Chapter 266: Rocketing Strength
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Su Mo continued to devour Spiritual Stones in the stone room to increase his cultivation.
Late Stage of Lv 1 True Spirit Realm!
Peak Lv 1 True Spirit Realm!
After Su Mo consumed almost 70,000 Lower Spiritual Stones, his cultivation had reached the Peak Lv 1 True Spirit Realm.
“Burst!”
Su Mo then took out a million Lower Spiritual Stones at once, which occupied half of the room. He then bit the bullet and ran his Martial Soul to devour all of the Spiritual Stones. A crazy amount of Spiritual Qi filled the entire room and was being absorbed by Su Mo.
Su Mo had decided to break through to Lv 2 True Spirit Realm without pause.
If he was in the Spiritual Martial Realm, Su Mo would explode because he had devoured over a million Lower Spiritual Stones at once.
But now, his cultivation had rocketed and his strength had shot up as well. He was capable of devouring Spiritual Stones at a never-before-seen rate.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under the impact of such an intense Spiritual Qi, Su Mo’s progression bottleneck would collapse even if it was as tough as a steel wall.
In just over 20 breaths time, Su Mo had broken through into Lv 2 True Spirit Realm. His Genuine Vitality had once again rocketed together with his strength.
However, Su Mo was not going to stop.
Cras.h.!.+
Spiritual Stones were continuously taken out as Su Mo devoured them like his life depended on it. He seemed to have entered a state of madness.
His cultivation surged as he devoured the Spiritual Stones relentlessly.
Early stage of Lv 2 True Spirit Realm!
Middle Stage of Lv 2 True Spirit Realm!
Late stage of Lv 2 True Spirit Realm!
The Peak of Lv 2 True Spirit Realm!
After Su Mo consumed another two million Lower Spiritual Stones, his cultivation had reached the Peak of Lv 2 True Spirit Realm.
“d.a.m.n it! Burst again!”
Su Mo decided that he’d either go hard or go home, and he took out another two million Lower Spiritual Stones in one shot. The Spiritual Stones filled up the stone room completely and even spread beyond the room.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
He exerted his Devouring Martial Spirit again. The vast amount of Spiritual Stones burst one after another like firecrackers, and the noise of explosions was nonstop.
The entire room was now filled to the brim with Spiritual Qi, and Su Mo could not even be seen.
“Er!” Su Mo let out a m.u.f.fled moan. The Spiritual Qi of the two million Spiritual Stones was too much even for his strength.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
His nine Spiritual Spirals were running like mad to absorb the Spiritual Qi as he kept trying to break through to Lv 3 True Spirit Realm.
The process was more than 100 times tougher than breaking through to Lv 2 True Spirit Realm.After another two hours had pa.s.sed, Su Mo had failed despite having absorbed all the Spiritual Qi.
Su Mo’s Genuine Vitality stored in his Spiritual Spirals had long reached a state of saturation, but he could not break through his cultivation bottleneck no matter what he did. A huge amount of Spiritual Qi was wasted as a result.
After a long while, Su Mo let out a mouthful of heavy air.
“My cultivation has increased too quickly! I can’t break through without a stable foundation!” Su Mo thought to himself as he sighed.
Su Mo then started cultivating his human body. With the endless amount of Spiritual Stones and Herbs he had, he could not only greatly improve his cultivation, but also his human body.
There were more than 6000 bottles of elixirs and about 400 Spiritual Herbs left in his storage ring.
After a brief thought, Su Mo decided to cultivate his human body with the elixirs and Spiritual Herbs. He then took out everything except for over 2000 bottles of cultivation-improving elixirs and several hundred bottles of healing elixirs.
He was saving those elixirs for his family.
After all, he should help his family get stronger now that he was so powerful.
Su Mo devoured the elixirs and Spiritual Herbs while he cultivated the Elephant’s Strength Skill. He was covered in a golden glow and shadows of elephants roared constantly.
As long as he had enough resources, it was much easier to improve his human body than his cultivation.
When he had finished devouring over 4000 bottles of elixirs and 300 Spiritual Herbs, his Elephant’s Strength Skill had reached the early stage of Lv 8. His human body strength was now comparable to the power of a martial artist at Lv 4 True Spirit Realm.
After a short while, Su Mo stopped cultivating and did not continue to devour Spiritual Stones.
His human body strength was already powerful enough, having exceeded his cultivation by two levels. If he continued to cultivate his human body, there was a chance that the Genuine Vitality in his Spiritual Spirals would be absorbed by his human body again.
He knew that his human body strength could not overly exceed his cultivation!
“This will be enough! If I run into Feng Xiu again, I’ll not lose with my current strength!” Su Mo’s eyes were beaming with confidence. Now that both his cultivation and human body strength had rocketed, he was much stronger than before.
He then stood up and prepared to leave.
“Wait, what was that leather armor just now?” Su Mo suddenly remembered the leather armor from before and took out the storage ring that he had robbed.
That young man’s storage ring had lots of good stuff. There were more than 100,000 Lower Spiritual Stones and lots of weapons and Spiritual Herbs. But Su Mo skipped counting them for the moment and took out the leather armor instead.
The leather armor was grey and felt soft and cool to the touch. Su Mo could barely feel its weight.
At the chest area of the armor, there were a few tiny words written-Medium Lv 3, Skyspirit Armor!
“Skyspirit Armor? I wonder how tough it is?” Su Mo thought briefly before throwing the Skyspirit Armor on the ground. He then took out his Spirit-slayer Sword and slashed at the armor.
The slash was incredibly powerful given that Su Mo had used almost 90% of his strength. If he could cut through the armor’s defense with a single strike, it would be useless to him.
Puff!
As the sword radiance flashed, a deep imprint that was several meters long was left on the ground. Yet, the Skyspirit Armor did not sustain any damage.
“It’s pretty good!” Su Mo’s eyes lit up. The armor’s defense was extraordinary! His human body was already tough enough, but with this armor, his defense would improve further.
Su Mo then put on the armor and left with a big smile on his face.
Su Mo did not see anyone else in the dark pathway. After a short while, he saw a light coming from one the of the pathways and dashed toward it.
It was a wide pathway that led to an exit. Su Mo bolted out quickly.
There was a small square outside the exit. A gigantic tower, 1000 meters tall, stood erect on the square, it was the tower at the center of the buildings around here.
Su Mo glanced over and saw that the building surrounding the tower was circular and had an exit every 100 meters. There were people were coming out of the other exits every now and then.
At the moment, there were more than 1000 people gathered at the square, beneath the tower.
Su Mo took a quick glance and realized that all of them were experts. Even the weakest amongst them were at Lv 2 True Spirit Realm.
Feng Xiu, Leng Yunfeng, Xin Wuming, and other geniuses from the List of Top 100 Talents were there as well.
All of them were staring at the tower eagerly. Su Mo also went forward and started scrutinizing the tower.
The tower was like a ma.s.sive pillar that supported the sky. There were all kinds of mysterious, profound and complicated patterns on its surface.
“There must be splendid treasures in this tower!” Su Mo thought to himself.
