Warrior's Promise

After Su Mo and Gu Tianyi bade farewell to the Estate Master, they went to the Imperial Ancestor Peak where Gu Tianyi resided.

Other than the two of them, there were many other disciples of the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction in the Hall.

Gu Tianyi had informed everyone that he was going to take Su Mo the Imperial Ancestor Court and instructed them in a few things regarding the Academy.

After a while, Gu Tianyi asked Su Mo, “Su Mo, do you have anything on? If not, we’ll leave now!”

Hearing this, Su Mo fell silent. “Wait a moment, I’ll be back!” he said.

“Alright, I’ll wait here for you.” Gu Tianyi nodded.

Immediately after, Su Mo left the Imperial Ancestor Peak and flew towards Huoyuan Peak where Grand Master Huoyuan was. He felt that he should bid farewell to Grand Master Huoyuan since he was leaving.

This time, he might not return to Shenwu Academy. Grandmaster Huoyuan had helped him greatly. As such, he naturally had to bid farewell to him.

Before he descended to the palace of Huoyuan Peak, Su Mo realised that the door to Grandmaster Huoyuan’s palace was open. He was sitting cross-legged in the palace and smiling as if he were waiting for Su Mo.

Instructor Mu Li stood beside Grandmaster Huoyuan. Her facial expressions were slightly complicated and she, too, stared at Su Mo.

Immediately after, Su Mo strode into the palace and came before Grandmaster Huoyuan.

“Grandmaster Huoyuan, Instructor Mu Li!” Su Mo bowed in respect to the both of them with a solemn expression.

“Su Mo, do take care after leaving the Academy!” Grandmaster Huoyuan instructed.

“Senior Huoyuan, do you know about it already?” Su Mo was shocked to hear this. Grandmaster Huoyuan had actually known that Su Mo was going to leave the Academy.

“Yes!” Grandmaster Huoyuan acknowledged.

“I will. Take care senior!” Su Mo once again cupped his fist towards Grandmaster Huoyuan.

“Also, the Sorcerer Tribesmen will not let you off, neither will the Imperial Ancestor Court be able to protect you. You have to plan ahead!” Grandmaster Huoyuan reminded Su Mo.

“I understand!” Su Mo nodded. He knew about this.

Grandmaster Huoyuan fell silent for a while and then said, “Su Mo, have you heard of the Sky Dragon Contest?”

“Yes!” Su Mo nodded,

“Not only is the Sky Dragon Contest a contest amongst the major forces, but it is also the contest that requires the highest specification of skills of the younger generation in Ancientspirit Galaxy. I hope to see you there!” said Grandmaster Huoyuan.

“Yes, I will definitely participate in it!” Su Mo smiled.

“Alright, I hope that you will do well!” Grandmaster Huoyuan replied. He believed that it would be a definite win with Su Mo’s talent.

Although Su Mo’s current strength was far from that of the qualifications of the Sky Dragon Contest, he would be able to catch up in two year’s time with his cultivation speed.

Ancientspirit Galaxy was one of the weakest galaxies. In recent years, there had not been any 100-year-old Sage Celestial Figures.

As such, the younger generation who were below a hundred years old and participating in the Sky Dragon Contest was basically the youngest in Ancientspirit Galaxy and were the peak of existence.

The Sky Dragon Contest was a rare event. It was the top genius event in the entire Ancientspirit Galaxy.

Those who won the championship would show disdain for the billions of geniuses in Ancientspirit Galaxy and become the leader of the younger generation. They would become Sages in the future and were expected to be promoted to Empty Gods.

“I will definitely not let you down!” Su Mo nodded once again with determination written all over his face. This was his task and he would work hard on it.

“Alright, you may go!” Grandmaster Huoyuan waved.

“Goodbye!” Su Mo cupped his fists towards Grandmaster Huoyuan and immediately turned to leave the palace.

As he stepped out of the palace, he felt a gust of fragrance sweep over him as a white figure ran over and stopped right in front of him.

“Instructor Mu Li, what do you have to tell me?” Su Mo smiled as he looked at the lady before him.

It was none other than Instructor Mu Li.

Mu Li was calm and not as cold as she was before. She bit her lip and asked, “Do you still need to refine the Natal Spiritual Sword?”

“Natal Spiritual Sword?”

Su Mo was shocked upon hearing this and immediately laughed. Instructor Mu Li had actually wanted to take the initiative to refine his Natal Spiritual Sword!

This was great. He did indeed need to refine his Natal Spiritual Sword – a large number of them in fact.

After a moment of silence, Su Mo asked, “Instructor Mu Li, how much material do you have?”

“Quite a number. Enough to refine three hundred Natal Spiritual Swords!”

“That’s too few!”

Su Mo shook his head as he heard this. “Instructor Mu Li, could you collect some more materials for me? I will give you Spiritual Crystals.”

“How many do you want?” Mu Li asked.

“Nine hundred. I need to refine nine hundred Natal Spiritual Swords!” Su Mo said gravely. If he were to refine nine hundred Natal Spiritual Swords once more, he would be able to gather a thousand of them.

A thousand Natal Spiritual Swords could be equipped to form a very powerful sword array. Its power would definitely exceed that of the Ten Direction Natal Spiritual Sword Snake Array by ten times.

“So many?”

Mu Li was shocked to hear this. Immediately after, she was silent for a moment and then nodded gently. “Alright, I will gather these materials for you in two years!”

“Haha, that’s great! Thank you Instructor Mu Li!”

A smile spread across Su Mo’s face as he thanked Instructor Mu Li. Someone being able to collect the materials for him saved him a lot of trouble.

As a craftsman and mentor of the Shenwu Academy, Instructor Mu Li was the perfect fit for this job.

Although she seemed icy cold on the outside, she was actually so enthusiastic.

Immediately after, Su Mo flipped his palm and a Storage Ring appeared as he handed it over to Instructor Mu Li.

“There are a few Spiritual Crystals here. Take them as money to purchase the materials with!” Su Mo said. There were ten thousand Middle Spiritual Crystals and a black Demon Flower in the Storage Ring.

As she was helping him so much, Su Mo naturally would not be so stingy. The Black Demon Flower was considered his offering of gratitude towards Instructor Mu Li.

Mu Lii did not refuse. She took the Storage Ring and kept it without checking it.

Immediately after, she nodded. Without another word, she headed towards the palace.

Looking at the silhouette of her leaving, Su Mo’s brain heated up as he shouted, “Instructor Mu Li, you should smile more. You are definitely beautiful and there will be endless suitors!”

Hearing this, Instructor Mu Li shook slightly. However, she did not turn back and continued to walk into the palace.

Seeing this, Su Mo could not help but shake his head as he flew towards the Imperial Court Peak where Gu Tianyi was.

As Su Mo flew away, in the palace, Mu Li turned around and quietly looked at Su Mo leaving.

She blushed slightly and her face was pink as a peach. It was slightly alluring.

“Mu Li, child, I think you have fallen for him!” Grandmaster Huoyuan sighed. He could naturally see past Mu Li’s abnormalities.

However, he was not surprised. In this world, geniuses and elites were undoubtedly able to win all the ladies’ hearts.

Su Mo’s talent was second to none. As a young genius, it was normal for him to touch Mu Li’s heart.

“No!” Mu Li blushed even more upon hearing this but she immediately denied it.

“It would be best if you do not pursue this. Do not be bound by the shackles of convention of emotions!”

Grandmaster Huoyuan shook his head slightly and continued, “There is a huge gap between the both of you. It would be best for you to quietly focus on your craftsmanship! I will guide you on the main points of refining Sage weapons in the days to come.”
