His aura surged upward with a roar, a faint golden sheen appearing over his blade as he swung it up to block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Zhanye’s long saber was naturally astonishingly hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Li Mu’s Black Iron staff collided with the saber, it actually broke apart in the middle with a sharp crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shaft shattered, and the terrifying recoil sent Li Mu flying backward in a flip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Qin Zhanye actually staggered back three steps in a row.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire place fell deathly silent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu looked at his slightly trembling right hand. His entire right arm was numb now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed he had still overestimated his own body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Divine Weapon Art adding fifty jin, plus the Black Iron staff’s own weight, it totaled a full hundred jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mountain-Bearing Art allowed him to wield it without issue, and with a powerful cultivation art supporting it, its offensive power could rise to an astonishing level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his body still could not endure it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Zhanye, meanwhile, was even more shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own cultivation was already at the Yellow Rank, Eighth Grade, and he was on the verge of stepping into the Ninth Grade!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu, a mere First Grade Martial Artist, stood as far beneath him as heaven and earth apart from mud and clouds!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet he had forced him back several steps. What kind of terrifying attack power was that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good! Good!! Did you all see that clearly?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overjoyed, Qin Zhanye pointed at Director Song and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How much did you comprehend?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Song turned around excitedly and swept his gaze across the teachers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But almost none of them answered him. They were all still immersed in that brilliant, exquisite strike from just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every one of them was waving an imaginary spear or staff in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As though possessed, they moved in wild, chaotic motions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were even muttering to themselves under their breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Xu stepped forward, forcing a trace of a smile onto his aged face as he said to Li Mu,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young man, I want to ask you for a favor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please, go ahead,” Li Mu said with a slight bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could you come inside and speak with us for a bit?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You saw it too. These people are already completely buried in it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A sentence or two from you may be enough to bring about a qualitative transformation in the Flowing Cloud Triple Shock.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It would not be an exaggeration to say that if the Flowing Cloud Triple Shock could be widely advanced to five shocks—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then the overall strength of the spear-and-staff martial artists at the bottom ranks of our military district would undergo a tremendous leap.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And if it could be advanced to six shocks—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It might even affect our military district’s casualty rate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… this would be a heaven-sized merit, child. I… I will definitely apply for military merit on your behalf!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the end, tears had welled up in Professor Xu’s eyes, and his voice was trembling slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu turned back to glance at Qin Zhanye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Zhanye gave him a deep nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why not…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Xu’s old eyes brimmed with tears. He grabbed Li Mu’s hand with his rough, weathered palm and, arm in arm with him, walked into the Research Department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind them came Director Song and the group of teachers who all looked half-possessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every last one of them filed into that large conference room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Zhanye did not go in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply waited outside in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he could hear from inside was crying at times, laughter at times, clamor at times, silence at times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than three full hours passed before Assistant Liu and Li Mu walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without exception, everyone inside the conference room had fallen asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assistant Liu looked a little tired as well, but the light in his eyes could not be concealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his voice and said to Qin Zhanye, “Wolf Guard, my apologies. Director Song and the others practiced too intensely and exhausted their minds, so they fell asleep.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In my estimation, they will not wake up for at least several more hours.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he looked at Li Mu, unable to hide the admiration in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Student Li Mu, you truly are a staff arts prodigy that appears only once in a hundred years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu hurriedly answered with modesty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You flatter me, Assistant Liu. Compared to the mighty figures who created these cultivation arts, I am no more than dust.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu was very clear about himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people praised him largely out of personal emotion, because the difficulty of improving this cultivation art was simply too high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This group understood the profundity hidden within it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even if they revered Li Mu as though he were a god,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that still could not change the fact that this cultivation art had limited reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivation arts were produced by people. Li Mu’s improvements could not be spread across all of China.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was limited to this military district and this batch of people, and even then, it depended on how much these producers had managed to absorb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if these few dozen people worked day and night without pause, even to the point of exhaustion, they could only produce a few hundred sets of the Flowing Cloud Triple Shock in a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if only a few hundred people could learn it in a month, how many of those few hundred would survive because of the Flowing Cloud Triple Shock?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, these people could also pass on the Five Shocks of Flowing Cloud they had comprehended to other creators of cultivation arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if it were passed down wave after wave like that, the strength of the cultivation art would inevitably weaken bit by bit until it gradually returned to being a low-grade technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also one of the great pain points of China’s cultivation arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was also the main reason why cultivation arts were so much more precious than Spiritual Treasures and weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless Li Mu could find a way to spread improved cultivation arts throughout every military district in the country—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and ensure they were implemented effectively—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>only then would that be a truly world-shaking achievement!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assistant Liu hurriedly said, “There is no need to be so modest. Improving a cultivation art that has already been widely spread is far more difficult than creating a new one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The path of optimizing cultivation arts is long and arduous, but even if there is only the slightest room for progress, we will still give it everything we have!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu felt a measure of admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exchanging a few more polite words, Assistant Liu personally escorted Qin Zhanye and Li Mu out of the Research Department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even stood at the entrance watching them go a long way off before finally turning around and heading back inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How do you feel?” Qin Zhanye asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu dug at his ear. “Ah, I just feel like my ear is all empty inside!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahahaha! You brat, it is only one weapon. I will compensate you for it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Zhanye was in excellent spirits and burst into bright, hearty laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the adjutant following at his side was surprised. It had been so long since Wolf Guard Qin had laughed like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet today, he had done it more than once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Zhanye handled matters with swift decisiveness. After leaving the Research Department, he directly brought Li Mu to the Military Supplies Department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Military Supplies Department was divided into several sections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Weapons Section, the Spiritual Treasures Section, and the Techniques Section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu chose the Spiritual Treasures Section first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spiritual Treasures Section of the Military Supplies Department truly opened Li Mu’s eyes. On the shelves to either side, there were countless mortal-grade and high-grade Spiritual Treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Members of the Abyss-Suppressing Army moved back and forth among them as though they were shopping in a marketplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many Spiritual Treasures had clearly marked prices, but all of them were listed in contribution points and merit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So-called Spiritual Treasures were treasure artifacts that possessed special energy and effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If used properly, they could often turn the tide and were one of a martial artist’s trump cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contribution points were the currency of the entire military system and could be spent in exchange for supplies from the Abyss-Suppressing Army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merit points were the qualification threshold for purchasing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a Spiritual Treasure that required 200 contribution points and 10 merit points,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>if your merit points were below 10, then no amount of contribution points would let you buy it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qin Zhanye led Li Mu directly into the Premium Spiritual Treasures Section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were far fewer Spiritual Treasures in the premium section than in the first two sections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were not many people there, either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prices in this section were frighteningly high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thousand contribution points or more was nothing unusual, and the merit point requirement was basically never below 300.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pick whatever you like!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Zhanye gave a grand wave of his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu did not stand during the ceremony and immediately began looking around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very quickly, an exceptionally beautiful black-and-red cloak entered his field of vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was neither too large nor too small, and it appeared to be made from some kind of soft hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Against the interwoven black-and-red background was a silver ring, giving it a simple yet imposing look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Size-Shifting Cloak: Price 3400 contribution points. Purchasable by those with 360 merit points or above.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is this?” Li Mu asked in delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Zhanye pulled out a manual from behind the glass display case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Size-Shifting Cloak: Warm and durable. It can freely change size, and its maximum size can continue to increase as it absorbs energy from its master’s killing intent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading that aloud, Qin Zhanye flipped the cloak over and muttered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although it is a growth-type cloak, for a premium Spiritual Treasure, its effect is a bit too one-dimensional. Are you sure you want this one?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a mysterious energy flowing through the cloak, and it was also extremely beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Growth-type Spiritual Treasures carried a certain element of gambling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the early stages, they offered very little help to their master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they grew, they might surpass the value of premium treasures—or they might fall short of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Li Mu’s Victory Points could modify Spiritual Treasures. To him, every Spiritual Treasure was growth-oriented. As long as he liked it, that was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Zhanye did not waste words. He nodded and directly opened the glass display case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he made a gesture of invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu lifted the cloak out with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its touch was soft and smooth, and a strange energy circulated through it, thread by thread flowing into Li Mu’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu draped it over his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It fit perfectly, neither too large nor too small, with just the right length. If he left it hanging loose, it lightly covered his shoulders and arms at the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With only a slight tug, it could wrap around his entire body, and it still felt comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu instinctively reached out and snapped the cloak with a shake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cloak flew up behind him and in an instant spread out to several meters in size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With another flick of his hand, it shrank back to its normal size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Zhanye stared for a moment, slightly stunned, and could not help but inwardly praise Li Mu for his striking appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu had a tall build, handsome features, and was also a genius in staffsmanship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he now swept his battle cloak through the air,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Zhanye seemed to see in advance the image of Li Mu as a youthful war god on the battlefields of the Abyss—spear in hand, astride a swift horse, his battle cloak snapping in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded in approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on. It is time to choose your weapon!”\u003C\u002Fp>",2099,"2026-05-30T10:59:06.454Z","2026-06-01T04:31:04.028Z",1,"novelbin.me","ae8a9eb82da5b70c872af166401b61a0979d3966d038bdfbffdb639e22d1cd85","you-stole-my-s-rank-talent-afraid-now-that-i-ve--chapter-12","you-stole-my-s-rank-talent-afraid-now-that-i-ve--chapter-10",99,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-stole-my-s-rank-talent-afraid-now-that-i-ve--cover.jpg"]
