In the Small World.

The night was deep and quiet, with clouds flowing around the mountainside, obscuring the view below. Unfortunately, the silence made it seem lifeless.

A Stone Monkey statue stands in the temple, silently watching the clouds and mist flow by.

A gourd flew in from nowhere, and the 'statue' suddenly moved. It reached out, grabbed the gourd, uncorked it, smelled the wine inside, and its eyes gradually became lively.

"Shall we eat something before we start?"

The young man who appeared in the Yin-Yang Dojo had a big smile on his face and was carrying fruit in his hand.

The Stone Monkey remained silent.

Li Mo grinned and sat down next to him.

"I ran into an old lady selling fruit on the street. It was so late and she still hadn't sold out. I bought it all, and she was worried I wouldn't be able to finish it. Tsk, who does she think she is?"

"Once I beat you, I'll take you for a stroll in her peach orchard."

"Hey, drink slowly. If you drink too much, it's hard to say who will win or lose between us."

"Hehe."

A sound that suddenly rang out.

Little Li was taken aback. "So you can talk?"

Previously, the projections of Divine Intent were devoid of emotion, possessing only combat instincts.

In addition, since he occasionally muttered to himself, and Monkey Brother never paid him any attention, he subconsciously assumed that Monkey King was also unable to speak.

The gourd was tossed back into his arms, accompanied by the sound of it peeling away, and the tone he had just remembered:

"Your physical body is quite good, but your spirit is still lacking. Fifty moves, and you'll pass."

"Has it always been like this?"

Li Mo suddenly realized.

The corners of that monkey-like face were slightly upturned.

It seems they found it amusing that this kid's long-standing goal had always been to defeat Him.

"Come!"

With a flick of his wrist, Li Mo had already taken up divine weapons in both hands: the Hammer Treasure and the Heavenly Human Divine Sword.

After reaching a higher level in the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, he was able to wield the Hammer Treasure without using the power of the world.

The Heavenly Human Divine Sword could only be used because his own swordsmanship had reached a certain level, so neither of these can be considered as using external force.

The hammer roars, Settling the Universe the way and determining the fate of the world.

His figure grew several inches taller, a sign that he was activating his profound skill. The power erupting from his dragon-like Qi and Blood and qi was enough to tear apart his Inner Scene field. The profound skill not only strengthens the body, but after it matures, it can also fully mobilize every inch of the physical body.

Therefore, although Li Mo's strength seemed to have increased by only 50%, the force of this hammer blow was actually several times stronger than before.

Clang--

That seemingly unshakeable Sea-Stabilizing Needle showed a barely perceptible tremor.

Of course, this is because the power of the Great Sage's throw was limited to those within the same realm.

Little Li is now completely beyond the comprehension of ordinary people in the Divine Observation Realm.

"It works!"

Li Mo steadied himself, a slight joy in his heart.

Ice Block said that he should make full use of his physical strengths.

His Will Soul originated from the Great Sage Projection. No matter how strong his Divine Intent was, it could only prevent him from being suppressed, let alone gain an advantage. His combat experience was even less of a factor. The only area where he might have an advantage was his physique.

She's right, this is Xiao Li. His physique is stronger than Calamity Beast, his defense is comparable to Mystic Artifact, his hammer technique is divine, his swordsmanship is the culmination of martial arts insights gained over decades, he possesses seven Profound Pills, Karmic Fire true essence, Fallen Star Flame, and he also has Diamond Indestructible, External Incarnation, and the Eight-Nine Arcane Art ability that further amplifies his various strengths...

Which player in the same realm can match his stats?

This hammer blow is the result of sweat and effort! Monkey Head!

Using the force of the recoil, Li Mo's body soared into the air, then crashed down like a meteor. His Qi and Blood ignited the Fallen Star Flame, causing the Hammer Treasure to burst into explosive flames.

It looks like it's splitting Mount Hua in two, but it's actually a Heaven-Slaying Hammer.

With a twist of his wrist, the Great Sage Projection the force of the previous hammer blow.

Then He grasped the weapon and swung it towards the sky.

The energy burst forth, and a resounding, metallic sound echoed far and wide.

Logically speaking, such a powerful force should have leveled the hill, but the ground of the dojo remained completely undamaged.

This is not because the Yin-Yang Dojo is made of special or excessively sturdy materials.

Instead, its power was neutralized, or even absorbed. The long staff curved slightly, using the force against it, and the twisting force instantly cleared away the dust and smoke.

Where the shadows of the sticks blurred, the wind and clouds surged.

Li Mo attacked with both hands, with Hammer Treasure as the main attacker, while the Heavenly Human Divine Sword occasionally darted out from the side.

The weapons clashed back and forth, their sounds shaking the heavens.

This was the first time he had gone toe-to-toe with the Great Sage Projection. In the past, he had always been knocked down by that seemingly insignificant stick, and that was only because the Great Sage Projection was ultimately just a projection, and he had suffered a physical disadvantage.

Turn out to be...

I used to play in training sessions.

His skill level went unnoticed, and he often became complacent because he could defend himself against more attacks, as if he had solved a difficult problem on an exam.

He was completely unaware of the gap between himself and the question setter.

They gained an advantage in every aspect.

His current concern is still how to get through this...

Because until now, He has relied solely on martial arts.

Once Divine Ability are unleashed, the balance of the battle will instantly tip.

"Fifty moves..."

Suddenly, a shadow of a staff appeared in Li Mo's pupils, as if a giant mountain were pressing down on him.

Behind the shadow of the stick were those burning pupils, now filled with an interest that was not there before, and an even stronger sense of oppression.

Block with a hammer?

Counterattack with the sword?

No, it's too late...

Fortunately, the young genius had already developed an instinctive reaction through many sparring sessions, using the Taiyin Will Soul to slow down the force of the staff.

Li Mo's body suddenly shrunk.

Roll on the spot!

To win, isn't it enough to tremble...?

Of course, if there were many people watching, Little Li the Swordsman would definitely be too embarrassed to use this move.

I doubt anyone could have predicted that.

The number one Hidden Dragon in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the number one young man of spirit at the pinnacle of the Divine Observation Realm (except for Ice Block), rolls around like a gourd in a place where no one cares about him.

Little Li rolled over, he didn't just roll around randomly.

After turning over, his body moved like a spring.

The seven Profound Pill within his body spun within the Fallen Star Flame.

True essence and Qi and Blood were perfectly integrated during this tumbling process, and the essence, energy, and spirit were adjusted to their extremes, flowing into the Divine Intent.

"Earth-Slaying Hammer!"

Well, Little Li only muttered it to himself and didn't say it out loud.

Thousands of ravines and gullies, the earth shook and mountains trembled!

The hammer, like a dragon or snake rising from the land, roared and charged straight upwards.

This time it was the Great Sage Projection his power and split Mount Hua, his mighty cudgel striking the hammer.

Hammer Treasure was blocked, but Li Mo flipped back a step, though he was upside down.

A surge of sword light erupted.

A single strand of hair was severed and fell silently to the ground, but it was expected that no one would care, because within the Sword Pellet, hundreds of sword intents emerged, all of which were the sword charms left behind by the Heavenly Human Divine Sword, which were being activated by the Sword Pellet at this moment.

The sword intent flowed like a long river, and Li Mo's figure vanished into it.

"This doesn't seem to be the way I learned it, but..."

As he spoke, he grasped the stick with both hands for the first time:

"That's interesting."

Before he could finish speaking...

Amidst the surging tide of swords, a staff, reaching for the sky and supporting the earth, pierced into the long river, manipulating the sword tide and... the winds and clouds of all directions.

This too is a force, but it overshadows the master of this world and becomes the center of it.

"Until just now, was He still holding back?"

Li Mo suddenly realized.

He simply felt he had grown, so he changed the elementary school questions to middle school questions.

This doesn't mean he's close to their level.

Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to resort to this tactic...

"A monkey stealing peaches!!"
