In the quadruple gravity zone, even the Thunder Path Physique has a hard ti keeping up.
Luo Xiu, like an old water buffalo, has hardly started plowing before he's utterly exhausted.
Even his proud skill of Seven Strikes a Second has decreased to just half a strike per second.
"Hmph, useless. You were so strong when fishing, even wearing the Sealing Spirit Armor. Now, without it, you can't do anything?"
By the Bu Zhou Riverbank.
Luo Xian lazily leaned against Luo Xiu's chest, her jade hand gently caressing his chest muscles, expressing her dissatisfaction with Luo Xiu with a face full of grievance.
Luo Xiu looked at this pampered vixen sulking in his arms and let out a deep sigh.
Even with intention, there's no strength.
"Why don't you try being on top?"
"No!"
"So you're just talking without back pain because you're lying down."
"Does it hurt even when you're working on your knees?"
"You're still bold enough to talk back!" Luo Xiu suddenly pinched her chin, lifting her exquisitely beautiful face like a work of art, and gently stroked her moist red lips with his thumb.
"Only I can counter your mouth."
"Shaless, you're disgusting."
"Want to take it outside? I'll show you Seven Strikes a Second stick technique!"
"Hmph, I won't go. Here is my territory."
The top-notch stick technique of Seven Strikes a Second, each strike hits the soul's depths; Luo Xian already experienced it many tis, each recollection bringing fear.
Luo Xiu frowned slightly, as if noticing sothing, suddenly plucking a curled short hair stuck to Luo Xian's lip and then showing it to her.
Luo Xian saw it and couldn't help but gag.
"You're so disgusting!"
Luo Xiu grinned mischievously, "You ate it yourself earlier, bla ?"
"Hmph!"
"By the way, darling, where's that kind of white silk you wore last ti?"
"What white silk?"
"The kind with the lace patterns."
"You're dreaming; I'm not wearing it for you to see."
"Don't misunderstand, I an I want to take it apart for fishing line. That white silk should be a Defensive Treasure, right?"
"..."
...
Ti flows like water.
In the blink of an eye.
There's only one day left until the Sword Competition.
This day.
The Forbidding Grounds.
Tenfold gravity zone!
By the Bu Zhou Riverbank, Luo Xiu's wearing the Sealing Spirit Armor weighing 108,000 jin, fiercely tugging on an enlarged eel under Ten Thousand Manifestations.
The ten-thousand-jin eel struggles by rolling in the river like a dragon stirring the sea, raising overwhelming waves!
On the riverbank, Luo Xiu maintains a horse stance, steady as a mountain, his energy sinking into his Dantian, both hands gripping the fishing rod tightly.
Luo Xian does not assist but instead cheers Luo Xiu on, also directing him.
Through these strenuous days, by now, the gemstones on the Sealing Spirit Armor had almost turned completely red, just lacking the final touch.
The day before yesterday, in the ninefold gravity zone, Luo Xiu resiliently hoisted a ten-thousand-jin mud carp!
And today, if he can hoist this ten-thousand-jin eel in the tenfold gravity zone, he can complete "Refine Self" and securely enter the Noble Realm!
"Go, darling!"
"Harder!"
"Put in more strength!"
"Adjust the pace; don't just use brute force. Rember: too much of anything is harmful!"
"Bang!"
Just as Luo Xian directed Luo Xiu on force application, a crisp snap suddenly ca.
It was Luo Xiu's Jade Spider Silk Fishing Line that snapped.
Silence suddenly enveloped the air.
Watching that distant ten-thousand-jin eel, Luo Xiu was utterly frustrated.
"Looks like your Jade Spider Silk wasn't enough after all."
Over ten days ago, after Luo Xiu begged persistently, Luo Xian dismantled her favorite Jade Spider Silk Stockings, letting Luo Xiu advance through hardships until now reaching the tenfold gravity zone!
Who would have thought, it snapped today.
Luo Xian, full of helplessness, suggested, "Isn't thirty thousand jin too much? How about fishing a ten-thousand-jin one instead?"
Luo Xiu sighed, "Looks like today will be another wasted day. I'll find sothing sturdier and co back. Unless I hoist that thirty-thousand-jin eel, I'm no Luo!"
...
Back in the Land of Lawlessness, Luo Xiu, full of frustration, disassembled the Sealing Spirit Armor himself.
Though specially treated Jade Spider Silk was durable and could be crafted into a Defensive Treasure, as fishing line, it could only handle up to twenty-thousand-jin fish at most.
Any more than twenty-thousand-jin and it would reach its limit.
"Hmm... right, speaking of Defensive Treasures, there's this!"
Luo Xiu's eyes lit up as if he thought of sothing, urgently running to the Green Lotus Palace, sneaking into Hua Muyan's room.
By this ti, Hua Muyan and Xia Chan were probably by the Ginseng Garden, or in the Shanhai Territory, or they might have left the Land of Lawlessness.
With Construct Wood Power, Hua Muyan could open the access points freely without Luo Xiu's help, entering and leaving the Land of Lawlessness as she wished.
Soon.
Luo Xiu found the Mystic Ribbon Treasure Garnt in Hua Muyan's wardrobe.
Though this Mystic Ribbon Treasure Garnt was a top-tier Defensive Divine Artifact, to Hua Muyan, it was just a tool to allure Luo Xiu and extract Fortune-Forming Power.
Therefore, she usually only wore it at night, keeping it in the wardrobe otherwise.
"Yan'er, I'm sorry... but don't worry, I'll just take a bit to make fishing line; it won't impact the whole."
Presently, Luo Xiu moved to Mu Yueqing's room.
These days, Mu Yueqing stayed in her room the entire ti.
After being injured by Lin Tong last ti, she had been recovering in seclusion, and Luo Xiu hadn't disturbed her.
"What are you doing?"
Mu Yueqing opened her eyes, and her seemingly calm gaze couldn't conceal her excitent.
Luo Xiu coming to her implied she would receive Fortune-Forming Power.
However.
Reality is often quite stark.
Luo Xiu scratched his head, slightly embarrassed, "Uh, I saw that you had a brocade... could you give the gold thread on it?"
The threads from the Mystic Ribbon Treasure Garnt were finer than hair, clearly unfit for fishing line, so sothing additional was needed.
Luo Xiu imdiately thought of Mu Yueqing's brocade.
That was a top-tier magical treasure, a weapon of the Goddess of Heaven Moon!
"Why do you need it?"
Mu Yueqing's expression was cold; her heart was filled with disappointnt.
"To make a fishing line."
Mu Yueqing: "..."
That's definitely a reason to want to fight!
Yet, as it was Luo Xiu's request, she had no choice but to comply, dismantling a piece of her beloved Fairy Moon Colorful Brocade.
The next day.
Luo Xiu rushed into the Divine Oracle Cave Heaven early in the morning.
At the sa ti.
Xian Yu City in the Heavenly Plains was abuzz with excitent.
Because today is the Sword Competition!
In the bustling crowd.
Master Ping looked around and muttered, "Could it be that Luo Xiu is still sleeping in? Why hasn't he co yet?"
Beside him, Luo Yue and Wang Wu Ah Wei wore anxious expressions, sighing about how unreliable Luo Xiu was for never letting anyone have peace of mind.
"Ah, we can only rely on him now. After all, there're still a few hours; he should make it in ti."
Luo Yue comforted herself.
"This is mine, missy!"
Elsewhere, Immortal had her hands on her hips, starting an argunt with Lin Tong.
Several days ago, Luo Xiu sent Lin Tong to stay at the Wangjian Inn, in charge of protecting Immortal, Luo Yue, and the others.
Because Immortal loved causing trouble, setting fire to people with the slightest disagreent, and Luo Yue couldn't persuade her, Luo Xiu only had Lin Tong left to rely on.
But gradually, Lin Tong discovered this young miss was truly hard to serve. He, a dignified Death God, was left sulk-free.
"Alright, alright, it's yours!"
Lin Tong handed the string of candies to Immortal.
He's not a child; naturally, he won't stoop to a little girl's level.
"Hmph, that's more like it."
"..."
