Chapter 157: Sneaking into Su Mo’s Room

Chapter 157: Sneaking into Su Mo's Room

"A domain!"

Ning Fengzhi and the others were astonished. They hadn't expected Su Mo to have such a gain.

They were unaware that completing the trial in Slaughter City could grant the God of Slaughter's Domain as a reward.

After all, in the history of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, no one had ever obtained the God of Slaughter's Domain before.

Buzz—

Su Mo didn't waste words and directly activated the God of Slaughter's Domain, allowing Ning Fengzhi and the others to personally experience its power.

"This is the God of Slaughter's Domain that I obtained…"

After demonstrating it, Su Mo finally explained the nature of the domain.

"Good, good! It truly lives up to its name—God of Slaughter's Domain! What an incredible ability! It's no weaker than Old Sword's Seven Kill Domain!"

Bone Douluo was the first to express his admiration, with a hint of envy in his voice.

A domain—this was a skill that even he had never acquired.

"It is indeed impressive. Su Mo, you haven't absorbed your sixth soul ring yet, have you?"

Sword Douluo also nodded approvingly before asking about Su Mo's soul ring.

"That's right, Grandpa Jian."

Su Mo nodded.

Naturally, he wanted to hunt his sixth soul ring under the guidance of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

Just like before, this would be the safest approach.

"Very well. Tomorrow, Old Bone and I will accompany you to hunt for your soul ring!"

Sword Douluo nodded, making the decision without waiting for Su Mo to ask.

"Su Mo, tell us about your experiences in Slaughter City. We're quite curious about what kind of place it is."

At that moment, Ning Fengzhi spoke up.

He was genuinely interested in Slaughter City.

"Of course, Uncle Ning."

Su Mo smiled and began sharing his experiences in Slaughter City over the past few years.

Of course, he didn't go into too much detail—just a general introduction to what Slaughter City was like and its rules.

Even so, Ning Fengzhi and the others were deeply shocked.

Especially Ning Rongrong, who felt a chill run down her spine. She was relieved that Su Mo had made it back safely.

She had never imagined Slaughter City to be such a terrifying and blood-soaked place.

While recounting his story, Su Mo also mentioned Hu Liena. Since they were the only two non-corrupted individuals in Slaughter City, they naturally interacted. In the end, they even joined forces to conquer Hell Road.

The reason Su Mo mentioned Hu Liena now was to prepare the way for explaining things to Ning Rongrong in the future.

"So that girl from the Spirit Hall also went to Slaughter City?"

Ning Fengzhi and the others didn't think too much about it. They were simply surprised that Hu Liena had dared to enter such a dangerous place and had even achieved a hundred consecutive victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena.

That was indeed an impressive feat.

"She's amazing!"

Ning Rongrong was equally impressed. As a fellow woman, she admired Hu Liena's bravery.

She had a bit of a little demoness reputation herself, but if she were placed in that kind of environment, she doubted she would have the courage to endure it—even as a battle soul master.

After meeting with Ning Fengzhi and the others, Su Mo returned to his room to rest.

Not long after, Ning Rongrong sneaked into his room.

She had missed Su Mo too much. How could she bear to sleep separately from him? So she climbed right into his bed.

Naturally, what followed needed no explanation.

Su Mo happily examined all the changes in Ning Rongrong over the past few years, carefully experiencing the differences.

However, in the end, he didn't completely take her. He still felt it would be best to wait until she came of age.

…

"Rongrong, where did you go this morning? I went to find you, but you weren't there!"

The next morning, Ye Lingling hurried over to Ning Rongrong as soon as she saw her.

"I… I went to find Su Mo! He came back last night!"

Ning Rongrong had originally intended to invite Ye Lingling to go to Star Dou Forest together, just like last time. Hearing Ye Lingling's question, she blushed slightly before quickly explaining.

She hadn't expected Ye Lingling to come looking for her so early in the morning.

"What? Su Mo is back?"

Ye Lingling didn't notice Ning Rongrong's unusual expression. Instead, she exclaimed in shock.

She was quite concerned about Su Mo.

Among her peers, Su Mo was the one she admired the most. If she hadn't known that Ning Rongrong had feelings for Su Mo, she might have been drawn to him herself.

However, she knew Su Mo and Ning Rongrong were a couple, so she had never developed any thoughts in that direction.

Still, her admiration for Su Mo remained. He was the most gifted genius she had ever seen.

Furthermore, she and Ning Rongrong were now close friends, and Su Mo was also her friend. After hearing about his journey to the dangerous Slaughter City, she naturally worried for him.

"Yes, Su Mo is back!"

Ning Rongrong smiled.

"That's wonderful! Rongrong, now that Su Mo has returned, you don't have to keep worrying about him!"

Ye Lingling beamed.

"Yes, yes! Su Mo has already reached rank 60 this time, but he hasn't absorbed his soul ring yet. That's why I came to find you—so we can all go to Star Dou Forest together and help Su Mo hunt for his soul ring!"

Ning Rongrong said cheerfully, explaining why she had come looking for Ye Lingling.

"What? Su Mo really reached Soul Emperor?"

Ye Lingling was once again stunned.

She had already expected Su Mo's cultivation speed to be terrifying, and she had even assumed that he would break through to Soul Emperor before the next Soul Master Tournament.

But she hadn't imagined that he would reach it so soon.

There was still more than a year before the next Soul Master Tournament!

"Yes, Su Mo's progress is getting faster and faster. I'm only at rank 54 now!"

Ning Rongrong laughed.

"…"

Ye Lingling rolled her eyes at Ning Rongrong.

Are you even human?

What do you mean only rank 54?

That's a statement I should be making!

I haven't even reached Soul King yet!

"Let's go! I want to see what's changed about Su Mo after all these years!"

Not wanting to argue with Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling grabbed her hand and walked forward.

When the two arrived at the main hall, they saw that Su Mo and the others were already waiting for them.

"Greetings, Uncle Ning, Grandpa Jian, Grandpa Gu!"

After entering, Ye Lingling first greeted Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo respectfully.

Only then did she turn to Su Mo with a smile.

"Su Mo, congratulations on returning safely from Slaughter City. If you had stayed any longer, Rongrong might have turned into a statue waiting for her husband!"

After spending a few years in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ye Lingling had become the second most valued member after Ning Rongrong, receiving a great deal of attention and care.

Over time, her personality had grown much more outgoing.

Originally, Ye Lingling had been somewhat introverted and didn't enjoy talking much.

As she spoke, she secretly observed Su Mo.

It had been years since they last met, and she found that he had become even more mature, steady, and undeniably handsome.

"Thank you, and congratulations on becoming even more beautiful!"

Su Mo responded with a smile.

Not knowing what else to compliment Ye Lingling on, he simply praised her appearance.

He couldn't very well congratulate her on breaking through to Soul King—that would sound like mockery.

"Uncle Ning, should we depart now?"

Ye Lingling smiled modestly before turning to Ning Fengzhi for confirmation.

"Hmm, since you and Rongrong are here, let's set off now. We'll head to Star Dou Forest again this time."

Ning Fengzhi said with a smile before preparing the arrangements for carriages and other travel needs.

"Uncle Ning, there's no need for all that trouble. I have a way to take us directly to Star Dou Forest quickly!"

Seeing Ning Fengzhi's preparations, Su Mo immediately stopped him.

"Oh? What method?"

Hearing Su Mo's words, Ning Fengzhi became curious.

Sword Douluo, Ning Rongrong, and the others also turned to look at Su Mo with interest.

"It's a very fast method. You'll see in just a moment."

Su Mo said with a smile, not explaining immediately.

After speaking, he stepped forward and moved to the center of the hall. Soul power surged from his body.

Buzz—

Then, he pressed both hands to the ground, and his soul power formed a glowing formation on the floor.

"Alright, everyone, step into the formation!"

Su Mo stood up, clapped his hands, and smiled at Ning Fengzhi and the others.

"This is…"

Seeing Su Mo's actions and hearing his words, Ning Fengzhi and the others quickly guessed what was happening. Their eyes widened in disbelief.

"Uncle Ning, just step in and you'll see!"

Su Mo said with a smile.

"Alright, let's see if you really have such a remarkable ability!"

Bone Douluo was the first to step forward and enter the formation.

Ning Fengzhi and the others suppressed their shock and followed him in.

"Everyone, don't resist the energy when it activates, or it could be dangerous!"

Su Mo warned.

Ning Fengzhi and the others nodded.

They trusted Su Mo completely and had no concerns about his abilities.

Right now, they were more eager to see if he could actually transport them directly to another location.

"Then, I'll begin!"

Su Mo smiled before stepping into the formation as well.

He crouched down again and pressed his hands against the ground.

Buzz—

A gray light rose from the formation, enveloping everyone. Their vision blurred as an intense pulling force took hold of them.

Recalling Su Mo's instructions, they all refrained from resisting.

Buzz—

Moments later, Ning Fengzhi and the others felt a brief sensation of weightlessness, as if they had suddenly stepped into empty space.

Thud—

But this sensation didn't last long before they felt solid ground beneath their feet once more.

Buzz—

As the gray light faded, they found themselves no longer in the familiar Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but instead standing in the wilderness.

"This is the outskirts of Star Dou Forest?"

"Impossible… Did we really just arrive directly at Star Dou Forest?"

"Su Mo, how did you do this?"

"This is unbelievable…"

"This is completely beyond imagination…"

Once they registered their surroundings, Ning Fengzhi and the others were completely stunned.

There was no mistaking it—Star Dou Forest was right before their eyes.

Realizing this, both Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong, as well as Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo, were all deeply shaken.

They had assumed Su Mo might have some kind of teleportation ability to move them quickly, but they had never expected him to instantly transport them from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect all the way to Star Dou Forest.

The distance between the two places was enormous.

Even by carriage, it would take almost a week to travel between them.

Yet now, they had arrived in the blink of an eye.

They had thought Su Mo's teleportation would require multiple steps, but to their shock, it had been accomplished in a single transfer.

This was terrifying—none of them had ever heard of a spatial soul skill being used in such a way.

"Yes, we're at Star Dou Forest now!"

"When I returned to the sect from Slaughter City, I passed through here and left behind a spatial marker. With that marker in place, I can use my ability to teleport us directly to the location."

Seeing their stunned expressions, Su Mo felt quite accomplished and explained with a casual smile.

"But wait…!"

"Su Mo, how did you manage to teleport all of us such a great distance?"

"What kind of soul skill is this?"

Bone Douluo still wasn't satisfied with Su Mo's simple explanation and immediately pressed for more details.

"Yeah, Su Mo, how did you do it?"

Ye Lingling and the others also looked at Su Mo with eager curiosity.

They understood the concept of leaving a spatial marker, but Su Mo made it sound so simple—almost too simple.

"Honestly, it really is that simple."

"This is a soul skill I created myself. As long as I set a spatial marker in advance, I can activate the ability to teleport to that location instantly!"

Su Mo shrugged.

The principle was truly straightforward, and while Ning Fengzhi and the others understood it, they still couldn't believe such a powerful teleportation soul skill existed.

"…"

Sure enough, after hearing Su Mo's response, Ning Fengzhi and the others fell silent.

To put it simply, this was just a soul skill.

A terrifyingly overpowered soul skill.

"I still can't believe it."

Bone Douluo smiled wryly.

"Yeah, if we weren't actually standing at the outskirts of Star Dou Forest, I wouldn't believe it either."

Ning Fengzhi added, still in awe.

Swoosh—

Sword Douluo vanished in a flash, appearing high in the sky, scanning the surrounding terrain.

A moment later, he descended and nodded.

"No doubt about it, this really is Star Dou Forest."

Suppressing his shock, he confirmed their location.

"Su Mo, you said this is a soul skill you created?"

"Does that mean it doesn't require a soul ring to use?"

Now that he had accepted Su Mo's incredible spatial ability, Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up as he eagerly inquired further.
