Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It was late in the evening. The autumn wind brushed past, making the vegetation rustle about and giving the Qingyun League a rather desolate look.
But the atmosphere within the Qingyun League was filled with excitent. Tomorrow, the league war, held once every four years, would start.
Each of the three major leagues would send their outstanding talents out, while the kingdom sent three champions to participate as well. In total, 12 of the most talented individuals of the kingdom would participate in the league war.
Tomorrow, a huge battle would erupt. Even the emperor and the empress would attend personally to watch the competition. All the important individuals of the kingdom would attend as well.
Ye Mo had ultimately decided to let the Sky Blood Spear’s weapon spirit devour the Daomark Gloves’ weapon spirit to reach the level of Bejeweled Weapon.
When he left the Firecloud Pavilion, Ye Mo felt sothing strange in the atmosphere.
Above him, he could see rays of light streaking across the sky, so alone, others in groups. Looking at the figures streaking across the sky, Ye Mo knew that they were mbers of the other leagues, people from the major clans and officials of the kingdom.
Many of the elder league mbers appeared to welco the guests. Looking at the arriving figures, Ye Mo’s eyes lit up, and an intense desire for battle rose within his heart.
“Father, I will surpass you,” Ye Mo said. “I’ll beco the number one genius of the kingdom.”
“Father, I don’t want anything.”
“I just want you to stand on your legs again.”
“So what if we are bullied by Ye Tian and the others?”
“Number one genius in the kingdom? I don’t care about that.”
Ye Mo recalled scenes from his childhood, and a resolute expression settled on his face. Tomorrow, he could finally prove his strength. He could prove it to Cao Zheng, to Xiao Cao, to Qi Ying, to his deceased father, and to himself.
The fruits of his long path of cultivation would be revealed during the league war. Ye Mo slowly walked towards Xuan Ji Sub-League. Shortly after, three familiar figures appeared and walked towards him.
One of them was dressed in purple, two weapons hanging on his back, one sword and one spear. The other was dressed in black, a black sword hanging on his back. The third person was a woman, dressed in golden palace outfit with a golden sword hanging by her side. They were respectively Cao Zheng, Chu Ge, and Li ngli.
When Cao Zheng saw Ye Mo, he blinked. Then, he smiled disdainfully and said, “Quite a surprise that a person like you could manage a coback. In half a year, you’ve made it to the True Energy Realm. Looks like the pressure I put you under turned into a motivation for improvent, helping you beco a mber of Xuan Ji Sub-League. How are you going to thank for that?”
“Thank you?” Ye Mo sneered and continued, “Cao Zheng, stop being cocky. I’ll repay the humiliation you gave in the league war.”
“Haha, interesting.” Cao Zheng said. “I’ll personally cripple your cultivation in the league war. Then, I will bring you to the Cao Residence. When I officially take Xiao Cao as my wife, you can beco her slave.” He roared with laughter.
“Cao Zheng, what did you say?” Li ngli frowned, anger in her voice as she continued, “You’re going to make him your slave?”
“Oh? ngli, what of it? You know this person?” Cao Zheng asked in astonishnt.
“Of course I don’t know him. But you have to take back what you said. I don’t like those words,” Li ngli’s expression shifted and said.
Ye Mo had received her acknowledgnt. She was naturally unhappy to hear those words.
“ngli, I was too coarse,” Cao Zheng said apologetically. After tossing Ye Mo a smug glance, he turned and left.
Li ngli winked at Ye Mo before leaving as well.
“They’re probably the candidates of the kingdom,” Ye Mo muttered. Then, he sensed an incorporeal True Energy Power locking onto him.
“Hmph!” Ye Mo snorted and unleashed his Glorious Sun Power to jolt the True Energy Power away from him.
“Surprisingly that Cao Zheng’s reached the level where his soul can roam around. No wonder he’s so arrogant,” Ling’er said with a pout.
After returning to his cultivation area, Ye Mo continued working on his cultivation, stabilizing his cultivation level of early-stage True Energy Realm.
When the light of dawn arrived, the sky slowly brightened. The entire Qingyun League was filled with excitent. Both the regular mbers and those visiting to participate in the competition were full of excitent.
Everyone rushed towards the Qingyun Martial Field, with so had already arrived to reserve so of the better seats.
Both the air and ground were filled with people. Crowds stread into the Qingyun Martial Field from all directions. After putting on the uniform of Qingyun League’s chief elect, Ye Mo headed towards Xuan Ji Sub-League.
Xuan Ji had reminded him that before the competition, the chiefs and the chief elects of the three major sub-leagues would gather for a small eting before going to the Qingyun Martial Field together.
When Ye Mo arrived at the Xuan Ji Sub-League, it was already empty of people. And when he entered the eting room, the three chiefs and the other two chief elects were already there, waiting.
The eyes of all five of them lit up when they saw Ye Mo.
“Mo’er, you’re here,” Xuan Ji said. “Co, the league war is starting soon. I have sothing I need to say to the three of you who are participating in it.”
Ye Mo rushed into the room and sat down to listen.
“We don’t know the exact rules of this year’s league war,” Xuan Ji said. “But based on previous years, it will first be a group battle where half the participants will be eliminated. Next will be individual matches, where the top three will be chosen. I’ve already observed all the geniuses that had arrived for the competition. This year, our league is on the weaker side. The kingdom, Wushuang League and Tiandi League have Heaven’s Gate Realm powerhouses in their ranks. So, during the first round, rember to work together. It’d be best if you can get them to kill each other and reap the benefits.”
“What? Heaven’s Gate Realm powerhouses? How are we supposed to compete?” Chen Zhang cried out in astonishnt. He continued, “I heard that during the group battles in the previous years, good teamwork was important. But Heaven’s Gate Realm powerhouses have powerful perception. In group battles, they’d have a greater advantage. Our overall strength is clearly weaker than the other teams.”
“Chen Zhan, are you a chief elect or not?” Lei Xiao asked. “The match hasn’t even started and you’re already disheartened?”
“Brother Lei Xiao is correct,” Ye Mo said. “Though we’re weaker overall, it’s not impossible for us to win.”
“Chen Zhan, do your best,” Xiao Jin said. “This is a Jinxiu Sword. I’ll lend it to you. If Qingyun League can win the competition, this sword will be yours.” He passed the sword hanging on his back to Chen Zhan.
“Haha, Xiao Jin, since you are taking out sothing so precious, how can I sit out?” Shangguang Ling Xuan roared with laughter before spreading his palm. A huge hamr flew into it.
“Lei Xiao, I know you’ve always wanted this hamr,” he said. “You can have it for now, and like Chief Xiao Jin said, if we win this competition, this Thunderfire Warhamr will be yours.”
Ye Mo smiled helplessly when he saw the two Spirit Weapons. It seed like everyone was placing a lot of emphasis on winning this league war.
“Mo’er, I know you’re good with spears,” Xuan Ji said solemnly. “I don’t have any suitable Spirit Weapons for you. I only hope you can take care and be careful.”
“Auntie, your concern is more valuable than any gift.” Ye Mo said. “This ti, I’ll show them that I, Ye Mo, son of Ye Qing, am also an unparalleled genius.”
