Lin Mu observed quietly.
It was obvious now that shedding the husk had not simply been a matter of natural growth.
Xukong had deliberately abandoned it.
Without the restrictions of the old shell, his avatar had begun growing rapidly once more. Of course, compared to the true body of the Holder of Space, this size remained insignificant. Yet Lin Mu could still feel the terrifying power hidden beneath that calm exterior.
The surrounding space subtly warped around Xukong at all times. It was as though reality itself naturally bent to accommodate his existence.
Lin Mu did not speak.
He simply waited.
Disturbing Xukong while he cultivated felt unwise. More importantly, Lin Mu respected him far too much to interrupt recklessly.
An hour passed quietly.
Finally, Xukong stirred.
His ten golden eyes slowly opened.
The eyes glowed brilliantly against his bone white body, making him appear almost divine within the dim environment of the ring.
They focused directly upon Lin Mu.
