As the first light of dawn broke over Qingyuan Main Peak, Li Mo sat at the dining table, bursts of laughter echoing around him. But the laughter seemed… increasingly bizarre?
“Hey, hey, hey… Law of Heaven and Earth, hehehe…”
“Hahahaha…”
“Jiejiejie…”
Shang Wu and Qin Yuzhi wore blank expressions. At first, they suspected that little Li was possessed by some sort of spirit.
But after a serious appraisal by the revered Qin Master, it turned out he was just going a little nuts.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Shang Wu expressed her concern for his mental state.
Qin Yuzhi contemplated for a moment, then seriously said, “He’s been out of it for so many days; is it possible his brain got fried?”
“I just remembered something happy!” Li Mo smirked before clearing his throat, “Haven’t you all noticed? I’ve broken through!”
Qin Yuzhi examined him closely and nodded, “You just broke through, didn’t you? Still warm and fresh.”
“Isn’t it normal for someone to break through?”
“It’s mainly because the divine intent I’ve been observing is rather special, giving me an extra trick up my sleeve.”
Li Mo took a bite of his bun, the corners of his mouth curling up.
“What trick?” Shang Wu asked.
“Getting bigger!”
Qin Yuzhi blinked, “That’s not that impressive. Lots of martial arts can enlarge your body; I know of many techniques.”
“Yours might be something I’ve seen, make it big for me to see.”
“Well, I’ll give it a gentle try.”
Little Li’s eyes grew serious as he suddenly shouted.
Whoosh—
It sounded like bones were cracking, energy roaring.
Chaos energy surged, all rushing to one of his arms!
“Whoo!”
Li Mo exhaled heavily; his height hadn’t changed much.
But starting from his right hand, that arm thickened by three times, surging with ferocious power!
Hmm…
It ended right at his arm.
He had gained a Kirin arm.
“What else you got?” Qin Yuzhi asked, sensing that the trick wasn’t fully unleashed.
Li Mo replied, “That’s all.”
“Pfft… Isn’t it supposed to enlarge your entire form? Why did you only make one arm big…? Hahaha..!”
Shang Wu stifled her laughter with her hands.
Looking at her precious disciple now, he resembled some kind of congenital deformity.
“Watch how you speak!”
Little Li wasn’t happy; this was the Great Sage’s divine power, Law of Heaven and Earth. If you don’t understand, don’t go blurting things out.
He instinctively tried to stand up but struggled to adjust to the churning primal force in his right arm, nearly losing his balance and ending face-first in the soy milk.
“Hahahaha!! You’re hilarious!”
The laughter of the beautiful master couldn’t be contained as she laughed and pointed at Li Mo.
“Hiss… I feel like I’ve seen something like this before. Wait! I remember!”
Qin Master, whose memory wasn’t always reliable, looked at Li Mo’s big and small arms, and a sealed memory suddenly stirred.
“I once saw a powerful practitioner from the Martial Refinement Hall, who was congenitally deformed; except it wasn’t his hands but his legs—one was huge, while the other shrunk like that of a baby.”
“Hmm?”
Li Mo vaguely felt a sense of déjà vu but couldn’t quite place where the resemblance came from.
He did know about the Martial Refinement Hall; Qin Yuzhi had mentioned that the practitioners there were quite pure, dedicated to tempering their bodies—exceptionally powerful.
It just seemed like their brains weren’t all there.
Qin Yuzhi continued:
“He was born with a disability, but the Ancestor God closed one door, only to open a window in return, which really suited his situation.”
“This guy had one leg that was disabled, but the other leg was exceptionally strong, so he devoted all his energy to refining that powerful leg.”
“Eventually, he crafted a formidable martial art!”
“What martial art?” Li Mo asked, intrigued.
“Heavenly Crippled Leg!”
Qin Yuzhi declared seriously, “Just like your situation, he could suddenly make one of his legs gigantic. With a single step, he could crush mountains; it was incredibly formidable.”
“Pfft….”
Li Mo nearly choked on his soy milk.
What the heck is Heavenly Crippled Leg? He was using Law of Heaven and Earth here, was there really a comparison?
“Unfortunately, heaven was jealous of talent.”
“He got beaten by someone?”
“Not quite, he was schemed against by a sly sorcerer who cursed him, giving his good leg athlete’s foot…”
“…..”
Suddenly, Li Mo lost all appetite.
Heck no, Heavenly Crippled Leg getting athlete’s foot!
He figured that with Law of Heaven and Earth and Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, that was definitely not something that had ever been seen before, and the explanation was even more confusing.
So, he decided to revert back, grabbing his hammer and heading out, planning to test his newfound strength at Shenbing Peak.
As he stepped outside the courtyard,
In a window of the upper floor, Ying Bing watched him leave Qiushui Pavilion and gently closed the window.
From what she had just witnessed, her martial arts intuition told her that it definitely wasn’t a martial art like Qin Yuzhi mentioned involving a Heavenly Crippled Leg.
It was simply because Li Mo hadn’t yet mastered it, hence it appeared awkward and comical.
How strong were Li Mo’s physique and strength?
Probably only Ice Chunk could truly understand it.
Even the God Hammer Little Overlord struggled to adapt to the physical power—how terrifying could it be?
“Seven days… No.”
“Only six days left.”
This time, she was feeling very confident…
…
On the path to Shenbing Peak,
Li Mo was climbing up, deep in thought.
“Maybe my physique is just too weak, so the amount of chaotic energy isn’t enough to fill my entire body, and the duration is also too short.”
“So, don’t even think about becoming a giant; I can’t even enlarge my entire body, only parts of it…”
Thinking this, Li Mo had a spark of inspiration.
He swallowed a six-striped pill for recovering Qi and bl**d and tried to employ the Law of Heaven and Earth once more.
He could distinctly sense that under the nourishing of the chaotic energy, one leg began to puff up, seemingly becoming ten times stronger!
Thud—
The ground shook as Li Mo effortlessly leapt upward without any lightness techniques, purely driven by strength, rocketing from halfway up the mountain to the forging yard like a cannonball.
Numerous disciples of Shenbing Peak, upon seeing him, showed expressions of astonishment.
But Li Mo had no time to care; he dispelled the Law of Heaven and Earth and his eyes shone brightly.
“Divine treasures can enhance physicality during forging.”
“And as long as I master the strength from the Law of Heaven and Earth, I can make the hammering hand’s power explode at crucial moments, boosting the efficiency of weapon forging.”
“This can complement each other!”
“Right…”
It’s well-known that little Li often had many crazy ideas, many of which would pop up suddenly.
Though he could only enlarge parts of himself, he could control which parts he made bigger!
So he had a bold idea.
He looked down at a certain very cocky little guy and thought, if only…
“!”
Little Li leaned back slightly, startled by his own audacious thought.
Li Mo, what are you trying to do!
…
