Chapter 71: Western Alliance Region (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)

  He stood there, but what was unbelievable was that the nine people of Shi Hai seemed to have no awareness at all, and were completely unaware of the mysterious person's appearance and existence. Even when they opened their eyes, it was as if they saw nothing but emptiness.

  "One of the Four Great Savage Beasts, the Peng... was long ago exterminated by the Savage God... I didn't expect to find a shred of its divine spirit here... If not for that Black Mountain clan's savage announcement, I would have missed it... Never mind, he informed me of this matter, although it was for his own selfish desires, but since I've seen this beast, I'll satisfy his demands."

  "In the early days of opening up the dust boundary, I didn't take it seriously... However, this Wind Village tribe that exists in a remote corner on the edge of the Western Alliance region, I've heard some rumors about it, seemingly a weak branch that diverged from the Miao Man's main lineage." The mysterious person muttered to himself, walking forward step by step, towards the sealed and closed-off Wind Village Mountain!

  Su Ming returned to the Windy City of Mud and Stone, his residence in the Wu Shan Department. His appearance had long since changed back to its original frailty and clear eyebrows, wearing simple animal hide, he sat down in the Wu Shan Department's house.

  His eyes were filled with excitement and tension, the scene of the first trial was like a dream, as if it wasn't him but someone else. Especially after returning to the square from the mountain, being stared at by thousands of people made his tense heart beat faster, thinking that he had spoken in front of Si Kong and the old woman, with Bai Ling's words, Su Ming felt a sense of pride.

  He took a deep breath, barely calming down his excited mood, closed his eyes and felt the powerful Qi and blood force inside his body. The explosion of 160 meridians made Su Ming's mind and body full of confidence.

  The blood vessels, at the last juncture, increased by four, from one hundred and fifty-six, became one hundred and sixty.

  "I'm now at the sixth layer of Blood Condensation, and I'm only 243 away from reaching the seventh layer... it's not a huge gap." Su Ming muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with an unusual light.

  "The technique of Blood Dust, I can now cultivate... As for the powerful Three Kills, it will have to wait." Su Ming sat there with his eyes closed, recalling the entire process of the first trial in his mind, a smile gradually appearing at the corner of his mouth.

  "The most important thing is that I've grasped the subtlety! When the heart moves, the blood and energy move; when the heart doesn't move, the blood and energy hide... This way, I can make every bit of my blood and energy's power not go to waste, allowing my combat strength to become even stronger while also reaching another level in terms of speed!" Su Ming took a deep breath, his spirit invigorated.

  "Now I, along with the scale blood spear, should be able to barely help Grandpa, protect the tribe, and protect my people! I will fight for the tribe!!" Su Ming clenched his fist, his eyes revealing determination.

  "What a pity, my cultivation is still insufficient, with only 160 bloodlines... If I could increase it again, that would be great..." Su Ming furrowed his brow, pondering for a moment before his eyes flashed.

  "I want to buy a large quantity of herbs and refine more Shān Líng Sǎn... Alas, sigh." Su Ming's eyes dimmed, his pockets were empty, he didn't have much money to make purchases.

  "Nowadays, the tribe is always in crisis and there are many places that need stone coins. I don't want to add more burden to Grandpa...I have to think of a way to get a lot of money..." Su Ming scratched his head, deep in thought, when suddenly his ears perked up, hearing the excited voice of Wu La coming from outside the house.

  Su Ming stood up, pushed open the door, and saw Beiluo, Wula, and Leichen walking in from outside the main gate. Behind them were Ah Gong, Liang Shou, and Shan Hen.

  "Mo Su is really charismatic, you see, as soon as he came back, he immediately absorbed everyone's attention! And Ye Wang even took the initiative to talk to him, I heard from others that this is a very rare thing!" Wu La said excitedly, her eyes shining with excitement, walking over while thinking about Bei Ling and Lei Chen.

  "This Mo Su, although ordinary in appearance, is extremely attractive. I think a strong person should be like this. He rose from the last place to the top, especially after his return, he was very calm and composed, with a strong aura about him. I still remember his conversation with Ye Wang, that one sentence, 'I won't participate in the second round,' shocked so many people!" Wu La excitedly gesticulated with her hands, it's clear that Mo Su has already reached an extremely high position in her heart, making her admire him to no end.

  Su Ming stood outside the house, watching the approaching crowd, looking at Wula's excitement, and couldn't help but touch his nose. He remembered that he was very nervous at the time, and the feeling of being in the spotlight made him very uncomfortable, as if he didn't have the calm demeanor that Wula had described...

  "This Mo Su, previously unknown, is now renowned throughout the entire Wind Chime Tribe. It won't be long before all the surrounding tribes in the eight directions will know of this person!" Bei Ling's expression was rarely seen without its coldness, and his eyes also held excitement and agitation.

  "What a pity he's not from my Wushan tribe... If only my Wushan had such a brilliant talent...” Beiling sighed lightly, without the slightest hint of jealousy in his heart. People are like that, comparisons are often made with those who are similar to oneself, and it's hard to feel jealous when someone is far superior, unless... they're someone who grew up alongside you, and without the mystery to hide behind, there would also be jealousy."

  "Yes, it would be great if he were from our Wushan Department... Mo Su, Mo Su, how nice to hear this name, Mo Su..." Wu La's eyes had a hint of strangeness, her pretty face slightly red, and she muttered to herself, suddenly seeing Su Ming standing there, her eyebrows furrowed, revealing a look of disdain.

  She recalled Leizhen's words from before and suspected that the Mo Su she admired and Su Ming were actually the same person, which made her feel like it was an insult to Mo Su.

  Lei Chen didn't say a word all the way, but when he saw Su Ming now, his eyes immediately locked onto him, and after taking a few careful glances, his gaze dimmed, clearly he also didn't think there was any connection between Su Ming and Mo Su.

  As for Bei Ling, he had already seen Su Ming standing there and directly ignored his existence. The coldness in his eyes was so thick that it couldn't be dissipated at all.

  "Mokesu is extremely mysterious, and even now it's unknown which tribe he belongs to. Perhaps in a few days we'll find out. At that time, we'll represent the Wushan tribe and go to make connections...". Beiling no longer looked at Suming, and when mentioning Mokesu, his eyes also showed a hint of reverence.

  "Ah, I must go and get to know him, Mo Su, Mo Su... I bet his cultivation is extremely high, what a pity he didn't participate in the second and third rounds of the competition..." Ulan's excited and agitated appearance was seen by Su Ming, who couldn't help but rub his nose again.

  "Maybe his cultivation isn't that high, so he didn't participate..." Su Ming couldn't help but mutter to himself.

  "Su Ming, what did you just say?!" Wu La's eyes immediately turned sharp and fierce as he stared at Su Ming, his face filled with anger.

  "You're not qualified to comment on Mo Su, his cultivation must be extremely high. The reason he didn't participate is because he had other things to attend to, and also because he didn't deign to compete!"

  Su Ming forced a smile and quickly shut his mouth, looking at Wula's anger, he really didn't know whether to be happy or helpless.

  "Su Ming, it's fine to say this here, but you must have heard from other places about Mo Su these past few days. I'm telling you, after leaving this place, you absolutely cannot speak of such things outside, or it will bring trouble to the tribe. How could Mo Su be someone we comment on like this?" Beiluo's expression was stern as he stared at Su Ming, his voice low and measured. As a member of the Wushan Tribe's same generation as the first person, speaking in such a manner wasn't out of line for him.

  "Su Ming... I don't think it's right to say that, Mo Su... you didn't see it with your own eyes, he's really too strong, even Ye Wang has to take him seriously! This person is not someone we can discuss, he... is really very strong!" Lei Chen also said in a low voice, after finishing, he hesitated for a moment, looked at Su Ming with a complex expression, as if wanting to say something more, but ultimately didn't continue.

  Su Ming smiled bitterly again.

  "Alright, the three of you still have a trial tomorrow, go and cultivate your breath." Liao Shou furrowed his brow, shouted loudly, and Beiling Sanren hastily stopped talking, each returning to their own quarters.

  Grandfather Mo Sang nodded towards Su Ming, with a dense look of appreciation in his eyes. He didn't say anything and walked towards his residence, with Shan Hen closely following behind him, apparently wanting to discuss some matters.

  After everyone had gone their separate ways, Su Ming returned to the house. He knew that his grandfather would probably come soon, so he sat there quietly waiting.

  Not long after, Ah Gong didn't come, but instead Lei Chen brought hesitation and came to Su Ming's house, sat opposite him, staring blankly at Su Ming.

  "What's wrong?" Su Ming looked at Lei Chen's silly expression and burst out laughing.

  "No... nothing... Su Ming, you... are you..." Lei Chen hesitated, as if biting his teeth hard, and said in a low voice: "Do you like Bai Ling?"

  Su Ming was taken aback.

  "Alas, Su Ming, whether you like her or not, I advise you... give up. I'm puzzled, is that Bai Ling really so beautiful? Not as good as Bai Fang..." Lei Chen muttered to himself, his expression showing incomprehension.

  "Su Ming, you didn't go to the square at the foot of Fengquan Mountain, and you didn't see Mo Su in the end. He actually walked up to Bai Ling's face in front of everyone and said something about circling around, what a load of nonsense! I just can't stand looking at him!" Lei Chen quickly glanced at Su Ming's expression and hastily spoke up.

  "What's most hateful is that Baili actually agreed with a red face, alas, you didn't see that scene, it was clear that he had taken a liking to Mo Su. This Baili is really disappointing!" Lei Chen said again.

  Su Ming's expression was strange, and after hesitating for a moment, he spoke in a low voice.

  "Lei Chen, I'll tell you a secret... actually, I'm Mo Su."

  Lei Chen was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand to touch Su Ming's forehead, but was dodged by Su Ming. Lei Chen hurriedly advised a few more sentences, just about to say something else, when he heard a cough from outside the house, it was Grandpa Ah Gong.

  Lei Chen quickly got up, the door of the house was opened, and Grandpa walked in with a smile.

  Without being told by his grandfather, Lei Chen hastily retreated respectfully and glanced at Su Ming before exiting the room. However, his expression still showed some concern, as Su Ming's previous words had startled him, making him think that Su Ming had been traumatized.
