He's studying some kind of divine art? Bai Jinghong's way of saying hello
The carriage headed towards Yun Province City in the distance.
Li Mo sat in the carriage, flipping through the booklet in his hand.
To be honest...
He felt the investment feedback was absurd and seemed utterly useless.
But you should still watch it.
It was mainly out of curiosity.
Can massage techniques really become Supreme Lore?
"First move, Wandering Through Mountains and Rivers, what mountains? What rivers?"
Li Mo leaned back tactically, greatly shocked.
That's truly Supreme Lore!
If he learns it, he'll be an absolute gem as a technician at the Spring Breeze Pavilion.
Jiang Chulong's eyes were filled with curiosity.
What are you looking at, Big Brother Li?
Unfortunately, just as she was about to lean closer, Big Brother Li wouldn't let her see...
Beside the coffee table.
Ying Bing placed the Heavenly Frost Sword across her lap, a cup of tea in front of her, her eyes slightly lowered.
The Yun Prefecture Martial Arts Summit will undoubtedly produce many martial artists who will become famous Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Four or five of the Hidden Dragon Ranking prodigies alone came, along with many other powerful figures who had been lying low for a long time.
Many prodigies regard Cloud-Crossing Sword City as their debut battle to test their skills against all others.
When masters clash, it's a battle of wills and spirits.
She was certainly not worried about whether she could make it into the top three.
But the Divine Firmament Heavenly Heart Sword emphasizes unwavering advance.
The momentum builds stronger with each passing moment.
It must begin now.
"Eighth move... hiss..."
A gasp of astonishment came from Little Li.
Ying Bing's brows furrowed slightly.
Is he... researching new martial arts techniques again?
"The twelfth move, damn... that's strong! He's a true genius!"
Li Mo was amazed.
Nonsense.
How can someone who isn't a genius develop a massage technique into Supreme Lore?
Ying Bing couldn't help but open her eyes and look at the booklet in his hand, on which was written:
'Flower-Plucking Finger.'
With her insight, it wasn't hard to discern a profound Zen-like quality in the name.
Could it be... a profound Buddhist martial art?
Otherwise, why would he show such an expression of amazement?
Ying Bing's heart tightened.
That's strange.
She had never known what nervousness was.
But seeing the boy's expressions of amazement and sighs, she felt slightly unsettled.
"Who came up with this thing? It's too powerful."
"Even divine skills can't compare."
Li Mo finished watching the Flower-Plucking Finger and sighed.
Don't say it.
He wasn't really interested in this thing at first.
Looking at it now, I can't help but want to learn a few tricks.
"What... are you looking at?"
Ying Bing couldn't help but speak up.
Even when I was studying the Supreme Lore, the Sun Wheel Sword Canon, I never saw him so amazed.
Even divine skills can't compare?
According to the system's assessment, he was already stronger than me; if he were to learn this <Flower-Plucking Finger> technique as well...
"Oh, you mean this?"
Li Mo waved the booklet in his hand:
"A unique Supreme Lore."
"Specializing in massage techniques."
Little Li was a little embarrassed.
I don't know if this massage technique is legitimate or not.
After all, for the sake of a better massage effect, no one was spared touching any areas, whether they should or shouldn't be touched...
No wonder they say not to use it on someone of the opposite sex easily, or they might get it copied.
"Supreme Lore..."
Ying Bing had just breathed a sigh of relief when she realized something was wrong:
"Massage?"
She remembered what the next punishment would be:
[Please let the winner touch you...]
Originally, she had no idea about this aspect.
But not long ago, when the two were sparring with their swords...
The memory of that electric sensation filled her with mixed emotions; her initial anger had dissipated, leaving only a lingering sense of unease.
"Learning this kind of martial art... is a waste of time."
"Don't worry, I'm just watching for fun."
Li Mo smiled.
Is the concern that he might be distracted while learning martial arts, resulting in a jack of all trades and master of none?
Ice Block is actually a pretty nice person.
Wrong.
Little Li noticed a hint of worry between Ice Block's beautiful eyebrows.
What's wrong with her?
[Name: Ying Bing]
[Age: 16]
[Root Bone: Lunar Phoenix Physique]
[Realm: The First Aperture of Divine Observation.]
[Destiny: Red (Born with imperial bones, possessing the life force of Xuanbing, the spirit of Qiushui, and the appearance of Phoenix Heavens )]
[Evaluation: Though fate has brought many tribulations, it has always managed to turn misfortune into good fortune. Its wings are not yet fully grown, but when the times change, it will surely soar high in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, a phoenix descending upon the Six Harmonies and Eight Desolations.]
[Recent situation: Hoping to enter the top three of the Martial Dao Summit, observe Cloud-Crossing Sword Mark, and become the true number one among my peers.]
"Um?"
Li Mo instantly became alert.
The Ice Block is... nervous.
Are there other people of her generation who make her feel inferior?
Are there more experts?
Instantly, Little Li became more cautious about his trip to Yun Province.
Not long after.
Looking up, one sees a magnificent and prosperous city, its grandeur many times greater than the rebuilt Purple Sun Prefecture City, as if it had stood there through the vicissitudes of time.
Today, Yun Province City is even more bustling than before.
"Wow..."
Jiang Chulong poked her little head out, looking around like a curious child.
She never left the palace while she was in the capital.
After arriving in Purple Sun Prefecture City, he rarely went out.
When have I ever seen such a sight?
She was both curious and nervous, and carefully gripped Li Mo's sleeve.
"This city is big, there should be lots of good food."
Li Mo smiled and said, "I'll take you out for something delicious later."
"OK."
Jiang Chulong carefully curled the corners of her lips. "Big Brother Li is so good to me..."
Li Mo: "..."
That silly girl is lucky she ran into me first; if she had met a bad guy, she probably would have been scammed and even helped him count the money.
I wonder how she lived in the palace, so easily trusting others.
Due to the large number of martial arts practitioners who have recently gathered, the number of armored soldiers guarding the city gate has also increased significantly, and they are now strictly disciplined.
Everyone entering the city must undergo inspection.
After the inspection, you only need to pay an entrance fee of one tael of silver to pass through.
"One ounce per person, hiss..."
Senior Brother Ouyang was shocked.
How much money would that cost? It would be enough for him to work himself to death for several years in a single day!
"The martial spirit of Yun Province is far stronger than that of the Eastern Wasteland Domain."
Xu Zhiqing was excited, but also a little nervous.
She was quite dashing and chivalrous in Purple Sun Prefecture, but compared to others here, she was as insignificant as a drop of water in the ocean.
"There are quite a few swordsmen here."
Li Mo nodded and tightened his grip on the Crimson Firmament Sword.
Who dares to say he isn't a swordsman?
The Heavenly Mandate Divine Eye is activated.
Whenever he arrives in a new place, he looks for potential investors.
"Wow, the latest Hidden Dragon Ranking is out!"
"Zhong Zhenyue! He's also on the Hidden Dragon Ranking. I heard he's been fighting against the Calamity Beast on the frontier with his father, Marquis of Southern Suppression. Will he come to Yun Province this time?"
"He's ranked eighty-ninth? I remember the original eighty-ninth was Bai Jinghong, the young hero of Cloud-Crossing Sword City."
"Young Master Bai is now in eighty-one!"
The Hidden Dragon Ranking!
This is the most authoritative Heavenly Pride Ranking the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, published by the Heaven Derivation Sect and ranked according to their battle records.
The Martial Dao Summit is a place where young martial artists can showcase their talents.
Therefore, there are other lists, but the Hidden Dragon Ranking attracts the most onlookers.
"I'll probably never have the chance to make the list in my lifetime."
Senior Brother Shen Yunfei sighed; at his age, it was hard to call him a young talent anymore.
As he spoke, he looked into the distance.
Not only him, but all the other disciples of Clear Abyss Sect also looked over.
"Junior Sister Ying Bing, Junior Brother Li..."
"After the Martial Dao Summit, they will emerge as exceptional talents. Just how amazing will they be?"
"From now on, they will be the true protagonists on the stage of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths..."
They were marveling at it.
"It's Young Master Bai!"
"And Young Hero Cao, Young Hero Wu!"
"The Three Heroes of Cloud-Crossing have come to view the list!"
Suddenly someone exclaimed, recognizing the young swordsman riding a white horse, with a stern face and the air of a master.
And that's not all.
Along with Bai Jinghong were two other prodigies on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, some even ranked higher than him.
People quickly made way for them, after all, they were not only prodigies, but also True Disciples of Cloud-Crossing Sword City.
However.
Just as everyone was marveling at their chivalrous spirit and unparalleled elegance...
Bai Jinghong's gaze suddenly froze.
Thump--
Young Master Bai's pupils constricted as if he had seen some monstrous flood.
Then, as if by reflex, my knees buckled and I collapsed to my knees with a thud.
Everyone: "????"
Li Mo: "..."
He was holding the Star Pestle in his hand, intending to put it into his System Space.
That was awkward.
What if you go to someone's turf and they kneel down for you in front of everyone?
I need help urgently.
Sorry, everyone. muah
