Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
In the True Sage Territory, Su Mo sat high in the air as the Sword Radiance surrounding him shone brilliantly. The 100 Natal Spiritual Swords that danced around him glowed with a mesmerizing light.
On the foreground of the green platform, Ju Mo’s face hardened as the aura around him churned, preparing to meet the next attack.
“Ten Direction Natal Spiritual Sword Snake Array! Go!”
At where he was standing, Su Mo yelled out softly before pointing towards that direction of Ju Mo.
In an instant, ten Natal Spiritual Swords flew forth, piercing through the sky towards Ju Mo.
The ten long swords were joined from hilt to tip to become a unified body. Like a Spiritual Snake, it was very life-like.
The power of this Spiritual Snake was high and it was almost as strong as Su Mo’s top attack.
First of all, the ten Spiritiual Swords were linked together and thus they were able to complement each other’s strength, increasing their overall power.
Furthermore, their power gained an additional boost due to Su Mo’s Sword Fighting Souls.
This Ten Direction Natal Spiritual Sword Snake Array was the newest skill that Su Mo had learned. Although he had only cultivated for two days, he had already reached a point where he was familiar with the moves and could control them.
This sword formation was formed with a hundred Natal Spiritual Swords. Ten swords in one group and ten groups in total. These swords could transform to become Spiritual Snakes that greatly increased their overall strength.
The speed of Spiritual Snake was so fast, one could not keep up with its speed with their own eyes alone. As it sped through the air, it headed straight for Ju Mo’s brain.
Ju Mo was fully prepared as he roared out once and instantly brought both of his fists in front of himself in order to block.
Another explosion sounded as the Spiritual Snake was blown out.
However, although the Spiritual Snake was blown apart, the ten Natal Spiritual Swords remained intact as they gathered together again.
Just as Ju Mo blew the Spiritual Snake apart, another Spiritual Snake formed again and it sped towards Ju Mo, directly heading for his chest.
Ju Mo threw another punch, causing the second Spiritual Snake to fall apart again.
However, in the next moment, Su Mo gestured a few times and eight snakes slithered out in all directions from his front, back, up, down, right and left directions. Then, the snakes all headed towards Ju Mo for a simultaneous attack.
“Not good!” Ju Mo’s heart jumped in surprise. Although he was unrivalled based on strength alone and his defensive power was also very strong, he had not reached a stage where he would be able to simultaneously tear the 8 snakes apart.
Not willing to stand still and wait for his own death, Ju Mo stomped down once and flew up into the sky. Then, he headed straight to meet the two Spiritual Snakes that flew towards him.
Pushing both fists forward, the two Spiritual Snakes in the sky were shattered apart. However, this one move was a mistake as the remaining eight Spiritual Snakes immediately surrounded him.
Ju Mo’s face changed drastically as the eight Spiritual Snakes attacked simultaneously, he simply had no time to defend himself.
The speed of these eight Spiritual Snakes were at their maximum as they pierced through the sky, aiming for Ju Mo’s chest, back, waist, belly and other attack points.
Looking at the eight snakes that neared him, Ju Mo immediately roared out as the Dark Force in his body churned and morphed into a vortex that covered his entire body.
At the same time, brilliant light in his hands flashed and he drew out a large shield.
As he brought the shield out to block his front, his other hand clenched into a fist and he punched out at the incoming Spiritual Snake.
Explosive sounds cried out, causing ear drums to ring. Then, a fiery red light shot out through the sky.
A piercing sound rang out and fresh blood spurted up into the sky.
Ju Mo managed to block four Spiritual Snakes and he turned to dodge two more. However, the two remaining snakes pierced through the critical points of the Dark Forces in his left arm and right leg.
The Spiritual Snakes immediately turned back once they hit their target. Then, the ten snakes hovered in mid air over Ju Mo’s front, back, right, left and up down directions, completely surrounding him.
“Ju Mo, you have been defeated! Admit your loss!”
Su Mo stood high in the skies and he yelled out. He did not attack again and only controlled the ten Spiritual Snakes to surround Ju Mo and trap him on the spot.
Ju Mo’s face was stunned as fresh blood continued to pour out from him. Looking at the ten Spiritual Snakes around him, his heart started to palpitate and he quickly swept his mind for ideas to overcome his current predicament.
However, the attack force of these ten Spiritual Snakes was very high and their speed was also shocking. He did not have any clue as to how he would defend himself against the snakes.
Ju Mo’s face turned dark. He still wanted to counter the attack but with the ten Spiritual Snakes that surrounded him, he would be given a heavy strike the moment he moved.
Looking at the scene before them, the crowd was stunned.
Ju Mo who was unrivalled in strength alone was defeated!
Su Mo, who was only a Rank 6 Martial Emperor had become a foe who was unmatched amongst all the Martial Emperors.
No one had imagined that Ju Mo with his godly battle powers would actually be defeated so quickly.
Silence engulfed the fighting world as the million other martial artists were stunned speechless by what they saw.
Su Mo really deserved his name as the first ranked on the True Sage Stele!
Dark, unpleasant looks were plastered on the Giant Beings, the Grand Priests as well as the rest of the Sorcerer Tribe members. Even You Tianhan’s face had shrivelled up in displeasure.
On the other hand, Ren Yundu, Xie Bin, Instructor Mu Li and those who were familiar with Su Mo were smiling brightly.
Especially Instructor Mu Li, who was relieved and also surprised. Su Mo’s Natal Spiritual Swords were constructed with the resources that she had provided him.
In such a short period of time, Su Mo had not only constructed the Natal Spiritual Swords, he had also cultivated the Natal Spiritual Sword Array to a point where he could display it at a comfortable level in battle.
She could not comprehend this talent!
Sage of Swords Xiao Yao’s eyes shone brilliantly as he nodded his head inwardly. Although Su Mo’s Ten Directions Natal Spiritual Sword Snake Array wasn’t exceptional, it was still pretty remarkable.
It wasn’t easy for him, a Rank 6 Marital Emperor to be able to smoothly control the Ten Directions Natal Spiritual Sword Snake Array.
Inside the True Sage Territory.
A short moment later, Ju Mo sighed out loud and gazed at Su Mo before saying in a deep voice, “you are ranked first on the True Sage Board, I admit defeat!”
Ju Mo wasn’t going to fight anymore. Although he still had some measures up his sleeve, they were moves that would take a toll on his life. Hence, he was not willing to use them at that point.
Although losing this way was shameful for him, he was a person who never worried about others’ view of him. Instead, his heart was actually beating in excitement at that point.
Ever since he entered the way of martial arts, he had never lost to anyone of the same rank as him. This time, someone who was actually a lower rank had defeated him.
That gave him a big stimulus as he finally had a target to aim for.
Everyone else said that he was a battle maniac but he only wanted to find someone who could defeat him. Since he had always been sitting on a high chair, he had already lost a target.
For his journey this time to the True Sage Realm, he would have challenged Jiang Shenye if it wasn’t for Su Mo.
Now that he had really lost, Ju Mo wasn’t entirely disappointed. Instead, a very strong drive had risen within him.
Upon hearing Ju Mo’s words, Su Mo nodded his head. And then, with a thought, the ten Spiritual Snakes morphed back into a hundred Natal Spiritual Swords before being returned to his mind.
“Su Mo, hope that we have another chance for a battle!” Ju Mo said out loud and with that, he prepared to leave the stage.
“Your strength is strong, it is just that your measures are too simple!” Su Mo said in a deep voice. Ju Mo was sufficiently strong but his attacks were too simple and were hence very weak.
“Indeed!” Ju Mo was slightly shocked upon hearing his words, then, he slightly nodded his head.
He was clear on that fact. However, he had always thought that his strength was sufficiently high and he would be able to overcome anything based on that alone. Hence, he disregarded cultivating most other skills.
Yet, he knew that this way of thinking was wrong now. If he had cultivated a sufficient amount of skills, he might not have lost this time round.
“Goodbye!” Ju Mo waved at Su Mo before he turned around and flew off the platform, instantly disappearing.
Then, Su Mo backed off the platform after Ju Mo’s name disappeared from the True Sage Stele.
The remaining three geniuses who had yet to challenge their third round resumed their challenges. After three more battles, the third round finally ended.
At the end of it all, 48 geniuses were left as 48 names remained on the True Sage Stele.
Then, the massive green platform slowly disappeared.
At the same time, all the 48 names slowly vibrated on the True Sage Stele as they were arranged into a neat list. Gradually, these names were engraved on the stele as though they were carved on it.
“We have left our names on the stele!” As the remaining geniuses saw this, aside from Su Mo, they all began to smile.
