Chapter 654: 737 Cultivation Hall
Chen Mo felt the energy and blood in his entire body being mobilized, his breath causing a surge within him, with each breath driving the blood, pressing upon his heart, the strength of his whole body pulled by his breathing.
Suddenly, Chen Mo seemed to enter a state of selflessness, his body standing atop the giant rock, his fists swinging with vigor, each punch thrown carrying a force as if it could break walls and cleave mountains.
What he didn’t notice was that the stars in the sky seemed to move in sync with his motions.
Unaware how much time had passed.
The silver moon was slightly falling.
Suddenly, Chen Mo felt his muscles and bones make cracking sounds, a majestic force gathering towards his right arm, compelling him to throw a punch, and instantly, the air in front of him shattered as if exploding.
Boom!
A large tree standing several feet away fell in response.
"Finally succeeded in comprehending it." Chen Mo let out a long sigh. If Su Huang knew he had comprehended the Galaxy Constellations Fist in just a mere two or three hours, his jaw would probably drop in shock.
Despite practicing the fist technique for so long, Chen Mo surprisingly didn’t feel the slightest bit of fatigue, not even any muscle soreness; instead, he felt a crispness throughout his body.
"This Power of the Stars not only assisted me in comprehending the Galaxy Constellations Fist but also helped refine my internal meridians and bones, it’s truly incredible."
Chen Mo clenched his fists; the Galaxy Constellations Fist didn’t have multiple moves, just one set of consecutive punches, and he had just begun to get the hang of it.
Chen Mo struck while the iron was hot and continued to cultivate and stabilize his progress.
What he didn’t notice was that on the large tree he had knocked over, there was a very deep fist imprint, with numerous visible cracks around it.
...
...
The next day, the bell tolled, its melodious sound echoing throughout the Outer Sect.
Chen Mo had not slept all night, practicing his fist technique; as dawn arrived, he returned to his room for a quick wash. Hearing the bell, he hurriedly tidied up his things and headed towards the "Cultivation Hall".
The Cultivation Hall is the place for cultivation and meditation in the Outer Sect, also where Elders teach disciples cultivation. Chen Mo planned to go early to grab a seat at the front.
On the way, he encountered Qianyi, Ruoqing, Xiao Jiu, Nangong Xue, and Nangong Yue.
"Qianyi, how is your injury?" Chen Mo inquired with concern about Zhao Qianyi’s condition.
"Having taken the Sect’s Elixir and resting for a night, I feel half-recovered," Zhao Qianyi replied.
"How do you all feel?" Nangong Yue seemed to want to join the conversation and said after a moment of hesitation.
Chen Mo was taken aback and turned his head, "Which aspect are you referring to?"
"I mean the feeling about the Outer Sect. Last night was our first night; shouldn’t we feel a bit excited?" Nangong Yue said.
"Indeed, a bit excited..." While saying this, Chen Mo instinctively glanced at Jiang Ruoqing, whose face blushed slightly, her gaze evasive.
"It’s pretty good, quite novel," Zhao Qianyi responded briefly.
Walking and talking, before long, they arrived in front of the "Cultivation Hall".
"So big!"
Looking at the hall, only these two words appeared in the minds of Chen Mo and the others.
Chen Mo felt that the "Cultivation Hall" covered an area several times the size of the Imperial Palace.
Inside, many Outer Sect disciples moved back and forth, whispering among themselves; groups of two or three, or five or six sitting together, discussing cultivation matters or the latest gossip in the Sect.
"Hey, did you hear? Recently, there’s an Outer Sect disciple who’s really fierce; during the Profound Spirit Mirror trial, he killed Long Xiaoyao’s younger brother."
"I heard, I heard that person is called Chen Mo. Feng Hao even released a statement claiming he would destroy him at the Outer Sect Disciple Meeting. Feng Hao is about to be promoted to Inner Sect Disciple; I guess he wants to use this to please Long Xiaoyao."
"That’s not the main point, okay? The key is, I heard he’s the most useless Blue Body, yet he still passed the Outer Sect’s assessment."
"No way, is the Outer Sect’s assessment that easy this time? I even had my brother participate."
"Let’s place bets and see how long this Chen Mo can survive."
"I bet one month, wager ten points, it’s highly likely he’ll die in this Outer Sect Disciple Meeting. After all, every meeting, even if no fatal blows are allowed, there are always a few who hit too hard and kill someone..."
"Killing someone at most costs thirty years of Cultivation Resources, but if it can earn favor with Long Xiaoyao, even a hundred years would be worth it."
"..."
These words reached the ears of the girls, and they all looked towards Chen Mo.
Zhao Qianyi pursed her lips, "It’s all my fault for causing you such a huge trouble."
Chen Mo grasped her delicate hand, "Don’t say silly things again. I said, no one can harm you. If anyone does, I’ll make sure they pay the proper price."
After saying this, Chen Mo also looked at Jiang Ruoqing and Xiao Jiu, "The same goes for you."
"I believe in master." Xiao Jiu immediately hugged Chen Mo’s arm, softly shaking it.
Chen Mo could clearly feel the softness in front of Xiao Jiu’s body.
Nangong Xue furrowed her brows slightly.
Nangong Yue, hearing these words, felt inexplicably annoyed, even wondering if he would do the same for her.
"Yo, you don’t hide well and dare to come out."
Just as Chen Mo was about to find a place to wait for the Elder to appear, a sharp voice came from a distance.
Chen Mo looked towards it and immediately frowned, seeing Song Jun walking towards him surrounded by seven or eight disciples.
It seems yesterday’s Scripture Pavilion points borrowing act earned Song Jun quite a few lackeys.
"What are you saying, Young Master Jun? The Outer Sect Disciple Meeting is imminent, several senior brothers have already stated they will cripple him, he doesn’t have many days left; if he doesn’t come out now, he won’t have another chance."
"Hahaha."
Song Jun’s lackeys joined in the taunting and jeering.
Song Jun’s entrance, already a noticeable event with his entourage, now attracted some exclamations as his lackeys’ words drew many gazes over.
One of Song Jun’s lackeys, apparently sensing the situation wasn’t dramatic enough, said, "Fellow senior brothers and sisters, come take a look, he is the Chen Mo who killed Long Xiaoyao’s brother during the Outer Sect Disciple Assessment."
Song Jun did not speak but his smile broadened.
Clearly, what the lackey said was likely instructed by Song Jun.
"What? He’s that Chen Mo?!"
Amidst the gazes sweeping over, the onlookers’ eyes looked at Chen Mo with increasing curiosity.
"Is Long Xiaoyao’s Magical Artifact in his hands?"
Quickly, more and more people gathered around, seemingly wanting to see what the man who killed Long Xiaoyao’s brother looked like.
Seeing his goal achieved, Song Jun’s lips slowly curled up.
