Disadvantaged And Restrained

Unlike the other top rankers, Lin Mu hadn't looked into Tian Ning and didn't even know the man had fought the Third Prince to a draw. 

Thus this time around Lin Mu was actually lacking in a plan!

In all the fights before this, he had analyzed his opponent and developed counters to their skills. But now was a time where a lack of information had failed him.

Of course, he wasn't discouraged by it.

It wasn't the first time he was fighting an opponent that was unknown to him. He had done it hundred of times before and had always managed to overcome it all.

~huu~

Taking a deep breath, Lin Mu chanted the calming heart sutra focusing his thoughts on his opponent.

~SHING~

He slashed out diagonally with Afternoon pine, using the swords skill again and creating tens of metal pine trees. But this was merely to buy him a bit of time.

~WHOOSH~
