Warrior's Promise

“Su Mo, I’ve recovered! I’ve really recovered!” Li Feng exclaimed, “Not only did I recover my cultivation, but I also leveled up!”

“Yes! Congratulations!”

Su Mo nodded with a smile, took out a storage ring, and handed it to Li Feng. “Take this storage ring. It’s full of cultivating resources!”

“Cultivating resources?”

Li Feng was startled, instead of accepting it, he shook his head and said, “Su Mo, I can’t take this. I already owe you too much for me to ever repay you!”

Li Feng refused Su Mo’s gift. After all, he and his family had lived off the Sus and were even treated like elders for the last six months. He already owed Su Mo a lot.

“I’m not asking you to repay me!” Su Mo laughed and then said seriously, “Li Feng, take it if you are my brother!”

“This…!” Li Feng still hesitated.

Su Mo shook his head and said, “Li Feng, your cultivation is too low right now. If you don’t level up, you won’t be able to roam the world with me!”

“Uh…”

Li Feng was speechless and then replied, smiling, “Su Mo, how could I compare with you? You’re the special genius, not me. I’m better off just cultivating peacefully!”

“Cultivating peacefully? I’m afraid that won’t be possible!” Su Mo shook his head and sighed. “I can’t stay for long in Skymoon Country. The Sus and Gale Island are all leaving the country, possibly even Hong Domain!”

“What?”

Li Feng’s expression changed and asked hurriedly, “What on earth happened?”

“Things are changing in Hong Domain, and Gale Island is in danger!” Su Mo sighed and said, “So, please take these cultivating resources and try to increase your strength! Even if you can’t help me, at least you’ll be able to protect yourself.”

After some silent contemplation, Li Feng took the storage ring, nodded his head gravely, and said, “Su Mo, don’t worry! I’ll try my best to increase my strength!”

“Alright!” Su Mo smiled and nodded.

He gave Li Feng these resources both to help him increase his strength and make up for the pain of losing his cultivation.

However, Su Mo never expected how much Li Feng would accomplish in the future, and that Li Feng would become his strongest companion. Of course, this would come up later!

After chatting with Li Feng for a while, Su Mo left his place and returned to his own yard.

After Su Mo left, Li Feng opened the storage ring and instantly froze!

“Five… five million Lower Spiritual Stones! 500 Lv 3 Spiritual Herbs!”

Li Feng was stunned to the core. He had expected a couple thousand Spiritual Stones or a few dozen Spiritual Herbs, since Su Mo was probably so powerful that these resources meant nothing to him.

However, what he got was several hundred times of what he expected!

He managed to calm his shock after a long time.

“Hm? What’s this?”

Suddenly, he found a singular jade note in the storage ring.

He sent his mind into the note and found it to be a cultivation skill.

Su Mo expanded on this cultivation skill and included his own instructions and thoughts.

It was a Body Refining Skill, named Elephant’s Strength Skill.

After Su Mo returned to his own yard, he began cultivating.

He was cultivating Archean Dragonesque Elephant Skill, which was the upgraded version of Elephant’s Strength Skill. Su Mo had familiarized himself with it and was cultivating it for the first time.

Archean Dragonesque Elephant Skill was an Upper Lv 9 Body Refining Skill. It could make a martial artist as strong as an Archean Dragonesque Elephant with earth shattering power, only second to Supreme Emperors.

The cultivation skill had 24 realms. The first 15 were only slightly different from Elephant’s Strength Skill, but still obviously more refined and powerful.

A realm of Archean Dragonesque Elephant Skill was much stronger than the same realm in Elephant’s Strength Skill.

Su Mo sighed and began to cultivate Archean Dragonesque Elephant Skill. It had the same origin as Elephant’s Strength Skill, so he skipped the first part and directly began cultivating at the realm he had reached before.

Instead of devouring large amounts of Spiritual Stones, he relied only on his Martial Soul to absorb aura from heaven and earth. This was because he was unfamiliar with Archean Dragonesque Elephant Skill and wanted to take it slow.

The aura transformed in Su Mo’s body into small golden elephants that entered his flesh.

These small elephants were covered in golden scales and emanated faint dragon power.

Each small entity gave off a powerful aura.

This was what Archean Dragonesque Elephants looked like!

As time trickled by, Su Mo’s physical strength increased steadily.

After four hours, Su Mo stopped. He had completely familiarized himself with the method and began devouring Spiritual Stones.

“I’m currently at Lv 8 True Spirit Realm, so I should have no problem increasing my physical strength to that of a Lv 1 Enlightenment Realm martial artist!” He thought.

If his physical strength reached Lv 1 Enlightenment Realm, it would just be two realms above his cultivation, so it was unlikely that his body would absorb his Genuine Vitality.

A half step to the Enlightenment Realm was only a stage in cultivation, not a real realm.

Rustle!

Su Mo waved his hand, and a large pile of 10,000,000 Lower Spiritual Stones appeared.

“Devour!”

Su Mo slightly activated his Martial Soul, and all the Spiritual Stones instantly flew toward him and exploded, forming a dense sea of Spiritual Qi.

He devoured furiously, and golden shadows of Archean Dragonesque Elephant kept appearing on his body. His physical strength soared.

After a while, all the Spiritual Stones were absorbed, but Su Mo’s physical strength had yet to level up. He was still a distance away from Lv 1 Enlightenment Realm.

“Again!”

Su Mo was not surprised, as he was familiar with his body’s needs. He took out another 10,000,000 Lower Spiritual Stones and began to devour.

After all of these stones were used up, his strength made great strides to equal that of a martial artist at the peak of Lv 1 Enlightenment Realm.

Huff!

Su Mo let out a sigh. Both his physical strength and cultivation required more and more Spiritual Stones to improve.

Even powers such as Gale Island could not support the rate of his consumption.

“It seems like I need to look for Medium Spiritual Stone, since Lower Spiritual Stones are becoming useless.” Su Mo thought.

At the rate he was going, he might need billions of Lower Spiritual Stones every time after reaching higher realms.
