Free Web NovelChapter 1876: Chapter 1491: Purchase (Part 4)
Actually, Su Mo isn’t aware of one thing: the reason he’s so strong is related to his long-term combat in Negative Energy Pollution State. After all, Negative Energy Pollution is still pollution, albeit the strongest pollution, and using it frequently enhances resistance to it.
But Herbert and the others only activate it when facing a life-and-death crisis or as a last resort, never under normal circumstances.
Unlike Su Mo, who activates Negative Energy Pollution like it’s a daily meal.
"I think I underestimated you; now, instead of surprises, it’s shocks. The disparity between people is just too vast."
Xia Weiya remarked with a deep sense of emotion.
"Su Mo, how did you do it? Is there some special technique?"
Loren and others couldn’t help but ask, knowing they barely lasted thirteen minutes.
"There isn’t any particular technique, just keeping a flat mindset and persisting normally."
Su Mo didn’t know what else to say.
At this moment, Herbert and the others also approached him, unusually addressing Su Mo:
"Impressive! Let’s exchange ideas more often in the future."
"Ha, good, good."
Su Mo replied with a smile, thinking of the saying: one doesn’t hit a smiling face; it’s always good to save face.
Following Herbert, Molock’s expression grew increasingly gloomy. With Su Mo showing such skill, henceforth everyone would heed him respectfully.
Moreover, Xia Weiya and Herbert clearly intended to pull Su Mo into their circle.
Just when Su Mo was being surrounded like a star, Lord Icaroya descended.
Seeing him, Herbert and the others immediately quieted down, turned to greet him:
"Lord Icaroya."
Lord Icaroya scanned the crowd with a glance and said plainly: "Instead of envying others, why not use your time to train hard?"
"Yes, we will follow your teachings."
The crowd tensed up, promptly replying.
After speaking, Lord Icaroya turned coldly and left.
Rather than relaxing due to Lord Icaroya’s departure, the crowd’s expressions became heavier, and the pressure increased.
Clearly, Lord Icaroya was extremely displeased with the training results of the others.
At this point, Kux and Ai Lu headed toward the training equipment, planning to intensify their training.
The rest of the Royal Order members began lining up as well.
Honestly, Su Mo’s current performance was already making them feel a severe crisis. If they didn’t improve, they’d really be replaced.
Building relationships is one thing, but personal strength is paramount.
Seeing the atmosphere suddenly become so oppressive, Su Mo lowered his voice and chatted with Xia Weiya.
"What’s with everyone?"
"It’s all because of you, you freak. Now everyone’s pressure level is skyrocketing. But I’m a bit puzzled; how did you perform so poorly the first time, yet your subsequent results are so terrifying?"
Xia Weiya felt something was amiss.
"Haha, I’ve already said, honestly, I’m not sure. Maybe I was just off that day, feeling a bit weak? I suddenly remembered, I have something urgent, need to slip away."
After saying that, Su Mo didn’t wait for Xia Weiya to respond, directly slipping away.
Watching Su Mo’s departing back, Xia Weiya felt frustrated, grinding her teeth.
"That brat!"
...
As Su Mo stepped out of the training field, he felt incredibly relaxed.
He couldn’t help but say to the creator·Swallower:
"The feeling of breakthrough is really great."
"Didn’t expect that Mad Woman’s guidance to be so effective; it seems her strength has reached a ridiculous level."
The creator·Swallower replied solemnly.
"Cough, cough, Icaroya isn’t that bad, actually."
Su Mo chuckled, not expecting Xiao Shi to listen, given its deep grudges against Icaroya.
"Hmph!"
The creator·Swallower didn’t bother to say more.
Then, Su Mo suddenly stopped and addressed Xiao Shi.
"Let’s go find the old man."
"Going to flaunt your breakthrough to him?"
"Of course not, am I that bored?"
Su Mo rolled his eyes.
"So you’re planning to tell the old man about that thing? Have you thought it through?"
The creator·Swallower’s tone grew increasingly serious.
"I’ve got it under control."
Su Mo seemed to have decided, then proceeded towards the grocery store; the old man should still be there at this hour.
...
By early evening.
Su Mo arrived at the remote grocery store’s door, and before he entered, he heard a familiar coughing sound.
"Old man."
Su Mo walked in jovially, greeting the old man.
The old man slowly raised his head, his murky eyes glanced at Su Mo, replying coldly.
"What is it?"
Su Mo looked around, then put away his smile, speaking softly.
"There’s something I need to tell you."
Seeing Su Mo’s serious expression, the old man raised his aged hand with a wave, and the grocery store’s door automatically closed.
"Go ahead."
"Before I say, don’t get too worked up."
Su Mo approached the old man, giving a precautionary notice.
"Is that possible?"
The old man coughed a few times in response.
"I think I’ve seen the Divine Creation Tablet you’re looking for..."
Su Mo hadn’t finished.
The old man’s originally debilitated body exploded with an overwhelming aura, his cloudy gaze sharply focused, and he instantly grabbed Su Mo’s wrist, asking excitably.
"Where?"
"See, told you so. Don’t get excited, the Tablet is with Icaroya."
Su Mo hadn’t expected the normally calm old man to react so strongly.
Upon hearing it’s in Icaroya’s hands, the old man’s eyes turned bloodshot, veins bulged on his forehead, resembling a fierce beast about to lose its mind, as he glared viciously at Su Mo, asking.
