Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Under several people’s hateful stares, Su Mo walked out of the stone room.
Lu Shaoyun and the other people had no choice. They sighed and left the stone room as well.
Outside the stone room, the First Elder was sitting with his legs crossed and eyes closed.
He heard the sound of footsteps and opened his eyes.
He was confused to see Su Mo and others leave the stone room.
“Why did you leave?”
The First Elder looked unhappy and said with a frown, “It’s a rare opportunity to cultivate in the Spiritual Pool. You need to seize this opportunity and not waste time!”
Lu Shaoyun and the others twitched their faces but remained silent.
After a while, Ling Muchen said, “First Elder, there’s no more Spiritual Qi left in the Spiritual Pool!”
Ling Muchen’s voice was deep and full of resentment.
“What? No more?”
The First Elder was shocked, and his expression darkened. He yelled, “Are you kidding? The Spiritual Qi in the Spiritual Pool has been collected over the course of many months. There’s more than enough for the seven of you to cultivate for one day. How can it be gone?”
The First Elder did not believe Ling Muchen. The Spiritual Qi in the Spiritual Pool was specially prepared for the top 10 Outer Disciples.
There was even enough for 10 people to absorb for one day.
Now, there were seven people instead of 10, and they should have had no problem absorbing Spiritual Qi for 40 hours.
However, after only 12 hours, they claimed that the Spiritual Qi was gone!
How could this be possible?
The First Elder’s scoldings made Ling Muchen and the others look even more upset, and a few of them looked toward Su Mo.
Su Mo chuckled and said, “First Elder, the Spiritual Qi is really gone! Just take a look!”
The First Elder nodded, furrowed his brows, and walked into the stone room.
He saw the Spiritual Pool completely devoid of Spiritual Qi, and his jaw dropped.
“What… what happened?” the First Elder asked after a while with a surly expression.
He was very confused. How could the Spiritual Qi that was meant to be absorbed by 10 people in 24 hours be completely absorbed by seven people in 12 hours?
“First Elder, Su Mo absorbed the Spiritual Qi faster than the six of us combined!” Duan Bingye said coldly.
“What? He was faster than the six of you?”
The First Elder was shocked, but his expression soon changed. He asked Su Mo excitedly, “Su Mo, do you have… an Earth Class Martial Soul?”
The First Elder was extremely excited. Duan Bingye and the others had Martial Souls of the Rank 8 and Rank 9 Human Class, so if Su Mo could absorb the Spiritual Qi faster than the other six, he undoubtedly had an Earth Class Martial Soul!
People with Earth Class Martial Souls were real geniuses!
Out of over 10,000 disciples on Gale Island, Duan Jingtian was the only one who had an Earth Class Martial Soul.
“No, I only have a Martial Soul of the Human Class Rank Nine!” Su Mo shook his head and said.
The First Elder did not believe Su Mo until he released his Martial Soul.
After all the Spiritual Qi was gone, they saw no reason to stay and left together.
Su Mo walked out of the outer hall and headed toward the Purple Gold Hall.
He was planning to use the 50,000 contribution points that he had won in the Outer Disciple Competition to purchase cultivation resources.
Large crowds of disciples were walking down the mountain.
As it was toward the end of the year, the disciples were all returning home.
Su Mo planned to return to Sunnywood City after purchasing the resources.
At Purple Gold Pavilion, Su Mo purchased six bottles of Upper Lv 2 Pills and 300 Class 7 Lv 2 Beast Soul Crystals. He had used up almost all of the contribution points.
Then, he went back to his lodging.
Su Mo was now one of the top 10 Outer Disciples, so he could move into the special building for the top 10 Outer Disciples.
However, he was used to living in the courtyard, so he did not move into the building.
Before he reached the courtyard, Su Mo saw two people standing in front of the gate.
It was a male and a female.
The man was outstandingly handsome, and the woman had a beautiful sensual body.
It was Luo Qianfan and Luo Huan.
“Hm? Why are they together?”
Su Mo was confused, but he then realized that since both of them had the same surname, they might be related.
“Su Mo, congratulations for being number one in the Outer Disciple Competition. You’ve become well-known in Gale Island!” Luo Qianfan said smilingly as Su Mo approached him.
“Haha! It’s nothing!”
Su Mo chuckled and asked Luo Huan, “Are you…?”
“Su Mo, Qianfan is my younger brother!” Luo Huan said with a smile.
“Oh, so you’re siblings!”
Su Mo finally understood.
He then opened the gate and invited the two to the stone stools in the courtyard.
“Su Mo, we’re here to invite you to visit Imperial City next year!” Luo Qianfan said.
“Imperial City?”
Su Mo asked surprisedly, “Does your family live in Imperial City?”
Luo Qianfan and Luo Huan nodded.
Su Mo sighed, shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, I don’t have time next year. If I have time in the future, I’ll definitely visit Imperial City!”
Su Mo did not have any time right now. He was pressured by Duan Jingtian and the five-year agreement with Shangguan Hao of Emperor Xuan Palace.
Now, one year had passed. He had four years left!
Although Su Mo did not know what cultivation Shangguan Hao had, he was sure that he was hundreds of times more powerful than Duan Jingtian.
Under these circumstances, Su Mo had no time to travel to Imperial City.
Luo Qianfan smiled as if she knew what Su Mo was thinking. She said, “Su Mo, I’m not inviting you to Imperial City for fun. Imperial City is a place of opportunity for you!”
“Oh? What opportunity?”
Su Mo became interested.
Luo Qianfan chuckled and said, “Su Mo, have you heard of the Four Seas Arena in Imperial City?”
“Four Seas Arena?”
Su Mo shook his head.
“Four Seas Arena is the competitive area in Imperial City. It attracts talents and martial artists from all over the world to compete on the fighting ring. If you can win the combats consecutively, the prizes are beyond your imagination!” Luo Qianfan said quietly.
“Oh! How good are the prizes?”
Su Mo’s eyes lit up. He was very eager to gain cultivating resources. If he had enough resources, his strength would improve rapidly.
“You’ll need to go to Imperial City to see for yourself!”
Luo Qianfan kept him in suspense.
After pondering for a while, he continued, “In the past decade, only Four Talents of Skymoon Country have maintained hundred-battle winning streaks. Duan Jingtian has the highest record. He once won 108 battles in a row!”
“108 battles!”
Su Mo was quiet. He was unfamiliar with Four Seas Arena, so he did not know what 108 battles meant.
“What prizes did Duan Jingtian get for winning 108 battles in a row?” Su Mo asked.
He was only concerned about the final reward.
“50,000 Lower Spiritual Stones, equivalent to 100 million taels of gold!”
Luo Qianfan gave Su Mo a number that completely shocked him.
“100 million taels of gold?”
Su Mo widened his eyes and gasped.
100 million taels of gold was an astronomical number to Su Mo.
Luo Qianfan had expected Su Mo to be shocked, and he continued, “With your combat strength, you might not be able to win a hundred battles in a row, but you can probably win 50 or 60 in a row!”
“So? Are you interested?”
Luo Qianfan smiled.
Su Mo was silent for a while, then he finally nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll go to Imperial City next year!”
He could not say no to such a tempting prize.
“Brother Su Mo, when you are at Imperial City, you can come and look for us at Luo Mansion.”
Luo Huan, who was listening quietly all the while, smiled seductively and said, “I’ll be waiting for you at Imperial City!”
“Haha! Alright!” Su Mo smiled and said.
After the three people had chatted for a while, Luo Qianfan and Luo Huan left.
Su Mo sat quietly in the courtyard for a while, and then he got up and closed the gate. He took a boat out of Gale Island to Sunnywood City.
Su Mo did not ride a horse but walked instead.
With his body movement, one stride allowed him to traverse 10 meters, and he was not much slower than a horse.
