Having spent several days with Nie Qian and Han Ying, Su Mo had confidence in them.
He was willing to trust them.
If they were to betray him, it would not be a big deal.
After all, he had no enemy in the Shenwu Academy. If his talent was revealed to the Academy, perhaps he would be identified as someone to be trained carefully.
Su Mo, however, tended to cultivate quietly, unwilling to put himself in the limelight.
After some time, Su Mo put away the jade slip of the List of Archean Martial Souls. He would continue to develop his Martial Soul. The Martial Souls on the List seemed to have nothing to do with him.
He then turned to the List of Archean Special Bodies where a thousand of the strongest special body constitutions were recorded.
The bodies belonged to the Humans or its divided tribes, having nothing to do with other tribes.
The first special body constitution on the List drew Su Mo's attention. It was called "Chaotic Body".
He had been told that when he was able to practice his Grand Chaos Five Elements Skill to the extreme, he would be able to successfully practice the Immortal Chaotic Body. He wondered if it had something in common with the Chaotic Body.
However, the Chaotic Body was an inherent Godly Body, probably different from the acquired Immortal Chaotic Body.
Apart from the Chaotic Body, there were many other special bodyconstitutions that dazzled Su Mo.
Eternal Godly Body!
Supreme Combat Body!
Divine Skill Body!
Immortal Holy Body!
Each special body constitution was extremely powerful, capable of destroying the universe in a flash.
Pure Yin Body!
Su Mo caught sight of the familiar name—it was Hong Qingxuan's special body constitution.
"Pure Yin Body is to practice the Qi of pure Yin, refine the Yang in the universe, and grab Good Fortune of Yin and Yang. It is also an inborn Stove!"
The brief introduction to the Pure Yin Body rendered Su Mo speechless.
Based on the introduction, girls with pure Yin body were supposed to cultivate such a feminine Martial Art in order to be able to demonstrate the power of this body constitution.
He had asked Hong Qingxuan to inherit the Evergreen Palace's martial arts technique with the wood property, totally wasting her body constitution.
A moment later, Su Mo sighed and put away the the List of Archean Special Bodies. He began reading the last jade slip, the List of Archean Boulevards.
The so-called boulevards referred to the laws and ultimacies in the universe.
The list had recorded a thousand of the most powerful Ultimacies, taking Space as veneration and Time as king.
In other words, Space Ultimacy was the strongest, followed by Time Ultimacy.
Besides, there were a number of powerful and profound Ultimacies. For example, Immortal Ultimacy took sixth place.
Su Mo planned to probe the Ultimacies in the near future and perceive the Ultimacy that would be in accord with his Devouring Martial Soul. For now, he had better elevate his Martial Soul to Rank 9 Heaven Class.
Su Mo then sat in meditation quietly. Although he had not consumed too much Dark Force in recent days, his willpower was used up because of the Demonic Soul's capture.
Time passed by. Su Mo, Nie Qian, and Han Ying calmed their breaths.
Swoosh!
After an unknown period of time, Han Ying opened her eyes abruptly and turned to stare into the distance.
"What's wrong?" Nie Qian asked.
"Someone is coming!" Han Ying answered seriously.
"Is it an Armor Devil?" Nie Qian was shocked and stood up immediately.
Su Mo also opened his eyes and took out his long sword, ready to fight against Armor Devils.
He was not overly worried because although the Armor Devils in the Demonic Cloud Sea had a large population, most of them were low-level Martial Emperors, and few were in the middle or advanced level Martial Emperor Realm.
"No. It should be disciples from the Academy!" Han Ying shook her head.
As soon as she said this, a piercing sound rang out from the distance, and four figures dashed toward them.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The four figures dashed so swiftly that they flew above the small island in a flash before catching sight of Su Mo, Nie Qian, and Han Ying.
These young men were martial artists in the second Martial Emperor Realm with a strong aura.
"Where are you from?" The young leader asked loudly.
Wearing luxurious clothes, the man had a long face and a mouth that stuck out, making him look gloomy and mean.
"We are disciples of the south house and are resting here." Nie Qian spoke to them with his hands cupped.
The young man in luxurious clothes sized up the three of them, only to discover that Nie Qian had a cultivation in the second Martial Emperor Realm, Han Ying in the first, and Su Mo had just reached Emperor-to-be Realm. A smile formed on the corner of his lips.
"This island is under our territory. Without our permission, you occupied it. How dare you!" The face of the young man in luxurious clothes became stern as he coldly reproached them.
Nie Qian and Han Ying were astonished by his words, while Su Mo just narrowed his eyes slightly.
The four had evil intent!
Demonic Cloud Sea was a place for practice, and every disciple in Shenwu Academy was permitted to practice there. They dared to claim that the island belonged to them. Weren't they just finding fault?
"Senior Brother, we'll leave!" Nie Qian said hurriedly with his fists cupped. He did not fear them, but his even temper made him reluctant to stir up any trouble.
Nie Qian winked at Su Mo and Han Ying, ready to leave.
Seeing this, the young man in luxurious clothes shouted loudly. "Stop!" The four of them moved quickly, blocking Su Mo's way.
"You have occupied our place, and now you want to leave?" The young man in luxurious clothes snorted.
"What do you want?" Su Mo uttered coldly with a chilly light in his eyes.
"Don't be afraid. We are disciples from Shenwu Academy, so we won't kill you and plunder your treasure.
"You have taken over our island, though, so you should compensate for it." The young man in luxurious clothes laughed slightly.
"How much?" Nie Qian frowned and asked. He did not expect that they were so shameless as to extort them.
"Not too much. Each of you must pay 100 pieces of Lower Spiritual Crystals!" The young man in luxurious clothes replied with a smile.
"Why don't you just rob?" Han Ying retorted immediately, her chest heaving with anger.
It was robbery to ask for 100 Lower Spiritual Crystals.
She had just over 100 Spiritual Crystals, and the man dared to ask for 100 pieces.
With darkened faces, Su Mo and Nie Qian looked offended by the man's words. They asked for too much!
"If you refuse, then we'll have to rob!" The young man in luxurious clothes shrugged and arrogantly spoke as if he could wrap them around his finger.
He thought that since the four of them had a cultivation of the second Martial Emperor Realm, they could completely overwhelm Su Mo, Nie Qian, and Han Ying.
Furthermore, the three of them were unfamiliar to him, so they were probably not talented geniuses of the Academy. There was no need to fear them at all.
"Which House are you from?" Su Mo stepped up in front of the man and asked.
"North!" The man answered coldly and directly.
"Very good!"
Su Mo nodded indifferently and changed the subject. "You have disturbed my meditation. Hand in your storage rings as compensation and I will let you off!"
"What?" The young man in luxurious clothes was astounded by Su Mo's words. His face showed a surprised look.
They came here to extort, why were they the ones being extorted in the end?
