Warrior’s Promise

Hu Mei’er’s face softened after a while. Although she had lost, it was not much of humiliation as she had lost to a gifted genius.

However, Cui Yan turned ghastly pale. Wu Shan had not only won Qin Zhi’s Dawn Stones back from Mei’er, but he had caused Hu Mei’er to lose all that she had.

“Is there anyone else who wishes to take me on? The bet is not much, only 1,000,000 Higher-grade Dawn Stones!” Su Mo asked when he saw that no one had responded to him.

A cold light flashed across Cui Yan’s eyes. He had the desire to win back the Dawn Stones that Hu Mei’er had lost, but since his cultivation level was at Rank 9 Lower True God Realm, he did not want to appear to be oppressing Wu Shan.

“Let me take you on!”

A young man with a big build walked toward Su Mo and he possessed immense fighting spirit.

“My name is Lu Hong. I would like to take you on. I agree to the bet of 1,000,000 Higher-grade Dawn Stones!” The young man said.

“Sure!” Su Mo smiled and lifted his hand to beckon Lu Hong to the Holy Crystal.

Very quickly, Lu Hong and Su Mo placed their palms onto the crystal.

Everybody paid full attention to the fight as Lu Hong was an extraordinary person. He possessed great talent, and his strength was several times more powerful than that of Hu Mei’er.

Many people reckoned that Lu Hong would defeat Wu Shan but only Hu Mei’er knew that Lu Hong was bound to lose.

When she had been fighting against Wu Shan earlier, she could feel his mighty mental strength. Wu Shan’s strength had way surpassed that of his peers.

As expected, Lu Hong fared worst than Hu Mei’er. He lost in one and a half breaths, and that amazed everybody.

Once again, Su Mo won 900,000 Higher-grade Dawn Stones as the other 100,000 were given to Holy Pavilion as commission.

“Is there anyone else who wishes to take me on?” Su Mo asked as he looked around.

However, no one wanted to take him on. There were not many Rank 8 Advanced True Gods around and they had no confidence in defeating him.

“One round of Spiritual Fight for 1,000,000 Higher-grade Dawn Stones. The Rank 9 Lower True Gods are welcome to take me on!” Su Mo said.

“Brother Wu Shan, are you crazy?” Qin Zhi turned pale when he heard what Su Mo had said. Wu Shan has invited the Rank 9 True Gods to take him on! He is over-confident in himself!

Cui Yan squinted his eyes when he heard it. He could now take Wu Shan on since Wu Shan had opened the invitation to the Rank 9 True Gods.

“He is full of confidence in himself!”

“He is presumptuous! How dare he challenge the Rank 9 Lower True Gods!”

“He has won so many Dawn Stones and he should have stopped there!”

When the people saw Wu Shan challenging the Rank 9 True Gods, they were astonished. Wu Shan was putting himself to humiliation. He would have to give away all the Dawn Stones that he had won!

“Wu Shan, shall we go against each other?” Cui Yan said as he smiled.

“Sure!” Su Mo turned his head to look at Cui Yan and nodded. He would not turn down anyone who had the desire to take him on.

“However, the bet of 1,000,000 Higher-grade Dawn Stones is too little. This is not exciting!”

Cui Yan shook his head and said, “Shall we settle for 3,000,000 Higher-grade Dawn Stones?”

Cui Yan had wanted to increase the bet but he had decided on 3,000,000 Higher-grade Dawn Stones as he was worried that Wu Shan did not have that many Dawn Stones with him.

“3,000,000!”

Everybody was shocked when they heard the bet. The bet of 3,000,000 Higher-grade Dawn Stones was not a small amount!

“Sure!” Su Mo immediately nodded without thinking.

“Haha! You are brave!” Cui Yan laughed. He turned around and looked at Hu Mei’er and said, “Mei’er, I will win back the Dawn Stones for you!”

Having said that, Cui Yan walked toward the huge crystal with Su Mo following behind him.

“Brother Wu Shan, don’t force yourself!” Qin Zhi called out to Su Mo. Although there was no risk in the Spiritual Fight, it would harm the Spiritual Soul if one was not powerful enough.

Su Mo nodded and came to the crystal with Cui Yan, and both of them placed their palms on the crystal.

Within the crystal.

Roar!

Cui Yan wasted no time to attack Su Mo. His mental strength turned into a gigantic tiger and pounced toward Su Mo with a roar.

Not bad!

Su Mo said within himself. Cui Yan’s mental strength was much stronger than that of Hu Mei’er and Lu Hong.

However, he was still too far behind Su Mo as Su Mo possessed innate mighty mental strength.

Su Mo had wanted to defeat Cui Yan with a blow but he had changed his mind. If he had done so, no one would have dared to take him on thereafter.

Roar!

Su Mo’s mental strength turned into a huge lion and began fighting the tiger that was formed by Cui Yan’s mental strength.

As Su Mo had controlled his strength, the two of them had fought for more than 10 breaths and they were still on par with each other.

“Both of them are as powerful!”

“Wu Shan is indeed powerful! Although he has a low cultivation level, he possesses great mental strength!”

“No one can predict the outcome of this Spiritual Fight!”

When the people saw Su Mo and Cui Yan standing in front of the crystal, they started to whisper among themselves. After more than 10 breaths, there was no reaction from the two of them. Apparently, both of them possessed the same level of strength.

The Spiritual Fight was not a physical fight. There was nothing fanciful about it and it was simple. Basically, the outcome would be revealed in more than 10 breaths.

Since the two of them were still competing with each other after more than 10 breaths, that showed their power.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The mighty lion and the ferocious tiger continued to attack each other in the crystal and neither of them emerged as the winner.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, the ferocious tiger stepped back 30 meters and turned into a huge War Saber.

“Wu Shan, your mental strength is not that powerful after all. You shall be defeated!” Cui Yan’s voice resounded confidently from the Saber.

Having said that, the Saber cut across the sky like a meteorite and slashed hard at the mighty lion that was formed by Su Mo’s mental strength.

“I shall not waste my time on you anymore!”

The mighty lion said. Su Mo triggered his thoughts and the mighty lion turned into a sword and shot out. In an instant, it collided with the Saber.

Boom!

At the sound of an explosion, the Saber burst and disappeared out of sight.

Pfft!

Initially, Cui Yan’s face looked normal but suddenly, he started to spurt out a mouthful of blood and retreated perpetually.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

After moving back more than 10 steps, Cui Yan finally managed to come to a halt. He looked pale and his aura became weak.

“This…!”

Everyone widened his eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief. Cui Yan had been badly beaten and it was apparent that his Spiritual Soul had been severely injured.

The strength of the two of them was on par with each other a moment ago but there was a drastic change in the wink of an eye.

Even Qin Zhi and Hu Mei’er were taken aback.

“You have lost. 3,000,000 Higher-grade Dawn Stones, please!”

Su Mo said after he lifted his palms off the crystal and looked sharply at Cui Yan.

“How can this be possible…how can this be possible…!” Cui Yan muttered to himself, looking astonished. He did not know how Wu Shan had managed to enhance his mental strength within such a short period of time, and that gave him no chance to retaliate.

“Hand over the 3,000,000 Higher-grade Dawn Stones!” The middle-aged man in Holy Pavilion walked up to Cui Yan and asked him for the Dawn Stones.

Very quickly, the middle-aged man in the yellow robe took 3,000,000 Higher-grade Dawn Stones from Cui Yan and put 10 percent away before handing the rest to Su Mo.

Su Mo was exhilarated. If he were to win a few more rounds, he would have enough resources to help him cultivate until the Supreme Being Realm. The Dawn Stones in Cloud Ridge World were superior to those in the Cosmic World.

However, he would have to find a place to exchange those Dawn Stones to the Five Elements Dawn Stones as they were of a different property.

“Senior Brothers, if you are at Rank 9 Lower True God Realm, you are welcome to take me on.” Su Mo said and his voice resounded in the entire hall.

Su Mo intended to win a few more million Higher-grade Dawn Stones before he returned to cultivate in seclusion.

“Wu Shan, I didn’t expect you to be in such a good mood!”

Suddenly, an impassive voice was heard from the main gate.

Everyone turned his head and saw Reverend Jin Wu’s second disciple, Xiao Yushu, at the gate.

“How are you, Brother Xiao!”

“Brother Xiao!”

“How are you, Brother Yushu!”

The people cupped their fists at Xiao Yushu and greeted him respectfully.

As a disciple of Reverend Jin Wu, Xiao Yushu’s status was equivalent to that of an elder and no one dared to offend him.

“Hoho! It is our honor to have Brother Yushu visit our Holy Pavilion!” The middle-aged man in the yellow robe smiled and cupped his fist at Xiao Yushu. Xiao Yushu was someone whom he could not afford to offend and thus he dared not treat him lightly.

Su Mo squinted his eyes when he saw Xiao Yushu making his way into the Holy Pavilion. Back then, Xiao Yushu had sent someone to kill Su Mo, and thus he knew that Xiao Yushu was up to no good.

“Wu Shan, do you dare to take me on?” Xiao Yushu asked as he stood before Su Mo. He looked derisively at Su Mo and smiled faintly.

He was there to question Wu Shan about Shi Heng’s death and to find a way to nail him down. The Branch Elder would then convict him of his crime.

However, when Xiao Yushu saw Wu Shan behaving presumptuously, he had decided to challenge him. After all, since Wu Shan had invited those Rank 9 Lower True Gods to compete with him, Xiao Yushu was glad to tap into the opportunity as he was a Rank 9 True God.

The people were shocked when they heard what Xiao Yushu had said. Xiao Yushu was the most talented man in Palmy Branch and he had challenged Wu Shan, who was only at Rank 8 Advanced True God Realm!

“How many Dawn Stones do you intend to bet with?” Su Mo asked grimly. He was not afraid of Xiao Yushu.

“I am interested in the Dawn Stones!” Xiao Yushu shook his head.

“What do you wish to bet on?” Su Mo asked. He knew that Xiao Yushu had something up his sleeve but he was not afraid of him.

“Let’s bet on our fate and futures!” Xiao Yushu smiled and said, “The one who loses has to leave Palmy Branch and give up his discipleship!”

Xiao Yushu had wanted to bet with Wu Shan with their lives. However, it seemed inappropriate to do so as there was no feud between the two of them. Moreover, he would not be able to answer to Xuan Qing if he was the cause of Wu Shan’s death.

However, he could send someone to assassinate Wu Shan after Wu Shan had lost his discipleship.

When the people in the Holy Pavilion heard what Xiao Yushu had said, there was dead silence.

They had never expected Xiao Yushu to suggest such a bet. They believed that Wu Shan would never agree to such a bet as no one would take his future lightly!

However, to everybody’s amazement, Wu Shan nodded and agreed to it without giving it any consideration.

“Alright. I accept!”
