Chapter 220
Qian Bufan felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.
Clearly,
Xiao Li was far braver than they had imagined.
“If you want to take on the inner realm, come find me!”
Shang Wu, after a drink, didn’t hold back in her strikes.
Xue Jing felt a shiver run down his spine.
The top twenty of the Qianlong List could indeed withstand the might of the inner realm, and the top ten could even face it without losing ground.
But this so-called inner realm didn’t include the strong from the ‘Human List’!
Though Shang Wu hadn’t made it onto the Human List, she could easily overpower the eighth-ranked fighter on that list.
Was this some kind of external elixir she had consumed?
...
On the rooftop.
Not long ago.
Ying Bing recalled what had just happened, her gaze momentarily lost, a sense of weightlessness filling her heart.
She had even lost the thought of counting her money.
Why had she, in a moment of impulse, kissed him?
Though it was just a fleeting touch.
Though she didn’t know.
If it was merely to prevent the system from randomly retracting rewards, she should have been satisfied by now. So why couldn’t her heart find peace?
【Ding Dong——】
【Things come in threes. Given that the host has lost three battles in a row, the system is undergoing self-reflection and iteration upgrade.】
“Three times...”
Ying Bing felt as if she had traveled through time.
Not long ago, she had been so naive, often teasing him—sometimes putting little bugs in her clothes, other times pulling her hair...
Alright, she was still a bit childish now.
But he was already ranked nineteenth on the Qianlong List, and even that was an underestimation. He had become the master of a divine weapon, left his mark on a miraculous stone, and even became a bestselling author...
He was truly making a name for himself.
One day, he would enter the imperial capital and stand before all the prodigies of the world...
Even with a system as miraculous as hers, she...
Oh, the system was upgrading.
This system’s punishments were always a bit unusual.
【The system’s intention is to encourage the host to learn from their mistakes and strive for improvement. Please do not misunderstand.】
The system, in the midst of its upgrade, even took the time to respond to her.
Ying Bing: “.....”
In the silence that followed.
She suddenly heard a voice from below:
“Let’s see if you dare to disrespect your master again!”
Ying Bing froze.
Right.
She hadn’t agreed to let him take action against him...
He wouldn’t have gone to find Shang Wu, would he?
...
Just as the thought crossed her mind, the two elders and Ying Bing realized it had only been a moment ago.
At this moment.
Shang Wu had indeed thrown a punch at that thin layer of golden light.
If that punch shattered the golden light, she would have pulled back most of her strength in time, and her precious disciple would only suffer minor injuries.
However, what she didn’t expect was that.
That fleeting golden light remained completely still.
“Indestructible...”
Li Mo’s eyes reflected the flames, and he could almost see each strand of his master’s hair, the fire lotus faintly appearing behind her, making her look like a celestial being.
Yet he was unharmed.
Even if the indestructible effect, with his current physique, lasted only a moment.
But in that moment.
He had faced his master’s strike head-on with the Observation Realm.
Transforming decay into the miraculous.
This was the essence of divine power!
And this wasn’t even the limit of the indestructible technique.
“.....”
Qian Bufan stood there, dazed, his mind buzzing.
Xue Jing was somewhat better off; after all, the old man had developed a thick skin thanks to this kid, having seen many strange occurrences surrounding Li Mo.
It seemed that no matter how outrageous the situation, it was reasonable when it came to him.
But...
How on earth did this kid manage to do that?
He wasn’t the only one with such doubts.
Upstairs.
“No wonder he wanted me to go all out...”
Ying Bing’s heart skipped a beat, finally returning to normal.
Her realm hadn’t yet returned to its peak, but her vision remained sharp.
The golden light that had just emerged was clearly unrelated to the Taiyin divine intent; it was a strange divine intent she had never encountered before.
They had just cultivated together yesterday.
She hadn’t sensed any unusual divine intent fluctuations from his consciousness.
Was it from the miraculous stone?
He seemed to have been frequently visiting the top of the Sword Tower lately...
A wave of helplessness surged within Ying Bing.
She took out a small purple gourd from her big-headed doll.
With the big-headed doll in her left hand and the small gourd in her right, her clear eyes sparkled.
Should she leave for a while to train in the Southern Wilderness?
【Ding Dong——】
【System upgrade successful.】
【The next system ranking will expand the comparison range to an entire province.】
【While maintaining the original ranking mechanism, the comparison time will be more flexible.】
【The shortest interval is adjusted to half a month, and the longest comparison interval is extended to a year, which can be initiated by the host within the specified time.】
Ying Bing stared at the lines of text, her emotions growing more complex.
She really wanted to win just once.
Just once...
Meanwhile, the senior brothers and sisters who had just come in were also startled by the commotion.
Even though they knew Li Shidi was exceptionally talented, it was still hard to remain calm upon hearing this.
That was Elder Shang Wu!
In the Ziyang Sect, she could stop children from crying at night, and even the sect master had to give her some respect in a fight!
“Li Shidi is tough!”
“Did he use a treasure for protection? Given Li Shidi’s financial resources, that’s quite possible, and I saw a flash of golden light earlier…”
“Did Elder Shang Wu hold back in the end?”
The senior brothers and sisters still felt it was too outrageous.
Who in the Observation Realm could be so absurd?
“Precious disciple.”
Shang Wu suddenly became serious.
“Hmm?”
Little Li returned to his senses.
His master’s expression suddenly turned serious.
“Come here, I need to ask you for a favor.”
“What is it?”
“Once you surpass me, you still have to call me master.”
“......Sure thing.”
Li Mo felt like he had heard this before.

Chapter 236: Princess Jiang’s New Rival, Your Tea is Quite Refreshing
In the World Seed.
“Indestructible can at least withstand attacks at the outer realm level.”
“The stronger my physique, the longer it lasts.”
Our esteemed Tianzun stood before the overturned alchemy furnace, summarizing the results of his recent experiments.
He had seriously tested the indestructible technique and had nearly mastered it.
“I should also find time to practice the Extreme Weapon Body to its transformative state.”
Every additional moment of duration for the indestructible technique was beneficial.
In fact, his physique was already strong enough; he wondered just how robust it needed to be to maintain its firmness at all times.
One shouldn’t be overly ambitious...
Little Li shook his head.
He cleared his mind and glanced at the ever-expanding World Seed, feeling that this small world was becoming too empty.
He had heard that the Taiyin divine intent could manifest a real moon within the small world.
What about the divine intent of the stone monkey?
Just as he was pondering this, Jiang Chulong arrived, holding a small package, hesitating for a moment before handing it over.
“What’s this?”
“Teacher’s Qiu Xi Festival... Qiu Xi Festival gift.”
The Qiu Xi Festival was akin to the Mid-Autumn Festival from his past life, with similar customs, though it occurred a bit earlier.
Opening the small cloth bag, he found several mooncakes inside, each bearing the emblem of the Hengyun Sword City.
Images flashed in Tianzun’s mind.
Little Princess Jiang peeking around at the banquet in Hengyun Sword City, stealthily taking mooncakes from the table when no one was looking, thinking they were dessert.
Li Mo couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Thank you.”
“Teacher is spending the festival alone... it must be very lonely.”
Jiang Chulong understood this feeling well and felt a pang of sympathy.
After celebrating the festival with Big Brother Li, she would spend some time with her teacher.
She envisioned her teacher sitting there all alone.
The solitary Tianzun, let’s not let waiting turn into regret...
“Don’t worry, Teacher... Chulong will definitely... definitely work hard to help you rebuild your body soon.”
“????? ... Well, but you also need to know when to relax and when to push hard.”
Tianzun didn’t quite understand where Little Princess Jiang’s sudden determination was coming from.
But Little Princess Jiang was indeed working hard.
She was clearly on the verge of enlightenment, reaching the brink of the Observation Realm.
However, her questions about the sword path were becoming fewer and fewer.
