukong spoke.
"Umm... this skill. It seems complex... I feel like while I know the working of it, I do not know if I’ll be able to use it. This skill is... quite different from the other four which directly worked; this one seems to require manual control from me." Lin Mu revealed.
"Hmm... I see. Well, manipulation of the spatial fabric is no joke and thus it is understandable that it would be difficult. Your previous four skills focused on a particular aspect of spatial manipulation and thus could be used automatically I think, but this one had more functions than just one." Xukong explained.
~Sigh~
"I’ll have to use and see it myself. I cannot do it here, I must return to the real world." Lin Mu stated.
"Let’s go back then, I’ll observe," Xukong replied.
"Alright senior," Lin Mu said, and willed himself to leave the ring.
~shua~
Lin Mu appeared in the real world and felt a bit disoriented for a second before recovering.
’Will take a few tries to get used to that...’ he thought.
He then focused his mind on the fifth skill Meld and triggered it while targeting the wall in front of him. Suddenly a large chunk of his spirit Qi got drained in an instant, which made him flinch.
~Rip~
~Crack~
Lin Mu held his head, which was spinning now, and tried to calm himself down before looking at the wall that he had targeted.
"Huh? What is this?" Lin Mu muttered in confusion.
The part which he had particularity targeted was now popping out of the wall. It was as if a brick had been moved from a large wall and that’s what it looked like to him, except it was a large part of the rock wall instead of a brick.
The part of the wall was about two meters wide and was poking out of the wall halfway. Looking at its depth, Lin Mu could tell it was half a meter wide as well.
