Warrior's Promise

Su Mo ignored them and waved an arm. An air blast swept out and swirled them to the distance.

Then he lowered his eyes, quietly feeling the energy inside his body.

His Devouring Martial Soul had evolved successfully into a Fighting Soul. The giant 1,500-meter vortex was his Fighting Soul!

With its successful evolution, he had crossed into Lv 1 Martial Emperor Realm.

Although he had entered Lv 1 Martial Emperor Realm, his Dark Force did not experience a change. The power of his Fighting Soul, however, nurtured his physical body and increased his strength to a vast degree.

He was feeling his Fighting Soul quietly, feeling its profound, abstruse power.

Within his consciousness ocean, his Devouring Martial Soul had shrunk to several times its former size. It now hovered in his consciousness.

His Fighting Soul had penetrated his consciousness ocean, controlling everything.

Since his Fighting Soul was the integration of his Spiritual Soul and Martial Soul, he had a deeper, clearer understanding of his Fighting Soul.

His Martial Soul had evolved into a Fighting Soul and its power was again enhanced, improving by leaps and bounds.

It could now not only devour Spiritual Qi but everything. Its power had risen by a horrific degree.

Had he not stopped his Fighting Soul, everything within the bracelet domain would have been completely devoured. That included even the vast 150-kilometer land.

He now felt a sense of transcendence. His Fighting Soul had made him a higher living being.

Right now, even if his body was destroyed, he would not die.

“Ha ha! Su Mo, your Fighting Soul has definitely surpassed the Heaven-Devouring Sacred Spirit!” The Flaming Devil Ghost Sage’s laughter rang out in Su Mo’s mind. He was exclaiming with deep emotions.

The Heaven-Devouring Sacred Spirit was ranked 19th on the Ancient Martial Soul Board. It could devour absolutely everything under the heavens.

Yet, it seemed that Su Mo’s Fighting Soul was even more powerful!

Although the Heaven-Devouring Sacred Spirit could devour everything, it did not have the ability to own what it had devoured. After devouring, the Sacred Spirit would simply disappear.

It was not like Su Mo’s Fighting Soul, which could devour the blood and Martial Souls of other people and make them his own.

A massive difference!

They were not on the same level!

“Maybe!” Su Mo nodded. He did not care who he had surpassed, as long as his Fighting Soul had become stronger.

Then, he waved an arm and a small quantity of Lower Spiritual Crystals and Demonic Crystals appeared before him.

There were around 600 Spiritual Crystals here, and slightly more Demonic Crystals.

Altogether, he had over 1,200 Spiritual Crystals. He took out half of them.

“Devour them!” Su Mo bellowed quietly. He started mobilizing his Devouring Martial Soul, urging it to engulf all these Spiritual Sword and Demonic Crystals.

Now that his Martial Soul had evolved into a Fighting Soul, his control over the Fighting Soul had become extremely precise.

His Fighting Soul had integrated his Spiritual Soul and he could easily vary the strength and scale of its devouring power. It would devour wherever his mind dictated.

BAM, BAM, BAM!

Almost instantaneously, these 600 Spiritual and Demonic Crystals all exploded. Their Spiritual Qi gushed into Su Mo’s body.

Su Mo started to refine it immediately. The Spiritual Qi within these Crystals was extremely vast, like a boundless ocean.

Although a Demonic Crystal was inferior to a Spiritual Crystal, it was still worth several billion Supreme Spiritual Stones. Its discordant Demonic Qi, however, would take more time to refine.

Time passed.

Su Mo quickly refined the Spiritual Qi. The aura on his body had become even more intense and powerful.

After reaching the Martial Emperor Realm, his cultivation and Dark Force would once again improve rapidly.

After six hours, when he had completely refined all the Spiritual Qi, Su Mo stopped.

The 1,200 or so Lower Spiritual Crystals and Demonic Crystals had pushed his cultivation to the Peak Lv 1 Martial Emperor Realm.

Su Mo did not continue devouring these Spiritual Crystals. He had tried to break into another realm and felt that the barrier was rock-solid. It was almost impossible for him to succeed at this moment.

He still needed time to consolidate the realm before he could devour again and break into Lv 2 Martial Emperor Realm.

After some time, Su Mo left the Divine Map and returned to his tower.

He waited for a long time after his return but did not feel the Heavenly Punishment coming. He decided to ignore it and continue practicing. Su Mo ran the Grand Chaos Five Elements Skill around his body, consolidating his Dark Force and refining his cultivation.

It would be better for Heavenly Punishment not to come. But he would not fear even if it did!

Su Mo spent the next dozen days training quietly like this.

One early morning, he stopped his cultivation and left his tower.

Today was a lecture day. He wanted to visit Southern Yard Square to attend the lectures.

Although he had the Flaming Devil Ghost Sage as his guide, he would still attend a lecture if he had the time.

Soon, he arrived at Southern Yard Square.

He had turned up early. Only a scattered hundred or so people had gathered in the square.

“Look, that’s Su Mo who killed the Southern Yard’s Leng Jiang and He Chuanyan!”

“I hear that he has a unique constitution. All the superpowers are fighting to recruit him!”

“But he hasn’t join any!”

“Perhaps he doesn’t want to be drawn into their contentions!”

Su Mo’s arrival immediately attracted everyone’s attention. In the square, many were whispering about him in a low voice.

Su Mo ignored them. He stood on the boundary of the square silently, waiting for the lecturers.

It had been a long time since his last fight. The Academy had not held him responsible for He Chuanyan’s death and that set his heart at ease.

It seemed that the Academy would close one eye to your killings if you were gifted enough.

Time passed. More and more disciples had congregated in the square.

At this moment, a young disciple in blue strolled over to Su Mo and eyed him coldly.

Su Mo was baffled. He sized the person up and discovered that he did not know him.

“Su Mo, Brother Taishi Xuan asks you to go over!” The young man in blue spoke to him rather indifferently.

Su Mo heard him and frowned slightly. He shook his head decisively. “I’m not free!”

He did not have time for Taishi Xuan, nor was he interested.

“If you wouldn’t go, prepare coffins for Nie Qian and Han Ying!” The young man in blue remarked coldly. He said no more, turning away and walking off with broad strides.

Su Mo’s countenance fell. A fierce, icy gleam darted across his eyes. What had Taishi Xuan meant? Was he threatening him with Han Qian and Han Ying’s lives, in order to make him to join their Sect?

Too overbearing, wasn’t he?

With a dark face, Su Mo left the square and followed the young man in blue.

He wanted to see what trick Taishi Xuan was up to. Of course, he did not fear him. Since Taishi Xuan had wanted to recruit him, he would probably not try to kill him.

The Southern Yard was very big, bigger than even a magnificent city. Su Mo followed the young man in blue and the two walked on very quickly.

Soon, they reached the front of a courtyard.

The courtyard was over 100 meters wide and was not very big. Yet its construction was exceptionally exquisite. Its walls, laid with delicate azure tiles, seemed carved out of white jade.

A grand tower and a lofty elegant pavilion were the courtyard.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

The young man in blue knocked gently on its door. Then he pushed it open and entered the courtyard.

Following closely behind, Su Mo too entered the courtyard.
