Warrior’s Promise

In the room, Su Mo was trying his best to devour the Class 6 Lv 2 Beast Souls.

Obviously, the Beast Souls at this level were extremely strong.

After the Soul Crystal was broken, the Beast Souls all crazily rushed out either toward Su Mo or away from the crystal rapidly.

Due to their high level, these Beast Souls still retained consciousness.

However, no matter how they struggled, they still could not escape their fate of being devoured.

Su Mo’s Martial Soul was already Rank 8 Human Class, and it not only became larger, but also had an infinitely stronger devouring force than before.

“Boom! Boom!”

His three-meter-tall Devouring Martial Spirit hovered behind him, and in its black vortex, a strong devouring force exploded.

As these Beast Souls were devoured one after another, the Devouring Martial Spirit slowly began to tremble.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Gradually, more of the Soul Crystals were crushed in Su Mo’s hands, and Beast Souls were devoured one by one.

Not long after, all of those 1,000 Class 6 Lv 2 Beast Souls were gone.

Su Mo’s Martial Soul still had not progressed, however.

“Sh*t!”

Su Mo could not help but curse. He knew that with the increase in the level of his Devouring Martial Spirit, it was inevitable that more and more Beast Souls were needed.

But still, he had devoured a large number of Beast Souls. And actually, it was several or dozens of times more than before.

These 1,000 Class 6 Lv 2 Beast Souls were roughly equivalent to tens of thousands of Class 3 Lv 2 Beast Souls.

But after devouring them, his Martial Soul unexpectedly still had not progressed!

Su Mo had already devoured numerous Martial Souls on the battlefield, and this time, he devoured 1,000 more Class 6 Lv 2 Beast Souls.

The number of Beast Souls and Martial Souls that he devoured had already reached a terrifying level.

“Continue!”

Su Mo took a deep breath and started to devour the Class 7 Lv 2 Beast Souls.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The crackling sounds of broken Soul Crystals continuously arose.

Eventually, his Devouring Martial Spirit responded after it had devoured over 100 Class 7 Lv 2 Beast Souls.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Abruptly, Su Mo’s Martial Soul emitted a yellow light after it shook for several breaths.

A ninth yellow halo suddenly appeared, and all the halos shined simultaneously.

Rank 9 Human Class Martial Soul!

Su Mo was finally relieved because this progression was better than anything.

Immediately, the 200 remaining Beast Souls were completely devoured by him.

“Well, it still seems far from the Earth Class Martial Soul!”

After withdrawing his Martial Soul, Su Mo was a little depressed about this result.

However, with his improvements in strength, the day that he would progress to an Earth Class Martial Soul was not so far away.

Moreover, among the disciples of Gale Island, somebody who possessed a Martial Soul of the Rank 9 Human Class was already a super genius.

Besides the core disciple, Duan Jingtian, no one could overtake him in their Martial Soul level.

“Still too slow!”

Su Mo shook his head. He realized that at this speed of improving his strength, it would take a long time to have enough strength to find Xi’er.

“The Central Continent!”

“It’s so remote!”

Su Mo secretly sighed at the fact that he had not even left Skymoon Country, let alone Hong Domain and the East Continent!

In addition, Su Mo had once said that he would go to the Emperor Xuan Palace in just five years to challenge Shangguan Hao.

It had now already been over a year since he had said those words.

Time was running out!

“After this Outer Disciple Competition, I’ll go out to gain more experience!”

Su Mo thought for a second, “I’ll never come back unless my cultivation is at a higher level in the Spiritual Martial Realm!”

“Now, I’ll condense the fifth Spiritual Spiral!”

After a short while, Su Mo cleared the turbid thoughts from his mind and closed his eyes to condense the fifth Spiritual Spiral.

Once he condensed it successfully, he could explode a five-fold combat strength out, which would make him more powerful than before.

Nine Spirals Mystique was operating.

In Su Mo’s elixir field, one of the Spiritual Spirals started to slowly split.

The last time in Guanwu City, because his human body could not bear the five Spiritual Spirals’ imposing manner, Su Mo was not able to condense it.

But now, the strength of his human body was much more powerful than it was at that time, so it was surprisingly easy for him to condense it.

In less than an hour, Su Mo successfully condensed the fifth Spiritual Spiral.

When he wanted to continue and attempt to condense the sixth Spiritual Spiral, he gave up decisively after trying for a moment.

The pressure of the sixth Spiritual Spiral was so strong that he realized there was no chance of success.

“When my human body is stronger, then I’ll try again!”

“But now, five Spiritual Spirals is strong enough,” Su Mo thought.

Just at that moment in his body, the five Spiritual Spirals slowly revolved in a circle, and endless Genuine Qi surged inside of them.

Five Spiritual Spirals, five-fold combat strength.

Though Su Mo just had the cultivation at the Peak Lv 4 Spiritual Martial Realm, it could be said with certainty that he was a match for any Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm martial artist.

Even if his opponent was Yi Xiaoguang, who ranked seventh among the Outer Gate disciples, Su Mo would still be able to fight with him.

Then, he again released his Martial Soul and began to cultivate.

Due to his rapid improvements in cultivation, his Genuine Qi was still not very powerful. To step into Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm earlier, it was necessary for him to exercise his Genuine Qi hard.

“Boom!”

After progressing to the Rank 9 Human Class, his Devouring Martial Spirit’s speed of absorbing Spiritual Qi was very fast.

Just a little push allowed the surrounding Spiritual Qi to rush in torrents.

The Devouring Martial Spirit overwhelmingly absorbed the Spiritual Qi like a whale taking in water.

At that moment, the Spiritual Qi in the room became extremely powerful.

…

Over the following days, Su Mo stayed in seclusion.

Finally, half a month later, he came out of seclusion energetically.

At this time, Su Mo was full of essence, Qi, and spirit. Meanwhile, the Genuine Qi in his body had also been extremely condensed, and he had already reached the tipping point of progressing into Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm.

It was only a matter of time before Su Mo would progress his cultivation and step into Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm.

Carrying the Black-dark Sword on his back, Su Mo returned to the cliff where he was used to practicing.

“Clang!”

Unsheathing the Black-dark Sword, Su Mo practiced swordsmanship for a while and then he returned the sword back into its sheath.

“Great! This Black-dark Sword could make my strength grow tremendously!”

He was very satisfied with this sword.

Because of its heavy blade, the speed of this sword was slower than that of the jewel long sword,

but if he improved his strength a little, this kind of difference would be completely eliminated.

Standing on top of the mountain, Su Mo sheathed the Black-dark Sword and raised his fists to practice his fistplay.

He practiced Tiger Roaring and Dragon Fist, the post-archean martial skill.

All of its methods and movements were inked into Su Mo’s heart. The cultivation had officially begun.

This fistplay had only four movements.

First, Tiger Roaring Forest!

Second, Tiger Roaring and Dragon Crying!

Third, Dragon Conquering the World!

Fourth, Dragon Battle in the Star Field!

He started cultivating from the first move, Tiger Roaring Forest.

Just like a tiger, Su Mo brandished his fists with great strength and vehemence.

As time went on, his speed gradually became faster and faster, and continuous fist shadows could be seen. Furthermore, the occasional tiger roaring made by his fistplay even shook the mountains and forests.
