~WHOOSH~
Using Magma Fury Lin Mu created elongated claws that latched onto the ground. He then pulled himself back causing the claws to stretch, and finally launched himself like a slingshot!
'Even if Magma does not have the normal property of being stretchable, as long as I am controlling it I can mold it to be as I want… Hard, soft, elastic, brittle or sharp… Nothing is impossible with the fury of Magma…' Lin Mu unconsciously took another step forward with the Longgui Bulwark Armor's abilities.
His body was launched in an arc and landed in the middle of tens of Lava beasts.
But as soon as he landed, he spun around while spreading his arms apart.
~THUD~THUD~THUD~
The Lava beasts within his range were all slapped by the whip like appendage, or cut by the claws that were at its ends. Some of the beasts were killed due to their energy cores being destroyed while some merely lost parts of their body.
'Hmm, need to focus better at striking their energy cores.' Lin Mu realized that while the appendages created from Magma Fury were versatile, the more he expanded them the worse his control was.
Even when he was trying to target the energy cores, his accuracy was misplaces causing him to miss it half of the time. He thought about how to fix this and realized that he had two options.
'Either I reduce the range, or simply continue to use it until my proficiency improves.' Lin Mu reckoned.
From the two options, it was an obvious choice to pick.
~HUANG~
The Magma appendages stretched again turning into elongated whips but this time having a solid rock spine. It looked like someone had braided rocks into a long whip while magma flowed in the gaps between it.
The whips flew around at a great speed, tearing through the bodies of the lava beasts. Some of the beasts managed to get injured and survived but some couldn't avoid that, as their energy cores were destroyed by the whips.
At first ninety percent of Lin Mu's attacks missed the energy cores, but the more he kept on using the whips the better his accuracy got.
If an immortal observed it all closely they would realize that whenever the whips touched the beasts, they seemingly changed their paths. This was due to the fact that Lin Mu was actively recalculating his attacks once they made contact with the bodies of the Lava beasts.
He sensed their energy cores inside and guided the whips towards them.
The rocky spine of the whips helped in this, as Lin Mu could selectively change their size and shape in order to make the whip bend really fast.
In fact it was so fast that it could almost be considered instantaneously.
About two hours had passed since Lin Mu had began his 'solo' battle with the Lava beasts.
Lady Kang and Lin Mu's beasts were resting while observing everything that he did. They hadn't needed to do anything just as Lin Mu had said.
'I thought I would have to interfere when the beast's came closer or some slipped by, but he really managed to stop all of them. And it doesn't seem like he's slowing down at all.' Lady Kang thought to herself.
She had actually used up a decent amount of her Immortal Qi since the time they had entered the Trials, and had intended to recover her Immortal Qi later on once they were done with this trial.
She was sure that she had more than enough immortal Qi to endure this, but hoped that they could finish this before that. And now that Lin Mu had given her the chance she could really see the benefit in it.
The twins didn't really need to recover much, since they were regenerating all their immortal Qi as they consumed the beasts at the same time. Though this did give them the chance to refine and expel the unsuitable immortal Qi from their bodies.
Xiao Yang expelled all the Yin elemental immortal Qi that he had accumulated, while Xiao Yin did the opposite. After doing this, the two exchanged the Yin and Yang Elemental Immortal qi's allowing them to improve their cultivation base.
And since they had done this after quite some time, the accumulated Qi was quite a lot too.
Lady Kang saw this and couldn't understand it at first.
She then realized that the Immortal Qi was Yin and Yang element causing her to be surprised. After all, she knew that even for cultivators using pure Yin and Yang elemental Qis was an incredibly difficult task.
Most of the time, only the peak experts could grasp it and even then they had their own limitation.
Refining normal immortal Qi into Yin or Yang immortal Qi was not a simple task either and had a high consumption of immortal Qi.
It didn't matter what element they were, as the output was still less than optimum.
Often, the conversion rate would barely be a couple of percent which was abysmal for a normal expert. It would be the same as wasting a majority of their immortal Qi.
But for beasts like these that really belonged to the Yin and Yang element, it was a different equation.
The elements were their very source of existence and it didn't matter how much immortal Qi they needed to consume. Besides, they would still end up at the top due to the sheer qualitative difference.
After all, it was said that the Yin and yang elements were the second set of elements that were created from the very chaos when the cosmos came into being.
Lady Kang also saw Little Shrubby who seemed to be the most calm out of all of them. He had been with Lin Mu the longest and had the greatest faith in him.
As such he took it all casually, and spent his time in absorbing the rich fire elemental immortal Qi in the area.
This place was basically a tonic to him, and thus Little Shrubby had not only recovered by his cultivation base was growing too.
