Chapter 137: The Approaching Outer Disciple Competition

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

The following days went by peacefully for Su Mo.

Everyday, he cultivated the Tiger Roaring and Dragon Fist in the morning, and genuine Qi as well as his human body at night.

The Tiger Roaring and Dragon Fist was indeed a post-archean martial skill that was difficult to cultivate.

In 10 days time, Su Mo had merely crossed the threshold. In order to achieve the realm of Minor Completion, an estimated cultivation period of one to two months was needed.

“Dragon Conquering the World!”

At the mountain peak, Su Mo delivered a fierce punch.

Instantaneously, a heavy and dense fist shadow went straight through the air, and blasted into the churning clouds beneath the cliff.

Roar!

A terrifying dragon roar sounded when the fist shadow appeared.

After a while, Su Mo withdrew his fist.

“This fist technique is indeed tough to cultivate. If I could reach the Great Completion Realm, it’ll be stronger than the Divine Wind Swordplay!” Su Mo murmured.

“Nevermind, I shall aim to reach Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm in the next few days!”

Su Mo left the cliff and headed back to his courtyard right after.

Just as he returned to the courtyard, Li Feng came running over in a hurry.

“Senior Brother Su Mo, the Outer Disciple Competition is starting soon!”

Li Feng shouted excitedly when he saw Su Mo.

“Starting soon? How can it be that early?”

Su Mo was confused, so he asked.

It was now three months away from the new year! The Outer Disciple Competition seemed to usually take place just before the new year!

“Haha! The notice has just been released on the island!”

Li Feng laughed and excitedly said, “The Outer Disciple Competition will officially commence one and a half months from now!”

“One and a half months later!” Su Mo said as he nodded.

There was plenty of time.

“Yeah! I heard that the Outer Disciple Competition’s always held one month before the new year.”

Li Feng said as his rubbed his fists. “I want to showcase myself in the Competition as well!”

“Hehe, you’ve reached the Lv 2 Spiritual Martial Realm?” Su Mo said after he looked at Li Feng.

Li Feng’s Qi from his body was several times stronger than the previous time at Guanwu City.

“Hehe! It’s all thanks to you!” Li Feng said.

His eyes were beaming with gratitude. “If not for the elixirs you’ve exchanged for me, my cultivation would not have progressed so quickly!”

“Elixirs are just a helping tool, it still comes down to your good talent!” Su Mo said as he shook his head.

Previously, Li Feng’s cultivation was already at the peak Lv 1 Spiritual Martial Realm. Even without the elixirs, breaking through to Lv 2 Spiritual Martial Realm was just a matter of time.

“Fight on, try your best to reach Lv 3 Spiritual Martial Realm before the Competition!” Su Mo said with an encouraging tone.

“Yes, I’ll do my best!”

Li Feng nodded and said, “I’ll get on with my cultivation then, I can’t waste time anymore!”

Li Feng went straight to his room.

“One and a half months later?”

Su Mo murmured, his expression showed signs of anticipation.

Just as Su Mo was about to return to his room, another person came into the courtyard.

“Senior Brother Wang!”

Su Mo suddenly smiled.

It was Outer Elder Wang Hui, Su Mo’s Senior Brother.

“Junior Brother, your fight at Guanwu City was amazing…” Wang Hui smiled and said.

But Wang Hui stopped before he finished his words.

“Your… your cultivation? You’ve reached the Peak Lv 4 Spiritual Martial Realm?” Wang Hui asked, he was in awe.

When he saw Su Mo last time, Su Mo was only at the peak Lv 2 Spiritual Martial Realm. After merely a few months, Su Mo had reached the Peak Lv 4 Spiritual Martial Realm.

Even as an Outer Elder, Wang Hui was shocked at Su Mo’s speed of cultivation.

He was indeed an extraordinary talent!

This was way beyond the limitations of the Martial Soul!

“Master indeed had foresight!” Wang Hui thought to himself.

“Hehe! My cultivation is indeed currently at the Peak Lv 4 Spiritual Martial Realm!” Su Mo smiled and said.

Su Mo then showed Wang Hui to the stone bench.

“Senior Brother, I’ll definitely enter the top 10 and strive to be first in the coming Outer Disciple Competition!” Su Mo smiled confidently and said.

“Hehe!”

Wang Hui shook his head and did not take Su Mo seriously. “My purpose of seeing you today is exactly about the Outer Disciple Competition!”

“Oh! Please speak!”

Su Mo stopped smiling as he spoke. He gazed at Wang Hui.

Wang Hui paused and collected his thoughts.

“The Outer Disciple Competition’s a major annual event in the outer gate and it’s extremely special!

“In the Competition, the top 100 participants will be rewarded, and special rewards will be reserved for the top 10!

“You don’t have to think about entering the top 10, but with your ability to fight above your level of cultivation, it’ll be impressive enough if you enter into the top 100!

“Let’s wait till next year, to strive for the top 10 after your cultivation improves!

“Once you’ve become one of the Top 10 Outer Disciples, you’ll be Master’s pro-disciple!

“Hence, you can’t be lax with your cultivation! You can ask me if there’s anything you don’t understand!”

Wang Hui briefly talked about the key points of the Competition and encouraged Su Mo at the same time.

Su Mo took a deep breath and felt grateful.

Senior Brother Wang was quite concerned about him, and truly deserved his respect.

“Don’t worry, Senior Brother!”

Su Mo said seriously. “You don’t have to wait for a year. I’ll be in the top 10 of this year’s competition for sure, even getting into the first position’s possible!”

Su Mo was not blindly confident, he was about to break through on his cultivation.

Once he reached Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm, his strength would increase tremendously again.

Furthermore, he had yet to use the elixirs that he had exchanged at the Purple Gold Hall.

Be it cultivation or human body, he could improve again before the Competition.

“Sigh! You’re… you’re too arrogant!”

After hearing what Su Mo had said, Wang Hui frowned as he replied.

Su Mo’s arrogance made Wang Hui feel helpless.

“Do you know the strength of the Top 10 Outer Disciples?”

“All of them are at the Peak Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm, with strong combat strength. Each individual has the ability to kill enemies above their cultivation level!

“It’ll be impossible for you to become number one in the outer gate!

“Nangong Linjue, number one in the outer gate, has even greater combat strength. In the national war mission at Underhero City, he has killed 21 martial artists of Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm, and 86 martial artists of Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm. He was invincible!

“You can even say, though his cultivation is at the Peak Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm, only a few inner disciples of Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm can take him on!

“Now, do you still think you can beat him?”

Wang Hui described the situation of the Top 10 Outer Disciples to Su Mo, hoping that Su Mo could see the gap between them.

This should curb his arrogance, preventing Su Mo from becoming blindly confident.

“Is Nangong Linjue a member of the Sky Alliance?” Su Mo asked after a pause.

“Indeed! Nangong Linjue’s a member of the Sky Alliance!”

Wang Hui nodded and said. “Apart from him, Duan Bingye is ranked second, Li Jiandong fourth, Yi Xiaoguang seventh and He Yangjun ninth, all are members of the Sky Alliance.”

After Wang Hui had spoken, he remembered that Su Mo had grudges against the Sky Alliance, and reminded Su Mo, “Be careful during the competition. If you come across an expert from the Sky Alliance you can’t deal with them, give up early!”

Su Mo kept quiet and listened to Wang Hui, not uttering a word.

But Su Mo’s eyes were glittering fiercely.

“Sky Alliance? I will destroy all of you in the Outer Disciple Competition!”
