Warrior’s Promise

“Elder Feng, thank you for the information. I shall not disturb you any further!”

After Su Mo had cleared his doubts about the Fight meet and had chatted with Elder Feng for a while, he told Feng Guang that he was leaving.

“Sure. Please go ahead!” Feng Guang did not ask Su Mo to stay on and he waved his hand at him.

Su Mo then stood up and left Feng Guang’s abode. He shook his head as he was disappointed with Feng Guang. Although Feng Guang was ready to answer his questions, Su Mo no longer respected him.

As an elder of the Sect, he had committed such a disgraceful deed!

As Feng Guang watched Su Mo leave, he shook his head. He felt that it would be a mockery if Su Mo were to take part in the Fight meet.

He is only a Rank 8 Martial Emperor Realm martial artist but he wants to take part in the Fight meet. He will be bringing shame to himself!

Even if Su Mo miraculously advanced to Rank 9 Martial Emperor Realm after one month and met the prerequisites to take part in the Fight meet, it would be meaningless!

Feng Guang did not think that Su Mo had the ability to contend with the geniuses from the seven big forces.

…

After Su Mo left Feng Guang’s abode, he went back to his courtyard. He activated the array in his courtyard and started to work on his cultivation.

There was still slightly more than a month before the Fight meet and he wanted to give it a try. He wanted to break through to Rank 9 Martial Emperor Realm so that he could meet the prerequisites to take part in the Fight meet.

“I wonder if 120,000 Lower Spiritual Crystals is enough!” Su Mo sighed as he sat cross-legged in his room and took out his Spiritual Crystals and counted them.

All he had was this many Spiritual Crystals. He still had weapons, martial arts, and other items, and he could sell them off for a tidy sum of Spiritual Crystals.

After a while, Su Mo shut his eyes and started with his cultivation. He did not swallow the Spiritual Crystals immediately but he worked on condensing his foundation. By doing so, he had more confidence in breaking through to the next rank.

He activated the Grand Chaos Five Elements Skill and the five-colored Dark Force surged out from the Divine Elixir. The Dark Force then gushed through all the meridians in Su Mo’s body like a river.

Day after day, Su Mo spent time working on his cultivation.

Very quickly, half a month had passed and Su Mo finally stopped his cultivation. He then slowly opened his eyes.

How I wish to be able to break through the shackles!

He sighed. He entered into the Bangle Space and took out all the Spiritual Crystals that he had.

He placed the 120,000 Lower Spiritual Crystals around him and they dazzled brightly.

“Devour!”

Su Mo released his Devouring Fighting Soul and the huge Devouring Maelstrom appeared. It slowly rotated and a horrifying devouring power swirled out in all directions.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The 120,000 Lower Spiritual Crystals were being devoured by the Devouring Fighting Soul in an instant, and even the void was being consumed.

When the Spiritual Crystals entered the Fighting Soul, they turned into a forceful Spiritual Qi and surged crazily into Su Mo’s body.

Su Mo then started to refine it. Although the Spiritual Qi was forceful, Su Mo had no problem withstanding it as he possessed the body of the Guardian Warrior.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Spiritual Qi was like a river, flowing all over Su Mo’s body. It had been refined into a pure Five Elements Dark Force and it entered the Five Divine Elixirs in Su Mo’s body.

The Five Divine Elixirs had the support of the vast amount of Spiritual Qi and it started to shake rigorously, attempting to break through the shackles.

Su Mo continued to refine his Spiritual Qi to break through the shackles. Thunderous sounds rumbled in his body as the vigorous Dark Force continued to push through his body.

The ordinary martial artists would not have devoured the Spiritual Qi as what he had done. Even if they had done so, they would not have pushed themselves to break through the shackles like him.

Their bodies would not be able to take it. As Su Mo possessed the unique physique of the body of the Guardian Warrior, he was able to take a lashing from the vast Spiritual Qi.

Time passed by quickly and Su Mo had used up a large amount of Spiritual Qi in a short while.

Two hours later, sweat started to form on Su Mo’s forehead and his face turned red. However, he was still stuck and did not manage to break through the shackles.

There was not much Spiritual Qi left and it could only sustain him for another hour.

Su Mo ignored that fact and he continued to push his way through. One hour later, he had finally used up all the Spiritual Qi.

However, he still had not had a breakthrough.

Hoof!

Su Mo blew out a mouthful of foul air from his mouth. The foul air was like a sword and it pierced through the void.

Since I am unable to have a breakthrough, I will have to ask Senior Brother Zhen Xian to help me! Su Mo sighed. If he did not advance to Rank 9 Martial Emperor Realm, he would not be qualified to take part in the Fight meet.

In this case, he had to ask Saint Zhen Xian for help if he wanted to go to Sun Moon Tribe to take part in the Fight meet.

Saint Zhen Xian was one of the Holy Elders in Path Sect and he should be able to help Su Mo!

Su Mo then left his abode and went to look for him.

Saint Zhen Xian was in the palace and when Su Mo found him, he told him of his intention.

Saint Zhen Xian did not turn down Su Mo’s request. He immediately agreed to help Su Mo as this was a small matter to him. He simply had to pass down the instruction to the elder who would be leading the team to the Fight meet.

Moreover, Saint Zhen Xian was well aware of Su Mo’s strength. Su Mo would be a dark horse in the Fight meet and he was basically invincible.

Su Mo was pleased that Saint Zhen Xian had agreed to help him and he bid Saint Zhen Xian farewell and went back to his own courtyard.

Since everything had been settled, he would simply wait for the day of the Fight meet to come.

The Fight meet was secondary to Su Mo. It was more important for him to be able to meet Qingxuan.

I still have some time. I shall try to get more insights on the Devouring Ultimacy!

Su Mo sat cross-legged in the courtyard and tried to have a better understanding of the Devouring Ultimacy. He had advanced too quickly in his cultivation and had slackened in this aspect.

He had heard that the understanding of the Devouring Ultimacy would affect the later stages of his cultivation. If he did not have a deep understanding of the Devouring Ultimacy, he would stop at the Martial Sage Realm and never become a master at the Empty God Realm.

Since he had the time, he might as well use it on understanding it.

Su Mo activated the Devouring Fighting Soul and the devouring power spread out. He then sat quietly to meditate on the Devouring Ultimacy.

Since he was trying to understand the Devouring Ultimacy, which was incongruent with his Devouring Fighting Soul, he found it less tedious.

His understanding of the Devouring Ultimacy was only at the first level, and it was at the initial stage which was way too low.

If he could raise his understanding to the second level, together with the power of his Devouring Fighting Soul, the devouring power would be increased by at least 20 percent. The power would then be more forceful.

Time passed by quickly and Su Mo went into a state of meditation like an old monk, completely immersing himself into it.

In the twinkle of an eye, 10 days had passed.

Su Mo stopped meditating and walked out of his courtyard.

This was the day that Feng Guang had told him that they would set off for Sun Moon Tribe. All the Rank 9 Martial Emperor Realm disciples could gather in the Square if they wanted to take part in the Fight meet.

“Qingxuan, I hope to be able to see you next time!”

When the sun rose, Su Mo walked out. He put on a blue shirt, which fluttered in the wind.
