Warrior's Promise
chapter-1219

In his tower.

Jun Wuxi, Feng Shaoyu and the two others were also there. They did not dare to go out of the tower.

They were in the Shenwu Academy and they trembled with fear after sensing all the powerful auras outside.

After seeing Su Mo return, they gathered around him.

"11th Junior Brother, where is this place? I feel the presence of many horrific experts outside!"

Feng Shaoyu asked in shock. He had never sensed such powerful auras before. Every aura was several times more powerful than Wu Sen's in the Martial Emperor Realm. They might even exceed his aura a hundred times.

"This is the Shenwu Academy!" Su Mo said.

"The Shenwu Academy?"

The four gave a slight start and then Yun Fei asked, very surprised, "Have you... departed from the Firmament World?"

In fact, the four had already guessed: this must be somewhere outside the Firmament World.

Since within the Firmament World, there could not be so many experts.

Now, hearing this from Su Mo's mouth, they still could not but be shocked.

There was no Shenwu Academy in the Firmament World. This place must be somewhere outside!

"Well, I have left the Firmament World and come to Star Guzhou in the Ancientspirit Galaxy." Su Mo nodded.

Feng Shaoyu and the other three heard him and were stunned. The Ancientspirit Galaxy? Star Guzhou?

They looked stupidly at him. Su Mo had escaped. How did he do that?

What about Wu Sen?

And the Trial Testers?

"11th Junior Brother, where are Wu Sen and the Trial Testers?" Hua Suiyu asked what the others had all wanted to know.

"Wu Sen has been killed by me. And I've almost killed every Trial Tester of the Sorcerer tribe!" Su Mo said in a deep and calm voice.

"What?" They heard him and were again astounded. Billows of shock surged their minds.

They were not surprised by the fact that Wu Sen was dead. It was, however, horrific to learn that nearly all the Trial Testers had been killed.

Had Su Mo become so powerful, that he could kill almost every Trial Tester?

"So what are your plans?" Su Mo sighed and did not continue the conversation about the Trial Testers.

They remained silent. Since they know nothing about the outside world, where could they go?

"Why don't you all join the Firmament Palace? I believe Second Senior Sister and Tenth Senior Brother would both like to see you too." Su Mo told them in a deep and calm voice.

"Well... !" The four became silent again. Join the Firmament Palace?

Although they would love to be reunited with An Nuan and Tian Chen and settled down in this new world, they still harbored some qualms about joining the Firmament Palace.

They knew that Su Mo had probably killed Huangfu Qing.

They could not stop Su Mo and felt guilty about Huangfu Qing. If they joined the Firmament Palace, their misgivings would intensify.

Although Huangfu Qing had once coerced them, he was still their Master. He had nurtured them for many years.

"With your current strengths, you can't do anything in Star Guzhou. Your lives will be endangered!" Su Mo tried to persuade them after reading their minds.

He did not want these former Senior Brothers and Senior Sister to wander in this vast Guzhou. He would like to give them a stable environment to mature.

"After joining the Firmament Palace, you can practice without any worries and pursue a higher realm in your martial arts!

"Star Guzhou is very big. Where can you all go?

"You have no backing and will easily encounter life-threatening dangers!"

Su Mo kept persuading them, explaining the benefits and the risks. After some time, the four finally agreed to join the Firmament Palace.

They knew that Su Mo was doing this for their own good. They could not reject his good intentions anymore. If they continued to do so, it would mean they bore grudges against him.

In the end, Su Mo kept the four of them into the jade bracelet domain. He would bring them along the next time he went to the Firmament Palace.

After that, Su Mo started to practice in the tower, trying to consolidate the realm he had just broken into. At the same time, he thought about how to evolve his Martial Soul into a Fighting Soul.

...

Time flew by. At noontime, Instructor Mu Li, dressed all in white, arrived at Su Mo's home.

"This is your identification badge. From now on, you are an official disciple of the Shenwu Academy, Southern Yard!"

Just outside the tower gate, Mu Li handed a palm-sized identification badge to Su Mo. Her white dress fluttered in the air.

It was a silver-white stone badge, resplendent like the glittering stars.

Su Mo took over the identification badge, examined it casually and put it away.

"Thank you very much!" Su Mo thanked her with a cupped fist in a hand. At the same time, he realized that the vast outer mansion was not one single division. Since there was a Southern Yard, there must be the Northern, Eastern and Western Yards as well.

Mu Li glanced Su Mo. Her eyes shone with surprise as she discovered he had broken through into a new realm.

Within a short day, he had broken through from Lv 9 Martial Royal to the Emperor-to-be Realm. His improvement was too fast!

"Instructor asked me to bring you a message: if you have straightened out your thoughts, you can go to Huoyuan Peak, inner mansion, anytime you like!" Mu Li said coldly.

Mu Li was feeling a little jealous. She felt a little envy over the treatment Su Mo was getting.

Despite being an instructor of the outer mansion, Southern Yard, and as a practitioner with an Lv 2 Martial Honored Realm cultivation--a Lower craftswoman--she still had few chances to receive guidance from Grand Master Huoyuan.

Su Mo was not willing to learn craftsmanship from Grand Master Huoyuan. Yet the latter had given him another chance to choose.

It was so infuriating!

"Ha ha! I will think about it!" Su Mo gave an embarrassed smile and nodded at once.

He was feeling quite helpless inside. He was a craftsman like Steward Chai. Since Steward Chai had recommended him here, it was likely that he wanted Su Mo to learn Qi cultivation from Grand Master Huoyuan.

And yet he had rejected Grand Master Huoyuan. He felt a bit remorseful toward Steward Chai.

However, he had no other choice.

"Very well." Mu Li heard him and nodded her head gently, Then she turned to go.

"Wait a while, Instructor Mu!" Su Mo hastily called out to her upon seeing her leave.

Mu Li stopped and turned to glance at Su Mo. She thought that he had finally straightened out his thoughts.

"Instructor Mu, since you are a mentor, could I consult you on a matter?" Su Mo said in a deep and calm voice.

Mu Li nodded and motioned for him to ask.

Su Mo hesitated for a moment, and then continued in the same tone. "Instructor Mu, I'd like you ask you: how much can the level of a Martial Soul affect that person's Fighting Soul?"

Right now, this was the question which Su Mo would most like to ask. If the level of his Martial Soul did not affect his Fighting Soul much, he would try to evolve the latter.

"What do you mean?" Mu Li looked baffled and asked in a cold voice. She had not quite understood Su Mo's question.

"What I mean is: if you have two identical Martial Souls but they are of different levels, how different will they be after you have evolved them into Fighting Souls?"

Su Mo explained himself. Of course, he could not reveal the fact that his Martial Soul could get elevated. So he gave it as a mere example.

Mu Li started upon hearing him. She could not understand why he was asking such a simple question.
