Chapter 73: Sword Will?
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
A group of five to six disciples were blocking Su Mo.
They were the old batch of outer disciples. They looked bold and arrogant and all of them were experts in the Spiritual Martial Realm.
“Uh?”
Su Mo frowned when he saw them blocking his way.
“Are you the new Rookie King, Su Mo?” asked the leader, a rugged youth, as he stepped forward.
“Yes! May I know your intention?”
Su Mo was expressionless.
“We are from the Fight Alliance. My name is Yu Xiong. I am hereby inviting you to join the Fight Alliance and work for Senior Brother Gu Zhan.”
The rugged youth laughed loudly and said, “How’s that? Aren’t you excited?”
Su Mo shook his head and said dismissively, “I am not interested in the Fight Alliance!”
Su Mo was trying to leave after answering.
Yu Xiong was shocked. His expression changed. The invitation of a new disciple had been unexpectedly rejected.
It was obvious that Su Mo looked down upon their Fight Alliance.
He felt a little embarrassed.
“Stop!”
Yu Xiong quickly stopped Su Mo and thundered, “You dare to refuse the invitation! Do you know the strength of our Fight Alliance?”
“I don’t want to know. Get out of the way!” Su Mo said coldly.
It was weird for him to be so arrogant if he was trying to recruit him.
“So ungrateful!”
Yu Xiong said sullenly, “Our Fight Alliance is one of the strongest powers in the outer alliance. Senior Brother Gu Zhan, the head of alliance, is one of the 10 outer disciples. You dare to reject it?”
“Hehe, interesting!”
Su Mo said dismissively with a sardonic look on his face, “Do I have to join your Fight Alliance upon your invitation? I am ungrateful if I reject?”
“Su Mo, we want to invite you because we can see your potential is not bad. You’re thinking too highly of yourself!”
Yu Xiong sneered.
“It doesn’t matter how highly I’m thinking of myself. I am definitely not joining your Fight Alliance!”
Su Mo turned around and left.
“Since you’re not willing to join us, you will be attacked!”
Yu Xiong yelled coldly. A giant palm print suddenly gushed out from the sky.
The giant almost-solid genuine Qi palm print attacked Su Mo from behind.
A dash of cold light flashed from Su Mo’s eyes. He was being attacked simply because he had rejected their invitation to join the Fight Alliance.
It was an extremely strong hit. Even a Lv 2 Spiritual Martial Realm martial artist might not be able to block it.
Su Mo turned around and threw a fist towards the palm print.
Boom!
The palm print broke. Su Mo instantly flew backward over 10 meters and shouted angrily.
“I’ll remember this hit, Yu Xiong!”
Yu Xiong hummed with disdain and said, “You’re just a nobody! You may be dominating among the new disciples, but you’re nothing in front of me!”
Su Mo returned to his dwelling, with a gloomy look.
He might have been injured by Yu Xiong’s hit if he had not strong enough.
One would only be bullied on Gale Island if he was without sufficient potential.
“I must first increase the level of my Martial Soul.”
After muttering to himself, Su Mo drew 100 Class 3 Lv 2 Beast Soul Crystals out and released his Martial Soul to start devouring.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Each of the Soul Crystals was broken into pieces and Su Mo devoured them.
A Class 3 Lv 2 Beast Soul was very strong. It was more than 10 times stronger than a Class 1 Lv 2 Beast Soul.
The effect of 100 Class 3 Lv 2 Beast Souls could be compared to 10,000 Class 1 Lv 2 Beast Souls.
Su Mo continuously devoured. His devouring Martial Spirit finally transformed again after he had swallowed 90 Beast Souls.
Boom! Boom!
His Devouring Martial Soul trembled continuously. The eighth yellow halo suddenly appeared, and all eight yellow light rays were shining extremely brightly at the same time.
Martial Soul of the Rank 8 Human Class!
Su Mo felt relieved. The Class 3 Lv 2 Beast Souls indeed had not disappointed him.
Su Mo swallowed the remaining 10 Beast Souls.
The Martial Soul in the room was suddenly whistling as Su Mo quietly urged his Martial Soul. It actually made the wind howl.
“It’s so powerful!”
Su Mo was surprised. His Martial Soul had advanced and the speed of Spiritual Qi absorption sharply increased again.
“It’s time to devour Empty Spirit Fruits!”
Su Mo got up and left the room.
On an untraversed cliff within a cloud of fog on Gale Island.
Su Mo was standing quietly with a long sword on his back.
He took two Empty Spirit Fruits out and swallowed them at the same time.
The Empty Spirit Fruits in his stomach instantly exploded into a wisp of warm strength and rushed straight to his head.
The light in his gaze was instantly circulating. He felt as if he was falling into a sudden awakening.
Clash!
The gemmed long sword left its sheath and the sword radiance scattered. A sharp sword Qi silently cut the cloud in front of him into two.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Another sword was released. The sword Qi transformed into a few wisps of wind blades and cut both of the separated clouds into broken pieces.
Su Mo applied the Qi, stepped forward, and waved his sword.
The wind was blowing inconsistently on the mountaintop. It would be calm and quiet one minute, but the wind would be whizzing strongly the next.
Only the shining sword radiance and free-roaming sword Qi could be seen.
Su Mo felt that he had fallen into a mysterious state of Empty Spirit. The awareness of Divine Wind Swordplay continuously gushed into his heart.
A lot of obscurities from the past were instantly coming into light.
Su Mo’s sword skills were increasingly graceful and fierce with his continuously expanding awareness.
The four techniques of Divine Wind Swordplay came alive in his hand. The swordsmanship move was swaying wantonly and freely without any restraint.
The sword in his hand was freely destroying everything in the vacant space as if it had suddenly been transformed into a wisp of wind.
Wind was no longer simply wind in his awareness. It was transformed into wisps of determined sword Qi that could kill everything.
Two hours flew by quickly.
Su Mo was finally recovering from the state of Empty Spirit. He was filled with delight.
“The Great Completion Realm!”
Su Mo’s Divine Wind Swordplay had further improved from the Minor Completion to the Great Completion Realm with surging potential within two hours.
Su Mo quietly exclaimed to himself that Empty Spirit Fruit indeed lived up to its reputation.
“But, what’s going on with this?”
Su Mo was a little bit curious.
He changed his intention and a few imaginary sword shadows instantly appeared in the air. The sword shadows were like a strong wind that blew quietly into the clouds, cutting the clouds into pieces again.
He changed his intention again and the imaginary sword shadows instantly disappeared without a trace.
“Is this sword will?”
After a short contemplation, Su Mo was suddenly enlightened. He frowned.
He remembered his father, Su Hong, had mentioned before that a strong martial artist could be aware of the martial will.
There were various types of martial will. The will of a knivesman’s awareness was called saber will, and the will of swordsman’s awareness was called sword will.
The martial will was ethereally surreal. It might be impossible for most people to ever come to this awareness in their entire lives. Only a few strong and ingenious martial artists could become aware of the martial will.
Martial will was very helpful in increasing a martial artist’s potential.
The martial artist who was aware of martial will could easily defeat his opponents at the same stage in a battle.
“It must be sword will!”
Su Mo’s eyes shone brightly.
He inhaled deeply and suppressed his excitement before continuing to practice his sword skills.
He did not swallow the remaining two Empty Spirit Fruits. He planned to keep them for future use since they were so magical.
Furthermore, even if he ate the fruits now, it was not possible for him to achieve the Completion Realm of Divine Wind Swordplay.
A scroll, the Nine Raiper Movements of The Wind Devil , appeared in his hand.
Although Nine Raiper Movements of The Wind Devil was only a Medium Lv 2 sword skill and it was not as strong as Divine Wind Swordplay, it was the most suitable for his martial arts techniques at the current stage.
After all, his martial arts attack techniques were too unitary because aside from Divine Wind Swordplay, he had only one Medium Lv 1 skill, Ninefold Ocean Wave Fist.
Although Divine Wind Swordplay was powerful, it consumed too much genuine Qi. Thus, it was not suitable to use in any long fight.
There were a total of nine techniques in Nine Raiper Movements of The Wind Devil.
The first three techniques did not have names.
The next six techniques after that were respectively named Sword Essence of The Wind Devil, Cross Chopping Technique of The Wind Devil, Blood Rain of The Wind Devil, Piercing The Wind Devil, Dancing of The Wind Devil, and Amazing Chopping Technique of The Wind Devil.
This sword skill was similarly related to wind, with a sharp attack and uncanny change.
The first technique.
The second technique.
The third technique.
With water-like sword radiance, Su Mo started to practice each of the techniques and skills.
He cultivated his solidification and genuine Qi hard at night for the following two weeks. In the mornings, he would come up to the mountaintop to cultivate his sword skills and footwork.
After half a month, Su Mo’s cultivation reached the Minor Completion Realm for the first five techniques of Nine Raiper Movements of The Wind Devil.
Compared with Divine Wind Swordplay, it was much easier for Su Mo to cultivate Swordplay of The Wind Devil.
At the moment, Su Mo’s cultivation was completely solidified.
It was time to break through to the Spiritual Martial Realm!
