The Big Hammer Eighty, the Small Hammer Forty
Two figures walked out from the dense forest.
The boy's clothes were spotless, and he didn't look like he had gone through any life-or-death trials at all; rather, he looked like he was out for a spring outing.
Behind him followed a towering man, like a bodyguard.
Li Mo casually tossed the watermelon rind on the ground and asked in confusion:
"Old Xiao, Senior Brother Xiao Bao, what's going on here...?"
"Junior Brother Li, this secret realm is fraught with danger, which is why I resorted to this desperate measure."
Xiao Qin couldn't help but give a wry smile.
His teacher taught him this method.
It's better to be covered in Mud Monkey than to be discovered by a powerful, Bone Beast.
So, what's going on with Junior Brother Li?
It seems like they didn't even have to do much to acquire so many Beast Tokens.
"Junior Brother Li, you've come at the perfect time."
"We were just about to go pick the Phoenix Blood Spirit Grass."
Tang Xiaobao gained confidence.
His trump card has been revealed.
Using the 'Combined Technique' with Junior Brother Li, the most powerful Bone Ape would be no threat.
Li Mo looked around and saw the red spiritual herb hidden behind the waterfall.
It then swept past the pile of Bone Apes in front of the waterfall and stopped on the largest one.
Mid-seventh grade?
It is much stronger than the Tree Demon King, and it is not directly countered by the Karmic Fire.
"Give me that mid-stage seventh-rank white bone ape."
The words had barely left his mouth.
The Crimson Firmament at Li Mo's waist suddenly shot out, transforming into a fiery streak that slashed towards the Bone Ape King.
Tie Qi followed closely behind. Along the way, they also encountered strange beasts blocking their path, which need no further explanation.
"Junior Brother Li is still as helpful as ever."
"The gap between me and him is actually widening."
Xiao Qin sighed inwardly.
"Fight the enemy seriously."
The aged voice of the Thousand Forms Martial Venerable rang in my ears:
"With the support of the Phoenix Blood Spirit Grass, I can teach you a complete divine skill."
"The Divine Observation Realm will be your time to truly shine."
"Um."
As Xiao Qin spoke, he had already stepped forward to meet a Bone Ape at the late stage of the eighth rank.
A battle is about to break out.
"Use the sword first."
At this moment, Li Mo's mind was completely focused on nothing else.
No martial art can be mastered by simply studying it in isolation; to truly internalize it, one needs to constantly experience real combat.
He discovered that after actual combat, using his martial arts insights to deduce further would require less insight.
Kendo has always been a major part of his investment in martial arts insights.
But there was nothing he could do about it; this was also the source of his greatest insights into martial arts.
The only option left is to find ways to increase profits.
"Giant Peak!"
Li Mo flicked his sword tip, and countless sword intents condensed on the Crimson Firmament.
Its imposing presence enveloped the entire space in front of it.
He mastered a Higher Vehicle Swordsmanship to perfection.
"Roar!"
The Giant Bone Ape sensed that a tiny creature was provoking it, and immediately became enraged in a human-like manner, forcefully pounding the bones in its chest with a loud thud.
It retaliated sharply with its elbow, smashing back a giant sword formed from its sword intent.
This mid-stage seventh-rank Giant Bone Ape possesses exceptional intelligence. Although it cannot use martial arts like a warrior, it can employ techniques similar to 'fighting arts' and also knows how to use tools.
In an instant.
Little Li, dodged and weaved, using various Swordsmanship to fight the giant ape to a standstill.
The battle on Old Xiao's side was much simpler.
The main reason is that they have Tie Qi, who is a helper in the two apertures of the Divine Observation Realm.
Each halberd not only possessed terrifying divine power, but also carried the life-and-death force of the battlefield.
Half an hour later.
Li Mo finally put all the Higher Vehicle Swordsmanship he had practiced to perfection into actual combat.
Looking at Xiao Qin and the others, they're almost done.
"Relying solely on Swordsmanship, it's still very difficult to defeat an enemy who has surpassed a major realm in a short time..."
"Even using the Sun Wheel Sword Canon, it would be difficult to kill him."
Li Mo stopped in his tracks.
Despite its pitiful appearance and numerous wounds, the giant ape was not actually injured in any vital areas. In fact, it was increasingly ferocious due to Li Mo's constant maneuvering and fighting.
"Roar..."
When the Giant Bone Ape saw that the little insect had stopped moving, a strange smile appeared on its lips.
The fact that this little insect dared to confront it head-on meant it was absolutely afraid of its power.
Is it too tired to run now?
Boom--
He picked up a large blue stone and hurled it at Li Mo's head.
That's about it.
Under strong wind pressure.
Li Mo's robes were disheveled, but he showed no sign of panic.
Instead of retaliating with his sword, he sheathed Crimson Firmament, his left hand drooping slightly, his entire body taut like a drawn bow, all his power concentrated.
To Settling the Raging Waves.
This was a blow that instantly defeated Yin Huacheng.
The Seven Settling the Universe Heaven and Earth is Supreme Lore, but when Little Li used it, it reached a state of perfection.
The air felt thick and viscous, as if a storm was brewing, making it hard to breathe.
The boy's sleeve came flying at me.
No, not the sleeve.
It was a hammer hidden in his sleeve.
The giant ape abruptly stopped its attack, raising its arm to block.
Boom--
An unstoppable hammer blow shattered two skeletal arms with overwhelming force.
"It's quite hard."
Li Mo raised an eyebrow slightly.
The beast's body was indeed much stronger than a human's, and it didn't use the power of the world or any divine weapons.
The Star Pestle is a small hammer, and the small hammer costs forty.
The Calamity Meteor Hammer is a large hammer, and the large hammer is eighty.
If one blow isn't enough, then two blows will do— Young Hero Li.
"Forty!"
Thud--
The hammer hidden in his sleeve fell again.
The Giant Bone Ape stood at attention.
Its head suddenly exploded, and the force even ran through its entire body, reaching the ground and causing several cracks to appear on the ground.
"Martial artists at the Divine Observation Realm may have weaker bodies, but they possess Divine Intent will within them."
"A couple of light taps with the hammer should be enough."
Li Mo stroked his chin and put the Star Pestle back into his System Space.
He lowered his head and casually picked up the Beast Token from the ground. Well, this thing was actually of little use to him now.
Xiao Qin and Tie Qi fell silent as they looked at the traces of Li Mo's recent battle.
No.
Brother Li, why didn't you use this trick sooner?
What was that just now? I didn't see it clearly.
Surely he didn't actually hit her with his sleeve, did he?
Li Mo also noticed.
The pool and waterfall here used to be quite beautiful, but now it's a complete mess.
"Etc!"
Li Mo suddenly remembered that he hadn't picked the Phoenix Blood Spirit Grass yet.
The waterfall was smashed like that, is the spirit herb alright?
Without that thing, you can't make investments.
Li Mo quickly landed in front of the rubble at the bottom of the waterfall and began searching through it.
"Junior Brother Li, what are you looking for?"
"Grass! (a type of plant)"
"Oh, I already picked them."
Tang raised his small hand, revealing the blood-red spiritual herb. He smiled and said:
"While you were fighting, I had already gone to steal the spirit herbs."
"Well done, Senior Brother Xiao Bao!"
Li Mo gave him a thumbs up:
"From now on, no one can say you're stupid."
"That's right, that's right."
Tang Xiaobao happily tilted his head back.
Just then.
The writing in the sky has been changed.
[First level of trial complete.]
[Those who have passed the trial, assemble as instructed.]
Buzz--
In the distance, a beam of light shot into the sky.
