Warrior's Promise

Xuan Feng yelled coldly at Su Mo.

At that time Su Mo suddenly opened his eyes as he had pretty much figured out the shifting pattern of the strings.

Su Mo ignored Xuan Feng and released his spiritual consciousness into the maze.

The spiritual consciousness looked like a slender snake, traveling in the maze. Before the strings in the maze shifted, Su Mo's Mind and spiritual consciousness changed their direction rapidly to avoid touching the strings of forces.

Su Mo concentrated intently, controlling his spiritual consciousness flitting toward the Divine Map. He dared not relax for even a half-second.

Buzz! Buzz!

The maze, which consisted of strings of forces, changed its shape constantly. The power of the strings was destructive to spiritual consciousness.

Su Mo's spiritual consciousness, which turned into the shape of a snake, moved incredibly fast and had crossed more than half of the distance. Now, there were only six meters left to reach the map.

Poom!

At this moment, the strings' position shifted again before Su Mo's spiritual consciousness could react. The spiritual consciousness touched the strings and vanished, along with his Mind within it.

"Alas! Too impatient I am!" Su Mo sighed inwardly.

Both Xuan Feng and Hong Qingxuan held their breath while watching Su Mo's spiritual consciousness reached six meters away from the Divine Map, and they pitied his failure.

"Brother Su Mo, your command of willpower is strong. Try again and you will make it!" Xuan Feng smiled and urged Su Mo onward.

Su Mo glanced at Xuan Feng and grinned inwardly. He would not let Xuan Feng snatch his Divine Map easily.

Judging from his overbearing behavior outside the immortal's cave, it was likely he would snatch the map.

However, cultivation was suppressed in this place. Even if Xuan Feng was the talent on the List of Top 1,000 Talents, Su Mo was not scared of him.

Su Mo took a deep breath, rested for a while, and released his Mind and spiritual consciousness again.

This time, Su Mo slowed down its movement speed and became more careful than before. He would rather take it slower than fail again!

Unfortunately, he failed again at three meters from the map.

"Brother Su Mo, you can do it!" Hong Qingxuan stopped making her attempts and watched Su Mo.

"Pretty good! There're only three meters left, junior brother. One more try and you'll take the map!" Xuan Feng smiled.

Su Mo took another deep breath. The consecutive, high-intensity operations with his Mind tired him.

Time was running short. Su Mo started to try again with his Mind.

Twelve meters!

Nine meters!

Six meters!

Three meters!

In a dozen seconds, Su Mo's spiritual consciousness reached within three meters of the map, and his forehead sweated.

Su Mo was deep in concentration. Everything disappeared in his eyes except for the maze-like strings that kept shifting positions like dancing micro-swords.

Su Mo felt his command ability reach its limit; his Mind and spiritual consciousness were incredibly nimble and quick as if they had come back to life.

The spiritual consciousness kept flitting among the shifting strings.

Nine feet!

Seven feet!

Five feet!

Three feet!

One foot!

Seconds later, his spiritual consciousness and Mind passed through layers and layers, passing the countless strings of force, and finally reached one foot from the map.

Su Mo's breath became heavy, and the sweat from his forehead kept sliding. He was too overloaded with such a high intensity of brain activity.

Xuan Feng's breath also became heavy, and his eyes were turning sharp.

His time was running out. He desperately hoped Su Mo would succeed this time.

Xuan Feng was amazed by Su Mo's horribly strong willpower. He had tried more than 200 times, and the best result he could achieve was six meters.

However, Su Mo only had tried several times to reach one foot from the map. What a strong command of willpower.

As Xuan Feng had expected, the last foot was passed in a blink of an eye.

Su Mo's strand of spiritual consciousness and Mind hit the Divine Map like a sharp arrow.

Swoosh!

The spiritual consciousness was absorbed by the map instantly when they collided.

Su Mo felt a tremble of his Mind, and then his Mind entered another world and vanished there.

Then, Su Mo felt an indescribable connection was built between him and the Divine Map.

When Su Mo's Mind entered the Divine Map, the map quivered, and then those dense, close strings of forces vanished in a second.

"My Divine Map!" A shriek rose. Xuan Feng moved like a lightning and reached out his hand to grab the map.

"Curse you!"

A ferocious light flashed through Su Mo's eyes. He used his Mind, and then the Divine Map scrolled up and flew towards his hand rapidly.

"It's mine!" Su Mo put it into his storage ring right away.

"Hand over the Divine Map, and I'll let you live!" A murderous intent glittered in Xuan Feng's eyes. He was determined to get the map, even if it meant killing Su Mo and Hong Qingxuan.

"Funny! I obtained the treasure. Why on earth should I give it to you?" Su Mo said mockingly.

"Senior Brother Xuan, the map was taken by Su Mo. Are you going to rob him?" Hong Qingxuan said coldly.

"Humph! An able man gets his treasure. Sister Hong, don't you understand this theory?"

Xuan Feng sneered and looked at Su Mo. "Junior brother Su, I'm telling you one last time. Give me the Divine Map or die!"

However, Su Mo was calm when facing Xuan Feng's threatening.

"I'm also offering you some advice. Those who dare take my Divine Map away will die!" Su Mo said indifferently.

Everyone's cultivation was suppressed in this place, so he was not scared of Xuan Feng.

Of course, Su Mo did not underestimate his opponent. If Xuan Feng had also practiced an extraordinary body-refining skill, this would be complicated.

"What?" Upon hearing Su Mo's words, Xuan Feng stared agape at Su Mo.

Since he earned his name on the List of Top 1,000 Talents in East Continent and made his name, no young martial artist had talked to him like this yet.

However, Su Mo, an insignificant Lv 4 Enlightenment Realm martial artist, threatened him!

"You moron. You think that I can't kill you without cultivation?" Xuan Feng laughed out of rage. He thundered, "Die!"

Xuan Feng moved when his voice fell. He charged at Su Mo like a leopard and launched a punch towards Su Mo's face.

Swoosh!

The wind brought by the charging fist sounded harsh, and the void vibrated. Xuan Feng's punch was incredibly powerful even without cultivation.
