Reward: Use Your Butt to Hit His Hand
The general outline had just appeared in his mind when Li Mo froze on the spot.
He felt as if he were in a graveyard of weapons.
Among them were knives, spears, swords, halberds, and many other weapons. These were all ordinary weapons, but some of them had a gleaming, menacing quality that even he found unsettling.
A man dressed in linen sat there, his face obscured, his body covered in sword marks.
The fluctuations of the primordial energy of heaven and earth around this person were very faint.
He looked up at the sky, as if he had sensed something.
Buzz--
The moment he acquired a wooden sword, countless swords in the Sword Mound began to resonate, like fish swimming in the void.
He swung his sword toward the sky, his withered body bursting forth with supreme sword intent, as if drawing a world-shaking divine sword from an ordinary scabbard.
One sword is like nine swords, like ten thousand swords, or even more than just a sword.
The void crumbled.
Li Mo felt his mind and spirit tremble violently as he was being manipulated.
That cold glint seemed to pierce his body from across endless time and space.
There is no escaping it, no way to avoid it; all changes are contained within it.
In the Unseen, the general outline flowed through Li Mo's mind.
'The Maiden Returns to the Unknown, the Unknown Returns to the Companion, the Companion Returns to the Great Possession, A Transforms into C, C Transforms into G...'
"Call..."
Li Mo had a slight headache.
The system's method of revealing its True Intention to him was already quite gentle, yet it still placed a tremendous burden on his mind.
If one has not entered the Divine Observation Realm, one would probably lose consciousness directly, just like when receiving the <Karma Fire Red Lotus Technique>.
The Nine Swords of Dugu exhaustively explore the principles of change.
Its profound mystery transcends its status as a Swordsmanship; rather, it embodies a 'principle,' which is simply expressed through the use of a sword.
No wonder it has no rank.
The martial arts evaluation system of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is beyond evaluation!
"I wonder if my martial arts insights are enough to fuel this..."
Li Mo was truly unsure this time.
Despite possessing 780 years of martial arts insights, he surprisingly felt somewhat poor...
For Little Li, who dreams of becoming a swordsman, the "Nine Swords of Dugu" is simply a dream come true.
However, the greatest difficulty in this martial art lies in just one word.
'Enlightenment!'
Now that the opportunity is before him, he can't just stand by and watch.
"Is Ice Block awake yet?"
Every time Li Mo practices swordsmanship with Ice Block, he saves a lot of insights into martial arts.
The room next door.
Sitting cross-legged on the Cold Marrow Jade Bed, Ying Bing continuously used Taiyin to refine her own Will Soul.
She had just opened that acupoint.
There was a tiny figure, sculpted from crystal, shining brightly.
As the Taiyin energy flowed and she continued to observe, the divine patterns on the little figure began to take shape.
Besides the Taiyin Divine Pattern, there were also several bird-like marks, which also appeared and disappeared with the inhalation and exhalation of primordial energy.
This process has been going on all night.
A moment later, Ying Bing opened her eyes and was about to get up when she saw the illusory words floating in front of her.
[You have a reward waiting to be claimed.]
Ying Bing decided to ignore it.
After her previous experience, she didn't want to repeat it...
Suddenly.
[You! Have! One! Unclaimed! Ding! Xia! Reward!!!!]
The system's text was magnified tenfold, as if afraid she wouldn't see it.
Ying Bing: "... No need."
[The host's response contained the word 'needed'.]
[Rewards being distributed...]
Ying Bing became increasingly certain that the system's rewards were definitely not good things.
Fine, I'll just post it then.
This time, she simply ignored whatever it was.
The reward for Ding Xia this time is:
[As a reward, you can slap Li Mo's hand with your buttocks.]
Ying Bing: "?"
Upon seeing this so-called 'reward,' the corners of her beautiful phoenix eyes trembled slightly.
You call this... a reward.
The cold and majestic Phoenix Heavenly Empress was starting to lose her composure.
Any system has a physical entity.
They'd probably all been chopped to dust by her sword by now!
"If I don't do it, the reward won't exist."
Ying Bing's eyebrows relaxed.
She has lost all interest in the system's evaluations and rewards.
Because all the evaluations and rewards are illegitimate!
Ranking rewards are enough.
Just then.
Knock knock—A knock sounds on the door.
"Ice Block, are you awake yet?"
"Time to get up and practice your sword."
Li Mo's voice came from outside.
Oh, right.
She had never practiced the Divine Firmament Heart Sword Canon since obtaining it.
Okay, time to practice swordsmanship!
Ying Bing forgot about the inexplicable system reward, her eyes regained their calm, and she took the Heavenly Frost to open the door.
The moment the door opened, their eyes met.
That handsome face, bathed in the morning light, was smiling.
After he Divine Observation... his demeanor seemed to have changed slightly?
It has to be said.
Li Mo is excellent; he perfectly combines the strengths of both Uncle Li and Aunt Li. In particular, his smile is heartwarming.
If he hits me...
Etc.
Ying Bing was momentarily stunned.
What suddenly occurred to her?
Li Mo, still completely unaware, asked, "Are you feeling better today...?"
A relative who left definitely didn't actually leave.
Some girls have a more severe reaction and experience excruciating pain.
"Uh-huh..."
Ying Bing nodded subconsciously.
What's comfortable or uncomfortable?
Anyway, she's not feeling well right now...
Because that strange feeling seems to affect more than just the mind.
It looks like a little ant is crawling down the tailbone...
This must be a trick involving those so-called rewards!
"Since you're feeling better, let's go have breakfast first."
"Let's eat first, then go practice our swordsmanship."
Li Mo never expected Ice Block to be hypocritical, so he turned around and went downstairs.
When it was time for breakfast, he realized something was wrong.
"Master is sleeping in again."
In the courtyard, Li Mo scratched his chin, then sat down with some freshly steamed buns and mantou.
He had just taken a bite when he realized Ying Bing was still standing there.
"Sit down and eat."
Li Mo felt strangely unaccustomed to it.
His Ice Block aura made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.
Actually...
Ying Bing felt even more uneasy.
She recalled that just now, as soon as she sat down, the feeling became even more overwhelming.
"No, I'll eat standing up."
Are you really alright?
Seeing Ying Bing's tense body and red neck, Li Mo frowned and asked.
"I can!"
Ying Bing took a soft breath and gripped the sword hilt tightly with her delicate hand.
Her icy gaze, like a mirror, regained its resolve.
If her heart is free of worldly desires, then... what does this even mean?
She had experienced even more painful and unbearable things!
When she attained the Dharma Body, it seemed she angered the heavens, and a celestial tribulation erupted, as if to destroy the world and reduce her to nothingness.
She endured that same pain!
All because of that indomitable spirit!
"Bring it on."
Ying Bing drew the Heavenly Frost, its blade gleaming.
Her flowing black hair couldn't hide the light in her eyes!
Li Mo scratched his head.
What's with Ice Block's sudden surge of competitive spirit?
When we practiced swordsmanship, I was always the one who listened to her instruction.
emmmmmm
Perhaps they wanted to test whether he had made any progress.
"I will certainly do my utmost!"
Little Li stood up, biting into his steamed bun.
He possesses the Nine Swords of Dugu (though he hasn't even mastered them yet).
But the high and low points let the Ice Block show off a couple of things!
