If the title might be confusing, I’m looking for a manga or manhua where the mc progresses through the world gaining new abilities and weapons as he grows. For example solo leveling the mc gets new daggers and abilities. It’s annoying reading a manga where the mc gets a super broken weapon or abbility and goes through the story just dumpstering on any villain. If you know any like this it would be much appreciated. Also I would like for there to be a difficult aspect as well where as the mc gets stronger the mobs he faces get stronger as well and it wouldn’t hurt for their to be a super cute or bombshell of a female to accompany the mc on the journey

Off the top of my head I can recommend
Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari
Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?
and
Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi

All these MC's level up and gain new abilities through hard work while facing progressively more powerful enemies.

Much appreciated brother! I’ve already read shield hero and I’ll give the martial arts manga a try! Do you know any geared more with weapons instead of just hand to hand. That’s one thing I love in mangas the designs of weapons cool swords, scythes, Spears, and daggers. Do you know any mangas where the mc cycles through different types of cool weapons as he gets stronger or levels up and obtains them through the hard work he puts in?
