Chapter 84: Vera
After this battle, the doubts and discussions about Xu Mo naturally disappeared.
Previously, due to Xu Mo's humble attitude towards the people at the headquarters of the Mystic God Temple, there were quite a few unfriendly voices. But now, who would question a top talent who had only been in the Mystic God Temple for two years, but had already swept through Willton's Divine Temple and defeated its strongest, Iz?
After this battle, it was foreseeable that in a few more years, Xu Mo was very likely to become one of the figures at the pinnacle of the Mystic God Temple.
Moreover, in the future, he is destined to enter the Skywalker Realm.
Besides, apart from being a true disciple of the Mystic God Temple, he probably apprenticed under one of the Hall Masters.
Afterward, the Mystic God Temple became lively again. It was said that the ten Hall Masters had all arrived at the headquarters, and those Transcendents who had apprenticed under them were all going to visit their teachers.
"Senior Brother Xu Mo." Xu Mo received a call from Lowell, and as soon as he answered, he heard Lowell excitedly shout, "Senior Brother Xu Mo, who is your teacher among the Hall Masters?"
"Teacher?" Xu Mo said, "I haven't apprenticed under anyone."
"You haven't?" Lowell seemed puzzled and said, "That's impossible. Among those who came, quite a few are true disciples of the Mystic God Temple. Some of them, in subsequent trial unlocks, learned the abilities of a certain Hall Master and became their students. This time, many people have gone to see the ten Hall Masters. You didn't?"
Considering Xu Mo's strength and talent, it was impossible for him not to have someone as a teacher.
"I haven't." Xu Mo replied. He had heard such rumors before, and he asked, "Which Hall Master have you apprenticed under?"
"The Hall Master of the Alpha Ao Temple. Ranked highly among the ten Hall Masters, extremely powerful. I saw my teacher in person today." Lowell said.
"That's great." Xu Mo responded with a smile.
"Senior Brother Augustus also went over. I don't know what's going on with you, Senior Brother Xu Mo," Lowell said. "But with your strength, there's no way a Hall Master wouldn't take you under their wing."
"Let's just go with the flow." Xu Mo responded, not too concerned.
"Alright." Lowell nodded. "Also, there are a few other things to discuss. Senior Brother Xu Mo, can we meet up? I was hoping you could guide me in cultivation. I feel I've made some progress."
"Sure." Xu Mo agreed.
When he first met Lowell, this guy was quite proud, full of ambition, and wanted to compete with him.
Now, in front of him, Lowell seemed much more sincere. This change was easy to perceive, probably out of genuine respect, without any pretense. Hence, his demeanor became more straightforward in his presence, and Xu Mo quite liked this kind of character.
After all, Lowell was actually quite young, probably only around twenty-five or six years old. To say he was very mature would obviously be unrealistic.
As for Xu Mo, he had lived two lifetimes and had experiences far more diverse than Lowell's. Just what he had gone through in this life alone was more legendary than many people's entire lives.
The battlefield of Mystic God Temple was a place where many gathered every day.
A battle arena, Lowell's body was sent flying backward, taking several steps to regain his stance.
"Freak," Lowell murmured, looking at Xu Mo on the opposite side and said, "Still the same, can you hold back a little next time?"
The confidence that had just arisen was ruthlessly crushed again.
"Weren't you the one who asked me to go all out?" Xu Mo responded.
Lowell was frustrated and decided not to fight anymore.
The two walked off the actual combat field, and many people looked at them, especially at Xu Mo for a brief moment.
But soon after, they shifted their gaze in another direction ahead.
There, the sound of high heels thudded against the floor, and a tall woman walked in front, attracting many gazes.
"Hmm?"
Lowell looked towards the figure ahead. Female Transcendents were relatively few at the headquarters of the Mystic God Temple. In the realm of cultivation, women were somewhat lacking; after all, cultivation was essentially for 'fighting,' and men were evidently more adept at this.
Thus, although there were strong females, they were noticeably fewer compared to males.
"Wearing high heels, perhaps her mind is off," Lowell said in a low voice, looking at the other person, "But, that figure..."
Xu Mo looked at the silhouette ahead, a cascade of black hair draped over her shoulders, a perfect S-curve, a pert rear, standing nearly one meter seventy plus in height and wearing high heels, perfectly highlighting those legs.
Just looking at the figure, one would feel she was a top beauty.
The sound of high heels suddenly stopped, and the footsteps ceased, the figure halted, making Xu Mo reveal a trace of curiosity. Did she hear it?
After all, the hearing of Transcendents is exceptionally strong, and he could hear many surrounding sounds.
"Don't spout nonsense." Xu Mo told Lowell, although Lowell was just joking casually, gossiping behind backs here at the Mystic God Temple wasn't entirely appropriate.
"What did I say? Isn't that figure nice?" Lowell said, "Don't worry, I won't tell Senior Sister Zero."
Xu Mo ignored him, seeing that the figure ahead was slowly turning around.
Lowell noticed it too and immediately shut his mouth, did she really hear it?
The woman turned around, and an aloof, cold, and stunning face came into view. Her face was sculpted to perfection, with picturesque brows and eyes, her deep and spirited gaze.
She glanced at the two of them briefly, then focused on Lowell.
In an instant, Lowell's expression was particularly remarkable, experiencing multiple changes in just a short moment.
Disbelief, shock, regret, fear.
"Clack, clack..." The sound of high heels echoed, as the woman lifted her steps and walked towards the two of them, immediately drawing the attention of many. They looked at Xu Mo and Lowell, revealing schadenfreude expressions.
Someone was about to suffer.
"Honorable Miss Vera, please believe me, I never intended to offend you." Lowell spoke, his voice trembling slightly, shaking with fear.
Xu Mo showed a hint of surprise, glancing at the aloof and cold woman in front of him.
Clearly, Lowell knew her, and he was very afraid of her now.
What is this woman's identity?
The pace of the high heels quickened, as the woman's body transformed into a shadow moving towards them. Lowell, in a panic, turned and tried to run, shouting loudly, "Senior Brother, save me."
Xu Mo's nerve reflexes were exceedingly fast. Sensing her speed, he instantly moved forward to block her path.
"Bang..."
With a loud noise, Xu Mo hadn't even steadied himself before he was sent flying by a single palm strike. The terrifying force sent him crashing into a group of people, causing chaos.
Meanwhile, Lowell fared worse. The high heels directly struck him, sending him flying. The woman continued forward, stepping on him with her heel, looking down at him.
"So strong." Xu Mo's heart trembled.
This woman, is she a Skywalker, an absolute powerhouse, impossible to be this strong.
"Senior Sister, it was just a joke, not intentional." Xu Mo shouted, the woman glanced at him briefly, then looked down at Lowell. Xu Mo frowned at this sight, feeling she was going too far.
At that moment, it was indeed just a joke, and even if a kick as a punishment sufficed.
"Little Lowell, say it again, is my figure good or not?" The woman looked down at Lowell and spoke. The way she addressed Lowell made Xu Mo a bit taken aback.
Seems like the two are quite familiar with each other.
"Miss Vera, I was wrong." Lowell said miserably, not daring to show any temper.
"Do you want me to talk to your father?" The woman continued.
"......" Lowell's voice trembled, "No."
Only then did the woman lift her foot, then glanced over at Xu Mo and said, "Xu Mo?"
"Yes." Xu Mo nodded, although he had not yet understood her identity. But clearly, Lowell did not mind the woman's "humiliating" actions, so he naturally wouldn't say much either.
The woman didn't say much more, and continued stepping away, the clacking of her heels lingering, while those around only watched her, not daring to comment boldly on her figure like Lowell did.
Obviously, most people here knew this woman.
Xu Mo walked up to Lowell, watching him get up as the woman walked further away. Xu Mo asked, "Who is she?"
Lowell smiled bitterly and said to Xu Mo, "A Great Practitioner from the headquarters of the Mystic God Temple, Skywalker Realm. Her full name is Vera O'Brien."
Vera O'Brien!
They were in the O'Brian Republic.
"The Republic Princess?" Xu Mo asked.
"You could say that, though there's no 'princess' title in the republic," Lowell replied. "I met this cold and aloof Miss Vera as a child and was beaten by her."
Lowell, being the Governor of Chloe Star's son, had interacted with the republic leader's children before, having been beaten by Vera. Unexpectedly, after growing up and arriving at the Mystic God Temple, he got beaten again.
Xu Mo nodded, no wonder Lowell had no temper left. As a child, he was beaten by her, and she was the republic princess, a Skywalker. From any angle, Lowell was utterly suppressed.
The republic princess unexpectedly was also cultivating at the Mystic God Temple, and at such a high level, a Skywalker.
"Right, Brother Xu Mo, I called you out to tell you about this," Lowell said.
Xu Mo looked at him, and Lowell leaned in, lowering his voice, "We've gathered at the Mystic God Temple this time, it's said that we are going somewhere. Not only the Mystic God Temple, but the republic will also send a lot of Transcendents, including the Republic Leader's son. We might have tasks to accomplish."
Xu Mo showed a hint of intrigue. Up to now, the Mystic God Temple still hadn't explained the purpose of summoning top-tier Skywalker Transcendents here. The information Lowell received could be true.
"If the news is true, I believe there will soon be results," Lowell continued. "Additionally, I've heard about some bad rumors about you, not only spread by outsiders but also involving people from our Chloe Star Mystic God Temple. It may even be the source."
Xu Mo frowned; did he offend someone?
