Warrior's Promise-Novel

Chapter 1367: No Pressure

A cloud of silence shrouded the palace. Grandmaster Huo Yuan’s eyes were closed and he did not speak.

Su Mo was slightly impatient. A few moments later, he asked, “Grandmaster, the Sorcerer Tribesmen already know that I am at Shen Wu Academy, what should I do?”

“What do you think?” Grandmaster Huo Yuan countered again.

Su Mo frowned upon hearing his words. Every time he asked a question, the Grandmaster asked him another question.

Heaving a deep sigh, Su Mo admitted in a low voice, “I was thinking, if the academy is willing to give me protection, then I will stay here. If not, I will escape!”

As he spoke, his eyes were focused on the Grandmaster. This was because Shen Wu Academy did not allow any disciple to run away completely so they joined one of the superpowers.

Upon hearing Su Mo’s words, Grandmaster Huo Yuan spoke after a few moments of silence, “stay at the academy for now! As long as you remain here, there shouldn’t be a problem!”

“Mmph!”

Su Mo nodded his head and asked hesitantly, “but the Grand Priest of the Sorcerer Tribe would definitely not let me go. What should I do if he comes personally?”

“There will be no problems. As long as the main branch of the Sorcerer Tribe doesn’t interfere, their side branches will definitely not cause any trouble here!” Grandmaster Huo Yuan shook his head.

The 13 superpowers behind the academy were strong. Although none of them were stronger than the main branch of the Sorcerer Tribe, their combined power was definitely something to be feared.

Furthermore, even if one were to ignore the 13 superpowers, Shen Wu Academy itself was much stronger than the main branch of the Sorcerer Tribe.

In its long history, there were many disciples who did not decide to join the 13 superpowers and joined the academy itself eventually.

For instance, Grandmaster Huo Yuan himself was a disciple of the academy and he eventually became an instructor and then a Grandmaster, not leaving the academy at all.

There were many other examples of disciples who stayed at the academy.

It can be said that Shen Wu Academy’s power itself was much higher than the superpowers, such as the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction, behind it.

Of course, the connections between Shen Wu Academy and the 13 superpowers ran deep. Many of the experts of the academy and many members of the 13 superpowers were good friends, comrades and even seniors and juniors.

In a way, Shen Wu Academy could be said to be the 13 superpowers’ strength.

Of course, although the Heavenly Underworld Sorcerer Tribe was not considered very strong, there was still the main branch. The main branch was one of the biggest powers in the entire Ancientspirit Galaxy and was not something that the Shen Wu Academy alone could handle because it had godly powers.

“That’s good!”

Su Mo heaved a sigh of relief before continuing, “then, will the main branch interfere in this?”

“I am not sure! But I do think that the Heavenly Underworld Star branch will try and settle it on their own!” Grandmaster Huo Yuan answered.

Normally, the main branch would not involve itself in these kind of matters. Afterall, the Heavenly Underworld Star Sorcerer Tribe branch would probably not seek help from the main branch for a mere Martial Emperor like Su Mo.

Unless Su Mo’s abilities threatened the Heavenly Underworld Star Sorcerer Tribe, this side branch would not ask the main branch for help in getting rid of him.

Su Mo sighed in relief. Guess he would be safe in the short run. Then, he cupped his fists together and thanked the grandmaster, “thank you for your guidance!”

“Yes, you don’t need to be too stressed over this matter. Go back and continue cultivating!” Grandmaster lightly instructed, waving his hands in a dismissive manner.

“I will leave then!” Su Mo bowed towards the Grandmaster again before he strode out of the grand hall.

Grandmaster Huo Yuan sighed deeply after Su Mo left. Then, he closed his eyes and continued sitting on his seat.

A few moments later, light footsteps sounded as Mu Li entered the grand hall.

“Master!” Mu Li bowed slightly towards Grandmaster Huo Yan.

“Mu Li, what’s the matter?” Grandmaster Huo Yuan opened his eyes and smiled. He was pleased with Mu Li.

This girl was gifted, whether it be cultivation talents or skills. Most importantly, she was very hardworking.

Typically, he would assign Mu Li to help him with miscellaneous tasks.

“Master, I heard what you said to Su Mo!” Mu Li said, slightly embarrassed.

“Oh? Do you have anything to say?” Grandmaster Huo Yuan laughed. He did not blame her for her actions.

“I want to ask you, are you going to protect Su Mo?” In a serious tone, Mu Li asked.

“Of course. He has such great talents, I will definitely protect him!” Grandmaster Huo Yuan nodded his head.

Mu Li sighed out of relief before she asked curiously, “is it really as they have said? That he has four Fighting Souls and two specials body constitutions? That can’t be possible, right?”

Mu Li did not believe this rumour. Honestly speaking, no one would, it was too much!

“No!” Grandmaster Huo Yuan shook his head.

Mu Li let out a sigh, the rumours weren’t true after all. However, the next words that Grandmaster Huo Yuan said, stunned her completely.

“He has three body constitutions!” Grandmaster Huo Yuan said in a soft voice. Yet, to Mu Li, it sounded as if thunder had boomed right beside her ear.

Wearing a look of bewilderment, she stared blankly at the grandmaster with her entire body petrified.

3 special body constitutions?

How was that possible?

How could one person have 3 special constitutions?

“He is a genius, a real genius. The kind we see just once a milennia!” Grandmaster Huo Yuan sighed. He had secretly checked just now and found out that Su Mo had 3 special body constitutions. This, he didn’t know of before.

However, under his willpower checking, it seemed as though Su Mo’s 3 special body constitutions had merged into a whole new special body constitution.

Towards Su Mo’s talents, Grandmaster Huo Yuan was equally surprised. He just did not show it.

He had lived for so long and had never heard of such nature defying talents.

With such a talent, he would definitely not sit by and watch Su Mo be killed by the Sorcerer Tribe. As for taking him as a disciple, he could not consider it anymore.

Perhaps letting Su Mo grow independently would be the best.

Ever since the news of the True Sage Board spread, the higher ups in the academy were all surprised. They were all carefully watching Su Mo and were trying to take him in as their disciple.

However, since Su Mo lived at his Huo Yuan Peak, the rest of the people naturally did not dare to take him away.

In the past two days, 2 Martial Sages had even come personally to the palace to ask about Su Mo, clearly with the intention of taking him as a disciple.

Regarding this, Grandmaster Huo Yuan was very clear. He would personally supervise Su Mo’s cultivation growth and hence, he had rejected the 2 Martial Sages.

He did not want Su Mo to be their disciples. Su Mo was a sinful person and his future was tumultuous. He must not become any other person’s disciple. Otherwise, he would destroy the balance in the academy.

Mu Li remained stunned and speechless. She did not doubt Grandmaster Huo Yuan’s words. Since he said that Su Mo had 3 special body constitutions, then that must be true.

However, 4 Fighting Souls and 3 special body constitutions... that had completely defied any expectations of hers.

If Su Mo really had such talents, it would be enough to shake the entire Ancientspirit Galaxy.

“Mu Li, if you can, try and stay more in touch with him. This man is not simple, he will bring both advantages and disadvantages!” Grandmaster Huo Yuan advised.

“This... Mu Li only wants to follow Grandmaster and learn craftsmanship peacefully!” Upon hearing his words, Mu Li was shocked, but she remained determined with her words.

“Ke ke! You are so determined. Our craftsmanship definitely needs this kind of determination!”

Grandmaster Huo Yuan beamed. Then, he checked on Mu Li’s progress with her craftsmanship and carefully guided her through the challenges she faced.
