The road is vague

Chapter 56 Ma Ling
"Should I prepare a few more talismans? Unfortunately, I don't have many spirit stones on me."

Although Li Mo is now a second-year disciple and does not need to consider the issue of going to Zhongshan Kingdom to participate in the exchange meeting as a representative of Lingmu Sect after the assessment, he also has his own goal, which is to strive to get the top three results in the first and second-year groups, and then become a disciple of a Jindan stage hall master of Lingmu Sect.

Although he is only a so-called nominal disciple, as long as he can successfully build a foundation in the future, the master will give him great rewards, and he will be promoted from a nominal disciple to a formal disciple.

This way.

The master will definitely provide support to his registered disciples.

"Li Mo, Li Mo!"

Just as Li Mo was daydreaming, Lu Cuicui shouted his name and ran towards him from a distance.

"Where have you been these days? It's already sunset and you're still running around. I've been looking for you for a long time."

After worrying and blaming herself, Lu Cuicui smiled slightly and handed the humanoid puppet to Li Mo.

"I think you're almost forgetting that I promised you to return your humanoid puppet before the sunset. I've also taken care of your joint problems."

"what?"

Li Mo then realized that he had indeed forgotten.

"Thank you so much!"

Then Li Mo noticed that in Lu Cuicui's hand, in addition to a palm-sized humanoid puppet, there was also a booklet, which she handed to him.

He couldn't help but look at the booklet.

"Cuicui's notes?"

When Lu Cuicui heard this, her face turned slightly red. After a little hesitation, she walked lightly towards Li Mo, stood on tiptoe and whispered in Li Mo's ear.

"This is my personal notebook. It contains some of the Lu family's puppetry experience, as well as some of my personal insights."

"This...thank you so much!"

Li Mo expressed sincere gratitude.

far away.

Ma Ling slowly lowered her arm that was about to greet, and stared blankly at the intimate scene between Li Mo and Lu Cuicui. Her original smile suddenly became extremely lost. Then she thought of the incident at home where she had stood on the wrong side due to the power transfer of the Zhanghe faction, and planned to leave Muzhou from then on and join other secular martial arts sects. She suddenly became even more sad.

Niu Li and Yang Guang naturally also saw this scene.

After Yang Guang sighed, he kept pushing Niu Li hard, signaling him to take the initiative to come forward to comfort her. However, Niu Li kept pushing Yang Guang away, embarrassed and blushing, and refused to come forward.

Li Mo naturally had no idea about all this.

He followed Lu Cuicui to the hall, chatting and laughing, and found his name on the assessment list. His opponent was a disciple named Chu Jun.

"Do you know Chu Jun?"

Lu Cuicui shook her head when she heard this.

"do not know."

Then Li Mo looked at Lu Cuicui's opponent, who turned out to be Ye Xunhuan. He couldn't help but ask with concern, "It's him. How's it going? Are you sure?"

Lu Cuicui made an expression as if she was thinking seriously.

"It was hard to say before, but it should be no problem now!"

Seeing her so confident, Li Mo looked at the playing time of the two and saw that there were only four groups of disciples between them, so he smiled slightly.

"I have something urgent to take care of right now. I'll go cheer you on when you're on stage."

"Okay, then go ahead and get busy."

After bidding farewell to Lu Cuicui, Li Mo returned to the Alchemy Hall again. He had to race against time to condense the Thunder Crystal.

It's late afternoon.

After Li Mo completed the complete cycle of condensing thunder crystals, the number of thunder crystals in his dantian increased a little more. He then left the Alchemy Hall and came to the Divine Tree Square.

The two barrier arenas under the sacred tree were surrounded by disciples watching the battle.

Li Mo took a look at the progress of the assessment. He had to wait at least another hour before he could take the stage. So after looking around, Li Mo saw Niu Li and Yang Guang.

"Where's Ma Ling?"

Niu Li and Yang Guang, who were concentrating on watching the game, turned around and saw that it was Li Mo. Niu Li hummed.

"Sister Ma is not feeling well and has gone back to rest."

"uncomfortable?"

Li Mo looked surprised.

"She is sick?"

When Yang Guang heard this, he smiled.

"Yes, she is suffering from a heart disease."

Li Mo frowned and looked at the two of them, then walked towards the dormitory of the training hall. Ma Ling's dormitory was next to his, and Li Mo knocked on the door.

"Ma Ling, are you okay?"

After a while.

Ma Ling opened the door, and Li Mo was stunned to see her crying.

"what happened to you?"

"It's not because of you!"

Ma Ling choked up and said, "I saw you this morning, that way, that way with Lu Cuicui. What am I waiting for to change my mind? I will never like a man as powerful and good-looking as you again. You all like pretty girls like that. Don't think I don't know, woo woo!"

Li Mo was speechless.

What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?
Sudden.

Ma Ling took advantage of Li Mo's unpreparedness and kissed him suddenly.

When she saw Li Mo looking at her in shock, she couldn't help but burst into laughter, and then ran out happily.

"I can't suffer too much in the past two years. This is what I deserve, haha!"

Seeing Ma Ling running out of the training hall with a refreshed look on her face, Li Mo sighed with mixed feelings, kept wiping his cheeks, and followed her out of the training hall.

Under the Shenshu Square.

Finally it was Li Mo's turn to appear.

All the familiar friends came over to join in the fun and cheered for Li Mo from the audience.

Especially Ma Ling, this tiger girl has completely let go and is no longer obsessed with Li Mo. She is shouting heartily in the audience with an exceptionally loud voice.

After Li Mo stepped into the barrier, the sound outside disappeared instantly.

He looked at his opponent on the other side of the ring, a handsome and elegant scholarly male disciple, who bowed to Li Mo.

"Please give me some advice, senior brother."

Li Mo replied, "Teach each other."

As the referee announced the start, the two people who were still being humble to each other the moment before suddenly launched thunderous actions at the same time the next moment.

Chu Jun shouted loudly, and a fireball appeared on each of his hands. After merging into one, they shot towards Li Mo. This was an elementary intermediate spell, a continuous fireball.

Li Mo summoned the Thunder Sword.

As thunder exploded, a four-foot giant sword broke through the air and attacked.

The fireball spells cast by Chu Jun exploded continuously in the air. He screamed and wanted to dodge, but his movements were too clumsy. It was obvious that he had no martial arts foundation. As the Thunder Sword fell from the sky, he was transported out of the barrier by the refuge talisman after a flash of white light.

"Li Mosheng!"

This was all as expected.

After Li Mo walked out of the ring, he noticed that Chu Jun was looking at him in shock.

Li Mo was very familiar with this look. He had seen it many times a year ago. At that time, they were also first-year disciples. Facing the terrifying strength displayed by the second-year disciples, they felt desperate and powerless.

Compared with the huge gap between first-year disciples and second-year disciples, the gap between second-year disciples and third-year disciples is relatively much smaller.

"Li Mo, your flying sword is pretty good."

Yang Guang was surprised and asked, "Could it be a mid-grade magic weapon?"

Li Mo smiled and said, "It is indeed a mid-grade magical weapon. I've been busy for more than half a year and finally saved up enough spirit stones. I can test my skills against first-year disciples."

Yang Guang let out an envious sound.

Niu Li was surprised and asked, "So what level of Qi training have you reached now?"

Li Mo smiled mysteriously and did not give a clear answer, keeping the question in suspense.

"Don't tell anyone, I'm going to surprise everyone this time. My goal is... to be in the top three!"

Ma Ling, Niu Li and Yang Guang couldn't help but gasp when they heard this. Seeing Li Mo so confident, they looked at him as if he were a monster.

While the four were chatting, it was Lu Cuicui's turn to appear, and many disciples from aristocratic families came to join in the fun.

But some of them were cheering for Ye Xunhuan, while others were cheering for Lu Cuicui.

The two of them usually have a good relationship, and their relatives and friends have a lot of overlap. Therefore, before going on stage, Ye Xunhuan took the initiative to come to Lu Cuicui's side, stood with Lu Shun, and made a friendly gesture as if he was going to take care of the little sister.

The battle between the two disciples from aristocratic families attracted a lot of people's attention.

As the two came on stage and saluted each other, the referee announced the official start and both sides started moving at the same time.

Ye Xunhuan took out a small blue flag.

As he continued to inject his magic power, the small flag grew longer and expanded rapidly against the wind. In an instant, it turned into a large flag about four feet long. On the flag was embroidered a lifelike blue bird, shining with spiritual light.

This magic weapon is obviously a top-quality mid-grade magic weapon, much stronger than Li Mo's Thunder Sword.

the other side.

Lu Cuicui took out an ugly puppet, which looked like a bench with a head. This was the same crude puppet that Li Mo was fiddling with when he first met Lu Cuicui, except that it had been slightly improved and had many more functions added.

After the puppet landed on the ground, it quickly expanded to the size of a hound and confronted Ye Xunhuan.

Ye Xunhuan obviously knew about Lu Cuicui's puppet and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Xiao Cui, this low-level puppet of yours was okay when we were playing hide-and-seek as kids, but I'm afraid it's not good enough to use against me now."

Say it.

Ye Xunhuan violently waved the Blue Bird Flag in his hand, and two wind blades shot towards the crude and simple puppet.

At this time, the puppy puppet jumped flexibly, avoided the first wind blade, opened its mouth and shot out a ball of spiritual light, which actually offset the second wind blade.

Lu Cuicui also smiled slightly.

"Brother Xiao Huan, please be careful. This is not the same one as before."

Say it.

Lu Cuicui actually took out another monkey-shaped animal puppet from the storage bag, sacrificed it and threw it on the ground. It expanded rapidly and summoned a second puppet.

"Oh?"

Ye Xunhuan's expression grew slightly serious.

Only then did he notice that the craftsmanship of the puppets summoned by Lu Cuicui seemed to have been greatly improved. Not only were they more flexible, they could even cast spells. Even if they were not at the beginner or intermediate level, they were pretty close. Now she could summon two at once, which was indeed quite tricky and required him to take it seriously.

But he remained calm on the surface.

"Forgive my ignorance for not noticing that your puppetry has advanced to a new level. Now, I'm going to take you seriously!"

"You're welcome, Brother Xiao Huan!"

Ye Xunhuan waved the Blue Bird Flag continuously, and wind blades kept shooting towards the two puppets.

However, facing the wind blade attack of the Blue Bird Flag, the dog-form puppet was extremely flexible, constantly dodging and jumping, and occasionally spitting out light balls to fight back. The monkey-form puppet held a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, and was methodical. Even if the Blue Bird Flag kept firing wind blades, it would be unable to do anything to these two puppets in a short period of time.

Ye Xunhuan gradually became anxious. He felt that if he continued like this, it would damage his style.

So he tried to cast a spell on Lu Cuicui, but saw Lu Cuicui sacrifice a jade ruyi, which emitted a faint spiritual light and blocked Ye Xunhuan's spell.

"The fat man lent you his treasure!"

"Well, I don't have any magical tools, and my brother said he would lend them to me first."

Lu Cuicui did not hide anything and responded with a smile. At the same time, she took this opportunity to control the two puppets to approach Ye Xunhuan, attacking him from left and right, causing him considerable trouble.

Seeing that he was at a disadvantage, Ye Xunhuan gritted his teeth and, amid the exclamations of the disciples watching the battle, he took out a medium-grade spirit stone and held it in his hand, quickly recovering his magic power. At the same time, he made a hand gesture with his other hand, let out a low shout, and the Blue Bird Flag fluttered in the air.

Suddenly, strong winds blew around, forming a blue-black whirlwind.

The two puppets were affected by this and could not stand steadily, looking like they were about to be thrown out at any time.

Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan forced a smile.

"Xiao Cui, you can actually force me to use this move. It shows that you have made great progress in the past two years."

Li Mo was a little surprised.

Although theoretically, the spiritual power of a medium-grade spirit stone is equivalent to that of one hundred low-grade spirit stones, he has never seen a medium-grade spirit stone in such a long time.

If you think about it, you will know that there will definitely be a premium.

Lu Cuicui's face changed, and she quickly made hand gestures. The two puppets that were originally shaky in the hurricane calmed down in an instant, as if they were injected with great spiritual power and resisted the hurricane.

"Ok?"

Li Mo noticed through his spiritual eyes that two spiritual power threads shot out from Lu Cuicui's left hand and connected to the two puppets. He immediately looked thoughtful.

"Could this be the Lu family's secret spiritual thread technique?"

This is indeed a secret technique that can only be learned by the disciples of the Lu family who practice puppetry. Although Li Mo has heard about it from Lu Cuicui, this is the first time he has seen it. It is considered one of the core skills of the Lu family's puppetry.

"You actually mastered the secret technique of spiritual thread!"

Ye Xunhuan seemed a little bit unbelievable, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Lu Cuicui suddenly became completely different.

As far as he knew, this secret technique was extremely difficult to master, and it also had unique requirements for the puppet's structure. He didn't expect that this little sister who he once thought needed care had grown to this point.

This made his face look a little ugly.

After the two sides fought for about a quarter of an incense stick of time, Ye Xunhuan yelled, and as the monkey puppet chopped down with a knife, he was finally defeated and teleported out of the barrier by the refuge talisman.
