Su Mo’s heart tightened as he passed through the space pavement. Did the Sorcerer Tribesmen want to attack him straightaway?
His senses heightened and he became extra cautious. Yet, before he could take any preventive measures, a bright light flashed in front of him and he arrived in Kunyun Small World.
“Is this Kunyun Small World?”
Su Mo hovered in mid air and looked at the large, broad scenery below him. There was no sight of any human being on the plains or even the mountains where he was.
He couldn’t help but remember the scene of Firmament World being destroyed by the Sorcerer Tribe and he could only sigh deeply.
While this Small World appeared similar to Firmament World, his destiny in it would be different!
Shoosh!
Right at that moment, everything changed and Su Mo felt his cultivation rank being sucked away from him. Instantly, he fell from the sky, like a crippled bird who had lost its wings.
“My god!”
Su Mo’s heart jumped and he suddenly recalled that his cultivation rank would be restarted at zero once he arrived at the Small World.
Swoosh!
Flipping round in the air, Su Mo finally managed to stabilize himself and safely land on the ground.
It was a fall a distance of a hundred feet, but it had already made him dog tired.
Once he was on the ground, Su Mo scanned his surroundings. Upon seeing that no one was near him, he managed to relax as he heaved a sigh of relief.
At that point, he carefully checked himself. His cultivation rank, mental strength, Fighting Soul strength, physical strength were all suppressed to the bare minimum.
His cultivation rank was at the pitiful Rank 1 Qi Cultivation Realm and his mental strength was so weak it could not be pulled out of his physical body. At the same time, his physical body was also powerless. His eyesight, hearing and all his other senses were diminished.
All in all, every ability that he had had as a high ranked martial artist had disappeared.
Su Mo tried to activate the Five Divine Elixirs in his body and, thankfully for him, the Divine Elixirs could still vibrate in his body. However, the Dark Force in his Divine Elixirs could only shake very slightly.
Yet, although his cultivation rank had been suppressed, he was a Martial Honorable and he could still retain the special abilities of his 5 elemental Dark Force.
If that was the case, while he was only a Rank 1 Qi Cultivation Realm martial artist, his five elemental Dark Force could merge together and it could raise his overall strength to surpass the powers of a Rank 1 Qi Cultivation Realm martial artist. In the best case scenario, he was as strong as a Rank 8 or 9 Qi Cultivation Realm martial artist.
Of course, everyone else would be like him as they were all geniuses. They would not have the abilities of a martial artist in the Rank 1 Qi Cultivation Realm.
Su Mo tried to activate the Devouring Fighting Soul next. The Devouring Fighting Soul could be used but Su Mo would be barely able to sustain it. That was because his mental strength was extremely weak and so the devouring power would also be weakened.
“What a strange ability, is this because of this Small World?” Su Mo muttered under his breath. Thereafter, he flipped his palm over to retrieve the jade pendant.
As he gripped the palm-sized jade pendant, Su Mo immediately found the answer to his question as his eyes brightened in wonder.
The suppression of his cultivation rank was due to the jade pendant and not the Small World.
He could sense a clear but strange connection between himself and the jade pendant. As such, the suppression of his cultivation rank must be related to the jade pendant.
Su Mo could be certain that once he had destroyed the jade pendant or abandoned it, his true cultivation rank would return to himself.
However, Su Mo did not dare to take the risk of doing so for fear of being eliminated and sent straight out of Kunyun Small World.
“I have to regain my strength!”
Su Mo sighed deeply and did not ponder too much over the matter. If he fell behind other geniuses, he would definitely lose if he met other stronger opponents.
He glanced at the jade pendant and did not find any bright light nor strange movement on it. This meant that they was no other geniuses within a 10 kilometer radius around him.
Kunyun Small World was a 10,000 kilometer radius wide small world. The arrival of 6,000 geniuses into the world meant that each one of them was dispersed in one corner of the vast world.
Su Mo now felt that the jade pendant had a reasonable sensing ability. It made sense for it to allow the geniuses to only sense one another within 10 kilometers of each other.
However, Su Mo’s eyebrows started to etch together. It wasn’t a good thing for him to not have any genius around him because that meant that his cultivation rank would not increase in the short run.
After all, he could only recover his cultivation rank once he defeated others.
Before the Martial Honorable Realm, eliminating a competitor would allow one’s cultivation rank to increase by a whole realm.
Su Mo was only a Rank 1 Qi Cultivation Realm martial artist and he could not fly. Furthermore, he could not use any treasures on him, such as the spiritual swords. Once he used them, he would be eliminated directly.
As such, his current speed was too slow and he would need a very long time if he wanted to walk 10 kilometers.
Roar!
Right at that moment, Su Mo vaguely heard a beast’s roar reverberate in his ears and his eyes widened brilliantly.
Oh right, beasts!
Su Mo could borrow the strength of a beast to rush to find other geniuses.
Although he could not attack flying beasts in the sky, he could climb onto the backs of ground beasts.
After that, Su Mo could head over to towns with inhabitants and find weapons to increase his own strength.
He needed to increase his strength quickly and last until the end in the small world.
Shoosh!
Su Mo rushed forward quickly. However, he was being extra careful with his weak strength. If he met a strong beast, he could be instantly crushed.
Although destroying the jade pendant himself would allow him to be teleported to the outside world and save his life, Su Mo would be eliminated straightaway.
He wasn’t in a dense rainforest but only a large barren plain and hence, the likelihood of him meeting an exceptionally strong demonic beast was low.
Not long later, Su Mo discovered a demonic beast that looked like a bear at the foot a mountain.
However, this demonic beast’s aura was strong and it was a beast in the Spiritual Martial Realm.
Su Mo carefully retreated backward and continued weaving his way through the tall grass of the plain.
Occasionally, he would meet too-low-in-rank beasts and too-high-in-rank beasts, or even snakes which were not suitable for his use.
After a long while, Su Mo finally found a suitable demonic beast that he could use.
This was a green-eyed tiger that was about 10 feet long. It was a Rank 7 beast and its strength was equivalent to a Rank 7 Qi Cultivation Realm martial artists. As such, it made the perfect beast for Su Mo to use to move around.
Su Mo felt familiar with such a green-eyed tiger. After all, back when he had participated in the Qingyuan Trial Test at Gale Island, he had devoured a green-eyed tiger demonic beast.
The beast was currently asleep in the grass and Su Mo did not hesitate before he rushed forward towards it.
Roar!
The green-eyed tiger was on high alert and it immediately discovered Su Mo as it stood up and roared towards the sky.
Shoosh!
Su Mo dashed towards the green-eyed tiger and punched his fists strongly against the tiger.
Roar!
The green-eyed tiger roared again as angry fires raged behind the dazzling green eyes on its face. It could feel that Su Mo had a weak cultivation rank and it was enraged that Su Mo had dared to attack it.
Shoosh!
With a side step, the green-eyed tiger’s body jerked and it pounced towards Su Mo, flashing its sharp claws out for an attack.
Boom!
Su Mo and the demonic beast exchanged blows continuously but the outcome of the battle was clear and the green-eyed tiger eventually succumbed to Su Mo.
Without hesitation, Su Mo dashed forward to the tiger and tried to land one final blow on it to prevent it from escaping.
A short while later, the pitiful green-eyed tiger, whose eyes swelled painfully and whose face was pale, was dashing through the vast plain with Su Mo on its back.
A few hundred thousand experts of various superpowers hovered in the air above Lake Guang. The space pavement to Kunyun Small World had already closed.
Everyone stared intently in front of them as a large water screen fell before them.
This water screen was a few dozen meters long and it was like a large projection of every corner of Kunyun Small World.
The location of every genius was displayed clearly on the water screen.
A large array had covered Kunyun Small World before them and the water screen projection array was one among many of them.
“This Su Mo is intelligent to use a demonic beast to rush around!”
Through the water screen, the sight of Su Mo riding a green-eyed tiger did not escape the notice of the crowd’s eyes.
After all, Su Mo was rather famous and he was a person that many people took note of.
The king nodded his head silently as he saw Su Mo’s projection on the water screen. Su Mo was considered lucky to be in the circumstances that he was in now.
Up until now, 3 people had already been eliminated. One was a rather unlucky fellow who had landed directly in the middle of a city once he entered Kunyun Small World.
It was originally a good thing to land in a city, but that man had landed precisely in the manor of a large family and had been regarded as an infiltrator. As such, the inhabitants of the city attacked him mercilessly.
Seeing that there was no way to escape, that man destroyed his jade pendant and saved his life.
The king smiled slightly as he looked at other places on the water projection. His two sons and daughter were also fairly lucky as they were not in danger.
On the other hand, the white-haired Elder Jia Shen of the Sorcerer Tribe calmly glanced at Su Mo and then the other area where Wu Qiong was at.
Wu Qiong was far away from Su Mo, but he was lucky. Wu Qiong had already arrived at a small town and begun looking for a suitable weapon for himself.
The elder prayed silently for Wu Qiong to find Su Mo quickly. Once the two met, Su Mo would definitely be killed and Wu Qiong would also not leave Su Mo any room for teleporting out of Kunyun Small Word to save his life.
In front of the group of spectators, Xu Wushen stared at the water screen in front of him and his eyes glowed brightly.
He was looking at Jiang Shenye.
At that moment, Jiang Shenye was in a location where there were 3 other geniuses participating in the Sky Dragon Contest. He had met with another powerful genius and was in a confrontation.
“Palace master, you have to hurry!”
Qing Ya stared at Su Mo in the water screen as her face was etched with worry. Although she was confident in Su Mo’s abilities, he would be in deep trouble if he doesn’t raise his cultivation rank quickly.
