“Elder Xuan Tian, that man is from the Human Palace right?”

The elder of Demon Palace stared at Su Mo as he asked Elder Xuan Tian.

The elder of Demon Palace was Elder Sun, a tall elder who had entirely white hair and two dark circles for eyes.

“Mm!” Elder Xuan Tian nodded.

“The talent of his physical body is so high. He must have an absolutely strong Blood Force however, his Primordial Spirit talent is sub par!”

Elder Sun commented.

“Hehe, it is not bad!” Elder Xuan Tian laughed without elaborating.

He had to see how strong Duan Jingtian was from the sparring later. The Heaven, Earth and Human rounds only provided an estimation.

He had specially come this time to see the potential of Duan Jingtian.

Su Mo lowered himself onto the ground wearing a calm expression, although he now became the focal point of the scene.

In an instant, no one passed through the Earth Gate as many people started to survey Su Mo.

“Young lad, what Blood Force do you have?” Tian Chenshan asked in a loud voice as he walked towards Su Mo.

Many people turned towards Su Mo, waiting for his answer.

“I can’t tell you!” Su Mo lightly replied. This was a truthful reply and he could not tell Tian Chenshan that he possessed numerous Blood Forces.

At that point, he was still pondering over what had happened at the Earth Gate.

When he passed through the Earth Gate, the Evil Spirits that entered his body not only triggered his Blood Force, it almost activated his Chaotic Immortal Body.

Thankfully, the Chaotic Force in his body was split and the Chaotic Immortal Body’s

power was lowered.

In addition, the Blood Force of his body was so strong, it instantly destroyed the Evil Spirit so that there was no need for the Chaotic Immortal Body.

If he had used the Chaotic Immortal Body, that Evil Spirit might not even have been able to enter his body.

“Can’t tell me?”

Tian Chenshan’s face immediately darkened at Su Mo’s reply. The brat in front of him was rude!

“Very well, I hope that you can make your way past the third round!” Tian Chenshan snickered.

He did not interrogate Su Mo because Su Mo had a low cultivation rank. Despite how strong Su Mo’s Blood Force was, he would not be a threat to Tian Chenshan.

Yet, Su Mo’s lack of a concrete reply disappointed many.

A curious look crossed Ji Yuesong’s eyes. He was also wondering what Su Mo’s Blood Force was but he didn’t answer.

“Another half a breath of time!”

“Who is that?”

“He is a person of Heavenly Palace!”

Right at that moment, another shout filled the air. Another person used half a breath of time to pass the Earth Gate.

This man was tall and skinny and had a hard face.

However, many people knew that this man was a Heavenly Palace man as he had only used a breath of time to cross the first gate.

Instantly, the focus of the scene shifted from Su Mo to the man.

Su Mo’s eyes also narrowed as he found the person that he felt a familiar sense of being so strong!

Many Heavenly Palace people were also shocked and it was evident that they had not expected the man to be so strong.

However, the tall and skinny young man maintained a cold expression and he did not talk to others. After passing through the gate, he lowered himself to the ground and stood alone.

Tian Chenshan glanced at the skinny young man as a light flash of light crossed his eyes.

This was another man from the Lower Plane who his big brother Tian Chenyu brought to the court.

He had exceptional talents and even Tian Chenshan admired the man.

With two people in a row crossing the gate in under a breath, many people were astonished.

Many people started to take note of Su Mo and the tall skinny man.

A few moments later, those who didn’t manage to pass the round took their leave.

Zhu Yan, Luo Yun, Qin’er managed to pass the gate. However, the time they took was all above one and a half breaths of time, the average of everyone.

Among the three, Qin’er’s talents were higher.

“Duan Jingtian, I just knew that you were talented!”

Qin’er stood in front of Su Mo and said. No wonder her father tested Su Mo, he had his reasons for doing so.

Su Mo smiled warmly before he stared at Zhu Yan and smirked, “in your face.”

“You…!” Zhu Yan’s face darkened. He had mocked Su Mo for his talents previously but Su Mo’s display was a slap to his face.

“Duan Jingtian, the talents of your physical body are nothing! Don’t you dare be proud!” Luo Yun coldly uttered.

She couldn’t help scolding Su Mo for his pride.

“Luo Yun, didn’t you say before that the three gates best represented a person’s talents?” Su Mo smirked.

Su Mo knew that Luo Yun and Zhu Yan were the same crowd. They didn’t like him and would seek every opportunity to step on him.

“I did!”

Luo Yun’s face turned cold and she nodded her head. Thereafter, she continued, “However, the third gate is no simple gate. Your physical body might be talented but that is it!”

“Duan Jingtian, your Blood Force must be a defensive type such that you are able to pass through the gate so easily!” Zhu Yan’s face blackened.

“You can say so!” Su Mo lightly replied.

“It is just defense. You don’t have to be so happy!” Zhu Yan smirked.

Su Mo was at a loss for words and he shook his head inwardly. Was he happy? Since when?

With a sigh, Su Mo ignored Zhu Yan and Luo Yun

Very quickly, the Earth Gate Round ended.

This time, a large number of people had been eliminated. A majority were not able to pass the round.

Among the six palaces, only two hundred people had managed to pass the Second Gate.

The third round began immediately after the second round ended.

A soft hue of light emitted from the green jade door of the city once again.

This white light surrounded the crowd and formed a door frame.

It was another ten thousand foot tall door frame. This time, the Human Gate appeared ordinary and it was nothing special.

A mysterious and dark aura dissipated from the door frame like heavenly light that was soothing and calming.

Shoosh shoosh shoosh!

This time, people did not let Tian Chenshan take the lead and many people rushed forward towards the door.

The Human Gate tested on the strength of a martial artist’s Rules.

Su Mo was rather worried for this round. After all, although his Devouring Rules were special, it was at a low rank.

After so many years, the Devouring Rules were still at the Middle Realm of Rank 1.

This wasn’t because his comprehension was slow but because he didn’t have the time.

Ji Yuesong, Zhu Yan, Luo Yun, Qin’er, Tian Chenshan, Gui Sheng and many others dashed towards the Human Gate.

Once they passed the last round, they would be able to enter Reincarnation Ancient City and hence they were anxious.

Shoosh shoosh shoosh!

One by one, the geniuses rushed through the Human Gate.

Tian Chenshan, Ji Yuesong and other top talents managed to pass through the gate in a breath, an evidence of their power.

Zhu Yan, Luo Yun and others used about two breaths of time.

On the other hand, the young man did not display any exceptional talent and he used close to one and a half breaths of time to pass the gate.

Looking at everyone rushing through the gate, Su Mo’s body flashed and he flew towards it as well.

Instantly, a strange force enveloped his body, and it felt like he had smashed against a wall.

This time however, the mysterious force and not an Evil Spirit entered his body.

Su Mo gave a mental thought and used the Devouring Rules to combat this strange force.

This force was not destroyed by anything other than the energy of Rules.

Su Mo’s Devouring Rules interlaced with the strange force and tried to destroy it.

One breath!

Two breaths!

Three breaths!

Very quickly, three breaths of time passed by and Su Mo was still not able to pass the Human Gate.

By then, Su Mo was the only one left in the Human Gate.

Everyone else had passed the gate, some were rejected by it and were thrown out.

Not many people passed the round with only a hundred people accepted.

“He is not able to pass the Human Gate Round?”

“It has been three breaths of time!”

“His physical body is so strong but his Rules are terrible!”

Many people were shocked that Su Mo was struggling to pass the Human Gate Round.

Su Mo’s speed of passing this round was in stark contrast to the previous round.
