"Brother Li, if you do this, your performance at the Hidden Dragon Assembly might be even worse than if you didn't have the Celestial Sword," Xie Xuan shook his head and said.
The weapons for the Hidden Dragon Assembly are all provided by the Weapon Forging Assembly.
The Celestial Sword was indeed forged by Master Du at the Hidden Dragon Assembly decades ago, which meets the regulations.
However, the appearance of a divine weapon at the Hidden Dragon Assembly is simply too overpowered.
The court even had a discussion about it. Some ministers said that divine weapons must not appear at the Hidden Dragon Assembly as it violates fairness.
Another group of ministers argued that being recognized by a divine weapon is part of one's talent. "His Royal Highness can use the Six - Directions and Eight - Wilderness Seal. Can you say that His Highness has no talent?"
Finally, the two sides reached an agreement.
Let divine weapons fight against divine weapons. Only when the owners of divine weapons face each other can they use the divine weapons for a match.
For example, only when Li Mo competes with Xie Xuan can he use the Celestial Sword.
Li Mo nodded. "It doesn't matter. If I can't win with the sword, I'll fight again with the hammer."
"....." Xie Xuan fell silent.
At this time, Ying Bing put down the teacup and said softly,
"Li Mo has indeed grasped 30% of the sword charm in the Celestial Sword."
"Thirty percent?"
Xie Xuan looked at Li Mo, who was smiling. Suddenly, he felt that the upturned corner of the mouth of the Little Overlord of the Divine Hammer seemed to be saying,
'No way, does anyone really think I have poor talent in swordsmanship?'
"Is it true?"
Old Xie could hardly believe it.
He had come into contact with the Celestial Sword. During the previous Hidden Dragon Assembly, he went to Celestial City once. When he touched the hilt of the sword, he felt an extremely vast sword charm.
Even with his aptitude, he didn't know if he could learn 20% or 30% of it in his lifetime.
But Ying Bing had no reason to lie.
"Have you learned all the swordsmanship of the chivalrous path?"
Du Wufeng was stunned, and his expression froze.
"Master, do you mean the swordsmanship of the ordinary chivalrous?"
"Yes... yes..."
Du Wufeng frowned and stared at Li Mo seriously, as if he was getting to know him all over again.
"What's wrong?"
Li Mo felt a little uneasy under the old man's gaze.
Du Wufeng was silent for a long time and said,
"The Celestial Sword has been forged by me three times. The first time, when the sword was initially completed and became a famous weapon, the broken weapons used in its forging all belonged to well - known chivalrous men in the world. So what I forged into it was the heroic spirit of chivalry."
"The second time, after Su Jun returned from her journey around the world, at this time, she was conferred the title of Sword Armour by the court and had to go to the court every day. When I forged the sword for her again, I forged into it the boldness and the spirit of a scholar."
"For the last time..."
Speaking of this, Du Wufeng paused. Since it involved the private affairs of the royal family, he chose to skip it.
"For the last time, I got a broken weapon that contained the aura of an emperor. Only then did this sword finally become a divine weapon."
Li Mo nodded.
So after the swordsmanship of governing the world, is there the swordsmanship of an emperor?
Du Wufeng's words were not finished yet. His eyes suddenly lit up.
"I have a hunch that during these days in Celestial City, its spirituality has been increasing. In the future... it can be forged again! But I might not be able to do it."
"Do you think I can do it in the future?"
"You kid, you're always lacking confidence in what you're really good at."
With that said, Du Wufeng and Xie Xuan took their leave.
In the room, only Li Mo and Ying Bing were left.
"Little Ice Cube, teach me for a while longer."
"Um..."
"After the teaching, we can dual - cultivate. We can't neglect the cultivation of our realms. I'll also help you relax by the way."
"Then... change my silk stockings for me?"
Li Mo, a young gentleman, was stunned. He just simply wanted to thank Teacher Ice Block, and didn't think about so many things at all.
Well, those were things he would naturally think about later...
But it seemed that Ying Bing had anticipated it.
Ying Bing looked at him with a distant look in her eyes. What's wrong with this childish guy recently? It seemed that he was even more...
So do all boys grow up from being childish and then try to realize all the ideas in their heads one by one?
...
Early one morning several days later.
In front of the Cloud-Stepping Tower, there was a grand and bustling scene.
Today was the Hidden Dragon Conference. Not only the prodigies from all over the world had come, but also their teachers, and other high-ranking sects just coming to watch the excitement, making the broad street extremely lively.
There were more stalls on the street, selling all kinds of miscellaneous things.
"The latest issue of 'The Overbearing Empress Falls in Love with Me'!"
"Do you want to support your favorite prodigy in the Hidden Dragon Conference? Do you want to cheer for him? We have all kinds of cheering items here."
"Buy for over a thousand taels of silver, and we'll give you a hairpin just like the one worn by the Cold Fairy!"
"What Hidden Dragon Conference. It might as well be called the Hidden Dragon Shopping Festival."
Li Mo was in the lobby of the Cloud-Stepping Tower, looking at the bustling market outside.
"Brother Li, we'll go to our master's place first." The Three Heroes of Hengyun had their last free breakfast and then went to see Elder Zeng.
"My master and the others have also come."
Following Murong Xiao's gaze, Li Mo quickly covered his eyes. His titanium alloy dog eyes were almost blinded.
In the crowd, there were many bald heads...
There were also some familiar faces, including the monks he had met in the Southern Border, Divine Monk Huaikong, and a certain Blue Luan clan chief beside him.
Murong Xiao quietly stuffed some delicious snacks into his monk robe.
Just as he was about to run back, Li Mo asked again:
"Brother Murong, how's your understanding of that divine will?"
The Jade Phoenix God contained the divine wills of all races, but they were all from relatively powerful races. To Li Mo's surprise, it actually included that of the Sea Cucumber Clan.
He didn't know why it was recorded there. Could it be because... they were delicious?
Anyway, he had let Murong Xiao take a look at it.
"Now, even ten or eight opponents with similar rankings to mine may not be able to defeat me." Murong Xiao was very proud.
"Good, full of spirit!"
Li Mo just complimented him first.
Just after Murong Xiao left, another person appeared in front of him.
"Yo yo yo, long time no see."
Shang Qinqing's eyes moved down and saw that her Blue Luan Goddess was holding Li Mo's hand with her right hand and clutching Li Mo's big-headed doll with her left hand. She thought she had really come at the right time.
I wonder... how far have they progressed?
"Clan chief, why are you here?"
Ying Bing ignored Shang Qinqing's gaze.
"Everyone else has their elders with them. How can our Cold Fairy not have an elder to back her up?" Shang Qinqing spat out a melon seed shell and said with a smile.
So.
The group set off.
Li Mo, the lucky husband with fighting spirit, walked hand in hand with his Cold Fairy on the main road leading from the Cloud-Stepping Tower to the inner city. He felt as if he was enjoying the beautiful scenery of the capital all at once.
Ying Bing's eyes, with a strange light shining in her clear and quiet pupils, were fixed on the stalls beside the road. Since she went shopping with Li Mo in Qinghe County and learned how to bargain, she had always been quite interested in these small commodities.
But most people were actually looking at her instead.
As they were walking, Li Mo suddenly found that Ying Bing couldn't move forward and was standing still.
"Hey, boss, what's cheering about?" Shang Qinqing asked.
"Just to cheer for the prodigy on the Hidden Dragon Ranking that you support. Look at this," the stall owner pointed at the hat on his head.
There were clearly written words on it: "Ying Bing, Ying Bing, the number one on the Hidden Dragon Ranking! Fairy, fly fearlessly, Ice Fans will always be with you."
"?"
Li Mo found that apart from the hat, there were also small flags, banners, and even... a puppet big-head doll in the shape of an ice block!
Which business genius came up with these small commodities?
"Boss, do you have any for the Little Overlord with the Divine Hammer?"
"I'll look for it. There are more items related to Fairy Han, and they sell better. Do you want to consider joining Fairy Han's fan club?" The stall owner buried his head and rummaged for a long time before he finally looked up.
Then he leaned back slightly.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
rowess are unmatched, commanding a million-strong army! Yet, the Emperor wants to depose him for the sake of a false prince? Hold on, are you throwing me into some female-oriented romance plot? How can I tolerate this? With a grand wave of his hand—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! Slander the Emperor? Very well, all of you shall die! ... The False Prince: "Although I am not the biological son, Father and Mother love me more. The throne should be mine!" The Female Lead: "Qin Xiao, you are the Emperor, and I am a commoner. If you wish to marry me, you must abdicate. Otherwise, you will never have me!" The Empress: "After we divorce, you must give me half the empire!" The Transmigrator Consort: "You worthless Emperor, why should I kneel to you? All men are equal—I advise you to be kind!" The Great General: "The enemy general is my childhood sweetheart. For her sake, I willingly abandon the frontier defenses!" The Retired Emperor: "Although Yu'er was adopted, I prefer him. Qin Xiao, you should abdicate and let him become Emperor!" ... Very well! So this is how you want to play? Facing this twisted world of female-oriented tropes, Qin Xiao grins and raises his hand to unleash—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! I am the Emperor. Why would I bother reasoning with you? Seal the gates! Leave none alive!
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
