Warrior's Promise

Su Mo was fascinated by the delicate fragrance. He looked back, only to find a pair of pure and bright eyes.

It was the veiled lady in a white robe.

“Lady’s first!” Su Mo chuckled and said.

He would take his time to test his talent anyway.

“Thank you!” A soft voice was heard.

The lady smiled and then stepped forward. She gently pressed her delicate slender white hands upon the testing pillar.

BUZZ! BUZZ!

The testing pillar slightly quivered and immediately shone a purple ray of light. The purple light soared to the tenth level in a moment.

“What?”

“Rank 10 Purple Class talent? How can this be?”

“Who is she? How can her talent be so horrifying?”

The audience in the Archean Fighting Ring burst into an uproar.

At this moment, everyone, be it young talents or senior masters, even the six superpowers elders, excluding the imperial family of the Great Hong Empire, were startled by what they saw and stood up.

But in the next instant, something strange happened again.

The purple light swiftly dropped to the first level, which was exactly the same as what Ao Wushuang had previously experienced.

Instantly, the ray of purple light turned into a dazzling golden one.

The whole Archean Fighting Ring went silent, and the sound of a fallen needle could be heard.

All were stupefied looking at the glittering testing pillar.

“Rank 1 Golden Class talent?”

“She surpassed Ao Wushuang’s talent by one whole entire class!”

Everyone was too shocked to come back to their senses.

Those Top 100 Talents were also dumbfounded.

Su Mo was also shocked by the dazzling golden light.

Ao Wushuang stood still in the spectators stand, with sluggish eyes.

It was only when the veiled lady withdrew her palm and turned to fly back to the spectators stand, that they regained their senses.

Suddenly, the crowd burst into another uproar.

“Gosh! Rank 1 Golden Class talent?”

“Such high talent? Is there something wrong with the testing pillar?”

“Unbelievable! How could her talent be so high?”

“… ”

The deafening uproar mingled with overwhelming air billows. The crowd was getting excited as no one could believe what they just saw.

The middle-aged referee of Sky-sea Pavilion who stood before the testing pillar was also shocked. He went forward to check, then shook his head and said, “There’s nothing wrong with the testing pillar!”

The crowd quieted down as the referee spoke.

“Since the testing pillar is fine, that means that lady’s talent is really of Rank 1 Golden Class?” Everyone was bewildered.

“Prince Rong, the Hongs surely can hide! You’ve gotten God’s favored daughter!”

An elder of Heaven Sect looked toward at another tall middle-aged man in a brocade robe who was from the imperial family of the Great Hong Empire, and asked, “Who’s that lady?”

He was the Third Elder of Heaven Sect, a master of Lv 7 Enlightenment Realm.

That middle-aged man in the brocade robe was the team leader of the imperial family of the Great Hong Empire. He was the Emperor’s younger brother, Prince Rong.

Upon hearing the Third Elder’s query, everyone kept their eyes wide open and waited for Prince Rong’s reply.

The imperial family of the Great Hong Empire were apparently well aware of that white robe lady’s talent, hence they were not as surprised as the rest of the people.

“Haha!” Prince Rong laughed and said without hiding, “Xuan’er is the ninth princess of the Great Hong Empire!”

“The ninth princess?” Everyone was in a daze and felt puzzled.

They had heard of the first princess, the third princess, and the eighth princess, but never the ninth princess.

The six superpowers’ elders eyes lit up.

The reason being was that with having such a talented young lady from the imperial family of the Great Hong Empire, they might counter-balance the seven superpowers in Hong Domain after a few years.

“Haha, alright, let’s continue the test!” Prince Rong laughed as he refused to divulge further.

.

Everyone did not pursue further but began to ponder on the talented lady.

All the participants, including the Top 100 Talents, were all staring at the white robe veiled “ninth princess”.

Many people were green with envy.

Huo Ling, Mo Yue, Ao Wushuang etc. squinted their eyes and carefully looked at the princess.

Such a talented lady must be their greatest opponent for the competition. But after observing for a while, no one could really tell her cultivation.

The ninth princess seemed to be shrouded by a dense mist, whereby no one could figure out her strength.

Su Mo stepped toward the testing pillar after the ninth princess left. He was ready to test his talent.

Despite his formidable combat strength, Su Mo was kind of perturbed, this was because he knew that his talent was considered average. He was, however, confident in his stronger willpower, thanks to his after-life.

He took out his participation token for the Top-100-talent Competition and reached out his palm to slowly press on the testing pillar.

Except for those from Gale Island and some of his acquaintances, few paid any attention to Su Mo’s talent testing.

The moment his palm touched the white testing pillar, Su Mo abruptly felt a bizarre power flowing into his body.

BUZZ!

The testing pillar slightly quivered as that bizarre power swept through Su Mo’s consciousness ocean and instantly, a ray of blue light illuminated four levels on the pillar.

As that bizarre power continued to sweep through Su Mo’s bones and bloodlines, the ray of blue light suddenly turned into a teal light and dropped by one level.

The Second Elder, Elder Wei etc were all delighted to see the bright blue light.

But instantly, they turned paled as the blue light was turned into teal light.

What came next made them thoroughly dumbfounded!

As that power swept through Su Mo’s Martial Soul, the teal light flashed and changed into a yellow light, and dropped all the way to the bottom, level one.

“Rank 1 Yellow Class talent!”

The whole of Archean Fighting Ring fell into a dead silence, as everyone was stunned by the result.

After a while, the audience burst into an uproar again.

“F**k, Rank 1 Yellow Class talent? How can it be?”

“Damn it! This kind of rubbish talent still dare to compete in the Top-100-talent Competition?”

“Are you kidding me? Where does he come from? How did such trash manage to be called a talent and enter the competition?”

Many were cursing and swearing, but more of them were laughing wildly.

Those people who swore were mostly those young martial artists who could not enter the competition. They felt imbalanced at the sight of Su Mo’s Rank 1 Yellow Class talent that could still participate in the competition.

Those who knew Su Mo personally, such as Jia Yuanji and Feng Xiu etc., could not believe what they saw.

“The powerful Su Mo could have such a low talent?”

“This was impossible!”

At the east side of the spectators stand, everyone from Gale Island was dumbfounded.

Not only were the Second Elder, Elder Wei and Wang Hui etc. under the Supreme Elder, but even followers of the island owner, as well as some neutral elders, were all shocked.

“Hahahaha!!!” After a short while, a burst of laughter filled the entire arena.

The waves of laughter came from Duan Jingtian and the Sky Alliance disciples, which caught the attention of the arena.

“Haha! Su Mo, how dare you challenge me with such a low talent?” Duan Jingtian shook his head and laughed, “Rank 1 Yellow Class talent is definitely the bottom among the contestants. What’s there to compete? Don’t humiliate yourself!”

Duan Jingtian was flushing and his stomach was twitching, fearing that Su Mo’s talent might surpass him.

Afterall, Su Mo rose too fast in towering over his competitors.

But the testing result was totally beyond his expectation.

Duan Jingtian might be well-bred and watched his behavior, but even now, he could not help laughing out loud.
