Three Martial Arts Schools' Tournament Begins! Su Mo: Since I Can Participate, I'll Take First Place

"Junior Brother Su Mo, you've made it. Your name is on the list for the Tri-Martial Arts Gathering this time."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Luo, for your trouble. I, your junior brother, will not let your good intentions go to waste."

Soon, Luo Lianbo informed Su Mo of the matter.

Su Mo was very pleased upon hearing the news, followed by surprise. After being passed over in the last East Arrival Martial Arts School gathering, he hadn't held much hope for this. It was no secret that the upper echelons of the martial arts school favored disciples with superior innate talent.

That was why he felt his chances were slim.

For Senior Brother Luo Lianbo to tell him now that the martial arts school's higher-ups had agreed to let him participate in this martial arts exchange, he was somewhat taken aback.

Afterward, Senior Brother Luo Lianbo mentioned that the reason he was selected this time was because Lin Yutong had also suggested his participation in the martial arts gathering, which led the martial arts school's higher-ups to change their minds and include him in the participant list.

Hearing this, Su Mo's doubts were resolved.

Su Mo didn't say much about Senior Brother Luo Lianbo's repeated help, but he kept it in his heart.

Although he didn't know why Senior Sister Lin Yutong was willing to help him, he noted that down as well.

As Senior Brother Luo Lianbo was leaving, he also told Su Mo not to put too much pressure on himself. He warned that Changchun Martial Arts School and Qiufeng Martial Arts School were coming on strong this time, with not only genius disciples Cao Xuanchu and Mo Chengjun leading the charge but also many elite disciples set to compete.

Therefore, he should just perform normally, and it would be fine even if he lost.

After Senior Brother Luo Lianbo left, "Since I can participate in this Tri-Martial Arts Gathering, then the first place, I, Su Mo, have decided to take it!"

Su Mo's eyes sparkled. The first place in the gathering would win a whole bottle of Blood Qi Pills. These pills were an upgraded version of the Body Strengthening Soup, an extremely expensive medicinal pill. Each pill cost a full twenty taels of silver.

The price of a single Blood Qi Pill was equivalent to two months' worth of accommodation and medicinal soup fees at the martial arts school.

A whole bottle contained ten pills, totaling two hundred taels of silver, an amount even Su Mo couldn't afford. He would have to go into the mountains and hunt so many Green Wolves.

However, with the Blood Qi Pills, Su Mo's speed in breaking through to the peak of the late Body Tempering Realm would be much faster.

As long as he broke through to the peak of the late Body Tempering Realm before the age of nineteen, he would be able to obtain the Guande Martial Arts School's three major Body Tempering Cultivation Techniques. This was what Su Mo desired most.

The Thunderous Body Refining Fist, Waves Thunderbolt Palm, and Bone Forging Black Dragon Leg were three Body Tempering Cultivation Techniques that could all be cultivated to the Tendon Changing Realm.

Unlike the incomplete Azure Origin Body Tempering Art, which could only be cultivated to the peak of the late Body Tempering Realm before abruptly stopping.

Therefore, the first place in the Tri-Martial Arts Gathering, he, Su Mo, had decided to take it.

Regarding Su Mo's participation in the martial arts exchange, Xie Baolin, Ye Zongsheng, and Sha Pengxiao were also happy for him upon learning the news. They had always believed Su Mo's strength was considerable and that he was fully qualified to participate.

However, the martial arts school's higher-ups seemed to not favor Su Mo, causing him to constantly miss opportunities.

But this time, with Su Mo's selection, they were all happy for him.

Ye Zongsheng even pulled Su Mo and the others out for a meal. Although it wasn't at Qingshan Town's grandest restaurant, Tianxiang Tower, the restaurant they went to was still quite good.

Ye Zongsheng came from a humble background, slightly better than Su Mo and Xie Baolin, but not by much. They all relied on the martial arts school's upper management's sponsorship to continue their cultivation at the school. However, Ye Zongsheng was a genuinely good person.

Su Mo didn't have much money on him. Later, when he won first place in the Tri-Martial Arts Gathering, he would treat them to a meal as well.

Senior Brother Yue Haofeng from the same dormitory had still not returned to the martial arts school during this period.

It was said that a major incident had occurred in his family.

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the time for the Tri-Martial Arts Gathering arrived.

Changchun Martial Arts School and Qiufeng Martial Arts School successively brought their disciples to Guande Martial Arts School, and the higher-ups of Guande Martial Arts School also appeared to meet them.

The Tri-Martial Arts Gathering this time was a grand event, attracting much attention. The genius disciples from the two major martial arts schools, in particular, were the subject of much discussion.

"Look quickly, isn't that Mo Chengjun from Qiufeng Martial Arts School? It's said that not only has his cultivation reached the peak of the Body Tempering Realm, but he has also cultivated Qiufeng Martial Arts School's Autumn Wind Falling Leaves Palm to the Minor Accomplishment Realm. He has defeated many geniuses of the same realm with this palm technique, and his fame has even spread to some parts of Anyuan County Town."

"Mo Chengjun is strong, but Cao Xuanchu from Changchun Martial Arts School is rumored to be even stronger. His cultivation is also at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm, and he could break through to the Meridian Opening Realm at any moment. Not only that, but he is also obsessed with saber techniques, having cultivated the Basic Saber Technique to the Great Accomplishment Realm. He even vowed not to switch to other saber techniques until he cultivates the Basic Saber Technique to the Perfection Realm, showing his devotion and sincerity towards saber techniques. His strength is particularly terrifying."

"Moreover, below Cao Xuanchu and Mo Chengjun, there are many elite disciples, who are said to be the foundation of the two martial arts schools. Although the strength of these elite disciples is not as good as Cao Xuanchu and Mo Chengjun, they are not much weaker. Their overall strength is extremely balanced."

"If Guande Martial Arts School's geniuses Zheng Mengyang, Qi Yaxue, and Jin Guangqing were to face these elite disciples, they might face significant trouble and even be defeated."

"Furthermore, Guande Martial Arts School's strongest, Zhong Wanyu and Qi Yaxue, cannot participate in this Tri-Martial Arts Gathering due to their breakthrough to the Meridian Opening Realm. It seems that Guande Martial Arts School is likely to lose this time."

"No way, that's Guande Martial Arts School, they just forcefully defeated East Arrival Martial Arts School!"

"It's highly possible. Let alone first place, Guande Martial Arts School might not even secure second or third place. Changchun Martial Arts School and Qiufeng Martial Arts School are truly veteran martial arts schools, far surpassing the previous East Arrival Martial Arts School."

"If Guande Martial Arts School doesn't even make it into the top three this time, their reputation will likely take a significant hit."

Amidst the discussions, the higher-ups of the three martial arts schools met and exchanged pleasantries, after which the meeting concluded.

Next, came the main event.

The Tri-Martial Arts Exchange Gathering officially began.

The genius and elite disciples of the three martial arts schools would showcase their Spiritual Power to compete for first place in the gathering.

The winner would receive a whole bottle of Blood Qi Pills.

The elite disciples were all eager, raring to go. Who wouldn't want a whole bottle of Blood Qi Pills? After all, once obtained and consumed, their chances of breaking through to the Meridian Opening Realm would greatly increase.
