Something Familiar
A sea breeze blew by, carrying a hint of coolness. The sun rose, and Shi woke up from her sleep. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, exuding a lazy air, and pulled open the lattice door depicting a landscape painting.
The room next door was where Bai Mo rested; the blankets were neatly folded, but she was no longer there.
Looking at the empty room, Shi felt a little empty early in the morning, but the sounds of cooking utensils and the aroma of breakfast coming from outside the door brightened her mood.
Watching the figure preparing breakfast in the kitchen, Shi suddenly understood why some people have a fondness for aprons.
"Are you awake? Breakfast will be ready soon."
Bai Mo sensed the presence of the person behind him but didn't turn around to speak. Hearing these ordinary words, the girl felt genuinely happy about this simple life.
During breakfast, Bai Mo looked at the scene before him and felt a long-lost sense of peace, but it quickly dissipated as he pondered. He was just taking a short rest now, to prepare for going further ahead.
Since the goal remains, we must do what we can still do.
Unlike Shi, who ate slowly and deliberately, Bai Mo quickly finished her breakfast, tossed out a "I'm going to cultivate," and swiftly left. Watching the decisive Bai Mo, she sighed helplessly and said to the corner:
"Looks like we'll have to wait. It's alright, we've already come this far, a few more hours won't make a difference."
In the corner, a long sword trembled slightly, as if responding to a message.
After breakfast, Bai Mo sat cross-legged in his training room. With each breath, tiny drops of blood flowed from his pores. After a long while, he sighed, raised his hand, and Mad Giant Shark appeared.
"I usually use this Mad Giant Shark to temper my muscles and bones, but now that it only has the power of Electric Current Push, the efficiency is a bit low."
Bai Mo sighed, explaining that he rarely used his nights for sleeping. Bai Mo had discovered the remarkable uses of the Mad Giant Shark, a divine weapon that could be integrated into his body, when he first acquired it.
Magnetic Field Power can directly strengthen the body, but to achieve permanent strengthening, time and hard work are required.
In the past, Sea Tiger and Oga used their unparalleled cultivation to strengthen their skulls into the hardest substance in the universe. Even without power, their bodies were almost impossible to destroy, but this was the result of years of hard work.
Bai Mo has been using the Mad Giant Shark to train, Mad Giant Shark has been sharpening every bone in his body with its blades day after day.
If you were to tear open his flesh, you would see his bones, polished to a hard, jade-like luster. Even though Bai Mo can only exert power at the level of Electric Current Push now, his body is still extremely powerful.
Even if a powerful opponent of equal strength were to wield Mad Giant Shark and slash at him now, his bones could withstand nearly a hundred blows, and his skull could withstand thousands.
However, using Electric Current Push current to propel the Mad Giant Shark is now very inefficient.
Just as he was contemplating whether to replace this daily routine with martial arts research, he suddenly felt a chill behind him, as if a cold, sharp blade was pressed against the back of his neck.
Looking back, he saw a long sword that had appeared behind him at some point, floating silently in the air. Although it was some distance away, it gave him a chill.
Isn't that Shiki's sword?
Bai Mo raised an eyebrow. This knife was definitely a divine weapon no less powerful than the Mad Giant Shark. Even in the dark, its ferocious sharpness could not be hidden.
Moreover, for some reason, Bai Mo felt a strange sense of familiarity with this knife, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
The blade was slightly curved downwards, and if the hilt were considered a person's eye, then this blade was now scrutinizing the Mad Giant Shark in Bai Mo's hand with an extremely cold gaze.
The door was pulled open, and Shi walked in carrying a basin of hot water and a wet towel. He seemed to be taken aback when he saw the long sword.
"Didn't I tell you not to disturb him while he's exercising? Talk to him after you're done, why did you come over here on your own?"
As Shi spoke, she placed the hot water next to Bai Mo. Bai Mo then said, "Your divine weapon is truly amazing; it's as if it has a spirit of its own."
Just as Bai Mo uttered these words, the knife flew up automatically, its blade grazing the Mad Giant Shark in Bai Mo's hand, sending sparks flying, as if a wild beast had extended its claws to an intruder.
Just as Shi was about to explain, Bai Mo almost instinctively put the Mad Giant Shark back into his body. The knife slowly floated up, carrying an eerie, resentful feeling, staring at Bai Mo, making him feel a chill.
Then, like a sulking child, the knife turned around and went back to Shiki, pressing against her like a wronged child.
"Pfft." Seeing this, Shi couldn't help but cover her face and chuckle. Then she placed it flat on the wooden floor and explained the whole story to Bai Mo.
"Is this the blade I had before? And there's One-Second Hell inside?"
Bai Mo was stunned. Now he understood why he had a familiar feeling. Looking at the divine weapon again, he saw that it seemed to be angry and had retreated a little.
"Yeah, I was planning to tell you after you finished practicing and had some free time, but you rushed off after breakfast. This kid helped me a lot on this journey, and I was thinking of giving it back to you, but now..."
Looking at the long sword in front of him, Bai Mo couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he quickly shook his head and said:
"It's nothing. Although I'm a little reluctant to part with it, you've taken good care of it, and you've used it for so long, so I feel at ease leaving it with you. As for the One-Second Hell,' don't feel guilty; you've already helped me a lot."
Bai Mo wasn't a petty person, and the Great Blade Martial God had just said it was alright. Moreover, Bai Mo could sense that in just one day, his cultivation had increased by ten thousand units, which might not even match the improvement that Bai Lubao and the Sun and Moon Elders had made with Shi's help this time.
You must be able to take things on, but even more importantly, you must be able to let them go.
Of course, as the horsepower increases, further improvements become more difficult, especially above 900,000 horsepower.
Upon hearing this, Shi shook his head and said:
"That won't do. The child is just angry. Using two won't cause any problems. Since that's the case, we need to work on getting them to work together properly."
As for the One-Second Hell," let's train together again once your strength has recovered.
Shi produced two sword holders from somewhere, then placed his divine weapon on them. The other sword holder was larger, clearly intended for the Mad Giant Shark.
He patted the sword rack, half-pulling Bai Mo onto it and placing the Mad Giant Shark sword on it. Looking at the two divine weapons, both gleaming with a faint cold light, they resembled two ferocious beasts locked in combat.
But as Shi slapped him, the cold light diminished slightly, causing Bai Mo's lips to twitch.
