Warrior’s Promise - Chapter 140

Chapter 140


As the First Elder finished his announcement, a dozen deacons stepped forward with pre-prepared metal sticks to let disciples draw lots .

Su Mo and Zhou Xin joined the queue for the draw .

Soon, Su Mo received his metal stick .

Group six, no . 518 .

Su Mo's metal stick read, "group six, no . 518" .

Over 10,000 Outer Disciples were divided into 10 groups, each with over 1,000 contestants .

Zhou Xin, Li Feng, and Niu Xiaohu each drew .

None of them were in the same group with Su Mo .

Zhou Xin was in group two, Niu Xiaohu in group eight, and Li Feng in group nine .

After drawing, the four friends waited together for the competition to start .

As the 10 fighting rings were not too far from each other, the four stayed in one place .

The draw finished quickly .

A hosting deacon stood up and announced, "The competition starts now!"

"Group one, No . 16 versus no . 825!"

"Group two, no . 605 versus no . 853!"

"Group three, no . 102 versus no . 467!"

. . .

The disciples whose numbers were called by the deacon stepped in the corresponding ring and began their first round of the fight .

Beams of light shone in each ring and loud clashes sounded here and there .

The group stage was brutal . One defeat was all it took to be eliminated .

This meant that good luck would play an important part in the first stage .

Even a disciple who was at the Peak Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm would suffer a terrible loss if he was unlucky enough to encounter one of the top 10 outer disciples .

As the competition went on, more and more disciples were eliminated .

Some groups finished their first round and moved on to the next fight faster than the others .

"Group nine, no . 74 versus no . 1019!" The deacon called Li Feng into the ring . 　　

Li Feng was no . 74 .

Li Feng's opponent was a disciple at the Lv 2 Spiritual Martial Realm .

He was no match for Li Feng .

"Mountain-Collapsing Fist!" Li Feng shouted within the ring and knocked his opponent out with one powerful punch .

Coming down from the fighting ring, Li Feng had a fine color in his cheeks like a spring breeze .

"Ha-hah . Easy wins from the first round!" Li Feng laughed .

"Congratulations, brother Li!"

"Beautiful, brother Li!"

Zhou Xin and Niu Xiaohu appeared to be excited about Li Feng's opening victory .

"Group six, no . 518 versus no . 661!" The deacon called again .

"Brother Su Mo, it's your turn!" said Li Feng .

Su Mo nodded as he stepped into the ring of Group Six .

"Su Mo?"

Su Mo's opponent was dressed in a yellow robe . He was at the Lv 3 Spiritual Martial Realm .

The youth in yellow looked gloomy as soon as he saw Su Mo .

"You know me?"



Su Mo was surprised . He stared at the youth up and down and realized who he was .

He was one of the Gale Island disciples from the Guanwu City mission .

"I surrender!" the youth in yellow forced a wry smile before shouting his decision to the referee .

He had learned how powerful Su Mo was in the Battle of Guanwu .

He knew he had no chance of facing Su Mo even if he had reached the Lv 4 Spiritual Martial Realm .

However upset he felt, he had to admit his defeat .

The youth in yellow immediately turned and walked down from the fighting ring .

Su Mo quietly stroked his nose without a word and left the fighting ring .

Round one, a free win!

Hundreds of disciples of the Sky Alliance stood together in the distance .

He Yangjun saw Su Mo's free victory and a sneer appeared in his eyes .

"You can gloat for a little while, before long your end will come . "

After that, Zhou Xin and Niu Xiaohu each had their first match .

Niu Xiaohu was lucky that he drew an opponent at Lv 1 Spiritual Martial Realm and scored an easy victory .

On the other hand, Zhou Xin, unfortunately, encountered a mighty rival of the Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm in his first round .

He chose to fight like a man instead of throwing in the towel but was knocked out by one blow from his rival .

As time went by, round one finished in all 10 fighting rings and thousands of disciples got eliminated .

The rest of the contestants advanced to the second round .

"Group six, no . 518 versus no . 932!"

It was Su Mos's turn to fight again .



This round, Su Mo was facing a round-faced youth at the Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm .

"We're at the same level . You're to lose for certain!" The round-faced youth holding a light green spear said with confidence after eying Su Mo up and down .

"Bring it!"

Su Mo shook his head gently, wondering why the youth was so confident .

"Take a defeat!"

The round-faced youth dashed out, his body rising up into the air and stabbed Su Mo with his spear of shining blue light .

Phew!

The spear pierced through the air and approached Su Mo's chest at the lightning speed .

Err!

However, at the next moment, the round-faced youth's facial expression suddenly froze and his body reached a standstill in the air .

Su Mo stretched his hand and grabbed the spear .

"How can it be?"

The round-faced youth was in a terrible shock . He struggled hard but could not pull out the spear . He was trying so hard that his face turned red, but it did not change anything .

The spear in Su Mo's hand did not move at all, as if there was a mountain resting on it .

At this very moment, the scene in that fighting ring appeared rather amusing .

Su Mo stood in the middle of the fighting ring and held up a spear, at the tip of which the round-faced youth hung in the air .

"Go down!" Su Mo said in a flat voice as he shook his arm . The round-faced youth flew off the ring together with his spear .

Su Mo scored another victory with ease in the second round .

Su Mo's luck continued for three more rounds and he harvested five wins without any struggle .

Niu Xiaohu was eliminated in round three .

Li Feng made it to round five .



By the end of each round, the number of remaining disciples was cut by half . After five rounds, there were less than four dozen contestants left in Su Mo's group .

In all 10 fighting rings, the top 10 outer disciples attracted the most attention .

None of their rivals made it to their second strike .

The seed Outer Disciple of Su Mo's group was Lu Shaoyun .

In a blue silk robe, this handsome, elegant young man threw his opponents out of the ring with ease .

The top three outer disciples Nangong Linjue, Duan Bingye, and Ling Muchen seemed even more relaxed .

All of their rivals admitted their defeat without fighting .

As a result, they had not made any move so far .

"Group six, no . 12 versus no . 518!"

Finally, in round six, Su Mo met a worthy rival .

A grim-looking youth in black at the Peak Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm, his bearing was extremely imposing, way beyond his peers of the same level .

Su Mo got in the ring and the pair stood face to face .

"He-heh! Lucky me!"

The man in black grinned as soon as he saw Su Mo . "I'll be rewarded handsomely for taking your life!"

"Taking my life?"

Su Mo raised his brows and asked in a cold voice, "You want to take my life?"

"What did you say?"

The man in black showed his killing desire in his eyes and answered, "Yes, you're pretty strong . However, it's your misfortune to encounter me!"

The man in black appeared extremely confident . Though he was only at Peak Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm, he was no weaker than those at level 6 .

"You're from the Sky Alliance?" Su Mo asked, an expression of scorn on his face .
