Meteor Spear Art

In the center of the plaza, Su Mo and Wei Liang stood facing each other.

His aura surged to the heavens, his fighting spirit brimming, the cultivation aura of Qi Refining Fifth Layer completely displayed before everyone.

That's right, Su Mo had successfully broken through the bottleneck of Qi Refining Fourth Level two days prior, reaching the realm of Qi Refining Fifth Layer.

With his cultivation breakthrough, his strength naturally advanced greatly, and Su Mo possessed absolute confidence in today's battle.

Today, he would let everyone see how he, the trash in everyone's eyes, would stage a comeback.

"Whoa, Su Mo actually has the cultivation of Qi Refining Fifth Layer!"

"Didn't they say he only had a Human Grade First Tier Martial Soul? How can he have such high cultivation?"

"It seems the rumors were all false, and the Su family deliberately deceived us!"

The surrounding crowd, upon discovering Su Mo's true cultivation, erupted in an uproar, discussing animatedly.

A martial artist's cultivation aura, if deliberately concealed, was generally difficult for others to discern, unless there was a significant gap in their cultivation levels.

Furthermore, martial artists cultivating lower-grade cultivation methods found it difficult to see through the cultivation of those cultivating higher-grade methods.

Su Mo cultivated a Third Grade Cultivation Method and never deliberately displayed his cultivation aura, so others naturally didn't know.

On the viewing platform.

The Wei family members were somewhat surprised to see Su Mo's cultivation, but it was only a slight feeling of surprise.

The realm of Qi Refining Fifth Layer?

Still not enough!

Compared to the calmness of the Wei family members, the people of the Su family were much more shaken.

The Su family members knew clearly that Su Mo indeed possessed a Human Grade First Tier Martial Soul; they had witnessed it firsthand and could not be mistaken.

With a Human Grade First Tier Martial Soul, it was theoretically impossible to reach the Qi Refining Fifth Layer realm even after five or six years.

And how long had Su Mo awakened his Martial Soul?

Less than two months, right!

The Great Elder, Su Yue, his face sank, then he sneered dismissively. In his opinion, Su Mo could only have achieved such cultivation by Su Hong buying him a massive amount of pills to forcefully advance him.

Otherwise, Su Mo would not have this cultivation at all.

Last time, Su Hong had even forcefully extracted ten thousand taels of gold from the clan!

Since that incident, the Great Elder had controlled the family's wealth extremely strictly; without the consent of the clan elders, even the Patriarch could not privately mobilize a large amount of money.

If Su Hong wanted to nurture Su Mo, he would have to pay out of his own pocket and find ways to earn money himself.

The Su family would not waste money and resources on trash with a Human Grade First Tier Martial Soul.

Su Hong glanced at the Great Elder and others beside him, taking in everyone's expressions, a cold smile curving his lips.

He naturally knew what these people were thinking, but he didn't want to say much.

In the arena.

Seeing Su Mo's surging fighting spirit, Wei Liang raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "No wonder you're so arrogant, so you have the cultivation of Qi Refining Fifth Layer. However, with just this much strength, do you think you can defeat me?"

"Are you saying so much nonsense to show off your superiority?"

Su Mo said impatiently.

"Hmph! Since you're eager to die, I'll grant your wish!"

Wei Liang snorted coldly, brandished his long spear, and thrust it out.

The silver long spear, like a dragon emerging from the sea, carrying a piercing sonic boom, stabbed towards Su Mo's chest.

"Good momentum, but unfortunately, too slow!"

Su Mo shook his head, his figure flashing, leaving behind a faint afterimage as he dodged the spear.

Wei Liang's pupils constricted, and he thought to himself: Such speed!

"Su Mo, speed alone won't let you defeat me."

Wei Liang circulated the True Qi within his body, stomped his foot heavily, and shot forward like an arrow, with countless spear shadows exploding towards Su Mo.

With this spear thrust, the long spear instantly transformed into numerous spear shadows, completely sealing off Su Mo's surroundings.

"Let's see how you dodge now?" Wei Liang sneered.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The air was pierced instantly, white spear shadows layering upon each other, sealing the void.

"You've got some skill, break for me!"

Su Mo did not draw his sword. His fists struck out in rapid succession, like a hundred arrows shot simultaneously, like a surging river. The powerful fist energy bombarded the spear shadows, shattering them with overwhelming force.

Boom! Boom!

The sound of exploding air continuously echoed, intense energy currents swirling in all directions, kicking up dust and stones.

"How is this possible? Although I only used seventy to eighty percent of my strength, it's not something a martial artist at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer realm can easily resist."

Wei Liang's expression changed, and he began to take Su Mo seriously.

Little did he know, Su Mo's Nine Heavens Sea Wave Fist had reached the Great Accomplishment realm, and he also possessed powerful physical strength.

"Take another spear from me! Meteor Spear Art!"

Wei Liang went all out this time, charging forward.

Blinding spear light slashed through the air, like a meteor falling to the earth, swift and decisive.

"It's the Wei family's Meteor Spear Art! Su Mo is going to lose!"

"It's said that the Meteor Spear Art is a First Grade High-Rank Martial Skill, extremely powerful. I didn't expect Wei Liang to have cultivated this martial skill!"

"Su Mo will probably be killed in one blow, right?"

The surrounding crowd exclaimed. In the arena, sharp spear light shot out, impossibly fast, making it impossible to dodge. There was no other option but to meet it head-on.

On the viewing platform, Su Hong and Xi'er were both extremely nervous, their eyes fixed on the arena.

In the Wei family's direction, the Wei family members all wore smiles.

It's over!

But, just then, a faint voice echoed from the arena.

"Not bad, you're qualified to make me draw my sword!"

Su Mo's expression was calm. With a clang, his long sword was drawn from its sheath. The gleaming sword light flashed, and with a gentle flick, the sword thrust out at an even faster speed.

In fact, if Su Mo had fully utilized his movement technique, he would have been able to evade this move. However, Wei Liang's strength had ignited his fighting spirit.

Therefore, he drew his sword.

Boom!

The sword tip collided with the spear light with a deafening roar. Sword Qi surged, and spear light flashed.

Both of them were forced back simultaneously.

"What? Su Mo actually blocked that spear!"

"Unbelievable! Su Mo is one cultivation layer lower than Wei Liang, yet he can contend with Wei Liang head-on!"

"..."

The crowd outside the arena erupted in an uproar, their discussions rising and falling.

"Interesting! Someone from such a remote small town actually possesses the strength to fight above their level!"

On the outskirts of the plaza, a graceful figure stood behind the crowd, gazing at the two battling in the plaza from afar.

This woman wore a light veil, obscuring her face, but judging from her alluring figure alone, it was clear she was a peerless beauty.

This woman was none other than the Pavilion Master of the Purple Gold Pavilion – Luo Huan.

Luo Huan had arrived long ago and had been watching silently.

She felt a certain curiosity towards this young man, Su Mo.

In the arena.

Wei Liang's expression was grim. He hadn't managed to defeat Su Mo after several moves, which made him feel he had lost face.

"Su Mo, I admit you have some strength, but you absolutely cannot defeat me today!"

Wei Liang shouted.

"Is that so? I've taken three of your moves. How about you take three of mine?"

Su Mo smiled noncommittally.

"Hmph! Let alone taking three of your moves, what if I took a hundred? Make your move!"

Wei Liang said dismissively. However, despite his words, his expression was solemn.

Su Mo's strength had far exceeded his expectations, and he had completely shed his contempt.

Su Mo smiled slightly, then suddenly surged forward, closing in on Wei Liang with incredible speed.

Swish!

His long sword swung, and a stream of sword light, like water, flashed and disappeared.
