Chapter 2 Past and Present
After leaving the martial arts venue, Su Mo returned directly to his courtyard.
Sitting on the stone bench in the yard, Su Mo felt depressed when he thought of the previous awakening of the martial soul.
It was completely beyond his own expectations to awaken such a low-level martial soul.
"It's been fourteen years!" Su Mo's thoughts drifted and murmured to himself.
In fact, Su Mo did not originally belong to this world, he came from the earth.
Su Mo is a mercenary in the 21st century, to be precise, a mercenary king, a myth in the mercenary world, and a legendary hero of a generation.
He was an orphan who lived in a relative's house since he was a child. When he was seventeen, he resolutely dropped out of school and went to join the army.
After training in the army for two years, Su Mo entered the strongest special forces in China with his excellent military literacy. Soon, he became the trump card of this special forces.
In four years, Su Mo carried out nearly a hundred national military tasks, and all of them were successfully completed.
Originally, Su Mo was going to devote his whole life to the country and the army, but unexpectedly, an accident caused him to retire early and leave the army sadly.
When Su Mo returned to the local area, he was completely out of touch with society and could not find a job at all. He had no education, no skills, and no connections, and was a completely unattended person.
After half a year of confusion, Su Mo finally decided to embark on the journey again.
He contacted several former comrades and formed a small mercenary organization called "Dragon Soul".
In the following years, Su Mo and his Dragon Soul Mercenary Group spread all over the world.
Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, wherever there is war, they are there.
The Dragon Soul Mercenary Group grew rapidly, from the initial few people to dozens of people, hundreds of people, and finally the number reached thousands.
The Dragon Soul Mercenary Group grew from an unknown small mercenary organization to a powerful mercenary that was trembling with the dark world.
The Dragon Soul Mercenary has never completed a task. As long as the price paid by the employer is small, from assassinating someone, from destroying the government forces of a small country, and overthrowing a government, it is simply omnipotent.
A year ago, the Dragon Soul Mercenary was even more defeated. The Black Blood Mercenary, known as the world's number one, became the new king of the mercenary world.
As the leader of the Dragon Soul Mercenary Army, Long Xiao Su Mo is even known as the King of Mercenaries.
It can be said that Su Mo's name is a taboo in the dark world. When he stomps his feet, the dark world will tremble for it.
However, if you often walk by the river, you can’t help but wet your shoes. In the end, Su Mo still fell into it and completely fell into it!
He was betrayed by his most trusted brother, and was deeply encircled, and finally died with his enemies.
Fourteen years after coming to this world, Su Mo has already adapted to everything here, and he is almost forgetting everything in his previous life.
Su Mo was very curious about this world. This is a magical world, completely different from the earth.
This land is called the Sky Continent, which is vast and endless, with a radius of countless thousands of miles.
Here, martial arts is the most respected, and the weak prey on the weak. The strong are like kings and are respected by others; the weak are like ants and are bullied by others.
If you practice martial arts to the extreme, you can turn the world, go to heaven and earth, travel to the vast world, and have great skills to reach the sky and the earth.
Power, status, money, beauty, everything is closely related to martial arts, and the strong are within their reach.
If you want to become a powerful warrior, you can only awaken your own martial soul and communicate with the world through the martial soul, absorb spiritual energy, temper your body, and condense true energy.
There are many kinds of martial souls, countless.
Different martial souls naturally have strengths and weaknesses, all of which are divided into three levels: heaven, earth, and man, and each level is divided into nine levels.
The higher the level of the martial soul, the stronger the strength and potential of the warrior, and the faster the cultivation speed.
When coming to this world, Su Mo has been working very hard since he started practicing.
Because, the world is so big and so exciting, he wants to go and see it.
In his previous life, he was a strong man and was intimidating the world.
In this life, he still wants to be a strong man and stand at the peak of this continent.
 
Wishes are beautiful, but reality is extremely cruel!
"Mo'er."
At this time, a thick sound sounded from the door, pulling Su Mo Piaofei's thoughts back.
The person who came was a middle-aged man with a tall figure and a solemn face. He was Su Hong, the head of the Su family.
"Mo'er, don't think too much about martial souls. Even if the martial soul level is not high, as long as you practice hard, you will have the chance to become a strong person in the future.
When Su Hong saw Su Mo, he comforted him.
Su Mo smiled bitterly, not just because of his low level? It was simply low and could not be lower!
"Father, don't worry, I will work hard!" Su Moqiang squeezed out a smile and said.
He knew his father was comforting him.
As we all know, the level of martial soul determines a person's future achievements. The higher the level of martial soul, the further the road to martial arts will go.
This is the iron law of this world.
With the human-level first-level martial soul, it is almost impossible to become a strong man.
"Um."
Su Hong nodded, took out a jade bottle from his arms, handed it to Su Mo, and said, "This is a Qi Condensation Pill. After taking it, you can break through your cultivation level and reach the Qi Refining Realm."
"Father……"
Su Mo felt sad. He awakened a first-level human-level martial soul. It can be said that he will be a waste of cultivation from now on.
The Qi Condensation Pill is worth a thousand gold, and the family cannot give him such a precious pill. The only explanation is that Su Hong bought it himself.
Su Mo accepted the pill, and then the father and son chatted for a while before Su Hong left.
"I don't know what kind of martial soul I awaken?"
After his father left, Su Mo did not rush to take the pills, and he walked out of the room cross-legged and released his martial soul.
A pitch-black vortex, flashing with a circle of yellow halos, quietly floating above Sumo.
"I don't know what special abilities this martial soul has? Let's practice it first before talking about it."
Su Mo calmed down and communicated with the martial soul and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
The dark vortex martial soul slowly rotated, and a strong suction force came from the vortex.
Widths of spiritual energy gathered towards Su Mo and entered his body.
Su Mo quickly sank into practice, activates his martial soul, and constantly absorbs spiritual energy.
After a long time, Su Mo stopped practicing.
Su Mo opened his eyes, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Although my martial soul is only at the first level of human level, it is comparable to the second level of human level of others."
Su Mo has seen a warrior with a human-level second-level martial soul, and is not much better than his martial soul.
This was an unexpected surprise, which comforted him a lot.
Su Mo thought for a moment and realized that this might be related to the characteristics of his martial soul.
This martial soul is a vortex suit, and the vortex itself has the characteristics of swallowing and sucking.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the speed of absorbing spiritual energy is comparable to that of human-level second-level martial souls.
Next, Su Mo took out the Qi Condensation Pill given to him by his father and prepared to advance to the Qi Refining Realm.
The first path of martial arts is to temper the body. After completing the ninth level of body quenching, you can awaken the martial soul, absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, condense the true energy, and enter the Qi Refining Realm.
Only by entering the Qi Refining Realm can one be considered a true warrior.
Su Mo took Qi Condensation Pill, and the surging medicinal power of Qi Condensation Pill suddenly exploded in his body.
Su Mo hurriedly guided the medicine into the dantian and began to condense the true qi.
Time passed slowly. Two hours later, Su Mo's eyes suddenly opened, and a flash of light in his eyes disappeared.
At this time, a cloud of fog-filled true energy had been condensed in his dantian.
Chapter completed!
