Extreme Weapon Slaughter Body—Didn't He Only Learn Fist Techniques Yesterday?

The next day.

The sky was bright.

In the Martial Arts Hall, Xiao Qin limped inside. His face was pale and his aura weak and unsteady; he was clearly injured.

"Xiao Qin actually dares to come today..."

"He was beaten so badly yesterday. His injuries can't have healed properly yet."

"Sigh, if it were the Xiao Qin from before, he could have beaten Wang Hu until his teeth were all over the ground with one hand. Who knows what happened to him."

"If he's still like this in half a year, he'll probably be asked to leave the Clear Abyss Sect, right?"

Several disciples whispered among themselves, their voices tinged with some regret.

When they saw the brothers Wang Hu and Wang Hao walk in, they immediately shut their mouths.

"You trash, you still dare to come today."

"Very good. I like tough bones who don't shed tears until they see the coffin."

Wang Hu smiled with interest and cracked his knuckles.

Bang—

Dragging his injured body, Xiao Qin practiced his punches one after another, turning a deaf ear to his words.

Junior Brother Li didn't come today?

Looks like he listened to my advice.

Sigh, unfortunately, he had a reason he had no choice but to come.

Half a year. In another half a year, he would be cleared out of the sect.

His qi and blood had declined again and again. He could only place his hopes on fist techniques.

"Senior Brother Xiao, you're injured?"

Hearing the voice, Xiao Qin could not help turning back.

When he saw who had come, he could not help freezing.

"Li Mo?"

Everyone else could not help freezing too.

He really dared to come?

Yesterday, Wang Hu had already put out the word that if Li Mo dared to come again, he would "spar" with him.

Wang Hu had started practicing martial arts and fist techniques very early.

Li Mo could become a true disciple, so his talent was definitely excellent, but after all, he had no foundation in martial arts and had only just begun coming into contact with the martial path.

Could it be that he felt that, as a true disciple, being scared off by an outer sect disciple would make him lose all face?

But if he was beaten until fallen flowers and flowing water, that would be even more embarrassing!

"Good, good, good. Looks like you think I don't dare ask a true disciple for guidance."

Wang Hu narrowed his eyes, shifting his target to Li Mo. Even his aura turned dangerous.

Toward Xiao Qin, he mostly held a teasing mentality.

Toward Li Mo, that was hatred down to the bone.

He raised his head and looked at his older cousin.

"Don't do anything against the rules," Wang Hao said, neither salty nor bland.

"Naturally." Wang Hu grinned.

Meaning, within the rules, he could do whatever he pleased?

He Hongfeng frowned. Could Wang Hu not settle down for once?

These two brothers had entered the sect late. Had they never seen Elder Shang Wu's power?

However, since they had not broken the rules, he could not very well say anything either.

"Stop standing there like posts. Practice your fists!"

The outer sect disciples each began practicing their fist techniques, while Wang Hao taught the newly arrived outer sect disciples the Six Harmonies Fist.

Judging from his movements, they actually carried a hint of seamless ease; clearly, he had several years of attainment in the Six Harmonies Fist.

But at this moment, the people in the Martial Arts Hall were all somewhat distracted from training.

Something might happen in a bit!

"You shouldn't have come."

Xiao Qin's face was grave, his thick brows squeezed together.

"You got beaten yesterday and still came today, didn't you?"

Li Mo smiled, completely unconcerned.

Xiao Qin sighed. "I have my own reasons why I have to go..."

"So do I."

"Huh?"

Xiao Qin froze for a moment, at a loss for what to say.

Indeed, though they had not known each other long, he could tell that Junior Brother Li was easygoing, not the sort who loved to compete and had to fight for every last breath of pride.

"Senior Brother Xiao, take this. Consider it repayment for teaching me yesterday."

Li Mo took out a jade box and handed it over.

"Six Harmonies Fist isn't some peerless divine art, so there's really no—hm?!"

As Xiao Qin spoke, before he had even fully opened the box, his pupils suddenly contracted.

He recognized what was inside.

Profound Crystal!

"Don't make a fuss. Let it remain between you and me."

Li Mo pressed a finger to his lips, signaling for him to keep quiet.

"Junior Brother Li, this... I can't accept this!"

"And a treasure like this has miraculous effects no matter what martial art you use it to train. You should use it yourself!"

Xiao Qin swiftly closed the box, even lowering his voice.

"My constitution is special. I have no use for it."

A touch of sincerity entered Li Mo's smile.

Just now, he had clearly seen a flash of longing in Xiao Qin's eyes, but Xiao Qin had restrained himself.

Not only had he refused it, he had even feared Li Mo did not know the value of Profound Crystal and spoken up to remind him.

Old Xiao was someone worth keeping around.

"That still won't do. This is too valuable."

Xiao Qin's attitude remained firm; he refused to accept it.

"If you feel guilty taking it, then count it as me lending it to you. Just repay me when you have the chance."

"As the first friend I made after joining the sect, if you refuse again, you're not giving me any face, all right?"

Li Mo directly slapped the box into his hand.

"Friend..."

Xiao Qin held the box, standing there in a daze.

In the past, he had also had friends in the Clear Abyss Sect, but that had been when his talent was still there.

Once the halo of genius faded from him and he was demoted from the inner sect to the outer sect, those so-called friends—forget sending charcoal in the snow, it was already good enough if they did not throw stones at him while he was down a well.

And Junior Brother Li had only learned boxing from him for one day.

This Profound Crystal might change his fate!

Because in that instant just now, the jade pendant on his chest had reacted violently.

"Take it, Senior Brother Xiao. Given your situation, you need it," Li Mo urged again.

After struggling for a moment—

"I will never forget this kindness in this life."

Xiao Qin did not launch into a long speech of thanks, nor did he ask why Li Mo believed he would have the ability to repay him in the future.

He merely fixed him with a resolute gaze and cupped his fist firmly.

Everything was said without words.

"Then when I need your help in the future, I won't stand on ceremony."

Li Mo patted his shoulder.

Judging by this brother's gaze, Li Mo reckoned that in the future, Xiao Qin would risk his life for him without even furrowing his brow.

A purple fate.

His bargain master also had a purple fate, and she was now the youngest elder of the Clear Abyss Sect.

One investment would not only earn him the friendship of a future powerhouse, but also a system reward.

A triple win.

He won twice; it was simply like Ice Block eating Sichuan peppercorns—numb from winning.

"They say one more friend means one more road."

"If I keep investing like this, once they grow up, won't I become the person with the most face in all of Great Yu?"

Li Mo could not help letting his thoughts wander, and a classic plot surfaced in his mind.

A true disciple of the Clear Abyss Sect returned home, only to find his old father living in a doghouse.

At his command, a hundred thousand mighty experts tore through the air and arrived...

From now on, please call me Li, wielder of the Face-Face Fruit, Mo.

The image was too beautiful.

Right, there was also the reward.

Xiao Qin still wanted to keep guiding Li Mo in practicing Six Harmonies Fist, but Little Li shook his head and politely declined, merely sitting off to the side.

As he drank tea, he checked the investment feedback.

[Congratulations, host. Successful investment: one Profound Crystal.]

[Investment feedback: Extreme Weapon Slaughter Body]

[Extreme Weapon Slaughter Body (Ultimate Art)]: "Use Weapon Intent to slaughter and temper one's own body, thereby proving an undefeated body of the ultimate path. When the art is accomplished, Ten Thousand Weapons Submit; while the physical body becomes without peer, the power of any weapon used will be multiplied!"

The complete martial art flooded into his mind, and Li Mo instantly knew it so well he could recite it backward.

He closed his eyes and carefully read through the memories.

This was actually a hard-body martial art.

And it could even increase his mastery over weapons!

"This cultivation method uses the killing aura of weapons to temper oneself."

Li Mo began to ponder.

Extreme Weapon Slaughter Body—just hearing the name told him it reeked of killing intent.

But this was absolutely not some crooked heresy. On the contrary, it was an extremely pure, extremely exquisite hard-body method.

It was very dangerous, and also very difficult to master.

But the benefits after mastering it far surpassed that difficulty and danger!

Li Mo decided... he would practice it!

When a man drifts through the martial world, how can he not take a blade?

No matter how good armor was, it could not compare to one's own strength.

For the sake of his own safety, he had to cultivate it successfully.

"Is there any place in the sect where Weapon Intent is especially dense?"

Before he knew it, the Martial Arts Hall had stopped teaching fist techniques.

It was free practice time.

Which meant they could also spar freely.

"Disciple Li, you don't have a woman protecting you today, do you?"

Wang Hu grinned viciously, clenching his fists until they crackled.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his gaze looked as if he wanted to eat the youth opposite him alive.

He Hongfeng felt something was off.

Yet just as he was about to get up and stop it, Wang Hao pressed down on his hand.

"Junior Brother Wang, if something really happens, neither you nor I can bear the responsibility," He Hongfeng said in a deep voice.

Wang Hao narrowed his eyes and sneered. "Relax. My cousin knows his limits. Besides, he's only in the Blood-Qi Realm. If there's any problem, you can stop it at any time."

"As long as it's within the rules, don't interfere."

"Very well."

He Hongfeng hesitated for a moment, then thought that was true.

His Internal Breath had already reached the realm of the great heavenly cycle. As long as he paid a little attention, someone in the Blood-Qi Realm could not possibly stir up any great storm under his nose.

"Wang Hu!"

Xiao Qin moved his feet and actually stood up directly, walking straight toward him.

It seemed he intended to "spar" with Wang Hu first.

Old Xiao was the one to handle matters in town.

But someone was faster than him.

Xiao Qin only heard the wind howl past his ear.

Wang Hu only saw a mass of black shadow rapidly enlarging in his eyes.

It was a fist!

Bang—

Almost none of the outer sect disciples present had reacted yet.

The moment they came back to themselves, they heard a muffled thud.

Wang Hu staggered backward, then finally dropped onto his backside on the ground.

The astonishment on his face had not even had time to fade.

He opened his mouth, but no words came out. The pain beneath his ribs left him unable to breathe.

It felt as if his bones had cracked.

"You're too weak. Sparring with you probably won't teach me much."

Li Mo spoke mildly, the faint smile still on his face.

Beside him, Xiao Qin's jaw had already dropped.

Six Harmonies Fist?

This—this wasn't right. Junior Brother Li had only learned the fist technique yesterday!

And besides, hadn't he only just started practicing? Where had he gotten that much strength?
