Warrior’s Promise - Chapter 27

Chapter 27


In the martial practice field, Su Mo ignored Su Yu and the others . Instead, he sat down to meditate .
After a while, Su Hong arrived on the martial practice field with the elders .
"Please be quiet, everyone . May I have your attention?"
Su Hong held his hand up to silence everyone .
"Our yearly family martial arts competition will be held in 10 days . " When the crowd grew quiet, Su Hong continued, "However, unlike those in the past, the elimination match has been changed to a challenge match . The winner will be able to enter the Sunnywood City Martial Arts Competition .
The City Martial Arts Competition is a joint competition between our family, the Weis, and the City Governor's Mansion . Each family will send 10 superior disciples to attend this competition, and our three families will grant large rewards to those who perform well in the competition .
The 10 disciples from our family will be selected from the challenge match . Before the match begins, we'll select 10 seeded disciples . Other disciples can challenge them, and if they defeat the seeded disciples, they can replace them . "
Su Hong explained the family competition and the Sunnywood City competition carefully .
"Who are the 10 seeded disciples?" someone asked .
"We'll discuss this soon," the First Elder said .
He looked around and continued, "Su Tianhao and Su Hai, you're both outstanding among our inferior disciples, so both of you are definitely seeded disciples . Yu'er, you should also work hard . You have the highest Martial Soul among the Sus, and you're the first genius of our family, so live up to your title . In this competition, you three are critical to our family's victory . You must win glory for our clan . "
The others all nodded and did not doubt his words . They all believed that these three were the main talents of the Sus .
Su Yu and Su Hai looked extremely arrogant .
Su Tianhao maintained a stony expression . He was the most powerful among all the young disciples, so he did not care about this level of competition .
"Alright, you may now be dismissed . Be industrious in your cultivating," said Su Hong, waving his hands .
When the disciples left, Su Hong found Su Mo and said, "Mo'er, you'll be one of the seeded disciples . "
"Haha, Father, I'm actually not that interested in the martial arts competition," Su Mo said with a chuckle .
"Mo'er, this martial arts competition will offer generous prizes, and the City Governor's Mansion is even gifting the winner an Energy-boosting Elixir . Other rankings will have big rewards as well," Su Hong said .  
"Oh, Energy-boosting Elixir!" Su Mo's eyes instantly lit up .
The Energy-boosting Elixir was an Upper Lv 1 elixir . It was very precious for martial artists between Lv 7 and Lv 9 Qi Cultivation Realm, because it could save them three months' worth of cultivation .
Additionally, martial artists below Lv 7 Qi Cultivation Realm could use it to break through their realms .

"Both the Weis and the City Governor's Mansion have powerful disciples who have cultivated in Sects . I don't expect you to enter the top three . I'll be very satisfied if you enter the top 10 . "
Su Hong did not want to give him too much pressure . After all, he knew that Su Mo had only cultivated for a short time and was weaker than the disciples in Sects .
"Haha, father, don't worry . I'll try my best to rank high . " Su Mo smiled, his eyes twinkling .
"Only top 10? My father has such low expectations for me!"
"Good . " Su Hong patted him on the shoulder with relief .
After going back to his room, Su Mo sat down cross-legged and started to cultivate .
He had to cultivate harder if he wanted to win the martial arts competition .
That was right . He wanted to win!
Either he did not compete, or he would aim to be the champion .


He sat cross-legged with closed eyes . The three-meter-high Devouring Martial Soul suspended behind him and crazily sucked in aura from heaven and earth .
When his Devouring Martial Soul had just awakened, it was only one and a half meters high, but now, as its level progressed, it was three meters high .
The Devouring Martial Soul rotated and emitted an invisible suction to devour all the surrounding Spiritual Qi .
Su Mo used the Lv 2 cultivation skill of Elephant's Strength Skill . His giant mass of Spiritual Qi became elephant-shaped runes, which continuously entered his body .
His body felt a little numb, which meant it was being increasingly reinforced .
Lvs 1 to 3 of Elephant's Strength Skill mainly enhanced his strength and fortified his body .

His cultivation of Elephant's Strength Skill had reached the late stage of Lv 2, which gave his body the strength of six tigers .
With his cultivation speed, it would take at most a couple of days to complete Lv 2 and begin cultivating Lv 3 .
Elephant's Strength Skill could refine Spiritual Qi at a formidable speed and could absorb any amount of it at an alarming speed .
His Martial Soul at Rank 6 Human Class still could not absorb Spiritual Qi as quickly as his body .
Time trickled by slowly .
Three days later, Su Mo felt that his body was saturated with Blood Qi and could not absorb the elephant-shaped runes anymore .
He opened his eyes and stopped cultivating .
He had completed Lv 2 of Elephant's Strength Skill .
Next, he needed to cultivate Lv 3 cultivation skill .
However, in order to speed up his cultivation, he decided to go on a trip .


Sunnywood City's martial arts competition would be held soon, so he decided to go back to Breezewind Mountain to increase his strength .
There, he could kill as many beasts as he wanted and devour their Beast Souls, essence, and blood .
Stepping out of his room, he saw Xi'er practicing her punches in the yard .
She was cultivating the Body Tempering Fist . She waved her fists, shouting with determination .
Her pretty face was glistening with beads of sweat .
"Xi'er, I'm going to Breezewind Mountain to hunt demonic beasts . I'll be back tomorrow," he said to her .
"Brother Su Mo, I want to go, too . Please take me!" Xi'er stopped cultivating and looked at him excitedly .
"Alright! Let's go!" After considering this for a while, Su Mo nodded .
Although the mountain was dangerous, he could protect her as long as they did not go too deep into the mountain .
They left Sunnywood City for Breezewind Mountain immediately .
. . .
In a quiet yard in the City Governor's Mansion sat a handsome young man who wore a silk robe .  
He was holding a flirtatious maiden in blue in his arms, kneading her hip and sizeable breasts .
　　
He was Lin Xiao, the son of the city governor .
Just then, a voice said from outside of the yard, "Young master, I have something to report . " 


Lin Xiao frowned but did not let go of the maiden . He shouted, "Come on in!"
Immediately, a tall middle-aged guard walked in and bowed to him .
"Young master, Su Mo left town!" he said .
"Hmm? With whom?" Lin Xiao asked excitedly, and his eyes lit up .  
"It is just him and Lady Xi'er . " The guard replied .
"Excellent! I'm in luck! Take several people with you to kill him and steal Lady Xi'er back . " Lin Xiao was overjoyed and added hurriedly, "Remember, you can't hurt her . Send her to my room at night . "
"Yes, sir!" The guard said before leaving .
Lin Xiao's face was full of excitement . Since he saw Xi'er last time, he had not been able to get her beautiful figure out of his mind .
He had been tirelessly thinking about how he could make her his woman .
Therefore, he had dispatched someone to keep an eye on Su Mo and her .
Now, to his joy, his dream was about to come true .
As soon as he imagined her dainty face and the charming figure lying under his body, Lin Xiao began to blush furiously .
Suddenly, he lost all interest in the beautiful maiden in his arms .
