Half a month's time passed quietly.
At daybreak, the stone door of the secret chamber opened and Su Mo strode out.
His face was solemn and his eyes were filled with helplessness. He had used up a large amount of elixirs and Dawn Stones but was still unable to break through to Rank 5.
Today was the day he would set off for the Chaos Dynasty and he had no choice but to come out of seclusion.
Walking out of the palace, Su Mo looked at the bright sky and let out a long sigh.
Swoosh!
Right at that moment, a figure flashed and appeared in front of Su Mo. It was Si Kongyan.
"Su Mo, why did you take in a disciple? I have been annoyed to death for the past few years!" Si Kongyan immediately started to complain, his face full of indignation.
"What's wrong?" Su Mo was puzzled. Wasn't he just giving Chi 'er some pointers? Why was he so angry?
"You don't know, that little girl has been pestering me all day. Her head is full of weird questions!" Si Kongyan said speechlessly.
"Hehe!" Su Mo laughed. Si Kongyan actually had a time when he was being controlled by someone.
"Martial Uncle, what are you saying about me?"
Right at that moment, a light voice rang out. Chi 'er walked out of the palace not far away.
"Ah, Master, you have actually come out of seclusion?" Chi 'er was surprised to see Su Mo and immediately flew over like lightning.
"Your cultivation has improved!" Su Mo looked at Chi 'er and nodded slightly. She had already reached Rank 2 Empty God.
"Hehe, Martial Uncle has given me a lot of good stuff!" Chi 'er said with a smile.
"I am not worthy of the title of Martial Uncle. You are my Martial Uncle!" Sikong Yan rolled his eyes. Although this little girl was young, she had a lot of ideas in her head.
In recent years, many disciples of the Dragon Tribe had been tricked by this little girl.
Seeing this, Su Mo shook his head helplessly. These two were a pair of clowns.
"Su Mo, has your cultivation reached Rank 5?" Si Kongyan looked at Su Mo and asked uncertainly.
His cultivation was only at Upper Rank 2 and hence he could not tell Su Mo's exact cultivation.
In the past few years, he had learned about the situation of the Thousand-selection Battle from Long Teng and hence he was concerned about it.
"No!" Su Mo said with a sigh.
"You don't have to worry too much. With Long Teng around, there shouldn't be any problems!" Si Kongyan patted Su Mo's shoulder.
"Alright!" Su Mo nodded. However, he still had a chance. There was still half a month before the Top 1,000 Selection Battle.
"Let's go. Long Teng asked me to bring you to the Dragon Emperor's residence and we'll meet there!" Long Teng said.
"OK!" Su Mo nodded. Then, the three of them walked toward the Dragon Emperor's mansion.
This Selection Battle was of great importance. Although Si Kongyan would not participate, he would still go and watch. Chi 'er naturally would not stay alone.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at the Dragon Emperor's mansion. Under the guidance of a Dragon Clan disciple, they arrived at a small square in the mansion.
At this moment, because it was only early in the morning, there was no one in the square.
"Let's wait here for a while!" Sikong Yan said.
"Where is Long Teng?" Su Mo asked curiously.
"Long Teng has been in the Great Elder's mansion all this time," Sikong Yan said.
"I see!" Su Mo was enlightened.
"Master, you have come out of seclusion this time. After the Top 1,000 Selection Battle, please give me more pointers."
At that moment, Chi 'er opened her eyes wide and stared at Su Mo, her face full of hope.
In these few years, she had been in Dragon Capital and understood everything about Su Mo. She hoped that Su Mo would personally teach her.
However, Su Mo had been in seclusion and Long Teng had warned her not to disturb him. She could only wait.
"OK!" Su Mo said with a smile. Since Chi 'er had called him master, it would be rude of him not to give her some pointers.
"Hehe, it's a deal!" Chi 'er laughed and raised her small fist.
"It's a deal!" Su Mo laughed bitterly. Then, he sat down cross-legged on the square and waited for the others to arrive.
As time passed, more and more people started to gather at the square.
"Brother Su!"
"Brother Su Mo!"
"We haven't seen each other for a few years. Brother Su Mo's cultivation has increased greatly!"
Some of the Dragon Tribe members who came to the square greeted Su Mo. Even those whose cultivation was higher than Su Mo's were no exception.
"Everyone, Su Mo greets you!" Su Mo stood up and greeted the members of the Dragon Tribe. He was in the Dragon Tribe and was protected by them. Naturally, he had to maintain a good relationship with them.
"Su Mo, I am Long Yi. I see that your cultivation is still at Upper Rank 4. I am afraid that you will not be able to participate in the Thousand Selection Battle!" A tall and skinny young man cupped his fist at Su Mo and said.
Long Yi's cultivation was high and his aura was thick. It was comparable to Chu Tianxu's.
In the Thousand Selection Battle, each superpower only had ten slots. Everyone knew that one of the ten slots of the Dragon Tribe was reserved for Su Mo.
As for who the slot belonged to, the higher-ups of the Dragon Tribe had specially discussed it. According to Long Teng, one slot was reserved for Su Mo.
If Su Mo was unable to reach Rank 5, the slot would be given to another genius of the Dragon Tribe.
"There is still half a month left. I will try my best!" Su Mo sighed.
"Su Mo, the Thousand Selection Battle is meaningless to you. We will show the glory of the Dragon Tribe." Long Yi said with a smile. He did not know the reason why Su Mo would participate in the Thousand Selection Battle.
Su Mo smiled and did not reply. He was not optimistic about these geniuses of the Dragon Tribe.
In the entire Dragon Tribe, only Long Teng could take on this responsibility.
Seeing that Su Mo did not reply, Long Yi did not continue to chat with Su Mo and started to chat with the others.
"Su Mo, this Long Yi is not simple. His cultivation is at Upper Rank 9. He is the most talented among the geniuses of the Dragon Tribe!" Si Kongyan stood beside Su Mo and sent a voice transmission to Su Mo. He had stayed in the Dragon Tribe for a long time and had not been in seclusion for the past two years. As such, he knew more people from the Dragon Tribe than Su Mo.
"Mm!" Su Mo nodded and did not ask further. The most talented among the geniuses of the Dragon Tribe? How powerful could he be if he could not even reach the eighth level of the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda?
There were only five people in the Dragon Tribe who had reached the eighth level of the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda. They were Dragon Emperor, Long Teng, Long Peilin, Long Yu, and Long Shuangshuang.
As such, in the younger generation of the Dragon Tribe, other than Long Shuangshuang, Long Yu, and Long Teng, the rest were basically mediocre.
As for Long Peilin, Su Mo had not seen him before. However, he was the Supreme Deity King.
More and more people from the Dragon Tribe gathered at the small Square. Very quickly, there were more than a hundred people and all of them were of the younger generation.
The highest cultivation level was at Rank 9 and the lowest was at Rank 1.
Long Shuangshuang, Long Cheng, Long Ye, Long Yu, and the others all came to the Square.
There were only ten people participating in the Thousand Candidates Battle. As for the others, they were all geniuses who were there to watch the battle.
If they were not geniuses, they were not even qualified to watch the battle. As for Chi 'er, as she was Su Mo's disciple, everyone in the Dragon Tribe knew that she was qualified to watch the battle.
The Square was noisy and lively. Everyone was discussing the situation of the Thousand Candidates Battle and guessing who had the highest chance of winning.
"Sigh, it is a pity that Su Mo did not break through to Rank 5 Cultivation!"
"That's right. With Su Mo's talent, if he participated in the Thousand Candidates Battle, he would be like a fish in water. He would be a great help to the Dragon Tribe!"
"That might not be the case. Although he is talented, even if he has reached Rank 5, his cultivation level is still too low!"
"In the Thousand Candidates Battle, a high cultivation level does not have much of an advantage. Everything still depends on talent and luck!"
"The most important thing is that the specific rules of the Thousand Candidates Battle are not clear yet. They will only be announced before the Thousand Candidates Battle begins."
All sorts of discussions surged in the Square. It was noisy and there were many sighs mixed in.
Everyone naturally knew that Su Mo had not broken through to Rank 5 Cultivation and they couldn't help but feel that it was a pity.
If Su Mo could participate in the Thousand Candidates Battle, it would definitely be a great weapon for the Dragon Tribe. However, Su Mo had not broken through and hence, he could not participate. This was a loss for the Dragon Tribe.
