You're Her Biggest Surprise, Aren't You?

Call--

A wave of heat rolled in, and the Golden Crow Projection was already formed. After it hatched, it transformed into a young man of about twenty years old. He wore a golden and red feather robe, his pupils were like golden suns, and he held a golden wheel in his palm.

"Please... please advise me."

Jiang Chulong spoke softly and gently.

The young man, transformed from the Golden Crow Projection, nodded slightly, suppressing his aura to the Inner Breath Profound Pill Realm.

Call--

The golden wheel gleamed, its light dazzling, and it swept down with overwhelming force, extremely domineering.

Jiang Chulong had mastered many Swordsmanship to a high level, and her mastery of the sword was enough to make many seniors ashamed. So she responded with her most proficient sword intent.

Clang--

Sparks flew when the Peach Blossom Branch collided with the golden wheel.

Jiang Chulong noticed the difference.

The projected opponent seems different from before.

Whether it was those straw figures or True Spirit, when they were suppressed to the same level as her, she mostly used them to hone her Swordsmanship and improve her proficiency in the way of the sword.

But facing this Golden Crow Projection is a true battle.

Princess Little Jiang felt immense pressure from this opponent.

"The fighting spirit born from the combined Power of All Living Beings is so different?"

Li Mo felt it was somewhat similar to playing video games.

The previous True Spirit were like bots, at best stubborn bronze-level players, while the projection formed by the Power of All Living Beings was a battle against the king among True Person players.

Even when using the same hero, some players can only slack off, while others can dominate and kill.

In terms of combat, this is the difference in combat awareness.

And what about myself?

To put it nicely, it's about overwhelming force; to put it bluntly...

"I think I used to just crush everyone with numbers..."

The Heavenly Venerable coughed lightly.

To be honest, in terms of skill, she might not even be as good as Princess Little Jiang.

The ancient yet magnificent Sun-Radiance Golden Wheel swirled up and down, its scorching heat weaving layer upon layer. Jiang Chulong initially tried her best to dodge, but gradually, she had almost no room to maneuver. Helpless, she could only use all her Internal Breath, concentrate her sword intent, and confront it head-on.

However, this move played right into the opponent's hands.

With a whoosh, the golden wheel suddenly flew out from the side, and before the Peach Blossom Branch could pierce the golden Wu Qing youth, it was already wrapped around it, and the scorching masculine energy surged upwards.

Jiang Chulong groaned softly, feeling as if all the moisture in her body had evaporated.

The Peach Blossom Branch was also thrown out of his hand by the strange force emanating from the center of the golden wheel.

"Teacher..."

Jiang Chulong pursed her lips, her face pale, afraid of disappointing her teacher.

"This is the Innate Golden Crow once transformed into the sun, illuminating the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. How could you defeat it so easily? Throughout history, there have probably been very few who could defeat it."

The Teacher Heavenly Venerable helped her pick up the Peach Wood Branch and said softly:

"As long as you don't admit defeat, you've never truly lost."

"This projection will not harm your physical body; it will only cause pain to your Will Soul. Take a good rest and then fight on."

Li Mo was also saying these words to himself.

He rarely engaged in truly evenly matched battles.

Because he could rely on divine weapons and martial arts skills and methods far superior to his peers to bully the weak.

However, Heaven-Equalizing Battle Intent is a method of defeating the strong with the weak.

Only by making the most of everything he has can he improve his understanding of the Divine Intent of the Great Sage Causes Havoc in Heaven.

"Um!"

Jiang Chulong nodded seriously.

Princess Little Jiang may look gentle and weak, but she actually has a strong, indomitable spirit inside.

Before long, they resumed their serious battle against the Golden Crow Projection.

Opportunities in a life-or-death battle are rare, because one defeat means no second chance.

However, in Small World, as long as the Power of All Living Beings is sufficient, they can learn from experience countless times and start over.

After a while, Princess Little Jiang went to recover her Will Soul.

The diligent Golden Crow Projection never has a moment to rest.

What awaits it next is the Heavenly Venerable who has already acquired forty!

The following morning.

"You really can't win without Hammer Treasure."

Li Mo rubbed his temples and got up from the bed where Ice Block had slept.

Nine times, and he lost every single time.

This result was within Little Li's expectations. The combat skills of innate beings are simply beyond the scope of martial arts. Or rather, some martial arts, if traced back to their origins, were probably created based on them.

But he didn't come away empty-handed.

Little Li's already masterful hammering skills seem to have gained a new understanding at this moment.

Besides.

The kidneys are still warm.

"Is this because of the battle with the Golden Crow Projection, or because of the clothes...?"

Looking down, Little Li's handsome face turned red.

Uncle Chen has been so energetic lately; once he arrives, he stays for ages...

Fortunately, the clothes were of good quality; otherwise, given his current physical condition...

No wonder Ice Block said that this outfit couldn't be worn alone for too long. Now that I think back, her eyes at that time clearly held a hint of a half-smile.

"Calm down. I should review the battle now and summarize the details of what just happened."

"If only Ice Block were here, I would learn so much every time I sparred with her... If combat skills had ranks, she would definitely be the queen of queens..."

As Li Mo pondered, that figure involuntarily appeared before his eyes.

Holding the ruler, his cool and aloof expression held a seriousness that gave one the illusion of sanctity.

You should probably change out of these clothes then, otherwise his attention might easily drift from the sacred mission of teaching and instruction to base desires...

Ring ring--

The bell rang.

A girl from the Green Phoenix Clan peeked out from the tree hole and made a gesture as if she wanted to eat.

So Li Mo followed her to the tallest tree.

The Green Phoenix Clan's diet was even more simple and unpretentious than Li Mo had imagined. There was no meat at all, and various fruits were served on the green leaves that served as plates.

"Clan Leader Shang, I plan to return to Greenwood City today."

"So urgent?"

Wu Qing couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Li Mo's best friend had asked him to stay in the Green Phoenix Territory, partly to avoid trouble, but now he's already preparing to leave after only one night...

"Tsk tsk tsk, I knew he wouldn't stay long."

Shang Qinqing chuckled, revealing a profound and unfathomable smile:

"Little Bing is still waiting for him in Greenwood City, how could she not be eager to return?"

Li Mo said seriously, "I mainly have some questions about combat and I'm eager to ask her for advice."

"Little Bing probably spends every day holding her Sumeru Object, staring blankly into the distance."

"???"

"She often did this when she was in the Green Phoenix Territory, like a statue waiting for her husband, staring blankly for a long time."

As Shang Qinqing spoke, she pretended to be heartbroken and wiped away her tears.

Li Mo immediately pictured it and murmured:

"Let's bake her a birthday cake before we go back."

Shang Qinqing blinked and asked:

"Is it her birthday?"

"Hmm, I'm thinking of what kind of surprise to give her..."

"Tsk, you're just as clueless as a little monk."

Shang Qinqing spoke with the confidence of someone who had been through it all, yet her tone also carried a hint of exasperation:

"Aren't you her biggest surprise?"
