Free Web Novel“Last time, investing in Brother Murong’s six-pattern Qing Xin Pill was worth about as much as a high-grade Martial Art.”
“But this time, the reward is the Ancient Bronze Heavenly Book Seal.”
“Isn’t it better to solve a problem once and for all than to just get by?”
Li Mo thoughtfully caressed the small bronze seal in his palm.
He began searching again on the fifth floor.
There weren’t many high-grade Martial Arts here to begin with, and Hammer Techniques were even rarer.
But half an hour later, he actually found something.
“Ding Feng Bo Twelve Hammers.”
Li Mo brushed the thick dust off the book and saw its name clearly.
It was a high-grade Martial Art, and a short-handled Hammer Technique.
It had twelve forms in total; when Cultivated to Major Achievement, one hammer strike could make the ground shake.
Hmm... freewebnoveℓ.com
If he Cultivated to Transcendent and his Realm was sufficient, could it have the power of Master’s punch?
Li Mo looked at the missing piece of Shenbing Peak, deep in thought.
He continued to flip through.
Then he discovered...
“This Martial Art is only two-thirds complete?”
Upon reaching the eighth form, the Martial Art abruptly stopped.
Xiao Li fell into contemplation.
A moment later, he still picked up the booklet and went downstairs.
Mainly, he didn't have much of a choice at the moment.
He could only take it back first and then figure something out.
He arrived on the first floor.
It was still the same Inner Sect Executive.
“Li Shidi, have you made your choice?”
“Yes, please Senior Brother, help me record it.”
Li Mo handed over the booklet.
“Uh... hmm?”
The Inner Sect Executive took the booklet, and just as he picked up his pen to record it, he paused when he saw the name of the Martial Art:
“Li Shidi, this is a Hammer Technique.”
He seriously glanced at the long sword on Xiao Li’s waist.
It was already common knowledge in the Sect that Li Zhenchuan had obtained Chixiao Sword, which was as famous as Frost Sky Sword, in Shenfeng Cave.
Therefore, many people, including him, believed that.
Even if he wasn't as terrifying as Junior Sister Ying Bing, he was definitely a ‘Sword Dao Prodigy’ in their conventional understanding.
After all, Ying Bing was too frightening; with a wave of her hand, famous swords would fly through the air, lining up to acknowledge her as their Master, which was already beyond the scope of their comprehension.
Conversely, Li Shidi, who relied on his swordplay attainments to pass the Chixiao Sword’s test, was what they imagined a Genius to be.
A Sword Dao Genius chose a Hammer Technique?
“I didn’t choose wrong.”
“He who learns from others’ mistakes can avoid his own, I already have swordplay; by looking at other Martial Arts, I might be able to draw parallels.”
Li Mo shook his head.
He who learns from others’ mistakes can avoid his own?
This ‘learning’ is too far-fetched...
“Although this Martial Art is incomplete, it still consumes one opportunity. Li Shidi, please think carefully.”
The Inner Sect Executive reminded him again.
“Yes, I’ve already seen it.”
“Alright, within one month, please return the Martial Art, Li Shidi, and remember not to spread it externally.”
Seeing that he had not changed his mind, the Inner Sect Executive said no more.
...
At the same time.
In the Sword Dao Arena on Qingyuan Main Peak.
Ying Bing, holding a sword, stepped over the threshold, her plain clothes and the long sword in her arms equally cold and distant.
As soon as she entered the Sword Dao Arena.
Several gazes, like those admiring a treasure, were cast upon her.
“Frost Sky Sword has found its Master again after more than four hundred years; it truly complements each other.”
Qian Bufan exclaimed in wonder.
Xue Jing looked dusty, as if he had just returned from outside the mountain, but his face was filled with an unyielding smile:
“The last time a Mystic Weapon acknowledged a Master in the Sect was fifty years ago. This time, two Profound Weapons have acknowledged Masters simultaneously, and what’s more, they are Heavenly Frost and Chixiao, these two swords.”
“Rare, truly rare.”
“Hmm, Han He, don’t keep a black face. Profound Weapons are placed in Shenfeng Cave for people to use, aren’t they? Besides, a treasured sword fits a hero; they have both met their rightful Masters.”
Elder Han He had been silent ever since he entered the Sword Dao Arena.
Everyone thought he was reluctant to part with the Mystic Weapon, which was why his expression was complex.
“You’ve all said what needed to be praised. I’m not good with words, and I’m too lazy to say any more pretty things.”
Han He gave Xue Jing an annoyed look.
The ‘Mystic Weapon’ part of my Shenbing Peak has been taken away!
“Alright, let us old fellows feast our eyes as well.”
“Just what kind of astonishingly talented person can make Mystic Weapons flock to them.”
Shangguan Wencang spoke gently.
“Good.”
Ying Bing nodded.
A flash of sword light suddenly illuminated the entire hall.
A breeze, from who knew where, blew down the pear blossoms around the Sword Dao Arena.
Everyone unconsciously narrowed their eyes.
Because each petal, as the sword was wielded, began to move on its own, without wind.
Sometimes spreading out, sometimes gathering together.
When ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) scattered, it was beautiful, yet concealed killing intent.
When gathered, the chill was astonishing, and it was incomparably domineering.
Crack—
Suddenly.
Every single petal exploded into ice shards.
“It already possesses a trace of sword potential.”
“Yes, I’m afraid even the creator of Searching Flower Swordplay himself would be far behind if he performed it.”
“I can barely recognize this swordplay; it’s not the swordplay that’s strong, but her.”
...
Everyone exchanged glances, as if waking from a dream.
They finally understood why Frost Sky Sword was so eager to acknowledge her as its Master.
Potential.
This was not something that could be comprehended from high-grade Martial Arts.
Let alone the Qi Blood Realm, even those in the Guan Shen Realm who could glimpse its mysteries were extremely rare.
This indicated that she, in the Qi Blood Realm, already possessed a stronger Martial Dao accumulation than those in the Guan Shen Realm.
Is this what a true Genius is?
The Elders could no longer find words to describe it.
Ying Bing stood quietly, having sheathed her sword.
“Little Bing’er, Li Mo’s swordplay, was it guided by you?”
Xue Jing slowly regained his composure and asked.
“Yes.”
Ying Bing nodded.
“So that’s how it is.”
“Indeed, even with some swordplay attainments, it would be extremely difficult to withstand the test of a Mystic Weapon at this time.”
“However, this also shows that Li Mo is still a promising talent in the Dao of the Sword.”
The Elders looked enlightened.
Only Han He had a complex expression, sighing.
“In the Dao of the Sword, even if I consider myself learned and have read through history, I would probably struggle to find anyone with sword Dao talent comparable to yours.”
Shangguan Wencang, the always strict Sect Master of Qingyuan, couldn’t help but exclaim at this moment.
“There is.”
Ying Bing answered without hesitation.
“Oh?”
“There’s always someone better.”
Ying Bing said softly.
The sword was the weapon she used most skillfully, but it was not her greatest strength.
Moreover, the true Sword Dao Prodigy...
A well-deserved name flashed through her mind again.
“Little Bing’er, how many Meridians have you opened now? Has the icy Qi contained in your Bloodline changed recently?”
Xue Jing suddenly asked.
“Twelve Meridians.”
“The icy Qi... has not changed.”
Twelve Meridians?!!
Old man Xue Jing’s teacup silently slipped, wetting his pants.
In the vast Sword Dao Arena, a pin drop could be heard in an instant.
Then Ying Bing’s supplementary voice rang out:
“Almost thirteen Meridians.”
The Elders had already turned to stone.
Upon hearing this, their petrified bodies almost shattered into pieces on the ground.
It wasn’t just their astonishment at Ying Bing’s Heaven-Defying progress.
It was well known that a Martial Artist in the Qi Blood Realm could at most open twelve main Meridians.
What did she just say?
Thirteen Meridians?
Doesn’t that mean that Ying Bing’s upper limit in the Qi Blood Realm is even more terrifying?
“Little Bing’er, how many main Meridians do you think you can open at most?” frёewebηovel.cѳm
“Twenty-four Meridians.”
Ying Bing said calmly.
Even having made some mental preparations, gasps of cold air echoed throughout the Sword Dao Arena.
Everything they knew about so-called extraordinary talents was nothing compared to this.
...
At the same time.
Not far from Autumn Water Pavilion, in front of a waterfall.
“Hoo...”
Li Mo stopped Cultivating.
In his perception, the Meridians strengthened by Extreme Soldier Slaughtering Body were like coiled dragons, with Qi and Blood seeds, like lotus seeds, surging with powerful strength within them.
“This time Cultivating, I actually opened two Meridians at once.”
Li Mo exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi.
He could feel that his body, which had been overdrawn from forcefully lifting the Panjie Meteor Hammer last time, had completely recovered.
It even had the meaning of breaking through after being broken.
Adding to that, the Mystic Weapon had the miraculous effect of Body Tempering.
That’s why he was able to make two steps of progress in one go.
“Cannot slack off.”
“My Qi Blood Realm has not even reached halfway.”
Xiao Li was happy for a while, then became humble and cautious.
Then he took out the Ding Feng Bo Twelve Hammers from his embrace.
