Having killed the two young men in yellow and brocade robes, Su Mo returned to the forest . He sat cross-legged and continued to cultivate under a tree .
During the following period, the Icy Messenger Charm on Su Mo quivered every dozen seconds to 30 minutes . With the forest as his center, Su Mo began to gallop back and forth within a 2-km radius .
He was so formidable that no one he encountered could escape pillaging or even death .
Within six hours, Su Mo robbed over 20 people . If Firmament Divine Realm were more densely-populated, he would have robbed even more .
Thankfully, the distance Su Mo had to travel was not long enough to cost much of his time .
He sat cross-legged under the tree and corpses of several talent who refused to surrender their storage rings or attempted to resist lay before him .
Besides the corposes, there were also millions of Lower Spiritual Stones in front of Su Mo .
Releasing his Devouring Martial Soul, Su Mo began to devour the spoils . Spiritual Stones exploded, and his blood essence surged .
His body was once again shrouded in an eye-catching golden light as the gigantic elephant's shadow constantly flashed . What a majestic scene!
Su Mo was temporarily unable to improve his cultivation . It had skyrocketed by three levels, so the foundation was unstable, and his Genuine Vitality needed to be condensed .
Therefore, he could only enhance his physical strength . His Elephant's Strength Skill had reached Middle 9th Stage, comparable to the strength of Peak Lv 8 True Spirit Realm martial artists . However, there was still room for improvement .
As time went by, Su Mo devoured all the blood essence and Lower Spiritual Stones .
"Damn! Lower Spiritual Stones cannot meet my increasing demand for Spiritual Qi . I'd better go look for some Medium ones . "
Su Mo's demand for Spiritual Qi greatly increased as his physical strength improved, just like with his cultivation .
Oh la la!
With a wave of his arm, millions of Lower Spiritual Stones appeared again .
After devouring all the stones, he stopped cultivating .
"I've reached Late Lv 9 at last! Even with my physical strength, I won't lose out to average Lv 9 martial artists!"
Su Mo immediately ceased devouring . He could not cultivate his physical body because it had already surpassed his cultivation by two realms . If he continued, his body would probably absorb Genuine Vitality from his elixir field .
At present, Su Mo had reached some bottleneck in terms of both Genuine Vitality cultivation and physical strength .
With floating Genuine Vitality and an unfirm foundation, his cultivation and physical strength were temporarily stagnant .
In short, he was unable to enhance any kind of strength for the time being . Instead, he had to solidify his foundation for some time .
"What's wrong?"
Su Mo looked down at the skin on his arm and frowned .
With his physical strength fully activated, pale golden scales covered his body, which made him look like a merman .
Previously, his body had glowed rays of golden light, but now, the golden light converged to form scales .
Su Mo felt bewildered because nothing was said about this in Elephant's Strength Skill .
He did not know if he would turn into a monster covered with scales if he continued cultivating .
He looked slightly grave and sighed . Fortunately those golden scales only appeared when his physical strength was fully activated, so there was nothing much to worry about .
"The defense of these scales should be strong!"
Su Mo's eyes lit up . He swiftly drew his Spirit-slayer Sword and slightly stabbed at his arm .
Clang!
After the stab, Su Mo remained unscathed . There was not even a scar on his arm .
He was shocked . The Spirit-slayer Sword was sharp enough to cut through Body-protection Genuine Vitality of any Peak Lv 6 martial artist . How could he remained untouched?
After a mutter, he lifted his glowing long sword and activated some Genuine Vitality . Once again he stabbed at his arm .
Clang!
After another clang, Su Mo remained unscathed . There was no scar at all on his arm .
"Amazing!"
Su Mo was exulted . That stab could well match the full stroke from any ordinary Peak Lv 7 martial artist . However, he was still protected .
Before this, such an attack that would have surely left a clear scar on his skin even if it did not hurt him .
"Try again!"
Su Mo wielded his long sword and released overwhelming force .
This time his stroke was extremely powerful, comparable to a full attack from any average Peak Lv 8 expert .
Swish!
In a flash, the sword stabbed down .
Clang!
Once again, the sword rebounded from Su Mo's arm and did not hurt him .
Su Mo stared at his arm, only to find an faint white scar on the skin .
"Huff!"
Su Mo exhaled and then smiled .
"Such defense is strong enough to deflect any attack from normal Lv 9 martial artists . I won't be hurt at all . Combined with my Body-protection Genuine Vitality, I'll be more formidable!" Su Mo mumbled to himself .
He needed no more trials, for he fully understood his newly-developed defense .
It would be impossible for Li Hai, Fang Qingyun and the like to hurt him even if he did not fight back .
After a while, Su Mo operated the Nirvana Cultivation Method to cultivate a more solid foundation while taking out dozens of scrolls from his storage ring .
These scrolls were all about martial arts techniques .
For now, his comprehensive strength was peerless among the same rank . His only weakness was the speed of his body moves . He planned to cultivate another profound martial arts technique before the Firmament Palace turned up .
These martial arts techniques were all his trophies .
Su Mo began to check them one by one .
Even the worst martial arts techniques were of Medium Lv 3, while the majority were of Upper Lv 3, and the final four were of Lv 4 .
Among the four, three were of Lower Lv 4, and the last one was of Medium Lv 4 .
Su Mo packed up other scrolls and kept the best one in hand .
He began to read them carefully .
"Dragon Sky-roaming Steps teaches body moves of Medium Lv 4 . When one reaches the Great Completion, (s)he will move like a flying dragon traversing through the sky, fast and agile . . . "
Reading this scroll, Su Mo nodded .
Dragon Sky-roaming Steps was much powerful than the Shadow Steps he had formerly cultivated .
"I'll take this one!"
Su Mo smiled .
Just then, the Icy Messenger Charm on him vibrated again .
Su Mo checked it and heard Han Qianze's voice .
"Su Mo, 950 kilometers to the East stands an ancient city in ruin . As many as 300-400 talents are gathered there, but many are experts of Lv 7 and Lv 8 True Spirit Realm . We will be no match for them, so I retreated . Why not explore a new direction?"
Upon hearing this, Su Mo felt overjoyed . He hurried to say, "Don't move, I'll come to you at once!"
With these words, Su Mo rushed toward the due east .
Han Qianze thought Su Mo wanted to rob some weaker men, so he stayed put to wait for him without thinking twice .
Su Mo flew forward while informing the other three to meet in that ancient city .
No figure could be found within a 1,000-kilometer radius . There was no need for a further search .
