Warrior's Promise
chapter-1821

In the grand palace of Yin Shen island, Leng Xie slowly opened his eyes and stared at the black-shirted young man in front of him.

“You are saying that Su Mo’s cultivation rank has already reached the peak of the Rank 7 Martial Honorable Realm?” After hearing the black-shirted young man’s report, Leng Xie couldn’t help frowning.

He had not imagined that Su Mo’s cultivation rank would rise so quickly. Su Mo was virtually biting his back.

Back when Leng Xie was still a Rank 3 Martial Honorable, Su Mo was a Rank 2 Martial Honorable. Now that he was a Rank 8 Martial Honorable, Su Mo was actually a Rank 7 Martial Honorable.

This speed of cultivation was no slower than his.

“Mm, he left the tribe a few days ago and only returned today!” The black-shirted young man replied.

“Where did he go?” Leng Xie calmly asked.

“I think he headed to True Path Sect but I was afraid that I would be discovered if I tailed him and hence I did not follow him all the way!” The black-shirted young man said. He was only a Rank 4 Martial Honorable and did not want to run the risk of following Su Mo in case he was discovered.

“Understood!”

Leng Xie nodded his head and his face darkened, “In the next 3 months, don’t bother me if there is nothing serious. I want to break through to the Rank 9 Martial Honorable Realm by secluding myself in cultivation!”

“Rank 9? So quickly?”

The black-shirted young man exclaimed in shock. He knew that Leng Xie had just broken through to the Rank 8 Martial Honorable Realm 4 months ago and had not expected him to break through to the Rank 9 Martial Honorable Realm so quickly.

Aside from Su Mo who could compare to Leng Xie’s speed of cultivation, no one else could keep up with him.

“This is granted for the Young Clan Leader!” Looking at the shocked look on the black-shirted young man’s face, Leng Xie casually added.

“The Young Clan Leader is exceptionally talented. You will definitely shake many galaxies with your achievements at the crowning ceremony!” The black-shirted young man immediately cupped his fists and praised Leng Xie.

“That is obvious. Go now!” Leng Xie nodded his head confidently as he waved his hand to dismiss the subordinate.

With that, the black-shirted young man bowed to Leng Xie and left.

Leng Xie sat alone in the large hall as his eyes brimmed brightly. He would not bother about Su Mo first as he wanted to raise his strength as fast as possible to prepare for the crowning ceremony.

It was time for his name to spread through the galaxy in this crowning ceremony.

Leng Xie was really looking forward to it.

However, as the Young Clan Leader of the Sun Moon Tribe, he would definitely have to face the challenges of geniuses of various tribes invited to the ceremony.

He would definitely accept the challenges then as he had to prove himself worthy of the Young Clan Leader’s position.

Leng Xie was confident about that, although he was still nervous inwardly.

If he was beaten by someone in a challenge, he would ruin the Sun Moon Tribe’s reputation.

Only if he defeated his opponents could he bring honor to the Sun Moon Tribe and become famous through the galaxy.

However, the True Dragons of the Archosaur Galaxy, the Battling Sacred Apes of the Battling Galaxy and the geniuses of the True Demons Tribe were all revered geniuses.

Although he had not any of these extraordinary beast tribes and did not know their true strength, he had long heard of their extraordinary powers and hence he was slightly nervous of facing them.

A few moments later, Leng Xie threw aside these thoughts and slowly closed his eyes as he prepared to continue his cultivation.

….

Su Mo strode into the Martial Hall and found the place empty except for a 10 foot long stone table that stood in the middle of the hall.

A middle-aged man sat behind the stone table and had his eyes closed.

This middle-aged man wore a purple robe and he had a chubby face and large ears, showing his riches.

“Senior, I would like to get a martial skill!”

Seeing that the hall was empty, Su Mo walked towards the middle-aged man and cupped his fists as he requested.

“You are Su Mo?” The middle-aged man opened his eyes and surveyed Su Mo as he asked in a low tone.

“Yes, senior!” Su Mo nodded his head.

“What rank of martial skill would you like?” The rich middle-aged man asked.

“A Middle Sacred Class skill!” Su Mo replied earnestly.

“You don’t have to pay for martial skills that are lower than the Sacred Class rank. But you must pay Spiritual Crystals for martial skills in the Sacred Class rank!”

The middle-aged man said. He wasn’t too surprised that Su Mo would request for a Middle Sacred Class skill at his cultivation rank.

“Senior, how much will a Middle Sacred Class skill cost?” Su Mo asked.

“500,000 Upper Spiritual Crystals!” The rich-looking middle-aged man answered.

“Alright!” Su Mo immediately agreed. Although this sum appeared high, it was considered very low in the free market already. This must be a benefit for the disciples of the True Path Sect.

Otherwise, typical Middle Sacred Class martial skills would cost much higher than 500,000 Upper Spiritual Crystals!”

The man nodded his head before he waved his arm for 6 jade bangles to appear on the stone table.

Arranged neatly on the stone table, these 6 jade bangles had corresponding names of the martial skills they carried.

“You can choose one among these 6 Middle Sacred Skills!” The man instructed.

Su Mo nodded his head before he took a glance over and studied the names of the 6 martial skills.

“Nine Cloud Spiritual Technique!”

“Firmament Sacred Fire Skill!”

“Thunder Clouds Sacred Skill!”

“…”

Su Mo skimmed through the 6 martial skills before he swiftly took the jade bangle that contained the Firmament Sacred Fire Skill.

With a simple mental thought in the jade bangle, a slight hint of a smile played at Su Mo’s lips. The martial skill was a pure fire-based martial skill.

“Senior, I will take this Firmament Sacred Fire Skill!” Su Mo said.

“Mm, then record it! This martial skill cannot be released externally to the public or you will be severely punished!” The middle-aged man warned.

“Understood!” Su Mo nodded his head before he took out an empty jade bangle and recorded the contents of the Firmament Sacred Fire Skill in it.

With that, he handed over 500,000 Upper Spiritual Crystals to the man and left Martial Hall.

Once Su Mo had returned to his own manor, he began to train in seclusion.

Time was tight and he could not waste it.

Inside the cultivation room, Su Mo retrieved the jade bangle that had the Firmament Sacred Fire Skill in it and began to comprehend it thoroughly.

The Firmament Sacred Fire Skill, as a Middle Sacred Skill, was much stronger than his previous Middle Imperial Skill.

For martial skills, the difference of one rank was immense. Not to mention Middle Imperial and a Middle Sacred Class skill difference in rank, the two were virtually heaven and earth.

There were 5 ranks to the Firmament Sacred Fire Skill that were very mysterious. Su Mo was clueless as to how long he would need to master the skill to the fifth rank.

However for Su Mo, he didn’t need to have skill mastery of the fifth rank for the Firmament Sacred Fire Skill. A first-rank mastery was enough for him.

Even at the first rank, a Sacred Class Skill would be much stronger than a Middle Imperial Skill that had been completely mastered.

Su Mo had been training the 5 Middle Imperial Skills of the 5 elements for a few years now, and they were all at the third rank of mastery and far from being completely mastered.

Using 3 hours, Su Mo memorized the important points of the fire skill and began to train them.

The fire based Divine Elixir in his body vibrated slightly and thick, fire-based Dark Force circulated through his meridians as Su Mo shut his eyes and absorbed himself in cultivation.
