Chapter 18
While sipping tea, Li Mo began to check the investment feedback.
【Congratulations, host! Successful investment: one Xuanjing (玄晶).】
【Investment feedback: "Extreme Soldier's Body" (极兵戮体)】
【"Extreme Soldier's Body" (Secret Technique): "Harness the sharpness of weapons to refine oneself, slay the self to prove an undefeated body in the ultimate path. When the time of success arrives, all weapons will bow in submission, and with an unmatched physical form, any weapon wielded will double in power!"】
The complete martial arts technique flooded into Li Mo's mind, and he instantly memorized it.
With his eyes closed, he carefully read through the memories.
This was indeed a form of horizontal training in martial arts.
Moreover, it could enhance his mastery over weapons!
"This technique requires one to refine oneself with the killing intent of weapons."
Li Mo pondered.
"Extreme Soldier's Body"—just hearing the name, one could sense the overwhelming aura of slaughter.
But this was by no means a sinister path; rather, it was an extremely pure and intricate method of horizontal training.
It was perilous and difficult to master.
Yet the rewards upon completion far outweighed the dangers!
Li Mo made up his mind... to practice!
In the world of martial arts, one must be prepared to face danger.
No armor could compare to the strength of one's own body.
For his own safety, he had to refine this technique.
"Is there a place within the sect where the killing intent of weapons is strong?"
Unbeknownst to him, the martial arts hall had stopped teaching the fist techniques.
It was free practice time.
This meant they could freely spar as well.
"Li Zhenchuan, looks like you don’t have a woman to protect you today, huh?"
Wang Hu sneered, his fists cracking ominously.
His eyes were bloodshot, filled with a hunger to devour the young man before him.
He Hongfeng sensed something was off.
Just as he was about to stand up to intervene, Wang Hao held him back.
"Wang Shidi, if something goes wrong, you and I can’t take the blame," He Hongfeng said in a low voice.
Wang Hao squinted, a cold smile on his face. "Don’t worry, my cousin knows his limits. Besides, he’s only at the Qi Blood Realm. If anything happens, you can step in anytime."
"Within the rules, you don’t need to interfere."
"Fine."
He Hongfeng hesitated for a moment, but then thought it over.
His internal energy had already reached the Great Circulation stage. As long as he was careful, a Qi Blood Realm disciple wouldn’t cause much trouble under his watch.
"Wang Hu!"
Xiao Qin stepped forward, directly approaching Wang Hu.
It seemed he wanted to be the first to 'spar' with him.
Old Xiao had business in town.
But someone was faster than him.
Xiao Qin barely heard the rush of wind beside him.
Wang Hu saw a dark figure rapidly enlarging in his vision.
It was a fist!
Bang—
All the outer sect disciples present barely had time to react.
Just as they regained their senses, a dull thud echoed.
Wang Hu staggered back, finally landing on the ground with a thud.
The shock on his face hadn’t even begun to fade.
He opened his mouth but couldn’t utter a word; the pain in his ribs made it hard to breathe.
It felt like his bones had cracked.
"You’re too weak. Sparring with you, I’m afraid I won’t learn anything."
Li Mo spoke calmly, a faint smile still on his face.
Beside him, Xiao Qin was left speechless.
The Six Harmonies Fist?
This... this can’t be right! Li Shidi just learned the fist yesterday!
And he just started practicing, right? How could he have such strength?

Chapter 16: The Fierce Beauty of the Six Harmonies
The vast martial arts hall fell into a sudden silence.
The outer sect disciples who witnessed this scene thought they were still dreaming.
Li Mo had clearly just learned the fist technique.
Today, he had defeated Wang Hu, the tyrant of the martial arts hall.
And he did it with just one punch, leaving Wang Hu unable to get back up.
Is this what you call a beginner?
Are all the true disciples this outrageous?
On the grandmaster's chair, He Hongfeng's expression shifted.
Having touched the threshold of the Observation Realm, he could see that Li Mo had merely opened a single main meridian.
This progress was undeniably fast, but what surprised him wasn’t that.
Wang Hu was at the Qi Blood Realm with three meridians.
To defeat someone with three meridians using just one was certainly due to Wang Hu underestimating him.
But it also indicated that Li Zhenchuan's mastery of the fist technique far surpassed Wang Hu's!
He had just seen it clearly.
That punch was at least a minor success in the Six Harmonies Fist!
Wang Hao sprang up and quickly reached Wang Hu's side, channeling internal energy to help him regulate his Qi and blood.
His expression had darkened to the extreme.
"Since Li Zhenchuan looks down on sparring with outer sect disciples, then let’s have a go, shall we?"
"Wang Hao, that’s against the rules."
He Hongfeng set down his teacup, cursing under his breath.
You, a disciple who has been in the inner sect for several years, want to spar with someone at the Qi Blood Realm?
Have you no shame?
The other outer sect disciples couldn’t hold back either upon hearing this.
When Wang Hu bullied us, you didn’t say a word.
So it’s only okay for him to win, huh?
"I won’t use internal energy; I’ll suppress my realm to the entry level of the Qi Blood Realm."
"Inner sect disciples seeking guidance from true disciples is within the rules, even if it reaches my master’s ears."
Wang Hao showed no intention of backing down.
He Hongfeng’s face grew darker. Using the floating pagoda to pressure him?
The gap between inner sect stewards and outer sect stewards was far greater than that between inner and outer disciples.
He seemed to think of something and sneered, "Fine, as long as you don’t regret it. Li Shidi, what do you say? If you want to avoid the fight, that’s fine too."
"Heh."
Wang Hao ignored him, his gaze sharp as he looked at Li Mo.
Li Mo narrowed his eyes.
Since they were suppressing to the same realm, it wouldn’t hurt to give it a try.
He had just stepped into the martial path and had never truly fought before.
Moreover, during his earlier bout, an inexplicable surge of battle intent had risen within him. As time passed, this battle intent not only remained but grew stronger like a wildfire.
Thus, in his first real confrontation, he felt no hesitation and fully unleashed what he had learned.
Could this... be due to the Xuanpin Immortal Body (玄牝仙体)?
"Please, teach me."
Li Mo spoke softly.
The crowd was shaken. Li Shidi actually accepted the challenge? He had only been practicing the fist and stepping into the martial path for two days!
If it were with another inner sect disciple, that would be one thing, but Wang Hao seemed approachable, yet he was truly a cunning individual...
As he spoke, Li Mo turned to Xiao Qin, "Could you step aside a bit... huh?"
Where did Old Xiao go?
He noticed that beside him, there was no one left; Xiao Qin had vanished.
Strange, Old Xiao didn’t seem like the type to run away when things got tense.
"Heh, you’re helping him, but he’s already run off."
Wang Hao, fearing that his opponent might back out, clasped his hands behind his back, a smirk playing on his lips.
"Let’s avoid any talk of me bullying the weak; you can go first..."
Whoosh—
Before he finished speaking, the wind from a punch rushed toward Li Mo.
Faced with someone looking for trouble, Li Mo wouldn’t hold back. His back arched like a bow, and his fist struck like a hammer.
He aimed for the three inches below Wang Hao's ribs.
Feeling the fierce wind of the punch, Wang Hao raised an eyebrow, unfazed by the initial intimidation.
Bang—
The two fists collided.
Wang Hao felt his arm go numb from the impact but didn’t retreat. Confident in his combat experience, he immediately began to counterattack.
But what he didn’t expect was that Li Mo appeared incredibly seasoned!
Ignoring the jab aimed at his chest, he instead closed in, his arm like a steel whip crashing down on Wang Hao's shoulder.
The momentum of the punch was relentless, requiring no breath to recover. Minor success in the Six Harmonies Fist?
Wang Hao felt a chill in his heart, but he couldn’t pull back his punch now.
He was also going all out; the force behind this punch had reached the peak of the entry level of the Qi Blood Realm and was perfectly executed.
He could do minor success in the Six Harmonies Fist too!
And...
Hmph.
Wang Hao snorted coldly, retracting his shoulder.
Li Mo’s powerful punch landed on Wang Hao's shoulder, but he felt an invisible force supporting it, just barely stopping it from landing fully.
He himself was pushed back a few steps by a punch to his chest.
Internal energy?
Li Mo exhaled sharply, realizing that his opponent was feigning a lack of strength, but was actually using internal energy.
Yet he said nothing, and his battle intent only grew stronger.
"Come again!"
"Huh?"
Wang Hao was surprised by the kid's resilience, and his internal mockery deepened.
Ultimately, he lacked experience and only had a few tricks up his sleeve.
As the fight dragged on, his weaknesses would be exposed. This time, he was using the same move as before.
If it didn’t work the first time, using it again would not only be ineffective but could also be countered.
In the next moment, his pupils suddenly constricted.
That kid’s fist...
Smack—
