Chapter 1570 Huangyu s.h.i.+yi
The revelation that the rings had more skills than known was a mix of surprise and excitement for Lin Mu. After all, it meant that Lin Mu had many more opportunities to grow in the future.
And from what he had seen so far, none of the skills he had obtained from the ring were weak. Each of them was strong, allowing one to gain a lot of power once mastered. Plus the application of the skills was quite varied too, allowing one to mix and match them.
The best demonstration of this was none other than Lin Mu's fight with the Eleventh Prince.
After all, while both of them had the rings even with different powers, their baseline could be said to be similar.
The only reason Lin Mu came out on top was that he had actually diversified his skills and learned a lot more than just relying on the ring's skill. Right now, even without using the ring's spatial skills, Lin Mu still had the boulder collapsing fist, his sword intent, his weapons, and just the raw strength of his body itself.
Not to mention the Dao Skills he had also developed himself.
All of these were powers that belonged to Lin Mu himself and even if the ring was gone, he would still have them.
The main difference between him and the eleventh prince was that Lin Mu simply had a long time to develop after obtaining the ring.
'If I had not gotten the ring then, or perhaps the prince had it for a longer time too, maybe the outcome of the battle might have been different.' Lin Mu thought to himself.
This led Lin Mu to realize that if he were to keep this advantage in the future too, he would have to not be able to slack off.
'The ring hasn't informed me of any other parts of it yet, but it definitely will in the future. And what if it is found by someone right away and it takes me a long time to reach? That person will have a long time to develop as well.' Lin Mu pondered to himself.
The current facts that he knew was that there were other parts of the ring and they had not been found yet.
Even if someone did, as long as Lin Mu kept on growing he would be able to match up against them. Especially now that he had two rings with him.
'They only way they would be able to overwhelm me would be if their cultivation base was simply too high. After all, there is no guarantee the next ring will be in an Immortal world too what if it's found by a celestial?' Lin Mu understood the starting like for the other people might turn out to be a lot higher than him.
~huu~
Letting out a breath, Lin Mu shook his head.
"I just have to keep on growing and improving. As long as I do that, I'll definitely have ways to overcome all that comes my way." Lin Mu muttered to himself.
Xukong heard his words and felt satisfied by Lin Mu's resolve.
Done with this, Lin Mu went through the other doc.u.ments, finding a lot of interesting information.
"These are letters?" Lin Mu found a bunch of letters that had been exchanged between the eleventh prince and the people of the Holy Topaz Dynasty's royal family.
All of it was sensitive information and the official stamps of many people could be seen on it, showing that these were all important.
"There's at least three hundred of these letters, the prince kept all of them huh" Lin Mu was a bit surprised.
He started reading them and learned many things about the Eleventh prince himself as well as the people that were involved with him and the royal family of the Holy Topaz Dynasty.
In most of the letters though, the tone was rather harsh or insulting towards the Eleventh Prince.
It either chided him, or called him unless for being unable to become an immortal despite having so many resources. Some called him cursed for having mutated meridians. No one in the Holy Topaz Dynasty's royal family had them and he was the first.
If it weren't for the fact that the Holy Topaz Emperor would have their heads, the people would have already said that the Eleventh Prince did not belong to the Royal family and was borne from someone else.
There was no lack of people bullying him either, as his siblings and many other n.o.bles did the same.
Despite the support of his mother, the eleventh prince could not do much. After all, his own blood siblings that were born from the same mother were completely fine. He was the only one with the Mutated Meridians.
As Lin Mu kept on reading, he realized that the letters only got harsher. Especially when it was found that the Eleventh Prince had acc.u.mulated Pill Toxins in his body.
He had asked his mother as well as many others to grant him a Detoxifying pill, but it was to no avail. To them, the eleventh prince was not worth helping, especially since he had mutated meridians.
Even if he had taken the Detoxifying Pills, it was not a.s.sured that they might actually work on him normally.
His mother might have been able to grant him a single Detoxifying pill somehow, but the Eleventh Prince was bound to need more of them. Which was certainly not an option.
Thus he was stuck in a cycle of mediocrity.
This lasted for hundreds of years, and there were a number of people looking down on him only increased. It became the same case for commoners too, as they too found out about their eleventh prince that might not be better than some random beggar of the streets in talent.
"These letters they were only saved by the prince since they were all talking bad about him." Lin Mu realized why the prince had kept these letters.
They were a remainder.
"Looks like you did not have an easy life either, Huangyu s.h.i.+yi" Lin Mu muttered.
