Chapter 1377 - Let The Result Speak for Itself
Chapter 1377: Let The Result Speak for Itself
Two days passed by quickly and the day had finally come for them to set off.
Early in the morning, Su Mo left Huo Yuan Peak and came to the entrance of Shenwu Academy.
The entrance of Shenwu Academy was already packed with a few hundred people and it was extremely noisy.
“Brother Su, this way!” Xie Bin shouted and waved at Su Mo when he saw him.
Su Mo turned around and saw that Xie Bin was with a group of men from the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction and he went over to them.
Many people were looking at Su Mo when he arrived as he had become famous in the recent months.
It was significant to be listed at the first position of the True Sage Board!
The way that the people from the different factions looked at Su Mo varied.
Some were filled with envy, some of them looked at him with disdain, some were unhappy and some were even looking at him with animosity.
The people who were envious of Su Mo were jealous of his talent and ranking on the True Sage Board.
Those who looked at him with disdain found him an embarrassment as Su Mo did not even show up when people from other places had come to challenge him and humiliate him.
Those of them who were unhappy were not convinced of his ranking. First of all, although Su Mo had great talent, his cultivation level was not high. It was too absurd to place him on the top position of the True Sage Board.
Moreover, it was only a speculation that he possessed four Fighting Souls and two unique physiques. No one had witnessed them.
Thus, many of them were unhappy with the ranking.
However, when they realized that Su Mo had reached Rank 6 Martial Emperor Realm, they were shocked by his amazing cultivation speed.
Those who looked at Su Mo with animosity were apparently the men from the Taishi Family Faction. Su Mo had killed many of their geniuses and he was their arch-enemy.
“Good morning, everyone!” Su Mo cupped his fist at the men from the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction as he gathered with them.
There were only more than 30 of them from the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction and Xie Bin’s cultivation level was the lowest among them.
However, Xie Bin’s cultivation level was no longer at Rank 4 Martial Emperor Realm as he had had a breakthrough to the Rank 5 Martial Emperor Realm.
“Good morning, Brother Su!” The men greeted Su Mo.
“Brother Su, I noticed that you have reached Rank 6 Martial Emperor Realm. Do you have the confidence to leave your name on the True Sage Stele?” Xie Bin asked curiously, as it he needed to know whether he was able to do it.
Xie Bin had thought that Su Mo was making the trip to the True Sage Territory in the hope of obtaining the True Sage Qi and to leave his name on the True Sage Stele. He did not know about Su Mo’s issue with the Sorcerer Tribe.
“I have no idea about the situation in True Sage Territory so how confident can I be!” Su Mo said and shook his head. Although he was confident of his strength, he had no idea if he could leave his name on the True Sage Stele.
“Erm…!” Xie Bin was speechless. Su Mo was ranked number one on the True Sage Board and thus Xie Bin felt that Su Mo should not voice concern even though he had no confidence of leaving his name on the True Sage Stele!
“What about you?” Su Mo asked with a smile.
“Me?”
When Xie Bin heard that, he smiled and replied, “I am going there only to widen my horizons!”
Xie Bin felt that he did not have the chance of leaving his name on the True Sage Stele but he did not want to miss the opportunity to watch the geniuses of the Ancientspirit Galaxy vie over it.
While the two of them were chatting, more people had gathered at the entrance of the Academy. Ren Yundu, who was at Rank 9 Martial Emperor Realm, was there as well.
“Brother Su!” Ren Yundu cupped his fist at Su Mo as he stood before him.
“Brother Ren!” Su Mo responded.
Ren Yundu turned his head to look around and then he said softly, “Brother Su, I have heard that many people are waiting to see you fail in this trip to the True Sage Territory!”
“Oh?”
When Su Mo heard that, he smiled and said, “Just let them be!”
Su Mo was not bothered by them. These people wanted to see him become a laughing stock as they were unhappy with his ranking on the True Sage Board.
“Brother Su, I don’t agree with you. Since they are unhappy with your ranking and want to see you fail, in order to shut their mouth, you should show them that you are capable.” Ren Yundu said.
At that instant, a derisive voice was heard, saying, “Hohoho! He has to have the ability to do so!”
When Su Mo and Ren Yundu heard that, they looked at the direction where the voice came from and saw You Tianhan walking toward them with a group of people from the Taishi Family Faction.
Su Mo immediately squinted his eyes and a cold light glittered in them.
Step! Step! Step!
You Tianhan walked straight to Su Mo and looked at him with animosity.
At that instant, the entrance of the Academy quietened down. All of them looked at You Tianhan and Su Mo and the atmosphere was tense.
“Su Mo, when you reach the True Sage Territory, you will know that your ranking as number one on the True Sage Board is simply a joke!” You Tianhan said and curled his lips into a smile.
“Whether or not it is a joke is not up to you to decide!” Su Mo replied coldly.
“Hohoho, indeed. It is not up to me to decide!”
You Tianhan nodded and said with a smile, “Let the result speak for itself. You will know the difference between you and the rest of us who have been listed on the True Sage Board when we are at the True Sage Territory!”
You Tianhan looked derisively at Su Mo. Four Fighting Souls? Two unique physiques? Even if what has been said is true, what difference does it make?
Although You Tianhan knew that Su Mo’s cultivation level had reached Rank 6 Martial Emperor Realm and his cultivation speed was amazing, Su Mo’s cultivation was still too low.
Wu Renwang would definitely kill Su Mo on this trip and You Tianhan would do no doubt attempt the same thing.
“Oh?”
Su Mo laughed and shrugged his shoulders and said, “All right. I am looking forward to seeing your great power and the difference between us!”
“Hohoho! Open your eyes wide!” You Tianhan smiled confidently and turned to walk away.
When the disciples heard the conversation between You Tianhan and Su Mo, they smiled. This trip to the True Sage Territory was Su Mo’s opportunity to prove himself.
If Su Mo performed badly, it would be a humiliation to his accredited ranking and he would bring shame to Shenwu Academy.
If Su Mo performed well and successfully left his name on the True Sage Stele, he could then secure his position as number one on the True Sage Board.
However, given Su Mo’s current cultivation, it seemed unlikely for him to perform well.
“Presumptuous!” Xie Bin said softly as he gritted his teeth.
“Brother Su, you must leave your name on the True Sage Stele and show him that you are capable of doing so!” Ren Yundu said.
“All right!” Su Mo nodded but he did not take it to heart. Although You Tianhan was powerful, he was nothing in the eyes of Su Mo. Su Mo’s greatest threat was the geniuses from the Main Branch of the Sorcerer Tribe.
There were several people from the Sorcerer Tribe whose names were listed on the True Sage Board. The one with the highest ranking among them was Wu Shang who was ranked number eight on the True Sage Board.
Su Mo knew that since the Grand Priest wanted to kill him at the True Sage Territory, he would not depend on the other geniuses of the Heavenly Underworld Star to do it so. He would let the geniuses from his Main Branch deal with Su Mo.
In any case, for this trip to the True Sage Territory, Su Mo not only had to leave his name on the True Sage Stele but he also had to handle the attacks from the Sorcerer Tribe and ensure his own safety.
