Chapter 1647 - Prepared To Split

Chapter 1647: Prepared To Split

“Brother Shangguan, this is the platoon leader’s living quarters!” Heng Fei said to Su Mo.

“Mm!”

Su Mo nodded his head after hearing Heng Fei’s words. Then, he strode forward to the large gates and knocked on the door.

Heng Fei did not follow Su Mo and waited in the distance for him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The door banged as Su Mo knocked on it.

“Come in!” A hoarse man’s voice came from within the palace.

Su Mo pushed open the palace doors and walked into the stone palace.

In the palace, a burly and handsome man who wore silver armor sat on the middle seat of the stone palace.

“Greetings to platoon leader!” Su Mo said in the palace and cupped his fists towards the young man while he secretly surveyed the man.

Deep and mysterious!

This platoon leader, Ren Tianya, gave Su Mo a deep and mysterious feeling. Furthermore, there was no aura around the man, only a light sense of dominance and power.

“Mm!”

The silver-armored man casually acknowledged him before he said, “Shangguan Hao, from today onwards you are the Squadron Leader of the 15th Squadron.”

Su Mo was shocked but he immediately realized that the platoon leader already knew what had happened.

Since that was the case, it was great that Su Mo wouldn’t need to explain the matter already.

“Understood!” Su Mo saluted.

“Mm, lead your squadron well. You are dismissed!” Ren Tianya did not bother to converse further with Su Mo and dismissed the latter after two sentences had been exchanged.

Su Mo nodded his head and left swiftly. Since the platoon leader was not concerned with him, Su Mo did not have to bother talking.

With that, Su Mo turned and left the stone palace.

“Let’s go!”

Su Mo walked towards Heng Fei and beckoned him to leave.

Heng Fei immediately understood that Su Mo had settled things with the platoon leader and had been officially recognized as the squadron leader.

“Brother Shangguan, you need to move into Zhu Ying’s stone palace!” Heng Fei’s body jerked and immediately chased after Su Mo.

Squadron leaders would live in the biggest stone palace in the city and hence, Su Mo would naturally stay in Zhu Ying’s stone palace.

...

“Not bad!”

Su Mo arrived at Zhu Ying’s stone palace and remarked. The size of this stone palace was much larger, perhaps by 1.5 times, than his previous stone palace.

Furthermore, Zhu Ying had designed the palace in a very nice style. A cool animal skin cloth lay over a purple set of wooden chairs and tables, giving off a grand feeling.

At that moment, Su Mo was seated on the main seat in the middle of the palace. Four young men stood in front of him.

Among these four men, aside from Heng Fei, were the three squad leaders.

The names of these three were Ge Li, Guo Yun and Wang Xi.

“Squadron leader, Lai Xu and the other 6 squad leaders followed Zhu Ying. I am afraid they will not return!” The tall and sturdy Ge Li cupped his fists towards Su Mo.

“Do they dare to leave the Red Dragon Camp of their own accord?” Su Mo asked. If that was the case, they were committing a serious crime.

“I don’t think so. However, the Zhu Family of Zhu Ying is strong and they will think of a way to transfer the army of the 15th squadron and the other squadrons. They may even do so for the other platoons!” Ge Li warned.

“That’s alright, as long as they don’t return!” Su Mo waved his hand dismissively. He was glad that they wouldn’t return.

“Heed my order. For the 6 squads without squad leaders and my 29th squad, select new squad leaders. I will leave this matter to the 3 of you!” Su Mo instructed. He did not trust nor distrust these 3 men, but he wouldn’t dismiss them.

It didn’t matter whether the 3 were loyal to him or not.

“Understood!” Ge Li and the other 2 squad leaders immediately agreed. They were previously anxious about whether they would be punished by the new squadron leader, Shanggaun Hao. After all, they had previously acted on Zhu Ying’s orders.

However, they had not expected that not only would Su Mo not pressure them, he also assigned them an important mission.

“Mm, you guys may leave now!” Su Mo waved his hand and the three men left the stone palace subsequently, leaving Heng Fei with Su Mo.

“Heng Fei, it is up to your abilities whether the 29th squad leader position will be yours!” Su Mo’s gaze fell upon Heng Fei as he said.

He did not directly assign Heng Fei to be the new squad leader, as that wasn’t possible. If Heng Fei wasn’t strong enough, even if Su Mo directly pushed him the squad leader position, Heng Fei would be overtaken by other stronger men.

“Hehe, rest assured Brother Shangguan. I will definitely obtain the squad leader position of the 29th squad!” Heng Fei was confident and his eyes scrunched into a fine line on his chubby face.

“It’s great that you have confidence. I will wait for your good news!” Su Mo laughed good-naturedly.

A few moments later, Heng Fei left the palace.

Su Mo did not have anything to do and hence he entered the cultivation room and sat down cross-legged.

As he refined his Dark Force, he started to ponder a few matters. Although it was becoming more difficult to raise his cultivation rank. Su Mo had the confidence that he could raise his cultivation rank to the Rank 6 Martial Honorable Realm or even the Rank 7 Martial Honorable Realm within the next 2 years.

By then, Su Mo thought that it would be possible for him to obtain the first-ranked position in the Sky Dragon Contest with his strength.

As such, he wasn’t too worried about his cultivation rank.

Su Mo was frustrated over two matters at the current moment. The first was the Gate of Reincarnation, while the second was the merging of the five elements.

As for the Gate of Reincarnation, Su Mo could not do anything about it just then as he had no leads on it. He decided to settle the matter in the future.

On the other hand, Su Mo had delayed the merging of the five elements for far too long. Not even mentioning the successful merging of all five elements, it would already be a good thing if he could merge the three elements, water, wood and fire!

“I would have to pay a price to reach a goal. Perhaps I should split that chaotic energy first!” After a long while of pondering, Su Mo silently uttered through gritted teeth.

He had stored the thin thread of chaotic energy that he had extracted from the Chaotic Dawn Stone in Ming Xu Galaxy.

There wasn’t much use for the chaotic energy if he left it alone and hence, Su Mo decided to split it apart. It might end up being useful for his enlightenment.

Even if he was unable to achieve enlightenment with it, it was also alright for it to be wasted.

The Sorcerer Tribesmen would arrive for him soon.

If Su Mo couldn’t raise his strength quickly in the short run, he would be in danger. Although he was in Saint Royal City now, he might still encounter a secret assassination attempt by a Sorcerer Tribe expert.

Merging the elements was the best way for Su Mo to raise his strength quickly.

With the increase in his cultivation rank, the number of ranks that Su Mo could overpower at his current rank was decreasing.

As long as he could merge the water, wood and fire properties, his strength would definitely shoot up. Granted, Su Mo himself wasn’t sure how strong he would end up.

When he was in the Martial Emperor Realm, it was easy for Su Mo to overpower the strength of average martial artists who were 7 to 8 ranks higher than him.

However now that he was a Rank 3 Martial Honorable, there was no way for him to display such exceptional strength.

Instead, once he managed to merge three properties, his strength could double instantaneously.

As he thought about this, Su Mo decided to do it. He immediately closed both his eyes and washed out all irrelevant thoughts in his head. Thereafter, he allowed his mind to seep into his elixir field and seek out the thin thread of chaotic energy in it.
