<h4>Chapter 592 - Start Of The n </h4>


    Lin Mu listened to Little Shrubby’s words and chuckled.


    "What did he say?" Jing Luo asked again upon seeing Lin Mu’s strange reaction.


    "He wants to even the score." Lin Mu replied.


    "Even the score? What do you mean?" Jing Luo questioned, getting even more confused.


    "He wants to fight you again for that punch before." Lin Mu answered.


    Jing Luo was stunned by this response and didn’t know what to think. But after a little consideration, he reckoned it should be fine. He had fought many Nascent Soul realm beasts while being weaker than them.


    And here was Little Shrubby who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul realm while he was at the Child stage of the Nascent Soul realm. He didn’t think he would have a problem with this.


    "Alright, let’s do this!" Jing Luo agreed.

    Little Shrubby Roared in agreement and the three of them moved to a more suitable ce.


    ***


    About two hourster, Jing Luo was sitting with a scowl on his face.


    "Cheer up, it’s not like you lost." Lin Mu spoke.


    "That doesn’t change the fact that I could not hit him either!" Jing Luo said in frustration.


    "Hahahah!" Lin Mu couldn’t help butugh again.


    About two hours ago, Jing Luo and Little Shrubby had fought, but were unable toe to any conclusion. The fightsted for two hours during which Little Shrubby was unable to cause any major damage to Jing Luo while Jing Luo was unable to hit Little Shrubby.


    Little Shrubby’s speed had increased by another notch due to Lin Mu strengthening the sh Fire Liger Bloodline and the Thunder Bolt Cheetah bloodline. This had allowed Little Shrubby to outrun and dodge all of Jing Luo’s attacks.


    No matter how much Jing Luo tried, none of the attacks hit Little Shrubby. He was simply too fast for them. Jing Luo even deliberated whether he should use some of his strongest attacks, but then realized that if he had reached that point and was still unable to hit little Shrubby it was better to end the fight.


    Thus the fight ended in a draw with neither partying out on top. Lin Mu was quite impressed by Little Shrubby though, and knew that this was not his full speed either. Since Little Shrubby was dodging, he was using the short bursts of speed to do that.


    If he were to run in a straight line, he would be much faster than that. Plus, he had not used the Seven Beasts Burst either, as that would increase his overall capabilities by multiple times. Once that was used, who knows the battle may have flipped in odds again.


    <i>~Sigh~</i>


    Jing Luo shook his head and epted the result in the end.


    "What will you be doing now?" Lin Mu asked.


    "I’ll mine out all the materials, while you cultivate. I’ll try to be as fast as possible so that we can escape the moment you are done." Jing Luo reiterated.


    "That’s good. You should be able to tell how long it would take if you sense the spirit Qi in the environment. The moment it gets impossible for you to absorb spirit Qi naturally, you should consider that the time is near." Lin Mu replied.


    "I’ll keep that in mind." Jing Luo stated.


    The two men split apart and went to do their own tasks. Jing Luo went back to the mines, while Lin Mu went to the mountain peak. Little Shrubby, on the other hand, was going to hunt down all the beasts of the minor ne as they were technically resources as well.


    Jing Luo had made a storeroom with a chilling formation. The beast corpses would be put there by little Shrubby so that they don’t spoil and when it was time, Lin Mu would get all of them together.


    Lin Mu looked around at the mountain peak and wondered what would be a good spot for sleeping. Since he would be using Well of Slumber, Lin Mu would have to sleep and hope that he would be able to control it better this time.


    He eventually picked arge boulder and carved out a room in it. Calling it a room was a bit too much though as it was literately just a cavity that had been emptied out. Lin Mu then ced a bed in there and his favorite while bolster.


    Lin Mu had gotten quite a few items forfort in his ring, and they were quite useful at times like these. Having put set all of them, heid down on the bed and tried to sleep. His mind tried to stimte the Bloodline ability of the Great Slumber Bear as it started to fall deeper into sleep.


    <i>~humm~</i>


    Within Lin Mu’s Dantian, his Nascent Soul was calmly floating in the middle of his Dantian while bathing in the liquid spirit Qi. The spirit Qi nourished the infant and made it glow sightly. But a short whileter, a humming sound could be heard as another illusory figure appeared in the Dantian.


    This figure was that of the Great Slumber Bear. It reached the Nascent Soul and oveid upon it. The infant was fully hidden within the illusory figure of the Great Slumber bear as the bloodline ability activated.


    <i>~Rumble~</i>


    The throbbing of Lin Mu’s heart could be heard as the area went silent for a moment.


    <i>~Shua~ </i>


    But then a few secondster, spirit Qi started to swirl around the area. The amount of it increased little by little as it then entered therge bounder and from there Lin Mu’s body sucked in all of the Spirit Qi.


    The process of absorption was not as fast as when Lin Mu had broken through, but it was still sightly faster than his normal absorption speed. But while this was happening, Lin Mu had just appareled inside the Sleepscape.


    He was standing in front of the Spirit apple tree and looked around.


    "Did the size of this ce increase again?"
