Warrior's Promise

"We have various swords, what type do you want?"

The thin youth said, pointing to one of the weapon frames. He added, "The weapons on this frame are all Upper Lv 2."

Su Mo looked in the direction the youth was pointing.

The frame that the youth pointed to was brilliant and full of swords of all kinds.

There were normal long swords, huge swords, daggers, heavy swords, and soft swords.

"That one looks good, let me have a look!" Su Mo said, pointing to a huge sword.

It was a huge silver sword about two meters long. It looked very domineering.

The youth took down the huge sword and handed it to him.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Holding the sword, Su Mo casually brandished it but then shook his head.

It was too big for him.

He immediately gave the sword back.

"Which is the best Upper Lv 2 sword here?"

Su Mo carefully observed the swords on the weapon frame but could not figure out which one was best.

Although these swords were of the same grade they still held differences.

"Which one is the best?"

The youth muttered. He looked up and said, "I have one rare sword of top quality, but I'm afraid you can't use it."

"Oh, what sword? Can I look at it?"

Su Mo was interested.

"I can't use it?"

"Why would that be?"

"It's only a matter of suitability!"

The youth nodded gently. He went to the frame and took a black sword from the bottom of the frame.

The sword was equipped with a sword sheath, and both the sheath and hilt were pitch-black.

Su Mo looked puzzled. The sword looked ordinary. It did not stand out at all.

"Here it is. Take it!"

The youth held the black sword with a glimmer of a smile, and then casually threw it to Su Mo.

Although the youth baffled Su Mo by throwing the sword directly to him, Su Mo still extended his hands to take it.

Huh?

The moment Su Mo gripped onto the black sword, he could feel its weight. His eyes lit up immediately.

"Heavy!"

"What a heavy sword!"

Su Mo felt that the black sword in his hand was as heavy as a black hill.

But Su Mo still firmly gripped onto it.

If not for his strong human body, Su Mo could not even hold the sword without activating his genuine Qi.

"Huh?"

The youth was surprised that Su Mo could easily hold the black sword without flushing or gasping.

"Good job! That's pretty good!"

The youth came over with a smile and said, "I didn't expect you to have such strength. I misjudged you."

Failing to recognize Su Mo's cultivation, the youth had intended to tease him. He had not expected Su Mo to take the sword with little effort.

"What sword is this? Why is it so heavy?" Su Mo asked, gripping the black sword in his hand.

"It's called the Black-dark Sword. The Black-dark Sword was refined from heavy dark iron and black gold as the main materials. It weighs 5,400 kilograms. It's very tough and sharp!"

The youth explained.

"What?! 5,400 kilograms?!"

Li Feng, Zhou Xin and Niu Xiaohu were also shocked.

The sword weighed more than 5,000 kilograms!

"What did it mean?"

"How powerful would the blow be when it struck!"

Brilliance and excitement flashed in Su Mo's eyes.

This sword had been customized for him!

His human body force, which weighed between 15,000 and 20,000 kilograms, could match martial artists at Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm.

In addition to his cultivation of genuine Qi, Su Mo was not clear about his own force.

In any case, the Black-dark Sword suited him well.

Clang!

Su Mo drew the sword out and studied it carefully.

The Black-dark Sword was longer and wider than average long swords by one centimeter.

The sword was antique and simple with no shining brilliance.

But it was extremely sharp.

"Excellent! Great sword!"

Su Mo exclaimed and then asked, "How many contribution points is it?"

The youth did not answer. With a smile he asked, "Are you sure you want this long sword?"

"Yes! Is there a problem?" Su Mo asked, feeling puzzled.

"This sword is too heavy even for the Inner Disciples to use."

He shook his head and added, "Even if they could hold it, it would require strenuous effort to use it over time."

"So why not think twice?"

Su Mo could held Black-dark Sword, but the youth did not believe he could freely wield the sword.

After all, holding a sword was totally different from brandishing it.

"No need to think about it, I'll take this one," Su Mo said decisively.

He shook his head.

There wasn't a need to reconsider taking a sword that was suitable for him.

"Ok, since you've decided on it, I won't intervene."

The youth shook his head and added, "The Black-dark Sword costs 15,000 contribution points."

"15,000 contribution points?"

Su Mo nodded. The sword was expensive as he had expected, a dozen times more costly than Medium Lv 2 weapons.

Su Mo took out his jade identification badge and checked.

He found that there were 15,000 contribution points left.

Earlier, he had spent 85,000 contribution points to buy the Soul Crystals and elixirs.

However, he had a few hundred from past assignments.

He had just enough left to exchange for the sword.

Su Mo paid the 15,000 contribution points, packed up the Black-dark Sword, and left Purple Gold Hall with Li Feng, Zhou Xin and Niu Xiaohu.

"Senior Brother Su Mo, it's... it's too wasteful!"

On the way back, Li Feng, Zhou Xin and Niu Xiaohu had strange looks on their faces.

100,000 contribution points!

All 100,000 contribution points had been spent in a blink!

The three men followed behind Su Mo, feeling the pinch.

"Ah!"

Su Mo sighed gently and shook his head. He said, "I had too little to begin with!"

BANG!

BANG! BANG!

Li Feng, Zhou Xin and Niu Xiaohu were dumbfounded.

"Looking at the way you spend your contribution points, even if you had a million contribution points, it wouldn't be enough for you!"

Su Mo returned to the courtyard and went back to his room.

He hastily sat cross-legged on the floor.

Su Mo's eyes lit up again as he took out all the Beast Soul Crystals.

"So many Beast Souls! All of them are of Class 6 or Class 7 Lv 2. It will be easy for my Martial Soul to progress to Rank 9 Human Class!"

Su Mo said excitedly and went on to himself, "My Martial Soul is even likely to reach Earth Class!"

Su Mo had heard that an Earth Class Martial Soul was much stronger than a Human Class one.

An Earth Class Martial Soul was extremely beneficial to a martial artist's growth in his combat strength. A Human Class Martial Soul could by no means match it.

Besides, a martial artist with an Earth Class Martial Soul could fully exert its special capabilities.

For example, a martial artist with an Earth Class Flame Martial Soul could cultivate the martial arts of Fire Systems with less effort.

Or if a martial artist had an Earth Class Rocky Martial Soul, his defense would be indestructible.

Su Mo looked forward to his Martial Soul progressing to Earth Class.

Even though his Martial Soul currently had no special capability except devouring power, at least its progression to Earth Class would greatly improve the devouring power.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Su Mo instantly crumbled a dozen Soul Crystals without thinking much.

As the Devouring Martial Spirit was released with a loud crash, it began to devour the Beast Souls.
