"Xiao Xiao's Yama Hammer seems bigger than the usual ones to me. Do you guys feel the same?"

In the square, Zhou Xuanmen was the first to spot the difference between Xiao Mu's Yama Hammer and that of others as he looked up at the illusion of the Yama Hammer in the sky, his face full of question marks.

This was too strange. The Yama Hammer belonged to a secret battle technique, which was what's referred to as a war spell. A war spell uses True Force to forge a substantial means of attack.

After all, it was still intangible.

Since it was intangible, it shouldn't vary in size.

However, now, Xiao Mu's Yama Hammer was clearly a bit bigger than the others, which unavoidably struck Zhou Xuanmen as odd.

It was too inconceivable.

"This Xiao Xiao, instead of diligently cultivating the secret technique, what on earth is he doing? Why make the Yama Hammer so big?"

Huang Yuan rubbed his eyes.

Yan Qingxu was full of confusion, "Is something wrong with Xiao Mu's cultivation method?"

At these words, everyone suddenly fell silent.

Can it be?

Zhou Xuanmen, Huang Yuan, Yu Wen'en, and others all felt their hearts skip a beat, considering that if the cultivation method was wrong, it could be fatal.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Elsewhere, the Honored One continued his cultivation, with strange noises continuously emanating from his seclusion area. With each noise, a flash of Golden Light would appear on the Annihilation Sword, followed by the emergence and then disappearance of a texture.

Fifty-nine, sixty, sixty-one...

The Honored One had excellent control over the Annihilation Sword; he was gradually achieving the Seventy-two Refinements, breaking through to meticulous refinement, and stepping into the level of Refinement.

"Feels like it's gotten a lot stronger," said Xiao Mu as he reached out and grabbed the combined Yama Hammer in his hand.

The power of the City God Command permeated freely, as if holding a highly compressed megabomb, with the Yama Hammer inside containing exceedingly terrifying power.

"I feel that my Yama Hammer is stronger than the ordinary ones."

"No, according to the standards previously mentioned by Senior Zhou, an ordinary Yama Hammer refined seventy-two times would never have as abundant energy inside as mine."

"After the Mutation, its power has indeed increased a lot."

"An ordinary Yama Hammer refined seventy-two times, when faced with mine, would probably explode with one strike. Even if the opponent's Yama Hammer is at ninety or one hundred refinements, it would likely be no match for mine."

Xiao Mu felt the violent energy inside the Yama Hammer and closed his eyes in silent contemplation, making judgments about his own Yama Hammer.

Such judgments may not be absolutely accurate, after all, it was only Xiao Mu's estimation. But without a doubt, after merging two into one, the power of this Yama Hammer was definitely stronger than the ordinary ones.

I've only cultivated it seventy-two times; there are still thirty-six refinements until the ultimate one hundred and eight refinements.

The method for the remaining thirty-six refinements seems to have changed. It didn't split into new Yama Hammers as before. Does this mean I must continue to cultivate on this combined Yama Hammer?

Xiao Mu held the giant Yama Hammer, making conjectures.

A moment later, he no longer pondered and decided to directly give it a try.

Hum!

Over Xiao Mu's head, the City God's image vibrated once more and the Golden power of the City God Command was scattered. Xiao Mu reached out with his right hand, seized a clump of the City God's power, and directly stuffed it into the giant Yama Hammer.

Bang!

This time, the Yama Hammer began to resist; it generated a repelling force, beginning to reject the power Xiao Mu was trying to forcefully infuse.

High above, the reflected giant Yama Hammer flashed with Golden power.

"Finally, it begins, this Xiao Xiao!"

Zhou Xuanmen looked up at the sky, finally relieved.

This Xiao Xiao had finally started to cultivate. Had he finally figured out the correct cultivation method?

"Still claiming to have explained everything. If everything had been made clear, would Xiao kid have only figured out the correct cultivation method now?"

Huang Yuan glared at Zhou Xuanmen, beginning to criticize again.

Zhou Xuanmen was speechless and thought better of explaining. It was pointless to explain to Old Huang, a muddled fellow. Only a ghost would know why Xiao Xiao had only found the correct cultivation method now.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

On Xiao Mu's side, the giant Yama Hammer's resistance to the power of the City God seemed quite strong. Every infusion was exceptionally loud, completely overshadowing the sounds coming from the Honored One.

"This Xiao Xiao seems to be quite capable, turning the typically quiet cultivation of a secret battle technique into such a grand affair," Yan Qingxu couldn't help but praise after looking up at the illusory Yama Hammer for a while.

The volume of the strange noises in the cultivation of secret battle techniques, although not proving anything or indicative of the power's strength or weakness...

However, compared to the Honored One's regular cultivation, Xiao Mu's enormous noises were indeed very impactful.

"I disagree, loud noise doesn't mean anything."

A sharp voice suddenly rang out, bluntly refuting Yan Qingxu's words.

Yan Qingxu looked at the person singing out of tune with him unhappily—again it was Old Huang—and let it go.

This old guy was even more protective of Xiao Mu than others. If Yan praised Xiao Mu, he would argue; if Yan belittled Xiao Mu, he would argue even more.

Was this what they called great love begets great hatred?

※※※

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Twenty, twenty-one... thirty...

Xiao Mu's progress was fast. Despite the Yama Hammer's strong resistance, it was trivial to him.

With the empowerment of the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, his authority was far stronger than that of ordinary Mutated Beings at the same level, firmly suppressing the Yama Hammer and repeatedly infusing the power of the City God Command.
