Looks Like You're About to Outpace the System's Progress!
There's one last round in the Hidden Dragon Assembly, but that round doesn't seem so important anymore.
Li Mo has become the only person with a perfect record of victories so far.
Even if he loses another match, it won't affect his place in the top three at all, and he's almost certain to win the championship.
Crown Prince Jiang Yu was defeated by him.
Xie Xuan... If it were a serious fight, Xie Xuan probably wouldn't be able to withstand Li Mo's initial King of Brawling.
Ying Bing... Need I even say anything about Cold Fairy?
Unbeknownst to many, Little Li in the "Hidden Dragon" group, has already defeated all three of the top three Hidden Dragon the same group.
A victory celebration banquet was even held in Cloud-Stepping Tower ahead of schedule.
As the saying goes, "People fear becoming famous, just as pigs fear growing fat," especially according to a source close to the Emperor, it seems that Little Li is likely related to the Emperor.
Otherwise, why would His Majesty praise Li Mo so highly after he defeated Jiang Yu?
Otherwise, why would Jiang Chulong follow him?
This is terrifying to think about!
Regardless of whether it was true or not, many people came to visit with lavish gifts, and most of them sought out Zhong Zhenyue to make introductions.
Old Zhong originally didn't want to bring them along.
But they gave a bit too much.
"Why is the victory celebration banquet being held on the street? It's like a free-flowing banquet, eating in the street, what kind of class do we have..."
"After all, he comes from humble beginnings; it's understandable, it's understandable."
"Hey, you know what, this stuff is actually pretty good. What's it called... barbecue?"
"Eating while sitting on the street is truly authentic."
"I'll have to ask who invented this recipe later..."
"It's Brother Li." Zhong Zhenyue ate his grilled skewers with relish and patted his slightly thicker purse.
"And where is he?"
"That's the one with the grilled skewers."
"???"
In front of the grill.
The renowned idea master of Clear Abyss Sect, the first winner of the Golden Statue Award for Best Actor, the originator of the Barbecue Stratagem, and the only childish person designated by Phoenix Heavenly Empress, what level is he? For things like socializing, he naturally doesn't need to personally take charge.
He has more important things to do.
"Put extra chili on this one, Ice Block's been craving spicy food lately."
"Oh right, she also likes sour things, like barbecue dipped in vinegar... I've got it, how about plum juice!"
Li Mo's face was serious.
While preparing an excuse to go into Ice Block Tuozi's boudoir later, he took the opportunity to check the investment feedback that was yet to be received.
Two of them came from Princess Little Jiang, and one came from Ning Que.
Both are born with a golden destiny, but after the rebirth of his Sword Bone, Little Jiang's golden color is now more intense.
[Investment Feedback: Mithril Heavenly Book Seal]
The Eight-Nine Arcane Art currently only has one chapter, which only contains introductory content, so it should still require the Mithril Heavenly Book Seal.
[Investment Feedback: Lotus Root Cloud-Stepping Boots]
"Is the Great Sage now fully equipped?"
Li Mo thought for a moment and then shook his head slightly. There was still one crucial part missing.
Stick.
The Ruyi Golden-Banded Staff) is also considered part of the set.
"Not knowing staff techniques is easy to solve; with martial arts insights, one's talent for staff techniques is bound to be stronger than for Swordsmanship..."
"But who knows what my nickname will become?"
Thoughts raced through Li Mo's mind, but he felt it was too early to think about these things now.
He felt that the investment feedback from Golden Destiny shouldn't be generated.
Ultimately, I still need to hug those Ice Block legs a little longer.
Should we hug the black one or the white one?
With that in mind, he opened the feedback he had received from Ning Que.
It is a treasure weapon prototype, similar to Mystic Weapon prototype, capable of replicating a treasure weapon version of a divine weapon.
Splash--
A soft splash of water arose, and fair, delicate feet gently kicked away the moonlight in the basin.
Ying Bing pursed her lips, lowered her eyes to look at her knees, where Pearl White Lotus Silk and Black Cloud Gauze were placed, lost in thought.
Why did she agree to that?
I can't remember exactly, but anyway, when Little Li said he wanted them all, she agreed...
[Hint: There are two days left until the next punishment... oh no, the system ranking.]
[Wait, host, what are you holding in your hand?]
"Two very precious materials," Ying Bing said with a cold expression.
[This system strongly suspects that you may be exceeding the system's penalty progress.]
The system seemed somewhat frustrated for the first time, and fell silent after saying that.
I don't know if they're reflecting on their actions or preparing for something bigger next time.
"Ice Block, dinner's ready."
Just then, there was a knock on the door, Little Li peeked out.
"We can only... touch it, that's what we agreed on."
Ying Bing pursed her crimson lips, her narrowed eyes showing a hint of wariness.
"?"
Li Mo was stunned, his mind not quite processing what was being said. What was that?
What else can we do?
"I'm just curious about how that material will look on me. After all, these are my two best works as a blacksmith. Master Craftsman Du once said that you have to touch it with your hands and feel it with your heart."
"You'd better really think that way..."
"Just like you taught me to seal it on my neck."
"..."
After a moment, the speechless Ice Block squinted, feeling the warmth through the white lotus root fibers, its mind and thoughts in complete disarray.
This time he used Pearl White Lotus Silk and Black Cloud Gauze to make socks; what if he made other kinds of clothes in the future?
I remember that in the beginning, the two of them held hands because of practicing martial arts. When they slept in the same bed, her State of Mind was as calm as still water.
But what about now?
