Warrior's Promise

Everyone stared intently at Wu Chen on the Fighting Platform without blinking their eyes. Wu Chen’s face was already pale and, at the very most, he was just two breaths away from dying. The audience could not help but sigh regretfully. Even someone as strong as Wu Chen was of no match for Wu Mo; Wu Mo would definitely have a high chance of being chosen for the Young Priest ceremony this year.

Time flew by quickly and the duration it took to take two breaths were up. Right at that moment, a dense haze that covered the entire Fighting Platform suddenly filled the grounds. Then, it was sucked completely into Wu Chen’s body. Following which, color returned to the pale Wu Chen’s face and he quickly recovered. Those who witnessed this scene all carried a look of bewilderment on their face; they were momentarily stunned.

What was going on?

Why was Wu Chen suddenly awake? Did he actually escape from Wu Mo’s Dream Realm? How could this be possible?

Once Su Mo was awake, he breathed a long and heavy sigh of relief. This Wu Mo’s Fighting Soul was so strong, the Dream Realm it constructed could be said to be unrivalled. However, no matter what Fighting Soul it was, it was still something to be devoured by his Devouring Fighting Soul. Now, this unfathomable Dream Realm Fighting Soul belonged to him.

With this, Su Mo raised his eyes and looked towards the statue-like Wu Mo, who looked as if his life blood had been drained out of him. Then, Su Mo strode towards him. Once in front of him, Su Mo raised his hands and retrieved the storage ring on Wu Mo’s finger.

Boom!

At that moment, Wu Mo’s tall and thin body fell flat onto ground, creating a muffled sound as he hit the ground.

The entire Fighting Platform was as quiet as a graveyard. The muffled sound created by Wu Mo’s body as it fell was not loud, but it thundered and rang through everyone’s ears.

Wu Mo was dead!

Within a span of six breaths, Wu Chen was still alive but Wu Mo had died!

Everyone was stunned, they did not imagine that the results of their match would have turned out this way.

Why Wu Mo was dead and how did Wu Chen beat the Dream Realm Fighting Soul? Everyone remained puzzled despite pondering these questions a hundred times. Even the elders who were in the Martial Sage Realm were dumbfounded.

However, these elders were still much more knowledgeable compared to the rest of the Sorcerer Tribesmen. They could infer some things. Wu Chen is strange! His Fighting Soul is definitely complicated. Just now, a strange power emitted from Wu Chen had sucked in the Dream Realm Fighting Soul.

What power is this?

Some elders still could not understand, but they did know that Wu Chen wasn’t simple. He might actually possess two Fighting Souls.

“I will ask again, who else is discontented?” asked Su Mo loudly, surveying his surroundings.

This time, no one else dared to challenge him. Even the so-called unrivalled Wu Mo of Black Gold City had died, so who else would try to challenge Su Mo again?

Elder Wu Yuan’s face was as hard as steel and rage boiled over in his heart. How could this Wu Chen be so strong?

However, there was no one else who could match Wu Chen’s strength and he could do nothing else now but just wait for another chance in the future.

“Since no one else dares to challenge me, then this is over!” said Wu Chen, after waiting for a full fifteen minutes with no one else daring to challenge him. Then he walked down the Fighting Platform and out of the Fighting Grounds.

Only once Su Mo had left the Fighting Grounds did the place burst into an uproar as discussions erupted. This battle had completely secured Wu Chen’s place as the top genius among the tribe and had increased his fame.

“Interesting!” Wu Tian Yu silently sat in the stands and mumbled to himself, his eyes curled into a slight smile. He felt that Wu Chen was hiding many things. Wu Chen radiated an aura of mysteriousness and he couldn’t fathom what it was. This also ignited his fighting spirit within him. However, he was only a Level 2 Martial Emperor artist and was definitely not Wu Chen’s match now.

Once Su Mo left the Fighting Grounds, he, as usual, returned to the second level of Earth Pagoda. In the period after this, he had no intention to leave the pagoda and would cultivate within it until the Young Priest Choosing ceremony. Sitting in the cultivation room, Su Mo silently pondered to himself. He not only had to achieve Rank 1 in the Heaven Combining Ghost skill, he also had to train his body’s physical state and perhaps even break into the Level 3 Martial Emperor Realm. Then, he had to create an independent avatar out of Wu Chen’s body. Once he becomes a young priest, his original body can then return to Shen Wu academy.

Of course, he would definitely think of a way to punish the Sorcerer Tribe before he leaves. Su Mo would definitely not forget about Tai Shi Xuan and You Tian Han. They dared to send men to kill him, they would need to be prepared for his revenge. With that, Su Mo calmed himself down and begin to try to create his avatar.

Waving his hand, he released his original body and let it sit opposite himself. Then, with a thought, the Fighting Soul returned to its original owner. Once back in his own body, Su Mo was slightly uncomfortable. Of course it had been a long time, but he quickly picked himself back up. He had to create an avatar out of Wu Chen’s physical body and therefore had to return to his original body. Otherwise, it would have to be the other way round and his original body would be the avatar instead.

Following which, Su Mo carefully pondered to himself, what Fighting Soul should possess the avatar?

A few moments later, a thick haze rolled out from his body with a thought, covering the entire cultivation room.

This was Wu Mo’s Dream Realm Fighting Soul!

This Fighting Soul was very strong, thus giving it to his avatar would be very advantageous. Yet, with such a strong Fighting Soul, Su Mo was slightly reluctant to give it to his avatar. The best Fighting Soul should obviously be kept with his original body.

After a few moments of thinking, he retrieved the Dream Realm Fighting Soul back and decided to use Zhao Cheng’s ‘Gold Ape Fighting Soul’ as well as Wu Lie’s ‘Fierce Blaze Stone Fighting Soul’ for his avatar. Although these Fighting Souls were individually not strong, together his avatar would be considered a genius with two Fighting Souls. Of course, giving a Fighting Soul to his avatar was hard. Giving two Fighting Souls would be even harder.

A short while later, Su Mo began to try splitting his own Spiritual Soul. His Spiritual Soul had already combined with the Devouring Fighting Soul and hence needed some time to be split. However, this was still quite easy and not long later, he managed to obtain a portion of his Spiritual Soul from the Devouring Fighting Soul, based on what the Flaming Ghost Sage said. This portion of the Spiritual Soul was very small, amounting to only one percent of Su Mo’s entire Spiritual Soul.

The successful splitting of the Spiritual Soul caused Su Mo’s face to pale. His Spiritual Soul was his life blood, even one percent of it being split would cause a substantial amount of damage to him.

Following which, Su Mo immediately released the Gold Ape Fighting Soul. Then, he carefully merged his portion of Spiritual Soul with the Gold Ape Fighting Soul. The process of merging was a long and arduous one, but nonetheless, it was successfully completed after two hours. This was because the Gold Ape Fighting Soul was merged with the Devouring Fighting Soul when it was devoured. It thus had an intangible connection with him.

Then, Su Mo immediately released the Fierce Blaze Stone Fighting Soul. He now had to merge the two Fighting Souls together. This time Su Mo did not have it easy, he faced a huge challenge.
