Warrior’s Promise

Casino Valley was located between Dark Sky Peak and Bluesky Peak.

It was a giant valley that was over 50 kilometers long and thousands of meters wide.

Su Mo was shocked upon arrival. He had not expected Casino Valley to be so popular. A rabbling crowd of tens of thousands of people had gathered on the sides of the valley.

Su Mo was thankful. With hundreds of thousands of disciples, the Celestialspirit Sect was like a small country. It contained practicing arenas, fighting rings, cultivating rooms, and more. It was way better than anything small sects like Gale Island could achieve.

“Brother Su Mo!” someone exclaimed as soon as he arrived.

Su Mo turned to see Hong Qingxuan standing in front of him with a wide smile.

She was flanked by a girl in blue and a girl in teal. The girl in blue had average looks and was slightly older at about 23 years old. The girl in teal was around 18 years old and was very beautiful, but her thin lips gave her a cold appearance.

“Haha! Qingxuan, I didn’t think you’d be here,” Su Mo walked up and said with a smile, but he was quickly surprised after taking a close look at her. In a little over a month, Hong Qingxuan had reached Lv 1 Enlightenment Realm!

Her cultivation speed was close to his!

“Yes! This valley is close to Dark Sky Peak, so I come here often to watch the fights.” Hong Qingxuan chuckled lightly.

“Junior Sister Hong, who is this?” the girl in teal asked in confusion while sizing Su Mo up.

“Senior Sister Huang, Senior Sister Liu, let me introduce you.” Hong Qingxuan chuckled and said, “This is Su Mo, my… friend.”

Then, she turned to Su Mo and said, “Senior Brother Su Mo, these are two of my Senior Sisters from Dark Sky Peak.”

Hong Qingxuan pointed at the plain-looking girl in blue and said, “This is Senior Sister Liu Xian.”

Then, she pointed at the beautiful girl in teal and said, “This is Senior Sister Huang Yao.”

Su Mo found that they were both at Lv 4 Enlightenment Realm and greeted them with clasped fists.

“Greetings, Senior Sisters!”

They were both older and had higher cultivations than him, so he naturally called them Senior Sisters.

“You’re too polite!” the girl in blue Liu Xian said with a smile.

The beautiful girl in teal Huang Yao sized Su Mo up and only nodded with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

“Brother Su Mo, are you here to participate in gamble fights?” asked Hong Qingxuan.

“Yes! I’m here to earn some Spiritual Stones!” Su Mo said with a smile.

“Haha!” Huang Yao shook her head, chuckled, and said, “Junior Brother Su Mo, you sure have bold ambitions. Although one can earn Spiritual Stones in Casino Valley, the weak will only lose money!”

“Oh? Really?” Su Mo completely ignored her disdain and said with a smile, “Senior Sister Huang has nothing to worry about. Since I dared to come here, I’m confident I can earn Spiritual Stones.”

“Since you’re so confident, let’s wait and see!”

Huang Yao’s face revealed a mocking expression. Everyone wanted to make money in Casino Valley, but only a small part of them actually did. Most people lost everything.

Huang Yao did not like Su Mo one bit, but this was mostly because of Hong Qingxuan.

Although she and Hong Qingxuan seemed to be friends, she had always been jealous of Hong Qingxuan’s looks. Naturally, she also did not like the men who pursued Hong Qingxuan.

Hong Qingxuan glanced at Huang Yao and frowned slightly in annoyance.

“Brother Su Mo, I believe you. With your strength… ” Hong Qingxuan wanted to encourage Su Mo but was then stopped talking. She was shocked.

“Lv 3 Enlightenment Realm!” she had not noticed Su Mo’s cultivation until now.

Although she knew he was extremely talented, she was still amazed by his unnaturally fast cultivation speed!

Her cultivation increased so quickly because she used countless treasures and had the help of her master, the Fairy of the Ninth Heaven.

However, even so, she could not keep up with Su Mo.

After a while, she took a deep breath and gradually calmed herself.

“Brother Su Mo, I’ll follow your progress closely, and I won’t let you leave me behind!” she exclaimed inwardly.

Su Mo saw Hong Qingxuan’s shocked expression and knew that it was because of his cultivation. Even Feng Shaoyu and the others had been shocked by his cultivation speed, so he was not surprised by her reaction.

“Qingxuan, let’s go watch the gamble fights!” he said as he walked straight to the edge of the valley.

He looked down to see ten fighting rings and a tall platform, where a thin old man sat. He was obviously the sect elder watching over the valley.

There were intense fights going on in each of the fighting rings.

The disciples in each ring had different cultivations. Some were at the True Darkness Realm, while others were at the Enlightenment Realm and even the True Spirit Realm.

Countless disciples flew down into the valley, and countless winners earned their rewards with joy, while the losers looked devastated.

Casino Valley had no rules about keeping a winning streak. People could fight as many times as they wanted.

Su Mo found that the higher the level of the battle was, the larger the bet placed by the gambling fighters was.

He did not rush to join in and instead watched for an hour to fully understand the rules.

“Junior Brother Su Mo, are you not fighting because you are no longer confident?” Huang Yao glanced at him and smiled mockingly.

Su Mo ignored her and looked toward a fighting ring in the valley where a gamble fight had just finished. Someone else flew down from the valley and landed in the ring.

He was a tall young man in purple who was at Lv 3 Enlightenment Realm, just like Su Mo.

“I am Wei Hai from Sky-balancing Peak. I am placing a bet of 10,000 Medium Spiritual Stones. Anyone under Lv 4 Enlightenment Realm can challenge me.” he said loudly and looked around the valley.

10,000 Medium Spiritual Stones was about 10,000,000 Lower Spiritual Stones. It was a large sum. If the challenger beat Wei Hai, they could win 30%. That was about 3000 Medium Spiritual Stones!

“Haha! Time to get started!” Su Mo smiled and walked toward that specific fighting ring.
