Chapter 400: Return to Hong Domain!

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Hong Qingxuan stepped into the fighting ring to test her combat strength and soon began to fight with the Teal Stone Puppet.

At present, she had attained Lv 6 True Spirit Realm, so she would be arranged to fight with the Teal Stone Puppets at Lv 7 and Lv 8.

Apart from her delicate attacking skills, this girl was capable of fighting those three levels above her, so she could effortlessly handle the situation before her.

A few seconds later, Hong Qingxuan defeated the three puppets.

Su Mo was moved as he watched Hong Qingxuan’s delicate figure while amidst the clouds. This talented girl could be one of the descendants of the nine palaces.

Su Mo did not rob her in Distant Ancient City, nor did he want to do that this time. He had secretly decided that she would be a candidate.

After Hong Qingxuan passed the test, Wenren Tianyi was the next person to face their challenge.

His strength was way more powerful than Hong Qingxuan’s, so he would fight with more powerful Teal Stone Puppets.

As soon as the first Teal Stone Puppet at a half step to the Enlightenment Realm showed up, Wenren Tianyi defeated him with a single move.

Then, a Teal Stone Puppet at Lv 1 Enlightenment Realm was defeated in only eight moves.

Upon seeing this, Su Mo slightly frowned as he thought that Wenren Tianyi could probably handle the three rounds of fighting.

“No wonder he’s called the one with peerless Martial Spirit,” Su Mo thought to himself.

In the meantime, Wenren Tianyi was fighting with the Teal Stone Puppet at Lv 2 Enlightenment Realm.

He used the same fistplay, but his fist force was much stronger as it punched out like the Heavenly Light.

Endless explosions quaked the earth.

In actuality, Wenren Tianyi was slightly weaker than the Teal Stone Puppet both in terms of attack and defense.

However, the Teal Stone Puppet did not have much spiritual wisdom and only attacked with sheer force.

Therefore, Wenren Tianyi wisely used his speed and agility and tangled with it for nearly 15 minutes.

Finally, he defeated the Teal Stone Puppet.

Su Mo frowned as he thought that this man was too powerful, and he could not rob him on his own.

The strongest puppets here were only Lv 2 Enlightenment Realm and had actually been defeated by him.

“Never mind! This man is indeed gifted, so I’ll let him go! He’ll be enrolled as an official disciple!” Su Mo thought secretly.

On the square.

As of now, besides Gold One, there were only three people left in the square, namely Wenren Tianyi, Hong Qingxuan, and Wu Sheng.

“Congratulations, you three have passed the test!”

Gold One looked at them and said loudly.

Gold One looked toward Wenren Tianyi and Hong Qiongxuan and said, “You two will serve as official disciples in Illuminious Palace and Evergreen Palace.”

Then, he said to Wu Sheng, “Although you can’t be enrolled as an official disciple because of your low score in the second round, you will still be an unofficial disciple serving in Brightgold Palace.”

The three nodded, and their eyes were filled with joy as they thought that they were about to receive the ancient Legacy!

“Come with me to get ready for the enrollment ceremony where you’ll receive the Legacy!”

As Gold One waved his hands, a huge air blast rushed out to take the three away.

...

In the hall where Su Mo was.

Su Mo returned to the hall and found eight huge puppets standing in front of him.

They were the protector puppets that served in the eight other palaces besides Brightgold Palace, namely Teal One, Water One, Fire One, Stone One, Wind One, Thunder One, Light One, and Dark One.

They each had a unique feature. For example, Teal One was made from a blue wood, and Thunder One was made from an unknown material and had electricity coursing through his body.

“Be safe, Holy Son! We’re all looking forward to your progress in the future and to your leadership of our Firmament Palace!”

Stone One bowed to Su Mo and gave him a jade note, saying, “This jade note has recorded the information of all the living disciples of Firmament Palace. I hope it’ll be helpful. Additionally, you’d better not show them your true identity to avoid unnecessary trouble!”

Since Su Mo had decided to leave, Stone One called on the protector puppets to see him off.

“Be safe, Holy Son!” The seven other puppets also bowed farewell to Su Mo.

“Be safe everyone!”

Su Mo nodded, thinking that he could not easily disclose his true identity because he did not know whether the disciples who used to serve in Firmament Palace were still loyal.

After pondering for a short while, he asked, “Well, what Legacy will the three who’ve passed the test receive?”

Stone One answered, “The official disciples will receive a Legacy of a half step to the Martial Emperor Realm, and the unofficial disciple will receive a legacy of Peak Martial Royal Realm!”

“What!”

Su Mo was stunned by the incredible rewards.

He thought to himself, “No wonder the talents in East Continent are so eager to get the ancient Legacy!”

However, Su Mo also knew that it would be nearly impossible to attain the achievement that the high Legacy brought them!

Take Wu Sheng as an example. Although he had received the Legacy of Peak Martial Royal Realm, he would be lucky to even reach the Martial Royal Realm at all.

Stone One added, “It’s just a small legacy. If we find they make great achievement in the future and are indeed upstanding, they’ll receive a higher level of the legacy!”

Su Mo nodded and knew he could not slack in his cultivation because as the Holy Son, the future successor of Firmament Palace, he could not be surpassed by the subordinate disciples.

“Stone One, what about the strength of you guys?”

He then surveyed the eight puppets for a while and asked with curiosity.

The nine puppets, including Stone One, were so powerful that Su Mo could not figure out their strength at all!

“We’re all at a half step to the Martial Emperor Realm!”

The flaming red Fire One answered.

“A half step to the Martial Emperor Realm?”

Hearing this, a great chill went down Su Mo’s spine as he had never expected that the strength of the puppets was this absurd.

He wondered if some of them could leave with him and help him effortlessly conquer the whole world.

In today’s Firmament Continent, Di Shi, who was the Master of Emperor Xuan Palace, had only attained the cultivation of a half step to the Martial Emperor Realm!

“Em... can... can some of you go out with me?”

A few seconds later, Su Mo took a deep breath and said with a bright smile, “I think... if some of you can guide my cultivation, I can surely accelerate my progress!”

Su Mo smiled broadly and thought it would be extremely helpful if even only one of them followed him!

“Holy Son, as the protector puppet, we belong here and are part of the nine palaces, so we can’t leave Firmament Palace!”

Stone One shook his head and said with a sigh, “If we leave here, our strength will decrease greatly, so by then, we won’t be able to assist you at all!”

“Uh!”

Hearing that, Su Mo was stunned for a while.

“Well, then I won’t force them!”

Soon after, he sighed and thought.

“Please send me out!” Su Mo said.

A few seconds later, Su Mo turned into a ray of white light and disappeared.

“Do you think that he is the right guy?”

“I’m pessimistic about that as he’s not that talented and only has the right property talent!”

“Agreed! He has limited time to prove himself, and the Trial Tester is coming up!”

Some puppets muttered afterwards.
