Chapter 51: The Five Geniuses

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

In the early morning, just after sunrise, the sun dyed the clouds red.

Su Mo opened the door and walked out.

“Huff!”

After deeply inhaling the fresh air, Su Mo was full of high spirit.

Over several days’ cultivating, his Elephant’s Strength Skill had reached the third realm successfully, and his physical force had been greatly improved.

When this trial test was over, he would start cultivating Lv 4 Elephant’s Strength Skill.

He owed his Completion Realm to the rich Spiritual Qi from heaven and earth in the Gale Island; otherwise, he would have to double the time to achieve that.

Creak!

After a sound, the two neighboring doors opened at the same time. Li Feng and Niu Xiaohu stepped out.

“Senior Brother Su Mo, morning.” Greeted Niu Xiaohu with a smile.

“Xiaohu, you’ve progressed a lot in cultivation recently.”

Said Su Mo with a smile. He could sense that the Qi in Niu Xiaohu had been enhanced a lot so that he was at the middle stage of the Lv 8 Qi Cultivation Realm.

“Ha ha! Due to the rich Spiritual Qi in Gale Island, I can cultivate much faster than when I was at home,” replied Niu Xiaohu with a naive smile.

“Su Mo, Qingyuan Trial Test will begin today. Let’s contend with each other to see who can get a higher ranking.”

Li Feng looked at Su Mo, his eyes surged with fighting desire.

Since Su Mo defeated him in terms of the attack last time, Li Feng had worked harder these days and wanted to defeat Su Mo.

As a result, he had made a huge progression in cultivation.

Though he was at the middle stage of the Lv 9 Qi Cultivation Realm, his cultivation was much stronger than that of the peak stage.

Besides the attack, the overall strength of a martial artist was also decided by speed, defense, and fighting experience.

Thus, in his view, he was as powerful as Su Mo, and he was very confident in this trial test.

“Deal! How about 20,000 taels of gold?”

Su Mo wore a thought-provoking smile on the corner of his lips.

“Deal!”

“Yeah! Let’s go!”

The three walked together towards the outer square where the Sect had summoned all new disciples.

Now, more than 300 people were waiting there. Each one was excited and wanted to cause a stir in this trial test.

“On average, this year’s new disciples are all powerful,” said Su Mo, after looking around.

More than 40 of the 300 people were at the Lv 9 Qi Cultivation Realm.

Even the lowest ones were at the Lv 7 Qi Cultivation Realm.

This year, Gale Island laid on higher threshold requirements. As a result, only a few disciples would be recruited, but each was an elite.

The four sects in Skymoon Country almost had the same rule that if the new disciple could not reach the Spiritual Martial Realm within two years, he would be expelled.

The four sects were very powerful, so they would definitely reject wastes.

Each year, Gale Island would expel many people.

Hence, Gale Island laid on higher threshold requirements this year.

Su Tianhao and Su Hai of the Sus had joined the Sky Yuan Sect for one year, so if they remained at the Qi Cultivation Realm and could not reach the Spiritual Martial Realm within one year, they would also be expelled by the Sky Yuan Sect.

“These people aren’t threats, and our biggest opponents are those at the Spiritual Martial Realm.”

Hearing this, Li Feng shook his head and seriously said, “Eight of these new disciples are at the Spiritual Martial Realm, who are powerful rivals, especially the five super geniuses with Martial Soul of the Rank 8 Human Class.”

“Are there five people with Martial Soul of the Rank 8 Human Class?”

Su Mo was surprised. He had known that four people had Martial Souls of the Rank 8 Human Class, including Yan Qi, Yan Lan, Yan Xing and Wu Kui. However, there was another one.

“Yeah! Five people’s Martial Souls are at Rank 8 Human Class, and they’re called ‘the new five geniuses’. Each one is highly talented, and a rumor is that the Sect will spare no efforts to cultivate them,” said Li Feng.

“The five geniuses?”

Su Mo smiled. Since he was cultivating in seclusion these days, it was the first time that he heard of it.

“Look, here comes Yan Qi, one of the five geniuses.”

“An expert at the Spiritual Martial Realm has such a strong momentum!”

Suddenly, uproars flowed through the crowd.

Su Mo turned around and found that two young men and a lady were slowly walking forward. The handsome young man in yellow emitted a strong and unscrupulous Qi.

He was Yan Qi.

As for the two people next to him, they were Yan Xing and a maid in blue, Yan Lan.

As they walked to the square, the crowd gave way to them.

Full of arrogance, Yan Qi looked around. When seeing Su Mo, he got a cold smile on the corner of his lips.

Su Mo clearly saw his expression, but he did not treat a martial artist at the Lv 1 Spiritual Martial Realm as a threat at all.

Cao Yuan, Feng Zilan, and Wu Kui arrived soon after Yan Qi.

As sturdy as Niu Xiaohu, Cao Yuan was taller than Niu Xiaohu. Wearing a stony face, he carried a long black saber on his back, making him mighty and domineering.

Unlike Cao Yuan, Feng Zilan was much weaker. She was not that beautiful but had a nice body, which was very attractive to men.

When the four geniuses arrived, the crowd suddenly quieted. The four seemed to be telepathic and stared at each other while fighting desire surged in their eyes.

Wu Kui was wearing a black robe and his eyes were ghastly cold. He pulled out his red tongue to lick his lips. A sneer appeared in the corner of his lips.

Full of confidence, he would be the No.1 of this trial test. Whoever wanted to stand in his way would be killed, including the other four geniuses.

After all new disciples reached the square, the crowd’s attention was drawn to a man walking towards them from afar.

This young man in a white robe was good-looking with a smile on his face.

He seemed to walk slowly. Actually, he walked very quickly and just in a blink, he stood in front of the crowd.

He carried a huge white bow on his back. Although he appeared to be common without any Qi in his body, everyone could sense an invisible pressure from him.

Su Mo could not help but squint his eyes upon looking at the young man. He could feel that he was much more powerful than Wu Kui.

“He is Luo Qianfan, one of the five geniuses.” Li Feng explained to Su Mo.

“Luo Qianfan?” murmured Su Mo.

He remembered the name by heart.

He knew that the young man would be his biggest rival.

Su Mo felt somewhat excited about this Qingyuan Trial Test, where there must be fierce competitions.

“He keeps a low profile and rarely appears in public. It’s said that he has some relationship with the island, which remains a mystery to verify,” said Li Feng.

“Senior Brother Li Feng and Su Mo, why do I feel that he’s common?” asked Niu Xiaohu puzzledly while scratching his head.

“Ho ho!”

Su Mo smiled at his words and said, “Xiaohu, you should see through a person. Though he doesn’t reveal his Qi, his eyes are profound and energy is extremely deep. Feel through and you’ll find him different.”

“Is that so? I’ll have a try.”

Niu Xiaohu nodded his head.

When they were chatting, dozen of strong imposing manners suddenly got closer from afar.
