Zheng--
The Sword Qi's aura rose from the deep north, clear and pure.
Du Wufeng's eyes flashed with intense light. He saw the young man wielding the hammer strike, and a sword that resembled the Heavenly Human Divine Sword in appearance, yet was different from it, was trembling.
The reason it is described as similar is because it lacks the nobility and sense of order and structure of the Heavenly Human Divine Sword.
It appears even more 'ordinary'.
"A superior-grade Mystic Weapon."
Li Mo remained seated, not immediately expelling the Fallen Star Flame from his body.
His skin began to redden again, then returned to normal after a moment, repeating itself endlessly.
The Hundred Refinements of Divine Treasures and the Eight-Nine Arcane Art were both circulating within his body simultaneously.
A long wind rises.
As the redness faded from Li Mo's skin, the original color of his skin became closer and closer to gold and jade.
The Hundred Refinements of Divine Treasures is a wondrous method used to enhance physical strength during weapon forging, while the Eight-Nine Arcane Art requires enduring tribulations.
This Fallen Star Flame perfectly fulfills both of these requirements.
It was as if he stepped on his right foot with his left to ascend to heaven, causing his physique to transform rapidly, allowing him to complete a journey that would normally take more than ten years for an ordinary person.
All the efforts accumulated over this period have come together at this moment.
Let his physique race towards a whole new level.
The Great Sage Divine Intent emerged behind him, igniting together with the Fallen Star Flame.
Li Mo heard a booming sound coming from his bones and muscles, and a roaring sound of Qi and Blood flowing like a river.
The Eight-Nine Arcane Art.
It was a natural progression, reaching a whole new level.
The flames of the Fallen Star Flame gradually weakened, shrinking from a raging torrent into a dim spark.
"Master Craftsman Du..."
Li Mo regulated his breathing for a moment, then opened his eyes and realized what was happening upon seeing the spark.
The Fallen Star Flame, which had been nourished by the Sword Furnace for a long time, was fine when he was forging weapons, but when he used it to temper his body, most of its fire energy was consumed.
"It's alright, the sword is good, and the young man is good too."
Du the master craftsman was examining the newly forged longsword when he gave it a gentle shake, and Sword Qi instantly arose.
Then he looked at Li Mo, his old eyes showing even greater satisfaction.
"His sword has become Mystic Weapon, and his physique is now comparable to that of Mystic Weapon as well."
The master craftsman was amazed.
Mystic Weapon and his group had seen far too many.
However, people with physiques comparable to Mystic Weapon) are rare.
Excluding those Sixth Realm experts who possess a self- Dharma Body and whose every move embodies the power of heaven and earth, in terms of physical strength alone, probably no one below the Sixth Realm can compare to this kid.
"Thanks to Elder Du's Fallen Star Flame."
Li Mo felt uncomfortable under their gaze. "I have some heavenly materials and earthly treasures here, which should be beneficial for cultivating internal energy."
"Then you can keep it for yourself," Du Wufeng said, waving his hand.
"Huh? What would I do with those...?" Li Mo asked, puzzled.
Tian Shenjiang glanced at Du Wufeng with surprise and suspicion, seemingly understanding his meaning.
"From now on, this Fallen Star Flame is yours. You have a fire within you, but it's better suited for killing enemies than forging weapons."
Du Wufeng said leisurely, "Coincidentally, the Fallen Star Flame and the Calamity Meteor Hammer are a perfect match."
"You gave it to me? What will you use?"
Li Mo didn't react for a moment.
"Hmph, I have more than just this one spark; you don't need to worry about it."
Du Wufeng paused again as he spoke:
"Besides, I originally intended to use this fire to reforge the Heavenly Human Divine Sword, so I won't need it anymore."
As he spoke, he severed his connection with the Fallen Star Flame.
Li Mo immediately sensed that the fire seed in his Dantian had become ownerless. He hadn't expected that Old Du was truly serious about giving it to him.
"Old Du, I have some rare minerals here..."
"I don't need any, I don't need any at all. Countless people are eager to give me gifts."
"That mountain of gold..."
"What would I need so much money for? Tsk, you think I've been wasting my life all these years? You'd be better off cooking me a meal every day."
Du Wufeng remained unmoved and refused all offers of repayment.
But Little Li is a genius; he can always find a way out, even if it's not a solution.
"Well then, you have helped me a great deal, and I have no children. If you don't mind, may Heaven and Earth bear witness!"
How about we become sworn brothers?
Tian Shenjiang: "?"
What's wrong with your head, kid? You'd need at least ten years to have a stroke before you came up with this?
Old Du's seniority is considered extremely high within the Sword Manor; nominally, he is a generation above both Old Du and Master Xie.
"Hey, this is kind of interesting. You're quite a handsome young man, so I'm not at a disadvantage. Alright, alright."
Du Wufeng's eyes lit up. He clapped his hands, put his arm around Li Mo's neck, and was about to burn joss paper with him and pay homage to the Bazi (Buddhist sages).
Tian Shenjiang: "????"
If you don't suffer a loss, what about the others in Sword Manor? What will you and the Manor Master call Li Mo from now on? Uncle?!
Would someone agree to this without suffering a stroke within fifty years?
If it were Du Wufeng...
It really can.
A moment later, Du Wufeng stood on the mountain and waved to Xiao Li:
"Brother Li, take care! Come visit Sword Furnace sometime!"
Watching the carriage depart, Tian Shenjiang slowly said, "You really intend to have Xiao Li reforge the Heavenly Human Divine Sword?"
"Why not? I'm already quite old, do you expect me to go back to the Heavenly Human City?"
Du Wufeng smiled broadly.
"But he has only just forged his Mystic Weapon, isn't that a bit..."
"Man proposes, God disposes. Young men can always do unexpected things. Don't forget, he may seem unassuming, but he's actually the Hidden Dragon Ranking. And the one from the Sword Mound has also given his approval."
Tian Shenjiang fell silent.
After a long pause, Du Wufeng spoke again, this time in a serious tone:
"By the way, stop calling him 'Little Li,' it's disrespectful. From now on, you should call him Uncle Li."
"Go to hell."
On the other side.
The lingering sound of the piano music slowly restored the world to its original colors.
In her previous life, Ying Bing owed a favor to the Penglai Star Sect while searching for the overseas Return Abyss, so she agreed to their request to exchange musical notes.
"The flow of true energy within my body has accelerated..."
"Is she playing 'Phoenix Seeks Phoenix'? It sounds slightly different from the score I've heard. Did she just change it?"
"Master, how good is she?"
"Disciple, what level do I have to be qualified to comment on her?"
"Her swordsmanship is already unfathomable, so why is her music also so extraordinary...?"
The members of the Penglai Sect were stunned, especially when they saw their teachers and elders also going up to ask for their guidance.
Their original intention was to subtly demonstrate the strength of the Penglai Star Sect to Ying Bing, hoping to get her to have a nominal connection with Penglai.
Now, it seems that their team leader is considering going to Clear Abyss Sect.
Is there no one in this world who can win her over?
Midnight.
Cloud-Stepping Tower.
"Ice Block, charge."
In her boudoir, Ying Bing was combing her hair when she suddenly felt a slight heat near her ear. She shrank back and turned to see Little Li looking at her with a serious expression.
You seem to be...
"Hmm, my physique has improved a little, so I'm recharging."
Li Mo made a gesture that resembled a universe at his fingertips.
"What does this have to do with charging..."
Ying Bing's eyes were deep and unfathomable as the system's words flashed through her mind.
Suddenly, I had this feeling that even though I came in first place, I would still have to endure the punishment...
Li Mo thought for a moment and said, "Because I'm going to spar with a very strong opponent tonight."
How strong is it?
"I've been getting beaten up for a month or two."
"That's pretty impressive..."
After a long silence, Ice Block finally believed him, sat in his lap, felt the warmth on his lower back, and discovered that his physique seemed to have improved by a little bit.
I wish I had known this time there wouldn't be any accidents.
I shouldn't have taught him to be so proficient back then.
