Su Mo looked at the information screen before him and became extremely satisfied. Although it was only a minor improvement, it was still beneficial to the village.

“It’s a pity that I don’t have time to go and take a look around. I have other business to attend to!” After saying that, Su Mo left.

Su Mo did not cultivate. Instead, he went to the blacksmith’s workshop. Su Mo had obtained the talent of a blacksmith in the past month, and he could already begin refining spirit tools on his own.

Unfortunately, due to Su Mo’s cultivation, the temperature of the fire was not high enough, so he could only refine spirit tools. But this time, Su Mo wanted to refine the spirit tools of the participants.

Su Mo was aware of his disciple’s capabilities. Yu Yuanjia and the other six disciples were cultivators of a higher realm, so the more prominent clans would notice them.

But they could not compare to the true elites. Although Lin Ping’s physical strength was monstrous among the elites, his cultivation realm was still lower than theirs.

Therefore, it was more difficult for him to be rewarded just by training, so Su Mo planned to arm them with special equipment. But these were no ordinary equipment.

Su Mo wanted to arm them with top-grade spirit weapons. He had planned to equip them from head to toe. If it were allowed, Su Mo would even arm their teeth.

This was also why Su Mo only used thirty percent of the resources to upgrade the village. After all, the refinement of a spirit weapon would consume many resources.

While Su Mo was refining the spirit weapons, he began cultivating the Secret Earth Technique he had just obtained. This was something that even the system had described as a mysterious technique.

Su Mo was confident that his trip to the Nine Heavens Palace would not be easy. So he felt that he needed to be well prepared. He was not the only one participating in this competition. His disciples were also participants.

Su Mo could not treat the lives of his disciples as a joke. He had to be fully prepared to deal with all possible outcomes!

…

While sumo was in seclusion, a mutiny broke out in the entire Raging Waves Continent because of the Trial of the Blades Assembly. Many reputable clans began to prepare for the competition and train their elite clan members.

They desperately wanted the competition’s rewards. It didn’t matter whether they had magical treasures or not. The cultivators in the Raging Waves Continent loved to compete and spar with others.

The smaller clans showed that they had received an invitation from the Nine Heavens Palace, and some even paid for the invitation.

Such a grand event only happened once in a while. As long as they made their presence known at such an event, the reputations of their clans would undoubtedly increase.

Moreover, these smaller clans would have a chance to build closer relationships with the more prominent clans. This was an excellent opportunity for the smaller clans to leap forward, increasing their reputation.

The fiery atmosphere continued, but of course, it had nothing to do with the Crimson Heart Clan.

It was now late night on the sixth day, so Su Mo called out to his disciples and Lin Ping. At this time, Lin Ping had successfully ascended into the Meridian Formation Realm, and he was only nine years old.

It could be said that Lin Ping had set a new cultivation record in the Ragin Waves Continent.

“How are you feeling?” Su Mo looked at Yu Yuanjia and asked.

“I’ve ascended into level eight of the Meridian Formation Realm, and the rest have ascended into level six of the Meridian Formation Realm,” Yu Yuanjia replied.

The disciples had advanced by a small amount in a short time.

Yu Yuanjia was initially around the same level as the rest of the disciples, but because he had digested the Blue Ice Pill, he had managed to advance even further than the others.

“That’s good to hear. You guys didn’t let me down. Come over and give these a try!” Su Mo said with satisfaction.

As Su Mo spoke, he threw out a pile of spirit tools as if they were candy.

“Are these supreme-grade spirit tools?!” Shi Xingde said in disbelief.

All kinds of supreme-grade spirit tools were scattered on the ground, from underwear to robes and hair ties to shoes.

“You guys can share them amongst yourselves. Oh, these are high-grade spiritual artifacts that I refined. These are long swords. You guys can share those too,” Su Mo said as he waved his hand.

“Is there anything you can’t do, Clan Master Su?” Guo Zhemao said with admiration.

“Clan Master Su, I don’t want to use longswords. I want the same gauntlets that you have!” Yu Yuanjia said hesitantly.

“What? Why?” Su Mo was curious.

A swordsman didn’t want a longsword and instead wanted gauntlets

“I watched your battle against Hornless Dragon, and I felt my blood boil! I feel like that’s how a man should always fight!” Yu Yuanjia said with yearning.

“Hahaha! I can help you with that but now is not the time. Your fist technique is pretty bad. You should use the long sword for now.”

Su Mo knew what Yu Yuanjia was thinking. At the same time, he also decided in his heart.

…

The disciples sorted out the spirit tools in an orderly manner.

“The robe and hair ties are defensive spirit tools. One is for physical defense, and the other is for spirit protection. I also put my mantra in those shoes and socks. As long as you inject your magical powers within them, you will be able to increase your speed.”

“Thank you, Clan Master Su! Master!” The seven disciples bowed in unison.

“There’s no need to thank me. As long as you bring back the magic treasures from the competition, I will consider all of this to be worth it,” Su Mo said with a smile.

“Let’s go. It’s about time we made our leave. Today is the day we show the Raging Waves Continent what the Crimson Hearts can do!” After saying that, Su Mo took off in the lead.

Seeing this, the seven disciples chased after Su Mo.

…

On this day, the Nine Heavens Palace was lively.

After accepting their invitation, no one in the Raging Waves Continent would dare stand up against the Nine Heavens Palace.

Most of the clans that received the invitation showed up, and those who did not intend on participating had sold their invitations at a high price. But the Nine Heavens Palace did not care as long as there were enough participants.

The palace master did not care whether or not the smaller clans wanted to participate in this event. There was only one person she was interested in, and that person was Su Mo.

…

Meanwhile, Su Mo had already arrived at the venue’s entrance. Su Mo flashed his invitation card and walked in. However, as soon as he walked in, he sensed a murderous aura.

Su Mo followed the murderous aura and looked over. He didn’t expect to see members of the Cerulean Ocean Blade Clan.

Li Jianting sat steadily on the platform, resembling an arrogant old man. His aura was deep and imposing, making Su Mo feel an enormous weight on his shoulders.

Li Jianting did nothing besides emitting a murderous aura that Su Mo had sensed. Li Jianting simply looked around judgingly, only feeling a trace of fear after seeing the palace master of the Nine Heavens Palace.

When the palace master saw Su Mo walking over, the fire in her eyes grew even more violent.

“Who is that young man? Is he really leading a team of his own at such a young age? Could he also be a clan master?” Someone asked.

“That’s the Devil of the Crimson Heart Clan!” Someone from the floating island immediately answered.

“W-what? Is that the Crimson Heart Clan? Did the Nine Heavens Palace really invite them?” Someone questioned.

“A clan of the Demonic Path is here too? Leave at once!”

“Get out of here, you Devil. You’re not welcome here.”

Su Mo couldn’t help but scratch his nose and smile.

‘When did I become public enemy number one?’ Su Mo thought to himself..
