"Since you've come, you really shouldn't have brought a gift."
"Little Friend Li, please don't say that. This is merely a small token of my appreciation."
Murong Hai had presented his gift without hesitation.
He was glad his grandson was good-natured and got along well with Little Friend Li.
Little Friend Li was definitely more impressive than the heirs of those great sects and cave-heavens in the Eastern Wasteland Domain.
"There's one more thing I'd like to trouble you with."
Li Mo suddenly spoke.
"Go ahead. Ask whatever you like."
Murong Hai was afraid Li Mo wouldn't make any requests.
A moment later.
Murong Hai led Li Mo to the training grounds inside the residence.
Quite a few members of the family were practicing there. When they saw the family head arrive, they stopped what they were doing and bowed.
In the center of the grounds stood a piece of coral stone three people tall.
"This is Whale-Breath Coral Stone. It's considered quite a rare curiosity in the Eastern Wasteland Domain."
"Its only advantage is its sturdiness. It also changes color depending on the force it takes. After being processed with a special technique, it can be used to test the strength of an attack."
Murong Hai pointed at the coral stone as he explained.
"That's rather fascinating."
Li Mo reached out and ran his hand over the rough reef rock.
"I've never tried it before."
Murong Xiao was eager to give it a try. In the past, his strength had been too low to make the Whale-Breath Coral Stone change color.
He didn't waste a moment.
He mustered all his strength and tensed his body. Then he slammed a fist into the stone like a cannonball, his punch bearing more than a little resemblance to the Blacksmith Hammer
