Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 1702 Hurting And Helping An Opponent

Seeing that Huang Bao had managed to actually dodge the first attack, Lin Mu knew he wouldnʼt be able to defeat him with Afternoon Pine quickly. The skill of Afternoon Pine was strong and would eventually be able to defeat the man.

But Lin Mu was in a hurry and could not afford to delay any longer. Thus he took a different route.

Trapping Huang Bao with the pine trees, Lin Mu prepared one of his strongest skills.

ραпdα -n?νe| , c?m The audience watched as Lin Mu cocked his hand back, gathering power within his fist. Those with keen eyes and experience could feel the subtle stirring of power within Lin Muʼs body. Normally this shouldnʼt be felt, but with how strongly it was moving, it could still be felt.

Then five seconds later, Lin Mu punched out.

Boulder Collapsing Fist: Second Form- Piercer!

~SHUA~

A needle of energy condensed from pure immortal Qi was shot from Lin Muʼs fist.

The audience could barely see it before the needle pierced through all of the pine trees condensed from metal elemental immortal Qi and sword intent. As if the trees were paper, the needle pierced through them and accurately hit Huang Bao.

~PUCHI~

Huang Bao felt like his insides had all been shaken while crushing immortal Qi stabbed through his shoulder. Lin Mu had deliberately targeted a non lethal area, or even a low powered piercer might have killed someone.

ʼThis… UGH!ʼ Huang Bao felt intense pain flowing through his body the moment the needle stabbed through his shoulder.

The hole it left behind was as big as a fist though, and copious amounts of blood flowed out of it. But that wasnʼt all as the needle of immortal Qi exited out of his body from the back.

~boom~

The needle continued on and hit the barrier at the back, exploding there with great impact.

~THUD~

The secondary explosion sent Huang Bao flying away while fragments of the pine trees struck his body. He tried to control himself, but the moment was too much. Even with the Skylight Flames burning on his body, he was helpless and was thrown out of the ring.

Lin Mu took a step to the side to avoid Huang Bao who was thrown towards him.

Huang Bao slammed into the bottom of the wall, before rolling back like a rag doll. His fatty body had managed to absorb some of the damage but it was clear that the man had already lost.

”IMPOSSIBLE!”

”WHAT!”

”HEAVENS WITNESS!”

The audience clamored in shock as they saw the stunning result.

”Huang Bao has lost! Mu Lin is the winner!” The referee quickly declared. ”Tend to Huang Bao at once!” He ordered next.

He had noticed the injury and knew that it was bad. This wasnʼt the first time someone had been impaled or was bleeding profusely in this tournament. In fact, there was already someone who had lost a limb in one of the earlier fights.

But in the case of Huang Bao the man had certainly sustained internal injuries.

The referee could tell that Huang Bao had foreign immortal Qi surging through his body and damaging his meridians.

”Ugh! This is too much…” Huang Bao barely managed to turn on his back, while groaning from the pain.

He was lying face down, and thus had dirt and blood staining his face. He looked at Lin Mu with a mix of confusion and frustration on his face.

Huang Bao had thought that Lin Mu was simply doing a casual taunt at the start of the fight. It was rather common to do, and he had responded similarly too.

ʼHe really was serious… he took me out like this…ʼ Huang Bao almost couldnʼt believe it. ʼHeʼs barely at the First Tribulation Stage of the immortal realm and knocked me out with ease.ʼ Several thoughts went through his mind, but he couldnʼt make sense of Lin Mu.

~Sigh~

But just as he was about regret his decision, he saw Lin Mu approaching him.

”Take this.” Lin Mu handed the man a pill.

Huang Bao unconsciously took it before Lin Mu turned around to leave.

”H-huh?” he didnʼt even realize what Lin Mu had done before the man was gone.

”Get his bleeding staunched, and check his meridians!” in this time, the healers had arrived and were getting ready to take him away.

Huang Bao looked at the pill in his hand and wondered what it was.

~sniff~

”What the!” But then one of the healers exclaimed. ”Pneuma Restoration Immortal pill!” his hand was pointing at the pill in Huang Baoʼs hand.

”What are you—” The other healers were about to scold him for acting unprofessional but then noticed where he was pointing at.

They took observed the pill and quickly recognized the pill.

”Where did you get that?” They couldnʼt hep but ask.

Before Huang Bao could answer though, another healer that was checking his body spoke. ”His meridians are getting damaged by the second. Heʼll need a pill to calm down the ravaging Qi and mend the meridians.”

”This… He already has one for it.” The Healer who had noticed the pill at first spoke.

”That really is a Pneuma Restoration Immortal Pill?” the healers were surprised.

”Yes… It is more than enough for his injuries… in fact it will be enough for injuries that were several times worse than this.” The first healer nodded.

Huang Bao had also sensed his internal condition and knew that his injuries were bad. But he didnʼt think the remedy would be handed to him straight away.

”I should take this, then?” Huang Bao asked.

”Yes do it. Weʼll check on you more after this, but that pill should heal the worst of it.” The healers agreed.

Seeing that the healers had given the approval, Huang Bao quickly consumed the pill and watched its effects. The Pneuma Healing Pill was a specialized pill that was meant for internal injuries that were caused from external immortal Qi.

It was meant for immortals and worked especially to control and tame foreign immortal Qi while also conditioning to the healing of the body.

In just a few seconds after Huang Bao had consumed the pill, he could feel Lin Muʼs immortal Qi from the attack calm down. A few more seconds later, the foreign immortal Qi had dissipated while the medicinal effects were quickly mending his meridians.

Huang Bao was taken back to the healing pavilion in this time, and by the time he reached it, his meridians were already close to being fully healed.

”Here, take this.” The healers were now tending to the man. ”This will stop the bleeding. And this will regenerate the flesh.” The handed him a few more pills.

After Huang Bao took them, he started to feel better, and the bleeding stopped.

A hole was still present in his shoulder, but it wouldnʼt take more than a few hours for the flesh to fully regenerate and heal.

”You were lucky to have the Pneuma Healing Pill. While we have other pills, they wouldnʼt be that fast or effective.” The healers were truly not exacting to see such a pill there.

Even for them, it was a rare pill and could only be made by high ranking alchemists.

Huang Bao was left deep in thought after hearing this though.

ʼHe was the one who injured me and also gave me the pill. He already knew the kind of injury I was gonna get?ʼ Huang Bao could only think of this.

While he didnʼt know why his opponent would do something like this, he could only thank him for now.

Some frustration did linger in his mind due to losing in the tournament from the start, but he knew that it wasnʼt Lin Muʼs fault.

ʼI was prepared for this anyways. If I faced any other strong competition like the top five, I would have ended in the same condition.ʼ Huang Bao thought.

Though he also decided in his heart to meet with Lin Mu once. He wanted to know why he had done what he had, and also what kind of skills did he use.

”He was certainly strong… It was still too early to join the tournament. I should have practiced more fighting with the Skylight Fire…” Huang Bao muttered to himself while the healers left.

The audience in the ring was also discussing about the battle. Even if a new fight had started in the ring, they just couldnʼt let go of it. It was simply too stunning after all.

All of them had a common question: just what skill had Lin Mu used?

The person behind it all, was currently making his way to another ring though.

Lin Mu went as fast as he could and reached Ming Aolianʼs ring just in time before her fight.

”Brother Mu Lin! Here!” Ming Aolian called out to him after spotting him.

Ming Dandan was with her too and she looked to be a bit anxious.

”Where is your tamed beast?” Lin Mu asked right away.
