You won first place in the Outer Disciple Competition this year.” Lu Shaoyun and Fei Kuang went forward to greet Su Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, it’s just a title!” Su Mo smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be it a title or not, now you have become the unbeatable top disciple of the outer gate!” Lu Shaoyun said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, by the way, what kind of place is the Spiritual Pool?” Su Mo smiled and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Shaoyun said, “The Spiritual Pool is a treasured site. They say it connects the channels underneath Gale Island, so it brims with Spiritual Qi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, a treasured place indeed!” Su Mo was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! This time I’m striving to reach Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm with the rich Spiritual Qi there.” Lu Shaoyun looked excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Elder entered the hall when they were talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Follow me!” The First Elder said, glancing at the seven disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!” They responded and followed him into the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, the First Elder opened a stone gate and stepped in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven were close on his heels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the stone gate was a deep passage to the underground, which seemed bottomless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven all followed the First Elder, and after 15 minutes, they came to a stone chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone chamber was big; around 60 square meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were greeted with rich Spiritual Qi the moment they went in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the middle of the stone gate was a pool that was less than 17 square meters in diameter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pool water was milky white. It was shrouded by mist and filled with Spiritual Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What intense Spiritual Qi!”?Su Mo was astonished at Spiritual Qi in the pool, which was hundreds of times more abundant than outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not even imagine how far he would go if he cultivated here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo had never seen such a treasured place full of intense Spiritual Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, the Spiritual Qi here is enough for you seven to absorb for 24 hours. Don’t waste your time!” the First Elder said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he left the stone chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other six silently walked into the Spiritual Pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So did Su Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo immediately felt relaxed when he was shrouded by rich Spiritual Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz!

The Spiritual Qi left was not enough for him to make a breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thus began to cultivate his physical body and activated Elephant’s Strength Skill. A great many elephant shadows roared inside him and gradually enhanced his physical strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hour later, all the Spiritual Qi had been absorbed by the seven people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pool turned into a clear spring without any Spiritual Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo smiled and took a deep breath, and then he stood up to walk out of the Spiritual Pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So did the other six.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they all looked grim, and glared furiously at Su Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would attack Su Mo if he were not so powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong with you guys?” Su Mo asked, feigning innocence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Mo, you…!” Lu Shaoyun was about to lose his temper, but controlled himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew he was in the wrong to be mad at Su Mo. Absorbing Spiritual Qi depended solely on one’s abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo only absorbed Spiritual Qi so quickly, because he was able to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he vent his anger on Su Mo if he himself was slower in action?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Shaoyun felt extremely upset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had planned to strive for Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm with the rich Spiritual Qi here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it was impossible for him to break through the realm because nothing was left for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other five shared similar sentiments.\u003C\u002Fp>",1099,"2026-06-05T21:45:06.099Z",1,"novelbin.me","dfe4a5c99793990d34fbb59ad4aeaec39892a9c5e44e28572e3829a75b484dac","warrior-s-promise-chapter-164","warrior-s-promise-chapter-162",3336,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarrior-s-promise-cover.jpg"]
