Walker Of The Worlds

The next cycle of matches was still twenty hours away, thus Lin Mu and Ming Dandan had a decent amount of time to study.

Ming Aolian, Qian Wen and Lu Xu also paid attention during it, hoping that they might get some ideas too for their own fights.

Luo Liqin on the other hand spent his time monitoring the changing odds as well as keep an eye out for any news. 

The latter was asked by Lin Mu, as he wanted to know if there would be any suspicion from the temple about the interference in the matches. Then there was also the movement of their opponent that they needed to watch for.

Lin Mu was mostly focused on Ming Dandan and Qian Wen’s fights, ignoring the other two fights in the cycle since he didn’t know if he would have the effort to focus on them.

They were even willing to give up on the bets this time around, since there was a chance Lin Mu might not have enough time to interfere.

The two other fights actually had strong contenders too, with one of them being someone Lin Mu had actually fought before.

It was none other than Chang Fa!

The man who used his hair to fight was an interesting opponent and had somehow managed to survive all this time. Lin Mu knew that he had the potential to do that and he had shown him that too.

Unfortunately for Chang Fa, his opponent was a lot stronger than him. It was a Fourth Tribulation Stage immortal who was said to be close to the Fifth Tribulation realm.

Regardless of that, Lin Mu had an inkling that Chang Fa would still give it his all to prove the value of his clan.

‘If I have time and Chang Fa is still standing even then, I might be able to help him.’ Lin Mu thought.

As for the last remaining fight, it had people that Lin Mu didn’t know about much. He didn’t care about that fight, and would only think about them if the other three fights were over.

‘I won’t have enough time to manage all of them anyways.’ Lin Mu thought.

His current priority was first, Qian Wen and Yao Changying, then Ming Dandan, then Chang Fa and if the fight was still going, he’d try to bet on the last fight’s contestants.

With a hundred things going through his mind, time passed really fast for Lin Mu and in the blink of an eye, it was already time for the next cycle of matches.

~humm~

The tokens all hummed, notifying that the next match was about to begin.

“I should head, out.” Ming Dandan said.

She couldn’t leave her junior sister alone after all. 

“That’s fine.” Lin Mu didn’t think there would be an issue. 

“I’ll try to not make you wait too long.” Qian Wen spoke to Ming Dandan. 

“Come on now, no time to waste.” Lu Xu urged them ahead.

Lin Mu focused on the formation array again and let his Immortal sense infiltrate it. The spatial planes didn’t fully close after a fight had come to a conclusion in it. Instead, it would enter a dormant state where all the damage caused within it would be fixed.

In this time, the temple would also check the plane as well as formations as a security measure. Thus Lin Mu couldn’t just keep his immortal senses in it all the time. 

By the time, Qian Wen and Ming Dandan would have reached the spatial planes, Lin Mu would have crossed half of the layers. With half of the path already covered, he would be able to choose which Spatial plane to go to.

“Brother Mu Lin, it has begun.” Luo Liqin informed Lin Mu.

And sure enough, a couple of minutes later, Lin Mu could see the teleportation array work again.

~shua~

The formation screen changed again, and Lin Mu could see that they were all teleported to the Spatial Planes. 

‘There’s Qian Wen.’ Lin Mu controlled his Immortal sense and guided it into the Spatial Plane where his companion was.

With the repeated practice, Lin Mu barely took two minutes to successfully enter it.

“Let the fights begin!” The voice of the referee could be heard through the formation screen.

Everyone watched without blinking as the contestants appeared in the Spatial planes. 

Qian Wen stood nearly a hundred meters from his opponent, who seemed to have an expression of disinterest. 

‘I need to wait for Brother Mu Lin’s signal.’ Qian Wen remembered what Lin Mu had told him. ‘He’ll use his immortal sense to tell me when.’ 

Lin Mu would usually conceal and avoid touching cultivators when using his immortal sense to prevent himself from being detected. But the same thing could be used now as a trigger to spur Qian Wen into motion. 

The man would know it is Lin Mu telling him to attack.

On the other hand, Lin Mu was also observing Yao Changying closely. 

The woman seemed to be calm, and a feeling of authority was present around her. She wore a mix of dark blue and grey robe’s that were layered. On her head, a small coronet was present which she wasn’t wearing previously when Lin Mu had seen her.

Her hair was also tied in a ponytail with a golden ribbon that had tiny beads woven into it.

‘She seems a bit strange…’ Lin Mu didn’t know why, but Yao Changying’s aura didn’t seem normal to him.

There was something different about her, but he couldn’t place his finger on it.

‘Best we end it early. It might not bid well for Qian Wen.’ Lin Mu thought.

He glanced at the formation screen where Ming Dandan was present. 

She had already summoned her Mulch Crawl Eater beast and was defending against her opponent.

‘Mm… she’s following the advice correctly.’ Lin Mu saw that she wasn’t disadvantaged right away.

~Humm!~

His attention was quickly brought back to Qian Wen, as he sensed sword intent there.

Yao Changying had made her move!
