At the same time.

Within the courtyard of Divine Weapon Peak.

"What external forging martial arts did you teach Li Mo?"

Han He casually inquired.

Even though he believed Murong Xiao couldn't possibly lose, knowing oneself and the enemy is the key to victory.

However, Shang Wu's next words nearly made Han He spit out his tea:

"External forging martial arts? I didn't teach him any."

"You didn't?!"

"He just opened his meridians yesterday, where would he find the time to learn external martial arts?"

Shang Wu propped her chin, yawning out of boredom.

Han He's old face twitched.

You don't even know what martial arts your disciple is practicing, yet you dared to let him enter the Divine Edge Cavern?

He thought Shang Wu had some backup plan to win their bet.

And then there's Li Mo.

Could he have foolishly started practicing some low-level martial art like Iron Shirt?

Just then.

"Master! Master!"

"Something's wrong!"

Murong Xiao ran into the courtyard, his back drenched in sweat.

Not from exhaustion, but from urgency.

"Aren't you supposed to be practicing? What's the matter?"

Han He glanced at his disciple, frowning.

He always thought his disciple had a calm mind, which is why he let him go to the second level of the Divine Edge Cavern.

Why is he now so flustered?

The Divine Edge Cavern is right under his nose, what major incident could possibly happen?

"Brother Li has entered the third level of the Divine Edge Cavern!"

"Master, you must go save him!"

Murong Xiao hurriedly said.

His anxious demeanor.

To someone unaware, it might seem like his own father had fallen into a river.

"Brother Li? Which Brother Li?"

Han He didn't immediately understand.

"It's Elder Shang Wu's true disciple, Li Mo!"

Han He: "?"

Shang Wu: "Ah?"

Li Mo, went to the third level?

The third level is where the named weapons are stored.

Whether it's the lingering murderous aura of the former Weapon Master or the sharp aura inherent to the Divine Edge Cavern, it's not something the Vital Energy Realm can withstand.

The blacksmiths in the courtyard couldn't help but gasp.

They deal with weapons all year round, and many dare not stay long on the third level.

A Vital Energy Realm going down there is a death sentence.

"That's not right."

"How did he get down there?"

Han He stood up abruptly, puzzled.

To reach the third level, one must pass through the second level.

A martial arts newbie who just entered the Vital Energy Realm with no body refining experience shouldn't even be able to reach the second level!

But looking at Murong Xiao's expression, it clearly didn't seem like he was lying.

"Disciple doesn't know either....."

Murong Xiao shook his head.

"Perhaps he possesses some rare treasure that can isolate the sharp aura."

Han He pondered for a moment, considering this possibility.

"There shouldn't be any problem, right."

Shang Wu sobered up instantly, uncertainly taking out the Heartbound Bell from her bosom.

The bell hadn't rung.

Han He said solemnly:

"On the third level, your disciple might have been overwhelmed by the murderous aura the moment he went down!"

"With a rare treasure, he might be fine for a short time......"

Just as he finished speaking.

A red shadow, like a meteor, swiftly shot out.

And where she stood, there was only a large pit left on the ground.

"Hey, what just whooshed past?"

The Inner Sect Steward at the entrance rubbed his eyes.

"And who are you? Register!"

"Look carefully at who I am!"

"Oh...... it's you....."

Han He followed in as well.

If a true disciple were to die in the cavern, even as an elder, he would be held accountable.

"Shang Wu, don't go collapsing my Divine Edge Cavern!"

He shouted from behind.

This was understandable; once, a disciple who had just entered the Inner Breath Realm accidentally entered the third level of the Divine Edge Cavern and was affected in spirit.

The speed of the Inner Manifestation Realm was faster than a flash of fire.

Truly, lightning speed.

Shang Wu had no intention of hiding her aura, the scorching heat wave even overshadowed the sharp aura of the weapons.

Thus, many warriors on the first and second levels of the Divine Edge Cavern shivered in fear.

In no time.

Shang Wu reached the third level.

However, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"Huh?"

Shang Wu's tense expression gradually relaxed, turning into confusion.

"Shang Wu, my disciple really saved your disciple's life this time."

"How do you plan to repay this favor......."

Elder Han He walked down with his hands behind his back.

But before he could finish, he choked on his own words.

This elder who had overseen Divine Weapon Peak for twenty years.

Upon seeing the scene before him.

He froze on the spot.

Earlier, he thought he finally made Shang Wu, this crazy woman, owe him a favor, so she wouldn't come to Divine Weapon Peak for handouts anymore.

Never did he expect.

To witness such an unforgettable scene.

The young man sat on a bluestone, surrounded by dozens of weapons, each exuding an aura of docility and submission.

All of them, without exception, were named weapons.

Every disciple who entered the Inner Sect had the right to choose a weapon from the Divine Edge Cavern, and if lucky, could have a named weapon recognize them as its master.

Of course, most people could only choose weapons from the second or first level.

Obtaining the recognition of a named weapon was a tremendous fortune for an ordinary disciple.

It's important to know that even most elders of the peaks used named weapons.

To have dozens of named weapons recognize him at once?

Han He would rather believe that his old eyes, as an Inner View Grandmaster, were failing him.

"Gulp—"

Han He swallowed hard.

"I knew it, this kid isn't brainless."

"He's practicing quite well."

Shang Wu hummed, returning to her lazy demeanor.

Han He was speechless.

Who was it just now, almost crashing into people several times?

At this point, he didn't have the time to argue with Shang Wu, focusing instead on the young man surrounded by named weapons.

Even someone accustomed to great storms couldn't help but question reality now.

"This kid is really practicing."

"And he's attracted dozens of named weapons, the Martial Sharp Intent Will in this area is almost centered around him."

"Even a Spirit Observation Realm would have to think twice."

"Yet he's completely unharmed......"

Han He, being a Grand Artisan, was incredibly sensitive to weapons.

But the more he understood, the more he realized how difficult this was for someone in the Vital Energy Realm!

"By the way, old Han He."

"Doesn't your Divine Edge Cavern have a rule?"

"As long as a named weapon recognizes you, you can take it away."

Shang Wu wiped her mouth, her almond eyes gleaming.

She didn't even have a named weapon.

Of course, that's because she had something better.

But!

This was dozens of them!

If she could take her precious disciple for a few more rounds on the third level, there might be even more.

Han He: "?"

Are you here to stock up?

"You're mistaken, each disciple can only take one weapon from the Divine Edge Cavern."

"It wasn't like that before."

"That was then, this is now!"

.....

"The effects of the Clarity Pill are wearing off."

Li Mo stopped circulating his technique.

Opening his eyes, he looked towards the distant, chilling glow.

Just as he pushed the Ultimate Weapon Slaughter Body to its limit, he felt a faint sense of connection.

That connection was weak, but it undeniably existed.

Deeper within the Divine Edge Cavern, something was calling to him.

"Ahem, Li Mo, you can choose one of these named weapons to take with you."

Elder Han He's voice came from behind.

Li Mo snapped back to reality, noticing the two people behind him.

Elder Han He looked helpless.

His master was drooling over the weapons surrounding him.

Why were they here?

"Thank you, Elder Han He, but I don't plan to choose a weapon for now."

Li Mo cupped his hands.

His father's greatest hobby was collecting various weapons, often saying he dreamed of owning a named weapon.

He naturally knew the value of named weapons.

But the key......

He hadn't practiced any weapon techniques yet, he couldn't just randomly choose a named weapon and then pick a corresponding martial technique.

"That's right, disciple, we're not in a hurry."

Shang Wu said with a smile, turning back with a grin, "When you can reach the fourth level of the Divine Edge Cavern, we can take our time choosing."

"Elder Han He, don't you agree?"

Han He's eyelids twitched.

The fourth level, what's in there is practically the lifeline of Divine Weapon Peak.

"Let's see if you can even get down there first."

"It's only a matter of time."

Shang Wu, seeing the annoying old man at a loss, proudly patted her disciple's shoulder.

With that pat, she noticed something.

"Hmm? Little Mo, why have you gotten harder?"

"Guess what I came to the Divine Edge Cavern for."

Li Mo had a hard time deciding whether to voice his thoughts.

Well, the Ultimate Weapon Slaughter Body technique was indeed remarkably effective.

At least now, getting slapped by his master no longer hurt.

Preliminary estimates showed his physical strength had increased by at least 30% from before, and this was just the first day of practice.

It would only get stronger.

"When my physical strength improves, I'll venture deeper."

"The thing resonating with me shouldn't be on the fourth level, but deeper still."

Li Mo withdrew his gaze.
