Chapter 176: Sky-sea Pavilion
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Luo Qianfan came down from the spectator stand with a smile on his face.
"Su Mo, you've won 50 rounds consecutively. We shall come back another day for the rest of the combats!"
Luo Qianfan came to the battle ring and called out to Su Mo.
"Oh? Are we not supposed to continue battling?" Su Mo asked.
Having heard this, Luo Qianfan smiled wryly and said, "No one can take this many battles in a row. 50-rounds is a division point. You can rest a while before continuing with the combat!"
Su Mo nodded and walked down from the battle ring.
He went to the administration counter at the fifth zone with Luo Qianfan.
"Kid, this is your reward for winning the 50 rounds!"
The Steward at the counter looked at Su Mo with a perplexed look and gave him a storage bag.
Su Mo opened the storage bag and saw that it was filled with nearly 7,000 pieces of Lower Spiritual Stones.
Hiss!
Although Su Mo had known that the rewards of the Four Seas Arena were fantastic, he could not help but gasp.
Over 6,000 pieces of Lower Spiritual Stones were equivalent to more than 10 million taels of gold!
Moreover, the Spiritual Stones were worth more than gold. Not only could one use the Stones for cultivation, but martial artists at higher levels also used them as currency.
Many have used the Stones for trading.
Su Mo was exhilarated.
This was easy money!
"This is for you!"
The Steward gave Su Mo a silver badge.
It was about the size of a palm and had the number 50 etched on it.
This was proof that Su Mo had won 50 rounds of combat.
"Within three days, you must go to the battle ring at the sixth zone to continue with the combat. If you miss it, the 50 rounds of combat you've won will be nullified, and you have to start all over again!" The Steward warned Su Mo.
"Understood!"
Su Mo nodded.
He had to continue with the combat within three days.
If he did not do it within three days, he would have to start all over again.
However, even if he started over and won another 50 rounds, there would be no more rewards. Rewards were given only once.
After collecting the money that he had won for the bet on Hong Tengyun, he left Four Seas Arena with Luo Qianfan.
Many people looked at Su Mo with sparkling eyes.
Su Mo had won 50 rounds. His rewards were enticing!
However, with Luo Qianfan by his side, they dropped this idea.
Everyone in Imperial City knew the third young master of the Luo family.
In Imperial City, the Luo family was second to the Imperial family.
They held high positions in the Imperial Palace.
After Su Mo had left, news of his record spread to the other zones.
Soon, it spread to the entire Imperial City.
After a year, another expert had won 50 rounds of combat at Four Seas Arena.
Many of them were guessing on the number of rounds that Su Mo could win.
After the 50 rounds, Su Mo would have to fight those who were of a higher level than him. Could he possibly continue winning?
They were looking forward to the next round of combat.
Qing Jue and Hong Tengyun were still in the spectator stand.
They sat there with complex expressions.
"Miss Qing Jue, how many rounds of combat do you think Su Mo can win?" Hong Tengyun asked solemnly.
"No more than 70 rounds!" Qing Jue said flatly.
"You mean he can only win around 10 rounds in the higher level combat? But I think he hasn't displayed his true strength. He's more powerful than we think!" Hong Tengyu said hesitantly.
Qing Jue sneered and said, "Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm is different from Lv 5. The auction at Sky-sea Pavilion will start tomorrow. There are many experts from the four sects in Imperial City. Some of the top 10 Outer Disciples are among them. Do you think Su Mo can defeat them?"
Upon hearing this, Hong Tengyun laughed. He said, "That's right! Our Senior Brother Xiang Bo will be in Imperial City. Then… hohoho!"
…
Su Mo and Luo Qianfan left Four Seas Arena and headed back to the Luo family abode.
"Su Mo, do you want to come along with me to Sky-sea Pavilion tomorrow?" Luo Qianfan asked Su Mo when they were in the courtyard of the guest room.
"What is Sky-sea Pavilion?" Su Mo asked.
"Sky-sea Pavilion is the largest trading firm in Skymoon Country. There will be an auction tomorrow!"
Luo Qianfan explained.
"Auction?"
Su Mo's eyes brightened upon hearing this. He had heard that many treasures could be found at auctions.
With his current wealth, he definitely would not want to miss it.
"We shall go together tomorrow!" Su Mo said.
"Ok!"
After a while, Luo Qianfan left.
Su Mo went back to the room to cultivate his skills.
The following morning, Su Mo, Luo Qianfan, and Luo Huan set forth to Sky-sea Pavilion.
"Brother Su Mo, you're amazing! You've won 50 rounds of combat! It's a pity I couldn't be at Four Seas Arena to watch the combat!" Luo Huan said grudgingly while they were on the way.
"Haha! It's only 50 rounds!"
Su Mo shook his head and said, "The best is yet to come!"
"Oh? What's your target? How many rounds do you intend to win?" Luo Huan asked inquisitively, fanning her lashes seductively.
"Whatever! I shall fight till I am defeated!" Su Mo pondered for a bit and said.
"Hahaha! With your combat strength, it's possible for you to win 100 rounds!" Luo Huan said with a charming smile.
They were soon at Sky-sea Pavilion.
The shop at Sky-sea Pavilion was like a palace. It occupied a radius of two to three miles and looked majestic.
An impressive golden signboard with the inscription "Sky-sea Pavilion" hung at the door.
There were many small stores in Sky-sea Pavilion. The merchandise was displayed according to its category and sold in the respective stores.
Every store was swarming with people.
Sky-sea Pavilion was much bigger than Purple Gold Hall in Gale Island.
"Is Sky-sea Pavilion influential? It's grander than Purple Gold Hall." Su Mo asked Luo Qianfan.
"Sky-sea Pavilion is run by foreigners. I heard that they have shops all over the world!" Luo Qianfan said.
"All over the world?"
Su Mo was surprised.
"That's right. However, they only operate in cities with a population of more than ten million people. In Skymoon Country, you can only find their shop in Imperial City," Luo Qianfan replied.
After walking past the main hall, the three of them came to a small door.
"Each person has to pay 20 pieces of Lower Spiritual Stones to enter the auction hall!"
The two guards standing at the door said as the three people approached.
"20 pieces!"
Su Mo frowned. This auction hall was like a black market! It was more expensive than the entrance fee at Four Seas Arena!
Unwillingly, Su Mo paid and went into the auction hall with Luo Qianfan and his sister.
The auction hall was extremely grand. Even the walls were decorated with crystals. It was magnificent.
It was large enough to accommodate a thousand seats.
There were many private rooms on the second floor.
Luo Qianfan had booked a room opposite the central auction platform.
A maid led them to room 10.
Chapter 177: The Gathering of Heroes
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
The private room in the Auction Room was not spacious and its decorations were simple yet refined.
There were a few rosewood chairs and a table, all wrapped with hide.
Premium tea was served on the table.
The walls were decorated with landscape paintings.
On one wall of the private room was a huge transparent crystal. The occupants of the room could view the entire Auction Room through the crystal.
"Are there any treasures in this auction?" Su Mo asked.
"There'll definitely be treasures in the auction, but there won't be too many. The Sky-sea Pavilion auction at the start of the year is small in scale, targeting only martial artists of the Spiritual Martial Realm."
Luo Qianfan continued, "If it's the mid-year auction, which is the biggest one, many experts of the True Spirit Realm from Skymoon Country will show up."
The auction had yet to begin, Su Mo and company chatted in the private room as they waited.
At another private room a distance away, there were four people.
There were three men and a woman, amongst them were Hong Tengyun and Qing Jue.
Among the other two people, one of them was a skinny young man with elongated eyes.
The other was a young man in a golden robe. The thick-brow man was about 19 years old with an intimidating look. Despite sitting in silence, he gave out an invisibly strong aura field.
"Junior Brother Hong, I didn't expect you to book a private room, this is great!"
The golden-robed young man said monotonously as he gently tapped the table with his fingers.
Hong Tengyun smiled and replied hurriedly, "This private room's specially prepared for Senior Brother Xiang and Senior Bother Tong!"
"Good, you've done well!"
The golden-robed young man said and nodded with a look of compliment.
Shortly, Hong Tengyun said, "By the way, Senior Brother Xiang and Senior Brother Tong, have you heard about a person who won 50 consecutive matches at the Four Seas Fighting Ring yesterday?"
The golden-robed young man and the skinny young man were Xiang Bo and Tong Yu, they were respectively, in the first and fourth position among the Scorching Sun Sect's Top 10 Outer Disciples.
"We've heard about it, apparently it's a young man!" Tong Yu said as they both nodded their heads.
Hong Tengyun's expression suddenly turned harsh, and he said angrily, "This person's too arrogant and cocky!"
Xiang Bo and Tong Yu looked puzzled upon hearing him.
"Why? Has he offended you?" Tong Yu asked.
Hong Tengyun replied angrily, "I lost to him yesterday, but didn't expect him to be so arrogant to say that all our Scorching Sun Sect disciples are trash and not a match for him!"
Hong Tengyun sighed and continued, "Had I been stronger than him, I'd not have let him off!"
"What?"
Both Xiang Bo and Tong Yu's faces turned black, and a chilling glare flashed across their eyes.
"That's interesting, let's wait for him to continue fighting, I'll go and ruin his cultivation!" Xiang Bo sneered and said.
"Senior Brother Xiang, you don't have to do it. He's merely a trash of Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm, I'd be enough to deal with him!" Tong Yu smiled and said.
Hong Tengyun was joyous, seeing that the two of them were enraged and willing to step in. He then said, "Since both Senior Brothers are willing to help, it'll definitely succeed. That cocky young man will regret his actions for the rest of his life!"
"Hahaha!"
They all laughed simultaneously.
Qing Jue sitting at the side, smiled as well.
At this moment, three young men entered the Auction Room. When Xiang Bo looked through the crystal and saw the leading young man, who was tall and stern, he squinted his eyes.
"Yan Ba!"
Xiang Bo mumbled to himself with a serious expression.
They were three disciples of Gale Island, and that tall young man was Yan Ba, an Inner Disciple of Gale Island.
A year ago, Xiang Bo lost to him in a fight and was severely injured, it took Xiang Bo more than a month to recover.
Xiang Bo had not forgotten about the grudge against him.
"Humf!"
Shortly, Xiang Bo sneered and looked away.
Yan Ba was an Inner Disciple of Gale Island, in addition to his powerful combat strength, his cultivation had reached the Peak Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm. Despite that a year had passed, Xiang Bo was not fully confident in defeating him.
In the private room where Su Mo was, Su Mo's face turned cold upon seeing the three people entering the Auction Room.
He did not recognize Yan Ba, but he knew the person beside him—Yan Qi.
Back then, had it not been for Yan Qi, Su Mo would not have engaged in a life and death duel with Shen Qingsheng.
If it were not for the duel with Shen Qingsheng, he would not have become an enemy of the Sky Alliance.
Yan Qi had been on Su Mo's kill list from long ago.
After entering the Auction Room, Yan Qi and company quickly entered a private room as well.
"Senior Brother Yan Ba, I've heard that there'll be an incomplete copy of a post-archean Upper Lv 2 Saber Martial Arts Technique, I wonder if it's true?" the other young man in grey asked.
The young man in grey was at Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm as well, and he was obviously an Inner Disciple of Gale Island.
"I'm precisely here for it. I'm determined to obtain this martial arts technique!" Yan Ba said firmly in a powerful and dynamic tone.
Then, Yan Ba looked at Yan Qi who was beside him, and said, "Younger brother, what's going on with you? Why are you so moody?"
Yan Qi lost weight recently and was constantly in low spirits.
During this period of time, he was perturbed because of Su Mo!
He had always wanted to kill Su Mo. However, Su Mo had not only survived, but also improved tremendously in strength.
In the Outer Disciple Competition, Su Mo even wiped out the Sky Alliance, and killed Nangong Linjue, who was best in the outer gate!
All of this had terrified Yan Qi.
If it were not for his elder brother, who was an Inner Disciple, he would consider leaving Gale Island.
Su Mo was a devil who killed without mercy, Yan Qi was actually afraid that he would run into Su Mo and get killed.
In conclusion, only Su Mo's death could relieve him.
"Elder brother, if there's a chance, you have to kill Su Mo!" Yan Qi replied to Yan Ba.
A chilling light flashed in Yan Ba's eyes upon hearing this, and he said, "Su Mo has killed so many members of the Sky Alliance, he doesn't deserve to live. If there's an opportunity I'd be the first to kill him!"
Yan Ba was in a state of unrest as well.
When Su Mo had just entered Gale Island, Yan Qi had already asked him to kill Su Mo.
However, Su Mo was too weak back then for Yan Ba to bother killing, and he told Yan Qi to deal with Su Mo by himself.
He had never expected Su Mo to have grown to become the best in the outer gate in less than a year's time.
"Elder brother, if there's chance, you can ruin his cultivation before letting me deal with him!"
Yan Qi smirked and said, "I'd let him enjoy the pain of torture!"
"Good!"
Yan Ba nodded his head.
In the private room where Su Mo was, he had no idea about the conversation between Yan Qi and companies.
There was still a while before the auction started, he could only wait peacefully with Luo Qianfan and Luo Huan.
While they were waiting, huge numbers of martial artists came to the Auction Room one after another.
Amongst them were experts of Lv 7, some even of Lv 8 Spiritual Martial Realm. Many of them were disciples from the four sects as well.
Su Mo even saw two familiar faces among them, including Fei Kuang and Ling Muchen, who came to the Auction Room as well.
An hour later, the auction finally began!
Chapter 178: Obstructing Su Mo
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
At this moment, an elderly man in grey came from the rear of the Central Auction Room.
He looked around, clapped his hands, and everyone instantly quieted down.
"Everybody, first, welcome to Sky-sea Pavilion Auction Room. I'm Wen Shan, the auctioneer of this auction. Now, let's start the auction," the old man said with a smile.
"You will see quite a lot of treasures in this auction. Don't lose this golden chance!
"So, let's not waste any time and bring up the first item."
Then, a beautiful lady walked on to the stage with a one-meter-long gold-rimmed wooden plate which displayed a gleaming long saber.
"The first thing is a saber of Medium Lv 2, which is called Snowcloud Saber. However, its sharpness is close to Upper Lv 2. What's more, if the user has enough strength, it could even shatter a weapon of the same level.
"The initial bidding price is 20 Lower Spiritual Stones. Every new bid must be increased by no less than 5 Spiritual Stones."
After hearing this, many martial artists showed a strong interest in the saber.
This saber could actually reach the sharpness of Upper Lv 2, making it very rare.
People started to bid for the saber enthusiastically.
"25 Lower Spiritual Stones!"
"30!"
"40! I must get it!"
Sitting in a private room, Su Mo watched the saber with disinterest.
Since he was a swordsman, a saber at this level was too low for him.
"90 Lower Spiritual Stones."
"Damn it, 150! Who dares to go higher?"
Finally, that harsh-featured man bid 150 Lower Spiritual Stones and got the saber.
"Auctioning is so lucrative!" Su Mo thought disapprovingly.
"Even 100 Lower Spiritual Stones could buy the best weapon at Medium Lv 2. It's stupid to spend 150 for a normal one."
Then the auction continued.
The second item was a palm-sized piece of parchment.
The auctioneer took it and said, "The second item is a map, which may lead to a treasure. However, obviously, it's only a part of the map.
"Therefore, the initial bidding price is not high and just 30 Lower Spiritual Stones. Each new bid much be at least 10 Spiritual Stones higher."
As his voice faded, voices flooded the auction immediately.
"Damn it, who would want an incomplete map?"
"Exactly, how useless!"
"Even if it's complete, who knows if there is a treasure or not, let alone an incomplete one!"
The whole auction was full with grumbling, and no one bid for it.
In the private room, when Su Mo saw that incomplete map, he was very excited, because he had a similar one in the storage ring.
It was one of the trophies he got in the Qingyuan Trial Test.
However, at that time, he did not care about it at all and just threw it into his storage ring casually.
Unexpectedly, the other half of the map just showed up in this Auction Room.
"40 Lower Spiritual Stones."
Su Mo bid for it decisively.
Upon hearing the bidding, everyone looked towards the sound.
However, the glass of the private room allowed the inside to look outside, but did not allow the outside to look inside.
However, anyone who knew Su Mo could recognize his voice.
"Su Mo?"
Ling Muchen and Fei Kuang, who sat in the back of the room, recognized Su Mo's voice immediately.
Meanwhile, in a private room, Yan Qi got up suddenly when he heard the voice.
"What happened? Why are you so startled?"
Yan Ba reprimanded Yan Qi, surprised by his behavior.
"That's Su Mo!" Yan Qi said excitedly.
"Su Mo? Where is he?"
Yan Ba was confused.
Yan Qi said anxiously, "The one who just bid is Su Mo."
"What?"
On hearing this, Yan Ba was shocked and stood up quickly. A cold light flashed through his eyes. "What a coincidence!"
After some thought, Yan Ba sat back and said. "Now's not the time to attack. Let's wait until the end of the auction!"
"Hmm!"
Yan Qi nodded his head and sneered. "Though Su Mo is going to die, he should first pay some costs!"
What's more, Hong Tengyun and Qing Jue, who were in the other private room, also recognized Su Mo's voice.
Hong Tengyun sneered and said, "Senior Brother Xiang, Senior Brother Tong, that one who bid just now is Su Mo. He had a 50-match winning streak in the Four Seas Fighting Ring!"
"Oh, really?"
Tong Yu nodded and said seriously, "Don't worry! In the Four Seas Arena, he will pay for what he did to our Scorching Sun Sect's disciples."
"Junior Brother Tong, he's just a small fry. You get him," Xiang Bo said arrogantly.
"Hmm!"
Tong Yu nodded his head.
As the top expertr in the Scorching Sun Sect's outer gate, Xiang Bo did not think much of Su Mo.
If Su Mo was the same level as him, maybe he would pay him a little attention. However, Su Mo only had the cultivation of Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm, which was too weak for him.
Tong Yu was enough to handle him.
After Su Mo's bidding, the whole auction was temporarily quiet.
Nobody went higher.
Su Mo was happy, because it implied that he could get this map at the lowest price.
Just then, an enigmatic voice suddenly said, "50 Lower Spiritual Stones!"
Upon hearing the voice, Su Mo suddenly frowned and thought, "Yan Qi!"
"Shoot…"
Su Mo cursed secretly, with a killing desire flashing in his eyes. It was obvious that Yan Qi was trying to obstruct him.
"60!"
Su Mo had no choice but to increase his bidding.
"70!"
"80!"
"…"
"120!"
"140!"
Soon, the price soared to 140 Lower Spiritual Stones.
Everyone was shocked because they could not understand why this incompetent map deserved that price.
"Maybe it is actually linked to a huge treasure!"
Then, a few more people joined the bidding.
"150!"
"180!"
"…"
In an instant, the price was over 200 Lower Spiritual Stones.
"What a surprise!"
The auctioneer was happy because he thought the price of 100 Lower Spiritual Stones was pretty good. Now, it had already increased past 200!
Chapter 179: Rank 2 Earth Class Martial Soul
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
In the room, Su Mo was in a bad mood.
He could've gotten the map with 40 Lower Spiritual Stones at first, but now it needed more than 200.
Although Su Mo was rich now and had a lot of Spiritual Stones, Spiritual Stones were not easy to acquire.
"F**k!"
Su Mo could not help but for using rough words, and could not wait to kill Yan Qi.
"Little brother Su Mo, why are you so attached to that piece of the map?" Luo Huan asked with a charming smile.
Luo Qianfan looked at Su Mo doubtfully and thought, "Does the map really point to treasure somewhere?"
"I'm determined to obtain the incomplete map!"
Su Mo said, without actually answering Luo Qianfan, then he shouted, "400 Lower Spiritual Stones!"
After that, Su Mo shouted again, "Yan Qi, you can get that piece of the map with a higher price if you like."
Sure enough, Yan Qi didn't say a word.
Yan Qi just wanted Su Mo to lose money. Now, he had achieved his goal and stopped bidding.
If he continued bidding up and Su Mo stopped, he would waste 400 Spiritual Stones to buy the useless and incomplete map, which was not what he wanted.
The men who were bidding up before also did not follow to offer prices after Su Mo bid 400 Lower Spiritual Stones for the incomplete map.
The price of 400 Lower Spiritual Stones was too high!
Maybe the incomplete map pointed to treasures somewhere, but that piece of the map was obviously useless. Otherwise, Sky-sea Pavilion would be hunting for the treasures instead of auctioning the map.
Everyone was obviously clear about this.
"400 Lower Spiritual Stones once!"
"400 Lower Spiritual Stones twice!"
"400 Lower Spiritual Stones last calling! Deal. Congratulations to the distinguished guest in Room 10, you win the item!"
The elder shouted gleefully.
After a short time, a maid delivered the incomplete map to the room.
Su Mo got the map with 400 Spiritual Stones.
Luo Qianfan and Luo Huan went for a look and lost interest in it soon.
It really was an incomplete map, and it was impossible to find the treasure using the map.
Su Mo took a casual look and confirmed that the map and the one in his hand were one.
However, he did not have enough time to study carefully now.
Then the auction continued.
"The third auction item is a Realm-breaking Pill. Everyone knows its efficacy. It can increase the probability of breaking through the bottleneck of the realm to a martial artist of the Spiritual Martial Realm by 30%.
"The initial bidding price of Realm-breaking Pill is 200 Lower Spiritual Stones. Every new bid must be increased by no less than 50 Lower Spiritual Stones."
All people in the Auction Room were excited after the elder finished his words. It was unusual that there was an elixir which could improve the probability of success.
Many martial artists stopped at their realms for several years. Given a Realm-breaking Pill, the probability of improving one's cultivation by one level would be increased greatly.
Luo Qianfan was greatly interested in the elixir as well.
"500 Lower Spiritual Stones!" Luo Qianfan bid first.
CLANG!
Everyone was stunned. The price was like a pot of cold water, and the light their minds went out.
"Who's that? It's foolhardy to bid such a high price."
"600 Lower Spiritual Stones!" After a short while, someone bid.
"650 Lower Spiritual Stones!"
"1,000 Lower Spiritual Stones!" Luo Qianfan shouted. He had added 350 Spiritual Stones at one go.
"1,100 Lower Spiritual Stones!" someone continued bidding.
Finally, Luo Qianfan obtained the Realm-breaking Pill.
Many people were not reconciled at all, but they did not have enough wealth to compare with Luo Qianfan.
Su Mo did not bid, because he had a Devouring Martial Spirit, which could cultivate rapidly. He could break through the realm easily with enough blood essence.
Su Mo looked at Luo Qianfan and thought, "His speed of cultivation isn't slower than mine."
Luo Qianfan's culticultivation had reached the Peak Lv 4 Spiritual Martial Realm, not far from Lv 5.
Su Mo remembered that Luo Qianfan's Martial Soul was just Rank 8 Human Class, however, his speed of cultivation was absolutely faster than any other martial artists who also had Martial Soul of Rank 8 Human Class.
As the auction continued, many kinds of treasures bewildered their eyes.
However, Su Mo did not bid anymore.
He did not lack anything except Beast Souls.
He prepared to buy a batch of Beast Souls from Sky-sea Pavilion after the end of auction.
However, Luo Huan and Luo Qianfan bought something good. Especially Luo Huan, who bought an elegant jade bracelet with more than 1,000 Spiritual Stones.
This jade bracelet could store a certain amount of Genuine Qi to supplement the lack of, during a fighting. It was really a wonderful thing.
Luo Huan's real cultivation was too high to be known by Su Mo.
But Su Mo confirmed that Luo Huan was a martial artist who was not at the True Spirit Realm, but at Lv 8 or Lv 9 Spiritual Martial Realm.
The auction would be end soon.
Su Mo had not seen the things that he needed.
"No. 79 auction item is coming!"
After the elder spoke, a maid brought another auction item out and placed it on the center auction block.
This auction item was a scroll.
"This is a post-archean martial skill named Mountain-cutting Sabermanship which is of Upper Lv 2. However, this technique is incomplete, there should have been five movements, but now there are only two movements left over."
The elder introduced it in detail, "Still, even with only two movements left, the technique is more powerful than other common Upper Lv 2 Martial Skill.
"The initial bidding price of this technique is 500 Spiritual Stones. Every new bid must be increased by no less than 100 Spiritual Stones."
All the people in the Auction Room were excited again after the elder finished his words.
"Gosh! It's the post-archean martial skill of Upper Lv 2!"
"I'm sure to get it!"
"I'm willing to get the technique with all my wealth. Once I get it, my strength must be increased sharply by exercising the technique. Then there's no need to worry about Spiritual Stones."
The post-archean martial skill excited everyone.
In the private room where Yan Qi stayed, a sharp light in Yan Ba's eyes flashed by. As a swordsman, he was determined to get the technique!
"600 Spiritual Stones!" Yan Ba shouted.
"700 Spiritual Stones!"
"…"
"1,500 Spiritual Stones!"
"1,800 Spiritual Stones!"
The whole Auction Room was extremely noisy, lots of people wanted to get the martial arts technique.
Many people gave up bidding helplessly when the price reached 2,000. They could not afford it.
Finally, there was only Yan Ba and Xiang Bo that continued to bid.
"2,200 Lower Spiritual Stones!"
Yan Ba shouted with an unreadable face.
"2,300 Lower Spiritual Stones!"
Xiang Bo looked at Yan Ba's room and shouted coldly, "Yan Ba, the technique will be mine, you can forget it."
Yan Ba frowned, thought for a while and chuckled, "It's you! My defeated opponent from the Scorching Sun Sect!"
"You…!"
Xiang Bo raged, however, he could not refute the truth.
"2,400 Lower Spiritual Stones!" Yan Ba bid continually.
"2,500 Spiritual Stones!" Xiang Bo got exasperated but continued to bid reluctantly.
"3,500 Lower Spiritual Stones!"
Yan Ba suddenly increased his bid by 1,000 Lower Spiritual Stones at one go.
"Damn it!"
In the room, Xiang Bo raged and shattered the sandalwood table with one palm.
He was not well-off recently. 3,500 Lower Spiritual Stones had exceeded his bottom line.
In the end, Yan Ba bought Mountain-cutting Sabermanship.
"Here comes the final treasure of this auction!"
The elder raised his voice suddenly.
A maid stepped on the auction block again, this time with a light-blue crystal in her tray.
The elder took up the crystal in his hand and shouted, "The crystal in my hand is a High-class Soul-sealing Crystal, and within it is sealed a martial artist' Martial Soul of Rank 2 Earth Class!
"The master of the Martial Soul of the Rank 2 Earth Class was a genius of the True Spirit Realm who had comprehended the saber will during his lifetime. If someone obtains this Soul-sealing Crystal and feels the saber will in it, he may have a chance to comprehend the saber will in the future."
The elder's words just as a bomb thrown into the peaceful water.
People of the whole Auction Room were more excited than ever before.
"What? Martial Soul of the Rank 2 Earth Class?"
"Gosh! We have the chance to comprehend the saber will!"
"How is it possible? There's such a thing!"
"…"
Everyone in the Auction Room stood up excitedly with greed in their eyes.
Su Mo also stood up, he stared at the Soul-sealing Crystal in the elder's hand with rapid breath.
Su Mo's attention was not on the saber will, but on the Martial Soul.
Rank 2 Earth Class Martial Soul?
If he devoured the Martial Soul, could his Devouring Martial Spirit advance to the Earth Class?
Chapter 180: Crazy Bidding
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Su Mo fixed his gaze on the crystal that the elder was holding, refusing to budge.
He had never expected an Earth Class Martial Soul to be auctioned!
He could feel his heart racing twice as fast.
Su Mo was 100 times more excited than the day before when he had won over 6,000 Spiritual Stones.
The Earth Class Martial Soul that was trapped in the Soul-sealing Crystal would be the hope for his Devouring Martial Spirit to advance to Earth Class.
As long as his Martial Spirit could advance to Earth Class, his talent would be enhanced as well. He would soon be able to defeat Duan Jingtian!
His strength would also improve rapidly and within four years, he would be able to go to Central Continent and look for Xi'er!
"Everything is possible once his Martial Spirit advances to Earth Class!"
Shortly, Su Mo calmed himself down.
He was waiting for the elder to announce the minimum bid.
The auction hall had turned silent abruptly once the excitement was over.
It was unexpectedly quiet.
Everyone was eyeing anxiously at the Soul-sealing Crystal that the elder was holding.
Su Mo, Yan Ba, and Xiang Bo were all determined to have it.
The elder looked around and saw the expressions of the people. He smiled and said, "The minimum bid for this treasure is 1,000 Lower Spiritual Stones. Every increment mustn't be less than 500!"
There was still silence after the elder had announced the minimum bid.
Su Mo waited for the others to bid.
He had to control himself. If not, the price would be jacked up to a humongous amount.
After a short while, someone finally shouted out a price.
"I'll pay 1,500 Spiritual Stones!"
After the first bid, the people were crazily bidding for it.
"2,000 Spiritual Stones!"
"2,500!"
"3,500!"
The price shot up crazily.
Many of them bid for the treasure with their entire wealth.
Su Mo did not bid, and yet he frowned. He had only 6,000 over Lower Spiritual Stones in total.
It would not be enough for this treasure.
He turned to Luo Qianfan and Luo Huan and asked, "Will you be bidding for this treasure?"
Both of them did not bid so Su Mo was not sure if they would be vying for the treasure.
Luo Qianfan sized Su Mo up and smiled, "Su Mo, are you interested in this treasure? If I remember correctly, you've comprehended sword will."
At the Outer Disciple Competition, Su Mo had revealed his sword will. Although many disciples did not know that was the sword will, Luo Qianfan was well aware of it.
"This treasure's extremely important to me! If you can, I hope you'll help me!" Su Mo nodded and said.
Luo Qianfan's eyes brightened and said, "Of course, I'll help you!"
Having said that, Luo Qianfan half-jokingly said, "However, you would owe me a favor! Should I need your help in future, you must help me!"
Su Mo immediately nodded his head and said, "As long as it doesn't go against my principle and it's something within my ability, I'll definitely help you!"
"Great!"
Luo Qianfan smiled more radiantly and said, "Su Mo, I trust you!"
Su Mo's promise was more valuable to Luo Qianfan as compared to the Earth Class Martial Soul.
Although the Martial Soul was precious and could help him comprehend the saber will in future, that was just a hope and it might not happen!
Luo Qianfan took out a storage bag and passed to Su Mo. He said, "There are 15,000 Lower Spiritual Stones in it. It should be enough for the bid!"
Su Mo raised his eyebrows. Luo Qianfan was filthy rich!
With his family background, Su Mo would have guessed it.
With the 15,000 Spiritual Stones from Luo Qianfan, Su Mo had a total of over 20,000 Spiritual Stones. He felt more at ease now.
There were not many people left for the bid.
The bid had sky-rocketed to 6,000 Lower Spiritual Stones.
"8,000 Spiritual Stones!" Su Mo shouted. He had added 2,000 Spiritual Stones at one go.
There was silence after his bid.
After a while, there was an uproar.
"Who is this person?"
"This is crazy!"
"Rich people call the shot!"
Su Mo raised the bid to eliminate a lot of competition.
Although there were many people at the auction, not many were wealthy.
Xiang Bo looked ferocious in the private room. He did not have many Spiritual Stones. After borrowing from Hong Tengyun and Tong Yu, he had just a total of 8,000 Spiritual Stones.
One bid from Su Mo and he was immediately kicked out.
"Su Mo! You'd better watch out!"
Xiang Bo gritted his teeth and was seething with anger.
He had not been able to get his hands on "Mountain-cutting Sabermanship" and now, likewise for the Earth Class Martial Soul. He was enraged.
He was no match for Yan Ba so he dared not pick on him, hence he took it all out on Su Mo.
Yan Ba was gloomy as well. He had used up most of his Spiritual Stones bidding for the "Mountain-cutting Bladesmanship". He had not much left now!
"Junior Brother Wei, how many Spiritual Stones do you have? Please lend me all of them!" Yan Ba looked at the youth in grey and said.
"Senior Brother Yan, we should help each other since we're both Disciples of the Sky Alliance!"
The youth smiled and threw out a pile of Spiritual Stones.
"Senior Brother Yan, this is all I have, about 3,000 Lower Spiritual Stones!" he said.
"Ok!"
Yan Ba nodded and quickly kept the Spritual Stones. He started to bid again, "9,000 Spiritual Stones!"
"12,000!"
The moment Yan Ba finished bidding, Su Mo jacked up the price again. He had the money now and did not want to waste time. He left no room for other bidders to compete with him.
OOSH!
The crowd that was outside gasped. A sharp increase of 3,000 Spiritual Stones. This must be a parvenu!
Ling Muchen and Fei Kuang were stunned.
They did not have many Spiritual Stones and have used up some for two items at the earlier auctions. They did not qualify to participate in this bid.
POOH!
Yan Ba spurted out the tea tha that he was about to drink when Su Mo called out his bid.
"Su Mo is asking for trouble!"
Yan Ba's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He had just borrowed 3,000 over Spiritual Stones but that only allowed him to bid once.
"Brother, do you have any Spiritual Stones?"
Yan Ba looked at his younger brother, Yan Qi, and asked.
Yan Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, I have only 50 pieces of Spiritual Stones!"
Yan Ba sighed. He had not expected Yan Qi to have many Spiritual Stones as his cultivation was very low.
Yan Ba looked gloomy and depressed.
No matter how unwilling he was, without Spiritual Stones, he could only give up on the bid!
"Brother, we need not compete with Su Mo!" Yan Qi suddenly said with a cunning smile.
"Eh? What do you mean?"
Yan Ba was baffled and did not understand what he meant.
"Let Su Mo have the Earth Class Martial Soul!"
Yan Qi said with an evil smile, "Let's kill him later. Whatever he has will belong to us!"
"Hahaha!"
Yan Ba looked startled and then laughed out loud. He said, "Brother, thanks for your reminder. How can I forget such a simple method!"
Yan Ba was elated and said, "Let Su Mo have it! Anyway, it will be mine!"
Yan Ba looked relaxed as though he would definitely get it from Su Mo.
Chapter 181: Fighting with Su Mo?
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
In the auction room, after Su Mo bid 12,000 Lower Spiritual Stones, Yan Ba gave up, and no one else challenged him.
Su Mo was overjoyed to finally have a Rank 2 Earth Class Martial Soul!
"The guest in room 10 bid 12,000 Lower Spiritual Stones. Does anyone want to make a higher offer?"
The old man hoped that people would keep bidding, so he scanned his surroundings and said loudly, "If no one makes a bid, this Martial Soul of the Rank 2 Earth Class with saber will will belong to the guest in room 10!"
"I bid 15,000 Spiritual Stones!"
A calm voice came out of a room, just when the old man finished speaking.
Someone else had actually bid again!
Su Mo was frustrated and stared at the room near him.
The person in that room said coldly, "My friend, I'm Liu Canyang of the Sky Rapier Sect. How about you do me a favor and let me have the item?"
His words instantly astonished the crowd.
"I can't believe Liu Canyang is really here!"
"He's an Inner Disciple of the Sky Rapier Sect and is known as Devil Swordsman because of his mysterious Devil Sword!"
"Yes! I heard that his cultivation is Lv 8 Spiritual Martial Realm!"
Everyone's excitement revealed that Liu Canyang was a well-known figure.
"Let you?"
Su Mo scoffed. Auctions rewarded the rich, so there was no such thing as letting someone win.
"18,000 Lower Spiritual Stones!"
Su Mo disregarded his opponent and increased his bid by 3,000 Lower Spiritual Stones.
The other room was silent. The person inside did not seem to tolerate this price.
After a while, a cold voice came out of the room. "Good for you!"
A young man in black sat in that room.
He was very skinny and had cold eyes, and his thin lips made him look cruel.
He glared at Su Mo's room through the glass walls with killing desire in his eyes.
Su Mo had completely disregarded him!
"The guest in room 10 bid 18,000 Lower Spiritual Stones. Does anyone want to make a higher offer?" the old man asked again.
After asking three times without a response, the old man announced loudly, "Congratulations to the guest in room 10 for winning this auction. The item will be delivered to you shortly!"
"Huff!"
Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
He finally got it!
Soon, a maid brought the pale blue Soul-sealing Crystal to Su Mo.
Su Mo took the expensive crystal and examined it carefully.
He could see clearly through the transparent surface that there was a glowing golden war saber inside.
This extremely realistic War Saber Martial Soul looked like an actual sword, unlike the Human Class Martial Souls that looked fake.
After a while, Su Mo breathed deeply and solemnly packed away the Soul-Sealing Crystal.
"Let's go!"
Su Mo said to Luo Qianfan and Luo Huan. Now that the auction was over, there was no point in staying any longer.
He was already dying to go back and devour this Earth Class Martial Soul.
"Yes, let's go back!"
Luo Qianfan and Luo Huan nodded.
The three walked out of the room.
"Su Mo!"
"Stop right there, Su Mo!"
Two voices roared as soon as the three left the room. Then, two groups of men rushed in front of Su Mo, blocking him at the entrance of his room.
These two groups belonged to Yan Ba and Xiang Bo.
The two groups looked at each other in shock because neither had expected the other to also have issues with Su Mo.
Then, a thin figure flashed over as well. It was Liu Canyang!
Su Mo was speechless. Had he offended everyone at this auction?
"Gentlemen, Su Mo is mine!" Yan Ba said coldly, while still staring intently at Liu Canyang.
Yan Ba was not threatened by Xiang Bo's group, but Liu Canyang worried him greatly.
"Is he really?"
Xiang Bo scoffed and said, "Yan Ba, you're really funny!"
Liu Canyang glanced at Yan Ba and Xiang Bo coldly, pointed at Su Mo, and said, "I'm taking this man with me!"
Liu Canyang's tone was calm but commanding.
"That's impossible!"
Yan Ba and Xiang Bo shouted at the same time.
The two men already wanted to fight with Su Mo, and now that Su Mo had a precious treasure, they definitely did not want Liu Canyang to take Su Mo away.
Su Mo smiled bitterly.
"What do these three men view me as?
"Some kind of object they can just take?
"That's hilarious!"
"Are you three idiots done fighting?" Su Mo asked flatly.
"What did you say?"
The three men's expressions changed, and they all turned to glare at Su Mo.
Their eyes pierced him with sharp killing desire, and their bodies gave off strong genuine Qi.
Su Mo narrowed his eyes, and all seven of his Spiritual Spirals began moving. He concentrated his essence, Qi, and spirit and prepared to attack.
He was not scared of any of these men, but Su Mo would need every last bit of his strength to face them together.
The battle was close to beginning!
"They're about to fight!"
"It looks exciting!"
"Isn't he the person who won 50 battles in a row yesterday at Four Seas Fighting Ring?"
A couple martial artists who were leaving noticed the commotion and stopped to watch.
Suddenly, an old voice said, "Anyone who dares to stir up trouble in Sky-sea Pavilion must die!"
This voice sounded old and incredibly powerful, exploding like a bomb in everyone's ears, and causing their head to spin and blood to boil.
"Oof!"
Su Mo grunted as his blood curdled and held back a mouthful of blood.
Yan Qi, Hong Tengyun, and some other weaker people vomited blood uncontrollably and losing their minds.
Everyone was shocked. The speaker was definitely an expert at the peak of the True Spirit Realm!
"Let's go!"
Yan Ba said to Yan Qi and the other one, his expression suddenly changing.
The three men left the auction room.
Xiang Bo and his group also left quickly in fear.
Liu Canyang glared at Su Mo coldly and left as well.
Su Mo chuckled. He knew that they would still try to confront him, but he was not afraid.
"Let's go too!" Su Mo said and walked out.
"Brother Su Mo, don't worry! With me here, they can't hurt you!" Luo Huan said softly.
Although Luo Huan knew that Su Mo was powerful, she did not believe that Su Mo could take all three men at once.
Also, Liu Canyang was an expert of Lv 8 Spiritual Martial Realm.
Chapter 182: I'll be Waiting at the Four Seas Arena!
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Soon, Su Mo and the other two left the auction room.
They passed through the hall of Sky-sea Pavilion and arrived at the gate.
Just as Su Mo had expected, Yan Ba, Xiang Bo, Liu Canyang, and their men were waiting outside.
They rushed over to block his path.
Some martial artists who were leaving the auction room saw the scene and stopped to watch.
"This boy is in trouble now!"
"Yes! He has insulted Yan Ba and Liu Canyang, so he's about to meet his death!"
"That's not certain. Do you not see him with the first daughter and third son of the Luos?"
Everyone debated furiously. Ling Muchen and Fei Kuang also stood in the crowd, full of concern for Su Mo.
"Su Mo, you're going to die today!"
Yan Ba barked with killing desire in his eyes.
"Ha ha! Su Mo, now you know the consequences of insulting me! I won't show any mercy!" Yan Qi also said with an evil smile.
Su Mo looked at Yan Qi and scoffed, "Yan Qi, let me tell you something!"
"What?" Yan Qi asked, looking confused.
"I'm not sure if I'm going to die today, but you definitely will!"
Su Mo appeared in front of Yan Qi in a flash and punched his chest.
Boom!
With an explosive sound, Su Mo's fist broke entirely through Yan Qi's chest.
Blood and gore flew everywhere!
After his punch, Su Mo retreated instantly, back to where he was standing.
He had always wanted to kill Yan Qi as Yan Qi had been constantly provoking him like an annoying pest.
Su Mo had no reason not to kill him.
"What?"
The crowd was stunned. No one had expected Su Mo to attack first in such a volatile situation, nor did they expect him to kill a person with one strike.
Even Luo Qianfan and Luo Huan were too shocked to react.
Thud!
Yan Qi's body slumped onto the ground, with the evil smile still on his face.
Yan Qi did not even know what was happening when he died!
"Brother!"
Yan Ba roared in distress, his eyes bloodshot.
Su Mo's attack was unbelieveably fast, so even Yan Ba, who was standing right next to Yan Qi, could not react.
"Su Mo! I'm going to tear you into pieces!"
Yan Ba screamed and swung his palm toward Su Mo.
The powerful palm print rumbled through the air toward Su Mo like a mountain.
Su Mo erupted with genuine Qi and just as he was about to strike back, Luo Huan stepped in front of him.
She pushed her delicate hands forward gently.
Boom!
The palm print was shattered, releasing strong currents that pushed the crowd back.
Swoosh!
A giant figure flew over a hundred meters backward, crashed into a wall, and shattered it.
It was Yan Ba!
Luo Huan's move had sent him flying hundreds of meters.
Everyone stared at her in shock.
Liu Canyang sized Luo Huan up and frowned as soon as he sensed her Qi.
He was focusing only on Su Mo and did not expect the beautiful woman standing behind him to be a martial artist at Lv 9 Spiritual Martial Realm!
"Deacon Luo, do you want to be an enemy of the Sky Alliance?"
Yan Ba wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and glared furiously at Luo Huan.
He had not expected Luo Huan to stand up for Su Mo.
Yan Ba knew that Luo Huan was the deacon of Purple Gold Hall.
Therefore, like other disciples of the Sky Alliance, he leveraged Sky Alliance's fame.
"I don't want to be an enemy of the Sky Alliance!"
Luo Huan chuckled and said, "However, Su Mo is my little brother, so I can't let you bully him!"
"Brother?"
Everyone frowned and stared at Luo Huan and Su Mo, and some people came to a realization.
Luo Huan was gorgeous and seductive, while Su Mo was handsome and youthful.
Were they in a relationship?
Many people started to have impure thoughts.
"Brother?"
Yan Ba's face turned pale, and he roared, "Luo Huan, if you offend the Sky Alliance, you will not be welcomed in Gale Island! Think it through!"
"I don't have to think it through. With me here, no one can hurt my brother!" Luo Huan said firmly.
"You…" Yan Ba said furiously.
He glanced at Su Mo, who was standing next to Luo Huan casually, with flaming eyes.
"Luo Huan, you will pay for this, and Su Mo will definitely die!"
Yan Ba shouted.
He knew that he could not kill Su Mo with Luo Huan there, so he could only pick up Yan Qi's body,
He stared at Su Mo furiously and left.
He could not kill Su Mo today, but he would find another chance! His brother could not have died for nothing!
Xiang Bo's and Liu Canyang's expressions changed. They sighed and left to make further plans.
Faced with Luo Huan, who had a cultivation of Lv 9 Spiritual Martial Realm, even if the three of them join forces, they might not beat her!
"Yan Ba!"
Su Mo shouted at the departing Yan Ba.
Yan Ba turned around and glared at Su Mo silently.
"I'll be waiting for you at the Four Seas Arena tomorrow!" Su Mo said flatly.
Since Yan Ba wanted to kill Su Mo, and Su Mo also wanted to kill him.
So what if they were Inner Disciples or members of the Sky Alliance? Su Mo wanted to defeat them fairly in Four Seas Arena!
Yan Ba heard this, glared sharply at Su Mo, and then said with a laugh, "Four Seas Arena only allows martial artists of the same level to battle. We're two levels apart, so we can't fight!"
Su Mo said with a smile, "Don't worry about that. I've already won 50 battles, and I will keep winning tomorrow until I win 100 battles, so we can fight!"
Su Mo's eyes were filled with unbeatable confidence as if winning another 50 battles was easy for him.
"Huh?"
The surrounding crowd were stunned by Su Mo's words.
"This guy is way too arrogant!"
"He wants to win 100 battles in a row in Four Seas Arena?"
"How is that possible? Winning 100 battles in a row is no easy feat!"
"Experts who can win another 50 rounds while fighting a higher level are few and far between!"
"Humf! How arrogant!"
Yan Ba scoffed. He did not believe that Su Mo could accomplish it.
"Don't worry. Even if I can't win 100 battles in a row, I'll still fight with you out of the stage!"
Su Mo assured his opponent.
Yan Ba's eyes narrowed, and he said with a chuckle, "Alright, I'll go back to Four Seas Arena tomorrow!"
Su Mo nodded and looked at Xiang Bo and Liu Canyang.
"I'll be waiting for you two at Four Seas Arena tomorrow as well!" Su Mo said coldly.
He was not going to go easy on any of his enemies.
Although Liu Canyang was at Lv 8 Spiritual Martial Realm, and Su Mo was not sure if he could beat him, Su Mo still had the advantages of unwavering confidence and fighting spirit!
He was going to seize this battle!
He was going to give it his all!
He was not going to hold back!
Chapter 183: Martial Soul Transformation
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Both Xiang Bo and Liu Canyang laughed when they heard what Su Mo said.
However, their smiles meant differently.
Xiang Bo was sneering at Su Mo as he was going to raise his level to challenge martial artists at Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm.
Whereas his cultivation was at the Peak Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm.
If Su Mo were to fight him, could he possibly win the duel?
He was the champion of the outer gate disciple in the Scorching Sun Sect. An average Inner Disciple with Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm was not even his match, let alone Su Mo, who only had the cultivation of Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm.
On the other hand, Liu Canyang's smile showed his disdain. Because his cultivation had already reached Lv 8 Spiritual Martial Realm. Su Mo would not have any chance to duel with him!
"Liu Canyang, if I win 150 rounds in a row, then let's fight!"
Su Mo looked toward Liu Canyang and added on.
The crowd was stunned!
"150 rounds in a row?"
"Puff!"
Some of them even burst out laughing!
"This fellow was not being arrogant, he was intentionally making fun of everyone!"
Even the Four Talents of Skymoon Country who had Earth Class Martial Soul could only win over a hundred rounds in a row. The one who won the most was Duan Jingtian, and that was only 108 rounds straight.
Even Four Seas Fighting Ring had been around for three or four hundred years. The best winning streak recorded was only 153 rounds.
That record was created by an unbelievable talent. After winning 150 rounds in a row and up 3 levels of battle, even if his combat strength was formidable, he was still defeated during the third round of duel!
And now, Su Mo actually wanted to challenge Liu Canyang after 150 rounds of battles!
"Did he think that he is better than that talent?"
"Was this even possible?"
Nobody took this seriously!
Liu Canyang also did not take this seriously but he was infuriated!
His face was cold.
"To challenge me after 150 rounds of battles?"
"What did Su Mo take me for?"
Liu Canyang took it that Su Mo totally looked down on him and did not respect him at all!
"Tomorrow, I shall watch you die." Liu Canyang said coldly before he turned and left.
He would go Four Seas Fighting Ring, not to challenge Su Mo, but to watch him killed by other people.
Both Yan Ba and Xiang Bo were so much stronger than Su Mo. There was no chance for him to win continuously.
Supposed Su Mo might be killed by Xiang Bo first!
If Su Mo were to die on the fighting ring, Liu Canyang would be the first to dash up and steal his Soul-sealing Crystal.
Liu Canyang left without any hesitation.
After Liu Canyang left, Su Mo looked at Xiang Bo and glanced at Hong Tengyun and the rest, reminding him saying, "Xiang Bo, don't forget our duel tomorrow!"
Xiang Bo smiled coldly and said, "Since you wish for death, I'll gladly grant it to you!
"At the Four Seas Arena, I shall see how you are going to win consecutively tomorrow!"
After saying, Xiang Bo left with Hong Tengyun and the rest of the people.
Su Mo watched their back as they left, with his eyes shining faintly.
"As for who was going to survive, we would find out tomorrow!"
A short while later, as Su Mo glanced through the crowd, he spotted Ling Muchen and Fei Kuang.
"Ling Muchen, Fei Kuang, I've not seen you guys for a long while!" Su Mo smiled and said to both of them.
"Su Mo, Yan Ba's strength is super powerful; you better be careful tomorrow!"
Ling Muchen pondered as he warned Su Mo.
Ling Muchen had no feud with Su Mo. At the same time, he admired Su Mo's talent, hence giving him some reminders.
He did not warn Su Mo to be cautious about Xiang Bo as he thought since he could kill Nangong Linjue, Su Mo's strength was definitely not weaker than him.
Xiang Bo was the first disciple of the outer gate of the Scorching Sun Sect. No matter how strong he was, he could not be stronger than Nangong Linjue!
Ling Muchen also did not warn Su Mo about Liu Canyang, because his cultivation was that of Lv 8 Spiritual Martial Realm whereby the level was too high.
It was impossible for Su Mo to duel with him at the Four Seas Arena.
Just like what Su Mo mentioned, only after he won 150 rounds in a row, then he could up three levels to challenge martial artists with Lv 8 Spiritual Martial Realm.
However, that seemed to be apparently impossible.
Hence, Ling Muchen did not see the need to warn him.
"Don't worry! Who's stronger or weaker is still hard to tell!"
Su Mo nodded his head and asked, "When did you guys arrive at Imperial City?"
Ling Muchen said, "We are from Imperial City, our family lives here!"
Su Mo then realized that both of their families were in Imperial City.
"Su Mo, I've confidence in you. You'll definitely defeat Yan Ba!"
Fei Kuang walked up and proclaimed loudly, "Those fellas from the Sky Alliance are so arrogant. I also don't like them!"
"Ha ha!"
Su Mo laughed. Fei Kuang was exactly like his outlook, rough and heroic.
After chitchatting with both of them for a while, Su Mo said, "I've something on, got to go!"
Su Mo could not wait to go back to devour the Earth Class Martial Soul he had auctioned.
Shortly after, Luo Huan and Luo Qianfan also greeted them and the three of them went back to Luo Mansion together.
"Su Mo, how confident are you to defeat Yan Ba tomorrow?" Luo Qianfan asked Su Mo as he sent him to the guest room.
Luo Qianfan believed that Su Mo could surely defeat Xiang Bo. But he was not sure about Yan Ba. After all, he was a martial artist at the Peak Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm.
Su Mo pondered and smiled, saying, "60%-70% chance!"
Su Mo was being conservative because he had not really dueled with Yan Ba, so he was not sure about his strength.
If Yan Ba was like Nangong Linjue, who had the cultivation of super combat strength, then he might not have full confidence as well.
"Hmm!"
Luo Qianfan nodded his head. He was relieved when Su Mo said that.
He knew Su Mo was not a hotheaded person; he was matured enough.
Hence, when Su Mo stated that he had 60%-70% confidence, his capabilities would not differ too much from his estimation.
After advising Su Mo, Luo Qianfan left.
Then Su Mo went back to his room.
Inside his room, Su Mo sat down in meditation and flipped his palm. The High-class Soul-sealing Crystal then appeared in his hands.
As Su Mo looked into the inner crystal and saw the golden War Saber Martial Soul, it made his heart thumped again.
This War Saber Martial Soul was not only the Earth Class Martial Soul but also a Martial Soul of the Rank 2 Earth Class.
If consuming the War Saber Martial Soul still did not elevate Su Mo's Martial Soul to Earth Class, that would be unbelievable.
After all, Earth Class Martial Soul was so much stronger than the Human Class Martial Soul!
Moreover, his Devouring Martial Spirit had already devoured so many Beast Souls. Reckoned it should be close to elevating to the Earth Class.
The High-class Soul-sealing Crystal was no different from those Soul Crystals that Su Mo had bought previously. It should be a higher class Soul Crystal.
Su Mo did not break the Soul-sealing Crystal recklessly but released his Martial Soul first.
The Devouring Martial Spirit was shining with nine yellow halos, floating at Su Mo's back. As he activated them, within the dark vortex, there was a force of suction as the surrounding Spiritual Qi came in torrents.
Taking a deep breath, Su Mo squeezed his palm with force.
Bam!
The Soul-sealing Crystal was crushed and the golden War Saber Martial Soul appeared instantly.
The saber was five to six meter long and extremely huge. There were two dark purple halos wrapping around the saber.
As the saber was exposed, a sharp saber Qi soared and a formless saber will shrouded the whole room.
Even though Su Mo's human body was strong, he still felt the pain as if a saber cutting his whole body.
This War Saber Martial Soul, although it was maste masterless, its strength was still incredible.
"Devour!"
Su Mo growled and desperately activating his Martial Soul.
Buzz!
The War Saber Martial Soul was vibrating with a buzz and slowly flew toward the Devouring Martial Spirit.
When the War Saber Martial Soul was sucked into the devouring vortex, Su Mo's Devouring Martial Spirit began to vibrate violently.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Within the Devouring Martial Spirit, it was vibrating nonstop with muffled sound.
Su Mo could clearly feel the overwhelming strength of the Martial Soul rapidly assimilating into his Martial Soul.
Clang!
Initially, there were only nine yellow halos on the Devouring Martial Spirit. At this moment, one of the halos instantly turned pale purple.
Subsequently, the yellow halos turned to pale purple one by one.
After three breaths, nine yellow halos had already completely changed to nine pale purple halos.
In the next instant, Bang! Nine halos cracked and rapidly reconstructed on its own.
Just a blink of an eye, nine pale purple halos transformed into a dazzling dark purple halo.
Martial Soul of the Rank 1 Earth Class!
As Su Mo's Martial Soul progressed to the Earth Class, his Devouring Martial Spirit swiftly bloated.
His Devouring Martial Spirit bloated to over 10 meters tall instantly, even going through the room's rooftop and causing a commotion from afar.
"What's that?"
"I can feel the coercion from the horrifying Martial Soul. My Martial Soul feels pressure."
"Third young master's friend stays there, we'd better don't disturb him!"
Some of the Luo Mansion guards who saw this scenario were talking about it.
At this moment, Su Mo sat in the middle of the room, temporarily forgetting to withdraw his Martial Soul as his eyes revealed a confused look.
His Martial Soul had already devoured the War Saber Martial Soul and elevated to the Earth Class.
However, the War Saber Martial Soul did not disappear. It was as if it had become one with his Devouring Martial Spirit, fading in and out within the vortex.
Chapter 184: In Anticipation
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
"What's going on?"
Su Mo was baffled. Previously, when he had devoured Beast Souls or Martial Souls, these would have completely disappeared.
However, the War Saber Martial Soul still remained and had become one with his Martial Spirit!
The War Saber Martial Soul was no longer shining. It became illusionary and tiny and swirled around the Martial Spirit.
Su Mo could feel the Martial Spirit become one with him. He vividly felt an additional powerful aura in his Martial Spirit.
After a while, Su Mo sighed and stopped thinking about it, since he could not explain it.
Either way, his Martial Spirit had advanced to Earth Class, so it was definitely more powerful than before!
"I wonder how fast I can absorb the Spiritual Qi!"
Su Mo activated his Martial Spirit a little. All the Spiritual Qi within a few hundred meters flooded toward him.
The speed of absorption was many times faster than when he was at Rank 9 Human Class.
A few servants of the Luo Mansion who were hundreds of meters away had noticed something amiss. They stood afar and watched, curious to know what was happening.
A few of them suddenly screamed.
"Oh! What's happening? Why is my Blood Qi draining out so quickly?"
"Me too! My genuine Qi is dissipating as well!"
"Let's get out of this place quickly!"
The few servants were shocked and quickly left.
Within such a short period of time, the few of them not only had lost half of their genuine Qi, but they also became skinnier.
In the room, Su Mo's eyes shone brightly and quickly withdrew his Martial Spirit.
He was stunned.
He had felt his Devouring Martial Spirit absorbing a great amount of Blood Qi and genuine Qi.
With his increase in strength, he had become much more perceptive.
He could sense what had happened to the few servants who were more than a few hundred meters away.
"I can now absorb the Qi of blood essence and genuine Qi of the living!"
Su Mo was extremely stunned.
Previously, his Devouring Martial Spirit was only able to devour the blood essence of dead martial artists and demonic beasts.
However, after his Martial Spirit had advanced to Earth Class, his devouring ability had enhanced. He could even devour the blood essence of the living!
Not only that, he could also absorb their genuine Qi!
Su Mo shivered. With this ability, his cultivation would improve at astonishing speeds!
If he activated his Martial Spirit during combats, the opponents would be drained of their Qi in no time!
Su Mo gradually left his state of shock and became excited. He was thrilled.
From now on, his Martial Spirit would enhance his combat strength to an extraordinary level.
"I wonder if this ability will work on powerful experts!" Su Mo thought.
The cultivation of the few servants was low. They were at Lv 9 Qi Cultivation Realm.
Su Mo wondered if he could devour the genuine Qi and blood essence of those martial artists who were at higher levels, including experts of the True Spirit Realm!
If he could do that, this ability would be extremely powerful!
Su Mo took a while to calm himself down. He then activated his Martial Spirit and started his cultivation.
His cultivation was at the Peak Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm. He was very close to reaching the Lv 6, and he had to do it fast!
Time passed quickly.
…
Early in the morning, after Su Mo had finished his breakfast, Luo Qianfan came to him with his sister.
"Su Mo, this is the day you will become famous!" Luo Qianfan said with a smile.
Yes! Brother Su Mo, if you can win 100 rounds consecutively, you will be famous in Skymoon Country!" Luo Huan said with a seductive smile.
Su Mo scratched his nose, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I hope so!"
Su Mo sighed. He wondered if it would be a good thing to be famous in Skymoon Country!
However, he could not be bothered now.
The three of them left the Luo Mansion and headed toward Four Seas Fighting Ring.
The Four Seas Fighting Ring was extremely crowded, especially at the sixth battle station. The spectators stand was overly packed with people.
Many talented disciples from big and powerful families in Imperial City were here.
There were also disciples from the four sects who had heard of the combat and had come to watch.
The youth who had won 50 rounds of combat in a row would be competing at the sixth battle station.
According to a rumor from the day before, the young man was named Su Mo. He would be challenging Xiang Bo, the top disciple from the Scorching Sun Sect, and Yan Ba, an Inner Disciple of Gale Island.
They had heard that Su Mo was very arrogant. He looked down on Liu Canyang of the Sky Rapier Sect and had said that he would take Liu Canyang on after he had won 150 rounds of combat.
Rumors were spreading around and had attracted many experts to the fighting ring.
"How many rounds will Su Mo win today?"
"It's tough for him! How can one possibly pit against those at a higher level and expect to win? Impossible!"
"That's right! I don't think he can defeat Xiang Bo!"
"Hoho, it's possible for Su Mo to win 100 rounds! You haven't heard that he's the top Outer Disciple in Gale Island this year! My cousin is an Outer Disciple in Gale Island. I've heard from him that Su Mo had killed Nangong Linjue, the number one Outer Disciple among the top 10 Outer Disciples."
Many were discussing in the spectators stand. They did not think that Su Mo would win. However, a small group of people had confidence in him.
"Look, that's the sixth prince. He has come to watch the combat!"
The crowd shouted as they saw a group of five to six youth walking toward them.
The one leading the way was in a python-patterned robe. He looked tall and elegant.
Behind him were five other charming boys and girls.
"The sixth prince is a disciple of the Sky Yuan Sect. Those who are with him must be disciples as well!"
"Yes, they are disciples of the Sky Yuan Sect!" The crowd commented.
Those princes and princesses of the Imperial family in Skymoon were disciples of the four sects.
By placing them in the sects, not only could they be better trained, but they also could foster better relationships with the four sects. This would solidify the position of the Imperial family.
Many experts in the Imperial family were holding eldership positions in the four sects.
The sixth zone in Four Seas Fighting Ring was bustling with people. Young experts kept flooding in.
However, no one was in the battle ring.
Everyone was waiting for Su Mo to arrive.
After an hour, a handsome youth strode in with a long dark sword on his back.
Su Mo had arrived!
Chapter 185: Flame Illusion Sabersmanship
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Su Mo, Luo Qianfan and Luo Huan arrived to the 6th zone of Four Seas Arena.
After nodding to Luo Qianfan, Su Mo strode toward the central fighting ring directly.
Bang!
Upon stepping onto the fighting ring, Su Mo sharply glanced around the 6th zone and flatly said, "My name is Su Mo. Anyone at Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm can come to fight me!"
The plain voice showed his pride and confidence to overlook the heroes.
All the spectator stands had already quietened down as Su Mo entered.
Many geared up with strong fighting desires.
Meanwhile, Xiang Bo, Tong Yu, Hong Tengyun and others were here.
Upon hearing Su Mo's words, Tong Yu stood up and laughed, "Senior Brother Xiang, since Su Mo wants a winning streak, let me defeat him at the very beginning!"
Finishing those words, he could not wait to rush to the central fighting ring.
Whoosh!
Tong Yu went up and sneered. "Su Mo, stop expecting to continue a winning streak, because I'll ruin your cultivation!"
"How arrogant." Su Mo stared at Tong Yu coldly and laughed grimly.
Su Mo asked, "Are you sure to ruin my cultivation?"
"Of course!"
Tong Yu nodded and said with an ironic smile. "Maybe you don't know who you'll fight with. I'm the top four disciple of the Scorching Sun Sect's outer gate. Very few could defeat me among thousands of Outer Disciples. Now you know my strength!"
Judging from Tong Yu's words, it was obvious that he felt very proud of his strength.
Su Mo thought, "Only Top Four of the Scorching Sun Sect's outer gate? Why so proud?"
Well, he was the top one of Gale Island's outer gate, which meant nothing to him.
"Really strong!"
Su Mo seriously nodded and said, "However, are you done talking rubbish? Let's start!"
Tong Yu, after hearing the question, was very angry. How dare Su Mo say that his words were rubbish.
"Damn it!"
He cried in anger and rushed toward Su Mo.
"Flame-blasting Fist!"
Along with the scorching heat, the crimson fist pushed Tong Yu's momentum to the highest point.
"So weak!"
Su Mo shook his head in disdain.
Though Tong Yu was the top four of the Scorching Sun Sect's outer gate, he was still far away from that of the same ranking in Gale Island's outer gate. His strength, at best, could equal to Lu Shaoyun's, who was ranked the sixth in Gale Island's outer gate.
Just one fist, Su Mo broke that crimson fist and came to Tong Yu in the twinkling of an eye.
"What?"
Tong Yu was shocked that Su Mo was strong enough to break his attack so easily.
"Lose!"
Rather than retreat, Tong Yu cried and chose to punch at Su Mo's head.
Boom!
Suddenly, after a loud noise, the genuine Qi burst, and a light golden palm blocked the fist.
"You want to ruin my cultivation?"
Su Mo abruptly grabbed Tong Yu's fist and sneered, "So, let me ruin yours!"
Then Su Mo exerted power through his palm. Suddenly, Tong Yu's fist was scrunched up into a bloody pile of flesh, and his palm bones completely crushed.
"Ah!"
With a scream, Tong Yu was about to retreat.
But his poor palm was still tightly held by Su Mo. How could he retreat?
Boom!
Su Mo punched at Tong Yu's elixir field of his lower abdomen, and his strong fist force directly exploded it.
"Ah!"
As another scream erupted, Tong Yu's genuine Qi started to leak from his elixir field. Within a few seconds, Tong Yu lost all his cultivation and became disabled.
"Be thankful that you didn't want to kill me just now. Otherwise, you would be dead now!" Su Mo said coldly and kicked Tong Yu out of the fighting ring.
Everyone fell into silence.
Dead silence!
Many were inwardly surprised at Su Mo's geniue strength. No wonder he could have a streak with over 50 victories. He could get such a perfect victory even in a leapfrog fighting!
Sitting on one of the spectators stands, Yan Ba showed no emotion towards the fight.
While, on the other side, Xiang Bo abruptly stood up, his face and eyes exhibiting strong killing intent.
He did not expect that Su Mo really had some strength and that he could defeat Tong Yu so easily.
Standing in the fighting ring, Su Mo perceived a strong killing intent cast upon him. When he turned around, he saw it was Xiang Bo. As they stared at each other, it was just like a diamond cutting a diamond. Neither gave way to the other.
"Xiang Bo, Why not come to fight?"
After a short while, Su Mo shouted overwhelmingly.
SWOOSH!
Without any hesitation, Xiang Bo rose up high, and with a step, in a flash, he graciously landed on the ring.
"Su Mo, I swear I'll kill you today!"
Xiang Bo looked dreadful and cried with anger.
With these words, a red long saber appeared in his hand. Without a moment's hesitation, a sideways slash broke the air.
Suddenly, a stream of crimson saber Qi tore through the air and approached Su Mo.
BOOM!
Su Mo's fist force roared in the air and smashed the saber Qi easily.
"Really something!"
Su Mo nodded secretly. Xiang Bo's strength was still a little inferior to Nangong Linjue's, but not by too much.
"Go to hell!"
Xiang Bo looked like the God of War. He used his long saber as though it was a part of himself, and the saber radiance brightly shone in the whole fighting ring.
Due to Xiang Bo's saber, the temperature of the fighting ring surged rapidly.
In a moment, Xiang Bo had already created 33 combos. Endless rays of horrible saber Qi pierced the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Su Mo did not move his feet but used his strong fist impacts to break the saber Qi.
"Why so powerful?"
Su Mo took the 33 strikes so easily that Xiang Bo could not help frowning.
"Xiang Bo, you'll die!" Su Mo said coldly.
"Die?"
Xiang Bo sneered and said, "Who knows! Enjoy my real strength!"
Then he moved quickly to approach Su Mo.
Immediately, Xiang Bo slashed his long saber again.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Seven rays of saber Qi from different directions simultaneously converged to attack Su Mo's vital points, looking like seven streaks of burning fire.
"Flame Illusion Sabersmanship of the Scorching Sun Sect!"
Some martial artists who knew this martial arts technique cried out in an alarm.
This technique was extremely strong. Seven rays of saber Qi emitted, they blocked Su Mo's whole body immediately.
If a normal martial artist encountered this technique, he could do nothing but play handball with it. With seven rays of saber Qi emitted from seven different directions, even if one could catch the first ray, it would be difficult for him to catch the following ones.
By virtue of this Flame Illusion Sabersmanship, Xiang Bo was able to kill two martial artists who were at the Peak Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm. That alone was enough to see how powerful this technique was.
The wide-eyed audience stared at the fighting ring, wondering how Su Mo would block such a strike.
Chapter 186: Instant Killing
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
The seven wisps of fiery Saber Qi attacked Su Mo from seven different directions. They moved as if they had eyes.
The air was affected by their intense heat, and the people's vision became blurred.
Faced with this movement, Su Mo used offense for defense. He moved like lightning and walked through the Saber Qi, leaving a residual shadow where he was just standing.
He dodged five of the Saber Qi wisps and destroyed the remaining two with two punches.
"What? Such a rapid speed!"
Xiang Bo went deathly pale. He had never encountered a martial artist of the Spiritual Martial Realm who had a speed that high.
"Your strength is nothing more than this!"
Su Mo disdainfully smiled and said, "You can go to hell now!"
He punched again the moment that he finished his words.
"Tiger Roaring and Dragon Fist—Dragon Conquering the World!"
The sound of a dragon resounded throughout the field, and a dragon arose from Su Mo's fist shadow. It then swiftly attacked Xiang Bo with an unstoppable momentum.
It was a mighty movement. The fist radiance was dazzling and had the size of a water tank. It was 100 times the size of an ordinary man's fist. It exploded the air in front of it the moment that it appeared.
Su Mo's Tiger Roaring and Dragon Fist had reached the Minor Completion Realm, so it had doubled in power.
In addition to that, Su Mo used his seven Spiritual Spirals, so it had a sevenfold combat strength.
Su Mo was ready to kill him because he was tired of fighting.
Su Mo was now much stronger than before. When he participated in the Outer Disciple Competition, his cultivation was only at Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm. But now, he had reached the Peak Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm and had condensed another Spiritual Spiral.
"Destroy!"
Xiang Bo felt the horrifying power of this punch. His aura shot up crazily, so he quickly released his Martial Soul to protect his entire body.
His Martial Soul was not a knife but a stele with a burning flame.
The stele was five or six meters high and looked like a wall that was burning.
The Martial Soul of the Rank 9 Human Class, Flaming Stele!
It provided a strong defense. With the Flaming Stele and the powerful Genuine Qi around him, Xiang Bo's defense was very solid. Even a martial artist at the Peak Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm would not able to destroy it.
Xiang Bo held the saber with both hands and crazily swung it down. The saber radiance from the long saber collided with the fist radiance and created an earsplitting explosion.
Boom!
The devastating waves of the explosion spread everywhere.
Pfft!
Xiang Bo was shaking, spitting out blood. His hands were cut open and his sleeves instantly turned to ashes. The Flaming Stele Martial Soul was also shaking and was nearly destroyed.
Thump! Thump!
He was forced to back off again and again.
"What? Xiang Bo has been injured!"
The others were shocked. Xiang Bo was a top disciple among the Outer Gate of the Scorching Sun Sect, and his abilities were as strong as a martial artist at the Peak Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm.
But now, he was hurt by Su Mo, who only had a cultivation at Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm.
"He's alive!"
Su Mo felt slightly surprised. Xiang Bo was stronger than he had thought. At the very least, he had a very strong defense.
"Since you are still alive, here's another punch!"
Su Mo approached him as quick as lightning and landed an even stronger punch.
"Tiger Roaring and Dragon Fist—Dragon Battle in Star Field!"
The dragon roar shook the earth and the billowy fist force quickly approached Xiang Bo, who was backing off.
"What?"
Xiang Bo was frightened. Su Mo's first punch had hurt him badly. Now his Qi blood was surging, even his Genuine Qi could not work well.
At this critical moment, Xiang Bo had to quickly activate his Genuine Qi and Martial Soul. He tried to block the attack from Su Mo with his long saber.
However, Su Mo's attack was too strong tto be blocked.
Boom!
The fist force struck the long saber and drove it into Xiang Bo's body, making a booming explosion.
His Flaming Stele Martial Soul exploded and dissipated.
"Ahh!" Xiang Bo screamed.
Blood ran from his mouth, nose, ears, and eyes. He was thrown out of the fighting ring more than 200 meters away before he fell heavily on the ground.
He was constantly twitching with his eyes wide open as blood gushed out of the seven openings of his head.
The twitching lasted for a few seconds before it stopped, and then he died.
A dead silence filled the entire sixth section.
Everyone held their breath.
Countless eyes were staring at the sturdy teenager in the fighting ring.
"Strong!"
"He is so strong!"
He had killed Xiang Bo, who was at the Peak Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm. Su Mo's cultivation was only at the Peak of the Level 5!
Furthermore, Xiang Bo was not a normal martial artist at Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm martial artist, but a super genius. He had the ability to kill someone whose level was higher, but now he had been killed by Su Mo, whose level was even lower than his.
Hong Tengyun and Qing Jue sat in the spectator stands, both looking pale and terrified.
They had never expected for Su Mo to be so formidable.
They both felt scared.
Su Mo stood in the fighting ring, getting all of the attention.
Looking around at the spectator stands, Su Mo said again, "Anyone who's at Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm martial artist can come and fight!"
There was an uproar after he had finished speaking.
"He's so powerful, and he has killed Xiang Bo!"
"Yeah! What a brilliant genius! He really has a chance to win 100 matches in a row!"
"Haha! I'd like to fight against him and see how many strikes I can withstand!"
"You? I'm afraid not even one!"
The crowd was discussing him, but no one went into the fighting ring.
The strength that Su Mo had just shown was too powerful and his attack was too violent. It frightened off those who had wanted to challenge him.
They were worried about being killed.
No one stepped into the fighting ring to challenge him until half an hour later.
The challenger was a middle-aged martial artist who appeared to be in his 30s. He held a Long Snake Spear in his hand and was also at the Peak of the Lv 6.
"I'd appreciate your advice!"
He cupped his hands in front of his chest and greeted Su Mo.
Immediately, the man shook his spear and tried to stab Su Mo.
Boom!
Su Mo mercilessly kicked him out of the fighting ring with a punch.
However, he did not kill him because there was no animosity between them.
In the tall tower near the Four Seas Fighting Ring, the gray-haired Elder Yuan stood at the window with his hands behind his back, overlooking the fighting ring at section six.
Behind him were a couple of stewards who were in charge of the competition.
"Elder Yuan, this kid is too powerful. If this continues, it will be possible for him to win 100 rounds of combat!" one of the stewards said in a deep voice.
After pondering for while, Elder Yuan faintly said, "Go all out and block him!"
"Yes!"
The Steward nodded and then seriously said, "But considering that even Xiang Bo was easily killed and it also seems that the kid hasn't shown his most powerful strength yet, I'm afraid that it'll be very hard to block him."
"Launch a Wheel War! Send all the experts at the Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm!" Elder Yuan said in a deep voice.
After thinking for a while, he continued, "In addition, quickly contact the experts with powerful combat strength who are at Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm in Imperial City. Get some genius disciples from the Four Sects as well! Block him together!"
"Good! That'll be perfect! Those men will exhaust him, at least!"
