Warrior's Promise

Chapter 48: Two Roommates

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Courtyard No. 730. was where Su Mo chose to live, and now that no one else had chosen this place, he was alone.

The courtyard had three rooms and Su Mo carelessly chose the one on the right.

Entering the room, he found it to be very shabby with a small area of around 10 square meters. It was only equipped with one wooden bed, a desk, and a chair.

As expected, a brochure was placed on the desk, which Su Mo read carefully.

The first several pages of it gave a detailed description of Gale Island.

As one of the four sects in Skymoon Country, Gale Island had a long history of 800 years.

At present, nearly 20,000 people were on the island, including elders, deacons, and disciples.

According to their cultivation, the disciples were classified into several levels, namely handyman disciples, outer disciples, inner disciples, as well as core disciples.

Besides them, elders were also divided into outer elders and inner elders.

Gale Island had also dozens of strict rules.

The brochure also documented hundreds of common demonic beasts and Spiritual Herbs, which really widened his horizons.

In the last pages, the brochure explained about the geographical landscape of Firmament and Continent.

Firmament and Continent was divided into five continents, namely East Continent, South Continent, West Continent, North Continent, and Central Continent. Additionally, it had 108 domains.

Skymoon Country was located in Hong Domain, East Continent and was one of the 100 countries.

After he finished reading, Su Mo felt quite shocked and could not calm down.

This world was much bigger than he thought. But as vast as Skymoon Country was, it was still small in Firmament and Continent. Thus, compared to the entire continent, it was like a drop in the bucket.

Even if a martial artist was in the Spiritual Martial Realm, he could not step out of East Continent in his entire life, let alone martial artists in the Qi Cultivation Realm.

Moreover, East Continent was just one of the five continents.

“Central Continent!”

Seeing Central Continent, Su Mo could not help thinking of Xi’er.

“How is she doing?”

“Has she led a happy life since she went back?”

After a while, Su Mo closed the brochure and helplessly sighed. He sat cross-legged and was ready to cultivate.

“The clock is ticking and time flies!”

At this moment, noises resounded in the courtyard. Su Mo felt a little confused and strode out of the room.

He found that two young men were talking to each other in the courtyard.

One was good-looking in a brocade?robe while the other was wrapped in an animal hide. He was tall and sturdy and had dark skin.

“Tell you what, as long as you follow me, I’m sure you’ll have a comfortable life here,” said the young man in the brocade?robe to the dark-skinned young man.

“Brother Li Feng, all I want is to work hard in cultivating and become an expert. Then, after returning to my village, I can protect it and the villagers,” replied the dark-skinned young man with a naive smile on his face.

“Haha! Under my protection, you’ll become an expert much easier!”

The young man in the brocade?robe confidently patted himself on his chest.

Hearing them talking, Su Mo speechlessly smiled. “These two people should be the new handyman disciples. The young man in the brocade?robe was just recruited, but he wanted to rope in the dark-skinned youth.”

In Gale Island, the handyman disciples were also affiliated with the outer gate, thus, they lived together with the outer disciples. However, due to their lower cultivations, they had to do some daily chores.

Even if some people were not in the Spiritual Martial Realm, the recommendations could help them directly become outer disciples, such as Su Mo.

“Brother, good day!”

Just then, the dark-skinned youth noticed Su Mo and respectfully paid homage to him hurriedly.

Li Feng, who was in the brocade?robe, glimpsed Su Mo, squinted his eyes, and asked, “Are you also a new disciple?”

“Yeah!” Su Mo nodded his head with a smile.

“You’re an outer disciple directly because of a recommendation!” Li Feng commented again, then confidently said with a smile, “I’m a handyman disciple, but my talent is as high as yours.”

“Is that so?”

Su Mo smiled and noncommittally shrugged.

There were many geniuses among all the handyman disciples. After all, the Purple Gold Pavilion could not discover all of the geniuses of Skymoon Country and it only recommended a few geniuses.

“Humpf! You’ll see. I’ll become world-renowned in Skymoon Country in several years,” said Li Feng coldly upon seeing Su Mo’s expression, then strode into the central room.

Su Mo still remained speechless and thought, “This guy is overconfident! He brags that he’ll be world-renowned just after he’s been recruited.”

He was arrogant, however, he was unlike Yan Qi and other people, who felt proud of themselves but looked down on others.

“Brother, my name is Niu Xiaohu. We can look after each other,” said the dark-skinned young man to Su Mo with a bow.

“I’m Su Mo.” He nodded to him.

“Brother Su Mo, since you can be an outer disciple directly, you must be a genius.”

Niu Xiaohu innocently smiled, then scratched his head and said, “I’m a little stupid. If Brother Su Mo is free in the future, I hope you can give me some instructions.”

Seeing his clean, simple, and sincere eyes, Su Mo could not help befriending him, thus, he chatted with him.

Niu Xiaohu was born into a poor family in the north of Skymoon Country. His ancestors were hunters and so was he. He had a Martial Soul of the Rank 5 Human Class, which had been the highest one in his village for hundreds of years.

Hence, he came here to attend the entrance examination. Both of his parents and the entire village laid great expectations on him.

“Xiaohu, as long as you’re resolute and have a strong heart, you’ll be a powerful man sooner or later.”

In the end, Su Mo patted him on his shoulder and encouraged him.

“Yeah!” Niu Xiaohu profoundly nodded.

Immediately, Su Mo went back to his room and cultivated cross-legged.

The circling Spiritual Qi surrounded him. The Spiritual Qi in Gale Island was 10 times richer than they were in Sunnywood City. As a result, it was much easier for him to cultivate than it was before.

Unfortunately, Su Mo was standing at the bottleneck of his cultivation, so he would not make a breakthrough within the next few days.

Time flew by. The next morning, Su Mo heard someone knocking on his door.

“Brother Su Mo!”

Just then, Niu Xiaohu’s voice resounded.

“Xiaohu, what’s up?” asked Su Mo after he opened the door.

“Brother, just now the deacon asked us to take our jade identification badges,” said Niu Xiaohu.

“Oh, let’s go now.” Su Mo nodded and walked out with Niu Xiaohu.

“Yeah, almost forget Brother Li Feng!”

After Niu Xiaohu informed Li Feng, the three of them walked toward the Sect Affairs Hall of the outer gate.

The mountainous road was crowded.

Soon, they came to Sect Affairs Hall and lined up to receive the jade identification badges.

The jade identification badges were green jade badges the size of a palm. They were very magical. If someone injected Genuine Qi into it, his identification information would appear on it.

Su Mo gently injected a trace of Genuine Qi into it, then some characters instantly appeared on it.

Name: Su Mo.

Identity: Outer Disciple.

Contribution points: zero.

Based on the brochure, contribution points were the contributions a disciple made to the sect. Contribution points were precious, for they could be used to exchange for various kinds of resources.

After receiving the jade badges, they went to the outer square.

The outer square was very big. Many disciples were practicing martial arts techniques or fighting with each other, so?it was quite noisy.

“Many people are there. Brother Su Mo and Li Feng, let’s go and have a look.”

Dozens of people were gathering at the edge of the square. They had also gone there out of curiosity.

A two-meter-high, black stele was situated there, and it had many white crystals that were inscribed around it.

Now, a young man in a yellow robe was attacking the stele. After a punch, it stayed motionless, but its crystals became luminous.

“What is it?” Su Mo asked Li Feng and Niu Xiaohu.

Niu Xiaohu shook his head, which indicated that he did not know.

“This is a stele for the ATK test, which is used to detect a martial artist’s attack force.”

Apparently, Li Feng was knowledgeable. After a smile, he provokingly looked at Su Mo and said, “Let’s compare and figure out who has a stronger attack force.”
