Warrior's Promise

"Of course it is true!" Su Mo said with a smile.

Elder Yu sucked in a deep breath at Su Mo's confirmation. Then, he bowed deeply to Su Mo and said, "Many thanks for presenting this to me. I'll always treasure my newfound knowledge. If you have any further requests in the future, please feel free to call on me!"

"You're welcome!" Su Mo hurriedly rushed to help Elder Yu up.

Thereafter, Elder Yu spoke for a few more moments with Su Mo and then hurriedly left the hall. He could not wait to start studying his newfound craftsmanship knowledge.

As he looked at Elder Yu's departing figure, Su Mo sank into deep thought. He had a pretty good impression of this man, so there was a chance in the future, he would like to bring this elder along with him out of the Mist Mountains.

His temperament and craftsmanship knowledge both surpassed Liang Tong, so he would definitely be an asset to the Firmament Sect.

"Ha ha! Su Mo, I can tell that you have presented Elder Yu with a precious gift! You are truly a man of your words and you have given him a generous reward!" Governor Bai said with a smile, placing a particular emphasis on the last two words.

He was reminding Su Mo of his words earlier.

After all, Elder Yu was employed by him, so now that Elder Yu had helped Su Mo, he deserved some credit too.

"Elder Yu had truly been of great help, he deserved his reward!" Su Mo said with a nod. He naturally caught the underlying meaning behind Governor Bai's words, but he chose to ignore them.

He felt that Governor Bai was a hypocritical man and was probably a conman as well. Su Mo would not let a man like this take advantage of him!

"Governor Bai, I'm tired. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave!" Su Mo added.

Uh...

Governor Bai's face froze, but his expression did not betray his inner frustration.

"Sure, please rest well!" Governor Bai nodded.

"Show our guest to his room!" Governor Bai summoned a servant who then showed Su Mo out of the hall.

After Su Mo left the hall, Governor Bai's face turned serious as he called out, "Young lady, are you done listening?"

A woman dressed in red immediately appeared behind a folding screen at the back of the hall. It was none other than Bai Yin'er.

"Father, I've only just arrived and only caught a few sentences!" Bai Yin'er said brightly as she stuck out her cute tongue.

Her eyes twinkled as she asked curiously, "Father, what is he like? How extraordinary is he?"

Governor Bai replied solemnly, "He is not just extraordinary, this man is simply phenomenal!"

He thought for a moment, then continued, "Yin'er, I'll give you a mission!"

"What kind of mission?" Bai Yin'er asked, puzzled.

"I want you to make full use of the time where he's here to build closer ties with him!" Governor Bai said with a smile.

"Fa….father, what nonsense are you spouting?" Bai Yin'er shouted angrily, her face burning with embarrassment.

She had never been intimate with any man before and now her father was asking her to seduce someone?

"Why? Do you not want to?" Governor Bai asked teasingly. Then he sighed and said, "I'm sure that many women would throw themselves at him since he is an exceptional peerless genius. Since you won't go, I'll arrange for someone else to seduce him!"

"Ah!'' Bai Yin'er's face froze. Then, she shouted angrily, "Father, how could you do this! How could you have the audacity to try to tempt him with feminine wiles?"

Governor Bai's face twitched involuntarily. Across the entire Great Martial City, only his own precious daughter would dare to speak so rudely to him.

He had spoilt her from young which resulted in her being so ill-mannered.

Governor Bai did not flare up at her, but asked with a small smile, "Yin'er, why are you so agitated?"

Governor Bai's eyes sparkled with amusement. He knew his daughter very well. How could she not have feelings for such an exceptional talent?

"I…I.. Who says I'm agitated? I just don't agree with your methods!" Bai Yin'er retorted.

"I'm only doing this because I want to establish ties with this man!" Governor Bai said.

"You can't just go about doing this using feminine wiles!" Bai Yin'er said angrily.

"How else should I approach it?" Governor Bai countered.

"Uh…" Bai Yin'er could not think of a reply.

That's right! This outsider was so exceptional that he would not be tempted by the promise martial arts techniques or treasures. What else could he use to tempt this man?

"Alright, I'll get going first since I have to tend to other matters!" Governor Bai rose to his feet.

He did not force her to agree to his proposal because he knew that she would act without any further prompting from him.

His daughter always had a massive ego and so did not care for the young and handsome talents in Great Martial City since she was practically invincible amongst the younger generation.

There was no way she would sit idly by now that she had encountered such an exceptional talent!

Governor Bai strode out of the hall. The city walls had collapsed, so he would need to make arrangements for its repair.

Bai Yin'er stamped her feet in annoyance after her father left. Then, she started to sink into deep thought.

Whatever she was thinking of caused a blush to spread across her beautiful face.

Su Mo swallowed several healing elixirs, then sat cross-legged and tended to his wounds quietly.

The injuries sustained from his previous battle with Yin Ting were very serious and had not fully healed.

His plan was to first tend to his wounds, then combine his remaining Spiritual Spirals. Finally, he would attempt to advance to the Martial King Realm.

If he managed to attain the Martial King Realm, his strength would definitely increase significantly. He could then make his way to the Imperial City and think of a way to obtain the Blood-striped Seed.

Once he managed to break through to Martial King Realm cultivation, he was sure that every few people in this country would be able to defeat him.

He activated his Dark Force and refined the elixirs as he completely immersed himself in the healing process.

Three days quickly flew by, and he had almost fully recovered from his wounds.

He stopped the healing process because the lighter injuries would heal by themselves.

He then used his Mind to peer into his elixir field and started to combine his Spiritual Spirals.

He still had to combine the remaining four Spiritual Spirals in his elixir field with his Super Spiritual Spiral for the process to be complete.

He mentally controlled one of his Spiritual Spirals toward his Super Spiritual Spiral and started to slowly merge them together.

Since he had increased his physical strength to Lv 2 Martial King Realm while cultivating at the Mist Mountains, he did not encounter any significant problems this time.

Nonetheless, he still took an entire day before he successfully merged one Spiritual Spiral with his Super Spiritual Spiral.

"I still have to do this another three times!" Su Mo said excitedly. Then, he started the merging process again.

This time though, the difficulty level increased significantly. As the Spiritual Spiral slowly merged into his Super Spiritual Spiral, it became more unstable and started to vibrate violently. This also affected his body and he started to tremble incessantly.
