Warrior's Promise

Translator: Transn  Editor: Transn

Su Mo fixed his gaze on the crystal that the elder was holding, refusing to budge.

He had never expected an Earth Class Martial Soul to be auctioned!

He could feel his heart racing twice as fast.

Su Mo was 100 times more excited than the day before when he had won over 6,000 Spiritual Stones.

The Earth Class Martial Soul that was trapped in the Soul-sealing Crystal would be the hope for his Devouring Martial Spirit to advance to Earth Class.

As long as his Martial Spirit could advance to Earth Class, his talent would be enhanced as well. He would soon be able to defeat Duan Jingtian!

His strength would also improve rapidly and within four years, he would be able to go to Central Continent and look for Xi'er!

"Everything is possible once his Martial Spirit advances to Earth Class!"

Shortly, Su Mo calmed himself down.

He was waiting for the elder to announce the minimum bid.

The auction hall had turned silent abruptly once the excitement was over.

It was unexpectedly quiet.

Everyone was eyeing anxiously at the Soul-sealing Crystal that the elder was holding.

Su Mo, Yan Ba, and Xiang Bo were all determined to have it.

The elder looked around and saw the expressions of the people. He smiled and said, "The minimum bid for this treasure is 1,000 Lower Spiritual Stones. Every increment mustn't be less than 500!"

There was still silence after the elder had announced the minimum bid.

Su Mo waited for the others to bid.

He had to control himself. If not, the price would be jacked up to a humongous amount.

After a short while, someone finally shouted out a price.

"I'll pay 1,500 Spiritual Stones!"

After the first bid, the people were crazily bidding for it.

"2,000 Spiritual Stones!"

"2,500!"

"3,500!"

The price shot up crazily.

Many of them bid for the treasure with their entire wealth.

Su Mo did not bid, and yet he frowned. He had only 6,000 over Lower Spiritual Stones in total.

It would not be enough for this treasure.

He turned to Luo Qianfan and Luo Huan and asked, "Will you be bidding for this treasure?"

Both of them did not bid so Su Mo was not sure if they would be vying for the treasure.

Luo Qianfan sized Su Mo up and smiled, "Su Mo, are you interested in this treasure? If I remember correctly, you've comprehended sword will."

At the Outer Disciple Competition, Su Mo had revealed his sword will. Although many disciples did not know that was the sword will, Luo Qianfan was well aware of it.

"This treasure's extremely important to me! If you can, I hope you'll help me!" Su Mo nodded and said.

Luo Qianfan's eyes brightened and said, "Of course, I'll help you!"

Having said that, Luo Qianfan half-jokingly said, "However, you would owe me a favor! Should I need your help in future, you must help me!"

Su Mo immediately nodded his head and said, "As long as it doesn't go against my principle and it's something within my ability, I'll definitely help you!"

"Great!"

Luo Qianfan smiled more radiantly and said, "Su Mo, I trust you!"

Su Mo's promise was more valuable to Luo Qianfan as compared to the Earth Class Martial Soul.

Although the Martial Soul was precious and could help him comprehend the saber will in future, that was just a hope and it might not happen!

Luo Qianfan took out a storage bag and passed to Su Mo. He said, "There are 15,000 Lower Spiritual Stones in it. It should be enough for the bid!"

Su Mo raised his eyebrows. Luo Qianfan was filthy rich!

With his family background, Su Mo would have guessed it.

With the 15,000 Spiritual Stones from Luo Qianfan, Su Mo had a total of over 20,000 Spiritual Stones. He felt more at ease now.

There were not many people left for the bid.

The bid had sky-rocketed to 6,000 Lower Spiritual Stones.

"8,000 Spiritual Stones!" Su Mo shouted. He had added 2,000 Spiritual Stones at one go.

There was silence after his bid.

After a while, there was an uproar.

"Who is this person?"

"This is crazy!"

"Rich people call the shot!"

Su Mo raised the bid to eliminate a lot of competition.

Although there were many people at the auction, not many were wealthy.

Xiang Bo looked ferocious in the private room. He did not have many Spiritual Stones. After borrowing from Hong Tengyun and Tong Yu, he had just a total of 8,000 Spiritual Stones.

One bid from Su Mo and he was immediately kicked out.

"Su Mo! You'd better watch out!"

Xiang Bo gritted his teeth and was seething with anger.

He had not been able to get his hands on "Mountain-cutting Sabermanship" and now, likewise for the Earth Class Martial Soul. He was enraged.

He was no match for Yan Ba so he dared not pick on him, hence he took it all out on Su Mo.

Yan Ba was gloomy as well. He had used up most of his Spiritual Stones bidding for the "Mountain-cutting Bladesmanship". He had not much left now!

"Junior Brother Wei, how many Spiritual Stones do you have? Please lend me all of them!" Yan Ba looked at the youth in grey and said.

"Senior Brother Yan, we should help each other since we're both Disciples of the Sky Alliance!"

The youth smiled and threw out a pile of Spiritual Stones.

"Senior Brother Yan, this is all I have, about 3,000 Lower Spiritual Stones!" he said.

"Ok!"

Yan Ba nodded and quickly kept the Spritual Stones. He started to bid again, "9,000 Spiritual Stones!"

"12,000!"

The moment Yan Ba finished bidding, Su Mo jacked up the price again. He had the money now and did not want to waste time. He left no room for other bidders to compete with him.

OOSH!

The crowd that was outside gasped. A sharp increase of 3,000 Spiritual Stones. This must be a parvenu!

Ling Muchen and Fei Kuang were stunned.

They did not have many Spiritual Stones and have used up some for two items at the earlier auctions. They did not qualify to participate in this bid.

POOH!

Yan Ba spurted out the tea that he was about to drink when Su Mo called out his bid.

"Su Mo is asking for trouble!"

Yan Ba's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He had just borrowed 3,000 over Spiritual Stones but that only allowed him to bid once.

"Brother, do you have any Spiritual Stones?"

Yan Ba looked at his younger brother, Yan Qi, and asked.

Yan Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, I have only 50 pieces of Spiritual Stones!"

Yan Ba sighed. He had not expected Yan Qi to have many Spiritual Stones as his cultivation was very low.

Yan Ba looked gloomy and depressed.

No matter how unwilling he was, without Spiritual Stones, he could only give up on the bid!

"Brother, we need not compete with Su Mo!" Yan Qi suddenly said with a cunning smile.

"Eh? What do you mean?"

Yan Ba was baffled and did not understand what he meant.

"Let Su Mo have the Earth Class Martial Soul!"

Yan Qi said with an evil smile, "Let's kill him later. Whatever he has will belong to us!"

"Hahaha!"

Yan Ba looked startled and then laughed out loud. He said, "Brother, thanks for your reminder. How can I forget such a simple method!"

Yan Ba was elated and said, "Let Su Mo have it! Anyway, it will be mine!"

Yan Ba looked relaxed as though he would definitely get it from Su Mo.
