Chapter 1458: Absurd?
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“Elder Zhen Gu, you can’t withdraw!” Su Mo said anxiously to Sage-to-be Zhen Gu.
Hearing this, Sage-to-be Zhen Gu threw a sidewards glance to Su Mo but did not pay him further attention.
Whether or not to withdraw from the fight meet had been carefully considered beforehand. He wouldn’t be swayed by a typical disciple’s words.
“Please grant us your approval Elder Yin Ze!” Sage-to-be Zhen Gu cupped his fists and sincerely requested.
“Zhen Gu...!” Su Mo didn’t finish his sentence before Elder Feng Guang suddenly pulled him backwards.
Feng Guang was at a loss for words. The decision to withdraw from the fight meet was made by Elder Zhen Gu based on the situation at the fight meet. Su Mo, a mere disciple, actually dared to plead with the elder not to? Wasn’t he just making trouble for himself?
The Black Flame Tribe members couldn’t help laughing coldly as they heard Sage-to-be Zhen Gu’s earnest request to withdraw from the fight meet. At least this action was understandable, Sage-to-be Zhen Gu was preventing his sect from further shaming themselves at this fight meet.
On the northern stands, Elder Yin Ze sighed heavily before nodding his head, “since you really want to withdraw, Zhen Gu, then I will not stop you...!”
Elder Yin Ze did not oppose the decision. With the current situation, there was no reason for the True Path Sect disciples to remain any longer. Hence, he agreed to the request.
However, before Elder Yin Ze could finish his sentence, he was cut short by an ear piercing sound.
A young man wearing a green coloured robe flew at lightning speed from the southern stands. This man was among the group of True Path Sect disciples and he was the origin of the ear piercing sound.
Elder Yin Ze was surprised by the scene and he immediately stopped talking.
All the spectators who witnessed this were also surprised. Sage-to-be Zhen Gu was about to withdraw from the fight meet but a disciple had actually lept out for another challenge?
Yet, the True Path Sect disciples appeared even more clueless as they looked down at the person on the battle arena. It was Su Mo.
Su Mo was getting into the battle arena?
What was he trying to do?
Su Mo stood upright on the arena. Before Elder Yin Ze even finished his words, he had lept off from the stands.
He couldn’t not do it. If he waited any longer, Sage-to-be Zhen Gu would have led all the disciples away. By then, how else was he going to stay here?
Therefore, he had to step up immediately.
On the battle arena, Su Mo turned towards Sage-to-be Zhen Gu and said, “Elder Zhen Gu. The fight meet has just begun and you still can’t guess the outcome of it. How can we just withdraw now?”
Hearing Su Mo’s words, everyone at the scene was confused. What was this True Path Sect disciple trying to do? He actually went against Sage-to-be Zhen Gu’s decision in front of everyone.
At that moment, the True Path Sect people all wore dark looks on their faces. Was Su Mo intentionally trying to cause a scene? Was the sect not shamed enough from the previous scene?
Sage-to-be Zhen Gu’s face darkened. He was being shamed by a lowly disciple going against his decision in public. Furthermore, it was just some unknown disciple.
At that moment, a small, rage-filled fire was burning in his heart.
The sect had already lost so much face from today’s events and he was already irritated. Now, with Su Mo’s ridiculous actions, he couldn’t help being angry despite having to maintain his composure as the leader.
If he wasn’t aware of Su Mo’s relationship with Saint Zhen Xian, where Saint Zhen Xian specially requested him to bring Su Mo along to Sun Moon City, he would have instantly crushed Su Mo at the scene.
“Su Mo, what are you doing? Come back now.”
Feng Guang’s face changed as he anxiously called Su Mo back. At the same time, Feng Guang was also so nervous that he was about to puke blood. Was Su Mo an idiot? He said he was just there to be a spectator, why did he suddenly run up to the arena? And he had also gone against Sage-to-be Zhen Gu’s decision!
“Elder Feng, why should I go back? I want to challenge someone now!” Su Mo announced.
“What?”
Upon hearing Su Mo’s words, Feng Guang’s face turned pale and his jaw almost fell open. He had heard an utterly ridiculous remark.
Challenge?
Who was he kidding?
He was just just a Rank 8 Marital Emperor and not some well known genius. Yet he wanted to challenge someone under such circumstances?
Feng Guang went weak instantly and he had to catch himself from falling to the ground.
The group of True Path Sect dsiciples and elders were also surprised. Was this Su Mo dumb? A mere Rank 8 Martial Emperor wanted to challenge someone at this fight meet?
They had all along thought that Su Mo was just there to spectate and they never imagined that Su Mo would want to participate in the meet. The situation now caused them to lose their ability to react.
“Ha ha ha!!”
Right at that moment, a thunderous laugh erupted out over the fighting ground.
The one who laughed out so hideously was Yan Huo, who had just returned to the stands.
“Does the True Path Sect really not have anyone left? Just a mere Rank 8 Martial Emperor wants to challenge someone?” Yan Huo wore a mocking look on his face as he ridiculed.
The moment Yan Huo’s words fell, the entire fighting ground burst out into laughter.
“Is this True Path Sect disciple trying to play a joke?”
“The three geniuses of the sect had been defeated. He is just a Rank 8 Martial Emperor and he actually wants to challenge someone?”
“I am guessing this guy is ashamed by the crushing defeat his sect suffered and he can’t handle such humiliation so he wants to go for it now!”
“What a joke!”
Voices and jeers sounded out as many took Su Mo to be a laughing stock.
Such a scene was actually pretty funny. All the top geniuses of the sect had been defeated and some unknown, ordinary disciple actually wanted to continue fighting here. It was a complete joke!
As these mocking voices passed through the ears of the sect’s disciples and elders, they were almost going mad with rage.
The sect had been crushed at the fight meet this time and they had already lost all face and were so disheartened. Yet this Su Mo was actually trying to create a scene now? They just wanted to find a hole and burrow themselves in it from embarrassment.
“Su Mo, are you done with your nonsense? Let’s return to the sect!” Sage-to-be Zhen Gu suppressed the rage in his heart and barked out with a steely face.
Su Mo sighed. Did everyone think he was making a joke?
Granted, he was only a Rank 8 Martial Emperor and he didn’t have a name for himself in Ming Xu Galaxy. It was understandable for the ground to think he was making a joke.
Alright! Since that was the case, he would prove himself with his strength!
Disregarding Sage-to-be Zhen Gu, Su Mo scanned the southern stands as he tried to choose a suitable opponent for himself.
He stopped at Yan Huo. This man was so arrogant and Su Mo felt completely disgusted by his actions.
However, Yan Huo had just fought against Lu Gang and couldn’t accept another battle this round.
Then, Su Mo’s gaze fell on Yang Tiancheng. This man was so blatantly chasing Qing Xuan. Yang Tiangcheng was his rival and hence, Su Mo wanted to defeat him.
However, after pondering for a while, Su Mo did not choose Yang Tiancheng. Afterall, he was afraid Yang Tiancheng would not want to fight against him as Yang Tiancheng was a godly talent and hence he wouldn’t want to fight with a Rank 8 Marital Emperor.
Su Mo did not waste any more time for fear that Sage-to-be Zhen Gu would come directly for him and force him out of the battle arena.
Su Mo’s eyes shifted quickly before they fell on Mo Lang of the Roaring Sky Wolf Tribe.
Mo Lang was known to be strong, probably of the same level as Lu Gang and Yan Huo. Mo Lang would be Su Mo’s perfect opponent for his first round.
“Mo Lang, you up for a challenge?” Su Mo lightly called out but his voice appeared to be vicious thunder that shook the nine heavens as it boomed across the fighting ground.
