Chapter 540: The Dumbfounded Senior Disciples

Su Mo’s two fingers touched slowly, allowing the Vital Spirits of Gold and Water properties to mix together. He then compressed the two elements together with his mind.

Pang!

The Blue Vital Spirit, Water property, immediately dissipated with a pop.

Su Mo frowned and tried with another strand of Water Vital Spirit again.

Pang! Pang! Pang!

He tried a dozen times, but the Water Vital Spirit dissipated every time.

“This won’t work!The Gold element is too powerful and the Water element is too weak!” Su Mo was getting frustrated. He had been successfull using Nirvana Cultivation Method for Gold property and Vast Sea Skill of Water property in the past.

Although they were both Lower Lv 6 Cultivation Skills, Su Mo had worked at Nirvana Cultivation Method for much longer and had already reached the fifth stage. His achievement had surpassed that of his Vast Sea Skill.

As a result, his Gold Vital Spirit was much stronger than his Water Vital Spirit.

The imbalance between the two elements made it very difficult to fuse them!

“Since earth enhances gold, let me try these two elements instead.”

Su Mo then began fusing the Earth element and the Gold element with his fingers.

Su Mo was not trying blindly. He had carefully considered the strength of the two elements. His Gold Vital Spirit and his Earth Vital Spirit were both powerful, although the latter was stronger.

Although his Mountains-Weight Skill was not well developed, it was a higher level of cultivation skill at Lv 6 Upper Grade. Su Mo had chosen to fuse the two elements because of this fact.

The two elements slowly danced between his fingers as Su Mo compressed them together.

As he had expected, neither of the elements dissipated.

Su Mo delighted in the results of his calculation. They did not dissipate immediately. There was a chance of fusing these two elements.

Su Mo carefully controlled these two strands of Vital Spirit and fused them together cautiously.

The two elements gradually entangled and began to fuse. After a short while, one dissipated with a pop.

Su Mo was surprised. It was his Gold Vital Spirit that had dissipated rather than his Earth Vital Spirit.

“The Earth element is actually stronger than the Gold element?” Su Mo was astonished. It seemed his Mountains-Weight Skill was impressive, indeed.

As Su Mo was preparing for another attempt, a voice abruptly broke his concentration.

“Su Mo, come to the hall!” the voice was deep and authoritative. It was none other than, Huangfu Qing, the master of Towering Sky Peak.

Su Mo was startled. He recovered quickly and nodded while heading towards the hall.

When Su Mo entered the hall, he realized that apart from his master, Huangfu Qing, many others were present in the hall. There was Second Senior Sister, An Nuan; Seventh Senior Sister, Hua Suiyu; Eighth Senior Brother, Feng Shaoyu; Ninth Senior Brother, Yun Fei, and Tenth Senior Brother, Tian Chen.

“Greetings, Master!” Su Mo bowed to Huangfu Qing.

“Take a seat!” Huangfu Qing replied.

Su Mo sat down beside Tian Chen.

Huangfu Qing glanced at his disciples while briefly pondering his words. He then announced loudly, “The Martial Arts Competition of Nine Peaks will commence in five days. Suiyu, Shaoyu, and Su Mo; the three of you will attend the competition this time.”

“Yes, Master!” Su Mo replied, but Hua Suiyu and Feng Shaoyu did not. They were startled by Huangfu Qing’s order.

The Martial Arts Competition at Nine Peaks had historically catered only to the experts of the Outer Gate. The weaker martial artists would only suffer a humiliating defeat in this competition.

Why would Huangfu Qing request that Su Mo take part in the competition?

They turned around to look at Su Mo. Their confusion was soon overtaken by that of shock.

“What?”

“Lv 7 Enlightenment Realm? How’s this possible?”

Both Hua Suiyu and Feng Shaoyu were stunned. They looked at Su Mo in disbelief.

Yunfei was also stunned!

However, Tian Chen was the most dumbfounded among them. He trembled with shock and unintentionally released his aura, crushing his chair into pieces.

“What…what…what…!” Tian Chen’s eyes opened wide with disbelief, as he stammered until he was completely speechless.

How is this even possible? He thought to himself.

Wasn’t he only at Lv 5 Enlightenment Realm when he came back?

It has only been two months and he actually increased his cultivation by two levels!

“11th Junior Brother, how did you cultivate?” Tian Chen could no longer refrain himself from asking Su Mo aloud.

Hua Suiyu, Yun Fei, and Feng Shaoyu all stared at Su Mo intently. They were also very curious about the answer.

How did Su Mo reach Lv 7 Enlightenment Realm in such a short time? This was totally absurd!

Hua Suiyu was particularly shocked. She vividly remembered that Su Mo was only at the True Spirit Realm when he first joined Towering Sky Peak. She had gone into seclusion once; his cultivation skills were catching up with hers!

Among all the Senior Brothers and Sisters; only Second Senior Sister, An Nuan, was not surprised.

An Nuan knew that Su Mo could devour others’ energy; however, she still frowned upon the realization that Su Mo’s cultivation level had grown so quickly.

How many people did he devour in order to progress so quickly in such a short time!

An Nuan felt the need to investigate Su Mo thoroughly. If he truly was a ruthless murderer, she had to stop him.

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, he decided he had better answer Tian Chen’s question. Su Mo laughed hallowly and said, “Well…I cultivated by absorbing Spiritual Stones!”

Technically speaking, Su Mo was not lying. He did cultivate by absorbing Spiritual Stones. He knew, however, that he was doing it at a terrifying speed!

The response left the entire group dumbstruck. Absorbing Spiritual Stones?

That’s bullshit!

All of them also absorbed Spiritual Stones frequently. How could he progress so quickly by absorbing Spiritual Stones?

An Enlightenment Realm martial artist could absorb, at most, several thousand Medium Spiritual Stones per day and this required continuous cultivation.

Even if he cultivated nonstop by absorbing Spiritual Stones, it would take at least 100 days for him to break through one level of cultivation!

They did not believe Su Mo. They did not ask any further questions, after all, it was his privacy.

“That’s enough!” Huangfu Qing waved his hand to quiet them.

He was indifferent to the inquiries regarding Su Mo’s cultivation skills. He was the master, after all.

“The three of you must do your utmost for this upcoming Martial Arts Competition. I will not tolerate insult to the reputation of Towering Sky Peak. For those of you who perform extraordinarily well, I’ll reward you handsomely!” Huangfu Qing said in a deep voice.

“Yes, Master!” they replied in unison.

Su Mo took a moment and began checking on the progress of Seventh Senior Sister, Hua Suiyu, and Eighth Senior Brother, Feng Shaoyu. He realized that their cultivation had shot up rapidly as well.

Hua Suiyu was at the peak of Lv 8 Enlightenment Realm and getting very close to Lv 9.

Feng Shaoyu’s cultivation had increased by an even greater margin; he had reached Lv 6 Enlightenment Realm. Su Mo remembered that he was only at Lv 4 four months ago.

Su Mo could not help but be impressed by the few disciples of Towering Sky Peak. They were all peerless geniuses, indeed.

Ninth Senior Brother, Yun Fei, had also been progressing decently. He had reached Lv 5 Enlightenment Realm.
