The neatly arranged training ground instantly resembled a field plowed several times, with the personal guards scattered within like leaning rice seedlings.
“Zhenyue, are you alright?”
Zhong Ling anxiously ran down the command platform.
She helped Zhong Zhenyue up and examined him from head to toe. Only after confirming he was merely experiencing some Qi and Blood tremors and showed no signs of injury did she finally let out a sigh of relief.
The personal guards were also fine, standing up without a word.
Zhong Zhenyue smiled bitterly, then said irritably:
“Now you know how formidable Brother Li is, don’t you? How can the top ten of the Qianlong Ranking be measured by common sense?”
“It’s eleventh....”
Zhong Ling was actually already convinced. She looked at the young man not far away, who was putting his shirt back on, her eyes filled with shock.
She was in the Guan Shen Realm, and Zhong Zhenyue was also in the Guan Shen Realm. Yet, the two of them, along with a hundred personal guards, were actually defeated by a young man of the same Realm.
He and Zhong Zhenyue were on the same ranking, but their strength was completely on two different dimensions.
“What’s wrong with you today?”
“I didn’t know there was someone who could make you feel so inferior, so I wanted to see for myself....”
Zhong Ling rarely conceded to her younger brother.
She walked up to Li Mo, her expression serious, and said:
“It was my fault just now, being narrow-minded and underestimating you. I won’t call you Wang Qi Dou Hun anymore.”
“No need to be so formal. We just got to know each other through a fight.”
Having seen it with his Tianming Divine Eye, Li Mo felt speechless.
【Name: Zhong Ling】
【Age: 25】
【Bone Structure: None.】
【Realm: Guan Shen Realm, Four Apertures.】
【Destiny: Blue (Innate deficiency, a life full of hardships)】
【Evaluation: Adopted daughter of the Zhennan King, grew up with Zhong Zhenyue since childhood. Their bond is deep and ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) meaningful. For him, she has studied military formations since she was young and is now a master of this Dao.】
【Recent Encounter: Followed Zhong Zhenyue to Qingmu City, hoping to help him challenge ‘Li Mo.’】
“......”
Well, then.
No wonder the brother and sister didn’t resemble each other in the slightest; turns out they weren’t blood relatives.
Zhong Ling chased him from Nanguan (Southern Pass) to Qingmu City, not because she missed her younger brother, but because she wanted to kiss her younger brother!
Looking at Zhong Zhenyue’s completely oblivious expression, Xiao Li felt a bit of sympathy for Zhong Ling for a moment.
“I will go back and study military formations more diligently. I hope next time I can still help Zhenyue challenge you.”
“Of course. To be honest, I was the one who benefited.”
Li Mo agreed.
If not for Zhong Ling, he wouldn’t have been able to grasp the Ya Zi transformation today, and his progress in the Extreme Soldier Slaughtering Body, which had been very slow, also showed a hint of advancement.
He even received investment feedback.
He wished for more challenges like this.
Qu Sheng entered the training ground at this moment, looking at Li Mo with increasing admiration:
“It seems I was overthinking. How could a small Qingmu Camp not be like a fish in water for Little Brother Li, who can penetrate deep into Yao Race territory and return unscathed?”
The expressions of the soldiers and Zhong Ling subtly changed.
They had initially thought that the Qianlong Ranking might have exaggerated, wondering what it meant to “penetrate deep into the Southern Border.” In fact, Qingmu City was already considered deep within the Southern Border.
They never expected this young man to have returned from Yao Race territory.
He possessed strength, boldness, and courage.
“You flatter me. I merely used a trick. It’s incomparable to Commander Qu guarding the frontier city.”
“A trick?”
“I have an Image Mimicking Martial Arts that, when cultivated to a profound level, can make me resemble the Yao Race.”
This was not a secret.
Li Mo felt that Commander Qu should have already known a thing or two from military reports. After all, how could a Guan Shen Realm expert, in their Human Race body, possibly stir up trouble in Yao Race territory?
“Can you even transform into a Disaster Beast?”
“Just now, I felt as if I was facing a Vicious Beast. So it was Little Brother Li’s Image Mimicking Martial Arts.”
“Can Image Mimicking Martial Arts reach such a level when cultivated to a profound stage?”
“Otherwise, why would he be a Prodigy?”
The personal guards couldn’t help but discuss.
If someone had told them such a shocking thing before, who would have believed it?
“Able to transform into a Disaster Beast...” Zhong Ling’s eyes lit up slightly.
Zhong Zhenyue glanced at her and said:
“Brother Li, although I’ve gained some experience, I haven’t fought many Disaster Beasts with powerful Bloodlines. It’s all just theoretical. I wonder if I could ask Brother Li to simulate a Disaster Beast form to help me and the soldiers gain some experience?”
Li Mo nodded: “No problem.” ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
“As for compensation...” Zhong Zhenyue hesitated, glancing at Qu Sheng.
“No compensation needed.”
His straightforwardness stunned everyone, including Qu Sheng.
One more bit of experience against a Disaster Beast meant the soldiers would shed much less blood, and a martial art like Li Mo’s, unheard of anywhere else, likely had no equal under heaven.
The amount of compensation purely depended on how much Li Mo wanted.
“You helped me find someone, and you didn’t ask for compensation either, did you? And to be honest, I’m quite well-off; I don’t lack gold or silver.”
“How can that be the same...?” Zhong Zhenyue didn’t react immediately.
Li Mo smiled: “Favor for favor, it’s naturally the same.”
Investing in Qingmu Camp, a solid eighty thousand people.
And he was only spending some time, acting as a sparring partner.
In fact, even without this investment feedback, he would have agreed.
Qu Sheng paused for a moment, then suddenly burst into hearty laughter:
“Little Brother Li, you truly are the most interesting young man I’ve ever met. It just so happens that today is a rest day. Would you like to have a simple meal in my tent?”
“No, thank you. I still need to go back to the restaurant.”
“Oh?”
Dusk was approaching.
Qingmu Camp had a rest day today. Many soldiers who had been cooped up in the military camp for days either went out to find some entertainment, or, for those who had married and started families locally, went home to their wives, children, and warm beds.
Even the personal guard who drove Zhong Zhenyue’s carriage was off today, with his wife and children waiting in front of the camp.
“Father always said to establish a family before starting a career. When will I also be able to...?”
Zhong Zhenyue’s eyes showed envy.
“......”
Li Mo looked at Zhong Ling beside him and felt that this guy was taking his blessings for granted.
Zhong Zhenyue turned around, somewhat moved, and said:
“It’s good that Brother Li is like me. You said you’re going back to the restaurant, are you planning to drink with me?”
“You’re very aggressive, Old Zhong.”
“Ah?”
Zhong Zhenyue followed Li Mo’s gaze and his expression froze.
Under a tree, a certain Qingluan Goddess was leaning against the large tree, holding a boy with a large head in her hand. Her clothes danced lightly in the wind. She lifted her hand to brush back a strand of hair from her temple, and in doing so, she saw the carriage.
“Li Mo.”
“Why did you come here?”
Li Mo indeed hadn’t expected the Ice Cube to come here.
“You haven’t cooked today.”
“The chef at the restaurant is actually quite good too....”
“It’s not made by you.”
“.....”
Li Mo was silent for a moment, then nodded seriously.
So, the Ice Cube probably trained all day and didn’t eat lunch?
Darn it, wasn’t that a wasted opportunity for investment feedback? The loss was too great!
“Brother Li, is your cooking really that delicious?”
Zhong Zhenyue’s face was serious.
See, even the focus of an oblivious man is so different.
“You’ll know if you try it. Let’s eat together tonight.”
Li Mo pulled Ying Bing into the carriage, his movements very natural. Ying Bing sat beside him. As they passed the candy stall from yesterday, her eyes flickered for a moment, then she looked away.
Zhong Ling pursed her lips, watching the two, then glanced at Zhong Zhenyue’s hand.
“Hmm? Sister Ling, do you want to arm wrestle with me?”
