“Wu…!” Qin Zhi’s expression changed a lot when he heard that. He had fought Hu Mei’er before, so he knew how powerful she was. Now that Su Mo wanted to fight Hu Mei’er, he had to put a stop to it.

Su Mo stopped him before he could finish his sentence.

“If you don’t dare to, I take back what I said!” Su Mo did not reply to Cui Yan as he stared daggers at Hu Mei’er.

“I…!” Hu Mei’er shuddered as she stared at Su Mo. She had even begun to stutter. Somehow, something about Su Mo’s gaze made her feel afraid.

But she felt angry when she heard Su Mo’s words of contempt and that look of disdain on his face. They were alike in terms of training levels, and yet he was being so arrogant.

“How much do you wager?” Hu Mei’er asked coldly.

“How about all the Dawn Stones and treasures you have?” Su Mo said in a low voice. He did not have any Dawn Stones with him, but he was positive he would not fail.

Hu Mei’er and Cui Yan squinted, questioning his confidence.

They exchanged glances and noted the doubt each of them had. The person before them was quite sure of himself. Could he really be that great?

They had been in the Palmy Branch for a few hundred years and yet they had not heard of him. Obviously, he could not be the powerful genius he claimed to be.

Qin Zhi got anxious. What would happen if Wu Shan failed, given the confidence he had?

But he calmed down when he reminded himself that Wu Shan was the one who had passed the test with highly difficult Talent Gong. So he stepped back.

Cui Yan paused briefly and then nodded at Hu Mei’er, giving her permission to place a bet.

“Alright, I’m betting all of my Dawn Stones and treasures. We’ll have one battle,” Hu Mei’er nodded and continued, “If you go back on your word, even if I let you go, the Holy Pavilion won’t!”

“All is well!” Su Mo chuckled, urging her to start.

Both Hu Mei’er and Su Mo moved towards the large crystal stone just now.

There, they explained their bet to the members of the Pavilion, and then placed their hands on the crystal stone.

“These two are going all out!”

“Who is that?”

“I think he’s here to avenge Qin Zhi!”

“Defeating Hu Mei’er isn’t going to be easy!”

Many people paid attention to Su Mo and Hu Mei’er because they had placed big bets. The amount of Dawn Stones and various treasures combined on an Eighth Grade, High Rank fighter was quite a lot.

Qin Zhi and Cui Yan looked dignified. In their opinion, neither Su Mo nor Hu Mei’er could afford to lose this battle.

Su Mo placed his hand on the crystal stone. It heated up like hot soldering iron at an extreme temperature.

He did not even have to trigger it, for his mental strength (or rather, his Spiritual Soul) entered the crystal stone by itself.

Within the crystal stone was a vast, empty space.

Mental strength was invisible and could be transformed into various forms in the crystal stone according to one’s wishes.

Whoosh!

Right then, a dazzling sword light blasted out in front of him at top speed, aiming for Su Mo’s Spiritual Soul power.

Hu Mei’er took the initiative and attacked with her mental strength in the form of the dazzling sword light.

Without hesitation, Su Mo concentrated and transformed his mental strength into a large shield.

Boom!

The sword light struck the shield, shaking the void. The shield was untouched, but the sword light was directly deflected.

One attack was all it took to show who was weaker and who was not.

“How’s this possible?” Hu Mei’er’s cry of surprise sounded from the sword light. She attacked with all her might but her Spiritual Soul ended up having to endure a massive shock.

“This is going to be interesting!” Su Mo muttered. Next, his mental strength transformed the shield into a long sword, and then a spear, a mountain peak, a giant beast, an old tree, and so on.

He was not in a rush to fight Hu Mei’er. Instead, he developed a keen interest in the space within the crystal stone.

Outside, within the walls of the Holy Pavilion.

Very soon after Su Mo and Hu Mei’er began their battle, the crowd could see Hu Mei’er’s face begin to pale.

This meant that Hu Mei’er was at a disadvantage. Mental strength was the power of the Spiritual Soul. If it was damaged in the slightest, it would surely affect the person’s vital essence.

“How’s that possible?” Cui Yan’s brows furrowed. It had only been a brief moment, and yet Hu Mei’er was already falling behind?

It seemed unbelievable to him. With Hu Mei’er’s mental strength, she could not possibly have been weakened so quickly.

“Could that fellow have sneaked up on her?” Cui Yan speculated. That might have happened at the very beginning.

“Good!” Qin Zhi, contrary to Cui Yan, was ecstatic.

He was pleased to see that Wu Shan was just as powerful as he thought. Wu Shan’s mental power was much stronger than his. He had managed to gain the upper hand in such a short time.

A small crowd had gathered in the Holy Pavilion. Hu Mei’er had gained popularity because of her good looks, but it seemed today would be her downfall.

In the crystal stone.

Su Mo’s mental strength kept changing into various forms of matter. He could only do that here.

Whoosh!

Hu Mei’er attacked again. She mobilised the most of her mental strength, turned it into a huge and extremely sharp spear, and stabbed straight at Su Mo with all her might.

Su Mo was too lazy to confront her. With a change in thought, his mental strength transformed into a huge spear and charged.

In an instant, the two spears crashed into each other.

Boom!

There was an explosion. As expected, the spear created from Hu Mei’er’s mental strength shattered into nothingness.

The people outside could not feel the violent collision, as it only existed within the crystal stone.

Uh…

In front of the crystal stone, Hu Mei’er gasped, before her body retreated.

She took several paces back before her legs gave way and she sat on the ground, her face as pale as a sheet of paper.

She had lost!

In just a matter of moments, she had been utterly defeated.

“Awesome!” Qin Zhi looked energised, his face glowing with excitement, as he cheered loudly.

Cui Yan, on the other hand, looked livid. His gaze turned cold.

The others were shocked to see this result. Who was this man who could defeat a competitor in such a short time?

“You’ve lost. Now give me everything you have!” Su Mo released the hand that had been previously pressed on the crystal stone and glanced at the woman on the ground.

“How did your mental strength get so strong?” Hu Mei’er barked. Her beautiful face had now become twisted, reluctant to accept this defeat.

“Are you going back on your word?” Su Mo retorted. In truth, he had suppressed much of his mental strength, otherwise she would not have even been there to ask.

“Hu Mei’er, you have lost the battle. Now, please hand over the resources and treasures with you!” the middle-aged man in a yellow robe with ‘Holy Pavilion’ sewn onto it approached Hu Mei’er.

He was the only middle-aged man among the staff at the Holy Pavilion, and the one with the highest level of training too. He was a Supreme Being, one whose level was much higher than the lower ranks.

“This…!” Hu Mei’er’s face sank as she slowly got up. The staff here had been monitoring the battle. She could not go against their bet.

Unwillingly, she handed Su Mo her bangle.

“This is my spatial device. Everything I own is inside!” she said.

Su Mo took it and, upon inspection, found that it contained many objects. There were over two million Higher-grade Dawn Stones and a lot more of lower quality, which should be Middle-grade Dawn Stones. There were about five million of those.

Other than that, it also had various Elixirs, swords, clothes and miscellaneous things.

“Here, please check!” Su Mo passed the spatial bangle to the yellow-robed staff member of the Holy Pavilion. At the same time, he scanned Hu Mei’er with his divine thoughts for other devices on her person.

Of course, Hu Mei’er would not dare to cheat in front of the Supreme Being.

After checking the spatial bangle and took the amount of Dawn Stones and various treasures into account, the middle-aged staff member withdrew ten percent as commission.

The remaining ninety percent was returned to Su Mo. Pleased with himself, he believed this was just the beginning. He planned to get a lot more Dawn Stones here.

“I am Wu Shan. At Eighth Grade, High Rank, I wonder which one of you is willing to battle me next?” Su Mo spoke aloud as he surveyed the crowd.

“You’re Wu Shan!” Hu Mei’er and Cui Yan exclaimed. They had heard of his name.

“So he’s Wu Shan!”

“I heard he passed the super difficult Talent Gong test!”

“Not only that, I heard he blew up two Talent Gongs!”

The crowd whispered amongst themselves after Su Mo gave his introduction.. He had already garnered some fame from when he was first accepted into the Palmy Branch.
