126: Chapter 126 I would call you the strongest in the Nascent Soul stage!

Tian Battle roared angrily, his gaze sweeping the entire area like lightning.

When he saw Su Mo standing beside Tian Moon, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and a ferocious grin spread across his lips:

“Good! So it was you, kid!”

Tian Battle strode toward Su Mo; with every step he took, the ground trembled slightly.

“Second Brother?!”

Tian Moon exclaimed.

“Why are you here?!”

“Little Sister, Second Brother will catch up with you later.”

Tian Battle waved his large hand, and a gentle Spiritual Power lightly pushed Tian Moon aside.

He stared intensely at Su Mo:

“Kid, you were the one driving the flying boat that crashed into me just now, right!”

“That crash had quite a punch!”

Tian Battle slowly rubbed his fists together, making a crisp crackling sound, and approached step by step.

“Come! Let me see if you yourself are as tough as your flying boat!”

Su Mo was originally wondering who this aggressive man was, only feeling that this person's Aura was somewhat familiar.

But upon hearing the man say that he had crashed a flying boat into him, Su Mo immediately realized the situation.

He smiled slightly and stepped forward without changing his expression:

“So it was Tian Moon's Second Brother. When we met in the air just now, I, Su, thought it was some Rogue Cultivator trying to block the road and rob me. It was only out of urgency that I collided, please forgive me.”

Since Su Mo wasn't at a disadvantage after crashing into Tian Battle like that, he decided to give him some Face, considering he was Tian Moon's Second Brother.

Hearing this, Tian Battle's eyes flashed with appreciation:

“What a sharp-tongued kid!”

“Since you apologized, we can skip the spar. However...”

Seeing that Su Mo was young, and knew his sister Tian Moon, his cultivation couldn't be very high. Fighting him would be like kneading dough—pointless.

“This flying boat, however, is quite interesting.”

Tian Battle changed the subject, looking indifferently at Su Mo:

“Name your price, I'll take it!”

Su Mo smiled and gently shook his head:

“Sorry, this flying boat—is not for sale!!”

Tian Battle raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised to be refused:

“Kid, in this Cultivation World, strength ultimately speaks loudest.”

“You are young. Even if your Talent is great, you are at most at the Golden Core Stage. And I...”

Tian Battle's entire body's Aura suddenly erupted. The Late Spirit Transformation Stage pressure wasn't aimed at anyone specifically, yet it made all the Cultivators in the entire Market feel difficulty breathing, and those with weaker cultivations even collapsed directly onto the ground.

But Su Mo faced this pressure with a natural expression, a faint smile playing on his lips:

“You are mistaken, I am not at the Golden Core Stage.”

“But at the Nascent Soul Stage!”

“Although it's not high, dealing with you should be more than enough.”

Tian Battle was first stunned, and then a sharp light flashed in his eyes:

“I didn't expect you to hide your strength so well. You must be a reserve Saint from some Sect in the Central Region!”

“Come, let me see what capabilities you have at the Nascent Soul Stage...”

“Second Brother!”

Just as the two were at loggerheads, Tian Moon finally couldn't hold back. She flashed between them, angrily scolding Tian Battle:

“Su Mo is my Honored Guest!”

“If you hurt him, I... I will immediately send a message to Father saying you are causing trouble outside again!”

Hearing Tian Moon's words, Tian Battle's Aura immediately stalled, and he said sheepishly:

“Little Sister, are you still a member of the Tian Family?”

“Why are you helping an outsider...”

“Oh~”

He suddenly remembered something and smiled wickedly:

“Little Sister, he was the one who hugged and held you, right?!”

Tian Moon's Pretty Face instantly flushed crimson, and she stomped her foot in shame and annoyance:

“Second Brother, stop talking nonsense...”

Tian Battle ignored his sister's unusual reaction and stared straight at Su Mo:

“Kid, it looks like you absolutely must take this beating!”

“If you want to harbor designs on my sister, let me test your skills first!”

Su Mo suddenly felt confused. He hadn't done anything, so how did the situation turn out like this?!

Just as he was about to explain, a Sound Transmission rang in his ear:

“Kid, this place is too small for a fight. If you have the guts, follow me!”

Tian Battle's figure flickered, turning into a black-red Escape Light that shot straight out of the Market.

Su Mo frowned and shook his head helplessly:

“Forget it. Since this person is so eager for a beating, I might as well grant his wish.”

White light enveloped his entire body, and Su Mo instantly transformed into a Escape Light, chasing after Tian Battle at an even faster speed.

Tian Moon stood where she was, watching the two Streaks of Light disappear into the distance, her eyes full of worry.

Her Second Brother was not only at the Late Spirit Transformation Stage, but he was also ranked tenth on the deity transformation prodigy ranking. Even if Su Mo was at the Soul Transformation Stage, he wouldn't be able to defeat him... Thinking of this, she didn't care about anything else. She instructed the Steward to watch the shop, and then flew into the air to pursue them... The two streams of light streaked across the sky, one after the other, disappearing into the distance in the blink of an eye.

Su Mo, starting later but arriving earlier, easily caught up with Tian Battle ahead.

He turned his head to look at the other party, his tone calm:

“How about here?”

Tian Battle was secretly shocked.

What did this kid eat growing up to be so fast!!

But he still maintained his composure and stopped:

“Good! Right here!”

The two floated above a barren mountain range. Below them were continuous mountains, and there was no sign of human habitation around.

Tian Battle stretched his muscles and bones:

“Kid, do you want me to give you a handicap?”

“I'll suppress my cultivation down to the Nascent Soul Stage, so no one can say I'm bullying the weak.”

Su Mo gently shook his head, a slight curve appearing at the corner of his mouth:

“Don't suppress it. Otherwise, the fight won't be satisfying.”

Since Su Mo's current Reincarnation, this was the first time he had encountered an opponent who could barely be considered a match, and his long-absent Battle Intent began to rise.

Deep down, he had always yearned for a Close-Quarters Brawl fit for a true man!

Tian Battle was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing:

“Good! How arrogant! Then I shall grant your wish!”

As soon as his voice fell, Tian Battle's Aura soared, and blood-red Spiritual Power wrapped around his body like flames.

This was the Heaven Rank Intermediate Body Refining Cultivation Technique he Cultivated, the Burning Blood Immortal Body. When Cultivated to Major Achievement, one's vital Qi and blood could be like a Dragon, burning the heavens and boiling the seas!

In comparison, Su Mo seemed somewhat unremarkable.

Only a soft white light slowly illuminated his body, making it clear at a glance that this person was a Warm Man.

“Kid, let me see what capabilities you possess!”

Tian Battle grinned, revealing his stark white teeth.

With that, he violently stepped into the air and threw a punch—simple and direct, yet containing the power to collapse mountains and split the earth.

The might of this punch was enough to make ordinary Soul Transformation Cultivators retreat three steps!

However, Su Mo neither dodged nor avoided, meeting the strike with a punch of his own.

Boom—!!!

The massive sound of the two fists colliding shook the heavens and the earth. A terrifying shockwave spread out from the two people, the barren mountain beneath their feet trembled violently, and countless broken stones rolled down.

Tian Battle was somewhat surprised. He only felt a force of comparable strength coming from the punch.

Although he held back, using only fifty percent of his strength, it shouldn't have been a blow a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator could take.

Moreover, judging by Su Mo's appearance, taking that punch was quite easy for him.

“Kid, not bad! To actually be able to take a punch using fifty percent of my strength!”

“It's a pity there's no Nascent Soul Prodigy Ranking in the Central Region. If there were, I would call you the strongest Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator!”

Tian Battle laughed heartily, the appreciation in his eyes growing stronger.

“However... next, I'm going to put in some effort.”

Hearing this, Su Mo smiled mysteriously:

“Then how do you know... how much strength I used just now?”

Su Mo had only used thirty percent of his strength in that punch just now!
