Li Mo sat at the dining table, occasionally bursting into laughter—and the laughter seemed to grow increasingly... odd?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, nice! The Heaven and Earth Manifestation, hehehe...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha ha ha ha...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jie jie jie...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Wu and Qin Yuzhi exchanged bewildered glances. At first, they suspected that their junior Li might have been possessed by something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after an authoritative diagnosis by Sect Leader Qin, it was confirmed—he wasn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was simply being weird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s gotten into you?\" Shang Wu expressed concern for his mental state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yuzhi thought for a moment and said seriously, \"He’s been feverish for days. Maybe his brain got fried?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mo suppressed his grin and cleared his throat. \"Haven’t you noticed? I’ve broken through.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yuzhi studied him carefully and nodded. \"Just now, right? Still fresh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But isn’t breaking through normal for you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The divine insight I observed was special. I’ve gained a new technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mo took a bite of his steamed bun, a faint smirk on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What technique?\" Shang Wu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Getting bigger!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yuzhi blinked. \"That’s not particularly rare. Many martial arts can enlarge the body. I know quite a few.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yours might be one I’ve seen before. Show me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I’ll demonstrate just a little.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mo’s expression turned solemn as he suddenly let out a low shout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rustle—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of bones resonating and blood surging could almost be heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaotic energy swirled, converging toward one of his arms!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mo exhaled sharply. His height remained unchanged, but his right arm thickened by threefold, pulsing with overwhelming power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now had an \"Qilin Arm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there more?\" Qin Yuzhi sensed the technique wasn’t fully displayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mo replied, \"Nope.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfft—! Shouldn’t your whole body grow? Why just one arm... It looks so ridiculous, hahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Wu covered her mouth, struggling to hold back laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her precious disciple now looked like someone born with a congenital deformity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watch your words!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mo was displeased. This was the Heaven and Earth Manifestation, a divine ability of the Great Sage. If you don’t understand, don’t mock it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instinctively tried to stand but, unused to the overwhelming power in his right arm, nearly lost his balance and face-planted into the soy milk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"HAHAHA!! You’re hilarious!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His beautiful master no longer held back, pointing and laughing at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiss... This seems familiar. Wait, I remember now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yuzhi, whose memory was spotty at best, stared at Li Mo’s mismatched arms as a long-buried recollection surfaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once, I saw a warrior from the Martial Refinement Hall who was born with a deformity—though not in his arms, but his legs. One was enormous, the other shriveled like an infant’s.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mo felt a strange sense of déjà vu but couldn’t place it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did know of the Martial Refinement Hall. Qin Yuzhi had mentioned that its members were pure martial artists, devoted solely to tempering their bodies—extremely powerful in combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they all seemed a bit... simple-minded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yuzhi continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He was born disabled, but as they say, when the gods close a door, they open a window. That suited him perfectly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With one leg crippled, the other became abnormally strong. He dedicated all his effort to refining that leg.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And in the end, he truly forged an incredible martial art!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What art?\" Li Mo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Heavenly Crippled Leg!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yuzhi said gravely, \"Just like you, he could suddenly enlarge one leg to colossal size. A single kick could shatter mountains—utterly fearsome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfft—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mo nearly choked on his soy milk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of nonsense was this \"Heavenly Crippled Leg\"? His was the Heaven and Earth Manifestation! How could they even compare?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sadly, fate was unkind to him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He was defeated?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. A treacherous sorcerer poisoned him with a curse—giving his good leg... athlete’s foot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mo suddenly lost his appetite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, the Heavenly Crippled Leg got athlete’s foot?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Heaven and Earth Manifestation had never appeared in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, explaining it would be pointless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reverted to normal, grabbed his hammer, and left the courtyard, heading for the Divine Arms Peak to test his newfound strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he stepped outside—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the second-floor window of her chamber, Ying Bing watched him leave Autumn Water Pavilion before quietly closing the shutters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What she had just witnessed told her, through her martial intuition, that this was nothing like the \"Heavenly Crippled Leg\" Qin Yuzhi described.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was simply that Li Mo hadn’t yet mastered it, making it seem clumsy and comical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just how strong was Li Mo’s physique and power?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps no one understood better than the ice-cold girl herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If even the \"Divine Hammer Prodigy\" struggled to control this strength—how terrifying must it be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seven days... no.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Six days left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, she was confident...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the mountain path to Divine Arms Peak, Li Mo pondered as he walked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My current body is still too weak. The chaotic energy is limited, unable to fill my entire form, and the duration is too short.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So forget transforming into a thousand-foot giant—I can’t even enlarge my whole body yet. Only partial growth...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this thought, he focused his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swallowed a six-marked pill to replenish his vitality and attempted the Heaven and Earth Manifestation again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He distinctly felt his leg swelling under the chaotic energy’s nourishment, its power multiplying tenfold!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground trembled. Without using any movement technique, pure strength alone launched him like a cannonball from the mountainside straight into the forging yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine Arms Peak disciples gaped in shock at the sight of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Mo paid them no mind. Dispelling the technique, his eyes gleamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Divine Refinement strengthens the body during forging.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And if I master the power from the Heaven and Earth Manifestation, I can amplify the strength of my hammer arm at critical moments, boosting efficiency.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The two complement each other!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone knew, Li Mo was full of ideas—many of which struck him out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he could only enlarge parts of his body, he could choose which parts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which gave him a bold thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced down at a certain recently unruly part of himself. What if...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mo recoiled slightly, startled by his own audacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mo, what are you thinking?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>",1067,"2026-05-30T17:19:00.270Z","2026-06-01T04:31:46.286Z",1,"novelbin.me","b6ae7a87d576c6614912d8b35d293450e09408b952b525969e559cc25dc06277","investing-in-the-reborn-empress-she-actually-cal-chapter-442","investing-in-the-reborn-empress-she-actually-cal-chapter-440",737,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finvesting-in-the-reborn-empress-she-actually-cal-cover.jpg"]
