Many geniuses in the True Sage Territory were shocked as disarray befell the outskirts of the True Sage Territory.
“Oh my goodness! Wu Shang has lost!”
“How pitiful, his actual body has been destroyed and his Fighting Souls were stolen!”
“How frightening, the first ranked on the True Sage Board really lived up to his name!”
“Wu Ren Wang had been captured and Wu Shang as well. What is Su Mo planning on doing?”
The scene was one of utter chaos as voices rose above one another. Everyone was shocked by the outcome of the battle.
At first, everyone thought that Su Mo was doomed to lose when Wu Shang used the Souls of the Dead skill, a Forbidden Sorcerer Skill. However, it turned out that this skill was completely useless and Wu Shang was defenseless in front of Su Mo.
This outcome was beyond what anyone had imagined and it changed what everyone thought of Su Mo.
First ranked on the True Sage Board, he deserved this name!
Being able to overcome the three ranks in between them and completely defeat a Rank 9 Martial Emperor and even the eighth ranked on the True Sage Board. Who else in the entire Ancientspirit Galaxy would be able to do that?
Right in the midst of all the frenzy, a bone chilling wind blew across, causing everyone to shiver.
The temperature in the starry space in a 10 kilometre radius seemed to have dropped to the freezing point.
Turning their heads around, they saw the cold-as-ice emotion plastered on the face of Grand Priest Wu Lun from the Sorcerer Tribe. A sinister and dark aura rolled out of him, causing everyone in the starry space to stiffen.
The crowd scrambled away from the mad Priest in fear, not daring to be too close to him.
Even the Sorcerer Tribesmen beside the Grand Priest had their hearts frozen in place as they desperately flew to one side.
The Grand Priest was mad. Wu Ren Wang and Wu Shang were defeated and then captured one after the other. Now, his Sorcerer Tribe’s geniuses were all completely defeated. This wretch Su Mo’s talents and power were really ungodly.
A few moments later, the Grand Priest calmed himself down. Since the geniuses of the tribe were all defeated, he had to act by himself!
Su Mo could live a little while more but once he came out, he would be killed instantly.
On the green platform, Su Mo immediately flew off the stage after attaining his victory.
He had already battled twice, accepted one challenge and been challenged once. He did not know how many more challenges he would have to accept but he had to challenge two more others.
Then, the battles on the green platform resumed as rounds after rounds of challenges continued.
After another ten hours, the first round of challenges had ended. Among the 800 contestants, 500 were eliminated and there were 300 contestants left.
The reason why there were less than half the contestants left was that some challenges were repeated contestants.
For instance, a challenger could beat his opponent and then be defeated by another contestant in the second challenge.
Alternatively, a challenger could be challenged twice and defeat both his opponents.
Very quickly, the second round of challengers began. After a few rounds of elimination, the average strength of the rest of the challengers was high and the competition was also very intense.
For those geniuses like Jiang Shenye and Fei Zhangyun, they were exceptionally strong and could defeat their opponents with less than two blows.
However, a hundred rounds had passed by and no one had dared to challenge Su Mo.
Su Mo had displayed his fighting strength in the previous two battles, showing everyone else how superior and frightening he was. Hence, it was a given that no one dared to challenge him as they would just be inviting their own defeat.
A few moments later, Su Mo’s name lit up again. It was his turn to challenge a second person.
When Su Mo landed on the green platform, many peoples’ heart’s started to quiver, worried that they would be called up on the stage.
Among the remaining contestants, there were no other Sorcerer Tribe geniuses left. All the Sorcerer Tribesmen were defeated by other contestants.
Standing tall on the green platform, Su Mo scanned through the list of names remaining before he slowly locked down on his target.
“You Tianhan!” Su Mo lightly announced.
That’s right, he was going to challenge You Tianhan. Since there were no other Sorcerer Tribesmen left, he wouldn’t challenge others who weren’t related to him. instead, he would challenge You Tianhan.
This man had schemed against Nie Qian and Han Ying, wrongly accusing them and caused them to be locked up and have their Souls Tortured. Su Mo did not forget this crime.
At that moment, You Tianhan was sitting at a corner in space, quietly healing himself. The previous round of challenges had caused him to suffer some injuries.
He still had two rounds to go and might even be called upon for a challenge in the midst of that. His strength was only considered average amongst all the contestants left and as such, he had to quickly recover from his injuries or he might not be able to last till the end.
“What?”
You Tianhan’s face instantly changed when he heard Su Mo call his name. Right now, he didn’t dare to fight against Su Mo.
With what Su Mo had displayed, You Tianhan was clearly not Su Mo’s opponent.
As the rest of the onlookers heard Su Mo’s opponent, their hearts jumped and they were full of suspicion. Su Mo actually challenged someone in his own Shenwu Academy??
This was very strange. Did some kind of animosity exist between them?
Yet, at this point, the group that was most surprised was the Shenwu Academy disciples. They did not think at all that Su Mo would challenge You Tianhan.
A group of Taishi Family members hardened their faces. Su Mo was obviously provoking them by targeting You Tianhan.
“Seems like Su Mo wants to take revenge against You Tianhan!”
Ren Yundu silently sighed to himself. He understood where Su Mo was coming from, but with these actions, the Taishi Family would come and cause trouble with their faction again.
They went through so much difficulty to resolve the previous issue and now another problem had surfaced.
A few Shenwu Academy instructors couldn’t help but furrow their brows. Su Mo challenging his fellow disciple enraged them and this definitely took away You Tianhan’s opportunity to obtain the True Sage Qi for himself.
“Really, just causing trouble!” Instructor Mu Li was completely speechless. Su Mo was outstanding in every aspect of his own attitude and personality.
He wasn’t afraid of anything and dared to do outrageous things!
Within the True Sage Territory.
You Tianhan’s face fell. He did not want to challenge Su Mo, but the rules of the round did not allow him to escape this challenge.
An invisible force pulled him up into the air and sucked him towards the green platform.
Su Mo’s lips curled into a smile as he saw this.
“Su Mo, you actually challenged me. You are just seeking your own personal revenge here!” Once You Tianhan landed on the green platform, he yelled out and made an accusation.
“What’s wrong with seeking my own personal revenge here?” Su Mo calmly replied.
“You…!”
You Tianhan was at a loss for words. Then, he sucked in a heavy breath and continued, “you are seeking revenge for Nie Qian and Han Ying right?”
“That’s right!” Su Mo admitted.
“They defended you. If it wasn’t the two of them in the Torture Room right now, it would be you in their place!” You Tianhan told him.
Su Mo laughed out in a sarcastic manner. What a joke! If You Tianhan didn’t report the event, how would anyone have known that he killed Zhao Cheng and Guo Jianqing?
Furthermore, Su Mo only killed the two of them because they were sent as assassins to kill him!
“You Tianhan, I am going to give you one chance. Get off the platform voluntarily and accept your defeat. Otherwise, don’t blame me for what I am going to do!” Su Mo coldly said. He did not have the intention of directly killing You Tianhan.
On one hand, it was because of his relationship with the Taishi Family. Although it seemed that all had been resolved on the surface, it would be troublesome again for him if he killed You Tianhan.
In addition, there were rules set by the academy that forbade disciples from killing each other outside the fighting realm. Su Mo also knew that quite a number of instructors from the academy were watching the scene outside the True Sage Territory.
Most importantly, Su Mo did not know what other schemes You Tianhan could be plotting behind his back.
