Warrior’s Promise

Everyone was stunned speechless by Su Mo’s actions.

In actual fact, no one had seen something like that happen before. After all, who would dare to break the rules?

The rules of the second round were that the one who passed would be the one who was able to stay the longest on the platform.

Hence, even if anyone had that kind of thought, they wouldn’t act upon it but steadfastly abide by the rules of the round.

However, Su Mo did it at the speed of light and successfully passed the second round light that. This made everyone’s jaws drop to the ground.

Especially Wu Ren Wang and You Tian Han, whose eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.

“Damn it!”

Seeing that Su Mo had successfully passed the round, Wu Ren Wang felt even more disgusted than if he had eaten a spider. However, his thoughts immediately changed. Su Mo passing to go through to the third round was a good thing. He wouldn’t be able to escape at the third round.

“The faster he passes the round, the faster he will die!” You Tian Han coldly thought to himself.

However, before the rest of the crowd could ponder on this further, the Holy Rain rained down on them and they immediately shielded themselves with all their might.

The Holy Rain that covered the entire area were like streaks of Spritula Swords that stabbed each platform.

Ah! Ah! Ah!

In an instant, screams filled the air. As everyone was affected by what they saw from Su Mo, many of them had lost their focus and could not dodge the rain of swords in time. Many of them were instantly pierced by the rain of swords.

This was death for them. Not only were they eliminated once they fell from the swords, they were killed instantly.

Many others who had been affected by Su Mo’s actions sustained heavy injuries.

“Damn it!”

After one round of sword rainfall, many of those who were heavily injured glared at Su Mo. If it weren’t for Su Mo, they wouldn’t even be injured.

Those with light injuries still stood their ground. However, those with heavy injuries immediately flew off their own platforms by themselves in case they were going to have their lives endangered by from the next round of the Holy Rain.

At that moment, Su Mo who had successfully passed the second round remained calm.

To be able to sweep everyone off his platform with a single palm, firstly, was thanks to his Devouring Fighting Soul. Secondly, the contestants on his platform were taken completely by surprise. They had no idea that Su Mo would strike them like that.

At that point, the platform underneath his feet had vanished. He had just thought of flying over to the True Sage Stele when suddenly an invisible force appeared before him, blocking his way forward.

Su Mo felt helpless. Perhaps he had to wait until the other participants had all passed the second round, or maybe he could only go after the third round was done.

Su Mo already had an idea to escape. Te plan was to capture a few top Sorcerer Tribe geniuses and take them as hostage.

Of course, the likelihood of escaping unscathed was low, it wasn’t too easy to threaten a Martial Sage. Yet, it was still a thread of hope for him.

“Get off!”

Right at that moment, a thunderous yell sounded and it shook his surroundings.

Ju Mo, who was standing on one of the platforms, suddenly raged out and a giant punch the size of an aquarium suddenly appeared and stuck out against the rest of the people on his platform.

Ah! Ah! Ah!!

With the massive fist radiance on them, shrieks sounded unstoppably as a few dozen people were taken by surprise. Instantly, they spewed out blood as they were thrown off the platform.

“Die!”

“Get off!”

“All of you get off!”

Almost at the same time, chaos ensued on a few hundred other platforms. Before the next wave of Holy Rain assault came down on them, the people on these platforms started to fight against one another.

Jiang Shen Ye, Fei Zhangyun, Hei Feng, Wu Shang and even Wu Ren Wang also took action.

Since they could pass the round once they pushed the others of the platform, then these exceptional geniuses naturally didn’t want to compete via seeing who could withstood the longest. Hence, they all started to strike out.

As long as they could push the others of the platform, then they, like Su Mo, would be able to pass the round.

In seconds, almost half of the platforms had become a scene of chaotic fighting.

Dong! Dong! Dong dong dong!!

Booms sounded out continuously, shaking the skies as aura and power surged all over the place. Various kinds of attacks and blows were exchanged on the large platforms.

“Shoosh~~~!”

Su Mo was speechless upon seeing this scene. None of these people also wanted to abide by the rules to pass the second round and they actually all tried to mimic his method.

However, Su Mo’s was a sneak attack on the others on his platforms, in addition to his Devouring Fighting Soul. This made it easy for him to pass the round.

Now that everyone else knew about this method, they were all prepared. Even if it was someone like Ju Mo, it wouldn’t be easy for him to instantly defeat all the other contestants on his platform.

…

Outside.

It was crowded outside, and people seemed to cover the entire landscape. This was because those who did not pass the Holy Gate in the first round were all automatically transferred out.

Waves of voices rose above one another. Many of those that had been ousted were grumbling and complaining in frustration.

However, the entire scene instantly quietened down as everyone watched the virtual screen in front of the various clan leaders.

As they saw Su Mo striking out and causing everyone else on his platform to fly off, their mouths instantly gaped open.

“My god, Su Mo has passed!”

“He kicked everyone off the platform, leaving him alone so he passed naturally!”

“My god, that is actually possible!”

“So despicable!”

A short while later, the scene outside was chaotic. Like the geniuses in the True Sage Territory itself, everyone was stunned.

Even the leaders of the superpowers were shocked and at a loss for words.

“He doesn’t know his place!”

The Grand Priest frowned and turned serious. Su Mo being able to sweep everyone off his platform with a single strike… this was rare for a Martial Emperor.

Although Su Mo did a surprise attack, the blow he gave was pretty typical. Yet, as a Rank 6 Martial Emperor, he had managed to throw Rank 8 and 9 Martial Emperors with a single blow. Such a strength was extraordinary.

“This young lad is interesting!” Sage of Swords Xiao Yao smiled. He did find the method that Su Mo used particularly interesting.

On another side, Wu Jin, Tang Wan and the other instructors from Shen Wu Academy was at a loss for words Su Mo’s actions. They could neither laugh nor cry.

“Not only does this lad have great talents, his actions are also very astounding!” the instructors thought to themselves.

Even the cold Instructor Mu Li who hardly laughed nor talked, couldn’t help but let a slight smile appear on her face.

However, upon thinking of the Sorcerer Tribe’s murderous intentions towards Su Mo, the smile on her face was instantly wiped off and a flash of worry crossed her eyes.

Woosh woosh woosh~~

At that moment, a space not far away from the crowd suddenly vibrated. The 200 other geniuses on the same platform as Su Mo appeared.

The moment these men came out, they wore a dazed look on their faces.

However, they very quickly realised that they had been kicked off their platforms by Su Mo. With such an absurd way of being eliminated, they all erupted with anger.

“Su Mo, I am not done with you!” Ju Huang yelled out angrily, as though his wrongful feelings and anger were about to burst out of his heart and shake the skies.

He was angry! He was hateful!

This wrongfulness of it all almost drove him mad!

He was fully confident that he could have endured until the end and passed the second round successfully.

However, Su Mo’s sudden attack did not even allow him to meet the assault of the Holy Rain before he was ousted. How could he not be angry!

Fei Hua and the other 200 over geniuses were not any better than Ju Huang. They were all so angry that they almost puked blood out and were so mad that they seemed to have the intention of scolding their elders.

This feeling of dejection was too much. By the time Su Mo comes out, they would be unwilling to let him go without a fight.

However, when they thought of the Sorcerer Tribe’s murderous intentions towards Su Mo, the rage within their hearts slowly dissipated.

Su Mo – this rascal – would definitely not be able to get out of the True Sage Territory.
