At this moment, the entire plaza fell silent.
You could hear a pin drop.
Disbelief was written on everyone’s faces.
They felt like they were going insane.
They were all wildly speculating. ’Just who is Su Mo? How could he possibly produce so many Treasures?’
Even Man Mountain, Mu Qing, and Wu Hao, who had somewhat prepared themselves mentally, were utterly dumbfounded.
Man Mountain walked up to Ren Fan and taunted, "Didn’t you just say Elder Su’s Treasures couldn’t possibly outnumber yours? Why aren’t you running your mouth now?"
Ren Fan’s face darkened, the verbal slap stinging sharply.
He never would have dreamed that Su Mo would actually produce so many Treasures, completely crushing everyone present.
A long while later...
Li Nan asked in confusion, "Hm? Where did that kid go? I don’t see him."
"Yeah, where is he?"
Everyone looked around, searching for Su Mo.
BANG!
Just then, a fist blasted out from within the Treasure Mountain, shattering numerous Treasures.
The owner of that fist was none other than Su Mo.
He had been buried by the Treasure Mountain.
"Holy crap, that kid just destroyed so many Treasures! What a colossal waste!"
"Damn him! Just because he has a lot of Treasures, he doesn’t have to cherish them?"
"If you gave me those destroyed Treasures, I could immediately advance to Grand Martial Artist and establish my own family clan."
Seeing the Treasures Su Mo had destroyed, everyone’s eyes turned red with envy and anger.
It was so damn infuriating.
"Kid, what’s gotten into you? Why are you recklessly destroying Treasures?"
Li Nan demanded, his voice filled with rage.
Even if you have a lot of Treasures, you can’t just waste them like that!
You have to understand, among the Treasures that were just destroyed, several of them had immense effects even for Martial Monarchs.
And yet, Su Mo destroyed them with a single punch.
Su Mo climbed out of the Treasure Mountain and grumbled, "You think I wanted to? It’s all your fault."
"Our fault?"
Li Nan was baffled.
’You destroyed the Treasures yourself, so how is it our fault?’
Su Mo looked at Li Nan and said, "When I was buried by the Treasures just now, I called for you to give me a hand, but you wouldn’t. These Treasures ended up pinning me down. I had no choice but to destroy them and climb out myself."
"Then why didn’t you call for help?"
Li Nan said, suppressing his rage.
Su Mo replied, "I did call for help. I shouted for a long time, until my throat was raw, but none of you paid any attention to me."
"You... you... you..."
Li Nan was still incandescent with rage.
Fairy Jinghong said in a cold voice, "Do you have any idea how many Treasures you destroyed with that one punch?"
"Well... they’re my Treasures. Whether I destroy them or not doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you, does it?"
Su Mo said nonchalantly.
Fairy Jinghong’s face turned green.
As the most beautiful woman and most monstrously talented genius in the Northern Profound Domain, this was the first time she had ever been rendered speechless in public.
But Su Mo was right.
The Treasures belonged to him. Never mind destroying them, even if he fed them to dogs, it didn’t have a damn thing to do with her.
It was none of her business!
Su Mo urged, "What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and count my Treasures, calculate my Points."
Li Nan felt completely numb.
’How the hell are we supposed to count all this?’
Even if the three of them counted until nightfall, they probably still wouldn’t be able to tally up the total number of Treasures.
It would wrack their brains completely.
The Middle-aged Steward said, "Elder Li, I suggest we just stop counting. We can just give him first place, or maybe a million Points."
"I think that’s feasible. Fairy Jinghong, what do you think?"
Li Nan looked toward Fairy Jinghong.
Fairy Jinghong nodded heavily. "One million Points isn’t too much."
In the last Holy Spirit Competition of the Upper Realm, all the participants combined didn’t even reach one million Points.
This year, Su Mo alone has broken the million mark.
In other words, Su Mo had found more Treasures than all the participants of the last Holy Spirit Competition combined.
It was truly unbelievable.
Li Nan said, "A million it is, then. I’ll announce it."
"Wait!"
Su Mo stopped him.
Li Nan said, displeased, "Kid, we’ve already acknowledged you as first place and given you a million Points. What more do you want?"
Su Mo said, "I’m worried someone will accuse me of cheating to get by later. It’s better to count them clearly right here and now."
"Rest assured, with me here, absolutely no one will dare accuse you of that."
Li Nan guaranteed with absolute certainty.
However, Su Mo still wasn’t buying it. "Even with close brothers, accounts must be settled clearly. I can’t just vaguely accept your Points."
"You..."
Li Nan was so angry he gritted his teeth, his face contorting.
’Why is this kid so stubborn?’
’He’s really set on arguing with me.’
Su Mo frowned. "Don’t tell me you think it’s too much trouble to count all this?"
"Hmph. If it’s no trouble, then you count it."
Li Nan said coldly.
He refused to believe Su Mo could count such a huge Treasure Mountain all by himself.
He’d collapse from exhaustion.
Su Mo said, "Count it is. You three, step aside. I’ll have this counted for you in a matter of minutes."
"What?"
Li Nan, Fairy Jinghong, and the others looked completely bewildered.
’Counted in minutes?’
’What the hell are you talking about?’
It would take the three of them several days to count it all.
How could Su Mo possibly finish counting it by himself in just a few minutes?
Li Nan was so angry he started to laugh. "Fine, fine. I’ll give you ten minutes... no, I’ll give you ten hours. If you can finish counting, then I’ll be truly impressed."
’You like to argue, do you?’
’Then I’ll play your game today.’
’Let’s see whose face gets slapped in the end.’
Fairy Jinghong tried to persuade him, "You’re Su Mo, correct? I advise you not to count. As long as you can advance to the third and final round, the exact number of Points doesn’t really matter."
However, Su Mo just shook his head.
It might not have mattered to Fairy Jinghong, but to him, it mattered a great deal.
Because he had to win fair and square, with complete clarity.
’What kind of win would it be if it was all vague and muddled?’
Su Mo said, "Fairy Jinghong, you and Elder Li just wait on the side for one minute. I guarantee I’ll finish counting these Treasures, down to the very last one."
"Finish in one minute? What nonsense is this kid spouting now?"
"Does he have three heads and six arms?"
"Stop bullshitting. Even with three heads and six arms, it’s impossible to count all that in one minute."
The crowd chattered amongst themselves.
Ren Fan sneered, "Likes to show off? Heh, just wait for him to be humiliated."
This time, even Man Mountain, Mu Qing, and the others chose to remain silent.
It wasn’t that they didn’t believe in him.
It was that Su Mo’s boast was so outrageous that he had burned all his bridges.
Li Nan sneered, "One minute, is it? Heh, I’ll give you this chance. Just don’t find yourself in a position you can’t get out of."
After speaking, Li Nan proactively stepped to the side.
Fairy Jinghong and the Middle-aged Steward shook their heads helplessly and also moved to the side.
Su Mo stood at the foot of the Treasure Mountain.
"Rise!"
Su Mo activated his True Dragon Divinity Refining Technique and let out a soft cry at the Treasure Mountain.
BOOM!
An invisible, terrifying wave of Soul Power erupted, enveloping the entire Treasure Mountain.
In the next second, all the Treasures flew into the air.
"What terrifying Soul Power!"
"He lifted the entire Treasure Mountain with his power alone! How did he do that?"
"Could it be... he has the Soul Power of a Martial King?"
"A Martial King... then why couldn’t he fly when he was buried by the Treasure Mountain earlier?"
Everyone was stunned into silence by this scene.
They were completely dumbfounded.
The Middle-aged Steward asked in alarm, "Fairy Jinghong, can you tell what method he’s using?"
"I can’t tell!"
Fairy Jinghong said, shaking her head.
