Watching the Saintess, Lin Mu felt strangely calm.


    ~SASASA~


    But he wasn''t the only one excited. The twins rushed towards him, before wrapping around his body. Their long tongues flicked in excitement while they rubbed their heads against him.


    "Haha, guess you two missed me too." Lin Mu rubbed their heads.


    He could tell that the twins had grown stronger in this time as their energy fluctuations were also stronger.


    "Oh? Did you grow bigger?" Lin Mu realized that the weight of the twins had increased too.


    "Yes!" in the next moment Lin Mu''s eyes went wide as he heard something.


    "S-say that again," Lin Mu hurriedly said.


    "Yes!" The twins actually spoke this time.


    Hearing their voices, Lin Mu felt joy.


    "Ahahaha! You two can talk too now!" Lin Muughed out loud.


    "Yes! Yes! Yessssss!" the twins spoke in unison.


    Lin Mu could tell that their speech capabilities were still limited, but this was still a good start. Little Shrubby was the same after all.


    "They started talking just a day ago." The Saintess spoke up.


    "You can hear them too?" Lin Mu raised a brow.


    As far as he knew, the Saintess couldn''t hear Little Shrubby. Thus, he thought that the twins were just talking to him.


    "Of course I can." The Saintess replied. "All snakes, serpents, and reptiles are the same to me. I can understand them." She exined.


    "I see…" Lin Mu took note of it. "Though a celebration is in order. Little Shrubby!" he suddenly called out.


    "Feast!?" Little Shrubby instantly knew.


    "A feast it is!" Lin Mu dered.


    "FEAST TIME!" Little Shrubby grew in size and the prosthetic hands appeared.


    Several utensils appeared as well, while the beast headed to the kitchen to get things ready.


    In the mean time, Lin Mu sat down intending to help out when Little Shrubby needed it.


    "We help!" But the twins seemed eager and quickly jumped off.


    "They''re certainly excited." Lin Muughed.


    "They sure are." The Saintess spoke. "And considering your demeanor, things went well?" She asked.


    The Saintess knew that Lin Mu would be qualifying. It wasn''t even a question of IF but rather WHEN.


    She would instead be surprised if he actually lost this early on. Though with Lin Mu''s skills, something like that was highly unlikely to happen. If it did, it only meant that there was some strong ck horse in the tournament.


    "Yes." Lin Mu nodded his head. "There were a couple of upsets, but things are going well." He said.


    "Like what?" The Saintess inquired.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "You want to listen to it all?" Lin Mu asked, feeling eager that the Saintess was showing interest.


    "You may as well tell me while the food gets ready." The Saintess replied, a slight smile under her veil.


    "Sure!" Lin Mu said before beginning to tell all that had happened.


    He told her about hispanions, as well as how he intended to help them ovee the battles.


    Hearing this, the Saintess was quite surprised, but she didn''t express it.


    ''This should be an ability that Great Senior might have taught him… it''s truly marvelous for it to be able to bypass all protections.'' The Saintess thought to herself.


    Lin Mu continued to tell her about the other things that had happened, as well as the contestants they had seen. He told her about the ck Fin Ind''s people appearing as well as their poisons.


    Then finally he told her about the lessons that he had been giving hispanions. It was at this point that she finally spoke.


    "I''m surprised it took you this long to get teaching." The Saintess stated.


    "Huh, why?" Lin Mu asked.


    "You do have a natural disposition for that." The Saintess replied. "You have developed a Dao Embryo for the Formation Dao. It is a Dao that only those who are well versed in studies and schrly affinities can dabble in. This also coincides with those that teach well." She exined.


    "I… hadn''t thought about it like that." Lin Mu replied. "Though it certainly feels nice. I could feel myself improving and my doubts resolving on their own, as I taught." He added.


    "Mmhmm, that just shows that you have a natural affinity for it." The Saintess said before waving her hand, causing a few clouds to appear and take the shape of a formation screen.


    The clouds turned faint before only a border was left with the screen part turning transparent. If one looked closer, they would see that the screen was made out of a thinyer of moisture.


    Lin Mu watched it with intrigue, wondering what the Saintess was doing


    "What can you tell from these?" The Saintess inquired as the screen changed to show the scene of the Tournament.


    "Huh? You can observe it like this?" Lin Mu was surprised.


    "This much is nothing." The Saintess shook her head. "Look at the fights and tell me what you think."


    "What exactly do you want to know?" Lin Mu asked, feeling a bit confused.


    "Anything that you can make out. Their strengths, weaknesses and more." The Saintess replied.


    "Alright." A serious expression appeared on Lin Mu''s face as he observed the fight.


    It was one of the fights in the Tournament and involved two Second Tribtion stage immortals. Lin Mu silently observed it till the end of the fight, before starting to speak.


    During this time, The Saintess didn''t say anything and simply listened to him. Lin Mu spoke at length for about thirty minutes and was able to point out several ws as well as strengths that the twobatants had.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    He was even able to identify the Dao that they might have been practicing, even if they hadn''t shown it.


    "And that''s about it." Lin Mu said, finishing his exnation.


    "Mhmmm…" The Saintess stared at it for a few seconds before finally nodding her head.


    "Very well… I guess I can make up my mind." The Saintess said before taking out an object.


    "What''s this?" Lin Mu looked at the object.
