Chapter 607 - Devastated
Su Mo was devouring Beast Souls in the Divine Map’s Space
Class 9 Lv 5 Beast Souls were more powerful than he had imagined. It was tough to devour them.
At this moment, a giant lion over 100 meters tall was roaring and struggling in the air.
The lion was staring at Su Mo, its lantern-sized eyes bursting with killing desire.
“Devour!” Su Mo shouted loudly. He was sitting cross-legged on the ground. He exerted his Devouring Martial Soul to its maximum strength and engulfed the Lion Beast Soul with its devouring power.
He had been careless. He had not expected Class 9 Lv 5 Beast Souls to be so powerful and troublesome to devour.
It was more difficult than the Class 6 Lv 5 Beast Souls he had devoured before.
Luckily, it was impossible for a Beast to resist the devouring power with only its soul.
Although it was powerful, it was still overpowered by the devouring power after struggling for quite some time. Su Mo’s Devouring Martial Soul absorbed it completely.
Puff!
Su Mo heaved a sigh of relief. He had been truly worried that he wouldn’t be able to devour this fearsome Class 9 Lv 5 Beast Soul.
“I guess I shouldn’t feed on such powerful Beast Souls in the future!” Su Mo sighed. Although the effect of devouring a powerful Beast Soul was better, it was too time-consuming.
If these were Class 5 or Class 6 Beast Souls, he could absorb several at once.
He continued to devour, turning the powerful Beast Souls into pure energy and blending them in his Devouring Martial Soul.
Time passed by slowly.
100 souls!
200!
700!
800!
After he had devoured 800 Class 9 Lv 5 Beast Souls, he couldn’t help but feel anxious. His Devouring Martial Soul had not ranked up yet.
“What’s wrong?”
Su Mo was getting upset. He had just devoured 800 Class 9 Lv 5 Beast Souls, in addition to the previous 9000 Lv 5 Beast Souls. Yet, his Martial Soul was not rising in rank.
He only had around 100 Beast Souls left!
He was anxious and frustrated. If his Devouring Martial Soul could not rank up this time, he might vomit blood.
This was more than 10 times as costly as increasing his cultivation.
“Time to continue!” After a short break, he started devouring Beast Souls again.
Soon, he had consumed the remaining 150 Beast Souls. However, his Devouring Martial Soul was still at Rank 9 Earth Class.
“Damn it!” He cursed angrily. He had spent so many Spiritual Stones, but it turned out to be fruitless.
This was a bottomless pit!
Su Mo was devastated. Luckily, the Beast Souls still had some effect. The golden glow on the nine purple halos above his Devouring Martial Soul was becoming more pronounced.
He sighed helplessly. If this went on, god knows how many more Beast Souls he would need to devour to further his Martial Soul!
He had to make more money!
He even considered robbing all the craftsmen.
After a while, he shook his head and shed his distractions. He took out the crafting furnace and prepared to start crafting weapons.
He was going to craft Lv 5 weapons this time. It was several times more difficult than crafting Lv 4 weapons. Before he started, he revised all the key points of crafting Lv 5 weapons that were recorded in the craftsmanship Legacy.
He only began after he had memorized and understood all the key points and the entire process for crafting Lv 5 weapons.
However, he failed on his first attempt.
He overused one of the materials, thereby turning the long sword into a soft sword. He had to craft it again.
On his second try, it took an hour to finally produce a perfect Lower Lv 5 long sword.
It was a long silver sword more than three feet long. It exuded a sharp Qi that shredded the surrounding air.
Su Mo injected his Dark Force into the long sword and slashed at a mountain in the distance. An invincible sword Qi burst out of the sword almost instantly.
Boom!
With a loud bang, Su Mo split the mountain, which was several kilometers tall, into two.
“Excellent!” He nodded in satisfaction. This sword was as fine as other Lower Lv 5 Treasure Swords that he had used before.
Su Mo continued crafting.
One after another, powerful weapons took shape in his hands. He couldn’t help feeling proud about it.
Crafting Lv 5 weapons was a simple task for him.
Lv 5 weapons were worth much more than Lv 4 weapons. He wouldn’t have a hard time earning Spiritual Stones anymore!
In just a few days, he had used up all his crafting materials. He had crafted a total of 204 weapons, and a dozen of them were Medium Lv 5.
He exited the Divine Map’s Space and started cultivating in his room.
Engrossed in his cultivating, 15 days passed very quickly.
The Craftsmanship Contest was about to begin!
Early in the morning, Su Mo left the Blaze Tavern and headed toward the Sky-sea Pavilion.
On the streets of Wuling City, huge amounts of martial artists were moving toward the Sky-sea Pavilion from all directions.
Following the crowd, Su Mo soon arrived at the Craft Tower.
There were several hundred thousand martial artists gathered outside the Craft Tower. It was a spectacular sight to behold. The noise level was through the roof.
There were many craftsmen among these martial artists.
Su Mo scanned through the crowd and found that about 5,000 to 6,000 craftsmen were wearing unique clothing.
All of them seemed excited as they looked forward to the contest.
Whether their effort over the past few years or even the past few decades would pay off, depended entirely on their performances today.
If they won, they would rise to the top. If they lost, they would have to go back to where they came from!
This opportunity would decide their future!
As Su Mo scanned through the crowd, he was startled to notice two acquaintances.
One was a beautiful, alluring young woman, Ming Yu. Su Mo had met her at the Skysea Lake before.
The other was Nie Yu, who Su Mo had previously beaten to a pulp.
The two of them sensed Su Mo’s gaze and turned toward him.
Ming Yu was astonished to see Su Mo, but she smiled and nodded at him. Nie Yu, on the other hand, snorted coldly.
