Chapter 208: Going to the Inner Gate
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
The people of the Li’s were all dead.
Master Li Tan was dead, and so were the seven elders and most of the youngsters of the Li’s.
In the hall, there was no one living except for Su Mo and two other people.
Su Mo stepped forward and found some storage pouches on Wu Yuansheng, Li Tan, and several elders of the Li’s.
He gave all those storage pouches to Li Feng without checking how much property was inside.
“Keep these storage pouches!” Su Mo said.
Li Feng nodded as he accepted all of them.
These were all the property of the Li’s, and Li Feng knew that even if he were to refuse, Su Mo would still give them to him.
“Let’s go, Li Feng. I’ll take you to Sunnywood City. My family is there,” said Su Mo to Li Feng.
“What!”
Li Feng was a little undecided because he was worried that if he went to Su Mo’s family, he would surely make trouble for the Su’s.
“That’s OK. Just stay at my home and treat your injuries.”
Then, Su Mo left the Lis with Li Feng and his father.
Su Mo bought a good carriage and went to pick Li Feng’s mother up, and then the four of them left Halcyon City for Sunnywood City.
The carriage that he bought was pulled by four Sliver-horned Horses with the blood of demonic beasts, so it could move at a rapid speed.
After four days and four nights, they finally reached the Su’s in Sunnywood City.
Su Mo called his father, Su Hong, and several other elders of the Su’s and told them about Li Feng’s misfortunes.
Immediately, the First Elder arranged a s.p.a.cious courtyard for Li Feng and his parents.
In addition, he arranged for four servants to be at Li Feng’s service in their courtyard.
Also, in order to cure Li Feng’s skeletal damage, he also ordered others to buy some helpful medicinal materials in all of the best shops in Sunnywood City.
Su Mo had now surpa.s.sed Su Hong and had an extremely high prestige among the Su’s. He could make them all busy with just a few words.
After Li Feng’s family was settled, Su Mo said goodbye to his father, Su Hong, and left for Gale Island without further delay.
Six days later, Su Mo arrived at Waterside City and took a ferryboat to return to Gale Island.
When he returned to his small courtyard, he found Niu Xiaohu and Zhou Xin chatting there.
They had already returned.
“Senior Brother Su Mo, is that you who had 151 straight wins in the Four Seas Arena of the Imperial City?”
Upon seeing Su Mo, Zhou Xin and Niu Xiaohu had stood up immediately, and then Niu Xiaohu excitedly asked him about that.
Su Mo smiled and nodded.
“Hahaha!”
Niu Xiaohu laughed and said to Zhou Xin, “I knew it! That definitely was Senior Brother Su Mo!”
Niu Xiaohu was so satisfied, as if he himself had won 151 straight times.
Zhou Xin smiled with embarra.s.sment.
Three days ago, Zhou Xin was shocked by a guy named Su Mo who had 151 straight wins in the Four Seas Arena of the Imperial City.
Although Zhou Xin guessed that this guy was the legendary Su Mo, he was still not sure because he was too shocked!
Su Mo eyed them and said to Zhou Xin with a smile, “Zhou Xin, you’ve improved a lot in cultivation recently!”
Obviously, Zhou Xin’s cultivation had entered Lv 3 Spiritual Martial Realm.
But Niu Xiaohu was much worse than Zhou Xin, as he was still at Lv 2 Spiritual Martial Realm.
“Xiaohu, you need to work harder so you can step into Lv 3 Spiritual Martial Realm sooner to keep pace with Zhou Xin,” Su Mo said to Niu Xiaohu.
“Haha! Senior Brother Su Mo, Zhou Xin has a Rank 6 Human Cla.s.s Martial Soul and has greater talents than me. I can’t catch up to him!”
Niu Xiaohu smiled helplessly.
After some deliberation, Su Mo took out 500 Lower Spiritual Stones and gave them to Niu Xiaohu.
“Here are 500 Lower Spiritual Stones for you!” said Su Mo.
“500!”
That sent a chill up Niu Xiaohu’s spine. He knew that 500 Lower Spiritual Stones were equal to 31,250 kilograms of gold!
“What… Senior Brother Su Mo, I can’t accept this! You should keep these for yourself!”
Niu Xiaohu shook his head immediately.
Upon hearing this, Su Mo smiled and said, “Xiaohu, I won so many Spiritual Stones in the Four Seas Fighting Ring as a prize. These Spiritual Stones are just chicken feed. Just keep them!”
“This is too much indeed!”
Niu Xiaohu hesitated for a while.
But in the end, he accepted all of those Spiritual Stones.
He had heard of the prize of the Four Seas Arena and knew that Su Mo had won countless Spiritual Stones. For Su Mo, those Spiritual Stones were not even worth mentioning.
Su Mo did not forget about Zhou Xin, whom he also gave 500 Lower Spiritual Stones.
Since Niu Xiaohu had agreed to accept those Spiritual Stones, Zhou Xin also had to accept them.
Then, after a few moments, Su Mo said to them, “Xiaohu and Zhou Xin, just keep talking. I’m going to rest now, and then after, I’ll go to the Inner Gate!”
“Senior Brother Su Mo, what are you going there for?” Niu Xiaohu asked casually.
Su Mo smiled and said, “I’ll partic.i.p.ate in the Inner Examination!”
“What?”
Hearing this, Niu Xiaohu and Zhou Xin were astonished. After a little while, Niu Xiaohu asked, “Senior Brother Su Mo, you… you’ve reached Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm?”
Niu Xiaohu asked in this way because only when disciples of Gale Island had reached Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm could they partic.i.p.ate in the Inner Examination.
“Just recently!” said Su Mo seriously as he nodded.
Niu Xiaohu and Zhou Xin felt embarra.s.sed. They shook their heads and muttered.
“Just recently? Is that not obvious enough?”
“Weren’t you at Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm when you partic.i.p.ated in the Outer Disciple Compet.i.tion just over a month ago?”
“You’ve made consecutive level-ups within just more than a month. There is no doubt that you have made it just recently!”
At this moment, Niu Xiaohu and Zhou Xin were shamed to death!
As the saying goes: Comparisons are odious. Although they had practiced cultivation at a high speed, compared with Su Mo, they were just too slow.
“Haha!”
Su Mo chuckled and then went back to his room.
Su Mo sat cross-legged in his room and, instead of practicing cultivation, he sat in meditation quietly.
These days, he had been continuously traveling, so he felt tired and prepared to take some rest.
By now, Su Mo’s injury had almost completely healed up.
A few days ago, when Su Mo took Li Feng to Sunnywood City, he had been healing himself inside the carriage.
Since the fight at the Lis, Su Mo’s strength had greatly improved.
He had absorbed tons of Genuine Qi and Blood Qi. Although Su Mo had failed to convert them into Genuine Qi, he ran the Elephant’s Strength Skill to completely melt this Qi into his human body.
He was now not afraid of anyone at Lv 8 Spiritual Martial Realm by relying on the strength of his human body.
After sitting for an hour, Su Mo left his room and went to the Inner Gate.
The Inner gate of Gale Island was far away from the Outer Gate. It stood on the main peak, which was the core of Gale Island.
Su Mo arrived at the Inner Gate in about 15 minutes.
Unlike the crowded Outer Gate, the Inner Gate was spa.r.s.ely populated.
It was said that there were more than 1,200 Inner Disciples in Gale Island. Compared with the Outer Gate, that number was quite small indeed.
There was a side hall in the Inner Sect Affairs Hall, which was where the newly-arrived disciples would take the examination.
At that moment, Su Mo stepped into the Examination Hall. He saw an elder and then found two other people who were taking the Examination.
One of them was Ling Muchen, who ranked number three among the Top 10 Outer Disciples.
