Dusk.
“This young man...”
At the courtyard entrance, Uncle Gong watched Luo Mu still practicing his sword, a rare flicker of shock in his eyes.
He had come three times, once in the morning, once at noon, and once in the evening.
He was following the young lady's orders to deliver meals.
When he arrived in the morning, Luo Mu was practicing his sword.
At noon, under the scorching sun, he was still practicing.
Now it was dusk, and he was still practicing!
“His future is bright.”
Uncle Gong nodded slightly and placed the meal aside.
In this world, there were many geniuses, but not many who were so diligent.
Luo Mu was completely immersed in his swordsmanship.
He didn't pay any attention to the outside world.
So he didn't know whether anyone had been here or not.
At some point.
Luo Mu suddenly stopped.
A sound like a bottleneck shattering echoed within his body!
The next second.
Luo Mu's entire aura instantly changed.
A sense of indescribable mystery surged from his body!
He was like a drawn sword.
Filled with a sense of domineering force!
The direction of his blade seemed to be able to cleave through everything!
The surrounding void even appeared to be briefly stagnant.
Huff!
Luo Mu suddenly opened his eyes.
His gaze was like a blade, seeming to contain endless sharpness.
He gripped his sword in both hands.
Without using any power.
He simply swung out a most ordinary slash!
But the artificial mountain in front of him was instantly split in two, and even the courtyard wall not far away trembled violently, with a smooth crack appearing.
“Finally... I’ve comprehended it!”
Luo Mu sheathed his sword and burst into loud laughter.
His laughter was filled with excitement and joy.
Martial Arts Momentum!
The rumored mysterious force!
How many martial artists yearned for this realm!
He never thought that one day, he would be able to touch it, and comprehend it!
“Sword momentum, the formless momentum, can enhance swordsmanship power, and it can also influence the surroundings, intimidating the spirits of others!”
Luo Mu held his sword in front of his eyes.
Reflecting his bright gaze.
In a life-or-death battle, a half-second of hesitation could be fatal. And according to his estimate, once the sword momentum was released, opponents within ten meters of him would be stunned for at least two seconds.
Two seconds.
That would be enough for a person to die four or five times.
“With my current strength, unless the other party also comprehends Martial Arts Momentum, I would be invincible within the True Aperture Realm.”
The corners of Luo Mu's lips curled up slightly.
However, Martial Arts Momentum wasn’t something that just anyone could comprehend.
Even within the Academy, filled with geniuses, only the top Inner Palace prodigies had the chance to possess it.
“It’s just a tenth of Sword Momentum right now.”
“When the Sword Momentum increases, its power will become even stronger!”
Luo Mu lowered his long sword.
He remembered that in the past, during martial arts classes, the teacher had mentioned that for every 10% increase in Martial Arts Momentum, the power would increase exponentially.
“However, I’m afraid that simply practicing the ‘Lifeless Sword Scripture’ won’t be effective anymore in improving the Sword Momentum.”
Luo Mu's eyes flickered.
It was impossible to achieve perfect Sword Momentum by simply relying on one martial skill.
The ‘Lifeless Sword Scripture’ was just one corner of the vast world of swordsmanship. To achieve different swordsmanship insights and increase the Sword Momentum, he needed to practice more sword techniques!
“Forget it, I won’t worry about swordsmanship for the time being.”
Luo Mu shook his head.
It was time to improve his cultivation.
He was still at the True Aperture Realm, second stage, which was indeed quite low.
Fighting above his level was exhilarating.
But wouldn’t it be even better to crush them with superior realm level?
Thinking about this, Luo Mu was about to return to his room to cultivate using the resources he had collected from those Mo Xiu.
However, at this moment.
The courtyard door was knocked on.
He opened the door.
Standing outside was none other than Cheng Qing Man.
“I thought you, this martial arts fanatic, were still practicing your sword. I didn’t expect you to rest.”
Cheng Qing Man said.
“Sorry.”
Luo Mu felt a little embarrassed.
He seemed to have promised to go to Xunyang City today.
But he completely forgot.
“Sorry for what, I was just joking.”
Cheng Qing Man burst into laughter, then walked into the courtyard, “Come, look at the good things I prepared for you!”
Today was not just a simple outing.
Cheng Qing Man's intention was to repay Luo Mu and his two friends.
At that critical moment.
Neither Jiang Hai nor Lin Ru Feng chose to escape.
And Luo Mu, in a display of great power, had slain Mo Luo, ensuring that the Academy's mission would not fail.
Her temperament, like her father’s, was very straightforward.
She would avenge her enemies, and she would certainly repay her debts of gratitude.
Cheng Qing Man took out a jade box from her storage ring.
Even with the lid closed, a rich medicinal fragrance emanated from the jade box, intoxicating the senses.
Luo Mu only had to take a sniff.
He felt his blood begin to heat up, emitting an eager emotion.
It was definitely an extremely high-level cultivation spirit herb!
“This is a third-grade Silver Wen Cao. Although the medicinal power is very abundant, the medicinal properties are extremely gentle. True Aperture Realm martial artists can consume it without worrying about being affected by the medicinal power.”
Cheng Qing Man said.
“Third-grade!”
Luo Mu was slightly stunned.
This was beyond his expectations.
He thought that, like last time, Cheng Qing Man would give him a second-grade pill, which would be quite good.
But it was actually Silver Wen Cao!
Even Spirit Sea Realm martial artists would be very eager for such a cultivation resource!
In the Academy's Exchange Pavilion, it would probably cost hundreds of thousands of contribution points to exchange for it.
“Also, I bought you a storage ring. Although it’s not very large, it’s enough for you to store hundreds of heads.”
Speaking of this, Cheng Qing Man gave a mischievous smile.
They had known each other for a while now.
In her heart, Luo Mu had a 'special fondness' for heads.
“I’ll take the spirit herb, but I’ll pass on the storage ring.”
Luo Mu pondered for a moment, but shook his head.
He liked equal trade.
That way, neither of them owed anything to the other.
But now, Cheng Qing Man’s repayment was far beyond the bounds of reason.
“Brother Luo, you’re still being a stranger. Do you think my life is not worth these things?”
Cheng Qing Man immediately frowned.
She sensed the estrangement in Luo Mu’s words.
“Although Elder Lin was secretly following us, we didn't know, so you saved me, that’s a fact.”
Cheng Qing Man’s words left Luo Mu speechless for a moment.
That did seem to be the case.
“Take it. I, Cheng Qing Man, always repay my debts, and I always repay them generously!”
Cheng Qing Man placed the storage ring in Luo Mu's hand, “By the way, I also had a spirit sword specially crafted for you at the Treasure Refining Pavilion. I’ll accompany you to get it in five days.”
“Spirit sword.”
Luo Mu's eyes flickered.
Weapons in the world are classified as: Ordinary, Refined, Spirit, Heavy, Sacred, and Divine.
Generally speaking, Refined weapons are already quite precious.
Not to mention Spirit weapons.
Unlike Refined weapons, Spirit weapons have a stronger structure and are extremely difficult to damage.
Moreover, Spirit weapons contain special ores or small formations that can increase the power of certain martial skills.
For martial artists of the same level, those who use Spirit weapons are absolutely capable of defeating those who use Refined weapons.
“If you count everything, there are only three things.”
“Don’t think too much about it.”
“Goodnight.”
Cheng Qing Man gave a sweet smile.
Then she turned and left.
The breeze blew, and the young girl's hair fluttered, making the warm summer day seem a little cooler.
“Although, I have a feeling I’m being taken care of by a rich woman.”
Luo Mu looked away and shook his head slightly.
Of course, he didn’t dwell on this issue.
If heaven grants you something, you should not refuse, or you will be punished.
If there was free stuff being handed out, he wouldn’t decline.
