Walker Of The Worlds-Novel



"Brother Mu Lin, how did—" Before Ming Aolian could speak to Lin Mu though, he put a finger to his lips, gesturing for her to be silent.

Ming Aolian did as told before Lin Mu pointed with his eyes. She followed his gaze and saw that there were a lot of people watching her at that moment.

"Ah… Seems like we're the center of attention." She said in a low voice.

"Indeed." Lin Mu nodded his head. "We best talk about this elsewhere." 

"Yes sister, we should probably head out for now. We don't have fights for a while anyway." Ming Dandan agreed.

"Alright, let's go." Ming Aolian nodded.

The three left the ring, with several people watching them. There was no stopping of the discussions even if a new fight had started in the ring. After all, the fight had been too good for them to get over this quickly.

"Lu Xu and Qian Wen, have fights tomorrow right?" Lin Mu asked.

"Yes." Ming Dandan nodded her head.

"Hmm… Guess we can head to their ring next." Lin Mu said as they walked towards a tea house.

There, they quickly asked for a private room and sat down.

"How did you do that, Brother Mu Lin?" Ming Aolian finally asked, unable to resist.

"That is a method I have." Lin Mu replied. "I can't say much about it, but you will just have to follow the cues during a fight." He added.

"I see…" Ming Aolian understood it was one of the trump cards or perhaps a secret of Lin Mu and didn't ask further.

For the time being, they sat and discussed about the upcoming battles as well as some information that the two were doubtful about. Lin Mu also contacted Lu Xu and Qian Wen to ask about their fights.

He needed to know the perspective time when they would be happening after all.

It didn't take long for them to reply to Lin Mu, having gotten their match timings. 

"Hmm… Lu Xu's fight is right after midnight. That's earlier than I thought." Lin Mu spoke.

"Midnight? That's just in ten hours." Ming Aolian said.

"That may as well be today rather than tomorrow." Ming Dandan said. "How about Qian Wen?" she asked.

"Qian Wen's fight is in the afternoon. No exact time, but probably an hour or two past noon." Lin Mu answered.

"Then we have plenty of time." Ming Aolian nodded her head.

"What should we do till then?' Ming Dandan asked.

"What do we do?" Lin Mu raised his brows. "We study of course!" he said before putting down several booklets as well as a few jade slips.

"What… is this?" Ming Aolian asked.

"Information about all influential or well known participants." Lin Mu replied. "As well as the techniques they use and any other bits of information that might be useful." He added.

"We… we're supposed to learn all this?" Ming Dandan asked feeling a bit overwhelmed.

"Of course. Knowledge is power." Lin Mu said with a smile. "We'll be able to develop strategies and tactics to overcome those that are difficult." 

The two Ming Sisters had not expected this at all. While they knew they were going to make use of the information about contestants, what Lin Mu was doing was taking it ten steps further.

But when Lin Mu actually started teaching them, they realized just how much he really was into it.

The Ming sisters suddenly felt like they were back in a lecture with their masters. They also realized that Lin Mu just wouldn't stop talking. He would explain one point about a cultivators technique and then stipulate three different points as to how they worked, and how they could be overcome.

Ming Aolian felt like Lin Mu wasn't just teaching them how the techniques worked but how they could be exploited in different ways. He even asked them about their skills and how they could be applied differently in various situations.

Ming Dandan had felt that Lin Mu was strong before, but now she felt that he was smart too.  Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by Novᴇ(l)ꜰɪre .ɴᴇt

Perhaps a little too smart…

She felt a headache stirring in the back of her head with the sheer amount of information Lin Mu was pouring on them. 

Even if they were immortals who had cultivated for over a thousand years and had learned in an orthodox power under masters, they weren't acutely used to this level of studying and comprehending.

Or rather, they had mostly spent their time in their own cultivation as well as that of the beasts. They hadn't actually learned about battle tactics and strategies. Nor had they learned about the functioning of techniques and skills.

The way Lin Mu dismantled them and explained them felt to them.

The first few hours were confusing for them, then it got a bit tiring, then painful.

But eventually, the two sisters started to learn and understand. 

Lin Mu's method was a bit overwhelming but he adapted to the two as well. 

Besides, it wasn't just good for the Ming sisters but for himself as well. Not only was he bettering the chances of the two sisters winning, but he was also improving his own understanding by teaching.

Lin Mu felt like he was resolving some of the doubts he had before and was now improving further.

Unknowingly, Lin Mu had discovered the joys of teaching. 

He spent hours like this, until finally, Lu Xu messaged him again, interrupting their session.

"Looks like we'll have to take a break for now." Lin Mu said taking a sip of some tea to moisten his throat.

"Ah yeah… a break is certainly in order." Ming Aolian said, gulping down some tea as well.

While only ten hours had passed, she felt like it had been days instead. 

"I might need to sleep for a bit after this." Ming Dandan said, feeling a bit woozy.

Hearing these words, Lin Mu wondered if he should let them rest.

"Do you two want to rest here? I can go for the match on my own." Lin Mu replied.

"Uh... Will that be fine?" they asked carefully.
