Lin Mu was now using just his own body to fight the troll and had stopped using his spirit Qi, completely. He wasn't even flying now and was just walking and jumping around the ground.

He had completely taken to the challenge and wanted to see if he could deal with the beast using just his body. It was a personal challenge that he had made up during the fight and was now doing his best.

~huu~

"This is certainly a different experience." Lin Mu said.

If someone knew what Lin Mu was doing, they would think that he was a fool. But Lin Mu knew exactly what he was doing. He was moving away from relying on just spirit Qi all the time. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

He knew that if he wanted to fully explore the potential of the Body cultivation and the five treasures realm, he had to depend on his body to do so. Besides, while the troll demon beast did looked rather intimidating at first, Lin Mu had now learned most of its actions and behaviors.

The beast certainly had a ton of stamina and vitality as they had been fighting for two days straight now. The area around them had been left barren and no more beasts were approaching, either.

All of them had either been killed or were now too scared to approach. The attractive aura that Lin Mu was exuding before had long since faded away. And now that he had just been using his body to fight, a different kind of an aura was appearing on it.

It was one of dominance and intimidated every beast around him other than Little Shrubby and the troll. And the more he fought, the more it was increasing. Lin Mu had gone quite far in his challenge and had even dropped the armor of the Mortal Strengthening scripture.

A few bruises and marks were now visible on his bare chest, a testimony of his fight.

"Ahhaha! This is fun!" Lin Mu said as his blood flowed with adrenaline and endorphins.

It was a strange state he had not experienced before and it was actually giving him joy.

Xukong who had been observing the entire thing, had some other thoughts though.

~Sigh~

"This boy… he's getting infected by that muscle-hotheadedness as well." Xukong shook his head.

"Seems like the saying is true… all Body cultivators will love fighting and may become addicted to it." Xukong continued.

He looked back at the scene and saw the wide smile on Lin Mu's face.

"Well… at least he's enjoying it. And it doesn't seem like he'll lose any time soon. Plus… he's actually progressing in his cultivation and he doesn't know it yet." Xukong said as his eyes narrowed.

A thin wisp of spirit sense rose up from his body and entered Lin Mu's body. There, it could observe the activity of the cells that were all bursting with vitality. It was as if they were doped up with drugs and were functioning at their optimum potential

They were even replicating and increasing in number, healing the injuries that were gained by Lin Mu during the fight. It was an astounding scene for most of the people. But Xukong could observe the depths of it and realized what was actually happening.

"His body cultivation is actually increasing even now… fighting puts his body under strain, which activates the cells to work harder, which stimulates their potential and progresses the refinement.

All the vitality gathered into his body due to all the beasts he ate is now fueling it little by little. If he really keeps this up, he might not even need a cultivation technique to progress in the five treasures realm.

Though it will be slow…" Xukong analyzed in depth.

~Sigh~

He let out another sigh and looked back at the altar in the distance.

"Perhaps… he will show more miracles? What do you say?" Xukong asked, but received no answer.

***

Five days had passed since Lin Mu had started his battle. The wounds on his body had relatively healed up and new ones were not really occurring anymore.

"GURAAAAA! DIE!" The Troll Demon beast punched with his wide fist.

~shua~

~thud~

But before the fist could even reach Lin Mu, he dodged it like a rabbit. He moved very fast such that only a blur was left behind. The most surprising thing was the fact that he was actually not using Blink.

He had stopped using the ring's skill as well a while ago. His tendons were strengthened as well and could retract at a very fast speed, allowing him to dodge attacks even better.

"Hehe, that won't work anymore." Lin Mu said as he smiled and rushed forward to punch again.

While he was fighting, Little Shrubby was lying on a rock nearby.

~Yawn~

"Master~ How long will you fight? Can't you just end it now? I'm bored~" Little Shrubby spoke.

"Just a little while more. I'm nearly done." Lin Mu said.

And he was actually saying the truth. He could now tell that he had fully controlled the aspects of his body that he was unable to before. He truly was twice as strong as when he was five days ago.

And despite the continual battle, he was full of energy and the vital energy was just filling his body nonstop. All the beast corpses that he had eaten were showing their effect.

'Practicing the Nameless technique of the Lost immortal certainly has its additional hidden benefits…' Lin Mu thought to himself.

Since he had never actually fought this long, he had not known that his vitality would continue to be restored by his stomach. It was as if there was a massive stockpile of vital energy hidden within his body, and it was just waiting for Lin Mu to stress it a bit.

~DENG~

A strong punch hit the Troll beast in his stomach and it spat out a mouthful of blood.

"GU HA!" The Demon beast cried in pain.

It then stepped back for the first time and looked apprehensively at Lin Mu.. Then, in the next moment, a sphere appeared from its body.
