"What is that?" The child couldn't help but ask upon seeing the two beasts, feeling immensely curious.
Other people in the audience were also wondering the same, not knowing the significance of the two beast forms that had appeared.
"I don't know what that bear is but that… That is… The Tyrant Bull!"
~MOOOOOOOO~
As if on cue, the bull's form above Lin Mu's head let out a cry before a great strength filled Lin Mu's body. A tyrannical aura surrounded him as two terrifying beast forms backed him up.
~ROAR~
The giant bear roared as well, joining in with the Tyrant bull, not wanting to be underestimated. The two beasts infused their powers into Lin Mu's body, while it kept on growing.
"I would have never thought I'd get to see Tyrant Bull Marrow Secrets today…" An elderly body cultivator in the audience said.
The Tyrant Bull Marrow Secrets was one of the best Body cultivation techniques that many body cultivators yearned to practice. Despite the fact that the manual for it was actually common, not many could go ahead with their desires.
Obtaining the Tyrant Bull Marrow was a difficult and expensive task that only a few body cultivators with a rich and powerful background could afford.
But that was merely half the battle.
In order to actually be able to practice the technique, one needed to make the Tyrant Bull's spirit submit to them. It was a task harder than anything else, and most failed at this step.
And through some luck of talent, they did manage to survive this, but they would still have to continue surviving it further. After all, being a body cultivator was the same as always having a tribulation on one's head. Those with weaker wills could not survive this.
Thus, while the Tyrant Bull Marrow Secrets was a strong technique accessible to many, seldom did anyone try to practice it.
Seeing someone actually practice and succeed in the technique was even rare.
"Just what level has he reached?" the people in the audience couldn't help but wonder.
"Looking at the Tyrant Bull's form, it is still Legless. He should be at the third level and equivalent to the Third Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm." The elderly body cultivator answered for the others.
"Third Tribulations stage in Body and second in Qi… he's done both almost at the same level." Many couldn't believe that someone could balance both this well.
"Don't forget, he's also using a risky technique like the Tyrant Bull Marrow Secrets and even has Sword Skills with a strong Sword Intent." Another cultivator reminded.
~ROAR~
While the audience was marveling at Lin Mu's capability, the man in question was ready to act. The Tyrannical Aura surrounded him and was reinforcing his body as well. Lin Mu could tell that his body was different than the last time he had used the Tyrant Bull Marrow Secrets.
'The Great Slumber Bear Bloodline is also amplifying my body with its power. I guess the Tyrant Bull's spirit made it come out too.' Lin Mu thought to himself. 'Combing them with the True Gold Body Forging Arts, I should be able to handle even more attacks.' He reckoned.
Yao Changying gazed at her opponent and felt shocked.
Lin Mu, who had exceeded a height of two meters and was exuding a tyrannical aura unlike anything she had seen so far in the tournament. To her it was a massive difference, as his style and demeanor seemed different.
All the skills and methods that Lin Mu had used in his earlier fights seemed incomparable to what he was showing now.
'The past information might not work here…' Yao Changying thought, furrowing her brows. 'But he is still lacking!' she had her own pride and wouldn't be backing down this easily.
"Flourishing Flower Sword Art: Dazzling Petal Rush!" Yao Changying spun her sword before thrusting it towards Lin Mu.
This created a spiraling wave of energy that carried thousands of pink petals with it. They rushed towards Lin Mu, threatening to grind him to dust.
And yet, Lin Mu was unfazed, having a look of casual confidence.
~huu~
Taking a deep breath, his chest perked up before he made his move.
Clenching his fist tightly, Lin Mu threw a simple punch.
~RUMBLE~
And yet, the simple punch transformed into something otherworldly!
A tyrannical aura coalesced around his fist and transformed into a large fist imprint. It then rose towards the incoming petals, colliding with it effortlessly.
The pink petals were like paper against the fist, crumbling into specks of Qi and dissipating. The Sword intent contained within the petals managed to sustain the power, but the Tyrannical aura of the fist was simply too domineering.
It crushed the Sword Intent, forcefully making it disperse.
"He… blocked it!"
"He actually blocked the attack fully!"
The audience screamed in shock. They had seen the unstoppable attacks of Yao Changying and had thought that it would be the same as before. And yet, a simple fist of Lin Mu's had collapsed the entire attack in one go.
"Ho… Looks like this is what I need to keep as a standard." Lin Mu said, opening his fist into a claw form. "If it is just this much, then… I can do this all day!" he smiled wildly, a rush of excitement and violence spreading through his heart.
~BOOM~
With a single stomp, he turned into a blur, appearing right in front of Yao Changying.
"GAH!" The woman was still a Fifth Tribulation Stage Immortal and managed to react to it, thrusting with her long sword.
~DENG~
Lin Mu's red and yellow hand that was bare, struck the sharp sword of Yao Changying, creating a shockwave between them.
~KABOOM~
Both of them were pushed back in this, while Yao Changying's sword was deflected back.
~drip~
A single drop of blood fell from Lin Mu's hand, and a small cut could be seen on it.
"Hmm… That's a strong sword, for sure." Lin Mu said, looking at the cut on his hand that was already healing. 'Is she still holding back?' he couldn't help but wonder.
