Warrior’s Promise - Chapter 369

Chapter 369: 369


Having killed the two young men in yellow and brocade robes, Su Mo returned to the forest . He sat cross-legged and continued to cultivate under a tree .

During the following period, the Icy Messenger Charm on Su Mo quivered every dozen seconds to 30 minutes . With the forest as his center, Su Mo began to gallop back and forth within a 2-km radius .

He was so formidable that no one he encountered could escape pillaging or even death .

Within six hours, Su Mo robbed over 20 people . If Firmament Divine Realm were more densely-populated, he would have robbed even more .

Thankfully, the distance Su Mo had to travel was not long enough to cost much of his time .

He sat cross-legged under the tree and corpses of several talent who refused to surrender their storage rings or attempted to resist lay before him .

Besides the corposes, there were also millions of Lower Spiritual Stones in front of Su Mo .

Releasing his Devouring Martial Soul, Su Mo began to devour the spoils . Spiritual Stones exploded, and his blood essence surged .

His body was once again shrouded in an eye-catching golden light as the gigantic elephant's shadow constantly flashed . What a majestic scene!

Su Mo was temporarily unable to improve his cultivation . It had skyrocketed by three levels, so the foundation was unstable, and his Genuine Vitality needed to be condensed .

Therefore, he could only enhance his physical strength . His Elephant's Strength Skill had reached Middle 9th Stage, comparable to the strength of Peak Lv 8 True Spirit Realm martial artists . However, there was still room for improvement .

As time went by, Su Mo devoured all the blood essence and Lower Spiritual Stones .

"Damn! Lower Spiritual Stones cannot meet my increasing demand for Spiritual Qi . I'd better go look for some Medium ones . "

Su Mo's demand for Spiritual Qi greatly increased as his physical strength improved, just like with his cultivation .

Oh la la!

With a wave of his arm, millions of Lower Spiritual Stones appeared again .

After devouring all the stones, he stopped cultivating .

"I've reached Late Lv 9 at last! Even with my physical strength, I won't lose out to average Lv 9 martial artists!"

Su Mo immediately ceased devouring . He could not cultivate his physical body because it had already surpassed his cultivation by two realms . If he continued, his body would probably absorb Genuine Vitality from his elixir field .

At present, Su Mo had reached some bottleneck in terms of both Genuine Vitality cultivation and physical strength .

With floating Genuine Vitality and an unfirm foundation, his cultivation and physical strength were temporarily stagnant .

In short, he was unable to enhance any kind of strength for the time being . Instead, he had to solidify his foundation for some time .

"What's wrong?"

Su Mo looked down at the skin on his arm and frowned .


With his physical strength fully activated, pale golden scales covered his body, which made him look like a merman .

Previously, his body had glowed rays of golden light, but now, the golden light converged to form scales .

Su Mo felt bewildered because nothing was said about this in Elephant's Strength Skill .

He did not know if he would turn into a monster covered with scales if he continued cultivating .

He looked slightly grave and sighed . Fortunately those golden scales only appeared when his physical strength was fully activated, so there was nothing much to worry about .



"The defense of these scales should be strong!"

Su Mo's eyes lit up . He swiftly drew his Spirit-slayer Sword and slightly stabbed at his arm .

Clang!

After the stab, Su Mo remained unscathed . There was not even a scar on his arm .

He was shocked . The Spirit-slayer Sword was sharp enough to cut through Body-protection Genuine Vitality of any Peak Lv 6 martial artist . How could he remained untouched?

After a mutter, he lifted his glowing long sword and activated some Genuine Vitality . Once again he stabbed at his arm .

Clang!

After another clang, Su Mo remained unscathed . There was no scar at all on his arm .

"Amazing!"

Su Mo was exulted . That stab could well match the full stroke from any ordinary Peak Lv 7 martial artist . However, he was still protected .

Before this, such an attack that would have surely left a clear scar on his skin even if it did not hurt him .

"Try again!"

Su Mo wielded his long sword and released overwhelming force .

This time his stroke was extremely powerful, comparable to a full attack from any average Peak Lv 8 expert .

Swish!



In a flash, the sword stabbed down .

Clang!

Once again, the sword rebounded from Su Mo's arm and did not hurt him .

Su Mo stared at his arm, only to find an faint white scar on the skin .

"Huff!"

Su Mo exhaled and then smiled .

"Such defense is strong enough to deflect any attack from normal Lv 9 martial artists . I won't be hurt at all . Combined with my Body-protection Genuine Vitality, I'll be more formidable!" Su Mo mumbled to himself .

He needed no more trials, for he fully understood his newly-developed defense .

It would be impossible for Li Hai, Fang Qingyun and the like to hurt him even if he did not fight back .

After a while, Su Mo operated the Nirvana Cultivation Method to cultivate a more solid foundation while taking out dozens of scrolls from his storage ring .

These scrolls were all about martial arts techniques .

For now, his comprehensive strength was peerless among the same rank . His only weakness was the speed of his body moves . He planned to cultivate another profound martial arts technique before the Firmament Palace turned up .

These martial arts techniques were all his trophies .

Su Mo began to check them one by one .

Even the worst martial arts techniques were of Medium Lv 3, while the majority were of Upper Lv 3, and the final four were of Lv 4 .



Among the four, three were of Lower Lv 4, and the last one was of Medium Lv 4 .

Su Mo packed up other scrolls and kept the best one in hand .

He began to read them carefully .

"Dragon Sky-roaming Steps teaches body moves of Medium Lv 4 . When one reaches the Great Completion, (s)he will move like a flying dragon traversing through the sky, fast and agile . . . "

Reading this scroll, Su Mo nodded .

Dragon Sky-roaming Steps was much powerful than the Shadow Steps he had formerly cultivated .

"I'll take this one!"

Su Mo smiled .

Just then, the Icy Messenger Charm on him vibrated again .

Su Mo checked it and heard Han Qianze's voice .

"Su Mo, 950 kilometers to the East stands an ancient city in ruin . As many as 300-400 talents are gathered there, but many are experts of Lv 7 and Lv 8 True Spirit Realm . We will be no match for them, so I retreated . Why not explore a new direction?"

Upon hearing this, Su Mo felt overjoyed . He hurried to say, "Don't move, I'll come to you at once!"

With these words, Su Mo rushed toward the due east .

Han Qianze thought Su Mo wanted to rob some weaker men, so he stayed put to wait for him without thinking twice .

Su Mo flew forward while informing the other three to meet in that ancient city .

No figure could be found within a 1,000-kilometer radius . There was no need for a further search .
