Lin Mu's body was tough, and even if his True Gold Body was no longer good enough to endure immortal level attacks, it could block minor attacks with ease. Not to ntion, it would activate at a monts notice and endure it.
At most, it would break, and the damage would finally be passed onto his body. And this was considering the Longgui Bulwark armor didn't activate in ti, which Lin Mu usually did within the fraction of a second. But he hadn't been able to this ti due to the sheer speed of the fragnt.
"I'll have to be careful with that. The force of the Penetrator needle is far too high. It hit the fragnt and turned it into sharp arrow." Lin Mu muttered to himself as he healed the cut on his cheek.
Thankfully even if he had sustained the damage, his vitality was nor than enough to heal it. The cut stopped bleeding and scabbed over. It would take a day or so for the scab to be gone, but the skin would still heal fast.
But it did serve as a warning for Lin Mu, as he now knew just how dangerous it could be if he didn't take more precautions.
~SHUA~
Keeping that in mind, he activated the Longgui Bulwark Armor and let it cover his entire body.
"I best keep this on at all tis." Lin Mu muttered to himself before trying to pluck out the Bark Fragnt from the wall.
It had been lodged about four ters deep, thus Lin Mu had to use ld to pull it out without damaging the rest of the wall.
Holding it in his well protected hand, Lin Mu looked at the Bark Fragnt.
"Hmm… There is a tiny mark." Lin Mu could barely see it. As such he used his Immortal sense to get a proper look at it, only to find that it was less than a microter deep.
'Penetrator worked sowhat, but couldn't pierce through. At most it 'dented' it.' Lin Mu observed. 'But this won't be good at all. I used Penetrator at point blank range and this was the effect, if I use it normally with the Chira Plant it probably wouldn't do much at all. Even increasing the power of the skill won't be good.' He thought.
Holding the Bark Fragnt in his hand, Lin Mu thought of another option.
~SHUA~
The Fragnt started to float above his palm as he used ld on it. He controlled it finely, increasing the force bit by bit. And yet, the fragnt held steadfast despite the very fabric of space trying to divide it. Lin Mu's eyes widened as he continued to increase the power of his skill.
It took an entire five minutes before the Bark Fragnt started splitting it in half!
Lin Mu's eyes were bloodshot by this ti as the strain had been too high.
~THUD~
He collapsed to the ground, before starting to pant.
"Haa… HAA… HAA…" Lin Mu almost couldn't believe the amount of power it had taken him. "It split… but the power and ti needed is too high." He muttered to himself.
He glanced at the divided fragnt and the smooth edges that had been created from it. 'When I tried ld on the Chira Plant, the skill simply refused to work due to the sheer quantity of Death Qi within the plant. But now that the bark is separate from the plant, it is usable again. Though despite that the Qi needed to use ld is simply too high on it.' Lin Mu thought to himself.
Normally speaking, Spatial Skills were capable of splitting almost everything. But there were materials that could resist that too. Usually this was done through the ans of arrays or special tools, but the fragnt of the Chira Plant was unique.
'I suppose it makes sense for it to have such an ability to resist spatial skills. Otherwise in the past, it would have still been cut down by the Spatial Masters.' Lin Mu thought to himself. 'Though I suppose not all Chira Plants would be like this as this one has been nurtured on a high concentration of Death Qi.' He corrected his assumption.
He was facing a unique specin that not many had faced even in the age when there were thousands upon thousands of Chira Plant. It was another testant to the capabilities of the Chiric Fiend God since he was capable of making a plant such as this.
~huu~
"This is certainly not the viable option, I'll have to think of sothing else." Lin Mu took a deep breath and stood up.
He cleaned up the broken table and picked up the other fragnts that had fallen down due to the table's collapse.
But when he was picking them up, he noticed sothing.
"Wait a second…" Lin Mu narrowed his eyes, as saw a fine notch on one of the fragnts. He notch was tiny, being less than half a milliter deep. In fact, it would have been easy to miss it and think that it was created when the Fragnt broke from the rest of the plant. But Lin Mu was sure this was not there before. Not to ntion the cut was far too smooth.
~SHUA~
He used his Immortal sense to scan and and could feel the smoothness of the cut. "How did this… wait, can it be?" An idea appeared in Lin Mu's mind as he checked the fragnt he had split in half. He scanned all of its edges before finding one that seed to fit the notch that had been made in the other fragnt.
"The Bark Fragnt Damaged the other fragnt?" Lin Mu almost couldn't believe it. 'It certainly happened when it was flicked and cut through the table. It must have also nicked the other fragnt in the process.' He guessed.
And as he observed the nicked fragnt, he realized another thing. "This is a root fragnt and not a Bark fragnt…" As soon as he understood this, it all clicked to Lin Mu.
