Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 3710: Testing Spatial Skills With The Spears

Lin Mu hovered amidst the endless darkness of space while the fragmented remains of the Runweld Barren World drifted all around him. Collapse rested in his hand, the spear humming faintly as currents of Spatial Energy moved within its structure like invisible rivers flowing through the veins of a living creature.

The earlier tests had already exceeded every expectation he had. Even the dwarf elders were still looking at the spear with unconcealed amazement, their eyes occasionally drifting toward the destroyed asteroid far in the distance.

Yet Lin Mu knew he had only tested the most basic aspects of the weapon.

What truly mattered were his spatial skills.

Collapse had already shown that it could resonate with Blink. If that was possible, then the other spatial techniques should also react to it.

Lin Mu’s eyes narrowed slightly as anticipation rose within him.

"Let’s see just how far this goes..." he muttered softly.

The dwarven elders watched him carefully.

They too had become curious.

After all, none of them were Spatial Cultivators. They understood spatial materials from the perspective of forging and refinement, but actual spatial combat techniques remained a mystery to them.

Lin Mu turned his attention toward another asteroid field drifting farther away. Two large asteroids floated nearly in line with one another. The first was wide and irregular while the second remained partially hidden behind it.

’Perfect.’

Lin Mu raised Collapse before throwing it once more.

BOOM!

The spear shot forward like a streak of silver light, tearing through the darkness of space with terrifying speed. The elders instinctively looked toward the nearer asteroid, expecting it to shatter apart.

Yet at the final instant before impact, something changed.

The spear suddenly became ethereal.

Its form blurred strangely as if it no longer fully existed within the same space.

The spear passed directly through the first asteroid without leaving even a scratch behind.

Then a moment later it struck the second asteroid hidden behind it.

CRACK!

The rear asteroid exploded apart instantly.

Meanwhile the first asteroid continued drifting peacefully as though nothing had happened.

The elders stared in shock.

Lin Mu extended his hand and Collapse returned to him instantly through spatial movement.

"Flicker..." he said softly.

His eyes shone brightly now.

The spear had successfully used Flicker.

Not only that, the effect had become vastly stronger.

Normally Flicker could only last for about a second regardless of how much energy Lin Mu used. The skill itself forced a very short duration because of the burden it placed upon space.

Yet now...

Lin Mu focused again before activating Flicker while holding the spear directly.

His body immediately became partially ethereal.

The surrounding fragmented rocks passed harmlessly through him as he drifted forward.

One second passed.

Then another.

Then another.

The elders’ expressions gradually shifted from surprise to disbelief.

Ten seconds later, Lin Mu finally released the skill.

He looked at his hand thoughtfully.

"Ten times longer..." he murmured.

"A skill that can alter Spatial alignment and can turn something intangible?" The Mountain Dwarf elder looked utterly stunned.

"No, this is more. This is dimensional shift." One of them muttered.

"That should not even be possible." Another added.

Lin Mu nodded slowly.

Ordinarily, maintaining Flicker continuously for that long would be impossible because the skill destabilized itself rapidly. Yet with Collapse amplifying the spatial resonance, the technique became far more stable.

Of course, the energy consumption had increased accordingly.

Still, after checking carefully, Lin Mu discovered that the consumption was additive rather than exponential. That meant using Flicker for ten seconds consumed roughly the same amount of energy as activating it consecutively ten times.

That alone was an absurd improvement.

In battle, even a single extra second of invulnerability or intangibility could determine life and death.

Ten whole seconds...

Lin Mu could already imagine countless applications.

He continued testing.

This time he used Phase.

Unlike Flicker, Phase worked differently.

Flicker allowed temporary ethereal movement that could bypass most physical matter entirely. Phase instead shifted one’s body partially out of sync with reality itself. It could pass through ordinary matter freely but remained restricted by barriers and formations.

Lin Mu activated the skill while holding Collapse.

Immediately both he and the spear turned translucent.

He drifted through a nearby fragment effortlessly before emerging from the opposite side.

Lin Mu tested it repeatedly for several minutes.

Eventually he nodded in satisfaction.

There was no major qualitative improvement like Flicker had shown, but the spear still stabilized the technique considerably. More importantly, the energy consumption remained nearly identical to normal usage despite the vastly increased power of the weapon itself.

That alone made it valuable.

The Rune Dwarf elder stroked his beard thoughtfully.

"So the spear strengthens unstable spatial effects more dramatically," he muttered.

"Seems so," Lin Mu agreed.

Then his expression grew slightly more serious.

There was still one skill he was deeply curious about.

Fade.

Among all his spatial techniques, Fade remained one of the strangest.

Unlike Flicker or Phase, Fade did not merely distort one’s position within space.

It temporarily shifted the user into a parallel dimensional layer.

A place that existed beside reality.

Lin Mu had never fully understood that realm even now. Even Xukong did not know what kind of Spatial Realm it was, as it was beyond his senses too.

Lin Mu tightened his grip on Collapse before activating the skill and his figure vanished instantly. The dwarven elders lost sight of him completely. Inside the parallel dimension, Lin Mu looked around calmly.

The world here remained gray and distorted as always. Countless fragmented shadows drifted endlessly through the strange void. unlike when he used it on a world, where there would be solid ground under him, this time there was nothing.

Lin Mu could still feel Collapse clearly.

In fact, the spear’s presence felt stronger here.

The weapon floated beside him naturally as though it belonged within this dimensional layer.

Lin Mu became intrigued.

He hurled the spear forward experimentally.

Collapse flew silently through the parallel dimension without resistance.

Then with a thought, Lin Mu urged it back into reality.
