With this armor on, not only could he withstand more hits from Song Jian, but he could also earn more merit points!
Cheng Mo’s spirits lifted, and shouting loudly, he re-engaged in combat with Song Jian.
The scene locked into a tense stalemate.
Mo Hua observed from the side, employing Heavenly secret Calculation to deduce the Sword Qi of Song Jian’s Spirit Sword while advancing his study of the Sever Gold Sect’s Sever Gold Sword Formation.
At the same time, he gauged the effectiveness of Sever Gold Armor using the potency of Song Jian’s Sword Qi.
Song Jian had, without knowing, become Mo Hua’s "lab rat."
And yet, he remained completely oblivious.
The duel stretched on for nearly an hour and a half, before Mo Hua reused an old trick, luring monster beasts with the scent of blood to disrupt the fight and force it to an end.
Cheng Mo hurled curses and threats as he left, but soon slipped away.
Song Jian, shaking with rage, was utterly powerless to retaliate.
Following Mo Hua’s clandestine meddling, Cheng Mo and Song Jian dueled several more times.
Song Jian grew increasingly fiery, ignoring everything around him, obsessed solely with fighting Cheng Mo.
Every time he met Cheng Mo, he drew his sword to kill, his eyes turning red with fury, wishing he could shred Cheng Mo to pieces.
Cheng Mo, however, didn’t care.
His mission was to "get beaten."
During their first duel, his armor had failed, leaving him quite injured.
But in each subsequent duel, Mo Hua’s refinements made the armor stronger, countering both gold-series Spiritual Power and Sword Qi, rendering Cheng Mo increasingly fearless.
Additionally, his Junior Brother even paid him "wages."
An hour’s work earned him a hefty hundred merit points, which was quite generous.
After numerous duels, Mo Hua studied Sever Gold Sword Qi and finally deduced the complete Sever Gold Sword Formation.
This was an extremely rare sect-protecting Sword Formation.
Mo Hua eagerly began studying the Sever Gold Sword Formation.
He sought to understand its deeper principles and the fundamental essence of Sword Dao.
This would greatly aid him in comprehending "Sword Dao."
Several more days passed, and after dozens of simulations of Sever Gold Sword Qi and interpretations of Sever Gold Sword Formation, Mo Hua gradually mastered the Sever Gold Sword Formation.
