Warrior’s Promise - Chapter 30

Chapter 30


Su Mo sat cross-legged next to the corpses of the men in black and released his Devouring Martial Soul .
Their essence, blood, and Martial Souls immediately converged toward him .
Their Martial Souls, including the leader's, were all only at Rank 3 Human Class Martial Soul, so they barely had an impact on Su Mo's Martial Soul progression .
However, most of them were at Lv 7, and the leader was at Lv 8, so their essence and blood held a great amount of energy .
After devouring only half of their essence and blood, Su Mo felt his genuine Qi increase intensely and break through a barrier in cultivation .
He had reached Lv 6 Qi Cultivation Realm!
As he kept devouring, his cultivation was still rapidly increasing .
Early Lv 6 Qi Cultivation Realm!
Middle Lv 6 Qi Cultivation Realm!
Late Lv 6 Qi Cultivation Realm!
When Su Mo's cultivation had almost reached the peak Lv 6 Qi Cultivation Realm, he had devoured all the remaining essence .
All the corpses became mummies .
Huff!
He slowly exhaled a mouthful of heavy air .
He turned to look at Xi'er, who was staring at Su Mo with her mouth slightly ajar and a stunned face .
"Xi'er, now you know what I meant!" He stood up and walked toward her .  
"Brother Su Mo, this . . . "
Xi'er was shocked beyond words and stared at him with wide eyes .
"Haha, this is my Martial Soul's special ability . " Su Mo explained with a smile .
Even he himself had been extremely shocked by this ability at first .
He had never heard of Martial Souls that could turn essence into Qi, or more importantly, increase their level .
"Oh!" Xi'er nodded in confusion .
"Let's keep hunting demonic beasts!"
"Brother Su Mo, your wound is still bleeding!" Xi'er exclaimed, looking at the gash on his body .
"It's alright . It's just a scrape . I'll be fine after I take an elixir!" he said with a wave of his hand and swallowed a healing elixir .
Once the pill healed his wound, he and Xi'er continued to forge into the woods .
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Su Mo crazily killed demonic beasts as he went like a maniac .
Anything that walked into his path was instantly killed .
He would have killed the flying beasts, too, if only he could reach them!
Soon, he had walked over 15 kilometers into the woods and killed more than 40 demonic beasts .
However, even after he devoured their Beast Souls, essence, and Qi, his Martial Soul and cultivation still did not progress .
All these demonic beasts were of Class 4 or 5 Lv 1 . They had little effect on his Martial Soul, and their blood only increased his cultivation to the peak Lv 6 Qi Cultivation Realm .


The essence and blood of more than 40 Class 4 and 5 Lv 1 demonic beasts was not even equivalent to the essence and blood of a martial artist at Lv 8 Qi Cultivation Realm .
As they got deeper into the woods, they began to meet demonic beast with higher levels .
Roar!
A giant Demonic Bear appeared in front of him .

This bear was as black as ink, almost seven meters tall, and weighed about 1500 kilograms . Its massive body exuded a thick cloud of demonic Qi .
This was definitely a Class 6 Lv 1 Demonic Beast .
"Haha!"

Su Mo was overjoyed and swiftly ran forward .
Roar!
Spotting a human that had ventured into its territory, the Demonic Bear immediately let out a roar that shook the entire forest .
Its giant body thundered towards Su Mo, breaking countless tall trees in its path . It swung its paws, which were as big as millstones, towards Su Mo's head .
Although this Demonic Bear was only Class 6 Lv 1, its massive body and powerful strength made it equivalent to a Class 7 Lv 1 one .
Swish!
Despite this, the Demonic Bear still could not block Su Mo's brilliant sword, which immediately cut off its paw and half of its head .
Blood and brains spewed everywhere .
Boom!


The Demonic Bear's giant body immediately crashed down .
Su Mo immediately devoured its essence and blood, transformed it into genuine Qi, and absorbed it into his elixir field .
The genuine Qi in his elixir field had already reached the brink .
He wanted to break through to Lv 7 but was still unsuccessful after two tries .
"It's still not enough . I need a little more!"
Su Mo moved on with Xi'er .
On the way, he kept killing and devouring .
Finally, after Su Mo had killed and devoured eight Class 6 Lv 1 demonic beasts and two Class 7 Lv 1 ones, his elixir field swelled .
His genuine Qi increased greatly once again, and an aura arose from his body that was much stronger than that of Lv 6 .
He entered the Lv 7 Qi Cultivation Realm!
In a short couple of hours, Su Mo had progressed from the Peak Lv 5 into the Lv 7 Qi Cultivation Realm .
If other martial artists learned about his cultivation speed, they would be scared to death .
"Leveling-up is too easy!" Su Mo exclaimed with joy .
He had originally estimated that it would take him two days in Breezewind Mountain to reach Lv 7 .
He had not expected that he would achieve it in only half a day .
"It's so fast!"
Devouring essence and blood increased his cultivation much faster than he had expected .


Of course, all of the men in black had also helped greatly .
"If I kept killing here for two weeks, would my cultivation reach the Spiritual Martial Realm?"
Su Mo's heart was burning with excitement .
However, he soon rejected this notion .
Increasing his cultivation this way no doubt muddled his genuine Qi and made it unstable .
Also, after he killed the guards from the Mansion of the City Governor and prevented Lin Xiao from getting his way, Lin Xiao would probably send more men after him .
It was best for Xi'er's safety to go home soon .
Su Mo could tell from the sky that it was still early in the afternoon, so he decided to hunt a few more demonic beasts before taking Xi'er back .
He continued killing and ended up hunting more than 10 Class 7 Lv 1 demonic beasts by nighttime .
After he devoured them, Su Mo's cultivation reached Late Lv 7 Qi Cultivation Realm .
His cultivation had improved drastically .
However, his Martial Soul had still not progressed even after devouring all of these Beast Souls .
Su Mo estimated that if he wanted to increase his Martial Soul to Rank 7 Human Class, he would have to devour at least a couple hundred more Class 7 Lv 1 Beast Souls .
This task was too big to be undertaken by killing demonic beasts one by one .
It was better to buy them directly .
It was late, and Su Mo did not want to stay any longer . He swiftly left Breezewind Mountain with Xi'er and returned to Sunnywood City .
