Li Mo returned to his room and opened the bottle. A fragrant aroma filled the air!
Just a whiff of it made him feel invigorated!
Li Mo couldn't wait to take out a pill. It was milky white and had a glossy luster. This must be a top pill!
It melted in his mouth and flowed down his esophagus to his stomach!
Li Mo sat cross-legged and formed a hand seal, activating the Five Elements Vitality!
But in the Liu clan's conference hall!
Second Elder Liu Shixiao was sitting on a mahogany chair with an angry face, listening to Liu Yan's story. Liu Changhe and Third Elder Liu Shiquan were also present, their faces ugly.
Liu Yan's story was over.
Thump!
The table beside Liu Shixiao was smashed into pieces by his palm!
"This bastard!
After staying outside for a few years, he became so arrogant and despotic!
As his grandfather, I failed to teach him well! "
"No need to be angry, Second Elder. Liu Ming is just too competitive. I'll go talk to him later and everything will be fine!"
"Changhe, you don't need to speak up for him. Do you think I don't know what he's thinking?
If it weren't for the fact that your father and mother aren't by his side, I really want to cripple his cultivation! "
"Second brother, you mustn't. Liu Ming is our Liu clan's future. Teach him a lesson, but don't do it!
"Third brother, if Liu Ming had half of Liu Jing's self-restraint, I wouldn't be so worried!"
"Second Elder, I think it's better to agree to the match between Liu Ming and Little Mo. If Liu Ming loses, it will break his competitive spirit. Let him know that there is always someone better out there!
It will also sharpen his temper! "
Liu Shixiao was puzzled by Liu Changhe's suggestion, "But if Little Mo loses?
Wouldn't that be fueling his arrogance even more?
You should know that there is a gap of two levels between their strengths! "
"Second Elder, I don't think Little Mo will lose!
Think about Little Mo's performance on the battlefield. Is that the power a beginner warrior should have? "
Recalling Li Mo's strange sword qi, Second Elder couldn't help but shiver!
After a moment of contemplation, he made his decision.
"Alright, we'll do as you say!
But fists and feet have no eyes. If anything happens to Little Mo, we have to stop this battle immediately! "
"Second Grandpa, Third Grandpa, Father, not only did you not stop them, you actually approved of them!
… "
Liu Yan listened to the conversation of the three people and was so angry that she jumped!
"Haha!
Silly girl, don't worry. Li Mo won't lose! "
"Humph!
If anything happened to Li Mo!
I'm going to ignore you! "
Liu Yan saw the three had already decided, and there was no way she could change her father's mind. She could only pray that Li Mo wouldn't lose as her father said!
Li Mo felt hot all over and his clothes were soaked in sweat!
The pill's effect was amazing. Just one was enough to replenish all of Li Mo's qi. And the pill's energy wasn't even used up. That clear stream of spiritual qi was still flowing through his meridians. It was pure spiritual qi, a hundred times stronger than what Li Mo absorbed in the outside world. There wasn't a speck of impurities in it!
This saved Li Mo a lot of time to refine it!
It turned into internal qi and flowed into his dantian.
As the pill's effect faded, Li Mo's internal qi in his dantian was purer and more profound than before. His meridians were wider and he entered the ranks of an intermediate warrior!
Hu!
Exhaling, Li Mo opened his eyes!
He couldn't help but be happy to see his breakthrough!
But he was even more grateful to Liu Shizhong!
"This pill isn't as simple as master said!"
Li Mo didn't stop cultivating just because he broke through!
He took out his longsword and walked towards the courtyard. He still had to familiarize himself with the moves of 'Burning Sun Fist' and 'Azure Dragon Sword Art'. These were his signature moves, especially the 'Azure Dragon Sword Art', which was used for long-range attacks. It was practically invincible!
Liu Shizhong watched through the window as Li Mo practiced Burning Sun Fist's moves over and over again, sweating profusely!
He was even more skilled than before!
His punches were several times faster and stronger than before!
His heart was comforted!
The 'Qi Replenishing Powder' was something Liu Shizhong had obtained from an auction many years ago when he was out traveling. There were only five pills in a bottle. Although the name of the pill was very ordinary, its effect was extremely high. It could instantly restore the inner strength of experts below the Martial Master realm. In the Mysterious Continent, which lacked alchemists, it was a rare pill that could increase inner strength!
Who would've thought Li Mo would also break through to the intermediate warrior level!
"Li Mo!"
Liu Yan's voice cut off Li Mo's practice!
"What's wrong?"
Li Mo was touched by Liu Yan's protection of him in front of Liu Ming. His impression of this lass grew!
"Do you have time?
I have something to tell you!
Can we go out for a chat? "
"Oh!
Alright, wait a moment. "
Li Mo ran to his room and changed his sweat-soaked clothes.
The two arrived at the governor's estate's garden.
…
"Li Mo, I already told father and the elders about you and Liu Ming!
But they have no intention of stopping you. On the contrary, they approve!
Father said you can beat Liu Ming. Is it true? "
Looking at Liu Yan's expectant eyes, Li Mo had the urge to kiss her!
'This lass is always thinking of me!'
Li Mo adjusted his mood, feeling awkward!
"Uhm … don't worry, I'm confident!"
"What's wrong with your face? Why is it red?"
"Is that so?
Is it?
I don't feel it! "
Li Mo touched his face and found it hot. It must've been because he was thinking about something he shouldn't have!
"Oh … he-he, it's the sun. It's too hot!
I have to go! "
Li Mo 'fled'!
Liu Yan looked at the sky. Dark clouds covered it.
'Where did the sun come from?'
"Li Mo!
Stop right there! "
…
"Li Mo, I'm coming. Are you ready for a beating?"
Early in the morning, Liu Ming brought a few followers to Li Mo's courtyard!
He shouted!
He was afraid no one in the estate wouldn't know of his match with Li Mo!
His voice was so loud that it drew the attention of the surrounding soldiers and disciples!
"What's going on?
What's Liu Ming doing? "
"Don't you know?
Liu Ming wants to challenge Li Mo. They agreed to fight here today! "
"Is that so?
Then there's going to be a good show. I heard Liu Ming has the power of a high warrior. If Li Mo fights him alone, it'll be hard!
"Yeah!
I also think Li Mo won't last long! "
…
The crowd was abuzz with chatter!
"Li Mo!
Are you scared?
Aren't you supposed to be so capable? "Liu Ming raised his voice!
"What's the rush?
Are you here to die? "
