Warrior's Promise Chapter 299 - Rank 3 Earth Class

“Fine, take my move!” Su Mo said flatly, his stare piercing Zhu Shaojing like a sharp sword.

The air current around him turned into a wild wind and brought him before Zhu Shaojing in an instant.

SWIs.h.!.+

With a flash, Su Mo’s sword tore through the air and stabbed toward Zhu Shaojing.

It was fast, accurate, powerful, unpredictable and overwhelming.

“What?”

Zhu Shaojing’s eyes opened wide from disbelief when he saw Su Mo’s movement.

He could see nothing but a single illusive wind blade coming toward him.

The wind blade was completely unpredictable, and it seemed to have locked on to all his weak spots, becoming entirely unavoidable!

Zhu Shaojing’s hair stood on end and a chill went down his spine. He was completely unprepared; he did not expect Su Mo’s attack to be so powerful!

It was too late to dodge it. With a roar, he formed a thick air s.h.i.+eld of Genuine Vitality around him and attacked the incoming wind blade with his palms.

SLAs.h.!.+

Su Mo dashed past Zhu Shaojing on the wild wind and appeared behind him.

CLANG!

Putting the Spirit-slayer Sword back into its sheath Su Mo said flatly, without looking back, “This sword is your punishment!”

He then strode away.

As everyone took a closer look, they saw that the air s.h.i.+eld of Genuine Vitality covering Zhu Shaojing had been torn apart, and a bleeding sword wound had appeared below his ribs.

Zhu Shaojing was injured!

Everyone lost their cool upon seeing Zhu Shaojing. A genius on the List of Top 100 Talents, losing to a single move from that man!

Zhu Shaojing froze in a daze as fear flashed in his eyes. Although Su Mo’s attack had seemed unimpressive, it had contained so much killing desire that he had thought he was going to die.

Thinking back to that sword, fear grew stronger in Zhu Shaojing’s mind.

As he watched Su Mo leaving, Zhu Shaojing furrowed his brows and fell into a deep thought.

Su Mo swiftly returned to his residence at the Mus.

He was heading for the Imperial City with Mu Lingping and Xu Xinghan the next morning so he stayed the night at the Mus.

Su Mo sat cross-legged in his room and took out the Beast Souls that he had purchased.

“With so many Upper Lv 3 Beast Souls, my Martial Soul will definitely rank up more than once!”

Su Mo was beaming with excitement.

If his Martial Soul could rank up even with so many Beast Souls, he would really be speechless.

Su Mo soon released his Devouring Martial Soul. He was lucky that the guest room at the Mus was so huge and that there wasn’t anyone close by, or else it would be difficult.

CRACK!

After shattering a Cla.s.s 7 Lv 3 Soul Crystal, Su Mo started devouring the Beast Soul inside.

As he unleashed his Devouring Martial Soul’s devouring power, the Beast Souls seemed to have met the bane of their existence and were swallowed instantly, unable to put up a fight.

When Su Mo was halfway through the over 500 Cla.s.s 7 Lv 3 Soul Crystals, his Devouring Martial Soul finally reacted.

The Devouring Martial Soul trembled and another purple halo appeared.

Rank 2 Earth Cla.s.s Martial Soul!

Su Mo was overjoyed that his Martial Soul ranked up with only less than 300 Cla.s.s 7 Lv 3 Beast Souls.

However, Su Mo knew that this was because he had killed many people recently. Especially during the Qinghua Trial Test, where he devoured many Martial Souls, hence the quick progress.

Taking a deep breath, he continued devouring.

CRACK! CRACK!

One after another, the Beast Soul Crystals were shattered, following which, the Beast Souls were devoured.

Soon, Su Mo had used up all of the Cla.s.s 7 Lv 3 Beast Souls. He then started devouring the Cla.s.s 8 Lv 3 Beast Souls, but his Martial Soul did not rank up again even once he was finished.

“With this many Beast Souls, my Devouring Martial Soul can’t possibly only rank up once!”

Su Mo felt frustrated and went on to devour the Cla.s.s 9 Lv 3 Beast Souls.

There were not many Cla.s.s 9 Lv 3 Beast Souls, only 73 in fact. However, each of them was equivalent to three or four Cla.s.s 8 Lv 3 Beast Souls.

Su Mo had soon devoured 68 of the Cla.s.s 9 Lv 3 Beast Souls, having only a few spare.

At this moment, the Devouring Martial Soul finally reacted again to Su Mo’s utmost excitement.

BUZZ! BUZZ!

The Devouring Martial Soul could not stop trembling as the third purple halo appeared.

The Devouring Martial Soul had finally reached Rank 3 Earth Cla.s.s!

“Hahaha!!” After devouring the remaining Beast Souls, Su Mo could not help but laugh.

“With a Martial Soul of Rank 3 Earth Cla.s.s, I imagine not many in the Hong Domain can exceed the level of my Martial Soul!” Su Mo thought to himself.

Su Mo took a long while to calm himself down, before starting to refine his Genuine Vitality again.

His cultivation had completely stabilized, and he was almost done with refining his Genuine Vitality. He would be preparing to advance toward Lv 3 True Spirit Realm within the next few days!

The night ended silently in cultivating.

The next morning, Su Mo, Mu Lingping and Xu Xinghan, left the Mus and flew toward the Imperial City.

The Imperial City of the Topsun Country was about 5,000 kilometers away from Tongzhou City. The three of them would only take a day to travel the distance.

“Master Su Mo, with your strength, you might be able to enter the List of Top 100 Talents with some luck!” Mu Lingping said with a smile.

“Indeed! Brother Su Mo killed a Cla.s.s 4 Lv 3 Demonic Beast with a single strike, meaning that his strength is incredibly close to the geniuses at the bottom of the list.” Xu Xinghan nodded and said.

The two of them already knew that Su Mo would be partic.i.p.ating in the Top-100-talent Compet.i.tion, just like themselves.

Hearing them, Su Mo shook his head secretly.

“Luck?”

He must depend on his own strength to make it into the list. He would never leave it to luck!

“I’ll try my best to get on the list!” Su Mo replied.

Su Mo then asked, “How many geniuses from your Topsun Country are in the List of Top 100 Talents?”

Mu Lingping replied, “There are five of them. They are the third prince, Jia Yuanji; deadly swordsman, Han Yijian; Rakshasa She-devil, Honglian; Fang Xu; and Zhu Shaojing, who are ranked at 49th; 53rd; 58th; 73rd; and 86th respectively.”

Su Mo nodded, he was unsurprised that a big country like Topsun Country had five geniuses on the list. It would never be like the small Skymoon Country; which only had Yun Jiankong on the list— not to mention at the 98th position.

“By the way, master Su Mo, what country do you come from?” Mu Lingping instantly realized that Su Mo was not from Topsun Country when he said “your Topsun Country”.

“I’m from Skymoon Country!” Su Mo replied.

“Skymoon Country!”

Mu Lingping and Xu Xinghan were surprised to hear this. They had expected Su Mo to be from Wuning Country, since Wuning Country and Topsun Country were neighbours, with only the Yan River between them. Furthermore, Wuning Country was a big country as well.

They had never expected Su Mo to be from a small country like Skymoon Country.

They were secretly astonished that a small country like Skymoon Country could produce a genius like Su Mo!

The three did not feel bored since they chatted as they flew. As dusk approached, they finally reached the Imperial City of Topsun Country.
