103: Chapter 103 I Need Your Help in My Cultivation!

Walter, a veteran of many years, was no fool; he immediately understood Li Mo's tactics.

It was a decapitation strike!

With the others drawing the enemy's fire, Li Mo would charge into the center of the enemy formation alone to assassinate Walter.

Once the commander was dead, the remaining forces would inevitably scatter like loose sand.

Walter was secretly alarmed. The young man before him looked to be under twenty, yet his mind was incredibly meticulous.

Moreover, this wasn't something that could be achieved through meticulous planning alone; it also required immense courage and absolute confidence in one's own strength.

After all, there were only five of them in total. Even excluding the dozens sent to the front lines, there were still about sixty people left in this camp. A decapitation strike like this should have at least been supported by an equivalent number of troops.

"Young man, I admire your strength, but I admire your courage even more!"

"But let me tell you! You've messed with the wrong person! I, Walter, am not that easy to kill!"

Having said that, Walter suddenly stripped off his military uniform, revealing a body of ripped muscles.

It was hard to imagine that he could still maintain such a physique at eighty years old. After all, apart from Martial Gods, no one could resist aging.

This only showed that Walter was extremely self-disciplined, maintaining a rigorous level of physical training even at his age.

Li Mo didn't waste any more words. The sooner he took down Walter, the sooner he could crush the enemy.

In the next instant, Li Mo shot forward like an arrow released from a bowstring. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Walter, thrusting his spear straight toward Walter's heart.

But how could Walter not anticipate Li Mo's tactics? At the exact moment Li Mo's spear lunged forward, Walter swung his fist, which was as large as a sandbag.

The next moment, Li Mo felt a terrifying, immense force travel up his spear. Unable to withstand it, he was sent flying backward, barely managing to steady himself after flipping several times in the air.

"What kind of strength is this?"

Li Mo was quite astonished.

After all, Li Mo's three main attributes currently exceeded one hundred thousand, which was already on the verge of reaching the threshold of the Sanhe Realm.

Even if Walter's attributes were slightly higher than Li Mo's, they shouldn't be too far ahead.

They certainly shouldn't have left him in such a pathetic state!

Furthermore, based on Li Mo's observations, Walter's basic attributes shouldn't have reached a level that could completely overwhelm him.

There was only one explanation: this was the mysterious and unpredictable Divine Soul Power!

The emergence of Divine Soul Power completely overturned the previous standard of measuring combat strength solely by basic attributes within a realm.

So that was it!

The corners of Walter's mouth curled up slightly. "Young man, is this all you've got?"

In the next instant, Li Mo felt his mind go slightly dazed, and his vision went blank. By the time he snapped out of it, Walter was already in front of him, throwing a straight punch aimed at crushing his skull!

In a panic, Li Mo raised his spear with both hands to block.

At that moment, Walter was also incredibly shocked. "How did you react so quickly?!"

In Walter's understanding, those in the Liangyi Realm possessed absolutely no Divine Soul Power, which meant they should have zero resistance against Divine Soul attacks.

He had just launched a Divine Soul attack at Li Mo. Theoretically, Li Mo should have been frozen in place for at least five seconds.

Those brief five seconds would have been more than enough for him to kill Li Mo ten times over!

Yet Li Mo's reaction was simply too fast.

But the arrow was already on the string. Walter's punch, carrying immense momentum, slammed heavily into the shaft of Li Mo's jingdi spear.

Boom!

With a deafening blast, a massive crater was blown open beneath Li Mo's feet, and his legs were driven deep into the ground.

He had to admit that this was a formidable foe unlike any he had encountered in a long time. The amplification from Divine Soul Power was truly terrifying.

Fortunately, it was merely difficult to handle, not impossible.

Li Mo immediately pulled his legs out of the ground, pushed Walter back, and leaped backward to put some distance between them.

Just now, he had only been testing the waters and hadn't used his full strength against Walter, not even utilizing his own talents.

"The Sanhe Realm? Today, I shall cut you down!"

In the next instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared around Li Mo. The powerful Primal World-Purifying Thunder crackled through the air, carrying the golden Candle Dragon Flame as it raged in all directions.

Walter clearly sensed that something was wrong. With an angry expression, he barked, "Kid, holding back while fighting me... what kind of person do you take me for?"

Walter launched another offensive, his body hurtling toward Li Mo like a cannonball.

He also knew that Li Mo's talents were extraordinary, so this attack carefully bypassed Li Mo's Candle Dragon Flame and Primal World-Purifying Thunder.

How could Li Mo let him have his way? He immediately channeled the power of fire and lightning to blast him. However, Walter was highly experienced in battle; with a few quick leaps, he dodged Li Mo's Primal World-Purifying Thunder and Candle Dragon Flame, launching a left hook toward Li Mo.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The two exchanged three rapid blows, neither gaining the upper hand, before backing away from each other once more.

This Divine Soul Power was indeed not to be underestimated. Li Mo's talents far surpassed Walter's, and their basic attributes were similar, yet he was unable to take him down in a short amount of time.

While Li Mo found Walter troublesome, Walter was even more shocked. In his understanding, a Sanhe Realm martial artist should completely crush a Liangyi Realm martial artist under any circumstances.

If fighting above one's level was still possible below the Sanhe Realm, it was absolutely impossible once one reached the Sanhe Realm and above!

This was because the influence of Divine Soul Power was simply too massive—massive enough to erase any other advantages!

Let alone the fact that Li Mo's basic attributes were similar to Walter's; even if they far exceeded Walter's, theoretically, Li Mo still shouldn't have been a match for him!

What terrified Walter even more was that Li Mo seemed to be gradually adapting to his Divine Soul attacks!

For instance, when Walter first used a Divine Soul attack, he could freeze Li Mo in place for two seconds, but now, it could only daze him for a single second!

Furthermore, that suppression from the Divine Soul Power was slowly fading away.

"What is wrong with this kid? Could his Divine Soul Power actually be growing as the battle goes on?" Walter looked as if he had seen a ghost.

In fact, this was precisely the effect of the Chaos Star Art!

As an SSS-grade cultivation method specifically designed to cultivate Divine Soul Power, Li Mo obtaining it at Starry Sky University was undoubtedly one of his most precious strokes of fortune.

This cultivation method could even stimulate the generation of Divine Soul Power within someone who had not yet formally cultivated their soul.

In truth, through his recent meditations cultivating the Chaos Star Art, Li Mo had already accumulated Divine Soul Power in his body. However, because he had not yet reached the Sanhe Realm, he did not know how to actively utilize it.

But Walter's Divine Soul attacks on Li Mo triggered a passive counterattack from the Divine Soul Power within Li Mo's body. The stronger Walter's attacks were, the more powerful the counterattack from Li Mo's internal Divine Soul Power became.

This allowed Li Mo, who shouldn't have possessed the power of the soul yet, to directly awaken his Divine Soul.

While it appeared that Walter was constantly suppressing Li Mo, the reality was that as long as Walter failed to instantly kill him, he was actually helping Li Mo cultivate!

It was equivalent to giving him a free trial pass to the Sanhe Realm in advance!
