Warrior’s Promise

“You will lose!” Su Mo replied coldly. He was equally full of confidence. The two of them looked at each other, both brimming with rage. Each was determined to win the position of the Young Priest.

With regards to the Young Priest position, Su Mo had been planning this for a long time. It was only through becoming a Young Priest that he would have the chance to save Qing Xuan. Also, if he won the position, he would be able to do whatever he wanted in the Sorcerer Tribe.

As for Wu Ren Wang, he had been waiting for the Young Priest position for way an even longer time. In the previous selection, he had lost to Wu Ling. This was his final chance. No matter what, he had to get it.

“Do you dare to make a bet with me?” seeing Su Mo’s confidence, Wu Ren Wang’s lips instantly broke into a smile.

“I won’t reject!” replied Su Mo, his expression indifferent. He was extremely confident, no matter what the other man wanted to bet, he would accept it altogether.

“Ten thousand Lower Spiritual Crystals, do you dare?” said Wu Ren Wang in a low voice. He had placed a very large bet. For a Martial Emperor Realm warrior, ten thousand Lower Spiritual Crystals was a huge fortune. This was especially true for Su Mo, who was of the lower level in the Martial Emperor Realm. Ten thousand Lower Spiritual Crystals would be of use to all his assets. Furthermore, he may not even have ten thousand of them to offer if he lost.

“It’s settled!” Su Mo nodded seriously, and seemingly accepted the other party’s bet without fear. Although he did not have ten thousand Lower Spiritual Crystals, he was confident of emerging victorious.

The crowd looked at the two men who were blazing with anger. Their hearts were even more full of anticipation. The two warriors were full of confidence. Could it be that they were confident because they both had cultivated the Heaven Sword Skill to the Great Completion Realm?

The High Priest’s gaze wandered. As he looked at Wu Ren Wang and then Su Mo, a weird ray of light flashed in his eyes. He already knew the outcome. The upcoming demonstration between the two candidates was merely a courtesy for him.

“Both of you, demonstrate at the same time!” commanded the High Priest. After which, he waved his sleeves to the left and right. Two gusts of wind swept across the grounds and instantly whirled Su Mo and Wu Ren Wang apart. They were each swept to the opposite ends of Grand Sorcerer Grounds, 400 meters away from each other.

In the next instant, the both of them attacked at the same time!

“Up!”

“Heaven Sword Skill!”

They shouted at the same time and demonstrated their Heaven Sword Skills. In an instant, the winds and clouds of the Grand Sorcerer Grounds changed. Rocks, dirt, leaves, and other debris flew up. Furthermore, as they were both situated at the ends of the square, the effect of the demonstration was felt inside the square.

Within two hundred meters of Wu Ren Wang, a large number of gravel, fallen leaves, and even the rubble of many buildings were mobilized. Countless bits and pieces shone with clear brilliant rays, emitting shocking Sword Qi. They turned into sharp swords that shot through the vast sky, growing in power, and rushed to attack the High Priest.

Wu Ren Wang’s Heaven Sword Skill was relatively powerful. It was more than ten times that of the previous contenders. It was even ten times more powerful that the Heaven Sword Skill of Wu Ma.

Of course, there was a reason behind it. This was due to the fact that Wu Ren Wang’s cultivation was relatively high, hence he naturally maximized the Heaven Sword Skill power. However, if he didn’t have this advantage, the level of Wu Ren Wang’s Heaven Sword Skill would not have exceeded Wu Ma’s.

But, at that moment, no one was paying attention to Wu Ren Wang. Everyone’s gaze was attracted to Su Mo. On the other side of the grounds, it was as if the earth had lost its gravity. Within three, four hundred meters, countless number of objects flew up. Gravel, fallen leaves, sawdust, plaques, rubble, and even some fragile buildings were torn apart. Countless objects flew high into the sky, covering the sky and ground, emitting radiant Sword Light.

“Go!”

Su Mo pointed and the countless number of objects flashed, firing towards the High Priest. The objects turned into sharp swords, as if it was a vast Sword Shower array. The sword power rushed towards the sky, its aura majestic and forming a Sword Hurricane that enveloped the space.

Su Mo’s cultivation was much lower than that of Wu Ren Wang. However, his power of Heaven Sword Skill was more powerful than ever. With a glance, one could tell which was strong and which was weak.

Exactly how advanced was Wu Chen’s comprehension? In three days, he was able to cultivate the Heaven Sword Skill to such an impressive extent. He was simply blowing away the performances of the others, such as Wu Qiong and Wu Tian Yu.

What did this mean?

It meant that Wu Ren Wang was going to lose and Wu Chen would emerge victorious! The Young Priest position was most likely going to be Wu Chen’s.

“Ha, ha! Both are not bad, both have reached Great Completion Realm!” chuckled the High Priest. Then, with a wave of his sleeve, Wu Ren Wang and Su Mo’s attacks disappeared in an instant.

The crowd fell silent, however, Wu Ren Wang’s face darkened.

He had actually lost, how was this possible?

Wu Ren Wang’s heart roared. Wu Chen had a trifling Level 3 Martial Emperor Realm Cultivation. How was it possible for him to have such powerful comprehension? How could his Heaven Sword Skill Cultivation be this profound?

It was simply impossible!

Wu Ren Wang was not afraid of losing Spiritual Crystals. Despite the many crystals he possessed, they were still just physical objects to him. He was more afraid of losing the Young Priest position.

The crowd was so still, one could hear a pin drop. Everyone was looking at the High Priest, waiting to see how he would make a decision!

Both Wu Chen and Wu Ren Wang passed the third stage of the test at the same time. According to the rules, both of them were eligible to become Young Priests. However, at every Young Priest selection, there could only be one chosen. In the second stage, Wu Chen had attained first place. In this final stage, he had attained first place again. His performance evidently surpassed that of Wu Ren Wang. As such, Wu Chen was most likely to be selected to become the next Young Priest.

Su Mo looked calm and his gaze also fell upon the High Priest. His performance surpassed everyone else’s. He believed that if the High Priest was not unfair, then he would definitely be chosen.

Looking up to the stage, the High Priest could be seen muttering to himself, then he turned to look at Fourth Priest beside him. The two of them looked at each other, then, the Fourth Priest nodded. Evidently, the two Priests were exchanging their heartfelt opinions silently.

After a while, the High Priests stopped conversing and looked at Su Mo.

“Wu Chen’s talent is superb and his results are stellar. After discussing with the Fourth Priest, we decide that he has become our final victor, the title of our Tribe’s Young Priest position is his!”

The High Priest’s voice was as loud as thunder as it spread through the Grand Sorcerer Grounds, Heavenly Underworld City, and the surrounding Nine Guard Cities. The grounds were dead silent. The ten core city clusters of the entire Sorcerer Tribe were also quiet, as everyone heard the High Priest’s voice.

The High Priest had definitively announced the final results of the Young Priest selection to the Tribe. The crowd on Grand Sorcerer Grounds stared at Su Mo, their eyes green with envy. The position of the Young Priest was indeed Wu Chen’s. This was an outcome that no one could have possibly foreseen.

However, there were those who could not feel happy. They simply could not accept this fact. These few people included Wu Tian Yu, Wu Qiong, as well as elder Wu yuan. Resentment still existed between Wu Chen and these three men. Now that Wu Chen was a Young Priest, his status was much higher than theirs, a development which weighed on their minds.

Even though Wu Yuan was an ordinary elder of the tribe, when measured with the Tribe’s new Young Priest, it was evident that he was of a lower status and identity.

Hence, the three of them were simply unwilling to accept this fact! Yet, the decision was right in front of their faces. Regardless if they accepted it or not, their anger would not change anything.

“I! Am! Indignant!” a low voice filled with anger rang out unexpectedly.

Wu Ren Wang had shouted against the decision of the High Priest!
