Su Mo was meditating in his room.
The Devouring Martial Soul floated in the air, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi gathered around it.
Endless Spiritual Qi turned into runes and merged into Su Mo's flesh and blood.
He was cultivating Lv 3 of Elephant's Strength Skill.
After completing Lv 2 of Elephant's Strength Skill, his physical strength had surpassed the strength of six tigers, but it was still slightly weaker than the strength of seven tigers.
Now that he was cultivating the third level of the cultivation method, his physical strength was rapidly rising again.
A massive amount of Spiritual Qi entered Su Mo's body and turned into "elephant runes", merging into his flesh and blood.
His body was like a sponge, happily absorbing the Spiritual Qi runes.
Time flashed by like a white steed, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.
During the 10 days, he only used a small amount of time to refine genuine Qi. After his cultivation reached the Peak Lv 7 Qi Cultivation Realm, he focused on cultivating his human body.
The speed at which his physical strength increased was even faster than his cultivation base.
In ten days, he had reached the middle stage of the third stage of the Elephant's Strength Technique.
Su Mo felt that there was an explosive power in his body. One punch was enough to explode the air.
The strength of eight tigers!
His physical strength alone was equivalent to that of a Lv 8 Qi Cultivation Realm martial artist.
In fact, the third stage of the Elephant's Strength Technique was more than ten times harder than the first stage.
However, the speed at which Su Mo's Martial Soul absorbed Spiritual Qi was more than ten times faster than before.
Hu!
Su Mo stopped cultivating and walked out of the room.
"Xi 'er, what are you daydreaming about?"
At this time, Xi 'er was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard. She rested her chin on her hands, and her cherry lips were slightly upturned. She was very cute.
"Brother Su Mo, you're out of seclusion!"
Xi 'er cried out in surprise when she saw Su Mo coming out of seclusion.
"En!"
"Xi 'er, have you reached the peak of Body Tempering Stage?"
Su Mo asked.
Hearing this, Xi 'er's lips curled up into a beautiful smile. The smile on her face was like a blooming white orchid.
"I haven't let you down. I've completed the Lv 9 Body Tempering Realm."
Xi 'er raised her snow-white neck slightly and said happily.
"Alright, I'll help you awaken your Martial Soul after today's challenge."
Su Mo was also very happy for her and said with a smile, "From now on, my Xi 'er is also a real martial artist!"
"Hehe!"
Xi 'er giggled.
"Let's go! Xi 'er, today is the day of the clan meeting challenge. "
Su Mo held Xi 'er's hand and walked toward the martial practice field.
…
A simple grandstand had been set up on the training field.
On the viewing platform, Patriarch Su Hong and the various elders had already arrived.
Below the grandstand, ten sandalwood chairs were placed neatly. More than a hundred people had gathered around the chairs, and all of them were young disciples of the Su Family.
The arrival of Su Mo and Xi 'er inevitably attracted a lot of attention.
Because of the battle with Wei Liang, Su Mo was now a prominent figure in the Sus.
However, there were also people who disdained him.
For example, Su Tianhao and Su Hai did not take Su Mo seriously at all because of their status.
"Hmph!"
Su Yu glanced at Su Mo from afar and snorted with jealousy.
He had taken Liu Yushan away, but Su Mo had found another beauty who was several times more beautiful than Liu Yushan, which made him envious.
Su Mo ignored the stares and went to the martial practice field.
After waiting for a while, Family Head Su Hong scanned the surroundings and stood up to speak.
"Alright, almost everyone is here. Let the challenge begin."
"Now, I'll announce the names of the 10 seed disciples."
"Su Tianhao!"
"Su Hai!"
"Su Yu!"
"Su Mei!"
"Su Mo!"
"Su Peng!"
"…"
Su Hong announced the names of the 10 seed disciples.
"The ten of you are the ten seeded contestants this time. Now, you can sit in the seats in the front."
"If you think you're strong enough, you can challenge any one of them. Each person has two chances.
"Well, the challenge begins now!"
The 10 seed disciples sat in their seats. Su Mo was one of the seed disciples, so he sat down as well.
In fact, Su Mo knew that the challenge was just a formality.
These 10 seed disciples were basically the strongest among the younger generation of the Sus.
Su Tianhao and Su Hai were both at Lv 9 Qi Cultivation Realm. The girl named Su Mei was the daughter of the Second Elder and was at Lv 8 Qi Cultivation Realm.
The others were at least at Lv 6 Qi Cultivation Realm.
Then, people began to challenge the seed disciples one after another.
Almost everyone's target was the disciples at Lv 6 Qi Cultivation Realm.
After an hour of fighting, the challenge came to an end.
Except for one disciple at Lv 6 Qi Cultivation Realm who succeeded and replaced the seed disciples, the others all failed.
As Su Mo and the others were stronger, no one dared to challenge them.
Soon, the challenge ended, and Su Mo was ready to leave.
"Su Mo."
At this moment, Su Yu walked toward Su Mo.
"What's up?" Su Mo asked.
"Haha! I wonder if you've heard? Wei Rufeng of the Weis said that if you participate in this competition, he'll break your limbs and destroy your cultivation to avenge his brother and Wei Liang. "
Su Yu said with a smile, gloating over Wei Rufeng's misfortune.
"Wei Rufeng? He's back! "
Su Mo raised his eyebrows.
Wei Rufeng was the elder brother of Wei Lin, the eldest son of Wei Wankong, the Master of the Weis, and the first genius of the Weis.
He left Sunnywood City a year ago and joined the Scorching Sun Sect, one of the four sects in Skymoon Country.
"I'm afraid he doesn't have the strength to avenge his brother!"
Su Mo did not care. He shook his head and left with Xi 'er.
"Humph! He's so arrogant. How can he be so confident after defeating Wei Liang? "
Su Yu sneered.
…
After leaving the martial practice field, Su Mo held Xi 'er's hand and walked toward the ancestral hall.
"Xi 'er, I'm going to help you awaken your Martial Soul."
Su Mo said to the girl beside him.
"Okay!"
Xi 'er nodded, looking a little nervous.
"Brother Su Mo, what Martial Soul do you think I'll awaken?"
Xi 'er asked.
"Haha! I can't predict the future! "
Su Mo smiled and said, "However, my Xi 'er is so beautiful, just like that noble phoenix. I'm sure her Martial Soul will be great."
"Brother Su Mo, you're making fun of me again!"
Hearing this, Xi 'er blushed.
Soon, they arrived at the ancestral hall.
There was a small altar in the ancestral hall called the Soul-awakening Altar, which was used to awaken Martial Souls.
However, it required a large amount of genuine Qi or Spiritual Qi to activate it, which was quite troublesome.
Therefore, the awakening of the Martial Souls of the Sus was usually done in groups of people who had finished Body Tempering.
"Xi 'er, go to the altar."
Su Mo said to Xi 'er as they walked into the ancestral hall.
Xi 'er took a deep breath, walked up to the altar, and sat down cross-legged.
Then, Su Mo walked to the back of the altar.
There was a groove there, which was the Formation Eye of the Soul-awakening Altar.
In the past, when the Sus awakened their Martial Souls, several elders would activate the formation with genuine Qi or a large number of Demonic Cores of demonic beasts in the Spiritual Martial Realm.
Although Su Mo did not have such powerful genuine Qi or a large number of Demonic Cores of Spiritual Martial Realm, he had Spiritual Stones.
With a flip of his palm, Su Mo took out a Spiritual Stone from his storage ring and put it into the groove.
Buzz!
As Su Mo put in the Spiritual Stone, the formation quickly started to operate.
In the next moment, a large amount of white light burst out from the altar.
Then, the white light turned into strange runes and entered Xi 'er's body.
There seemed to be a shadow twisting inside her body.
Time passed slowly.
Soon, Su Mo saw cracks appearing on the Spiritual Stone in the groove. The Spiritual Stone was on the verge of collapse.
This was a sign that the Spiritual Qi in the Spiritual Stone was about to run out.
Su Mo hurriedly took out a few more Spiritual Stones and put them into the groove.
More and more runes appeared on the altar, almost covering Xi 'er's body.
However, Xi 'er's Martial Soul was still not awakened.
Soon, the Spiritual Qi in the second Spiritual Stone ran out, so Su Mo put in the third one.
After that.
The fourth.
The tenth.
The twentieth.
The thirtieth.
The fortieth.
Su Mo's face changed, and his eyes were full of doubts.
Because the Spiritual Stones he had consumed had far exceeded the Spiritual Qi needed to awaken his Martial Soul.
The 40 Spiritual Stones had been synthesized into gold, which was equivalent to the Sus' annual income.
Even a big family like the Sus could not afford such a huge amount of Spiritual Qi needed to awaken his Martial Soul.
Su Mo frowned and thought for a while. Then, he gritted his teeth and put in more Spiritual Stones.
50 Spiritual Stones!
80 Spiritual Stones!
100 Spiritual Stones!
105 Spiritual Stones!
After a while, Su Mo had run out of more than 100 Spiritual Stones.
On the altar, Xi 'er's Martial Soul still had not awakened.
As the Spiritual Stones were used up, the formation of the Soul-awakening Altar stopped working, and the light disappeared.
Su Mo's face was gloomy. Xi 'er's Martial Soul had not awakened after using up more than 100 Spiritual Stones!
What was going on?
Did she not have a Martial Soul?
In this world, some people were born without a Martial Soul, so they could never become martial artists.
Su Mo was very confused. However, he rejected this idea because he had already felt a strong fluctuation of the Martial Soul in Xi 'er.
But why was it not awakened?
Su Mo could not figure it out.
"Brother Su Mo, why … why can't I awaken my Martial Soul?"
Xi 'er looked at Su Mo with her beautiful eyes full of doubts.
"I don't know either!"
Su Mo shook his head and said to Xi 'er, "Xi' er, don't worry. We'll ask father later. He's experienced and knowledgeable, so he should know the reason."
