Warrior's Promise

Although Jiang Feng Ran and Si Kong Yan were considered talents, they had quite a limited development. Previously, Su Mo had thought of letting the two of them, including those involved in the war chaos, enter Shenwu Academy. However, he eventually abandoned the idea. The water in Shenwu Academy was very deep and it would be better for them to cultivate on their own.

“Si Kong Yan, Jiang Feng Ran, I heard that you were injured, what happened?” Su Mo asked curiously, without answering Si Kong Yan.

“Ah! Don’t mention it!” upon hearing this, Si Kong Yan sighed, his face full of depression. He continued, “A few days ago we offended an elite, and he is a disciple from your Shenwu Academy. He was so good, even though we are of the same cultivation, Jiang Feng Ran and I were no match for him!”

Si Kong Yan looked defeated. He was relatively confident in his power. He believed that no one of his same rank, other than Su Mo, was able to defeat him. Even during the war, those of the same rank were only slightly stronger than he was. This time, it was a complete failure.

“What is the name of the disciple from Shenwu Academy?” Su Mo was shocked, the two of them actually had a bad encounter with a disciple of Shenwu Academy.

“I’m not sure!” Si Kong Yan shook his head.

“Master, Si Kong Yan was dealt a heavy blow!” Jiang Feng Ran smiled sadly, shaking her head.

“It is normal to have suffered defeat, there is nothing to be depressed about!” said Su Mo with a deep voice. Although the two of them were extraordinary talents, they were very poorly educated. Many of the Shenwu Academy geniuses were talented and were of the evil spirit generation. There was a significant number who cultivated Honourable Levels of Martial Skills. Even if Si Kong Yan and Jiang Feng Ran had lost, it was not a big deal.

“Okay, Su Mo. Let’s talk business! How did you manage to give Uncle a Fighting Soul?” Si Kong Tan’s eyes lit up as he stared at Su Mo. He referred to Su Mo’s father, Su Hong, as Uncle in an endearing way.

These past few days, he and Jiang Feng Ran had been rehabilitating in their rooms, completely shut off from the outside world. Once they were out, they immediately heard the news of Su Hong and a dozen of others who now had powerful Fighting Souls.

As people who were not even of the Martial King Realm, the news that these average warriors actually had Fighting Souls was sensational, as it went against the norm of the cultivation realm. As such, once he and Jiang Feng Ran heard of this, they immediately rushed to find Su Mo.

“I gave it to him!” Su Mo smiled. At the same time; he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. It looked like the news of this situation had to be more heavily guarded. If not, and it spread to the outside world, Su Mo was afraid that it would cause trouble. After all, he had basically become a genius making machine, one who could create an unlimited number of geniuses and give them Fighting Souls.

“How did you give it to him?” Si Kong Yan asked, staring in shock. Similarly, Jiang Feng Tan’s face was full of disbelief as she stared fixedly at Su Mo.

“I devoured many Fighting Souls so that they could be blended!” replied Su Mo. Both of them knew that he was able to devour Fighting Souls, as such, there was no need for him to hide it.

“Oh goodness! Do you have any left?” Si Kong Yan was excited. This could be a great blessing. Without waiting for Su Mo to reply, he asked with his reddened face, “I don’t want many, just give me ten!”

“What?” upon hearing this, Su Mo’s face instantly darkened. What nonsense! Si Kong Yan claimed that he didn’t want many, yet he asked for ten! Were Fighting Souls like Chinese cabbages?

“I don’t have ten, you two can each get one. I’ve already prepared them for you!” Su Mo said in a deep voice, shaking his head helplessly. He indeed had many more Fighting Souls, but he could not simply give them away to others without control. Anyway, Si Kong Yan and Jiang Feng Ran already had their own Fighting Souls. It was sufficient to just blend one more for them.

If Su Mo gave them any more, the difficulty level of blending would increase hundreds of times. Maybe in future, if the two of them reached higher levels and the power of their Spiritual Souls grew stronger, it might be possible to continue blending Fighting Souls.

“What kind of Fighting Soul?” Si Kong Yan and Jiang Feng Ran asked simultaneously. The two of them had Spiritual Bodies, so blending with a similar type of Fighting Soul would be the most compatible.

“Fire Spiritual Bird Fighting Soul and Hurricane Fighting Soul!” Su Mo said. He knew that Si Kong Yan and Jiang Feng Ran were in the Firmament Palace, and he had already chosen suitable Fighting Souls for the both of them.

Hurricane Fighting Soul was once Wu Tian Yu’s and Fire Spiritual Bird Fighting Soul was devoured while killing one of the Sorcerer Tribe towns.

“What are you waiting for? Start blending now!” Si Kong Yan was extremely impatient, he wanted to start immediately. Su Mo shook his head and started blending the Fighting Souls for the two of them.

Since the cultivations of Si Kong Yan and Jiang Feng Ran were high enough, their Spiritual Souls were equally as strong. The blending of Fighting Souls for the two of them was slightly faster for them as compared to the rest. They each took only about half a day.

Furthermore, Si Kong Yan and Jiang Feng Ran were geniuses with unique body constitutions, but they also possessed Twin Fighting Souls. It could be said that the talent of their Fighting Strength was comparable to that of Wu Ren Wang. They could both be considered top geniuses.

After he finished, Su Mo then stayed in Firmament Place for two to three days to blend a second Fighting Soul for both Emperor Shi and Hai Ming Jiang. He then planned to leave Tushan Town and return to Shenwu Academy.

Before he left, Su Mo prohibited the spread of news about the blending of Fighting Souls to the outside world. If anyone disobeyed, the offenders would be executed. The good thing was that in the Firmament Palace, people were only brought from the outside world. News would only spread within the area and not out of it.

At the same time, Su Mo left a message behind before leaving, which was to convene the war. When he returned home at sunset, he would continue to blend a second Fighting Soul. After assigning these tasks, Su Mo left with peace of mind. He believed that the Firmament Palace had turned so many of them into matchless geniuses, they would surely develop immensely.

Then, from Star GuZhou and even the entire Ancient Spirit Galaxy, he would take over everything!

…

Without speaking a word to anyone, Su Mo returned to Shenwu Academy a few days later. He immediately journeyed to Huoyuan Peak, his own mountain dwelling. When he arrived, he noticed that something was amiss.

“Huh?” Su Mo’s suspicions were raised as he scanned Nie Qian and Han Ying’s dwellings, which were right next to his own. There was a small amount of blood staining their doorsteps.

What was going on? Where did the blood come from? Su Mo walked into Nie Qian’s dwelling. As the dwelling did not have a traditional door, he walked right into the home. As soon as he entered, Su Mo saw Nie Qian with his eyes closed, rehabilitating. His face was extremely pale and his body’s aura was indescribably weak.

“Brother Su!” hearing footstep, Nie Qian immediately opened his eyes.

“What happened? Who hurt you?” Su Mo asked with a frown.

Upon hearing this, Nie Qian’s eyes flashed as he smiled bitterly and said, “On the way back to the Academy, I was attacked by villains. They wanted to kill me and take away my treasures. This is how I was injured!”

“Brother Nie, tell me the truth!” Su Mo stared fixedly at Nie Qian, he did not believe his story one bit. The blood stains outside the dwelling had clearly been there for days. Nie Qian and Han Ying should have returned to the Academy half a month ago, maybe even sooner. They clearly had been injured at the Academy.

“This…!” Nie Qian hesitated then sighed. “Brother Su, we were injured by Taishi Xuan!”

Aware that he was unable to hide anything from Su Mo, Nie Qian told him the truth. He proceeded to tell Su Mo the story: two days ago, when he and Han Ying were outside the Academy, they were kidnapped and taken to Taishi Xuan’s residence by a few descendants of the Taishi Family. After which, Taishi Xuan questioned them about the situation regarding Zhao Cheng and Guo Jian Qing. They told their captor nothing, and as a result, were brutally injured by him and his family.

“Taishi Xuan, again!” Su Mo instantly clenched his fists, a glimmer of murderous rage flashing in his eyes. Su Mo had not sought revenge when Taishi Xuan sent people to kill him. Now, for a second time, this man tries to attack him and his friends. Taishi Xuan must be tired of living!
