Jumping Clown

After Su Hong left, Su Mo was preparing to cultivate.

A beautiful young girl arrived at his door. She had delicate, curved eyebrows and clear, watery eyes that evoked a sense of tenderness. It was Su Qingqing.

"Big Brother Su Mo, I'm so sorry! It's all because of me. If it weren't for me, the Wei family wouldn't have come looking for you!"

Su Qingqing's face was filled with guilt as she repeatedly apologized to Su Mo.

When she heard that the Wei family had forced their way over and that Su Mo and Wei Liang were to have a life-or-death battle in half a month, she became extremely anxious.

"Heh heh! Qingqing, you don't need to blame yourself. It's fine!"

Su Mo smiled and comforted her, "A mere Wei Liang, I haven't even put him in my sights. Do you really think I'm going to lose?"

"No, Big Brother Su Mo will definitely win!"

Su Qingqing shook her head and stated with certainty.

"Heh heh! Then that settles it."

"But...!"

Although she firmly believed Su Mo would win, Su Qingqing's eyes were still filled with worry.

Wei Liang was a genius martial artist of the Wei family, and his strength was incredibly formidable.

"Qingqing, you'll be able to awaken your Martial Soul next year, right? Cultivate well in the future, and once you become strong, no one will dare to bully you anymore!"

Su Mo had a good impression of this simple girl, mainly because she was pretty.

"Mhm, Qingqing will definitely become a strong person in the future and will be able to protect Big Brother Su Mo!"

The young girl said with a serious and rather cute expression.

After chatting with Su Qingqing for a while longer and sending her off, Su Mo began his cultivation.

Su Mo sat cross-legged, cleared his mind, released his Martial Soul, and continuously absorbed the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

His current cultivation was at the Qi Refining Third Layer. Due to cultivating the 'Primordial Unity Qi Art', his True Qi was extremely condensed and incredibly powerful, comparable to someone at the Qi Refining Fourth Level.

Furthermore, his physical strength possessed the Four Tiger Strength, allowing him to contend with Qi Cultivation Fourth Level martial artists through his body alone.

However, even with all this, he was still no match for Wei Liang, who was a Qi Cultivation Sixth Level martial artist. The difference was two whole realms.

Although Su Mo had also cultivated the Divine Wind Swordplay and Phantom Steps, two Level Three Martial Skills, he had only been practicing them for three days. They were merely at the introductory stage, and the increase in his combat strength was very limited.

After cultivating for two hours, Su Mo opened his eyes and stopped.

He packed some dry rations and water into his Storage Ring, slung his Long Sword over his shoulder, and walked out.

He planned to head to the Youfeng Mountain Range again.

Although his Martial Soul had reached the Human Grade Fifth Tier, greatly increasing his cultivation speed, it would be extremely difficult to defeat Wei Liang in half a month by cultivating at a normal pace.

Only through trials and killing could he rapidly improve his strength.

His Devouring Martial Soul was incredibly heaven-defying. Not only could it devour Beast Souls and Martial Souls to increase its own level, but it could also devour blood essence and vital energy to boost his cultivation.

Actual combat and killing were the fastest ways for him to enhance his strength.

Su Mo had also considered buying more Beast Souls. He now possessed a large number of Spirit Stones; selling just a few could fetch tens of thousands of gold.

However, Su Mo decided against it. Spirit Stones were precious treasures, and it was best to save them for later use.

Passing by the family training ground, he saw that it was quite lively. Dozens of Su family disciples had gathered, and shouts erupted from time to time.

In the center of the training ground, strong winds howled, and qi forces rumbled as two young figures sparred.

"Hmm? That's Su Yu!"

Su Mo glanced casually and recognized Su Yu among the two combatants, whom he hadn't seen in days.

The person fighting him was a sturdy young man of about eighteen or nineteen years old.

This young man was Su Peng, a rising star within the Su family. At eighteen, his cultivation was rumored to have reached the Peak Qi Refining Fifth Layer.

In the arena, the two were locked in a fierce battle, neither gaining an advantage.

"Wow, Big Brother Su Yu is amazing! After such a short time, his strength is already on par with Su Peng!"

"What's so strange about that? Big Brother Su Yu has a Human Grade Fifth Tier Martial Soul. He's the number one genius in our Su family."

"Big Brother Su Yu has received significant support from the clan. After such a long period of closed-door cultivation, his strength has naturally surged."

"Haha! I reckon it won't be long before Big Brother Su Yu's strength catches up to our Su family's top junior, Su Tianhao."

The atmosphere at the scene was incredibly heated, with the disciples discussing animatedly.

The battle between the two in the arena had reached its climax. Finally, Su Yu found an opening in Su Peng's defense and launched a relentless assault, forcing Su Peng to retreat repeatedly.

Su Yu pressed his advantage and, in the end, landed a punch on Su Peng's chest, sending him staggering back and spitting blood.

"Oh, Big Brother Su Yu won!"

"Long live Big Brother Su Yu!"

"..."

With Su Yu's victory, the crowd erupted in thunderous cheers.

Su Yu stood proudly, his spirit high. His eyes swept across his surroundings, his slightly upturned face filled with arrogance.

"Hmm?"

Just then, Su Yu's peripheral vision caught sight of Su Mo not far away. Su Yu immediately let out a scornful laugh.

"Well, well, isn't this my Su family's 'number one genius'?"

Su Yu tilted his head back, looking down from above at Su Mo nearby, the mockery in his eyes evident.

"Haha, it's that trash!"

"This trash will be finished in a few days!"

"..."

Many Su family disciples, upon seeing Su Mo, wore expressions of mockery.

Although Su Mo had recently defeated Su Heng and crippled Wei Liang, the second young master of the Wei family, gaining considerable fame, in the eyes of the crowd, this was merely a fleeting moment of glory.

A Human Grade First Tier Martial Soul destined him to be a cripple for life.

Su Mo shot a cold glance at the crowd and ignored them, continuing to walk forward on his own.

"Stop right there!"

Su Yu's eyes turned cold. He parted the crowd and stepped forward, blocking Su Mo.

Did a cripple dare to ignore him?

It ignited a fire in his heart.

"Su Mo, care to spar a bit? I can let you have a hundred moves."

Su Yu's eyes held disdain, a cold smile curving his lips.

Let him have a hundred moves?

This was clearly naked humiliation!

"Not interested!" Su Mo said indifferently.

"Not interested? Hmph! In half a month, you won't have the chance to be interested!"

Su Yu sneered, "I don't know whether to call you ignorant or fearless, actually agreeing to a life-and-death battle with Wei Liang! You should just enjoy these last half a month of your life!"

Su Yu inwardly sneered. A battle with Wei Liang, wasn't that suicidal?

"Whether I win or lose doesn't require your concern."

"Heh heh, your life and death naturally have nothing to do with me."

Su Yu said with a faint smile, "In fact, ever since we awakened our Martial Souls, you've lost the qualification to make me take you seriously."

"Whether it's honor, family status, or women, you no longer have the right to compete with me!"

Su Yu was in a very good mood. He possessed a Human Grade Fifth Tier Martial Soul, was the Su family's number one genius, his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, and his family status rose steadily.

The current Su Mo was completely beneath his notice.

To be able to mock Su Mo to his face like this made him feel refreshed, as if he were floating on air.

"Oh really?"

Su Mo raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Actually, I never thought about competing with you for anything, because I've never even considered you worthy of my attention. You're just a clown!"

"You...!"

Su Yu was furious, his face instantly turning ashen.

"Hmph! You can be arrogant for a few more days! In half a month, I'll personally come to watch you die!"

Thinking of Su Mo's impending doom, Su Yu suppressed the anger in his heart.

Su Mo let out a cold laugh and no longer paid attention to the other party, striding away.

Die?

It wasn't certain who would live and who would die yet!
