In the Dreamy Cloud Manor, all the geniuses who attended the banquet had left.

In the riverside pavilion, Su Mo, the Third Prince, Jia Yuanji, the Deadly Swordsman, Han Yijian, and the Rakshasa Witch, the Red Lotus sat together.

“Su Mo, your sword has reached the final stage of stage 1. With your strong physical strength, your overall strength is almost on par with mine. We all have a chance of reaching the top 40 on this Year's List. Top 100 Talents!”

Jia Yuanji said with a smile.

Su Mo's strength had gained the full approval of Jia Yuanji, so he asked Su Mo to stay overnight so that they could get to know each other.

After all, the four of them possessed extraordinary strength that far surpassed the other geniuses, so that they could communicate with each other equally.

Su Mo nodded and said, “I will try my best. As for how high I would be on the Top 100 Talent List, I don't know!”

Han Yijian said, “Su Mo, Hong Domain has never lacked geniuses. Other than you, there are others who have comprehended martial will. Among the top 20 in the Top 100 Talents List, there were over five who had comprehended martial will. “

“Oh? So many people have comprehended martial will! “

Su Mo was surprised. He thought he was the only one who had understood the will of war.

Han Yijian said seriously, “Wu Sheng, who is ranked third in the Top 100 Talents List, cultivates the Game of Inanimate Sword. It was said that his sword will had reached the Final Completion of the first stage. Terrible power. Many of the older experts in the Lv 7 True Spirit Realm could not even take a single step away from him.”

“There were also some other geniuses who were ranked higher, such as the fifth ranked Hong Qingtian, and the sixth ranked Childe Beihan. Even if they were not as strong as Wu Sheng, they were not far away!”

Su Mo's face turned serious. Wu Sheng, who was ranked third on the Top 100 Talents List, and the Prince of Flaming Cloud, who was ranked fourth, ranked fourth, both of them had the power to kill a Lv 7 True Spirit Realm martial artist in a split second. Their terrifying combat strength had actually suppressed him.

“Ha ha!”

Red Lotus sneered and said, “I said, didn't you think too much? Wu Sheng, Childe Beihan, and the others are not people we can defeat. Their power has long surpassed our imagination. All we need to do is try to reach the top 40.”

“Ha ha! The Red Lotus is right, we think too much! “

Jia Yuanji laughed and said to Su Mo, “Su Mo, not that we have no ambition, but the genius of the Great Hong Kingdom is too terrifying!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Yuanji sighed to himself and said, “Actually, our natural talents are not inferior to them. It's just that their identities and backgrounds are very good, and the nurturing they receive is far from something we can be compared to. This is an innate advantage that we cannot force!”

Su Mo shook his head and said, “I don't think so!”

“Oh? Su Mo, what do you think? “

They were shocked and looked at Su Mo curiously.

Su Mo thought for a moment and said, “Having a strong background will only give them a higher starting point than us. However, it still depends on their perseverance and talent, who can go further on the road of martial arts in the future. !”

“In addition, from a certain point of view, perseverance may be stronger than talent.”

“Determined?”

The three of them shook their heads inwardly. Perseverance is important, but without talent and resources, it would be useless no matter how strong one's perseverance was!

At night, the moon shines brightly and the stars are rare.

The four of them chatted in the pavilion until late at night. They talk about their martial arts experiences, their own experiences, and the heroes of the world.

Inside the room, Su Mo sat down cross-legged and started cultivating.

Su Mo was running the Nirvana Cultivation Method, and True Vitality in his herb field was circulating in his body.

There were seven realms in the Nirvana Cultivation Method, and Su Mo was only cultivating to the first realm. However, he had reached the peak of the first realm, and he would be able to break through the second realm at most in two days.

The first three realms of the Nirvana Cultivation Method were only at the basic stage. Only by cultivating to the fourth realm could one truly unleash the power of this cultivation method.

The night passed smoothly, and at dawn the next day, Su Mo bid farewell to Jia Yuanji and the others and left the Dreamy Cloud Manor.

Su Mo had no particular purpose. After all, he only needed to travel towards the Great Hong Empire. He can train while traveling.

As long as he could reach the Top 100 of the Holy City before the Top 100 Talent Competition began, it would be fine.

Occasionally, when he passed through the vast mountains, Su Mo would enter it to kill and hone his Infinite Sword Game.

The three sword moves of the Boundless Sword Technique were simply not fancy. What they displayed was absolute sharpness and extreme attack power.

…

On this day, the sun shone brightly, and Su Mo arrived at a country called Changyang Country.

Changyang Country was also one of the 29 small countries in Hong Domain. After Changyang Country was the largest country in Hong Domain, Great Hong Kingdom.

“Eh?”

Su Mo suddenly stopped as he flew over the small town.

The city below was a silent sight. A cold wind blew, and there was no sign of life. Instead, it was filled with a strong sense of death.

“What's going on?”

Su Mo was confused, then he descended from the clouds.

He was skilled and courageous, so he was not afraid of anything. He was ready to check it out.

The moment Su Mo landed in the city, he was immediately startled by the sight before him.

There are bodies everywhere in the city. In the streets, in the shops, and in front of the restaurants, there were corpses everywhere.

This was not what surprised Su Mo the most. What surprised him the most was that these corpses were all dried corpses. They were all skin and bones, and there was no trace of blood or flesh. That was so horrible.

Obviously, these guys have been blood-sucked.

Su Mo looked at the ground filled with dried corpses, and he almost thought that he had done it himself.

“Could it be the work of a demonic beast?”

Su Mo rejected this idea as soon as it crossed his mind.

Demonic beasts would definitely eat people directly, and not just suck blood.

Su Mo went forward to inspect the corpses and found that some of them had their necks bitten by sharp teeth, and some of his heads were pricked with fingers.

Whether it was the sharp tooth bite marks or the five finger marks that pierced through their skulls, all of them indicated that these people were all killed by human cultivators.

“Who could be so cruel? How could they directly suck the blood of others! “

Su Mo frowned. The cruelty of the person who has done this is indescribable.

Although he would also eat the blood of others, it was a characteristic of his Martial Soul. Moreover, Su Mo would never devour an innocent person.

What he ate was a demonic beast or an enemy.

But here, the entire city had been massacred, regardless of gender or age. There was not a single survivor, which showed how ruthless that person was.

After a while, Su Mo walked around the city with a grim face, trying to look for clues.

“Haha, more people come to die!”
