Warrior’s Promise

Swoosh!

Su Mo flew out of the fighting ring in the canyon and landed in the gambling fighting ring almost instantly.

“Su Mo!” he announced his name and clasped his fists.

Wei Hai nodded, sized up Su Mo, and said, “Let’s begin!”

After the voices died, the Vital Spirit emitting from Wei Hai started to increase rapidly.

“Junior Sister Hong, do you think Junior Brother Su Mo can win?” At the top of the valley Huang Yao glanced at Hong Qingxuan and smiled.

“He’ll definitely win!” Hong Qingxuan answered confidently. She knew the full extent of Su Mo’s combat force.

“Junior Sister Hong, you seem quite confident in him!” Huang Yao was slightly surprised and continued, “You don’t usually even bat an eye at powerful Inner Disciples, yet you’re so close to an Outer Disciple. Now I want to know what makes him so special.”

Huang Yao scoffed inwardly but praised Su Mo on the surface. This way, it would be even more embarassing for Hong Qingxuan if he lost.

However, she was soon shocked.

The battle had ended while she was talking.

Su Mo easily raised his fist and punched, his five-colored fist force sending Wei Hai from the fighting ring.

Ending the battle with a single punch was extremely efficient!

“How… How powerful!” Huang Yao frowned in shock. She had not expected Su Mo to be so strong.

Hong Qingxuan smiled and did not seem surprised.

After being struck down by Su Mo, Wei Hai was completely dazed. He had not expected Su Mo to be so strong.

After a while, he glumly took out 3000 Medium Spiritual Stones and handed them to Su Mo.

Casino Valley was overseen by an elder, and the gambling fighter had to pay up to the amount they set. If they went back on their word, they would be violating sect rules and would face severe punishment.

Therefore, there was almost no risk of someone defaulting on payment.

After winning 3000 Medium Spiritual Stones, Su Mo smiled. Earning money was so easy! Then, he flew back up the valley.

He did not stay in the fighting ring to start gamble fights. Instead, he planned on earning some Spiritual Stones as a challenger and would begin gamble fights after there were no suitable opponents left.

Su Mo’s speedy victory drew the attention of many people.

“Who is that? He defeated a martial artist of the same level with one punch! That’s amazing!”

“I wonder which peak of genius he’s from.”

“I know. He’s Su Mo, the new disciple of Towering Sky Peak. He even killed Zheng Renjie from Holy Sky Peak.”

“Oh, that’s him. No wonder he’s so powerful!”

Everyone was discussing quietly. From the opposite side of the valley, Wu Sheng also watched Su Mo’s fight with a smile.

“Amazing! No wonder he’s number one on the List of Top 100 Talents of Hong Domain!” he exclaimed.

After Su Mo returned to the top, Hong Qingxuan immediately smiled and said, “Brother Su Mo, with your abilities, you can start a gamble fight and set a high reward. This way, you’ll make good money.”

“No hurry. I’ll challenge a few people first!”

Su Mo shook his head and then glanced at Huang Yao, smiled and said, “Senior Sister Huang, I hope I lived up to your expectations!”

Huang Yao froze, and she said with a frown, “Your strength is alright, so you should be able to fight those at a higher level. You’re almost as good as me!”

Su Mo chuckled and did not respond. He did not care if she looked down on him since he was only here to earn Spiritual Stones.

After a while, Su Mo stepped into the ring again. This time, he was up against a Lv 4 Enlightenment Realm martial artist who had won twice in a row and was very powerful. His bet was set to 20,000 Medium Spiritual Stones.

“Haha!”

Huang Yao laughed when she saw Su Mo attempting to challenge a higher level martial artist. “Junior Sister Hong, Junior Brother Su Mo is really too impatient if he is even attempting fighting at a higher level! It seemes he’s not just here to earn Spiritual Stones, but also to show off to you.”

Hong Qingxuan did not respond and only watched Su Mo quietly.

Su Mo landed in the valley and stared at his opponent.

He was a tall and stocky young man with an axe in his right hand and a shield in his left, giving off a menacing aura.

“Are you Su Mo?” the young man asked with a frown.

“Yes!” Su Mo nodded.

“I heard you killed Zheng Renjie. You’re quite powerful!” the stocky young man yelled seriously. “However, my defense against the same level is peerless, and no one has been able to break it to date. Neither will you!”

At this, the Vital Spirit on his body began to pour into his black shield, which instantly glowed with a brilliant radiance.

At the same time, the young man released his Martial Soul. It was a giant gray shield at Rank 8 Earth Class.

The giant shield Martial Soul combined with the shield in his hand doubled his defensive strength.

The stocky young man knew Su Mo’s strength could not be underestimated, so he immediately displayed his strongest defense.

“Really? I’ll try then.” Su Mo chuckled, and his fist was surrounded by his five-colored Vital Spirit and layers of golden scale armor.

At the top of the valley, Huang Yao glanced at Hong Qingxuan, shook her head and said with a smile, “Junior Sister Hong, I’m afraid Su Mo is going to lose this time!”

“No he won’t” Hong Qingxuan shook her head.

“Junior Sister Hong, you may not be aware, but Su Mo’s opponent is Lin Kun, a genius from Sky-caging Peak. Although his attack is mediocre, his defense is incredibly strong. Su Mo is only Lv 3 Enlightenment Realm, but even those at Lv 4 Enlightenment Realm do not stand a chance at winning!” Huang Yao retorted.

Hong Qingxuan glanced at Huang Yao. She could tell that Huang Yao looked down on Su Mo, but she did not want to continue the argument. Huang Yao would soon see who would be the victor.

Many people in the valley knew who Su Mo was and looked toward his fighting ring. They wanted to see how powerful this new disciple from Towering Sky Peak truly was!

“Here I go!” In the fighting ring Su Mo said calmly.

“Make your move!” the stocky young man shouted. He had used his strongest defense. If Su Mo was not strong enough to break through it, he would then launch an aggressive attack on Su Mo.

Thump!

Su Mo trod heavily on the fighting ring, and the recoil shot him out like an arrow toward his opponent.

“One punch will do!” he said coldly, his voice full of confidence.

His golden fist, surrounded in five-colored light, pierced through the air and landed heavily onto the stocky young man’s shield.

Boom!

An earth-shattering explosion resounded through the entire valley.
