Chapter 308 - Suck Me Dry?
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Three black-robed men stood in an alley by the Meteorite Tower.
"Protector, that guy is probably in Meteorite Tower. What should we do?" One of the black-robed men asked the sturdy one.
After some thought, the sturdy man said, "This whole city, including the tower, is controlled by the Duanmus, so it's not appropriate to reveal ourselves here. We shall wait for him to come out himself!"
The other two nodded.
Within the cultivating room, Su Mo was like an old monk in deep meditation, with his giant Devouring Martial Soul floating in the air.
This tower had a wonderful effect for cultivation, especially the fourth floor. Here he could cultivate three times faster than in the outside world. Besides, he could clearly feel this essence, qi, and spirit could come together as one in this place. Therefore, he wanted to make full use of his time here.
In just two hours, his Nirvana Cultivation Method had reached the second realm.
As he activated the second realm of Nirvana Cultivation Method, he made great progress in increasing his cultivation and refining his Genuine Vitality.
As the days passed, it was like time had stood still in this room.
Six days later, he had attained the third realm of the Nirvana Cultivation Method. His Genuine Vitality was also purer and so was his cultivation.
His eyes glittered when he opened them. He had made great progress by cultivating here.
CRASH!
With a wave of his hand, a brilliant white light shone, and a pile of Spiritual Stones appeared, filling the whole room.
"This is all I have!" Looking at the Spiritual Stones in front of him, Su Mo was a little worried.
Now all he had was over nine million Lower Spiritual Stones. Other than the 4000 scrolls and 5,000 weapons he could sell off, nothing else was left in his storage ring.
"With these Spiritual Stones, reaching Lv 4 True Spirit Realm shouldn't be a problem!" Su Mo muttered.
He was currently at Middle Lv 3 True Spirit Realm, which was still some distance from attaining Lv 4 True Spirit Realm, so even with these nine million Lower Spiritual Stones, Su Mo was uncertain whether he could reach Lv 4.
After a short while, he took a deep breath and his eyes sharpened.
"Destroy!" Continuous explosions filled the room at Su Mo's command. Soon, the entire cultivating room was filled with a rich Spiritual Qi that enveloped Su Mo completely.
Endless Spiritual Qi was absorbed into his nine swirling Spiritual Spirals.
The Spiritual Spirals constantly shook as Su Mo's cultivation increased rapidly.
Late Lv 3 True Spirit Realm!
Peak Lv 3 True Spirit Realm!
With just in 20 breaths, his cultivation had reached Peak Lv 3 True Spirit Realm. Spiritual Qi still continued to pour into his body, as he fought to break through the bottleneck of Lv 4 True Spirit Realm.
BOOM!
These Spiritual Spirals were vibrating violently as the rich Spiritual Qi poured into them.
Su Mo's method of breaking past the barrier in cultivation was very simple and even considered primitive. He depended on endless Spiritual Qi to push past the bottleneck.
This method only applied to Su Mo. Any other martial artist would explode if they absorbed as much Spiritual Qi as Su Mo did.
After 15 minutes, his nine Spiritual Spirals finally reached the critical point. With a muffled sound, his Spiritual Spirals expanded rapidly and his Genuine Vitality also skyrocketed.
Another 15 minutes passed before the cultivating room returned to its original state and all the Spiritual Qi had dissipated. Su Mo then stood up.
"Early Lv 4 True Spirit Realm!" Su Mo might be smiling, but he let out a heavy sigh in his heart. It had taken more than 9 million Lower Spiritual Stones to reach Early Lv 4 True Spirit Realm. It was taking more and more Spiritual Stones to level up the higher his cultivation was.
He estimated that it would take more than 10 million Lower Spiritual Stones for him to reach Lv 5 True Spirit Realm.
"Next I will work on improving my martial arts techniques, and when I'm done, I'll be strong enough to compete in Top-100-talent Competition!" Su Mo thought.
He had wanted to upgrade his cultivation to Peak Lv 4 True Spirit Realm before the Top-100-talent Competition, but now that he had exhausted his supply of Spiritual Stones, this was out of the question.
Besides, even if he had enough Spiritual Stones and continued to rely on the power of this tower, he would still not be able to reach Peak Lv 4 True Spirit Realm within a few days. His nine Spiritual Spirals had seriously hampered his cultivation speed.
Next, Su Mo began to practice swordplay in this cultivating room.
Meteorite Tower had the same effect on martial arts techniques practice.
He started to practice moves from Infinite swordsmanship.
The first movement—Infinite Universe!
The second movement—Infinite Supremacy!
The third movement—Infinite Heaven and Earth!
What was the meaning of infinite? Infinite was to be limitless. The swordsmanship pursued unlimited levels of sharpness, fierceness, and attack power.
It was similar to Nirvana Cultivation Method, whereby the essence was to annihilate and destroy. The Nirvana Genuine Vitality also contained the power to destroy.
In the cultivating room, the shining and sharp sword radiance was unstoppable.
The cultivating room had been strengthened by a defense formation, so Su Mo could not damage this room at all even with his full power.
Time passed quickly. Another nine days passed before Su Mo's two weeks were up.
SLASH!
Suddenly, a cold and unstoppable sword radiance appeared and sliced at the wall.
SLASH!
It sliced through the formation and left a one-foot-long mark on the wall.
"Finally, Infinite swordsmanship has reached the Great Completion!" Smiling, Su Mo withdrew his sword and stood still. The power of Infinite swordsmanship in the Great Completion was more than twice as powerful as that of Divine Wind Swordplay in Completion.
"It's time to go to Holy City of Top 100!" Su Mo then left the room and walked out of Meteorite Tower.
After leaving Meteorite City, Su Mo flew northeastwards. Holy City of Top 100 was in the northeast area of the Great Hong Empire, roughly 7,000 miles from Meteorite City. He would take six, maybe seven days to arrive.
The Top-100-talent Competition would only be held 11 days later, so Su Mo decided to take it easy, cultivating along the way to the city.
SWOOSh!
About two hours after he left Meteorite City, Su Mo suddenly heard a roaring sound behind him.
He turned and saw three black-robed men rapidly approaching.
"You're not getting away!"
A cold shout burst out as they quickly surrounded Su Mo.
"Are you with the people I'd killed in Brightsun Country?" Looking at them, Su Mo was surprised these people managed to track him down.
"Yes! How dare you kill our men! Death will be your only fate!" The sturdy black-robed man exclaimed, "Today, I will suck you dry!"
The sturdy man's powerful aura indicated that his cultivation had reached Lv 5 True Spirit Realm and the other two people were at Lv 4 True Spirit Realm. They were much stronger than the black-robed men Su Mo had killed.
"Suck me dry?" Su Mo's face darkened, then he said with a cold smile, "I'm sorry to say that you might have the ability to suck other's blood, but so do I. Let me be the first to suck you dry!"
Immediately, Su Mo activated his Devouring Martial Soul.
