Warrior's Promise
chapter-542

The Fire and Wood property, Vital Spirits, appeared again on Su Mo's fingers and mingled together.

Su Mo did not try to force them to merge together, as he had last time, but instead decided to approach it from a different angle.

With fire as a base and wood as a support, he wrapped the Wood property Vital Spirit around the Fire property Vital Spirit. He then used wood to fan the fire, increasing the might of the Fire property Vital Spirit.

This method proved effective. As the Fire property Vital Spirit grew stronger, the Wood property Vital Spirit gradually fused together with it.

As Su Mo realized he had managed to figure it out, he became very excited.

Time trickled by, as the two different Vital Spirits slowly fused together, their distinct red and teal colors slowly turned purple.

Bang!

Not long after the first, there was another explosion. He had failed yet again.

Despite his failure, Su Mo's eyes glittered. He had finally figured out what worked. If he continued working on the method, he would definitely succeed!

After some thought, Su Mo began the merging process again.

This time, he was even more careful. After two whole hours, he finally managed to fuse the two properties together.

The Red Fire property Vital Spirit and Teal Wood property Vital Spirit became a Purple Vital Spirit.

This Purple Vital Spirit gave off a destructive and powerful aura that made Su Mo's hairs stand on end.

However, this attempt proved to be very unstable. The Purple Vital Spirit quickly started to vibrate violently and then exploded.

Luckily, Su Mo only controlled a tiny amount of Vital Spirit and wasn't harmed by the explosion.

His eyes beamed with excitement, for he had finally succeeded. Although the results were still very volatile, with time, he would definitely be able to stabilize it.

Over the next two days, he tried hundreds of times. Each time, he would successfully fuse the Vital Spirits and each time they would explode.

Although he could fuse them successfully, he could not completely stabilize the terrifying Purple Vital Spirit.

However, he was able to fuse them for longer periods with each attempt. At the start, the Vital Spirit exploded after a few seconds, but eventually it remained fixed for a full hour.

"An hour is long enough!" Su Mo was growing impatient. He did not have time to fully stabilize the Purple Vital Spirit. After all, the Martial Arts Competition of Nine Peaks would begin in two short days.

His strength would definitely increase significantly if he used the Purple Vital Spirit in battle.

Currently, it was impossible to merge the Five Elements into Chaotic Force. The Purple Vital Spirit was Su Mo's only hope.

After a while, Su Mo took a deep breath and began merging all the Wood and Fire property Vital Spirit within his nine Spiritual Spirals.

Su Mo cleared his mind of all distractions and proceeded with extreme caution. If the Vital Spirit exploded after merging, not only would his Spiritual Spirals be shattered, his entire body would be blasted to pieces.

He focused his mind on his body and delved deep into his nine Spiritual Spirals, which contained the Gold, Teal, Blue, Red, and Gray Vital Spirits.

Su Mo concentrated on the five-colored Vital Spirits surging in his Spiritual Spirals and separated out the Teal Wood property Vital Spirit and Red Fire property Vital Spirit.

Then, under Su Mo's control, both the Wood and Fire property Vital Spirit began to merge together completely.

Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. This was the most dangerous part of the process. One wrong move could result in him being blown to pieces.

Su Mo took his time. He worked slowly and with utmost care to control the merging process. After 15 minutes, the Vital Spirits had fused halfway.

The modest progress he made gave him the hope he needed to move forward. He continued the process.

Finally, after another 15 minutes, the two Vital Spirits fully fused together. They formed into a terrifying purple aura.

The intensity of the aura emitted by the Purple Vital Spirit was far more formidable than that of the other three Vital Spirits combined.

"Amazing!" Su Mo exclaimed. He continued to carefully observe the changes in his Purple Vital Spirit.

After an hour, he began to feel the aura growing unstable, which meant it was about to explode. He immediately separated the two properties.

Once again, the terrifying Purple Vital Spirit returned to teal and red.

After some rest, Su Mo fused the two properties, separated them, and then fused them again.

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

The repeated practice made Su Mo much more adept at fusing these two Vital Spirits.

Each time, the Purple Vital Spirit would only exist for about an hour, but Su Mo found that the merging process was becoming much easier.

Finally, he could fuse the Vital Spirits with just one thought within only a few seconds.

Five days later, the Martial Arts Competition of Nine Peaks was about to commence.

Su Mo left his building just after sunrise and came to Towering Sky Peak's square.

Already gathered at the square were, Second Senior Sister, An Nuan; Seventh Senior Sister, Hua Suiyu; Eighth Senior Brother, Feng Shaoyu; Ninth Senior Brother, Yun Fei, and Tenth Senior Brother, Tian Chen.

"Eleventh Junior Brother, everyone's been waiting for you!" Tian Chen said with a smile. Although he and Yun Fei were not competing, he still wanted to watch this spectacle.

"Haha! Sorry to keep you all waiting!" Su Mo chuckled and saluted them.

"No worries!" They shook their heads.

"Eleventh Junior Brother, Seventh Junior Sister, Eighth Junior Brother, you need to try hard in this competition, remember; do not let your guard down!"

An Nuan glanced at them and then fixed her gaze on Hua Suiyu. "Seventh Junior Sister, you have the highest cultivation, so we're counting on you!"

Towering Sky Peak had only sent three contestants to this martial arts competition. Hua Suiyu was the favorite. Su Mo and Feng Shaoyu were more or less backup. Most of their expectations rested on Hua Suiyu's shoulders.

An Nuan knew that Su Mo's combat strength was powerful, but his cultivation strength was too low.

His ranked amongst the top of the Outer Disciples, in terms of overall strength, but he still could not compare to the talented geniuses of the Lv 9 Enlightenment Realm.

Hua Suiyu nodded confidently, "Don't worry, Second Senior Sister. It'll be hard for any of the Outer Disciples to beat me."

"Alright!" An Nuan nodded.

Su Mo noted Hua Suiyu's confident expression and tried to guess how strong she was. He had never seen her in battle.

Towering Sky Peak only accepted talented geniuses, she had to be extremely powerful.

"Alright, we're running late. Let's head to Great Heaven Peak," An Nuan said. The group flew up toward Great Heaven Peak.
