Chapter 121 Disturbance

Three days later, Su Mo was lying in bed checking data when his wristband suddenly vibrated, and a virtual image popped up.

"Received an image communication request from Bagger."

Su Mo glanced at it, a little surprised. He wondered why Bagger was looking for him so early. He connected the virtual image communication.

Bagger and Xia Weiya's images popped up.

"Aren't you up yet!"

Bagger shouted loudly.

"Yeah, just woke up."

Su Mo replied awkwardly.

"Let's go train together this afternoon, I can guide you a bit."

Bagger said confidently and full of energy.

At this time, Xia Weiya, who was beside him, couldn't help but despise him and said, "Okay, stop showing off with your mediocre skills."

"Haha."

Bagger smiled.

Su Mo stretched and said to Xia Weiya and Bagger, "You guys go first, I'll rest for a few days before going. That kind of training is too intensive."

"Okay, then we'll ask you again later."

Xia Weiya and Bagger didn't think too much after hearing this.

"Okay, I'm hanging up."

Su Mo then hung up the communication.

Creator·Devourer said, "I thought you would agree, that's rare."

"In terms of training, it's mainly focused on the old man's side. If I stubbornly go to the training ground in Star Ring City, I'll definitely have to use the machines. Then the old man won't be able to train me. There's always a trade-off."

Su Mo was very rational and knew what was more important.

"Well, good luck."

Creator·Devourer nodded in response.

"Let's go, let's train!"

Su Mo got up full of energy, ready to go to the old man's place.

.....

Not long after.

Inside the secret laboratory.

"I'm back."

Su Mo greeted the old man in a good mood.

"Stop talking nonsense, go and prepare."

The old man said expressionlessly.

"No problem."

Su Mo then went to change clothes nimbly.

After changing his clothes, Su Mo directly entered the biological container and made a ready gesture to the old man.

The old man then started the instrument, and the training instrument kept making huge buzzing sounds.

He looked at the timer expressionlessly, checking Su Mo's condition from time to time.

Time passed bit by bit.

Soon the time displayed on the timer reached 55 minutes.

The old man was a little surprised to see this number. He calmed down and continued to wait.

When the time reached 58 minutes, Su Mo's condition fluctuated violently, and his face began to show a painful expression.

The old man narrowed his eyes.

When the timer reached 1 hour and 27 seconds.

Click~

The training facility stopped working.

Then Su Mo was ejected. He gasped for breath, and when he felt better, he couldn't wait to look up at the old man and asked.

"How was it? How long did I last?"

"Very good, better than I expected, you're improving very quickly."

The old man gave a rare high evaluation.

Su Mo was very happy to hear this.

"That's great."

"Keep up the good work."

"Okay!"

.....

--------------------

Half a month later, early in the morning.

Su Mo got up very early, and he was about to go to the old man's place after changing his clothes.

Suddenly the wristband vibrated.

He looked down and saw a communication request from Xia Weiya.

Su Mo was also a little surprised, and then connected the communication.

Xia Weiya and Bagger's images appeared at the same time. Their relationship was really extraordinary.

"Su Mo, you've been slacking off for half a month, it's time to train."

Xia Weiya said jokingly.

"Haha, really? Has it been half a month so quickly?"

"Stop pretending to be stupid, every time I ask you, you say you need to rest for a few more days. Are you going to train tomorrow afternoon?"

"Uh, I have something to do tomorrow, you guys go first."

"Really not going?"

"No."

Su Mo replied with a smile.

"I can't do anything with you. Forget it, I'll ask you later."

Xia Weiya didn't force it anymore.

"Haha, how's your training going recently?"

Su Mo asked politely.

"Of course I'm improving, don't underestimate me. Okay, I'm not talking to you anymore, I'll definitely impress you next time."

Xia Weiya replied confidently.

"Okay, okay."

Su Mo replied with a smile.

Xia Weiya then hung up the communication. However, after hanging up, the smile on her face gradually faded, and instead she showed a deep expression.

Bagger on the side couldn't help but say.

"Xia Weiya, do you think Su Mo might be feeling down? Did I say something too direct and harsh that day?"

Xia Weiya frowned and said in a deep voice.

"We can't rule out that possibility. After all, Su Mo is so strong, but he's running into walls in VI generation biological mech training. He might not be able to accept it for a while."

"To be honest, I still can't figure out why Su Mo's training results are so poor. It doesn't make sense."

"There's nothing strange about it. Although the VI generation biological mech anti-pollution training is related to strength, it depends more on the strength of the body. Su Mo is strong, and his explosive power is also fierce, but I heard that his body is severely polluted, maybe that's his flaw."

"If it's a physical defect, there's really no solution."

Bagger sighed deeply. He also felt it was a pity. According to Su Mo's level, he might have to pay several times the price of others to reach the 30-minute passing line, or even never touch it in his life.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Su Mo looks happy on the surface, but in reality, he's more calm and hardworking than anyone else. He's probably already annoyed enough."

"That's true."

......

On the other side, after Su Mo hung up the communication, he fell into deep thought, with a trace of gloom in his expression.

"Is it okay for you to keep rejecting them and not go to the Star Ring City for training?"

Creator·Devourer asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, at most they'll just think I'm slacking off. Let's not talk about that, let's go to the old man's place."

Su Mo replied in a low voice.

"Okay."

.....

Not long after, inside the secret laboratory.

Su Mo was soaking in the biological container, and the training instrument kept making huge buzzing sounds.

The old man stared at the timer while watching Su Mo's condition.

At this time, the time displayed on the timer had reached 57 minutes, but Su Mo's condition had fluctuated violently, and his face began to show a painful expression.

The old man quietly watched all this.

When the timer reached 1 hour and 12 seconds.

Click~

The training facility stopped working.

Then Su Mo was ejected. He was kneeling on the ground, supporting his body with one hand on the ground, gasping for breath, his face extremely pale.

After a few minutes, he recovered and looked up at the old man.

"How was it?"

"No, 1 hour and 12 seconds, more than ten seconds worse than before."

The old man said hoarsely.

Su Mo frowned when he heard this. He then slowly stood up, his face firm, and said.

"Again!"

The old man raised his hand and waved it, saying hoarsely to Su Mo.

"No need, you've reached a bottleneck now, you can't break through in a short time. Go back and rest for a while, and continue training after you've completely adjusted your condition."

The old man said to Su Mo very simply.

Su Mo was a little helpless after hearing the old man's words. Although he knew he was right, he was still a little unwilling.

"Okay, by the way, old man, how long can you last?"

The old man glanced at Su Mo and said hoarsely, "I haven't counted, but it's enough."

Su Mo's expression was very exciting when he heard the old man's words. How confident and powerful would he have to be to say it was enough.

"Okay."

"Go back, you don't have to come over recently, I'm also busy with some things."

The old man didn't have the desire to chat with Su Mo any longer, and directly waved his hand to let him go.

Su Mo could only leave helplessly.

......

At night, Su Mo was lying in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Creator·Devourer asked in a low voice, "What's wrong, are you still thinking about training?"

"Yeah, I don't think resting and adjusting will be very effective. I'm slowly getting used to high-intensity training now. I can definitely continue training, and the probability of breaking through will be higher."

Su Mo seriously discussed his thoughts with Little Devourer.

"Your idea is not wrong, but you definitely can't go to the old man's place."

Creator·Devourer replied in a deep voice.

"It's okay, isn't there also the Star Ring City training area?"

Su Mo thought for a while and replied.

"Aren't you afraid of running into Xia Weiya and the others? They've been asking you out a lot. It'll be hard to explain if you don't meet them."

"It's okay, I've thought about it, I can go to train earlier and stagger the time."

"Whatever you want."

Creator·Devourer didn't say anything more.

---------------

The next day, at five in the morning.

Su Mo came to the inner training ground very early.

The entire inner training ground was quiet and there was no one there, but this was normal. After all, even for the Royal Knights, this high-intensity VI generation biological mech training project was not easy on the body and they didn't come every day.

And this training project was open for a long time, so there was no need to rush to line up. Most of the time the training machines were vacant.

Soon Su Mo adjusted his condition and came to the training instrument, summoning the virtual operation interface.

After setting the delayed start, he went to change into his training clothes and entered the training instrument.

When the countdown ended, the training instrument started and Su Mo slowly closed his eyes.

At this moment, the entire training ground became quiet.

Not long after, the indicator light in the inner training room suddenly dimmed, and then the door was opened.

Icarus walked out coldly. When she was about to leave, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at the operating machine, and saw Su Mo inside.

She showed a thoughtful expression, then walked to the second-floor observation deck and quietly stared at Su Mo who was training.

Time passed by.

Soon fifteen minutes passed, and Su Mo was still in the machine.

Then half an hour passed.

Icarus glanced at the time, her eyes moved slightly, and she continued to watch patiently.

Finally, when the timer reached one hour, Su Mo's expression became more and more painful, and he was about to reach his limit, and then he was ejected.

After seeing this result, Icarus turned and left.

After a violent cough, Su Mo gradually recovered, and he glanced at the timer.

1 hour and 03 seconds.

Su Mo couldn't help shaking his head, and he slowly sighed.

"No, I still can't break through."

"Take your time."

Creator·Devourer persuaded.

"I know, let's go back and rest, and fight again tomorrow."

Su Mo replied in a deep voice.

"You really don't want to live, forget about tomorrow, you better take a day off."

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"Be careful that your strength doesn't improve, and you die first. Then you can give away the foundation you've saved up."

Creator·Devourer directly ridiculed.

"Stop, I'll listen to you."

Su Mo's face couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and he replied quickly.

"Hmph."

Creator·Devourer didn't bother to say more.

.......

The day after tomorrow, at five in the morning, Su Mo once again arrived at the training area on time.

Just as Su Mo was about to turn around and go to train, the indicator light in the inner room suddenly dimmed, and the door opened.

Icarus walked out coldly, and directly met Su Mo.

"Lord Icarus."

Su Mo was slightly startled, his heart shrank, and he quickly greeted her. He didn't expect her to be here.

City Lord Icarus nodded slightly, without saying much, and walked straight out.

"Phew~"

Seeing City Lord Icarus leave, Su Mo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Icarus would ask him something, and it would be embarrassing if he didn't answer well.

"Okay, she's gone, hurry up and train, it'll be crowded later."

Creator·Devourer urged.

"Okay!"

Su Mo nodded in response.

.......

Twelve days later, Su Mo was still unwavering, and came to the training area at five o'clock.

The first thing he did when he arrived was to take a look at the inner training room.

Without any accident, the lights in the inner training room were on, which meant that Icarus was training inside.

Su Mo was also a little emotional, he didn't expect Icarus to not only have extremely high talent, but also work harder than others.

Thinking of this, Su Mo was also a little emotional, what qualifications did he have not to work hard.

Not long after, the indicator light dimmed.

Icarus walked out from inside, and Su Mo greeted her politely.

Icarus nodded lightly as a response. She seemed to have gotten used to Su Mo's appearance long ago. The two of them basically met during this time.

After Icarus left.

Su Mo quickly got on the training instrument, not knowing that every time Su Mo entered the training state, Icarus would appear on the second-floor observation deck, watching Su Mo's training.

Without any accident, when the timer jumped to 1 hour and 11 seconds.

Click!

The training instrument stopped working again.

Icarus shook her head slightly and left after seeing this scene.

Su Mo, who was ejected, glanced at the timer for the first time. He was also a little disappointed looking at the numbers on it.

"Still can't break through, is it really the limit?"

At this time, Creator·Devourer said to Su Mo, "Haste makes waste, you might as well listen to the old man, take a break and don't train, go back and rest."

Although Su Mo was not very willing, he really couldn't do anything, so he could only sigh and reply.

"Forget it, forget it, let's go home and rest for a few days, and see if the condition can get better."

........

Late at night, the third-floor office of the Star Ring City Central Administrative Building.

Icarus was sitting alone behind her desk, her hands crossed supporting her chin, her cold eyes looking at the different images projected in front of her.

Looking closely, these images were all battle image data of Mad Eye Rein Holt.

All of the battles, no matter which one, were there.

Icarus's cold eyes revealed an unusual light.

Just then, the office door opened.

Gory entered. She was about to call Icarus, but she saw the image of Mad Eye Rein Holt's battle, and she was slightly surprised.

Icarus also noticed Gory who came in at this time, and she closed the projection image very naturally.

Seeing this, Gory walked in and came to Icarus, and called out softly.

"Sister."

"Yeah, what's the matter?"

Icarus asked lightly.

"Sister, I'm here to say goodbye to you. Tomorrow I'm leaving Star Ring City to go to the front line to supervise resource mining matters."

Gory said to Icarus.

Icarus was silent for a few seconds, then looked up at Gory and said.

"Be careful when you go, although the Eternal Sleeper Clan has been defeated, normally speaking, they shouldn't pose a threat in a short time, but you still have to be careful."

"Sister, don't worry, I'll pay attention."

Gory nodded in response.

"Take Crook with you, I'll be more at ease with him there."

After thinking for a while, Icarus finally decided to let Gory take Crook with her.

Gory's heart was warm when faced with Icarus's concern, and she replied.

"Thank you, sister, but Crook should stay with sister, after all, sister also needs manpower here."

"You don't have to worry about me here. Most of the Royal Knights are staying in Star Ring City, and there are plenty of people. It's settled then."

Icarus was still so strong.

"Okay, that...."

Gory didn't dwell on it too much. At this time, she wanted to ask her sister about watching the images of Mad Eye Rein Holt, but the words stopped at her mouth.

"What's wrong?"

Icarus asked indifferently.

"It's nothing, then I'll go first."

Gory smiled and replied.

"Go."

Icarus nodded slightly in reply.

After Gory left, Icarus didn't sit at her desk, but stood up and walked to the window.

She looked out at the Star Ring City in the night, and a breeze blew by, lifting a strand of her hair.

Whether it was an illusion or something else, Icarus seemed very lonely at this moment.

.......

The next day, early in the morning.

Quiet sunlight shone on the bed.

Su Mo opened his eyes, lazily stretched, and got out of bed.

He walked towards the washroom and washed up nimbly.

Since yesterday, after accepting the reality that he couldn't break through in a short time, Su Mo felt that the pressure was not so great.

Just then, Su Mo's wristband vibrated.

Buzzing.

A message popped up.

Su Mo, who was brushing his teeth, glanced at it casually, but was immediately startled.

"Cough cough!"

"What are you doing? So reckless."

Creator·Devourer replied in a low voice.

"No, Icarus sent me a message alone."

After Su Mo replied to Creator·Devourer, he quickly put down his toothbrush and clicked on the message.

"Come to my office."

The content of the message was very short, but there was no room for negotiation.

After reading the message, Su Mo quickly tidied up in a hurry and ran out.

......

A moment later, Su Mo came to the waiting area on the third floor of the Star Ring City Central Administrative Building.

The entire waiting area was quiet, and there was no one but the guards.

Su Mo took a few deep breaths, adjusted his mentality, and walked inside. Soon he came to the door of Icarus's office.

The door was open.

The two giants guarding the door gestured for Su Mo to enter.

Su Mo braced himself and walked in. The door behind him closed the moment he stepped into the door.

The unexpected thing was that Icarus was not in the office.

Su Mo was also a little confused, so he stood in front of the desk and waited quietly.

While waiting, Su Mo inadvertently scanned the bookshelf behind Icarus's desk and was slightly startled. He immediately said to Creator·Devourer.

"Little Devourer, look at the bottom of the bookshelf, there seem to be several stone slabs over there."

After hearing Su Mo's words, Creator·Devourer immediately looked over, and suddenly it said in a slightly unstable tone.

"It's the God Creation Stone Slab."

"Is it the one the old man is looking for? Is there a mark?"

Su Mo asked quickly.

"Although the glass on the bookcase has a shielding effect, you can see the mark by observing carefully. Although I can't be 100% sure that it's the one the old man is looking for, there's at least a 70% chance."

Creator·Devourer replied confidently.

"That's a big problem. The stone slab the old man wants is in City Lord Icarus's hands. What should we do? We can't just ask for it, can we?"

"Ask for it? You're really bold. Do you dare to open your mouth? Be careful, she'll kill you in a fit of rage."

"What should we do then? Should we find a chance to steal it?"

Su Mo replied with a headache.

"Steal it? You wouldn't come up with this idea without ten years of cerebral hemorrhage. Don't think that it's easy to enter City Lord Icarus's office. That's because you have a legitimate identity and came in openly. If you dare to break in, I'll definitely let you lie down on the spot."

Creator·Devourer replied with great fear.

"This....."

Su Mo also had a headache.

"Let's not talk about these, stand up straight!"

Creator·Devourer suddenly reminded Su Mo.

Su Mo quickly stood up straight, his expression tense.

At this time, the office door opened again, and Icarus walked in expressionlessly. She walked behind the desk and sat down, gazing calmly at Su Mo.

Su Mo felt a little uneasy being watched, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.

"Could it be that I've been seen through?"

Suddenly Icarus asked, "Are you married?"

"Uh, no."

Su Mo's mind was suddenly struck by lightning, and he was dumbfounded by City Lord Icarus's question. What was she asking about marriage for? Could it be that Star Ring City also provides matchmaking services?

That's a bit exaggerated, isn't it?

Icarus said lightly, "Very good. There's only one thing I've asked you to come here for today, and that is that from today onwards, Klee Shia is your girlfriend."

Su Mo was thunderstruck when he heard Icarus's words. After he reacted, he immediately replied.

"Lord Icarus, listen to me, although I'm not married yet, I actually have a fiancée, and our relationship is very good! It's just that we haven't gotten married yet."

"I know, but it doesn't matter! I'm just asking you to nominally have a lover status with Klee Shia. As long as you announce it to the outside world, in this era, the matter of lovers is too common."

Although Icarus's tone was very calm, she didn't give Su Mo a chance to refuse at all.

Su Mo couldn't help but smile bitterly. Seeing that he couldn't refuse, he asked.

"Lord City Lord Icarus, can you tell me why you're doing this?"

"I want you to maintain a close relationship with Klee Shia, so as to enter the sight of the Immortal Empire, and let them get used to and accept you. It may come in handy one day in the future. As for other things, you don't need to ask more questions. You will naturally know when you should know."

A gleam flashed in Icarus's eyes, and she said in a calm tone.

"Understood."

Su Mo swallowed and reluctantly agreed.

"There's one more thing."

Icarus suddenly changed the subject.

Su Mo's nerves tensed when he heard this. Was there anything else?

Icarus said to Su Mo, "Humans are very strange creatures. Sometimes they are extremely fragile, and sometimes they are extremely resilient. The biggest difference lies in potential. And potential is often determined by willpower. Why do people often break through at the critical moment of life and death? A big reason is this."

Su Mo was slightly stunned. He didn't react for a while. Was Icarus giving him guidance?

Then Icarus continued, "In fact, what often defeats a defense line is not the body but the spirit. You should have this feeling when you train, right?"

Su Mo's expression changed, and he immediately replied.

"Yes, those mental pollutions are like scraping steel knives, repeatedly scraping on the nerves, and finally collapsing."

"You have to strengthen your beliefs and become the master of your own consciousness. Only absolute beliefs can make you strong and exempt you from everything...."

Icarus sparingly guided Su Mo.

Su Mo stood stiffly in place, pondering as he listened to Icarus's teachings.

After a long time, Su Mo came back to his senses and seemed to understand a little bit.

At this time, he found that Icarus was watching him, and he said quickly.

"Sorry! Lord Icarus, I was a little distracted."

"It's okay, you can go."

Icarus gave the order to leave.

"Yes!"

Su Mo then exited the office.
