Ten days later...
Chu Mo had not even recovered 30% of his spirit power, let alone fully recover.
At this moment...
Someone from the Hunyuan Immortal Sect came again.
Apart from the usual jade talisman, the messenger also sent another communication jade talisman and a jade bottle.
Chu Mo was very familiar with the jade bottle.
Not long ago, he had received an identical jade bottle to make up for the injuries Xun Song had inflicted on him.
"Grand Elder Mu told you not to think too much and just focus on sparring."
Compared to the previous two times, the messenger's attitude was much better. Before leaving, he even patted Chu Mo's shoulder and said, "I was right about you."
Chu Mo smiled and brought the three items to Xie Tian.
"Boss, these are yours."
After handing the jade talisman to Xie Tian, Chu Mo was about to throw the other two items out when Xie Tian stopped him.
"What are you doing, Fellow Daoist?"
"I'm throwing them away. They're useless."
"Although Fellow Daoist's spirit has improved, it's severely injured and won't be able to recover in a short period of time. I'm afraid it will affect the sparring later."
"But... but I don't want to use them."
"Hmm, t-these are two different things."
"Two different things?"
"You don't want to, but you can use them."
...
Chu Mo's eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets when he heard this.
However, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that the boss's words were full of philosophy.
"Thank you, Boss..."
"I should be the one thanking you." Xie Tian waved the jade talisman in his hand. "If not for you, I wouldn't have been able to see such an exquisite way of killing."
Chu Mo was extremely speechless, but he could not express it. He only nodded and said, "Do as you please, Boss." Then, he threw the communication jade talisman in his hand.
The immortal pill given by Grand Elder Mu was naturally not an ordinary one.
In just six hours of refinement, Chu Mo not only felt a hundred times more energetic, but his spirit had also recovered. He even displayed the improvement brought about by the past three days of life and death training.
"The strength of his soul is half a step away from the Heaven's Equal Realm. He's only one layer away from the Heaven's Equal Realm …"
As he sensed this unexpected improvement, besides sighing with emotion, Chu Mo's gaze couldn't help but descend onto Xie Tian who was in a daze and comprehending the fourth jade talisman.
On the third day of the sparring session, he seemed calm …
In fact, every step he took was full of ups and downs.
Even if he was beaten to death, he would never have imagined that the result he was waiting for wasn't to win by a few moves in advance as granted by the big boss, but to switch to another method of sparring after he finished the moves specified in the jade talisman.
After asking about it, he even received a reply from Xie Tian. This was a rare opportunity that could not be missed.
Was this an opportunity?
Staying in the Spirit Society to the point where it's either your death or mine, you're telling me this is an opportunity?
Now that he had narrowly escaped death and improved by leaps and bounds, he had to admit that this was an opportunity …
However, he still couldn't figure it out …
"Boss, how did he see this as an opportunity?"
After all, in his opinion, no one would treat this as an opportunity. They would only treat it as courting death.
The next day.
Dawn was about to break.
Chu Mo, who was fully prepared, suddenly stopped when he reached the tower's entrance.
"Boss …"
"Friend, your way of addressing me …"
"Why did the boss see that as an opportunity?"
Xie Tian was startled and instinctively replied, "That's just how I am."
Chu Mo was silent for a while before replying, "Oh," and walking out of the tower.
After watching Chu Mo leave, Xie Tian returned to his place of seclusion. He took out the four jade talismans and continued to browse and comprehend them.
Seeing this scene, Lu Qing's eyes became slightly moist.
"That's just how I am …"
He, who was muttering the words of Xie Tian, really wanted to imitate the relaxed and habitual tone of Xie Tian when he said this …
However, he couldn't do it.
It was always heavy.
Luckily, other than the heaviness, there was also a hint of gratification.
"It's not a bad thing to go through hardships. You lacked this in your previous life …"
Lu Qing let out a long sigh. The heaviness in his heart turned into excitement.
The Xie Tian that he had met before was a strange person who exuded an evil aura.
He believed that this kind of strangeness came from Xie Tian's extraordinary fortuitous encounter in this life. It was also the reason why Xie Tian repeatedly defied the heavens and achieved great success in this life …
At this moment, he finally understood that Xie Tian's success wasn't built purely on his strangeness. More importantly, he was down-to-earth, he was crazy, he was courageous, he was desperate, he was courageous …
"Feiyang, oh, Feiyang, if only you … still had the Primordial Manifestation Body …"
Lu Qing was so emotional that he almost cried.
However, he did not cry. Instead, he looked at Mu Zun, who was sitting on the high platform.
"Taiyi Source-Seeking Technique …"
On the fourth day, Chu Mo became the absolute protagonist of the sparring.
Even though Chu Mo had disregarded him and dealt him a heavy blow, Elder Liao Qing was still very professional.
Therefore, the fourth jade talisman was still the work of his blood, sweat, and tears.
Like before, he had also added an extremely subtle flaw into the fourth jade talisman.
When he saw that Chu Mo had not given up on this flaw, he lost interest in spectating the sparring and rose to his feet to leave.
Yuan Shang was a little restless at the sight of Liao Qing's departing figure.
"Grand Elder?"
"What can I do for you, Sect Leader?"
"You didn't interfere in this match, did you?"
"Sect Leader, with Elder Liao Qing's help, there's no need for the Old Man to do anything unnecessary."
"What about them?"
"Hehe, the elders aren't thinking about this either."
"Oh, that's good to hear."
… …
Yuan Shang didn't sit for long before he also rose to his feet to leave.
As the mighty elder of a sect, he had been slapped in the face by a disciple time and time again. He felt that if he didn't do something as the sect master, the Hunyuan Immortal Sect might lose a normal elder and gain a lunatic.
Chu Mo's performance on the fourth day of sparring proved that he had not chosen the special sparring session on the third day because he was helpless against Elder Liao Qing.
This, coupled with Chu Mo's calmness that was becoming more and more like Xie Tian's, struck fear into the hearts of all the powerful beings present.
Logically speaking, the better Chu Mo performed, the more at ease they should be.
However, when his performance reached an unimaginable level, all of the powerful beings present began to worry.
This kind of suspense was not because he was worried about what would happen to his actions …
Instead, they were worried that their treatment of a prodigy like this would lead to unforeseen consequences.
Of course, this was not their only concern.
As the sparring session continued, the number of prodigies who were qualified to stand on the stage decreased by more than half.
Even though they were the organizers of the sparring session, there was nothing they could do.
"I reckon it won't be long before we meet those two …"
"Tsk, they're clearly qualified to participate in the Ancient Heavenly Stairway trial, so why are they still here?"
"This is going to be a little tricky. Those two have powerful backgrounds, and we're not afraid of them, but if we want to cooperate with them, we'll have to tell them the truth …"
"We can't do that. How about we lure them with benefits?"
"That's not right either …"
"We can only drag this out. Also, arrange for the sparring session between the two of them, and send one of them away!"
"That's the only way …"
…
To devour …
However, what the powerful beings did not expect was that on the day before the two of them were about to meet...
Chu Mo had just stood on the stage when Half-step to Heaven's Equal leaped up and stood opposite him.
The judge saw this and immediately stepped forward. "This …"
"There's no need to say anything more." Half-step to Heaven's Equal raised his hand and interrupted him. He stared at Chu Mo and said softly, "After this battle with you, no matter the outcome, I'll admit defeat. Do you dare?"
All the powerful beings on the high stage were shocked!
They were about to stand up and stop him...
"A fight is a fight, and winning or losing is winning or losing. It's two different things …" Chu Mo thought for a while and nodded his head cheerfully. "Alright!"
