Chapter 1460: Hiding Too Much
Everyone’s eyes sparkled as they stared unblinkingly at the fighting ground. Mo Lang’s body lay on the cold, hard floor, still quivering slightly.
The crowd was stunned speechless!
It was over?
It was over just like that?
Mo Lang had lost? An instant defeat?
The crowd was thoroughly stunned and no one seemed to be able to react. Everything had happened so quickly!
The fighting hadn’t even begun and Mo Lang, who everyone thought was going to win, just fell down like that.
Dead silence fell over the fighting ground. So much so that a pin drop could be heard. Everyone held their breaths.
After a full ten breaths, chaos swept through the fighting ground as uproar, shock and disbelief overtook the crowd.
“My god, Mo Lang lost?”
“What happened?”
“How weird! Was that a Fighting Soul’s power?”
“How could that be? A Rank 8 Martial Emperor defeating Mo Lang in an instant? That is way too terrifying!”
The fighting ground was a scene of upheaval. As shouts rang through the sky, the entire area seemed to be as chaotic as a hot frying pan.
Everyone was shocked. This was something that no one had imagined. The outcome of the fight was out of anyone’s expectations.
Originally, they had all guessed that Su Mo would be hiding some extraordinary strength as Su Mo was so confident. Despite this, no one had imagined that Su Mo’s extraordinary strength would be to such a terrifying extent.
What kind of a scene was it for a Rank 8 Martial Emperor to instantly defeat Mo Lang?
Even a godly talent wouldn’t be able to achieve that, right?
Furthermore, Su Mo’s strength was so mysterious. Was that purple haze a Fighting Soul? What kind of Fighting Soul was it?
At that moment, the group who was most surprised was the True Path Sect disciples and elders.
Feng Guang’s chubby face carried a look of wonder, as though he had seen a ghost. He had never imagined that Su Mo would have such terrifying powers.
Lu Gang’s face was pale and he couldn’t comprehend the mixture of feelings within him. He couldn’t help recalling the incident at the Sect Hall where Su Mo had threatened to cut off his tongue.

At that point, he had thought that Su Mo was very funny. However, he did not think so now.
The most entertaining face actually belonged to Elder Zhen Gu. First, he was stunned, then he was shocked, and finally he erupted into complete glee.
Su Mo was actually so strong?
He had actually been wrong?
Sage-to-be Zhen Gu couldn’t help thinking of Saint Zhen Xian. Had the saint predicted what would happen at the fight meet and thus invited Su Mo to attend it?
Su Mo was so strong that he could instantly defeat a genius like Mo Lang, Su Mo was probably no weaker than Yang Tiancheng, Yan Lantian and the other geniuses!
With Su Mo’s help, the True Path Sect could possibly turn the tables and be placed within the top ten ranks. That wouldn’t be too difficult.
If that was the case, the sect wouldn’t be shamed again at this fight meet!
Some people were gleeful while some were worried. The Roaring Sky Wolf Tribe members all had hardened faces. Mo Lang’s crushing defeat had completely shamed them.
After all, Mo Lang had lost to a Rank 8 Martial Emperor.
“Interesting!” You Lang’s wide mouth twisted to reveal an intriguing smile.
At that moment, not only was You Lang interested, Yan Lantian, Yang Tiangcheng, Ling Feng, Zhao JianHao, Lei Yunhao and the other godly geniuses of the other superpowers were curious.
This was because they were not sure how Mo Lang had lost. What kind of attack was the purple haze that had emerged from Su Mo? The mysterious attack made them very curious.
On the northern stands, Elder Yin Ze nodded his head slightly as a smile formed on his lips. As he had expected, this young man wasn’t simple.
To defeat Mo Lang instantly, despite being only a Rank 8 Martial Emperor, the man could be a top genius among all the top geniuses.
“Sister Ling Xuan, this man is really capable!” Yun Youyou smiled softly as she marvelled.
“This… this man is hiding way too much!” The green clothed girl, Ling Xuan, wore an awkward expression. She had thought that Su Mo was deliberately trying to attract Yun Youyou’s attention and she didn’t think that Su Mo would actually be a godly talent.

“Indeed. His aura seems normal and it is very hard to see that he is so strong!” Yun Youyou nodded her head.
In actual fact, this was because Su Mo did not circulate the Dark Force in his body. Hence, he did not give off a strong aura and it was hard to discern his true strength from his appearance.
Furthermore, Su Mo had activated the Dream Realm Fighting Soul that did not require the use of Dark Force. Hence, the onlookers could not really discern his true strength.
In the fighting ring, Su Mo threw a side-glance at Mo Lang and silently shook his head. Mo Lang was way too weak. He couldn’t even withstand one blow.
In the Dream Realm, Su Mo had only tortured Mo Lang for around half an hour but Mo Lang had crumbled so quickly.
However, perhaps due to his spiritual soul being injured or his willpower having been weakened, he felt rather tired and dejected after activating the Dream Realm Fighting Soul.
It seemed like he couldn’t use the Dream Realm Fighting Soul for the subsequent fights.
“Carry him back!”
Su Mo looked towards the group of Roaring Sky Wolf Tribe members and lightly ordered before flying back to the stands.
Mo Lang had already been tortured by Su Mo to the point that his willpower had completely crumbled. He wouldn’t have the strength to lift himself back and required the help of others.
“Su Mo wins!”
At that moment, the elder who wore a brown robe announced. He was also stunned by the outcome of the battle and had only just regained his composure.
Shoosh!
Su Mo landed beside Feng Guang on the stands. All the True Path Sect members’ eyes were focused on him as they had yet to recover from the shock.
“Su Mo, you really hid your strength well. Why didn’t you say so if you were so strong?” Feng Guang face was full of bewilderment but he was actually raging in his heart.
Su Mo actually had secretly hidden strong powers from him. It infuriated him.
“Would you all have believed me if I had said so earlier?” Su Mo nonchalantly laughed.
“Hmm~~!” Feng Guang shut his mouth. That was true. Even if Su Mo had said so earlier, he wouldn’t have believed Su Mo’s words.
“Su Mo, it seems that Saint Zhen Xian considered thoroughly before letting you come!” Sage-to-be Zhen Gu’s face was warm as he revealed a kind smile.
Su Mo had convincingly defeated Mo Lang in an instant and thoroughly regained honour for the True Path Sect. Sage-to-be Zhen Gu was proud and happy with the turn of events.
At that moment, Sage-to-be Zhen Gu couldn’t help but anticipate what Su Mo’s mysterious abilities would bring for them. How strong exactly was he? Would he be able to win against Yan Lantian, Yang Tiancheng and the other godly talents?
“Mm!” Su Mo nodded his head and did not explain anything. He intended to come by himself and it wasn’t an arrangement by Saint Zhen Xian.
“Very well. I hope you will be able to enter the top ten ranks and obtain good results!” Sage-to-be Zhen Gu appeared to have forgotten all the mishaps previously as he wore a warm smile on his face.
“Mm, I will!” Su Mo nodded his head assuredly. He wanted to say that his goal was to be first ranked but was afraid Elder Zhen Gu would not believe him again and hence, he remained silent.
It was best for him to slowly advance through the fight meet. His true abilites would be displayed in the fights.
At that moment, Mo Lang had already been carried back to the stands by the Roaring Sky Wolf Tribe members. As an elder of the tribe checked on Mo Lang’s health, his face took a drastic turn.
Mo Lang’s spiritual soul had suffered a heavy blow. He probably wouldn’t be able to recover from such an injury within 6 months.
