Su Mo’s face darkened when he heard what Lian Ting had said. He was in a hurry to leave Great Gulf City and did not want to waste time on these people!

Moreover, Su Mo had no idea who they were.

Many disciples stood far away to watch as Lian Ting and his company made things difficult for Su Mo.

“Gentlemen, I am busy. I’ve got to go!” Su Mo cupped his fist and went past them.

Whoosh!

In a flash, Lian Ting stood in front of Su Mo and blocked his way.

“Junior Brother Shangguan, so many of your Seniors and Juniors have invited you to spar with them. Do you have no respect for us?” Lian Ting asked as he squinted his eyes.

“Why should I respect you?” Su Mo shook his head and walked out.

He would not waste his time on these people who had ill-intentions.

“You…!”

When Lian Ting was rejected by Su Mo again, he became furious, and cold light shimmered in his eyes.

“You are too presumptuous!”

“Crap!”

“He’s arrogant!”

The disciples who were with Lian Ting were enraged. He is a nobody from the Lower Plane, but he is so presumptuous. This is infuriating!

Lian Ting winked at the disciples and they immediately besieged Su Mo.

“Shangguan Hao, you are too arrogant!”

Lian Ting said as he came and stood in front of Su Mo.

“What’s the matter with all of you?” Su Mo asked sharply. He was frustrated. What is their motive for finding faults with him!

“Shangguan Hao, I’ve heard that you have great talent. The Palace Master thinks highly of you and he has given you Tianjiu Palace!”

Lian Ting sneered and continued, “I am more curious about your power and I would like to challenge you!”

When Su Mo heard what Lian Ting had said, he realized that these people were envious of him.

It seemed that many people were unhappy because he had received Tianjiu Palace.

“What is your cultivation level?” Su Mo asked coldly as he looked at Lian Ting.

“Rank 2 Advanced True God Realm!” Lian Ting replied.

“Rank 2 True God Realm?”

Su Mo laughed when he heard Lian Ting’s reply. He asked mockingly, “Given your high cultivation level, do you not find it a disgrace to challenge an Empty God?”

“Of course, I will not be the one to challenge you!”

Lian Ting shook his head and said, “These few Junior Brothers wish to challenge you and they don’t have high cultivation levels!”

Lian Ting said as he pointed at the few disciples on his right. The cultivation level of the few of them was low. There was one Rank 1 True God and even a few Empty Gods.

Although many of the disciples from the Great Gulf Palace were True Gods, there were some Martial Sages and Empty Gods as well. Some had even lower cultivation levels.

After all, the Great Gulf Palace recruited disciples based on their potential and talents.

Deity Plane was rich. The Lower Plane could not be compared to it in terms of its environment and resources.

Those people who grew up in the Deity Plane could easily become Empty Gods in more than 100 years if they had talent.

The geniuses could become True Gods in 100 years.

Senior Brother Liang was a good example. He was a genius who had become a deity at 100 years old as he had extraordinary talent. He had reached Rank 3 True God Realm when he was more than 150 years old.

That was not only due to the rich supply of resources and the environment, but more importantly, it was the foundation of his physique.

The physiques of those martial artists who grew up in the Deity Plane were more than a hundredfold better than those from the Lower Plane. even though they were without the Blood Force.

However, regardless of a person’s talent, when he reached the True God Realm, his cultivation speed would slow down dramatically.

A genius who had become a True God at 100 years old might not become a Rank 9 True God within 1,000 years old. He might also be unable to become a Supreme Being within 100,000 years.

“Junior Brother Shangguan, how about showing us the Super Power from the Lower Plane?”

“Junior Brother Shangguan, I have never seen the martial arts from the Lower Plane. Please show us!”

“Come on, Junior Brother Shangguan!”

A few disciples with a lower cultivation level spoke with ill intent.

The few of them looked as though they were ready to use force on Su Mo if he did not accede to their requests.

Su Mo started to frown. These people have gone too far. Do they think that he is a pushover?

“Senior Brother, so many of them wish to spar with me. Do you expect them to take turns to take me on?” Su Mo asked as he looked coldly at Lian Ting. He was feeling frustrated.

“Hoho, of course not. How about this, if you agree to spar with them, let’s make it three rounds!” Lian Ting said with a smile.

“Alright. Where shall we do it?” Su Mo nodded. He knew that he would not be able to get away if he did not accede to their requests.

Instead of wasting time talking to them, Su Mo would rather get it over with the fight and leave.

“That’s great. Let’s go to the Sparring Ground!” Lian Ting was elated. He lifted his hand and showed Su Mo the way.

The disciples were delighted when they heard that Shangguan Hao had agreed to spar with them.

As long as Shangguan Hao agreed to spar, they would beat him like a dog and humiliate him.

Su Mo followed the direction that Lian Ting pointed to and headed for the Sparring Ground.

All the disciples headed toward the Sparring Ground as well.

“Shangguan Hao is going to spar with Lian Ting’s guys!”

“Come, let’s go and take a look!”

“This is getting interesting!”

Many of the disciples who had been watching them went to the Sparring Ground as well.

Before Su Mo and Lian Ting reached the Sparring Ground, the Sparring Ground was already filled with hundreds of disciples.

The Sparring Ground did not occupy a big area. It covered a radius of about 300 meters, with purple jade stones laid on the ground.

The purple jade stones were extraordinary and they indistinctly absorbed the energy from the area.

When powerful martial artists sparred on the piece of ground, their power would be contained within the area and absorbed by the ground.

When Su Mo and Lian Ting came to the Sparring Ground, Senior Brother Liang, who was in a silver robe, arrived at the same time.

He stood some distance away from the Sparring Ground and watched. He did not step in and had let Lian Ting and the rest of the disciples handle the matter.

Su Mo, Lian Ting, and the rest of the disciples stopped at the Sparring Ground.

Su Mo then walked to the center of the Sparring Ground. He turned around to look at Lian Ting and the rest of the disciples and said, “Let me make myself clear. I will only spar for three rounds. Those who wish to spar with me, come out now!”

“Of course, it will not go beyond three rounds!”

Lian Ting said with a smile. He then turned his head to wink at the youth in a golden robe who was standing beside him.

The youth in a golden robe had a vicious look and his eyes were sharp as a sword.

His cultivation level was not high and he was only at Rank 3 Empty God Realm, similar to Su Mo.

As the youth walked to the center of the Sparring Ground, the rest of the disciples moved away to the border.

“Shangguan Hao, my name is…!”

The youth stood opposite Su Mo and as he was introducing himself, Su Mo lifted his hand and interrupted him.

“I am not interested to know your name. Go ahead and strike!” Su Mo said flatly. As he spoke, a silver light flashed across his hand. The Taiyun Divine Sword, which Su Mo had just received, appeared in his hand.

“You…!” The youth was enraged when he heard what Su Mo had said, and a cold light flashed across his eyes.

This lowly guy from the Lower Plane is too presumptuous. He has no regard for him!

Buzz!

Light flashed across the youth’s hand and a huge Golden War Saber appeared.

Vast aura rose from the youth’s body and an overbearing saber power surged out.

The youth was summoning his power and his aura rose and became stronger.

Su Mo simply looked at the youth and did nothing. He had never seen any martial artist from the Deity Plane fight before.

This day, it would be an eye-opener for him to witness the power of the people from the Deity Plane.

“Shangguan Hao is too arrogant!”

“Show off!”

“Hoho, this is a great opportunity for us to witness the strength of a powerful martial artist from the Lower Plane!”

Many of the disciples were curious. They had never seen a martial artist from the Lower Plane and it was a great opportunity for them to witness his strength.

Since Shangguan Hao has managed to come to the Deity Plane, he must be a formidable top power in the Lower Plane. He must be a Peerless Herculean!

The youth in a golden robe was not an ordinary martial artist. He was one of the geniuses from the Great Gulf Palace.

He had only used around 70 years to reach Rank 3 Empty God Realm, and his combat strength was the most powerful among those at the same rank as him.

Shangguan Hao, Shangguan Hao, let’s see how arrogant you can be! Lian Ting curled his lips into a derisive smile as he looked at the arena.

He had sent the youth to the field as the youth had the same cultivation level as Su Mo. If he managed to defeat Su Mo, that proved that Su Mo’s talent was mediocre and he was not fit to receive Tianjiu Palace.

If he had sent someone with a higher cultivation level and he managed to defeat Su Mo, it could not prove that Su Mo did not have great talent.

Senior Brother Liang stood far away, and he looked cold and inscrutable. He had great confidence in the youth.

Further away from the Sparring Ground was a tower. A figure was standing at the window on the highest level of the tower.

He was none other than the Palace Master of the Great Gulf Palace.

“We should be able to find out soon if he is a Peerless Herculean!” The Palace Master muttered to himself.

He knew that Su Mo was profound and he was hiding his strength.

After all, as the Palace Master of the Great Gulf Palace, he had lived long enough to know an expert if he comeaacross one. His experience and judgment were far better than the ordinary disciples’.

First of all, no Rank 3 Empty God could come to the Deity Plane under normal circumstances.

Secondly, the Palace Master could sense from Su Mo’s mental strength, Blood Force, and the power of his Fighting Soul that he was extraordinary.

This sparring would give him the opportunity to find out Su Mo’s underlying strength.

“Shangguan Hao, take one blow from me!”

The youth shouted with a vicious look on his face. As everyone fixed their gazes on the fight in anticipation, the youth started to throw out a blow.
