The expression of the warrior was stuck in a daze, just like his leg was stuck in the ground.
"Uhh… Noble Lin Mu… Is this supposed to happen?" The warrior was confused.
While he was told that he would be able to exert a force far greats than before, he never thought it would directly shatter the stone ground like this. One must know, the stone ground was naturally tough and was made even more durable once Lin Mu had set up the Earth Fixing array.
The Warrior in question was at the mid-stage of the core condensation realm and was considered one of the weaker ones among the tribe. And even someone like him had created enough force to kick through solid rock.
Lin Mu, who watched it all with a sharp eye, nodded his head.
"It is good." Lin Mu spoke. "Don't worry, just pull your leg out."
~Crumble~
A few small pieces of the stones fell from the warrior's foot but no actual damage was present on his leg.
"My leg is fine?!" The warrior was surprised.
He thought that it should have at least scraped his skin with how much force had been used, but there was seemingly nothing. It was extremely exciting and shocking at the same time for him.
'A few minor adjustments are still needed. But they should be done quick.' Lin Mu thought to himself.
Just by observing how the Haima Warrior used the modified Bronze Might Kicking technique, Lin Mu had learned of more flaws. The flaws were either related to the irregular fluctuations of energy during the start of the kick, which lead to a slight loss of momentum.
It wasn't anything that would break the skill, but eliminating it would still improve the skill more. The next flaw that Lin Mu noted was in the bronze light that formed over the leg.
The bronze light actually had a function and wasn't just there for show. It was in fact, the instantaneous compression of spirit Qi that would provide the rigid surface for the hit. It also protected the legs of the person, preventing them from getting damaged.
Even with the good defense of a Haima warrior, hard surfaces would still cause them some damage. Especially in the case of a weaker warrior at the core condensation realm.
Noting these down, Lin Mu dismissed the warrior and told him to practice on his own. He then returned to his residence and got to hammering out the flaws. This time the process was fast and in just a couple of hours, Lin Mu was done.
"That should improve the flow as well as keep the defense intact." Lin Mu rubbed his bristled chin.
His beard had started to grow back and was growing faster than ever before. If it weren't for the fact that Lin Mu had been shaving it every couple of days, his face would have been covered in hair.
'At least it doesn't take me longer than a couple of seconds to do it.' Lin Mu thought.
The way he shaved was by letting metal attribute spirit Qi imbued with sword intent flow over his face. It would perfectly shave off the hair and save his time.
"Maybe I'll just let it grow after a while…" Lin Mu muttered to himself as he walked out of the residence.
And just as he was about to holler for a guard, one came rushing towards it.
"Nobel Lin Mu! You're already done?" this was none other than the Haima Warrior, who was the first to learn the kicking technique.
"Oh you're here still. That'll make it a bit easier to compare." Lin Mu said with a nod.
"Compare what?" the Haima Tribe warrior asked.
"Just remember what I'm about to teach you for now. It's similar to the skill from before, but just with some adjustments." Lin Mu said before explaining the new and improved version of the Bronze Might Kicking Technique.
Having learned it once already, it barely took the warrior any time to memorize it. The changes were only minor in the manual, but the effect would still be apparent.
"Demonstrate the new version for me now.." Lin Mu instructed.
"Yes, Noble Lin Mu!" The warrior responded promptly.
In the short two hours that Lin Mu had spent in tweaking the final aspects of the technique, the Haima Warrior had already gone around showing it off to other members of his clan.
If it weren't for the fact that he was an assigned guard, he would have long gone around the tribe, showing off his new skill and power.
But Lin Mu's authority kept him in place. Not to mention, he didn't want to go away at all after learning the power of the skill.
'The more I stay with Nobel Lin Mu, the more might learn. I should stay with him.' The warrior thought internally.
Lin Mu didn't know what was going through the man's mind and neither did he knew just how much excitement he had created for the man. His focus returned and he glanced at the Haima Warrior utilizing the Qi skill.
This time both of his left legs were raised, with one of them even straightened out upwards.
~SHUA~
A momentum started to build up in the warriors Dantian before it reached the maximum circumference and was unsealed into his legs.
~BOOM~ BOOM~
Two craters were created in the ground at once, and spider web like cracks spread across its area. While the impact wasn't as deep as before, Lin Mu could see that the warrior was a lot better at controlling it.
He had also increased the speed slightly.
"The improvement is significant on just the second try." Lin Mu was pleased.
"Go, call for everyone. It is time for a mass lesson." Lin Mu ordered.
"I shall do it at once!" The Haima Warrior ran through the streets, heading straight for Elder Niji's place.
Lin Mu simply sat there and watched as an entire tribe gathered near his residence within the hour.
"Now we'll start the real lesson!"
