"I was just thinking about something happy."
Li Mo reined in his smile and cleared his throat. "Did you all not notice that I've broken through?"
Qin Yuzhi studied him seriously for a moment and nodded. "Just broke through, right? Still warm from the effort."
"But isn't it normal for you to break through?"
"The main thing is that the divine intent I observed is quite special, and I've gained a new technique."
Li Mo took a bite of his bun, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.
"What technique?" Shang Wu asked.
"To grow bigger!"
Qin Yuzhi blinked. "That's not so unusual. Many martial arts can make you grow in size. I know quite a few."
"Maybe I've seen your kind before. Show me."
"Then I'll just give it a little try."
Li Mo's expression turned serious as he suddenly shouted.
Whoosh—
It sounded like bones cracking, and the roar of blood surged.
Chaos energy surged up, all rushing toward one of his arms!
"Ha!"
Li Mo exhaled heavily, but his height hadn’t changed at all.
Starting from his right hand, his arm had swollen three times its size, pulsating with wild power!
Hmm...
It ended with his right hand.
He had gained a Qilin Arm.
"And?" Qin Yuzhi could clearly sense that this technique wasn't fully unleashed.
"That's it."
"Pfft... Isn't the whole body supposed to grow? Why just one arm? So ugly, haha..."
Shang Wu covered her mouth, stifling her laughter.
Her precious disciple now looked like some kind of congenital deformity.
"How can you say that!"
Li Mo was not pleased. This was a great divine ability, a power that could shake the heavens and the earth. If you don’t understand, don’t speak carelessly.
He instinctively tried to stand up but found it a bit awkward with his right arm surging with primal power, nearly losing his balance and falling headfirst into the soy milk.
"Hahaha!! You're so funny!"
The beautiful master’s laughter was unrestrained as she pointed at Li Mo while giggling.
"Ugh... I feel like I've seen this before. Wait! I remember now!"
Qin Yuzhi, whose memory was often unreliable, looked at Li Mo's one large and one small arm, and suddenly, a long-buried memory stirred.
"I once saw a powerful warrior from the Martial Refinement Hall who was also a congenital deformity. But instead of two hands, he had two feet—one extraordinarily large and the other shriveled like a baby’s."
"Really?"
Li Mo vaguely felt that this sense of déjà vu was familiar, but he couldn't quite place it.
He did know about the Martial Refinement Hall; Qin Yuzhi had mentioned that the warriors there were all very pure, dedicated to honing their physical bodies, and were incredibly strong.
Though their brains seemed a bit lacking.
Qin Yuzhi continued, "He was born with a disability, but when the ancestral god closed one door, it opened another window for him. This saying fits him perfectly."
"This man had one disabled foot, but the other was exceptionally powerful, so he devoted all his energy to honing that strong foot."
"In the end, he really did forge a powerful martial art!"
"What martial art?" Li Mo asked.
"Heavenly Crippled Foot!"
Qin Yuzhi said seriously, "Just like your situation, he could suddenly make one of his feet grow tremendously. With one stomp, he could shatter mountains—extremely formidable."
"Pfft..."
Li Mo nearly choked on his soy milk.
What the hell is Heavenly Crippled Foot? He was using a power that could shake the heavens and the earth; how could they even be compared?
"Unfortunately, later on, heaven was jealous of his talent."
"He was defeated by someone else?"
"Not exactly. He was secretly plotted against by a cunning sorcerer, who cursed him with a poison that gave his good leg athlete's foot..."
"....."
Li Mo suddenly felt like he didn't want to eat at all.
What the hell, Heavenly Crippled Foot with athlete's foot!
Anyway, the power that could shake the heavens and the earth had definitely never appeared in the world, and he couldn't make sense of it.
He simply transformed back, grabbed his hammer, and stepped out, planning to test his current strength on the Divine Weapon Peak.
Just as he stepped out of the courtyard.
On the second floor, Ying Bing was watching him leave the Qiushui Pavilion, gently closing the window.
Seeing the earlier scene, her martial intuition told her that it was definitely not a martial art similar to the Heavenly Crippled Foot as Qin Yuzhi had described.
It was just that Li Mo hadn’t yet mastered it, which made it appear clumsy and comical.
How strong was Li Mo's physique and power?
Probably, aside from himself, no one understood better than Bing Tuozi.
Even the Divine Hammer's little tyrant found it hard to adapt to such physical strength; how terrifying must it be?
"Seven days... no."
"Only six days left."
She had originally been very confident...

This chapter isn't over; please click to continue reading!
On the mountain path to the Divine Weapon Peak.
Li Mo was climbing up while deep in thought.
"My current physique is still too weak, so the amount of chaos energy is limited, not enough to fill my entire body, and it doesn't last long enough."
"So, let alone transforming into a giant, I can't even enlarge my whole body right now; I can only enlarge parts of it..."
With this thought, Li Mo focused his mind.
He swallowed a six-pattern recovery pill and tried to use the power that could shake the heavens and the earth again.
He clearly sensed that under the nourishment of the chaos energy, one of his legs began to swell, seemingly gaining ten times the strength!
Thud—
The ground trembled. Li Mo hadn’t used any lightness techniques; purely through strength, he shot up like a cannonball from halfway up the mountain to the forging courtyard.
Many disciples of the Divine Weapon Peak showed expressions of astonishment upon seeing him.
But Li Mo had no time to care; he dispersed the power that could shake the heavens and the earth, his eyes shining brightly.
"The divine treasures forged can enhance the physique during the forging process."
"And as long as I master the power brought by the technique, I can make the hand that forges weapons surge with strength at critical moments, increasing the efficiency of forging."
"These two can complement each other!"
"Right..."
As everyone knows, Li Mo had many brilliant ideas, many of which came to him suddenly.
Though he could only enlarge parts of his body, he could control which parts to enlarge!
So he had a bold idea.
He looked down at a certain someone who had been quite arrogant lately. If only...
"!"
Li Mo leaned back slightly, startled by his own bold thought.
Li Mo, what are you planning to do!
...

Chapter 442: Even God Would Find It Reasonable to Control Divine Powers
At this moment, Li Mo was advancing through the passage leading deep into the Fire Vein, his expression very serious.
Why am I having such thoughts?
What has taken away my innocence?
As a gentleman, how could I have such terrifying ideas that even the ancestors of the Hehuan Sect would call impressive?
While Li Mo took out a Hanquan Pill to swallow, this pill could alleviate the heat in his body but couldn’t ease the torment of his conscience!
If the cold fairy, pure and flawless like unblemished white jade, knew what was going through his mind, her gaze would likely not be one of scrutiny but perhaps fear?
She might curl up, hugging her long legs, begging him not to come closer.
"!"
"The influence of the Mingjiao bloodline on me has lasted too long!"
"Indeed, it’s a powerful bloodline that even the Buddhist master of love and death finds hard to resist."
"But then again..."
As Li Mo's thoughts surged, he recalled a certain story from his past life.
God descended and said to a man, "I can grant you three wishes."
The man was delighted and said, "My first wish is for eternal life, and my second wish is for endless wealth."
God replied, "Alright, I have fulfilled all your wishes."
The man said, "But that’s only two, right?"
God said, "Look down."
So this story tells us that even if God came, he would find the man's thoughts reasonable.
"Exactly."
Li Mo sighed in relief, deciding not to try this bold idea just yet. After all, while the Pure Yang Long Robe was made of special material that could adapt to changes in his body without tearing,
it didn’t include his pants.
Ahead, he had reached the depths of the Fire Vein.
Li Mo practiced using the power that could shake the heavens and the earth again, discovering that it was somewhat similar to the indestructible diamond; his current physique couldn’t maintain it continuously.
He could only use it intermittently, and after using the power that could shake the heavens and the earth once, the interval time became longer.
After a while, footsteps echoed in the passage.
