The Seventh Base

Chapter 166: Chapter 62 Got Tricked

An old warehouse.

Two people were practicing with sabers.

Xu Mo’s moves were fierce, his saber creating a continuous chain of attacks.

The elder was sparring with him, easily blocking Xu Mo’s strikes no matter how they came and counterattacking at the right moments.

Xu Mo had an advantage.@@novelbin@@

His perceptive abilities almost allowed him to predict the trajectory of movements.

...

But in front of the elder, his advantage was useless.

Unpredictable.

Even if he predicted correctly, he couldn’t react in time.

“Use all your strength,” the elder said.

“Boom…” Energy shone upon Xu Mo’s War Saber, and a faint light of the saber burst forth.

He swung his saber, radiant as if wanting to break through the air.

Four layers of saber light exploded in succession.

The elder simply knocked aside with his War Saber, effortlessly shattering the saber light.

“Bang.”

A powerful rebound force sent Xu Mo flying back; he staggered continuously as he retreated, looking at the elder.

The gap was too wide.

“Teacher, what level are you?” Xu Mo asked.

“I’m using Source Power of the same intensity as yours,” the elder replied, which somewhat frustrated Xu Mo.

His Source Power Level had already broken through to B-minus.

The elder meant that he was only using Source Power of the B-minus level.

But even so, he was still completely suppressing Xu Mo.

“Use all your strength. I know you’re hiding your true power. Don’t hold back, at your current level, you can’t even make me take a step back,” the elder said.

Xu Mo’s expression grew serious as he stared at the elder.

Saber ready.

He rushed forward, with Energy Light flickering on his War Saber. A powerful Source Power Field emerged, as if the surrounding Source Power was converging on his saber.

“Boom…” Suddenly, a surge of electricity sparkled, and the intensity of the Source Power on his War Saber increased dramatically.

The saber struck, like lightning crossing the sky, its light blossoming like Thunder Light.

The elder raised his saber to block.

“Bang!”

A dull sound echoed, accompanied by a strong current. Xu Mo slid backward, but the elder also took a step back, his other hand straining slightly to steady himself, his body leaning backward.

His elder face turned red.

“Teacher, you took a step back,” Xu Mo said with a smile.

“I let you have that one,” the elder denied: “What is this ability of yours?”

“Teacher, my spiritual power can control Source Power. Is this Superpower commonly seen among Source Power Practitioners?” Xu Mo said, knowing the elder was already aware of the events in the Underworld.

There was no need to hide it anymore. It was an opportunity to seek advice.

The elder’s heart skipped a beat.

This monster!

Lucky I acted quickly.

“Among Source Power Practitioners, some possess Extraordinary Power related to spiritual power, which manifests in certain characteristics, but direct control of Source Power, I’ve never seen,” the elder maintained a calm tone.

Maintain restraint!

“However, I’ve heard of some Alien races that possess peculiar Extraordinary Powers. Some of their groups might have something similar to yours,” the elder continued.

Xu Mo nodded, realizing that his Extraordinary Ability was also rare in the upper world.

His brain area absorbed and evolved with Source Power, strengthening his spiritual power.

“Teacher, how did you know I was hiding my strength?” Xu Mo asked.

“I guessed,” the elder replied.

“……”

I’ve been had!

“Don’t use your special ability casually, keep some strength hidden. It can save your life at a critical moment,” the elder advised: “Keep the matter of your spiritual power to yourself, and don’t reveal it at Nanming Academy either.”

He feared that old competitor would steal him away…

“Understood,” Xu Mo nodded.

Concealing some strength would indeed allow hidden enemies to misjudge him and could save his life in critical moments.

The teacher was thoughtful.

The elder was starting to regret, thinking if only he hadn’t agreed to let Xu Mo go to Nanming Academy. If that old fellow learns these secrets, wouldn’t he go to all lengths to keep Xu Mo there?

With this thought, the elder patted Xu Mo on the shoulder and said, “This journey is perilous, do not fall into a trap.”

“Rest assured, teacher.”

Xu Mo nodded, confident he wouldn’t easily be deceived.

“Hmm,” the elder nodded in satisfaction.

“Teacher, Xu Mo, Sister Leng Qiu is here,” Elsa walked in and called out.

Xu Mo looked outside and saw Leng Qiu walking in, saying, “Teacher, junior brother.”

“Senior sister,” Xu Mo replied.

“Teacher, I’m here to take him off,” Leng Qiu said.

“Alright,” the elder nodded: “Xu Mo, go ahead.”

“Sure,” Xu Mo responded and then followed senior sister Leng Qiu out.

“Junior brother, what is the teacher sending you to Nanming Academy for?” Once they were in the car, Leng Qiu asked.

Xu Mo looked at the short-haired beauty starting the car and realized that senior sister Leng Qiu was also curious.

“To visit the old dean of Nanming Academy,” Xu Mo replied.

“Is that so?” Leng Qiu looked skeptical.

“What is it, senior sister?” Xu Mo inquired.

“The news I’ve heard seems to be a little different,” Leng Qiu murmured.

“Oh?” Xu Mo was startled and asked, “What news has senior sister heard?”

“I heard from Nanming Academy that your visit this time is for an arranged meeting with Nanming Huo Wu,” Leng Qiu looked at Xu Mo with an odd expression.

“???”

Xu Mo had an ominous premonition.

Who was setting him up???

“Junior brother, I’ll leave you at the entrance of Nanming Academy and won’t accompany you inside. Be careful on your own,” Leng Qiu advised earnestly.

“I…”

Xu Mo felt increasingly uneasy.

An arranged meeting???

With Nanming Huo Wu?

Xu Mo was starting to regret his agreement.

……

The Nanming Family was situated within Nanming Academy.

Nanming Academy was founded by the Nanming Family itself, holding the primary authority.

At this moment, within the elegant and grand courtyard of the Nanming Family, an elder lay in a chair, thoroughly enjoying himself.

“Let that old geezer show off in front of him; today, his disciple is going to suffer a bit.”

Meanwhile, Nanming Academy was in an uproar.

Xu Mo, that S-grade prodigy from Noah Academy.

He had overshadowed the newcomers of all Eight Extraordinary Colleges.

Even Lin Jue was suppressed by him.

There were many outstanding individuals in this year’s Nanming Academy, who used to be worshipped by many, especially by the girls.

But now, when they saw the talented students from Nanming, they thought… compared to Xu Mo, they still fell short!

Now, news had spread that Xu Mo was entering Nanming Academy to court Nanming Huowu.

This was intolerable!

Absolutely unacceptable!

Many male students were shouting, “I cannot coexist under the same sky as Xu Mo.”

On this day, Nanming students sharpened their knives, eagerly awaiting Xu Mo’s arrival.

This was too outrageous!

Outside of Nanming Academy, there were already quite a few people waiting.

Leng Qiu’s car arrived and stopped at the entrance of Nanming Academy.

Seeing the people outside staring in their direction, Leng Qiu said, “Brother Xu Mo, take care of yourself and call me when you come out.”

“Okay,” Xu Mo nodded and got out of the car.

In an instant, gazes landed on him.

After the city-wide live broadcast a few days ago, there were almost none in the Eight Extraordinary Colleges who did not know him.

“He’s here.”

“Let’s go to the academy.”

Many male students spoke up, with some sending messages and others running to spread the news.

There were also girls taking photos of Xu Mo.

In person, he’s even more handsome!

Wonder if he has a girlfriend in Noah Academy.

Xu Mo took steps forward and walked into Nanming Academy.

All along the way, pairs of eyes watched him.

Xu Mo realized he didn’t know the way.

So, he spoke up, “Excuse me, how do I get to the Nanming Family?”

“I’ll take you.”

“I’ll show you the way.”

In an instant, many female students from Nanming stepped forward together.

Seeing this scene, the male students of Nanming Academy cried out, “Traitors!”

It was a disgrace!

“Thanks,” Xu Mo said, “One is enough.”

The girls glanced at each other, but none of them left.

“No problem, it’s more lively with more people,” one of the girls said with a smile, “Let’s go.”

Saying so, she took the lead.

And so, Xu Mo was escorted forward by a group of female students from Nanming Academy.

The minds of the Nanming male students exploded.

Xu Mo himself felt helpless but he could only follow.

Soon, however, Xu Mo and his group were blocked.

Xu Mo saw an opponent he had defeated in the Ruins World, one of the top-ranked newcomers, Xu Gang.

Currently, Xu Gang and a group of newcomers stood together.

These newcomers were the finest in Nanming Academy this year, and they were waiting for Xu Mo.

“What are you doing?” a female student asked.

“Step aside, we just want to have a little exchange with student Xu Mo,” someone said.

The girls looked at Xu Mo, then stepped aside.

Xu Mo knew he couldn’t avoid the confrontation.

So, the only option was to fight his way through.

‎”Hit him,” many shouted, charging at Xu Mo.

They were already annoyed by a past fight in the Ruins World.

Now, this guy even dared to entice the Nanming Goddess?

This was unacceptable.

“Charge…”‎

A group of people rushed forward, showing no proper conduct in martial arts.

After all, Xu Mo was an S-rank, the top newcomer of the Eight Extraordinary Colleges.

However, they were not wielding weapons.

Clearly, they still had some restraints.

Xu Mo glanced at the crowd. He had never tried a weaponless brawl like this before.

“Buzz.”

A fist came flying towards Xu Mo; he dodged to the left, grabbed the attacker’s arm, and threw a fierce kick, sending the body flying into the people behind.

But at the same time, two more charged at him.

Xu Mo reached out with both hands, grabbed the two, and flung them to the ground.

More attackers swarmed in.

This irritated Xu Mo, showing youthful fervor.

The freshmen, being quite young,

Bent slightly at the knees, Xu Mo suddenly accelerated forward, like a wild beast on a rampage.

His breath seemed to roar; his body moved like thunder, embodying a force of a thousand pounds.

“Bang, bang, bang…” Figures were sent flying in all directions; Xu Mo cleared his path effortlessly with no one able to block his way.

Xu Gang and another set their sights on the charging Xu Mo, lunging forward, fists smashing out.

Xu Mo’s fists howled out with double-layered force.

‎”Bang…”

“Crack.”

The two were sent flying, their fists seemingly shattering as they crashed heavily to the ground.

“Sorry.”

Xu Mo looked at the fallen crowd and apologized, continuing forward. Many still surrounded him, but none dared to approach anymore.

The surrounding girls’ eyes shone; he truly deserved to be an S-rank.

Impressive!

The talents of Nanming Academy paled in comparison.

However, it was said that higher grades had people not wanting Xu Mo to easily step into the Nanming Family.

Although Xu Mo was an S-rank, he was still a newcomer and might face some hardships.
