[You combine the Purple Mist Divine Art, the Diamond Indestructible Divine Art, and the Mystic Heart Marvelous Art, and you create the Diamond Glass Divine Art!]

[...]

This epiphany did not yield any heaven-defying techniques for Jiang Li. Rather, it was merely an improvement and refinement based on the existing martial arts from the wuxia world.

[Group member Devourer Lord has uploaded the Grandmaster peak martial art Taiyin Divine Art. Please check the shop.]

[Zombie Taoist: Holy shit, every time Devourer Lord makes a move, it's a royal flush!]

[Little Li Flying Dagger: So many martial arts—how does Devourer Lord manage it?]

[Heaven and Earth Infinite Borrowing Method: @Devourer Lord, boss, are you in a cultivation world?]

[Wudang Centenarian: Devourer Lord might also come from a high-martial world. Otherwise, how could he pull out so many divine arts at once?]

[Inviting Moon: My points are going to zero today!]

A dozen messages in a row shook the group members, leaving them dumbfounded.

Chapter 16: Magnetic Explosion Flowing Light Blade, Domain Power

Early the next morning, the Limit Martial Arts Hall delivered the manuals Jiang Li had purchased.

"Honey, don't call me for dinner tonight. I'm going to study the new manuals!"

After receiving the manuals, Jiang Li couldn't wait to head to the third-floor training hall. He heard Ling Ling give a delicate snort: "Husband, should I lock the door when I sleep tonight?"

"Don't..."

Jiang Li stumbled, nearly losing his footing despite being a Warrior General Level powerhouse. "Honey, don't worry. Your husband is gifted—I'll finish studying them soon!"

"I promise I'll be back in the bedroom!"

"Mm, I'll wait for you."

In the guest room.

Jiang Li looked at the two manuals laid out before him, lost in thought.

"Annihilation is a spear technique, containing the law of light. The Ninefold Thunder Blade is a saber technique. Which weapon should I choose?"

"Forget it, let's analyze these two manuals first."

With that thought, Jiang Li immediately entered a state of epiphany.

As his mental strength grew, he felt his comprehension had sharpened compared to before—at least, it operated very smoothly now.

You comprehend the first layer of Annihilation, grasp the essence of spear techniques, analyze the law of light within it, and gain insight.

[You comprehend the first layer of Ninefold Thunder Blade, grasp the essence of saber techniques, and part of the lightning law. You seem to have an inspiration...]

[You combine the essence of spear techniques with the law of light and the lightning law. Inspiration erupts, and you create Magnetic Explosion Flowing Light Blade.]

"Magnetic Explosion Flowing Light Blade?"

Jiang Li slowly opened his eyes and carefully examined this saber technique. He couldn't help but smile:

"This saber technique not only contains the speed of the law of light but also the destructive power of lightning. Huh... there's even a trace of domain power?"

Jiang Li was pleasantly surprised.

Though that trace of domain was very faint, at least it was there.

"If I could get the complete Annihilation technique, I might be able to comprehend domain power from it."

"Too bad—100 billion Hanxia Currency is too expensive for me right now."

Fortunately, Jiang Li was now a primary-level Warrior General, able to set foot in the wilderness.

If he could hunt a few king-level monsters, 100 billion wouldn't be a problem.

Having made a decision, Jiang Li entered Limit Home again.

Sharp tools make good work.

The wilderness was completely different from the practical assessment. The monsters he would face were more than ten times stronger!

"After deducting the money for buying manuals and donating one-star contribution points, I only have 218 million Hanxia Currency left."

Jiang Li browsed through various weapons, finally settling his gaze on the Blood Shadow series.

"Blood Shadow Battle Blade A7 model, full price 150 million Hanxia Currency. It can fight against lord-level monsters without being damaged!"

"Blood Shadow Battle Sword A7 model, full price..."

Jiang Li felt a bit helpless. These two weapons together would drain all his current funds.

As for armor, protective gear, and combat suits, he didn't even need to browse.

"Backpack, combat communication watch..."

"After the purchase, I still have 7.12 million Hanxia Currency left. Transferring..."

Jiang Li transferred the final seven million Hanxia Currency to Ling Ling's account, then logged out of Limit Home and slipped into bed.

The next moment.

Wandering Snake Breaks Dragon Pool, stirring up wind and clouds!

Early the next morning, the Limit Martial Arts Hall delivered the weapons.

"Brother Jiang!"

Just as Jiang Li finished inspecting the goods, a voice called out from afar. It was Lu Fei, who had taken the assessment alongside him.

"Lu Fei."

Jiang Li smiled and greeted him: "Come in for some tea?"

"No need, Brother Jiang. I came mainly to tell you something—Feng got bullied by an outsider."

Lu Fei got straight to the point, a hint of embarrassment on his rugged face: "I heard the other party is a Warrior General Level. I'm not strong enough, so I wanted to ask Brother Jiang to come to the guild hall and back Feng up!"

"Mm."

Jiang Li nodded, not refusing Lu Fei.

For one, the Limit Martial Arts Hall had always encouraged mutual support among martial artists.

For another, he was also planning to head to the wilderness zone, and getting to know some hunters who ventured out for kills ahead of time wasn't a bad thing.

As evening approached, Jiang Li didn't accompany Ling Ling to buy groceries today. Instead, he headed straight for the Limit Guild Hall.

"Jiang Li?"

"What a coincidence, even you're coming to the guild hall today?"

Seeing Jiang Li, Wu Tong burst into laughter and quickly introduced him to the two people beside him: "Chen Gu, Kong Quan, this is the other genius martial artist I told you about, Jiang Li!"

"Brother Jiang, did you come specifically for me?"

Luo Feng knew that since moving into Mingyue Residential Area, Jiang Li hadn't visited the guild hall even once. His sudden arrival today meant there had to be a reason.

"Lu Fei came to find me."

Jiang Li smiled and greeted the other two: "I was also planning to test my strength and prepare for the wilderness zone."

"This Brother Lu."

Luo Feng's face showed gratitude: "Brother Jiang, thank you!"

"Xiao Feng, don't worry. We'll all stand up for you on this!"

Chen Gu declared firmly: "Damn it, no matter how arrogant those Thunderbolt Martial Arts Hall people get, they wouldn't dare bully us!"

"Luo Feng."

Wu Tong gave a sly smile: "Since Jiang Li's here, why not double the compensation you were asking for before? I'm sure Zhang Zehu won't dare refuse!"

Wu Tong's words left the three of them stunned.

"You two have been in the wilderness zone all year, so it's normal not to know. Luo Feng, have you forgotten the practical assessment that quickly?"

Wu Tong glanced at Luo Feng with a smile, then turned to Jiang Li and asked cautiously: "Jiang Li, you won't mind if I bring up Inspector Lei later, will you?"

"What?"

"Inspector?!"

"From the Thunderbolt Martial Arts Hall?"

Before Jiang Li could answer, Chen Gu and Kong Quan's eyes went wide, staring at Jiang Li in shock.

"I don't know him."

Jiang Li spread his hands and said: "We've only met once."

"Haha!"

Wu Tong threw his head back and laughed: "Jiang Li, don't worry. I won't mention you."

"How would they know whether Inspector Lei came for you or for Luo Feng during the practical assessment?"

!!!

In the reception hall.

The eight members of the Thunderbolt Martial Arts Hall sat on one side, while on the Limit Guild Hall's side, there were over twenty people.
