Warrior's Promise
chapter-609

Hearing Sikong Yan's command, Su Mo stared right back at him calmly.

Then, he said coldly, "Unfortunately, I never apologize to or repay people."

Sikong Yan's eyes flashed sharply.

"Alright, then it seems you're going to attack me."

Sikong Yan smiled coldly, and countless fire snakes appeared on his body, causing the air temperature around him to spike.

The terrifying temperatures distorted the air, and the ground melted into rolling waves.

Everyone around them was shocked and hurriedly fell back.

The heat waves emanating from Sikong Yan rolled crazily towards Su Mo.

Although the waves were shapeless, they were hot enough to melt metal.

Su Mo frowned and activated his Spiritual Spirals, causing his five-colored Dark Force to surge into an air shield to protect him against the heat waves.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

The heat waves swept over the air shield and distorted it, making hissing sounds and giving off large amounts of white steam.

"What powerful fire property!" Su Mo could not help but wonder. His five-colored Dark Force could barely withstand these heat waves.

"I see you're so arrogant because you've reached True Darkness Realm!" Sikong Yan said disdainfully.

Lv 1 True Darkness Realm was nothing compared to his cultivation.

Then, Sikong Yan held surging crimson Dark Force in his palm and prepared to defeat Su Mo.

Su Mo also did not give up, and the five-colored Dark Force in his body instantly turned into four-colored Dark Force, surging in his meridians.

The battle was about to begin!

Everyone was looking forward to Sikong Yan's and Su Mo's fight.

However, no one was rooting for Su Mo. Although he was a demonic genius as well, the difference between the two men's cultivations were too big.

Su Mo's ability to fight above his cultivation level was unparalleled, but he could not make up for such a large cultivation difference.

Nie Yu smiled coldly. Su Mo was definitely no match for Sikong Yan, who was at Lv 7 True Darkness Realm and could easily defeat a Lv 9 True Darkness Realm martial artist.

On the other hand, although Su Mo was at Lv 1 True Darkness Realm, no matter how powerful he was, he could not beat someone 6 levels higher.

Nie Yu was already prepared to make Su Mo miserable after Sikong Yan defeated him.

Ming Yu frowned slightly and watched silently.

Just as Sikong Yan and Su Mo were about to fight, the gate of the Craft Tower suddenly opened with a creak.

Around a dozen people walked out of the tower. Leading the group was a Horse-faced Elder, and the others were all middle-aged or young men.

All these men wore the same symbol on their chest pockets: a crafting furnace the size of a fingernail.

Sky-sea Pavilion's craftsmen all wore the symbol of a golden crafting furnace and had clear indications of rank.

The number of furnaces on one's clothes reflected the rank of the cratsman, and the number of silver lines under the furnaces reflected the value of their work.

One silver line represented Lower Grade, two represented Medium Grade, and three represented Upper Grade.

If one had four golden crafting furnaces, each with two silver lines under them, this meant that one was a Medium Lv 4 craftsman.

When everyone saw the Horse-faced Elder's symbols, they were all shocked.

His clothes were stitched with six furnaces with three silver lines under them.

He was an Upper Lv 6 craftsman!

Everyone was stunned. This plain-looking elder was actually a King Upper Grade craftsman!

King Upper Grade craftsmen could forge King Upper Grade weapons. Their status was at the pinnacle of East Continent.

Even Martial Emperor experts could not underestimate an Upper Lv 6 craftsman.

All the men behind the Horse-faced Elder were ranked from Lower Lv 5 to Upper Lv 5.

The Horse-faced Elder led the craftsmen out of the Craft Tower, looked around, and said loudly, "All craftsmen participating in the Craftsmanship Contest can enter the tower with me, and the others should follow behind."

Then, he swiftly turned around and returned to the tower.

All the participating craftsmen followed behind and flooded into the tower.

Sikong Yan glanced at Su Mo and said, "We'll finish this after the competition. I hope you won't run away!"

Then, he turned to walk into the tower.

He was not worried that Su Mo would run away. As a demonic genius, the crazily arrogant Su Mo was definitely too proud to run away!

Su Mo chuckled coldly and entered the tower as well.

Nie Yu's face flashed with disappointment, but luckily, Su Mo was still here.

Su Mo followed the crowd into the Craft Tower and saw that it was extremely spacious with a radius of thousands of meters.

The first level of the tower was an arena surrounded by rings of spectators stands. There were at least hundreds of layers of rings, enough to hold hundreds of thousands.

At the center of the spectator stands was a very spacious field, filled with hundreds of crafting furnaces.

These furnaces were all exactly identical.

There were at least 6000 people participating in this competition, most of them Lv 5 craftsmen, with a few Lv 4 craftsmen.

Sky-sea Pavilion's Craftsmanship Contest was usually for Lv 5 Craftsmen and did not honor anyone lower than Lv 5.

On the other hand, there were too few Lv 6 craftsmen, and they did not need to participate in the competition to join Sky-sea Pavilion.

All the participating craftsmen followed the Horse-faced Elder to the center of the field.

Then, the elder sat down in the designated seats for the judges.

Soon, people outside had entered the tower.

However, the space was limited in the tower, so most lower level martial artists were not allowed in. only a few True Darkness Realm and Martial King Realm experts were allowed in.

Even so, the spectators stand were overwhelmed, and many people had to stand below them.

The Craft Tower doors were closed again, and the dozen of Sky-sea Pavilion craftsmen entered the tower to sit in the judges' seats.

After a while, a thin middle-aged craftsman stood up and announced, "Welcome to Sky-sea Pavilion's Craftsmanship Contest. This year's contest is the same as the past years'. Those in the top ten will become honored craftsmen in Sky-sea Pavilion.
