Warrior's Promise

Wu Ren Wang’s face turned purple as murderous rays shot from his eyes. The forces on his body circulated viciously, as though the seas had turned stormy with violent waves rushing upwards. His gaze remained fixated on Su Mo, as though he was an ancient beast that wanted to devour his enemy.

He was controlling himself. Otherwise, with his Level 9 Martial Emperor Cultivation, his force would be enough to shake the Heavens. However, the anger within him had already soared and he was struggling to contain it.

“Wu Ren Wang, are you not happy?” asked the Grand Priest lightly. He seemed to not care about Wu Ren Wang’s actions, as though he had already anticipated he would act this way.

“Grand Priest!”

Wu Ren Wang immediately saluted the Grand Priest and loudly responded, “Although my demonstration is inferior to Wu Chen, it is passable. I should at least have the qualifications to become the Young Priest, right?”

“That’s right!” the Grand Priest nodded his head. Those who passed the third round could become the Young Priest. However, he would only choose the one with the best results. If other people were not satisfied with the outcome, they could challenge him.

“I am not satisfied. I want a fight to the death with Wu Chen!” announced Wu Ren Wang loudly, his voice carrying his determination. Anyone who obstructed his way to be the Young Priest must die. They had to die! In this fight, he wouldn’t be the one to die. It will be Wu Chen!

And, even if he didn’t win, at least he wouldn’t die a wrongful death!

Of course, he was confident in his abilities, and he didn’t believe that Wu Chen was his match. The Grand Priest nodded his head and turned to face Su Mo, saying, “Wu Chen, Wu Ren Wang wants to challenge you. If you want to be the Young Priest, you must accept his challenge!”

Upon hearing this, Su Mo’s face turned serious, he knew this challenge would be a fight where their cultivation levels would be the same. Wu Ren Wang’s cultivation level would be suppressed to the same as his. As for this actual battle, he wasn’t afraid, but he also didn’t have the full confidence that he would win.

Wu Ren Wang was too strong. Not only did he have a special body constitution, he also had two Fighting Souls. Most importantly, even if Wu Ren Wang’s cultivation had been suppressed to the same level, he was still a Level 9 Martial Emperor. His martial skill and weapons were probably all in the Honourable Realm.

Of course, this still was not what worried Su Mo the most. His greatest worry was that Wu Tian Yu, Wu Chang Yuan, and all those who had gone to the Firmament World would expose him if he used his Fighting Soul in defense. However, due to the Young Priest position, he could not reject the challenge.

Sighing deeply and wearing a serious look on his face, Su Mo responded, “Grand Priest, I am willing to accept Wu Ren Wang’s challenge on one condition.”

“Oh? What condition?” upon hearing Su Mo’s words, the Grand Priest was slightly surprised.

“This fight cannot be conducted under the public’s eye. Only the Grand Priest and a few high ranked tribe members can watch it!” said Su Mo in a deep voice.

This was his only idea. If Wu Tian Yu and Wu Chang Yuan did not see him fight, the risk of exposing his identity would be greatly reduced. Granted, Wu Tian Yu and the others could have already told everything about Su Mo to the Grand Priest and the high ranked members when they returned to the Sorcerer Tribe.

However, as long as they did not personally witness it, it would be hard to recognize him based on words alone. After all, everything about him had changed. His appearance, his Dark Force, his Martial Soul had become a Fighting Soul, his power, and aura were all different from before.

As long as he was careful, and not let Wu Tian Yu and the rest feel his Fighting Soul’s power, the rest of the people should not be able to identify him.

“Not take place under the public’s eye? Why make such a request?” The Grand Priest was taken aback and everyone else also wore suspicious and stunned looks. They did not understand why Su Mo would make such a request. The challenge between the two, whether it was watched by the public or not, should not make a difference in the outcome!

“It is hard to say who would win in this challenge. Perhaps I will lose, so I do not want every tribe member to witness it!” continued Su Mo lightly. He made this excuse, which wasn’t really an excuse.

Upon hearing this, everyone was surprised. Wu Chen actually did not have confidence that he would win against Wu Ren Wang? However, once they thought things through, they realized the situation. Wu Ren Wang had two Fighting Souls, a special body constitution, and superior fighting strength. It was expected that Wu Chen would not have that much confidence.

Wu Ren Wang laughed coldly. Ever since he learned martial arts cultivation, not only within his tribe, but among numerous stars, those who were the same level as him had never defeated him. Even Wu Ling, who became the last Young Priest, had only beaten him by a small margin and after numerous exchanges. He could not achieve a convincing victory over him!

“Okay!” after silently considering, the Grand Priest nodded his head. This request was rather simple, and he saw no reason to reject it. No matter where they held their challenge, the Grand Priest thought, neither of them would die. Since the both of them were top geniuses of the tribe, the Grand Priest would not simply sit and watch one kill the other. After all, if either of them died, it would be the Sorcerer Tribe’s loss.

“Wu Ren Wang, what are you going to wager!” Su Mo turned towards Wu Ren Wang and asked in a loud voice.

Ten thousand Lower Spiritual Crystals was a massive wealth. He naturally did not want to pass it up.

“Humph! I hope you still have your life to use them!” Wu Ren Wang laughed coldly and casually waved his hand. A pile of Spiritual Crystals flew towards Su Mo. With so many people watching, he definitely would not dare to cheat Su Mo.

Su Mo’s face was cold and he did not say anything as he stored the ten thousand Lower Spiritual Crystals.

“Let’s bring the both of you into the starry space above us!” spoke the Grand Priest, and a strong, invisible force instantly swept Su Mo and Wu Ren Wang and pushed them beside the Grand Priest.

Then, the Grand Priest grasped Su Mo and Wu Ren Wang and the group disappeared. With that, the four priests and the key elders, who were quietly watching from the stands, twitched and flew into the sky, instantly disappearing. All the high ranked members followed the Grand Priest and flew into the starry space outside Heavenly Underworld Star.

As the spectators on the ground watched the key members of the Sorcerer Tribe disappear, they sighed to themselves. They also wanted to watch this high profile battle. However, their strengths were too little, and they simply did not have any ability to follow the Grand Priest.

Even the general elders like Wu Yuan could not follow. If they did manage to catch up, by the time they reached the others, the battle would probably have ended. Everyone sighed heavily, but none of them left the grounds because they still wanted to know the results.

The Grand Priest and the key elders would return a while later and they would know the outcome then.

“Wu Chen is dead meat!”

This thought was present in most people’s minds. Granted, in the three previous rounds, Wu Chen had displayed unthinkable talents and fighting awareness. However, it was still completely impossible for his fighting strength to exceed that of Wu Ren Wang!

After all, who was Wu Ren Wang?

He was the absolute genius in the Sorcerer Tribe, his fighting strength was insanely strong. Since he had never lost to anyone in the same cultivation level as him, he thought he was the king of the world and changed his name to Wu Ren Wang (King of the People).

Wu Ren Wang’s fighting strength was the top in Heavenly Underworld Star and even ten other nearby star constellations. In the previous Young Priest choosing ceremony, if the other genius Wu Ling didn’t possess his special treasures, Wu Ren Wang would certainly not have been defeated..

Even with his special treasures, Wu Ling had only managed to beat Wu Ren Wang by a hair, after a thousand exchanges. He did not even defeat Wu Ren Wang completely.

As everyone knew, Wu Ren Wang’s fighting strength was terrifying. Compared to him, it was almost certain that Wu Chen would lose.

Wu Tian Yu, Wu Yuan, and Wu Qiong all wore cold smiles on their faces. Wu Chen, who had just risen to power and had not yet obtained his glory, would become Wu Ren Wang’s stepping stone!

Even Wu Tian Yu, who had wanted to wait until the choosing ceremony was over to challenge Wu Chen and obtain a convincing victory over him, was satisfied. Guess that wouldn’t be needed now!
