Warrior's Promise

Chapter 284: The Sky Rapier Sect

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Duan Jingtian and his followers soon arrived on the square.

Duan Jingtian shot a cold glance at Su Mo, emotionlessly. The core disciples behind him, members of the Sky Alliance, all stared at Su Mo without concealing their killing intent.

Su Mo sneered and said loudly, “Do you wimps want to fight again?”

Su Mo’s words heated the atmosphere instantly.

Duan Jingtian started giving off a strong murderous intent and the disciples behind him looked furious as well. But, these disciples were weak and did not dare to challenge Su Mo voluntarily.

“Su Mo, the cocky ones don’t live long!” Duan Jingtian said coldly.

“Is that so?”

Su Mo was indifferent, and bantered instead, “Why didn’t you say that when you were so cocky before?”

“Humf!” Duan Jingtian snorted and looked away from Su Mo.

He was too lazy to bother with Su Mo, because he believed that Su Mo would be dead soon enough!

“Su Mo, I’ll let you triumph over your short-lived success. Once the Top-100-Talent Competition is over, both you and the Highest Elder will have to die!” Duan Jingtian thought to himself.

Seeing that Duan Jingtian went quiet, Su Mo did not bother with him any further. Even though Su Mo wanted to kill him now, it was not feasible.

With Gale Island owner around, Su Mo stood no chance unless he could kill Duan Jingtian so quickly that the owner could not react in time. However, Su Mo was not capable of that as of now.

Swish!

Not long after, two more figures approached in the sky. It was the First and Second Elder.

The First Elder glanced around and declared loudly, “Since everyone is here, we’ll set off now! Let’s reach the Sky Rapier Sect before noon!”

Then, everyone followed the two Elders and flew toward the Sky Rapier Sect.

There were only 32 disciples from Gale Island that would be competing for a spot this time.

Originally, Gale Island had 48 core disciples. After the death of Qi Feiyu and Pang He, there were 46 left. But with Su Mo’s addition, the number was now at 47.

However, there was an age limit for the Top-100-Talent Competition, and only geniuses below 25 could take part. Since a dozen others had exceeded 25, they were not participating.

The group of over 30 flew above the clouds at an astounding speed. They soon left Gale Island and flew over the Star-Water Lake.

The First and Second Elder were at the front, leading the group toward the Sky Rapier Sect.

Su Mo was at the end of the group. His killing desire rose up as he looked toward Duan Jingtian, but he soon suppressed it.

With the First Elder around, he could not kill Duan Jingtian. After all, the First Elder’s strength was unfathomable.

The group of experts at the True Spirit Realm only took half a day to reach the Sky Rapier Sect, since it was only about 3,000 kilometers away from Gale Island.

When they went below the clouds and saw Sky Rapier Sect, everyone was amazed.

Impressive!

The Sky Rapier Sect’s gate was built on a mountain peak, a thousand meters tall.

The mountain peak was like a sharp sword, stabbing toward the heavens. The group felt an intense sword Qi coming from the peak, even from afar.

They then landed and came up to the gate.

It was on the flat ground hundreds of meters wide. At this moment, there were many groups of martial artists, including some powerful Rogue Cultivators and martial artists from the small sects, entering through the gate.

Skymoon had 30 positions available in the Top-100-Talent Competition this time. Apart from the four sects, small sects or powers were allowed to contest over the positions as well.

Hence, there were many from small powers here for the contest. Some Rogue Cultivators were also here to watch the battles.

However, there were very few disciples in the small powers who could enter the True Spirit Realm before the age of 25.

As the Gale Island group showed up, an Elder of the Sky Rapier Sect cupped his fists and greeted them, saying, “Thank you for coming! Please excuse our poor welcome!”

“Don’t mention it!” the First Elder said with a smile, “May I know when the contest will begin?”

“Please rest for the night. The contest will begin tomorrow morning!” the Sky Rapier Sect Elder smiled and replied.

“Haha! Gale Island has managed to arrive before us. It’s a pity that they will get few positions despite coming early!”

At this moment, laughter was heard coming from the sky. Everyone looked up and saw dozens of people descending. It was none other than the Scorching Sun Sect.

The person who spoke was a lofty and ruddy-faced old man. He was the Scorching Sun Sect’s First Elder of Inner Gate, Lie Huo.

The Second Elder laughed disdainfully and said, “No matter how few positions we get, it’ll be more than Scorching Sun Sect!”

“Hmph! All talk and no action!” Lie Huo snorted and said.

“Look, the Gale Island and the Scorching Sun Sect are at it again!”

“I’ve heard that during the Qinghua Trial Test, over 400 disciples of the Scorching Sun Sect were killed by the disciples of Gale Island. It was really brutal!”

“But Gale Island had apparently lost several hundred disciples as well. It was a lose-lose situation!”

Many people around the area started discussing the two sects.

The Elder from the Sky Rapier Sect was speechless when he saw the two parties arguing. He could not allow them to fight here, so he quickly said, “Your residences have already been allocated, please follow me!”

“Hmph!” Lie Huo snorted after glancing at the Gale Island group, then entered the gate.

Meanwhile, Jin Yang, one of the Four Talents of Skymoon and the head core disciple of the Scorching Sun sect, was staring at Duan Jingtian. His gaze had been fixed on Duan Jingtian since his arrival.

Of all of the core disciples of Gale Island, only Duan Jingtian was worth his attention.

“Duan Jingtian, I lost to you a year ago. But I won’t lose to you in the Top-100-Talent competition this time! I’m definitely getting on the list!” Jin Yang said coldly before entering the gate.

Duan Jingtian did not reply and only looked at him condescendingly.

“Let’s go too!” the First Elder called out to everyone and the group entered the Sky Rapier Sect as well.

The Sky Rapier Sect had prepared a huge patio with dozens of rooms for them, which was enough to accommodate everyone.

After the disciples settled down, they followed a deacon for a tour of the Sky Rapier Sect. Su Mo did not tag along and sat in his room quietly, instead.

He took out the jade notes for Nirvana Swordplay Skill and started studying.

However, after an hour, Su Mo shook his head helplessly. Nirvana Swordplay was much harder to understand than Nirvana Cultivation Method.

All of its moves and use of force were difficult to comprehend. Su Mo was completely clueless.

“What’s wrong? Why’s Nirvana Swordplay so difficult to understand?”

Su Mo was confused. His comprehension skill was excellent, and he was able to master Divine Wind Swordplay while he was still in the Qi Cultivation Realm. Yet now, he could not comprehend a Rank 6 swordplay despite having reached the True Spirit Realm.

“This isn’t logical!”

After a moment of consideration, Su Mo could not figure out what was wrong, so he could only deduce that it was too difficult to understand.

Su Mo was out of options, so instead, he studied Infinite Sword Art, which was at Medium Lv 3.

Although it was at Medium Lv 3, it was a post-archean martial skill that was comparable to the one of Upper Lv 3. It was sufficient for Su Mo at this point.
