Su Mo could not help trembling.
Bloody mist exploded from his whole body, streaming out from his pores. In the blink of an eye, he looked like a bloody man.
Su Mo gritted his teeth and persisted for a while. He then sighed and opened his eyes helplessly.
He had failed!
"The condensation of the fifth Spiritual Spiral is so terrifying. Even with the strength of my body, I still can't get through it!" He murmured with a frown.
Su Mo was a very determined and strong-willed person. He could bear the pain and persist, but he knew that given his body's current strength, he would definitely collapse if he were to persist in condensing the fifth Spiritual Spiral.
Given his current strength, once his body collapsed, that meant he would die as well.
If one could master Nine Spirals Mystique, he would have ninefold power. However, it was impossible for most people to master it completely. It was already very difficult for them to condense three or four Spiritual Spirals.
"No worries. With the current speed of ascending my physical strength, I should be able to condense nine Spiritual Spirals before I break through the Spiritual Martial Realm."
Su Mo was relieved on second thought. His current strength had already superseded martial artists at the same level. Sooner or later, he would be able to condense nine Spiritual Spirals, so long as his strength improved steadily.
Su Mo took a deep breath and cast away all distracting thoughts. Then he wiped the blood stains off his body and changed into a clean moon white robe.
He took a healing elixir to recover his injuries.
His injuries were not serious. He had stopped condensing the Spiritual Spiral in time.
Bang!
At this moment, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and footsteps could be heard.
"Are they back already?"
Su Mo smiled and walked out of the room at once.
"You guys are back so fast..."
Su Mo walked out of the room and was about to speak, but before he could finish, his face changed and he stopped abruptly.
At the gate of the courtyard, he saw Li Feng, Zhou Xin, and Niu Xiaohu's floating footsteps. They stumbled into the room.
Their faces were pale and they had blood stains all over their bodies. They had suffered serious injuries.
Especially Niu Xiaohu, he had suffered the most serious injuries and was still coughing blood.
"What happened?"
Su Mo hurried forward and asked with a gloomy face.
"Senior Brother Su Mo, we... Cough! Cough!"
Niu Xiaohu was about to speak when he saw Su Mo but could not help coughing.
"Li Feng, tell me, what's going on?"
Su Mo turned his head and looked at Li Feng.
"Su Mo, we had a clash with the disciples of Scorching Sun Sect. They injured us!" Li Feng said lividly, gritting his teeth.
"The disciples of Scorching Sun Sect? How could you have a conflict with them?" Su Mo asked, frowning.
Li Feng was ashamed and kept silent.
"Senior Brother Su, we went to the martial practice field at the Mansion of the City Governor and saw the disciples of the Four Sects exchanging martial arts skills. So we went over to watch."
Zhou Xin said in a deep voice, "But Scorching Sun Sect's disciples insulted our Gale Island's disciples. Li Feng argued with them, and then we clashed with them. They're outnumbered, so we're not their opponents!"
"How did they insult our Gale Island's disciples?"
Su Mo asked coldly with a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes.
"They said... the disciples from Gale Island who were sent here are all trash and waste. We're all good-for-nothing!" Zhou Xin said resentfully.
"How many people do they have? What are their cultivations?"
Su Mo's face was indifferent, but his eyes were flashing with rage.
"There are over a dozen of them. Most of them are experts at the Lv 2 Spiritual Martial Realm, and a few of them are Lv 3 experts," Zhou Xin said.
"Come, show me the way!" Su Mo nodded and said.
"Senior Brother Su..."
They were surprised. Zhou Xin and Niu Xiaohu kept silent.
Li Feng sighed and shook his head, saying, "Su Mo, let's forget it! Although you're powerful, you're still outnumbered. Besides, there are many disciples of the Scorching Sun Sect. Certainly, some of them are at Lv 4 or even Lv 5 Spiritual Martial Realm. If you're going to fight against them for us, it's too dangerous!"
"Li Feng, I treat you all like my brothers. Now that my brothers are being bullied, how can I ignore it?"
Su Mo looked towards Li Feng, waving his hand, and said indifferently, "I'll help you fight back, don't worry! These low beings are unable to hurt me."
"Let's go!"
He walked out first.
Li Feng and the other two looked complexed. Su Mo was choosing to be the enemy of numerous disciples of the Scorching Sun Sect for their sake. This friendship really touched them.
They hurriedly stepped out and led Su Mo to the martial practice field at the Mansion of the City Governor.
The martial practice field was very large. This was where the city governor trained his soldiers. It covered a radius of hundreds of meters.
At this point, two people were fighting on the field with about 80 people gathered around them. The atmosphere was very lively.
One of the young men fighting was dressed in a yellow suit, the other in gray. Both had cultivation at the peak Lv 2 Spiritual Martial Realm.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The wind was whistling, and fist shadows were flying everywhere. They were constantly colliding.
After they had exchanged over a dozen strikes, the youth in yellow was gradually gaining the upper hand, slowly suppressing the youth in gray.
The youth in yellow launched a heavy attack. Finally, after several strikes, he hit his opponent with his palm.
Bang!
His opponent started to cough blood, then collapsed onto the ground.
"Ma Yue is so powerful!"
"Yeah! He has already defeated eight Gale Island disciples in a row! He's an unstoppable rival!"
"The disciples of Gale Island are too weak! Even with equal cultivation, they were still no match for him!"
"..."
The disciples from several big sects were discussing it.
Upon hearing the praises from the crowd, the yellow-clad youth, Ma Yue felt proud. He swept across the crowd and said arrogantly, "Which of you Gale Island disciples still don't accept it? Just come up and fight me! I'll make sure you're convinced!"
No one did. Over a dozen Gale Island disciples who were watching kept silent.
Seeing that no one from Gale Island dared to fight him, Ma Yue sneered and said disdainfully, "Haha! Gale Island is really a dump. Not only is your sect a dump but the disciples are also trash. I really wonder how Gale Island can produce such a genius like Duan Jingtian!"
Ma Yue looked totally arrogant. He was full of contempt towards Gale Island.
Over a dozen Gale Island disciples felt their faces turn red with burning sensation.
Ma Yue was belittling them, scoffing at Gale Island and all its disciples.
However, these disciples dared not voice their discontent as their cultivations were not high. The highest one was only at the peak Lv 2 Spiritual Martial Realm.
Given their abilities, they could never defeat Ma Yue.
"I don't accept...!"
At this moment, a faint sound came from afar.
