Warrior's Promise

Chapter 360 - For the Strong to Obtain?

Translator: Transn  Editor: Transn

"Devour!" Su Mo shouted angrily as he activated his Martial Soul. This was the first time he activated his Devouring Martial Soul in front of others.

Su Mo threw caution to the wind as this was a critical moment.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The Devouring Martial Spirit loomed behind him and let loose a terrifying devouring power.

Fang Qingyun, Li Hai, and those who were not injured only noticed the slightest disorder in the flow of their Genuine Vitality and Qi blood, and quickly quelled this disturbance.

For the wounded Hu Yuanlong, however, his blood spurted out like a dam burst.

"Ah!"

Hu Yuanlong let out a blood-curdling scream, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not staunch the flow of blood.

In the span of three breaths, just three breaths!

All the blood was sucked out of Hu Yuanlong. He soon became a mummy and fell straight to the ground.

All his blood essence, Genuine Vitality, and Martial Soul had been devoured by Su Mo.

As a Lv 8 True Spirit Realm martial artist, Hu Yuanlong's Qi of blood essence and Genuine Vitality were boundless and gushed like a river after being devoured by Su Mo.

"Elephant's Strength Skill!"

Su Mo immediately activated his Elephant's Strength Skill, and the outlines of wild elephants continuously appeared on his body as his body's strength rapidly soared.

It was also worth noting that Hu Yuanlong's Martial Soul was Rank 7 Earth Class and was on par with Ao Wushuang's Martial Soul.

Althought they were of the same rank, one hailed from a large domain while the other hailed from a small domain and so there was a vast difference in their strength.

After devouring Hu Yuanlong's Martial Soul, the Devouring Martial Soul rumbled violently and moved up a rank.

"Rank 5 Earth Class Martial Soul!"

Su Mo was stunned as he didn't expect his Martial Soul to choose this time of all times to move up a rank. With that, the secret of his Devouring Martial Soul had been revealed to all!

He didn't have the time to dwell too much on that and instead concentrated his efforts on refining the Blood Qi and Genuine Vitality he had devoured.

Fang Qingyun, Jiang Xian, Li Hai, and even Yuwen Jun were all dumbstruck and stared mutely at Su Mo.

Yuwen Jun had completely forgotten to attack.

The quartet was utterly stunned. They were able to accept that a Martial Soul could suck blood. It was an extremely rare ability but still possible since all kinds of strange and rare Martial Souls could possibly exist in a universe as large as theirs .

However, they had never heard of a Martial Soul that had the ability to level up.

The rank each Martial Soul takes determines the innate talent of an individual to a large extent. If a Martial Soul could level up, the consequences would be unimaginable!

They were shocked to their core, and a storm raged inside them.

"Ah!"

They only came back to their senses when Jiang Xian screamed after being slashed by a large blade of wind.

"A Martial Soul that is able to devour blood?"

"His Martial Soul leveled up? How is this even possible?"

"What kind of Martial Soul could this be?"

They all yelled as if they had just seen a ghost.

They were considered the cream of the crop when it came to talent and usually remained indifferent to everything, but in this moment, they were all astonished.

Since Su Mo had not recalled his Martial Soul, blood suddenly gushed out from the injured Jiang Xian, and his plight was no different from Hu Yuanlong's earlier.

"Oh no!" Jiang Xian turned pale with shock and instinctually retreated hastily. He ignored the winds that continued to slash at him and stumbled a few hundred meters away from Su Mo.

After moving back a few hundred meters, Jiang Xian's blood no longer gushed out from him, but his entire appearance had changed.

In just a couple seconds, Jiang Xian's meridians and bones shrank, and his appearance resembled a skeleton.

"What..."

Fang Qingyun and the others were speechless.

Su Mo's physical strength continued to surge as a large amount of Blood Qi and Genuine Vitality were absorbed by him. He only took a few breaths to refine all the Blood Qi and Genuine Vitality, and his physical strength increased to a level even higher than that of Peak Lv 8 True Spirit Realm martial artists.

Whoosh!

In a flash, Su Mo dashed toward a cave.

This huge and dark cave, also known as the 10,000-year Grotto, was where the 10,000-year Stalactite could be found.

Su Mo moved rapidly. The surge in his physical strength had led to his defensive ability increasing by leaps and bounds, and his body remained unharmed even in the face of the sharp winds buffeting him.

In a blink of an eye, Su Mo soon approached the entrance to the 10,000-year Grotto.

Yuwen Jun's face changed as he quickly came back to his senses. His sword radiance flashed and sent a burst of sword Qi straight at Su Mo. His body's Genuine Vitality boiled as he brandished his long sword relentlessly and destroyed layer after layer of sword curtains. Upon destroying the buffeting winds, he sped toward the cave.

"Destroy!"

Su Mo's body shone brilliant gold, and his sword radiance flew like the wind and destroyed Yuwen Jun's sword Qi with one stroke.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

In a few moments, Su Mo and Yuwen Jun both dashed into the deep cave from either entrance.

In the back, Jiang Xian's face was deathly pale. His thin, gaunt countenance full of shock.

Jiang Xian chose to turn back as he had sustained serious injuries and could not longer join the fight for the 10,000-year Stalactite. It was more important that he find a place to treat his injuries as soon as possible.

He would make Su Mo pay for this.

Fang Qingyun and Li Hai both frowned at the sight of Jiang Xian leaving.

Based on the current situation, the two of them did not have the ability to challenge Su Mo or Yuwen Jun for the treasure.

"What should we do? Move forward or retreat?" Li Hai asked gravely.

"Leave if you're scared!" Fang Qingyun answered as she continued to move forward.

Although she might not be able to match Su Mo or Yuwen Jun in terms of strength, she had her way of escaping alive and did not want to give up without a fight.

Li Hai paused for thought, and then also chose to move forward. He also had a way of escaping alive.

Su Mo might have a strange Martial Soul that could suck blood, but it only seemed to work against those who were injured. As long as he remained unharmed, Su Mo's Martial Soul would have no effect on him.

Moreover, Su Mo seemed to heavily rely on the surrounding winds to increase his strength. If there was no wind, his strength would greatly reduce.

Not long after, the duo entered the 10,000-year Grotto as well.

The moment Su Mo and Yuwen Jun entered the 10,000-year Grotto, they both flew toward the deep end of the Grotto.

There were no winds within the 10,000-year Grotto, and they flew as fast as they could. They were like two sharp swords shooting toward the deep end of the grotto.

The 10,000-year Grotto was both extremely deep and wide. It resembled a large underground world, and continued to extend downwards. The duo flew dozens of miles before finally reaching the end of the grotto.

A large stone room stood at the end of the grotto with nine broad stone pillars extending from the top.

At the end of each stone pillar was a small stone pond that looked like it was carved out of white jade. Within each pond floated a tiny amount of milk-white liquid.

A misty, milk white halo formed over each pond and gave off dense Spiritual Qi.

"So this is the 10,000-year Stalactite!"

Su Mo was overjoyed as he wasn't expecting to see so many 10,000-year Stalactites.

He had assumed that there wouldn't be many 10,000-year Stalactites left given that the top talents from the List of Top 100 Talents across the East Continent would always be able enter at each competition.

It would have been nice if a few droplets of stalactite remained within the past three years, but now, he noticed that the amount of stalactite available was enough to fill half a small bowl.

Swish!

With incredible speed, a figure dashed toward the small ponds.

It was Yuwen Jun. He was displaying a speed that he had never shown before. In half a blink of an eye, he had neared the small ponds.

Swoosh!

With a wave, Yuwen Jun let out an air blast and scooped up the stalactite in the nine small ponds.

"Haha! Only the strong will be able to obtain the treasure! I'm taking them!" Yuwen Jun laughed loudly.

The fact that the stalactites were here pleased him greatly.

In this moment, those stalactites were his. No matter how strong Su Mo was or whatever strange cards Su Mo might have up his sleeve, he would not be able to wrench those stalactites from his grip.
