Warrior's Promise
chapter-292

Upon hearing Immortal Wande's words, Su Mo was speechless.

After three years? By then he needed to be on the Central Continent, instead of fighting for the List of Top 100 Talents in Hong Domain.

Su Mo thought briefly and then cupped his hands to Immortal Wande and asked, "Senior Immortal Wande, with my current cultivation, is it possible for me to rank among the list?"

Su Mo thought that Immortal Wande was exaggerating. He's been to Wuning Country and met martial artists of the List of Top 100 Talents, such as Xin Wuming and Feng Xiu. They were very powerful, but compared with them, Su Mo might now be a bit stronger.

"It's hard to say." Immortal Wande nodded and said, "Because there are too many talents in recent years, and those upon the list have made rapid progress."

"For example, the talent ranked 62th on the list was killed by someone unknown last year, in only one move!"

"Another example is that, three months ago in the Ancient-treasure City of the Great Hong Empire, Prince of Flaming Cloud, ranked 4th, killed three martial artists of the Lv 7 True Spirit Realm, with one hack!"

Immortal Wande patiently explained to everyone.

Hiss!

Everyone gasped. How terrifying was he to be able to kill three martial artists of Lv 7 True Spirit Realm with only one hack?

Everyone was speechless and thought that it was unbelievable. However, with Immortal Wande's status, it's impossible for him to lie and he had no reason to do so either.

Besides, some experts had been to North of Yan River in Hong Domain and heard about it.

Looking at the silent crowd, Immortal Wande smiled and said, "Okay. Now you know what you will be faced with."

Then Immortal Wande stood up. He watched those elders of the Sky Rapier Sect and said, "Thanks for your hospitality. I can't stay longer!"

Without waiting for their reply, Immortal Wande flew directly into the sky and soon disappeared into the horizon.

Then the First Elder looked at disciples of Gale Island and said loudly, "Let's go back!"

The First Elder expressed thanks to the elders of the Sky Rapier Sect.

The disciples then rushed into the sky and they left for Gale Island.

After this competition, all the sects left. Su Mo's name would reach every corner of the Skymoon Country.

Su Mo actually defeated Jin Yang, one of the Four Talents of Skymoon Country!

This meant Su Mo had already caught up with the Four Talents of Skymoon Country, or he was perhaps even stronger than them!

On his way back to Gale Island, Su Mo was thinking about what Immortal Wande had said. Could those talents with higher rankings truly be so powerful as to kill three experts of the Lv 7 True Spirit Realm?

If this was true, his current strength might be a joke in front of those talents.

"Before the Top-100-talent Competition, I have to improve my cultivation and to master Infinite Sword Art," Su Mo said to himself.

It would not difficult for Su Mo to improve his cultivation, because he still had plenty of Spiritual Stones. He would be able to break the bottleneck of realms as soon as his genuine vitality was well refined.

Though it would be difficult to cultivate Infinite Sword Art, Su Mo was confident that with his comprehension, he would reach the Great Completion Realm within two months.

When he was back at Gale Island, Su Mo concentrated his whole energy on cultivating.

In the meanwhile, the news that Su Mo had easily defeated Jin Yang at Sky Rapier Sect and nearly killed him quickly spread in Gale Island.

Once again, Su Mo rocketed to fame. All the disciples were talking about who would be the first core disciple and the future owner of Gale Island? Su Mo or Duan Jingtian?

However, Duan Jingtian and the members of the Sky Alliance stayed silent, choosing to forego maintaining a high-profile.

Thick fog was rolling above the mountain peak.

Bearing his spirit-slayer sword, Su Mo was standing steadfastly and quietly.

A cold breeze passed and his long hair was flying. Suddenly, Su Mo drew his sword out of the sheath. The sharp sword radiance slashed the air and the sword Qi rushed into the fog.

Slash!

The sword Qi flashed away and a great imprint of 1,000 meters long cut the fog into halves.

The cut was neat and smooth, as if the fog was like tofu.

After a while, Su Mo sheathed his sword and sighed to himself.

"Infinite Sword Art is a bit difficult. It took me five days to cross the threshold." Su Mo muttered.

The swordsmanship he demonstrated was the post-archean martial skill of Medium Lv 3, Infinite Sword Art.

There were only three moves: Infinite Universe, Infinite Supremacy, and Infinite Heaven and Earth.

In the past five days, Su Mo cultivated Infinite Sword Art in the day time and refined his genuine vitality at night.

After five days of hard work, he finally crossed the threshold.

But it's already close to the Great Completion of Divine Wind Swordplay.

It was at this moment that Su Mo realized how a powerful martial art technique would improve one's combat strength.

After a brief thought, Su Mo decided to leave Gale Island to train himself. Only this way could his strength be better improved.

One couldn't refine genuine vitality or achieve breakthroughs overnight. He could devour spiritual stones to break the bottleneck at the right time, so it would make no difference for Su Mo to leave or stay.

But the progress was too slow for him to cultivate Infinite Sword Art merely by simple practice.

Staying here, Su Mo would need at least over two months to reach the Great Completion.

It would be faster if he trained his swordsmanship by himself outside.

But before that, Su Mo would like to bring his Martial Soul to a higher level. It had been at Earth Class for a long time.

However, Devouring Martial Spirit of Earth Class would need many more Beast Souls or Martial Souls for a higher level. Su Mo wasn't sure if there were enough for him on Gale Island.

Su Mo came to Purple Gold Hall and asked about Beast Souls. The best one here was of Class 7 Lv 3, and there was only one left.

Beast Souls of Class 6 or 5 Lv 3 were scarce too. Su Mo had no choice but to wait until he left.

Afterwards, Su Mo headed over to where the inner disciples were living and found Luo Qianfan.

In the yard, Su Mo took out a large golden bow and gave it to Luo Qianfan.

"Luo Qianfan, this bow is called Naturesound Divine Bow and it's a post-archean weapon of Medium Lv 3. This is my thanks for your help that time in the Imperial City," Su Mo said.

Luo Qianfan offered him a great help last time, and without the help of his uncle, Luo Ming, Su Mo could have been killed when he left Imperial City!

"A post-archean bow of Medium Lv 3?" Luo Qianfan's eyes gleamed and he caught the bow directly without being too polite.

Luo Qianfan knew Su Mo very well. It would make Su Mo uncomfortable to refuse or be polite, and he really loved the bow.

"Nice. It's perfect for you!" Su Mo laughed.

"Haha! It couldn't be more perfect!" Luo Qianfan said with great joy.

Then, Su Mo and Luo Qianfan chatted briefly before he left.

After leaving Luo Qianfan's residence, Su Mo was surprised that Luo had reached the Lv 9 Spiritual Martial Realm!

How extraordinary was Luo Qianfan's talent! It didn't take him much time to reach such a level!
