Warrior’s Promise

Sikong Yan strode into the Stone Gate and froze at once.

Su Mo gazed at Sikong Yan with widened eyes.

After 10 seconds or so, there was a swirl of white light and Sikong Yan disappeared immediately.

“What? He’s actually in!” Su Mo thought in surprise, his eyes lighting up. Sikong Yan had obviously succeeded in entering the inner mansion.

A lot of people in front of the Stone Gate cried out at Sikong Yan’s success.

“Who’s he? It took 10 seconds only!”

“Amazing! He’s probably from East Continent according to what he said.”

“This person will likely to be on the List of 10,000 Talents in the future,” The crowd was shocked and they talked about what they had witnessed. Although there were several dozens who had entered the inner mansion, the majority of them had spent more than 40 seconds.

Only a few people recorded a time of around 10 seconds.

His combat capacity must be extremely high and he was bound to possess spectacular hidden cards in order for him to pass the entry test and enter the inner mansion within 10 seconds.

Gong Lin smiled. He knew that Sikong Yan would be able to enter the inner mansion easily with his abilities. Even he was confident that he could do it. However, he did not dare to take the risk.

Gong Lin sat down cross-legged, biding his time until Sikong Yan returned.

Just then, a figure bolted through the Stone Gate.

Gong Lin sneered when he saw the figure. It was none other than Su Mo.

“You’d better die in the formation!” Gong Lin thought maliciously. He would feel at ease even if Su Mo simply picked up an injury.

To him, there was no greater shame than to be brutally defeated in public at the last Talents’ Grand Gathering of East Continent.

The Spiritual Sword had stabbed more than 20 blood holes in his body in that battle. It had been a terrible sight.

Therefore, Gong Lin resented Su Mo deeply. He would have long exploded had he not known that he was no match for Su Mo.

Right after Sikong Yan entered the inner mansion, Su Mo rushed into the Stone Gate like lightning without any hesitation.

His strength was much stronger than Sikong Yan’s. There is nothing to worry about as Sikong Yan entered the inner mansion with ease.

As soon as he burst into the center of the Stone Gate, Su Mo felt the scene before him change. He arrived at an empty space.

Then, Su Mo saw a glimmer in front of him and a figure appeared.

The first sight of the silhouette confounded Su Mo. This figure resembled Su Moclosely, in appearance, expression as well as aura.

However, its cultivation was not at Lv 9 True Darkness Realm but had reached Lv 1 Martial King Realm.

Much to Su Mo’s astonishment, the figure, surrounded by five-colored Dark Force, simulated his Five Elements Dark Force.

Su Mo figured out that the ordeal to get into the inner mansion was to defeat the simulacrum, which cultivation was one level higher than his.

“It should be an illusory body created by the formation of the Stone Gate, which can imitate both cultivation and martial arts technique.”

“What a difficult test it was! How could an ordinary martial artist defeat a more powerful version of himself?”

“It was almost impossible to win with the same martial arts techniques but different cultivation.”

“A martial artist would only be able to defeat his opponent if he had mastered a certain hidden card which was beyond the simulacrum,”

Su Mo pondered in a flash. His calm expression revealed absolute confidence.

“You can imitate my property combination? No way!” Su Mo said with a laugh, merging five Dark Forces into three.

Su Mo did not hesitate to strike out with a punch.

This blow, without any feints, engendered gigantic three-colored fist radiance, pounding another simulacrum.

With Lv 1 Martial King Realm cultivation, the simulacrum used the Nirvana Swordplay instantly to slash against the fist radiance.

It used Five Elements Dark Force and Nirvana Swordplay, yet, the sword radiance was still five-colored.

The simulacrum had failed to model Su Mo’s property combination.

Swish!

The five-colored sword Qi, with great momentum, beat against Su Mo’s fist radiance all of a sudden.

Boom!

There was no doubt that everything was destroyed after a loud thump.

The simulacrum dissipatedinto nothingness instantaneously and completely vanished.

It had ended with just one move!

Even though the simulacrum had duplicated the Five Elements Dark Force and Nirvana Swordplay and had a Lv 1 Martial King Realm cultivation, it was no match for Su Mo without property combination.

The five-colored Dark Force was vastly different from the combined three-colored one. The disparity between the two was unimaginable!

After killing the simulacrum, Su Mo left this empty space for the outside space without delay.

A wave of dizziness swept over him. His body was wrapped in a white light and was sent away.

Gong Lin and other martial artists stood dully in front of the Stone Gate, staring at Su Mo who had disappeared.

After a short silence, someone said at last.

” How long did he take?”

” It seems… seems less than four seconds!”

“My god! How is it possible?”

It was a bombshell to them. It was incredible that a person had passed the formation’s trial within four seconds

Even Sang Tian, who had entered the inner mansion before, spent eight seconds, while this young man took less than four seconds!

Su Mo left everybody in a state of amazement.

Gong Lin’s face turned livid with rage. He had been imagining Su Mo’s death in the formation and had not expected Su Mo to pass through it so quickly and so much faster than Sikong Yan.

While he knew that Su Mo was powerful, it did not have much bearing on the test of the formation.

The more powerful you were, the stronger the simulacrums would be. Hence he thought Su Mo might have trouble going through the test.

But fact had proven that wrong. Su Mo’s speed of passing through the formation was evidently incomparable.

“Damn it! Why is he so powerful!” Gong Lin growled, feeling aggrieved.

Gong Lin thought of himself as a genius. However, compared with Su Mo, he actually was good for nothing.

Su Mo’s incomparable strength and his cultivating speed felt absurd to him.

Su Mo was at Lv 4 True Darkness Realm four months ago. But now Su Mo’s cultivation had already caught up with him.

Gong Lin could not help feeling aggrieved and confused. His unwavering faith in pursuing martial arts had been shaken.

All his confidence, his pride, and persistence collapsed under the shadow of Su Mo’s talent.
