Chapter 396: Robbing Them One by One
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
The figure that had appeared was, of course, Su Mo!
“Give me your storage ring!”
Su Mo looked at the yellow-robed young man as he made his demand in an indifferent tone.
Su Mo wouldn’t pass up such a good chance to make money. There had to be plenty of wealth in Firmament Palace, but he was too embarrassed to ask for it from the white-haired elder, even if he had become the Holy Son of Firmament Palace. It was better to make money… well, through robbery.
“What?”
The yellow-robed young man was stunned and the expression on his face suddenly changed. Su Mo seemed to have become insane with robbing. He had already robbed them on Sky-climbing Ladder and now, he was also robbing them here.
“Do I need to repeat myself? You have three breaths!” Su Mo said coldly.
“Don’t even think about it!”
With determination in his eyes, the young man rushed away at once.
He did not intend to hand over his storage ring. He had failed the test, so he would be sent out in just a few seconds.
He did not stand a chance against Su Mo, but he thought he could survive for the time it took for a couple breaths.
“It’s pointless!”
Shaking his head, Su Mo exerted his Devouring Martial Soul at once and the young man abruptly stopped.
Su Mo then launched a huge fist of radiance which hit the young man’s back.
“Ah!”
With a scream, the young man spat out a large amount of blood and was thrown out at a greater speed onto the ground 1,000 meters away.
Swoosh!
Su Mo was following close at his heels and appeared in front of the young man in an instant.
“You… You’re going too far!” the yellow-robed young man roared with a pale face.

“If you had handed it over just now, you wouldn’t have to suffer physical pain!”
Su Mo shook his head and said coldly,”You have a breath to hand it over. Otherwise, you’ll die!”
“You…”
The young man was furious, his face livid. Dying in here did not mean he would die in the real world, but he was not willing to experience how it felt like to die.
Moreover, his storage ring would be left behind if he died.
Su Mo stared at him coldly and slowly raised his fist. Now that the young man still refused to hand over his storage ring, he had to kill him!
“Alright!”
The young man looked pale and was ready to remove his storage ring.
Just then, his body lit up in a white light and became illusory.
It was a sign that he was about to be sent out.
“HaHa! Su Mo, forget my storage ring. You have no chance!”
He laughed hysterically and moved backward with his back against the ground.
“You’re courting death!” Su Mo sneered.
Since this guy was asking for it, he would not show mercy.
“Devour!” Su Mo yelled and released his Devouring Martial Soul again.
As the powerful devouring force swept across the surroundings, a sharp sword of radiance flew towards the young man.
Puff!
Gripped by the devouring power, blood gushed out of the wounded young man’s mouth as he stopped moving. He was unable to put up any resistance and was instantly killed by the sword radiance.
The poor young man died at the moment just before he was about to leave Firmament Divine Realm.
Su Mo did not devour his blood, giving him an opportunity to revive. He took the corpse and rushed into the sky.
The white-robed elder had given Su Mo a Jade Charm which gave him the ability to fly in Firmament Palace.
In addition to that, the puppets in this testing field were now completely under his control.

Outside the golden door, Gold One was aware of everything that happened in the testing field.
Gold One’s mechanical face was slightly dazed, but Su Mo was the Holy Son now, so he would not interfere.
“Next!” Gold One said loudly, looking around.
“He failed?”
“Huang Fei is ranked second in the List of Top 100 Talents of Heavenly Star Domain and has powerful combat strength, but he actually failed!”
“It must be extremely difficult to pass the third test!”
Realizing that the yellow-robed young man had not returned when Gold One called for the next examinee, the crowd was surprised. Their faces turned grim.
Swoosh!
A man jumped out and leapt into the golden door to be tested.
There was no doubt that he would fail just like the yellow-robed young man.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Geniuses entered the golden door one by one, but no one could pass the test.
This was because Su Mo did not allow them to pass. Su Mo had complete control over the level of the puppets that fought against them.
No matter how strong the examinees were, no one could win three matches in a row!
All of the geniuses were robbed and sent out of Firmament Divine Realm. Some of them voluntarily handed over their storage rings while others were killed.
At the hall.
The white-haired elder and Stone One were shocked by Su Mo’s act of robbery.
“He… Palace Master, the Holy Son is..!” Stone One stuttered in shock.
Earth Palace Master’s face kept twitching with a multitude of expressions.
Su Mo had requested to take charge of the test and he had agreed without hesitation.
But he never thought that Su Mo was going to rob them! He was speechless!
“Alas…”
Earth Palace Master sighed and shook his head, saying, “It’s not easy to find a successor. He has a good character, as long as he’s not gone too far, let him be!”
“Yes!” Stone One nodded.
“Alright! I’m going to fall into a deep sleep soon. All the things here should remain the same and you should try your best to meet the Holy Son’s requirements!”
Earth Palace Master waved and vanished.
“Yes, Palace Master!”
…
Outside the golden door, many looked sullen.
Over half of them had taken the test, but no one had emerged victorious!
All of them had failed!
Each of them had extraordinary combat strength and were easily capable of fighting opponents two levels above them in the real world. The remaining people were shocked that all of them failed the test!
“What’s the matter? Is it really so difficult to pass the third test?”
“According to the previous rules, there will be three battles in the third test. The first will be against a Teal Stone Puppet of the same level, then a level higher, while the last will be two levels higher. Although the Teal Stone Puppets are very strong, it doesn’t make sense that no one succeeded.”
“Has the difficulty been increased?”
There was fervent discussion in the crowd and everyone looked grim. If the difficulty had been increased, their chances of passing the test would be extremely slim.
Top geniuses such as Wenren Tianyi, Xue Mo, Lei Xiao, and Chu Zhantian were looking extremely grim even though they had reached Lv 9 True Spirit Realm.
In particular, Wenren Tianyi had reached a half step to the Enligtenment Realm. Their opponents would be puppets in the Enlightenment Realm, so they couldn’t help but be worried despite their strength.
“Next!”
Gold One summoned the next examinee.
“I don’t believe that it’s that difficult!” Chu Zhantian said coldly and leapt into the golden door.
Seeing Chu Zhantian entering the testing field, the crowd wondered if he turn the tide and pass the test with his phenomenal combat strength!

Harem (not sorry!) Magic System Short Chapters Dancing Bears (at least so far) Seriously, this is a second-world low fantasy/science-fantasy featuring a strong, but flawed male protagonist, a cheeky teenage boy that’s driving him crazy, a wee bit o’ Scots flavor, and a whole lot of culture clashing. I’m preparing to relaunch this story on Kindle once the second and third books are ready and I’d love some feedback as I move through those revisions. I'm serious about the feedback. All comments are welcome. I'll name a characters after you. And kill them, if you want. :) Oh, did I mention soulless assassins and cannibals? Yeah, Aralt’s day is not getting any better. cover image by brosedesignz
