The invigilating elder’s imposing manner instantly enveloped Su Mo with the power of a mountain.
Su Mo felt as if there were a boulder on his shoulders. It was so heavy that he could not move at all.
The next moment, the invigilating elder pushed his palm forward, and suddenly a palm print appeared. Its speed was beyond description and it hit Su Mo as soon as it appeared.
Puff!
Su Mo spat a mouthful of blood and was blasted backwards, smashing into a huge stone pillar in the hall. The stone pillar was crushed, and he fell to the ground.
“You didn’t respect me, but for Elder Wei’s sake, I won’t kill you. That blow is a punishment for you!” the invigilating elder said coldly.
Su Mo lay on the ground. He hit the floor with his palms and quickly got up. Then he angrily looked at the invigilating elder with killing intent in his eyes.
Puff!
Su Mo spat a small mouthful of blood again. The blow from the invigilating elder had hurt him badly.
He still had not recovered from his old injuries, and now he had been injured again.
“Elder, I won’t forget that you broke the Sect rules, prevented me from entering Inner Gate, and injured me!” Su Mo said flatly.
However, the invigilating elder did not even look at Su Mo. How dare a small fry of the Spiritual Martial Realm threaten him? He would not live long!
Looking at Ling Muchen and another strong young man, the invigilating elder took out two jade badges and made some complex seals appear on the jade badges.
After a while, he handed the two jade badges to them and gave them two moon-white outfits.
“These are your jade identification badges and clothes of the inner gate. From now on, you’ve become Inner Disciples of Gale Island!”
He then waved to them and said, “You can return. Your house numbers for the Inner Disciples’ lodge are on your jade identification badges, so you can find your houses yourself!”
All the Inner Disciples of Gale Island had uniforms. It was said that the clothes were made of precious silk that could keep warm in winter and stay cool in summer, and that they also had strong defenses.
“Yes!”
Ling Muchen and the other one replied and then left.
Ling Muchen slightly shook his head to Su Mo, indicating that Su Mo should give in for now and not resist the invigilating elder.
Su Mo sighed. He was unable to fight the elder, even if he wanted to!
The elder was a True Spirit Realm martial artist, maybe even a high-level one. Su Mo did not have the strength to fight him at all.
Afterward, Su Mo walked out of the examination hall with Ling Muchen.
On the Inner Square, Su Mo and Ling Muchen stood across from each other.
“So Mo, you don’t have to confront the invigilating elder. Your Master is Elder Wei. If you ask for his help, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to enter the inner gate!” Ling Muchen said.
Su Mo nodded slightly, sighing in his heart. If he did not have the support of Elder Wei, he probably would have been killed by the people of the Sky Alliance long ago.
“This year’s Inner Gate Trial Test will be held two weeks later. Don’t miss it!” Ling Muchen said again.
“The Inner Gate Trial Test? There is still half a month?” Su Mo asked.
In fact, he was not interested in the trial tests now. He was rich and prepared to cultivate for a period of time to improve his cultivation.
“Yeah! The trial tests of Gale Island are basically all carried out at the beginning of the year!”
Ling Muchen said, “However, the Inner Gate Trial Test is different from the Outer Gate Trial Test. It is held among the Four Sects. There are many experts in it!”
Su Mo raised his eyebrows. He did not expect that the Inner Gate Trial Test was actually held among the Four Sects.
“If the trial test is among the Four Sects, there must be violent battles among the disciples of the Four Sects,” Su Mo said with a smile.
“Right. That will be exciting. Don’t miss this opportunity, otherwise, you’ll surely regret it!” Ling Muchen said again.
Then, he left the Inner Square and went to find his house in the inner gate.
Su Mo shook his head and also left the inner gate and walked toward the outer gate.
After returning to his room, Su Mo sat cross-legged on the bed.
His face was gloomy. The first time he went to the inner gate, he was harassed. No one would be happy about that.
The powerful influence of the Sky Alliance in the Inner Gate was evident from this incident. It would be very difficult for him to live in the Inner Gate!
After a short while, Su Mo cleared his thoughts from his mind and started to treat his injuries.
He picked out a bottle of healing elixir, swallowed some, and began refining the pills.
Over the following days, Su Mo stayed in seclusion to treat his injuries.
Five days later, he was almost fully recovered.
On this day, Wang Hui came to Su Mo’s residence.
In the courtyard, Su Mo and Wang Hui sat across from each other.
“This is your jade identification badge and clothes of the inner gate!”
Wang Hui waved his hand, and a moon-white long robe and a jade badge appeared before Su Mo.
Wang Hui said, “Our Master had learned about your trouble and has already handled it for you!”
Su Mo was stunned. He did not expected that Elder Wei had already arranged it for him.
“Thank you, Senior Brother and Master!”
Su Mo was touched. He clasped his fists and said to Wang Hui, “I’ll visit Master tomorrow!”
Wang Hui chuckled, shook his head and said, “Our Master is cultivating in seclusion again. He is going to break through the bottleneck!”
Su Mo was surprised and asked, “Is he breaking through the Enlightenment Realm?”
Su Mo had known that Elder Wei was a strong martial artist at the Lv 9 True Spirit Realm. If he made another breakthrough, he would reach the Enlightenment Realm.
“Alright!”
Wang Hui nodded and sighed. He said, “However, It is rather difficult to enter the Enlightenment Realm. Our Master has been stuck in the present realm for 15 years. During these years, he has tried to break through many times, but he hasn’t succeeded yet!”
Wang Hui’s face was grave. The Enlightenment Realm was a roadblock that many people could never get through in their lives.
The huge Skymoon Country had about 100 million martial artists, but less than 10 people could enter the Enlightenment Realm. That was how difficult it was to reach this realm!
“I hope Master can succeed this time!” Su Mo said in a deep voice.
“I hope so!” Wang Hui sighed.
After a while, Wang Hui said, “Junior Brother, you’re truly a talented genius! Our Master knows the achievements you’ve gotten in Four Seas Arena. He’s very satisfied with your performance.”
Wang Hui was amazed. Su Mo’s performances always exceed his expectations. Even though he himself was a True Spirit Realm expert, he still felt shocked.
Not only was Su Mo’s combat power powerful, but his cultivation speed was also unparalleled.
“Haha, you’re flattering me!”
Su Mo chuckled.
“I’m telling the truth!”
Wang Hui smiled and said, “With your combat strength, you’ll surely achieve a lot in this Inner Gate Trial Test and even make great progress in your cultivation!”
Speaking of the Inner Gate Trial Test, Su Mo would like to ask Wang Hui about it.
“Senior Brother, where will the Inner Gate Trial Test be held?” Su Mo asked.
Wang Hui said, “The Inner Gate Trial Test will be carried out in an independent and small world, in which there are countless treasures!”
“An independent and small world?”
Su Mo asked in doubt, “What’s an independent and small world?”
“An independent and small world is a heavenly fairyland hidden in the deep of the void. You will understand when you get there!” Wang Hui said.
Su Mo nodded but did not fully understand.
“Oh, you’ll be in great danger in this trial as well. You have to watch out for the attacks from the Disciples of the Sky Alliance!”
Wang Hui said in a serious face, “There are more than 1,200 Inner Disciples, and half of them are members of the Sky Alliance!”
“What? Half of them are the members of the Sky Alliance?”
Hearing that, Su Mo sucked in a breath of cold air.
