Chapter 199: Another Breakthrough

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

In the room, Su Mo was caught in a near death situation.

“Elephant’s Strength Skill!”

At the critical moment, Su Mo shouted and rapidly switched to the Body Refining Skill cultivation method, Elephant’s Strength Skill.

Suddenly, Su Mo’s internal Spiritual Qi swiftly turned into an enormous Virtual Elephant which roared silently and rapidly merged into his flesh and blood.

Subsequently, one after another, virtual elephants appeared. There were 12 virtual elephants arising one by one and gradually merging into Su Mo’s body.

Su Mo’s pressure subsided. Shortly after, the Spiritual Qi in his body decreased by half.

Su Mo had already experience that while cultivating the Elephant’s Strength Skill, his Spiritual Qi would turn into an enormous virtual elephant and not a small virtual elephant.

That was when he devoured huge volume of the elixir. So long as Su Mo absorbed enough Spiritual Qi, it would not be reduced to small virtual elephants but huge virtual elephants.

At this moment, Su Mo’s human body’s strength was growing very fast, beyond the normal progression.

Within a few breaths, Su Mo’s body strength increased by another level. His current body strength alone could battle with a martial artist of Lv 8 Spiritual Martial Realm.

Soon after, Su Mo stopped revolving Elephant’s Strength Skill and worked on refining his Spiritual Qi to strengthen the Spiritual Spiral’s genuine Qi.

His current body realm had already far exceeded his cultivation realm. Right now, he should be upgrading his genuine Qi’s cultivation.

The Spiritual Qi in Su Mo’s body had already been half consumed by the Elephant’s Strength Skill, but the Spiritual Qi remained incomparably vast. However, it was still under control within his acceptable range.

The seven Spiritual Spirals in Su Mo’s body were revolving wildly, and massive Spiritual Qi was being refined into genuine Qi.

Endless genuine Qi was boiling within the Spiritual Spirals and they were rapidly expanding.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

There was a noise like a shaking mountain and raging sea coming from Su Mo’s internal body. His bottleneck realm began to loosen up under such wild Spiritual Qi.

Boom!

With merely 10 breaths, the seven Spiritual Spirals in Su Mo’s body leapt over the limitation of cultivation and started to expand rapidly, actually doubling in size in the end.

Breakthrough! Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm!

After his cultivation breakthrough to Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm, there was still some Spiritual Qi inside Su Mo’s body that remained unrefined, so he did not stop and rest, but continued to refine his Spiritual Qi.

After a while, his cultivation was close to the middle stage of Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm. All the Spiritual Qi in his body had been refined.

Soon after, Su Mo got up and his body was surging with a strong breath.

Although Su Mo did not release the breath intentionally, it was tenfold stronger than when he was only at Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm.

“Time to go back to Gale Island.”

Su Mo smiled, and in the next moment, his breath converged.

It was time for Su Mo to return to Gale Island, as the year-end had already been over for one month.

Actually, Su Mo could have continued to stay at Imperial City to upgrade his cultivation to another level before returning to Gale Island.

But, after all these simultaneous breakthroughs, if he wanted another breaking point, it might take a longer period to solidify his cultivation and condense his genuine Qi.

Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to have another breakthrough in a short time span.

So Su Mo prepared to return to Gale Island.

As Su Mo walked out of his room, he went toward Luo Qianfan’s room and found him cultivating.

“I’m preparing to go back to Gale Island, do you want to follow me back?” Su Mo asked Luo Qianfan.

“I still need to do something in Imperial City, so won’t be leaving anytime soon.”

After saying that, Luo Qianfan looked closely at Su Mo and smiled, saying, “Su Mo, you are truly a rare genius, yet another breakthrough in your cultivation!”

“Hehe! Same goes for you!” Su Mo smiled and said.

Su Mo could tell that Luo Qianfan’s cultivation was at the Peak Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm and he was close to Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm.

Su Mo was shocked. It had not been long since he attained the Peak Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm.

Luo Qianfan’s cultivation progress was incredibly fast.

This was not like any other martial artist with Rank 8 Human Class Martial Soul’s cultivating talent at all. Even if Luo Qianfan’s family was powerful with rich resources, the Martial Soul ranking was a limitation to his cultivation.

No matter how many resources one had, an average Rank 8 Human Class Martial Soul martial artist’s cultivating speed would still fall shy of Luo Qianfan’s.

“As compared to you, my achievement is nothing!”

Luo Qianfan smiled.

Soon after, Luo Qianfan’s face became solemn and he said, “Su Mo, I don’t think its safe for you to go back to Gale Island now. Why don’t I ask Uncle Ming to send you back?”

Upon hearing, Su Mo pondered, shook his head and said, “No need to trouble Uncle Ming. I’ll wait till nightfall before I leave, then there should be no problem!”

During this period, Luo Qianfan helped Su Mo a lot, these were all personal favors.

Su Mo did not want to owe Luo Qianfan too much, hence he rejected his offer.

Moreover, his strength had been boosted during these few days, which made him feel more confident.

“I’m returning 15,000 Lower Spiritual Stones to you!”

Su Mo took out a storage pouch and handed it over to Luo Qianfan.

During the last auction, Su Mo borrowed 15,000 Lower Spiritual Stones from Luo Qianfan and still had not paid him back yet.

Luo Qianfan did not refuse and kept the Spiritual Stones be pensively saying, “Since you want to leave, I won’t stop you. Be careful along the way!”

“Ok!”

Su Mo nodded and left Luo Qianfan’s place. He went back to his room to wait till nightfall before he left.

…

After Su Mo left, Luo Qianfan sat on a stone bench in his yard, looking up the sky in a trance.

After a few moments, there were footsteps approaching. Luo Ming came up to Luo Qianfan.

“Qianfan!”

Luo Ming shouted at the entranced Luo Qianfan.

Luo Qianfan collected his wits, looked at Luo Ming and smiled, “Uncle Ming, please sit.”

Luo Ming sat opposite Luo Qianfan and asked, “Qianfan, you’re looking for me?”

Luo Qianfan pondered and said, “Uncle Ming, Su Mo will be leaving Imperial City tonight. Secretly escort him for a certain extent of the journey!”

“No problem, I’ll assure his safety back to Gale Island!”

Upon saying this, Luo Ming then asked, “Qianfan, Su Mo is a rare talent, but how is he as a person?”

Luo Qianfan smiled and said, “Su Mo is loyal and full of righteousness!”

“That’s good!”

Luo Ming nodded.

Luo Qianfan looked afar and his eyes flashed with a glimmer before he spoke plainly, saying, “Su Mo’s talent is extraordinary. In fact, his talent is better than those of the Four Talents of Skymoon Country. I’ve a premonition. In future, he could be one of the most important links when I counterbalance the four sects.”

When Luo Ming heard this, he was surprised. He knew Luo Qianfan valued Su Mo, but he never expected it to be to this extent.
