<h4>Chapter 425 - Assimtion Complete </h4>


    Lin Mu’s eyes were still closed despite the loud roar. He focused on therge beast core and ignore the illusory figure in front of him.


    The illusory figure of the Great Slumber bear looked on at Lin Mu for about ten seconds before bing silent. It floated over him and then ovepped with Lin Mu. Now it was as if instead of Lin Mu a giant bear was sitting in a meditative posture.


    Inside Lin Mu’s body, the vital energy and spirit Qi was seething. There was a massive amount of it being released from his stomach and spread all across his body. There was even more spirit Qiing from the beast core in his hands and it was traveling through his meridians.


    But along with the spirit Qi, there was an aura traveling into his body as well. This aura was nothing but the bloodline aura of the Great Slumber bear. The bloodline aura traveled to his Dantian and soon another illusory figure of a great slumber bear started to form there. But this figure was different and was much smaller.


    Lin Mu continued absorbing the spirit Qi and the vital energy for a few hours, before the beast core in his hands had finally shrunk into nothingness. The illusory figure of the great slumber bear that was ovepping his body also started shrinking, while the illusory figure that was inside his body started growing instead.


    The bones that were sunken in the blood had melted and merged with it. This blood was now slowly being absorbed by Lin Mu’s body and he calmly mediated, circting the spirit Qi in his body. About twelve hours passed before the entire process wasplete and both his body and the two illusory figures were of the same size.


    But by now, the illusory figures had be red, as if tainted by the blood, and the aura of Lin Mu was indistinguishable from that of the Great Slumber bear.


    <i>~huu~</i>


    Lin Mu let out a deep breath as he opened his eyes. Simrly, the eyes of the illusory figure opened as well and a low roar was hearding from it. But this roar still traveled far and wide, silencing all the beasts of the northern forest. Even little shrubby trembled upon hearing it, but then calmed down as he could sense his master’s aura within it as well.


    Lin Mu stood up, and felt an uncontroble power flowing through his body. He felt like he needed to let out this power or he would explode. He took a step and moved like a sh, appearing on the inner end of the cave.


    "HYAA!" he yelled as the third form of the boulder copsing fist was automatically executed.


    A pink ribbon shot out of his arm, but this time his arm was fine. The pink ribbon was also much wider than before and swirled in a beautiful manner. Its beauty was the disguise for the power contained in it was terrifying.


    <i>~BOOM!~</i>


    The pink ribbon came in contact with the cave wall and instantly passed through it, pulverizing it in the process. In less than two seconds it had traveled the length of the wall and hade out of the other end where little Shrubby was.


    Thankfully, it had already sensed the danger and escaped the cave.


    <i>~Shua~</i>


    The pink ribbon faded away, but now before widening the entrance of the cave. A thick dust cloud covered the interior of the cave now as the crushed rock swirled in the air.


    <i>~BOOM~</i>


    Lin Mu punched out with his other hand, this time the power contained within it being lesser than before. Still, the punch was enough to generate a jet of wind that blew away all the dust and rocks that were in the cave. The debris shot out of the cave like bullets and shredded the trees that were outside the cave.


    After letting out two punches, Lin Mu finally felt better and didn’t feel like exploding.


    <i>~huu~</i>


    "That was... too much..." Lin Mu muttered to himself as he started to feel drowsy now.


    ’Ugh, it’s already starting,’ Lin Mu thought to himself.


    This was none other than the effect of the bloodline ability of the Great Slumber Bear, ’Well of Slumber.’


    If it had not been for the fact that Lin Mu’s body was still assimting the bloodline in it, he would have directly fallen asleep right then and there. But there were still some things he needed to do and that too very quickly.


    Lin Mu blinked in the direction of Little Shrubby and called out to him.


    "Little Shrubby!"

    There was silence for a second, before the faint sounds of foot steps could be heard from near the entrance of the cave.


    "Here." Little Shrubby said.


    "I’ll be sleeping for a while soon. So I need you to be careful, okay?" Lin Mu said.


    The beast seemed a little confused, but then nodded its head in understanding.


    "Okay," He said.


    Lin Mu looked at the entrance of the cave that was nearly twice as big now and sighed.


    "I can’t let it stay open like this while I sleep here..." Lin Mu muttered to himself.


    He went to one of the walls of the cave and punched it again. This time he used controlled force and was able to create cracks in the wall. He then slid his fingers in the cracks and pulled hard.


    "Come on now... Break!" Lin Mu shouted.


    <i>~Crack~</i>


    <i>~Rumble~</i>


    Arge chunk of the cave was pulled out by Lin Mu. The chunk was nearly half the size of the cave’s entrant and was two meters tall. Lin Mu carried it to the entrance and put it there, blocking half of the entrance. He went back and pulled out another piece, that was smaller than the previous one.


    He put it at the entrance again, this time only leaving a quarter of the space left open.


    "If you want to go outside, you can go from here." Lin Mu pointed.


    "Okay," it replied simply.


    Lin Mu then removed a bowl and ced it on a rtively t rock.
