The explosion was different from the ones that were caused by Lin Mu’s fiery arrows that were made from a Qi skill.

The explosion was from pure Immortal Qi, and exuded a great amount of pressure. 

~SHUA~

It was strong enough that Lin Mu’s opponent didn’t even have time to react.

~WHOOSH~

His body turned into a flash of light and returned back to Rust Sky World.

“Huh…” Lin Mu who was left in the Spatial Plane, was stuck with an awkward expression. “I should lower the amount by half for regular attacks…” he noted.

Wanting to test out Wonder Seeker’s full power, Lin Mu had used 10% of his entire Immortal Qi stores in his current attack. With the improvement of the bow, it absorbed Lin Mu’s Immortal Qi rapidly and channeled it to create the arrow within seconds.

With the power of the arrow, it was basically a simple task to pierce through the defenses of a Fifth Tribulation Stage immortal that was not prepared for it in the first place.

Not only was he still affected by the Teleportation, he would also need to be able to sense the attack that was incoming to even be able to dodge. But Lin Mu had prevented it from doing all that simply by queuing his attack beforehand.

‘I guess I can make use of this later too. And since they can’t look while we’re in the Teleportation Channel, they won’t have any suspicion either. At most, it will look like I prepared my attack really fast.’ Lin Mu thought to himself.

He took note of it, as it was a really good way to prepare an attack for later. It was also a good method to ambush others as long as he knew where they were going to be right after teleportation.

‘Thought this will probably not work on those with better senses or those that have stronger defenses.’ Lin Mu thought to himself.

With these thoughts going through his mind, Lin Mu was teleported back to the Platform, his match ending earlier than any others.

“Daoist Mu Lin is the winner!” Upon his arrival, a loud announcement was heard, and the crowd cheered in unison.

“MU LIN! MU LIN! MU LIN!”

“HE JUST BROKE THE RECORD!”

“FASTEST FIGHT IN THE TOURNAMENT!”

It was safe to say, Lin Mu had become a crowd favorite by doing that.

‘I guess the bets will change once again…’ Lin Mu thought to himself, not minding the crowd.

He looked at the other side where the healers were taking care of the unfortunate opponent of Lin Mu. He had several wounds on his body which needed great care to be healed.

‘Hmm… internal damage is also present with meridians being strained and Qi flow obstructed from the explosion of Immortal Qi.’ Lin Mu checked the man with his Immortal sense, wanting to know the extent of injuries his attack could cause.

It allowed him to get an insight into his own skills and would make it easier for him to judge further.

‘If I replace it with other elemental Qis, the effects should change as well. I should try them out sometime later. Though the amplification of Wonder Seeker has certainly become good.

With the improvement of its bowstring, its speed has certainly gotten better and its range should have increased as well. Need to test that out as well.’ Lin Mu quickly noted down the other things he needed to do later.

Having done this, he looked up at the formation screen, wanting to see what was happening in the other spatial planes.

Lin Mu first looked at the Spatial Plane where Dugu Shanhe was present. 

~THUD~

And just as he looked, the opponent of Dugu Shanhe collapsed, having been affected by his skill.

“Still the same as before.” Lin Mu didn’t really get to glance at any more clues from it.

~SHUA~

Dugu Shanhe and his opponent were teleported out, making Lin Mu look at Third Prince Feng Baxing.

Unlike Dugu Shanhe’s opponents, who almost never had any injuries, Feng Baxing’s opponents were covered with them.

The Third Prince casually stood in place and merely used a single hand.

A wind vortex danced upon the battlefield at the behest of his hand, an immortal trapped within it. Feng Baxing’s opponent couldn’t move and even his voice could not be heard over the roaring wind. Hundreds of cuts covered his body while no Qi approached his body as the vortex blew it all away.

“Guess that ends it.” Lin Mu said as Feng Baxing’s opponent was teleported out from the battlefield as well.

~SHUA~ SHUA~

The contestants appeared on the platform, making Lin Mu glance at them. 

This time though, Feng Baxing and Dugu Shanhe looked at Lin Mu with a hint of surprise in their eyes. With the chanting of the crowd that was still praising Lin Mu and the new record that he had set, the two quickly understood what had happened.

Silently noting Lin Mu as a not-so-simple competitor, they walked away.

They now knew the cultivation base that Lin Mu showed was possibly just a facade. To them, it didn’t make sense that he would be able to fight a Fifth Tribulation Stage immortal and end a fight so quickly. 

‘I’ll have to look into him perhaps…’ Feng Baxing thought as he disappeared in the distance.

Dugu Shanhe on the other hand, mixed into the crowd, a mask appearing on his face and disguising his appearance automatically. No one realized that he had seemingly disappeared out of their perception either. 

Once that was done though, he didn’t leave. Instead, he stayed in the crowd and watched Lin Mu, unknown thoughts going through his mind.

Lin Mu had no idea that he had aroused an interest in the hearts of the top two competitors as he was looking at Childe Wildfire’s fight instead.

“Guess he’s holding back too.” Lin Mu continued to watch.
