Chapter 2176: You Don’t Have The Confidence

Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

Dragon Tribe on the Third Mountain.

In a training room, Su Mo was like an old monk deeply absorbed in his cultivation.

​ 

He had abandoned comprehending Ultimacy and had focused everything on his cultivation rank as he tried to break through to the Rank 2 Empty God Realm as quickly as possible.

The Second Rank of the Empty God Realm was known as the Reborn Rank. It was where a martial artists would fully shed his old human form and cultivate the new godly body.

However, it was very hard to reach the Rank 2 Realm. Not only would one require talent and opportunities, great amounts of Spiritual Qi had to be expended.

Yet, it was relatively simple to reach the Rank 2 Realm as one would only need to transform Blood Force, Sacred Elixir Energy and Fighting Soul strength into a special strength that would transform his physical body, bones and muscles.

This was not too hard for Su Mo. After all, breaking through to the Rank 2 Empty God Realm required talent and potential.

Weak Blood Force, Sacred Elixir and Fighting Soul would need a long time period to be strengthened. This was to the extent that there was a chance that one would never break through.

Nonetheless, for a godly talent like Su Mo who was gifted in all aspects. Breaking through to the Rank 2 Empty God Realm was almost ten times or even a hundred times easier than others like the average Rank 1 Empty God.

Su Mo needed a long period of time to break through to the Rank 2 Empty God Realm.

Time flew by quickly without batting an eye for the observer. Su Mo strengthened his cultivation foundation at the Rank 1 Empty God Realm and before long, he began to attempt transforming his body to the sacred body.

A year of time passed by in the blink of an eye.

Knock knock knock!

This day, a soft knocking sound emerged from the door of the cultivation room.

Su Mo slowly opened his eyes. He knew that the Dawn Stone Mine Contest was about to begin.

He ended his cultivation training and slowly opened the door of the room.

A young man from the Dragon Tribe was outside his door. The young man did not have a high cultivation rank as he was only in the Martial Sage Realm.

“Su Mo, Tribe Leader invites you to the Sovereign Dragon Hall.” The young man cupped his fists and bowed respectfully towards Su Mo.

“Alright! Please lead the way.” Su Mo nodded as he followed the young man towards the Sovereign Dragon Hall.

The Sovereign Dragon Hall was located in the frontmost location of the Dragon Tribe. A large majestic hall that stood at an area of over ten thousand square feet dominated the place.

Once Su Mo walked into the hall, he felt his heart clench slightly.

Two large and long golden colored benches lined the halls with Dragon Tribe experts lining them.

There wasn’t a large number of people, but almost two hundred of them were Empty Gods.

Long Teng and Long Daotian were among the crowd.

On the front most seat on the left hand side bench of the hall was the familiar Elder Long Xun that Su Mo knew.

Besides, Long Xun, there were two other Rank 4 Empty Gods with him.

“Wasn’t the Dragon Tribe supposed to be weak? Why do they still have so many Empty Gods?” Su Mo was slightly taken aback. It seemed that the Dragon Tribe had numerous Empty Gods back when it was at its peaks power.

Lifting his head upwards, Su Mo spotted a middle aged man wearing a purple gold dragon robe seating in the main seat.

This man appeared fierce and domineering with two golden colored dragon horns growing from the top of his head.

He was the Dragon Tribe Leader Long Chao, the father of Long Daotian.

As Su Mo walked into the hall, silence befell the hall as everyone turned to look at him.

Su Mo’s fame had spread through numerous mountains of God’s Path. However, many experts of the Dragon Tribe and many others had not seen Su Mo before.

“Is he Su Mo?”

“He does not seem simple!”

“He has a strong aura!”

A few experts glanced at Su Mo and muttered among themselves.

Long Daotian threw Su Mo a side glance and smirked slightly. He thought that it was a complete joke to allow Su Mo to participate in the Dawn Stone Mine Contest.

“Greetings to Tribe Leader!”

Su Mo walked into the middle of the gall and cupped his fists towards the stern looking middle aged man in the dragon robe.

“At ease!”

Long Chao waved his hand dismissively as he took a close look at Su Mo and said, “Su Mo, the Dawn Stone Mine Contest is about to begin. The group of us will head towards Ninth Mountain tomorrow morning!”

“Mm!” Su Mo nodded his head to express his understanding.

“You don’t a high cultivation rank. It would be good if you obtain a rank. However, don’t push yourself if you are unable to!” Long Chao said with a serious face. Although the Holy Sage had allowed Su Mo to enter the contest, he did not think that Su Mo had the qualities to be ranked first.

He knew that Su Mo was a godly talent whose fighting strength was immense. Despite that, there was no hope for him to attain first placing.

If Su Mo managed to enter the top ten ranks, it would already be a good thing.

“Understood!” Su Mo nodded expressionlessly. He did not care whether or not the Tribe Leader had faith in him.

He would consider this contest as a way for him to repay his debts to the Dragon Tribe.

“Mm, sit down!” Long Chao waved his hand and directed Su Mo to a seat in the middle column.

Once Su Mo thanked the Tribe Leader, he returned to his designated seat.

At that point, Long Chao looked at his men and said in a loud voice, “for this contest, Daotian and Su Mo will both participate in it. Does anyone have an opposing opinion?”

The Dragon Tribe typically picked their candidates for the contest before via a voting system before the final candidates are decided in a show done.

Su Mo was specially selected by the Holy Sage to participate in the contest, this was indisputable and could not be challenged.

Although Long Daotian was the strongest among the other Dragon Tribe members, Long Chao still had to ask if everyone was agreeable to the candidates selected.

If anyone was dissatisfied with the chosen candidates, they could challenge Long Daotian.

“Nope!”

The group of Dragon Tribe experts shook their heads in response to Long Chao’s question.

Long Daotian was the top godly talent of the Dragon Tribe, the ranked five of the Ten Great Saints in God’s Path. Who would dare to challenge him?

With that, Long Daotian smirked lightly as he stood up and cupped his fists towards the crowd, “father and seniors, rest assure. I will try my best this time to place first. Even if I don’t, I will be able to be ranked in the top three.”

Throwing a side glance to Su Mo, a cold glare passed through Long Daotian’s eyes.

“Haha. Good, it is great that you have such confidence!” Long Chao’s intelligent eyes breamed with joy as he smiled.

“Su Mo, do you have the confidence to be ranked?” Long Daotian smirked.

Once everyone heard Long Daotian’s words, their eyes fell upon Su Mo, anticipating his reply.

Yet, Su Mo remained calm as he stared at Long Daotian. Without answering his question, Su Mo said, “you, don’t have the confidence?”

“I don’t have the confidence?”

Long Daotian was shocked for a while before he burst into laughter, “ha ha ha, what a joke. You actually said that I didn’t have the confidence.”

“Of course, if you had the confidence, you would have directly said you would be first. You would have said that even if you weren’t able to place first, you would be in the top three.” Su Mo lightly said.

Long Daotian’s words evidently showed that he didn’t have enough confidence in himself.

Worrying before a battle even begun, Long Daotian was just that. There was no way he could place first.

All of a sudden, many Dragon Tribe’s men, including Tribe Leader Long Chao started to frown.

Su Mo’s words did make sense. Long Daotian appeared to be fully confident at first sight, but when one analysed his words further, he seemed full of worry.

“I cant be bothered to argue with you!”

Long Daotian scoffed as he threw his robe aside and sat down, “Su Mo, I would also like to see just how confident you are. If you cant even make it to the top ten, not only will you embarrass yourself, you will also embarrass Holy Sage!”

“You don’t have to worry!” Su Mo shook his head. He had been chosen by Holy Sage to enter the contest. If he lost miserably, he would embarrass the Holy Sage.

However, would he lose?

Su Mo had the confidence that even if he encountered Ancient Demon Tuo Si or Ancient God Tu Ying, he would not lose.

“Alright, you two don’t have to argue with each other anymore!”

Long Chao waved his hand in a cold face and instructed, “all words are nothing. The facts will show the truth in the future. Everyone is dismissed! Tomorrow morning, we will gather to head to Ninth Moutnain!”

“Understood!” The crowd answered before they took their leave and left the great hall.

Su Mo also rose and walked out of the hall.

“Su Mo, by then, you will see the difference between us.”

Long Daotian grazed Su Mo’s shoulder as he walked out of the hall.

Looking at Long Daotian’s back, Su Mo shook his head helplessly. He couldn’t be bothered with Long Daotian.
