Warrior’s Promise

In the training room, Su Mo started studying Mountains-weight Skill right away.

“Mountains-weight Skill, a cultivation skill of wood property at Upper Lv 6. This cultivation skill could create a Gravitational Field, and at its peak, it has the weight of thousands of mountains, enough to crush everything…!”

Su Mo became uncontrollably excited as he read on. A Upper Lv 6 cultivation of wood property was the perfect choice for fusing with his Grand Chaos Five Elements Skill.

The Mountains-weight Skill was even stronger than his Nirvana Cultivation Method.

After a long while, Su Mo read through Mountains-weight Skill several times and memorized the key points. Then, he began preparing to cultivate.

At this moment, he suddenly stopped and murmured with his brows creased, “Wait, something’s wrong!”

After a brief thought, Su Mo exclaimed with a bitter smile, “Murong Wudi got me!”

The Mountains-weight Skill was the real deal, but it should have included a complete set of martial arts that included both cultivation skill and martial arts techniques. However, only the cultivation skill was recorded in the jade note.

Murong Wudi cheated Su Mo by giving him only the cultivation skill but not the martial arts techniques.

Su Mo sighed internally as Murong Wudi had kept his promise even though he only gave him the cultivation skill.

After all, the bet that they made before the gamble fight did not clearly require it to be a complete set of martial arts. Hence, Su Mo could not go after him for the other half.

“Never mind! The cultivation skill alone is good enough. I don’t lack martial arts techniques at the moment anyway!”

Su Mo soon discarded his frustration and began cultivating Mountains-weight Skill.

There were seven stages in Mountains-weight Skill just like Nirvana Cultivation Method. Its power would increase by 30% per stage, and the power of its Gravitational Field would be strengthened as well.

Discarding all distractions, Su Mo began cultivating the first stage of Mountains-weight Skill.

Streams of greyish white Spiritual Qi of wood property from his surroundings soon gathered toward Su Mo rapidly, entering his body through his pores.

Five days had passed in the blink of an eye, and Su Mo finally stopped cultivating.

At his will, a stream of five-colored Vital Spirit appeared on his fingertip, and it was beautiful like a rainbow.

“After fusing Mountains-weight Skill into Grand Chaos Five Elements Skill, the power of my Five Elements Vital Spirit has more than doubled!”

Gazing at the Vital Spirit on his fingertip, Su Mo smiled after feeling its power.

He then unleashed a shapeless gravitational power with his thought and formed a gravitational field that engulfed a radius of thousands of meters.

Bong! Bong! Bong!

The gravitational field instantly crushed all the furniture in the training room to dust, and even the entire attic was shaking under the immense pressure.

Shocked, Su Mo quickly removed the gravitational field. Luckily, he had only cultivated Mountains-weight Skill to the second stage, or the entire attic would have collapsed under its pressure.

From now on, the power of his Five Elements Vital Spirit and gravitational field would continue to increase rapidly upon reaching the later stages of Mountains-weight Skill.

“Mountains-weight Skill is truly impressive!” Su Mo was amazed as it was even more powerful than his Nirvana Cultivation Method.

Although Nirvana Cultivation Method could produce the mighty Nirvana Sword Qi, it was no longer useful to him as his own Vital Spirit was far stronger.

“Let’s keep going. I’ll able to reach the third stage in 10 days, and I’ll leave Celestialspirit Sect to train outside afterward,” Su Mo murmured and started cultivating again.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Someone knocked on his door, and Tian Chen said, “Eleventh Junior Brother, Master wants to see you!”

“Master wants to see me?” Su Mo was confused to hear him. Isn’t Master cultivating in seclusion?

However, despite his confusion, Su Mo did not dare to reject his Master’s order. He wanted something from his Master as well.

Master Huangfu Qing had told Su Mo previously that he could ask him for cultivation skills or martial arts techniques. After all, Huangfu Qing had only given Su Mo the Sky-crushing Sword after he joined Towering Sky Peak.

Su Mo exited his attic and asked Tian Chen, “Tenth Senior Brother, why does Master want to see me?”

Shaking his head, Tian Chen replied, “I don’t know. You’ll find out once you see him!”

Tian Chen was feeling complicated at this moment as Su Mo, his junior brother who had only recently joined Towering Sky Peak, had already gotten so far ahead of him.

Tian Chen was overwhelmed by the battle between Su Mo and Murong Wudi, and he still found it unbelievable that Su Mo emerged as the winner.

“Ok!” Su Mo nodded and walked toward the palace.

Huangfu Qing was the only one in the palace at the moment, taking a nap on the chair. Su Mo entered the palace directly and bowed at him.

“Master, I’m here!” Su Mo paid his respect and said.

“Oh!” Huangfu Qing nodded slightly and opened his eyes.

Gazing at Su Mo, Huangfu Qing smiled and said, “Su Mo, I watched the fight between you and Murong Wudi. You’ve done well!”

“Thank you Master! My strength is insignificant!” Su Mo smiled and replied humbly.

“You aren’t arrogant despite your victory, truly a teachable student!” Huangfu Qing paused briefly, and continued, “I’ve yet to bestow you with any martial arts after you became my disciple. I’m going to give you a Lv 6 cultivation skill and Lv 6 martial arts technique now. What type of martial arts do you need?”

Su Mo was joyous to hear this. Huangfu Qing had already offered to bestow him with martial arts skills before he had even asked. It was as if his wishes came true.

A moment of silence later, Su Mo asked, “Master, do you have cultivation skill of either fire, wood, or water property?”

“Cultivation skill with a property?” Huangfu Qing nodded and flipped his palm to reveal a bundle of jade notes and said, “I have a cultivation skill of fire property called ‘Sky-burning Fire Skill’, it’s at Medium Lv 6. Do you like it?”

“Sky-burning Fire Skill?” Su Mo immediately nodded and replied, “I will take the Sky-burning Fire Skill!”

Although Sky-burning Fire Skill was at a lower grade than Mountains-weight Skill, it was still above Nirvana Cultivation Method. Furthermore, it was 100 times more powerful than the Lower Lv 5 cultivation skill of fire property that Su Mo had fused previously, so he obviously would not turn it down.

“What about martial arts techniques? Do you want sword art or something else?” Huangfu Qing asked again.

After pausing for thought, Su Mo replied, “Either sword art or fistplay is fine.”

Although Su Mo was a swordsman, cultivating sword art was not his only option. Since he had yet to reach the Great Completion of Nirvana Swordplay, he did not mind a fistplay that could complement his swordplay.
