Clang!
Sword Qi surged, pure and clear. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Du Wufeng's eyes gleamed with intense light as he watched the young man swing his hammer; a sword, similar in appearance to the Celestial Human Divine Sword but subtly different, vibrated beneath the hammer.
Why similar? Because it lacked the Celestial Human Divine Sword's nobility and sense of perfect regularity.
It appeared more 'ordinary'.
“High Grade Mystic Weapon.”
Li Mo sat still, not immediately expelling the Fallen Star Flame from his body.
His skin began to turn red again, then returned to its original state after a moment, cycling repeatedly.
Divine Treasure Hundred Refinements and Eight Nine Arcane Art were both operating within his body simultaneously.
A long wind surged.
Each time the redness faded from Li Mo's skin, its original color grew closer to golden jade.
Divine Treasure Hundred Refinements was a marvelous method to enhance the Physical Body during weapon forging, while Eight Nine Arcane Art required enduring tribulations.
The Fallen Star Flame perfectly satisfied both conditions.
It was like stepping on his left foot to ascend to the heavens, allowing his Physical Body to transform rapidly, completing a path that would normally take others more than ten years.
All the accumulation from this period converged at this moment.
It propelled his Physical Body towards a brand new Realm.
Behind him, the Great Sage Divine Intent appeared, burning alongside the Fallen Star Flame.
Li Mo heard the roar of his bones and muscles, and the thunderous rush of his blood flowing like rivers.
Eight Nine Arcane Art.
It was a natural progression, reaching a brand new Realm.
The flame of the Fallen Star Flame gradually weakened, shrinking from a surging torrent to a slightly dim ember.
“Divine Craftsman Du...”
Li Mo adjusted his breathing for a moment, opened his eyes, and realized upon seeing the ember. freēwebnovel.com
The Fallen Star Flame, which had been nourished by the Sword Furnace for a long time, was fine during weapon forging, but when he used it for Body Tempering, it consumed more than half of its fire Qi.
“No matter, the sword is good, and the young man is good too.”
Divine Craftsman Du was examining the freshly forged longsword, giving it a slight shake, and Sword Qi immediately emerged.
Then he looked at Li Mo, and the satisfaction in his old eyes deepened.
“The sword has become a Mystic Weapon, and his Physical Body is also comparable to a Mystic Weapon.”
God Smith Tian exclaimed in wonder.
They had seen too many Mystic Weapons.
But people whose Physical Bodies were comparable to Mystic Weapons were rare.
Excluding those sixth-Realm powerhouses who formed their own Law Body and whose every move contained the power of heaven and earth, in terms of Physical Body alone, probably no one below the sixth Realm could surpass this kid.
“Thanks to Du Lao’s Fallen Star Flame.”
Li Mo felt uncomfortable being stared at: “I have some Heaven And Earth Treasure here, which should be beneficial for nourishing the fire Qi.”
“You keep it for yourself,” Du Wufeng said, waving his hand.
“Huh? What would I use those for...” Li Mo was puzzled.
God Smith Tian looked at Du Wufeng in surprise, seemingly understanding what he meant.
“From now on, this Fallen Star Flame will be entrusted to you. You have a type of fire within you, but it is suitable for killing enemies, not for forging weapons.”
Du Wufeng said leisurely: “Coincidentally, the Fallen Star Flame and the Panjie Meteor Hammer are a perfect match.”
“You’re giving it to me? Then what will you use?”
Li Mo didn't react ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ for a moment.
“Hmph, I have more than just this one ember; you don’t need to worry about me.”
Du Wufeng said, then paused:
“Besides, this fire was originally prepared for me to reforge the Celestial Human Divine Sword, so I won’t be needing it anymore.”
With that, he severed his connection with the Fallen Star Flame.
Li Mo immediately felt that the ember in his Dantian had become ownerless. He hadn't expected Du Lao to be so straightforward about giving it away.
“Du Lao, I have some rare Ores here...”
“No shortage, no shortage. Countless people are rushing to give them to me.”
“Then this gold mountain...”
“What do I need so much money for? Tsk, you think I’ve been messing around for so many years? It’s not as practical as someone coming to cook a meal every day.”
Du Wufeng was unyielding, refusing all forms of repayment.
But Xiao Li the Genius always found a way, even if it wasn't the usual way:
“How about this, you old man have helped me so much, and you have no children. If you don’t mind, with the heavens above and the earth below as witness!”
“How about we become sworn brothers?”
God Smith Tian: “?”
How is your brain wired, kid? Could you think of that without ten years of cerebral thrombosis?
Du Lao’s seniority in the Sword Manor was extremely high, nominally even higher than him and Manor Lord Xie.
“Eh, this is quite interesting. You’re also a talented young man; I won’t be at a disadvantage. Good, good.”
Du Wufeng’s eyes lit up. He clapped his hands, put his arm around Li Mo’s neck, and was about to burn yellow paper and become sworn brothers with him.
God Smith Tian: “?????”
You won’t be at a disadvantage, but what about the others in Sword Manor? What will he and the Manor Lord call Li Mo from now on? Uncle?!
Could someone agree to this without fifty years of cerebral thrombosis??
If it was Du Wufeng... he actually could.
A moment later, Du Wufeng stood on the mountain, waving at Xiao Li:
“Li Laodi, take care! Come play at the Sword Furnace whenever you’re free!”
Watching the carriage depart, God Smith Tian slowly said: “Are you really planning to let Xiao Li reforge the Celestial Human Divine Sword?”
“Why not? I’m old; do you want me to enter Celestial Human City again?”
Du Wufeng chuckled.
“But he just forged a Mystic Weapon; this is a bit too...”
“Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Young men always do unexpected things. Don’t forget, he might not seem arrogant, but he’s the Qianlong Ranking Top, and the one in the Sword Tomb has also agreed to this matter.”
God Smith Tian fell silent.
After a long while, Du Wufeng spoke again, seriously:
“Oh, and stop calling him Xiao Li, Xiao Li. That’s disrespectful. From now on, you should call him Uncle Li.”
“Get lost.”
...On the other side.
The lingering sound of the zither allowed the world to slowly return to its original colors.
In her previous life, Ying Bing owed Penglai Star Sect a favor while searching for the overseas Guixu, so she agreed to their request for musical exchange.
“The speed of the True Essence flow in my body has increased...”
“Is she playing ‘Phoenix Seeking Mate’? Why does it sound slightly different from our sect’s score? Did she just revise it?”
“Master, how is her skill level?”
“Disciple, what level am I to even evaluate her?”
“Her Sword Dao is already unfathomable, why is her music also so extraordinary and sacred...”
The people of Penglai Sect were stunned, especially when they saw their Elders also step forward to ask for guidance.
Their original intention was to subtly display the Penglai Star Sect’s heritage to Ying Bing and have her become an honorary member of Penglai.
Now their leading Elder seemed to have thoughts of going to Qingyuan Sect.
Does there really exist no one in this world who can impress her?
...Midnight.
Top of Buyun Tower.
“Ice Cube, charge me.”
In her boudoir, Ying Bing was combing her hair when she suddenly felt a warmth by her ear. She recoiled slightly, then turned to see Xiao Li with a serious expression.
“You seem to...”
“Hmm, my Physical Body has improved a little bit, so I need to charge.”
Li Mo made a gesture of a fingertip Universe.
“What does that have to do with charging...”
Ying Bing’s eyes were deep, and the System’s words flashed through her mind.
Suddenly, she felt as if, even after getting the Qianlong Ranking Top, she would still complete the punishment... Li Mo thought for a moment and said: “Because I’m going to spar with a very strong entity tonight.”
“How strong?”
“I’ve been beaten for a month or two.”
“That’s pretty impressive...”
After a moment of silence, the Ice Cube still believed him. She sat in his arms, feeling the warmth in his lower back, and realized that his Physical Body seemed to have improved by more than just a little bit.
If she had known this time wouldn't be an accident.
Back then... she wouldn't have taught him so thoroughly.
