The Martial Soul talent of people with Twin Martial Souls could not be judged solely by their level.
Even if both their Martial Souls were only of Human Class, they were still significantly talented and could cultivate as quickly as people with high-level Earth Class Martial Souls.
The combined talent of Su Mo’s Lv 6 and Lv 7 Earth Class Martial Souls rivaled that of Heaven Class Martial Souls, so the Towering Sky Peak Master was very pleased.
Towering Sky Peak Master had very high demands for his disciples and valued quality over quanitity, rejecting average martial artists. Thus, he only had a handful of disciples.
Although the combined strength of these disciples could not match those of the other eight peaks, each of them was an outstanding genius that could take on hundreds of the disciples from other peaks.
“Very good! Su Mo, would you like to be my disciple?”
The Towering Sky Peak Master asked softly with a smile. Since Su Mo had already come to the peak, he would not possibly refuse, but the Master still had to ask.
“Yes!” Su Mo nodded seriously.
“Good!”
Then, Su Mo bowed to his new master.
“Su Mo, from now on, you’ll be my pro-disciple and the 11th disciple of Towering Sky Peak. You will become one with Towering Sky Peak and share its gains and losses. Do you understand?” the Towering Sky Peak Master said deeply.
“Yes!” Su Mo nodded.
“Congratulations on entering Towering Sky Peak, 11th Junior Brother!”
“Congratulations, 11th Junior Brother!”
Tian Chen, Hua Suiyu, and the two other young men all congratulated him.
From now on, Su Mo was truly part of Towering Sky Peak.
“11th Junior Brother, let me introduce others to you!”
Tian Chen pointed at the young men dressed respectively in a black tight suit and long white robe and said, “This is 8th Senior Brother, Feng Shaoyu, and 9th Senior Brother, Yun Fei.”
“Greetings, 8th Senior Brother and 9th Senior Brother!”
Su Mo bowed to the two young men. His 8th Senior Brother Feng Shaoyu had a cold face and tall figure, while his 9th Senior Brother Yun Fei was slightly chubby with a round face.
“You’re too kind, 11th Junior Brother. We’re all fellow disciples now!”
Feng Shaoyu and Yun Fei did not put up airs and bowed back at Su Mo.
Su Mo carefully scrutinized these two men. They were both extremely powerful. 9th Senior Brother Yun Fei was at Lv 3 Enlightenment Realm, while 8th Senior Brother Feng Shaoyu was at Lv 4 Enlightenment Realm.
“Su Mo, I’m going to give you a welcoem gift for becoming my disciple!” the Towering Sky Peak Master smiled and held out an antique and simple long sword.
“I know you’re a swordsman, so here is an Imperial Divine Weapon!” he said.
“Imperial Divine Weapon?” Su Mo was shocked as Imperial Divine Weapons were Lv 6 weapons. He had not expected to get so lucky, so he quickly thanked his master and took the sword.
It was pale gray and plain, but as soon as Su Mo injected a tiny wisp of Vital Spirit, stunning rays came bursting out.
“What a sword!” Su Mo was overjoyed.
“Yes, this sword is called ‘Sky-crushing’. It’s a Medium Lv 6 weapon, which should suffice until you reach the Martial King Realm!” the Towering Sky Peak Master said with a smile.
“Thank you Master!” Su Mo put away Sky-crushing Sword and thanked him once again.
The Towering Sky Peak Master waved his hand and said, “Thank me by training hard to increase your strength. If you need any cultivation skills or martial arts techniques in the future, just ask me!”
Su Mo nodded seriously with gratefulness in his heart. It was nice to have a powerful master!
“Alright, everyone can leave!” the master said after a while with a wave of his hand, glancing at his disciples.
“Disciple bids farewell!”
“Disciple bids farewell!”
Su Mo and the others clasped their fists, bowed, and exited the hall.
“11th Junior Brother, you must work hard. Celestialspirit Sect’s Nine Peaks Martial Arts Competition is in about six months, and you mustn’t let down Towering Sky Peak!”
Yun Fei said with a smile. Then, he turned to Tian Chen and said, “10th Junior Brother, you must also strive to break through as soon as possible!”
“Haha! Don’t worry, 9th Senior Brother! It’ll happen soon!” Tian Chen smiled proudly.
“Nine Peaks Martial Arts Competition?” Su Mo looked at Yun Fei confusedly.
Yun Fei explained, “Nine Peaks Martial Arts Competition is a competition between all Outer Disciples below the True Darkness Realm of the nine peaks!”
Su Mo understood. The Nine Peaks Competition was basically a Outer Disciple Competition.
In Celestialspirit Sect, all disciples below the True Darkness Realm were Outer Disciples. Those at the True Darkness Realm were Inner Disciples, and those at the Martial King Realm were Holy Disciples.
Holy Disciples were more highly regarded than outer elders, and even more than regular inner elders.
“The Nine Peaks Competition is held every three years and determines the resources given to each peak throughout the next three years. In all the past competitions, someone from Towering Sky Peak has made it into the top three. This year, our hope is on the Seventh Senior Sister!”
Yun Fei shook his head and looked toward Hua Suiyu.
Towering Sky Peak only had five Outer Disciples below the True Darkness Realm. Besides Hua Suiyu, who was at Lv 7 Enlightenment Realm, the strongest of the remaining four was only at Lv 4 Enlightenment Realm. No matter how demonic they were, they still could not beat masters at Lv 9 Enlightenment Realm from other peaks.
Thus, Hua Suiyu was their only hope of entering the top three, perhaps even top ten.
Hua Suiyu’s eyes shone with confidence, and she said firmly, “I will definitely make it to the top three!”
“Seventh Senior Sister, you need to try to reach Lv 8 Enlightenment Realm, or you won’t stand a chance against geniuses at Lv 9 Enlightenment Realm!” Feng Shaoyu shook his head and said.
Feng Shaoyu was colder and less optimistic than Yun Fei.
“Don’t worry, everyone! I won’t let you down, and I won’t let Master down!” Hua Suiyu took a deep breath and said confidently.
Then, after they chatted for a while, everyone left for their own quarters.
Su Mo returned to the cultivating room in his tower.
He placed more Spiritual Stones in the Aura-gathering Formation, activated the formation, and began cultivating again.
This time, instead of increasing his cultivation, he was cultivating his physical body.
His current physical strength was equivalent to a half step to the Enlightenment Realm and close to that of a Lv 1 Enlightenment Realm martial artist. Now that his cultivation had reached Lv 1 Enlightenment Realm, he could bring his physical strength to Lv 3 Enlightenment Realm.
Whoosh!
With a wave of his hand, countless Spiritual Stones spilled out, and Su Mo released his Devouring Martial Soul to begin devouring them.
Countless golden Archean Dragonesque Elephants appeared before him.
Su Mo’s physical strength was sky-rocketing.
