Warrior's Promise
chapter-2018

“Is Dark Shadow Tribe that powerful?” When Su Mo heard what Xu Ming had said, he found it hard to believe. It seemed ridiculous that other than Sky Tyrant Clan, only a few people of the same rank could take on the geniuses from Dark Shadow Tribe.

“Dark Shadow Tribe is powerful not only because of their Natal Super Power but because they have Fighting Souls!” Xu Ming said.

“Fighting Souls?” Su Mo was shocked. Most of the Foreign Races did not possess Fighting Souls and only a handful had them.

Dark Shadow Tribe was ranked number 16 on the Ten Thousand Archean Tribe Board as they possessed Fighting Souls.

“That’s right!”

Xu Ming nodded and looked at a tall youth with long hair from Dark Shadow Tribe. He was filled with admiration for the youth as he said, “He is An Jian, the most powerful genius in Dark Shadow Tribe. He possesses the Great Rotating Sacred Sword Fighting Soul which is ranked number 14 on the Archean Martial Soul Board. He is extremely powerful and he is ranked number 18 on the King Sage Board!”

Xu Ming was filled with admiration for An Jian when he told Su Mo about him.

Wind-thunder Sect did not have a chance of winning the fight with such a powerful genius around.

“Great Rotating Sacred Sword Fighting Soul?” When Su Mo heard what Xu Ming had said, a light flashed across his eyes. He was surprised that An Jian possessed the Fighting Soul which was ranked number 14 on the Archean Martial Soul Board.

Su Mo had never seen such a powerful Fighting Soul. He had defeated many geniuses in Infinite Region but he had never seen a Fighting Soul with such high ranking. He was amazed to be able to see one when he came to the Dark Region.

He was even more astounded to learn that Dark Region had a King Sage Board as well.

An Jian was only ranked number 18 on the King Sage Board although he had such a powerful Fighting Soul. Su Mo believed that other than his Fighting Soul, An Jian must be mediocre in other aspects.

When a martial artist reached the Martial Sage Realm, he could not depend on his Fighting Soul alone to build his combat strength.

The cultivation skill, martial technique, Ultimacy, Blood Force Physique, and Fighting Souls determined the strength of a martial artist.

Even if a martial artist possessed the most powerful Fighting Soul, if other aspects were lacking, he would not be very powerful.

“That’s right! His Fighting Soul is extremely powerful and beyond what we can imagine!”

Xu Ming said with a sigh. He then looked curiously at Su Mo and asked, “An Jian is well-known in Dark Region. Have you not heard of him?”

“Of course I have. However, I have had no chance to meet him!” Su Mo smiled. He came from Infinite Region, so how could he have heard of An Jian?

“Brother Su, the fight is about to begin. This is the time for you to widen your horizon!” Xu Ming said as he looked at the field.

Su Mo lifted up his head and saw an ugly martial artist from Eight-eyes Tribe walking onto the field.

The martial artist was dressed in black and he had stubbles on his face. The eight eyes on his forehead emitted dim light and he looked frightening.

“I am Tong Chou. Is there anyone from Wind-thunder Sect who would like to take me on?”

The martial artist by the name of Tong Chou asked loudly as he looked at the disciples from Wind-thunder Sect.

Swoosh!

An air-rending sound broke out and Junior Brother Huo came out of the Wind-thunder Sect camp to take the field.

Junior Brother Huo’s name was Huo Yun. He was good-looking and charming and he was a Beginning Realm Martial Sage.

The first round of the fight was between the Beginning Realm Martial Sages.

“Huo Yun, you are no match for me. How dare you take me on again?”

When Tong Chou saw Huo Yun taking the field, he looked at him with disdain.

The fight was held half-yearly and it was not the first time Tong Chou and Huo Yun took part in the fight.

One year ago, Tong Chou had fought with Huo Yun and he had defeated him.

“I was no match for you previously, but it doesn’t mean that I am no match for you now!” Huo Yun said, looking confident.

“Well, I shall let you have a taste of defeat again!”

Tong Chou sneered. The aura in his body rose and caused the space around him to crack.

Huo Yun showed his power as well. The sword radiance flashed in his hand, revealing a bright silver sword and the sword power shot up to the sky.

The two of them were not in a hurry to strike. Their powerful aura clashed together continually and caused the space to burst.

“Not bad!”

Elder Jiang nodded. Huo Yun’s strength had advanced greatly in the past six months.

“Shengxiang, what do you think of the possibility of Huo Yun winning the fight?” Elder Jiang asked Senior Brother Wan.

“50-50!” Senior Brother Wan said, with his arms folded in front of his chest.

“Hmm!” Elder Jiang nodded as he shared the same sentiment.

“Junior Brother Huo will not disappoint us!”

“Junior Brother Huo will definitely win!”

“I have confidence in Junior Brother Huo!”

Many disciples from Wind-thunder Sect commented, showing their confidence in Huo Yun.

“Huo Yun will lose!”

At that moment, someone spoke up and everyone was surprised by his comments.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Everyone turned his head and looked at Su Mo as he was the one who had made that comment.

Su Mo was speechless. What he had said was true but it had caused everyone to become unhappy.

“Su Mo, what makes you think that Huo Yun will lose the fight?” Elder Jiang asked and his face darkened. What Su Mo had said would affect the disciples’ morale.

“I feel that his aura is not strong enough!” Su Mo replied with a smile. He had his basis for commenting that Huo Yun would be defeated.

Su Mo possessed strong mental strength and sharp senses. He could sense great power gathering speedily in Tong Chou’s eight eyes.

The power was mighty and Huo Yun would not be able to fend it off.

Su Mo saw that Tong Chou was powerful but he did not want to tell Elder Jiang.

Elder Jiang was unhappy with what Su Mo had said. He felt that Su Mo was spouting nonsense. He could not tell that Huo Yun’s aura was weak so it was impossible for Su Mo to sense it!

“Given your cultivation level, how dare you talk nonsense! You should know where you stand!” Senior Brother Wan shouted and a cold light flashed across his eyes.

“Junior Brother Su Mo, please watch what you say!”

Senior Sister Lin shook her head and smiled wryly. This new Junior Brother is weird. His cultivation level is low but he behaves as though he knows everything.

Before this, he wanted to take part in the fight. Now, he comments about the outcome of the fight!

“Let’s wait for the outcome then!” Su Mo shook his head. He did not want to argue with them as they were about to start the fight.

Huo Yun was the first to strike. He slashed out with his sword toward Tong Chou.

The power of the blow was great. The powerful Sword Qi cut across the horizon and carried with it strong killing intent as it moved toward Tong Chou to attack him.

Huo Yun did not hold back. He had used all his might the moment he struck.

His Fighting Soul was a sword and it was imposing. Purple light exuded from his body as the Blood Force surged in his body.

When Su Mo saw it, his gaze froze. Huo Yun’s Fighting Soul was not outstanding but his Blood Force was powerful. He had a mighty Blood Force Physique.

Tong Chou sneered when he saw the blow that had been thrown out by Huo Yun and he threw out a punch.

His Fist Force was as powerful as a mountain and mighty like the ocean. He immediately smashed up Huo Yun’s Sword Qi with his power.

After that, Tong Chou activated his Natal Super Power. Eight white rays shot out from his eight eyes and cut across the sky like arrows toward Huo Yun.

His eyes were similar to the Blood Pupil Clan’s Blood Force Pupil Technique, or even more powerful.

Under the attacks of the eight eyes, Huo Yun could only do his best to protect himself and he was unable to counterattack.

The attacks from Tong Chou’s eight eyes were like torrential rain and they kept coming down on Huo Yun.

The white rays were like arrows which were powerful and sharp. They kept shooting across the sky.

Huo Yun was powerful but he was unable to defend for long. After a while, he was hit by the white rays and he flew backward, leaving traces of blood along the way.

The fight between the two ended quickly with Huo Yun being defeated.

“This…!”

Everyone from Wind-thunder Sect was shocked. Tong Chou’s strength had increased tremendously and he had defeated Huo Yun effortlessly.
