Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 3729: A Spar With Cattaleya And Energy Fluctuations Detected!

The battle began immediately afterward.

And it lasted for four entire hours.

Cattaleya fought like a raging storm.

Lin Mu fought like an unmovable mountain of magma.

The two clashed repeatedly across the void while countless dwarves watched excitedly from safe distances.

Cattaleya’s attacks had become vastly sharper than before.

Her combat instincts also improved tremendously after months of fighting dwarven transcendents constantly. Every strike carried terrifying force while her movements remained incredibly aggressive.

Meanwhile Lin Mu relied entirely on the Longgui Bulwark Armor Technique and the Magma Colossus form.

He intentionally restricted himself.

No spatial skills.

No sword intent.

No other techniques.

Only the transformed body and its abilities.

Even then, the battle remained terrifyingly intense.

Sometimes Cattaleya blasted directly through molten attacks.

Other times Lin Mu restrained her movements using flowing magma constructs and crushing force.

Several nearby asteroids were accidentally destroyed during the fight.

At one point, Cattaleya actually split a molten mountain Lin Mu created clean in half with a single strike.

Hours passed before both finally stopped simultaneously.

Neither had truly won.

The spectators erupted into excited discussion immediately afterward.

Cattaleya stood panting slightly while resting her sword over one shoulder.

Then she laughed loudly.

"You got ridiculous again," she admitted.

Lin Mu smiled faintly.

"You improved a lot too."

And he truly meant it.

Cattaleya had become significantly stronger.

If Lin Mu had used all his abilities seriously, the outcome might have changed. Yet considering he restricted himself to one technique alone while still ending evenly matched, it showed just how dangerous Cattaleya had become. And this was when she was not using her stronger techniques either.

The woman grinned proudly hearing his acknowledgment.

Meanwhile several nearby dwarves were already arguing loudly about who would have won if the fight continued another hour.

The days after Lin Mu’s return settled into a calm rhythm once more.

The excitement caused by the Magma Colossus had gradually faded and Mantleheim returned to its usual pace. The forges reignited one after another, rivers of lava resumed flowing through carved channels, and the constant ringing of hammers once again became the heartbeat of the hidden city.

Lin Mu spent most of this time within the Ancestral Wisdom Library.

Now that he had finished forging the Twin Void Pillars and had free time again, he naturally returned to what he always did whenever an opportunity presented itself.

He learned.

Or more accurately, he devoured knowledge.

The dwarf elders had already granted him unrestricted access to the library and now they went a step further. With the help of the Ancestral Wisdom Mind itself, Lin Mu began copying down vast amounts of information into storage jade slips.

The floating multicolored sphere remained suspended above the central chamber while countless threads of runes extended from it into the surrounding library.

Whenever Lin Mu requested information, the sphere responded instantly.

Ancient forging manuals.

Rune inscriptions.

Records of celestial metals.

Histories of extinct dwarven clans.

Spatial forging methods.

Immortal ore processing techniques.

Ancient puppet engineering.

Lost formation arrays.

Materials that even Lin Mu had never heard of before.

The amount was so immense that even Lin Mu occasionally found himself stunned.

At first he intended to selectively copy only what interested him.

That idea lasted exactly three days.

After that he simply began copying everything.

The elders laughed at his approach.

"You’ve given up choosing?" Jing Wei asked once while watching Lin Mu operate a dozen recording slips simultaneously.

Lin Mu nodded calmly.

"There is too much," he admitted. "Choosing now would simply make me miss things."

"Wise answer." Jing Wei laughed. "This library has accumulated knowledge for millions of years. Even we have not gone through all of it."

The process continued for an entire month.

By the end of it Lin Mu’s storage rings contained mountains of recording slips because a single jade slip could never store that much information..

Even he estimated it would take him many years to properly study everything.

The dwarves had no objections.

If anything they were pleased.

To them, Lin Mu had already become one of their own.

He had worked beside them.

Shared their forges.

Created legendary weapons alongside them.

Helped write new Chapters of dwarven history.

The relationship had long since passed ordinary friendship.

Before the copying concluded, the elders even presented him with a special token.

It was a small hammer carved from dark metal with intricate runes engraved along its surface.

"This is a Dwarven Kin Hammer," Jing Wei explained while handing it over.

Lin Mu inspected it carefully.

"It will serve as proof of our recognition," the elder continued. "Other dwarf settlements will know you are trusted."

Lin Mu raised a brow.

"There are more settlements?"

The elders nodded.

Several hidden communities existed across the Immortal Realm.

Some lived within normal immortal worlds.

Others inside broken worlds.

Some wandered constantly.

The dwarves naturally kept these locations secret and even they did not know every settlement.

Information remained compartmentalized for safety.

Still, they shared several known locations with Lin Mu.

He memorized them carefully.

He had a feeling this would become useful eventually.

Today had started similarly.

Lin Mu sat together with the Mountain Dwarf Transcendent Elder sharing food while discussing old forging theories. The elder was explaining the differences between force transfer methods used by ancient mountain dwarves when suddenly footsteps approached rapidly.

A younger dwarf entered.

His expression was serious.

"Elder," he spoke quickly. "There is an issue."

The atmosphere changed immediately.

The Mountain Dwarf Elder stood.

"What happened?"

"The monitoring hall detected a strong energy fluctuation."

Lin Mu paused.

The elder frowned.

"How strong?"

The younger dwarf swallowed.

"Immortal vessel class."

The room became silent.

Lin Mu immediately put down his cup.

The elder’s expression sharpened.

"Can I come too?" Lin Mu asked.

The Mountain Dwarf Elder nodded immediately.

"Please do."

The three left at once.

The monitoring hall stood deeper within Mantleheim and differed greatly from the surrounding forge structures. Instead of heat and hammers, it contained layered formation arrays and observation platforms.

Several dwarves already worked inside.
