Chapter 268: Su Mo’s Expectations
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
“The Lower Lv 3 Cultivation Skill, Purple-dazzling Method!”
Upon seeing this scroll, Su Mo could not help shaking his head.
This scroll was quite good and was even a post-archean cultivation method, making it more powerful than Primordial Qi Manual that Su Mo had cultivated. But he did not want it now.
He wanted to obtain an Upper Lv 3 cultivation skill. Of course, it would be best if it was beyond Upper Lv 3.
All of a sudden, the s.p.a.ce s.h.i.+fted and the figures of white light showed up again.
This time, there were four stronger figures who had all reached Late Lv 3 True Spirit Realm.
While the talents were fighting in the skysc.r.a.ping tower, a lot of people were sent flying out of the tower from its gate. They seemed very upset.
“d.a.m.n it! How could I defeat two figures that are two levels above me?” cursed a tall, strong young man.
Another youth, who had just come out from the tower, scornfully said, “Well, you met only two. I went to the third floor and fought against four figures. Their cultivation exceeded mine by three levels!”
Everyone standing outside looked very disappointed. They had now realized that the tower was a trial and they would be rewarded for every floor that they could clear. However, they had already been disqualified.
They then looked up at the tower. At that moment, the three floors at the bottom of this gigantic tower were radiant and dazzling.
Suddenly, the fourth floor lit up.
“Someone has entered the fourth floor!”
“Yup! He must be a genius on the List of Top 100 Talents! I think it might be Feng Xiu!”
“…”
The crowd was widely discussing it. Although they had failed, they stayed around to see if anyone could make it to the ninth floor.
In the white bowl-shaped light s.h.i.+eld on the third floor, the four figures dashed at Su Mo after they had formed.
“Vanis.h.!.+” Su Mo said coldly.
Simultaneously, a sword radiance struck out as Su Mo sent four attacks that killed the figures instantly.
Now, Su Mo could easily defeat the four figures at Late Lv 3 True Spirit Realm without even using his physical strength.
Another white jade box flew to Su Mo. He opened it and saw another scroll.
“The Medium Lv 3 Martial Skill, Magic Sky Leg Techniques.”
As soon as he saw the scroll, Su Mo sighed again. It was leg techniques rather than swordsmans.h.i.+p.
As the surroundings swiftly s.h.i.+fted, Su Mo entered the fourth floor.
On this floor, eight figures appeared. Their cultivations were at Peak Lv 3 True Spirit Realm.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
The eight figures fanned out and rushed at Su Mo.
.
They drew out their swords and attacked Su Mo at the same time. The eight sharp Sword Qi combined together and then formed a strong storm, fiercely moving toward Su Mo.
“Destroy!”
Su Mo was covered in a dazzling golden light. He stepped forward instead of retreating and split the Sword Qi storm.
“Boom!”
He dispersed the storm and immediately rushed toward the eight white figures.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The sword radiance turned into an illusion and then cut the eight white figures to pieces.
“What’s the reward this time?” Su Mo murmured.
His eyes brightened with hope.
“Swoos.h.!.+”
It was a long, purple wooden box this time, instead of a white jade box.
Upon seeing it, Su Mo knew that it was definitely not a scroll.
Su Mo took the box and opened it. As he expected, it contained a beautiful golden longbow.
“The Medium Lv 3 Naturesound Divine Bow!”
There was a line of words at its center.
“It’s pretty nice. I can give it to Luo Qianfan,” Su Mo thought.
Luo Qianfan had helped him many times. Sending Luo Qianfan the longbow as a present was a good way to show his grat.i.tude.
Su Mo put it away. Suddenly, the s.p.a.ce s.h.i.+fted again and he arrived on the fifth floor.
Meanwhile, on the sixth floor, Xin Wuming’s evil aura surged and he violently chopped his opponents with his long saber.
Xin Wuming was at Peak Lv 3 True Spirit Realm. His opponents were 32 white figures on the sixth floor, whose cultivation had reached Middle Lv 5.
“Die! Die! Die!” Xin Wuming roared with killing aura and unstoppable Saber Qi.
However, the 32 white figures were also mighty warriors and they fiercely attacked Xin Wuming together.
The entire s.p.a.ce was filled with howling Saber Qi and collapsed Qi force, together with incessant explosions.
The fight lasted a full 15 minutes.
All the white figures had disappeared, leaving only Xin Wuming.
“Poof!”
Xin Wuming spat out a mouthful of blood with a pale face.
Even though Xin Wuming’s combat strength was very strong, his victory was hard-earned because the cultivation of the 32 figures was higher than his by over two levels.
On the fourth floor, Jin Yang fought with all his effort. He was swinging his long saber and forcing the white figures back.
Jin Yang was at Middle Lv 3 True Spirit Realm. Hence, the figures he was fighting with had all reached Lv 4.
Jin Yang’s combat strength was indeed powerful. Within moments, he had destroyed all the white figures.
As soon as Su Mo entered the fifth floor, 16 figures of white light formed.
“Early Lv 4 True Spirit Realm!”
Su Mo squinted. Every time he reached a higher floor, the number of the figures would double and their cultivation also increased by a level. Just now, the cultivation of the figures exceeded his by two levels.
“Attack!”
This time, Su Mo took the initiative before the white figures could begin their attack.
Like a ray of golden light, Su Mo rapidly rushed at a white figure, violently brandis.h.i.+ng his long sword.
Holding a sword, the white figure tried to withstand his onslaught but was still destroyed by Su Mo.
“Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+”
The other 15 figures suddenly attacked Su Mo together.
“Haha!”
Su Mo laughed loudly without any fear. As his sword radiance flashed, all the figures vanished.
Su Mo’s physical strength was already equal to the power of a Lv 4 True Spirit Realm martial artist. Combining that with his Genuine Vitality, how could he fear a dozen figures at Lv 4?
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
With the eruption of sword will, Su Mo darted in front of the figures as fast as lightning and fiercely cut them to pieces.
Before long, the 16 figures of white light had been destroyed by him.
Not long after, another white-jade box flew to him. Su Mo was very excited.
When he opened it, as he expected, the box contained a scroll. He took a deep breath and opened to the first page.
“The Medium Lv 3 Martial Skill, Dragon-ridding Palm!”
Su Mo sighed again and disappointedly shook his head. “Why is it so difficult to get a book of powerful cultivation skills or swordsmans.h.i.+p!”
But the palm manual was also quite good. Although he focused on practicing swordsmans.h.i.+p, Su Mo could also practice other martial arts techniques.
Moreover, he was still continuing the challenge. Since the rewards improved as he went higher, he might even obtain an Upper Lv 3 scroll later. Thinking of that, Su Mo continued with eager expectations.
After a short while, Su Mo entered the sixth floor.
Meanwhile, about 900 people who had failed the trial stood outside the tower. There were only 30 or 40 people left inside.
Everyone looked up to the sky and saw the seventh floor emitting a ray of golden light, which proved that someone had entered it.
However, within a dozen seconds, the light went out.
“What’s going on? Did the challenger on the seventh floor lose?”
“Who arrived on the seventh floor? Feng Xiu?”
“It might be Ji Xuehan!”
“That person will be expelled immediately after his failure. We’ll soon discover who he is!”
The crowd was talking actively. After a while, a b.l.o.o.d.y figure flew out from the gate of the tower and crashed to the ground.
