Chapter 1241: 1241
As Su Mo was about to return the tower, he discovered that two persons had arrived .
They were Nie Qian and Han Ying .
“Brother Su!” They greeted him, cupping their fists at Su Mo .
“What are you doing here?” Su Mo smiled . They were nice and he had already treated them as friends .
“Brother Su, we heard that you are going to duel with Leng Jiang!” Nie Qian said with a grave and worried face .
“Come in and talk!” Su Mo nodded and showed them into his tower .
There was a small hall in his tower . The three of them took their seats .
“Brother Su, you must not fight Leng Jiang in one month’s time!” Nie Qian said hastily after seating himself .
“Why?” Su Mo was puzzled .
“Brother Su, you are very powerful but you are no match for Leng Jiang!” Nie Qian warned him . He understood Leng Jiang’s strength very well .
“Don’t worry . We won’t know until after the duel!” Su Mo shook his head and was not very concerned . He had realized that no one in the Shenwu Academy believe in his ability to fight Leng Jiang .
“Brother Su, there is something else you don’t know!”
Han Ying had a serious look on her beautiful face . “Leng Jiang has a Lvl 3 Martial Emperor Realm cultivation, but his true strength is closer to a Lvl 4 Martial Emperor . He is extremely powerful!”
“Really?” Su Mo’s heart sank when he heard Han Ying’s words . Was Leng Jiang’s cultivation closer to the Lvl 4 Martial Emperor Realm?
“What’s worse, Leng Jiang is cruel and vicious . He killed his opponents after two duels in the Fighting World!”
Han Ying sighed and continued . “So, if you fail in the duel, you will die in the Fighting World!”
Both of them were not for Su Mo fighting Leng Jiang, lest he lose his life .
They already knew the whole story . Leng Jiang had challenged Su Mo because of the blackmail during their Demonic Clouds Sea trip .
Therefore, they could not sit by and watch Leng Jiang kill Su Mo .
“Will the Academy just do nothing about the killing?” Su Mo asked .
“Usually, the Academy will not intervene if both parties are willing participants of a duel!” Han Ying said .
“I see!” Su Mo nodded . The Fighting World was a place where the Shenwu Academy disciples could do battle . It was also a place filled with murderous intents .
After pondering for some time, Su Mo stared at them and assured them in a deep voice, “Please don’t worry . I have my own plan and will not go to the Fighting World if I am not confident . ”
Nie Qian and Han Ying felt relieved on hearing his words .
They all knew how powerful Su Mo’s Martial Soul was . It would be a pity if he was killed in a duel!
After much pondering, Nie Qian spoke again . “Brother Su, since you’re a freshman to the Academy, I need to remind you of something!”
“What?”
“The factions in the Shenwu Academy are very complex . They contend with one another, openly and secretly . You’d better not get yourself implicated!” Nie Qian said .
“Oh? What factions are there?” Su Mo wondered .
“The Shenwu Academy is made up of thirteen superpowers so there are thirteen factions . Among the 18 Holy Sons, 13 are of a different faction . Leng Jiang is from the Chixia Caves!” Nie Qian said slowly .
“The Chixia Caves!” Su Mo exclaimed and frowned . It seemed that the Shenwu Academy was complicated indeed .
“Does it mean that a disciple must join the superpower backing them?” Su Mo asked .
“Yes . Each of the 13 superpowers will send their outstanding geniuses to the Academy . Some of their geniuses will become a Holy Son and draw people to their Sect . A Holy Son will back his supporters and these supporters will end up joining his faction!” Nie Qian explained with a nod .
Su Mo suddenly understood . This large Academy had cultivated so many geniuses that each faction wanted to rope in as many talents into their ranks as possible .
After graduating from the Shenwu Academy, these geniuses would choose and join a faction . The 13 superpowers had to garner their support before their graduation .
But it was not appropriate for the Instructors to recruit these disciples openly . Otherwise, the Academy would end up in a big mess .
So every superpower tried to nurture thier genius to be a Holy Son . The Holy Son would then do the recruiting .
“How about the other five Holy Sons?” Su Mo raised another question .
“On the surface, they do not belong to any faction . No one knows which faction they will join!” Han Ying said .
“I see!” Su Mo nodded . Since these five powerful Holy Sons had not joined any faction, they would targeted by superpowers trying to recruit these talents .
It was possible that they had already joined a faction in secret, but had not announced the fact in public .
Only now did Su Mo realize the fierce struggles within the Shenwu Academy!
As soon as he showed his talent, they would doubtlessly try to rope him in .
“Well, which faction is the Divine Son from?” Su Mo asked suddenly . Everyone knew that the Divine Son was more powerful and elevated than a Holy Son .
“This generation’s Divine Son has not joined in any faction!” Han Ying said .
Su Mo was surprised by this fact . Since the Divine Son had not joined any faction, there would be a fierce battle for him among the 13 superpowers!
The Divine Son was an invincible genius who could reach the Empty God Realm . Each faction had to cozy up to him .
Han Ying sighed and said, “The Divine Son hasn’t joined any faction and has been in the Academy for 25 years . He has five more years to go . The superpowers are all terribly anxious over the last two years!”
“Last year, many elders from these superpowers came here to meet the Divine Son and try to recruit him . But he hasn’t express his stand openly!”
“If the Divine Son doesn’t state his preference two years later, the superforces will do everything to force him to make a decision!”
Han Ying said this, her face full of envy . The Divine Sun was the brightest presence in the Academy thanks to his extraordinary talent and strength .
If a Divine Son had not hailed from these 13 superpowers, he would be cherished and pampered, his every requirement met without any question .
Centuries ago, these superpowers had even fought brutally over a Divine Son .
Su Mo marveled . This was the only way to treat an invincible genius!
After some time, he shook his head and stopped dwelling on the matter .
It had nothing to do with him . He would have to think about how to defeat Leng Jiang a month later .
Leng Jiang had come from the Chixia Caves . The problem was somewhat thorny .
Su Mo asked them about the Chixia Caves to have a better understanding of its current situation .
Nie Qian and Han Ying bade farewell and left only two hours later .
Then, Su Mo left the tower and headed for a traders’ market at the Southern Yard Square .
He would like to see if treasures like Beast Souls were on sale—they could help him raise his Martial Soul level .
His duel with Leng Jiang was a month away . He could only try and break through the Martial Emperor Realm . If he did not succeed, he was likely to lose .
