SSS-level catastrophe? That's my wife!

Before Gu Cang could reply...

Standing beside him, Lü Ping and Zhang Huai seemed to react simultaneously, saying in unison:

"That's right, Chief Justice is our god!"

Gu Cang turned his head and looked at the three people with their eyes full of piety.

The cigarette he was holding between his fingers froze in mid-air once again.

He paused for two seconds, then turned his gaze to the sky where screams continued.

The groans of shovels echoed in my ears.

Even he himself couldn't help but secretly agree in his heart:

Such an extraordinary person, I'd believe it if you said they were a god reincarnated...

now.

Above the pitch-black sky.

The shovel was spiraling upwards like a rapidly spinning top.

His mournful howls echoed continuously through the deep night.

One hour later.

Inside a spacious room.

Iron Shovel lay sprawled on the soft bed, covered in tiny bloodstains, looking utterly disheveled.

However, all his injuries were minor superficial wounds.

Not even a single deep, gruesome wound could be found.

On the bench opposite.

Lin Mu was listening quietly to Tiechao's incessant complaints.

He kept his eyes down and didn't say a word, but his deep eyes were filled with shock.

"Dude! I'm not kidding!"

"You're really dishonest!"

"I was begging and screaming for mercy, couldn't you have just stopped?"

talking.

The shovel even deliberately grimaced, pretending to be in pain and gasping for breath.

But if you get closer and observe carefully...

You can see that the superficial wounds on his body, still covered with scabs, are healing themselves at an extremely fast speed visible to the naked eye.

Even the redness and swelling subsided at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This bizarre and astonishing scene did not escape Lin Mu's notice at all.

His shock was no less than that of the shovel.

He knew all too well how he had improved his strength.

That was a real three years in the virtual realm.

But what about the shovel?

He had only experienced a near-death experience.

Not only did his cultivation level advance by a significant step, but it also allowed him to take a giant leap forward.

Even the body underwent a complete transformation.

He stared at the wound on the shovel that was healing rapidly, and couldn't help but secretly wonder:

Could it be that the shovel, like myself, also harbors a similar system within it?

The shovel grumbled and complained for a long time.

Looking up, he saw that Lin Mu hadn't responded for a long time, so his brows furrowed even more, and he immediately shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Hey buddy! Pay attention to me, will you?"

This shout immediately brought Lin Mu back to his senses.

The shock in his eyes quickly vanished, replaced by a faint smile, his voice tinged with apology:

"Sorry, I was daydreaming just now."

Upon hearing this, Tiechao's face darkened instantly. He propped himself up and leaned forward, then pressed on with the question:

"Brother, put everything else aside for now. Just answer me one question: how the hell did you manage to wake up one day and instantly become a supreme expert at the eighth-tier high level?"

"You've opened it!?"

Lin Mu met his probing gaze, but instead of giving an immediate answer, she asked him in return:

"Brother, that's the same question I wanted to ask you: how did you manage to wake up one day and immediately enter the intermediate stage?"

After a pause of one second.

He then pointed to the wounds on the shovel that were healing at a visible speed, and continued:

"And what's with your incredible physique these days?"

"Even if I deliberately held back at the time, it would be impossible for a superficial injury of this degree to heal so quickly."

These words were spoken.

He subconsciously looked down at the wound on his skin, which was almost completely healed.

He couldn't help but scratch the back of his head, looking completely bewildered, and said:

"Brother, if I told you that my body underwent a complete transformation the moment I woke up, would you believe me?"

The words fell.

The air went still for a few seconds.

Only the soft, even breathing of the two remained in the room.

A few seconds later.

Lin Mu nodded:

I believe you.

The voice just fell.

The shovel quickly moved forward again and asked:

"And what about you?"

Lin Mu paused, met his gaze, and slowly began to speak:

"If I told you that my body also underwent a complete transformation after I woke up one night, would you believe me?"

Just as Tiecha was about to open his mouth to curse, he suddenly stopped himself from saying anything.

He suddenly remembered the strange changes in himself that he couldn't even understand, and finally fell into a brief silence.

A few seconds later.

He nodded in agreement and said in a low voice:

I believe it too.

After saying that, the two looked at each other and burst out laughing at the same time.

But next second.

The smile vanished completely from Tie Qiao's face, replaced by a righteous and indignant expression. He pointed at Lin Mu and declared:

"Brother, I'll remember this. When I surpass you in strength one day, I'll make sure you experience what it feels like to be whipped into the sky like a top."

Lin Mu's eyes first showed a hint of surprise, then he chuckled and nodded in agreement:

"Okay, I'll wait for that day to come."

Looking at his nonchalant expression, Tie Qiao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow again:

"Brother, don't you believe me? I understand the power within me all too well now."

"Reaching the eighth rank is only a matter of time for me. Even the legendary ninth rank is something I am 100% confident I can reach in the future."

Lin Mu remained calm and composed, and nodded slightly.

"Yes, I believe you. You can definitely reach the ninth level."

The shovel's lips twitched violently, and he crossed his arms, looking helpless, and said:

"no!?"

"Bro, that's the legendary ninth rank!"

"You actually believed me when I said I could break through to the ninth rank?"

He paused for a second.

He shrugged again, a wry smile on his face, and added:

"To be honest, I don't even believe it myself."

"Have more confidence in yourself. Ninth rank isn't all that great."

As he spoke, Lin Mu slowly stood up from the bench and added with a smile:

"Get some rest. We'll leave this underwater kingdom tomorrow night."

After saying that, Lin Mu stepped out of the room.

He heard a soft "click" behind him as he casually closed the door.

Tieqiao stared at the closed door, his brows furrowed, and sat on the bed, lost in deep thought.

After a long while, he finally spoke, muttering curses:

"Damn it, when it comes to subtle, unspoken boasting, I really can't beat Bai Jue!"

……

Midnight.

All was quiet.

A refreshing evening breeze, carrying the coolness of the night, gently caressed the courtyard with its blue bricks and gray tiles.

Lin Mu was sitting upright on the cold stone bench in the center of the courtyard, but his back was no longer as straight as usual.

His deep eyes slowly became misty, gradually revealing a sense of emptiness and blankness.
