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 blood and flesh.

He cultivated the Lv 3 of the Elephant Strength Skill.

After completing the Lv2 Elephant Strength Skill, his physical strength had surpassed the strength of six tigers, but 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 increasing again.

A large amount of Spiritual Qi entered Su Mo's body and turned into a “” elephant rune, fusing with his blood and flesh.

His body was like a sponge, happily absorbing the Spiritual Qi runes.

Time passed like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

For 10 days, he had only used a small amount of time to refine the original Qi. After his cultivation reached the Peak Lv 7 Qi Cultivation Realm, he focused on cultivating his human body.

The speed of increasing his physical strength was even faster than his cultivation base.

Within ten days, he had reached the middle stage of the third stage of the Elephant Strength Technique.

Su Mo felt that there was explosive force in his body. One blow was enough to blow the air.

The power 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 Strength Technique was more than ten times more difficult 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?”

Currently, Xi’er was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard. He put his chin on his hand, and his lips slightly raised. She's so cute.

“So Mo's sister, you're out of seclusion!”

Xi’er shouted in shock as he saw Su Mo coming out of seclusion.

“En!”

“Xier, have you reached the peak of Body Tempering Stage?”

Su Mo asked.

Hearing this, Xi’er's lips curled up forming a beautiful smile. The smile on his face was like a blooming white orchid.

“I didn't disappoint you. I have completed Lv 9 Body Tempering Realm.”

Xi’er slightly raised his snow-white neck and said happily.

“Alright, I will help you awaken your Martial Soul after today's challenge.”

Su Mo was also very happy for him and said with a smile, “From now on, Xi’er I am also a true martial artist!”

“Hehe!”

Xi’er giggles.

“Come go! Xi’er, today is the challenge day of the clan meeting. “

Su Mo held Xi’er's hand and walked towards the martial practice field.

…

A simple tribune had been established on the training ground.

On the spectacle stage, Patriarch Su Hong and the various elders had arrived.

Under the stands, ten wooden sandalwood chairs were neatly arranged. Over a hundred people gathered around the seats, 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.

Due to the battle with Wei Liang, Su Mo was now a prominent figure in Sus.

However, there are also people who underestimate it.

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 in jealousy.

He had taken Liu Yushan away, but Su Mo had found another beauty that was several times more beautiful than Liu Yushan, which made him envious.

Su Mo ignored that gaze 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's start the challenge.”

“Now, I will announce the names of 10 featured students.”

“Su Tianhao!”

“SuHai!”

“Su Yu!”

“Su May!”

“Sumo!”

“Supeng!”

“…”

Su Hong announced the names of the 10 seeded disciples.

“Tenths of you are the top ten contestants this time. Now, you can sit in the front seat.”

“If you think you are strong enough, you can challenge one of them. Everyone has two chances.

“Well, the challenge starts now!”

10 seed disciples sat in their seats. Su Mo was one of the seeded disciples, so he sat down as well.

In fact, Su Mo knew that the challenge was merely a formality.

These 10 seeded disciples were basically the strongest among the younger generation Sus.

Su Tianhao and Su Hai were both at the Lv 9 Qi Cultivation Realm. The girl named Su Mei was the daughter of the Second Elder and was at the Lv 8 Qi Cultivation Realm.

The others were at least at the Lv 6 Qi Cultivation Realm.

Then, people began to challenge the seeded disciples one after another.

The target of almost everyone was the disciples in the Lv 6 Qi Cultivation Realm.

After an hour of fighting, the challenge was over.

Except for one disciple in the Lv 6 Qi Cultivation Realm who succeeded and replaced the seed disciple, the others all failed.

Since Su Mo and the others were stronger, no one dared to challenge them.

Soon, the challenge ended, and Su Mo was ready to leave.

“Sumo.”

Right now, Su Yu was walking towards Su Mo.

“What's up?” Su Mo asked.

Su Yu said with a smile, feeling pleased at Wei Rufeng's misfortune.

“Wei Rufeng? He's back! “

Su Mo raised his eyebrows.

Wei Rufeng was Wei Lin's elder brother, Wei Wankong's eldest son, Lord Wei, and Wei's first genius.

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.

“Huh! He's very arrogant. How could 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 towards the ancestral hall.

“Xier, I'll help you awaken your Martial Soul.”

Su Mo said to the girl beside him.

“OK!”

Xi’er nodded, looking a little nervous.

“So Mo's brother, what do you think Martial Soul will I build?”

ask Xi’er.

“Ha ha! I can't predict the future! “

Su Mo smiled and said, “However, Xi’erku is very beautiful, like that noble phoenix. I'm sure his Martial Soul will be great.”

“So Mo's sister, 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 Altar of Soul Awakening, which was used to awaken Martial Souls.

However, it required a large amount of original Qi or Spiritual Qi to activate it, which was quite troublesome.

Therefore, the awakening of Martial Souls of the Sus was usually done on the group of people who had completed Body Tempering.

“Xier, go to 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 Sus awakened their Martial Souls, some elders would activate the formation with the original Qi or a large number of Demon Intents from the demon beasts in the Spiritual Martial Realm.

Although Su Mo did not possess such a powerful original Qi or such a large amount of Demon Core from the Spiritual Martial Realm, he had a Spiritual Stone.

By flipping his palm, Su Mo took out the Spiritual Stone from his storage ring and inserted it into the groove.

Buzz!

The moment Su Mo inserted the Spiritual Stone, the formation quickly began to operate.

The next moment, a large amount of white light shot out from the altar.

Then, the white light turned into a strange rune and entered Xi’er's body.

It seemed like a shadow was spinning within his body.

Time passes slowly.

Immediately, Su Mo saw a crack appear 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 some Spiritual Stones and put them into the groove.

More and more runes appeared on the altar, almost covering Xi’er's body.

However, Martial Soul Xi’er had still not woken up.

Soon, the Spiritual Qi in the second Spiritual Stone was depleted, so Su Mo entered the third one.

Thereafter.

The fourth one.

Tenth.

Twenty-six.

Thirtieth.

Forty.

Su Mo's face changed, and his eyes were full of doubt.

Because the Spiritual Stone he consumed far exceeded the Spiritual Qi needed to awaken his Martial Soul.

The 40 Spiritual Stones had been synthesized into gold, which was equivalent to Sus' annual income.

Even a large family like Sus could not afford the large amount of Spiritual Qi required to awaken his Martial Soul.

Su Mo frowned and thought for a moment. Then, he gritted his teeth and inserted more Spiritual Stones.

50 Spiritual Stones!

80 Spiritual Stones!

100 Spiritual Stones!

105 Spiritual Stones!

After a while, Su Mo ran out of over 100 Spiritual Stones.

At the altar, Martial Soul Xi’er had still not awakened.

The moment the Spiritual Stone ran out, the Soul Awakening Altar formation stopped working, and the light disappeared.

Su Mo's face was grim. Martial Soul Xi’er had yet to awaken after using over 100 Spiritual Stones!

What the hell is going on?

Does he not have a Martial Soul?

In this world, some people were born without Martial Souls, so they would never be able to become martial artists.

Su Mo was very confused. However, he rejected this idea because he had already sensed the powerful fluctuations of Martial Soul in Xi’er.

But why not wake up?

Su Mo couldn't figure it out.

“So Mo's sister, why .. why can't I awaken my Martial Soul?”

Xi’er looked at Su Mo with her beautiful eyes full of doubt.

“I don't know either!”

Su Mo shook his head and said to Xi’er, “Xi’er, don't worry. We'll ask Dad later. He is experienced and knowledgeable, so he should know the reason.”
