“Brat, what did you say?”
Though he was caught off guard by the aura that Ye Mo displayed, The Man fighter was still not impressed – he was the elite talent of the Eastern region with a top tier Mortal Gate and an outstanding amount of power.
“I may have underestimated you, but that is all you are. Don’t assume that I only have the power of an Energy Shaping First Realm fighter – my power is comparable to that in the Energy Shaping Second Realm. My power levels are a tier above. You appear to be talented as well so I shall give you one last word of advice – hand over the union passes.”
“You may be able to elevate a tier, but I can advance a realm!”
Ye Mo laughed coldly with a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes. With a tremble of his body, his joints, bones and muscles all expanded, the Giant Dragon Power’s continuous roars echoing throughout the forest, devastating all the bird creatures in it.
Fwoosh.
The Sky Blood Spear on his back had already appeared in his hand as he stabbed at Man Han.
The Man fighter was taken by surprise, as a look of shock could be seen on his face. He obviously did not expect Ye Mo to initiate the attack. As he felt the freezing aura of the long spear, it was almost as if his blood inside his body was about to freeze too.
Damn!
A beam of grey energy was released from Man Han’s surrounding and gathered around his giant hammer, causing the whole hammer to be enshrouded into a Giant Energy Hammer. Filled with humming power, the hammer swung towards the Sky Blood Spear.
The huge amount of power forced Ye Mo backwards momentarily as a violent beam of internal power invaded his body and veins, and even the protective layer of his Energy Center, targeting to damage it.
Ye Mo was taken by a huge surprise. This man indeed had the right to be this wild and arrogant. This wave of power was extremely devastating.
“Hehe, kid, take this – Stone-Shattering Sky Doom!”
The Man fighter grabbed and lifted the giant hammer as it expanded 10 times in size. The amount of energy that was unleashed by the Energy Hammer was akin to Thor wielding his hammer, threatening to create a hole in the sky.
“Stone-Shattering Sky Doom? Only poor quality stones.”
Ye Mo smiled coldly as he transferred the violent Giant Dragon Power inside his left arm and leg to his right side. 38 rays of Giant Dragon Power gathered at the entrance of his right hand, creating a violent explosion.
Boom!
The Sky Blood Spear stabbed through once again, its million-year frost spearhead releasing a devastating chill as it attacked the Energy Hammer.
The Man fighter completely did not expect Ye Mo’s attack to increase in power again. It was too late for his to retract his attack. As the Energy Stone Hammer dropped, a violent gust of wind kicked up and toppled all the huge trees surrounding the area; such was the devastating effect of the attack.
Bam!
The two finally connected, and with an explosive noise, all the tall trees in the surrounding were sent flying. Ye Mo remained unmoved, but the Man fighter was forced to take a few steps back as a look of utter shock could be seen on his face.
Naturally, Ye Mo was not going to give his opponent a chance to counter his attack. He stabbed multiple times at the Man fighter as hundreds of rays of ice-blue blades hit him like bullets.
“Hmph!”
The Man fighter was, after all, an outstanding talent. He had never been battered like this before. With his face showing a momentary struggle, his Energy Center surged as he awakened and released his Earth-element energy. Through energy shaping, an indestructible stone wall was formed in front of him.
“Die!”
With a loud war cry, Ye Mo smashed through the stone wall, stabbing directly into Man Han’s chest.
Clunk!
However, the ice blue spearhead could not go through beyond Man Han’s chest. Ye Mo could barely see a beam of shapeless energy glowing on the surface of the Man fighter’s body. Still, the Man fighter was sent flying backwards, his body forming a thirty feet long mark across the ground as it dragged along the dirt.
“A defensive treasure item?”
Ye Mo was extremely surprised. This million-year aged frost weapon might not be the level of a Spirit Weapon, but it was far better than a Magic Weapon, and still, it could not break through Man Han’s defence.
The Man fighter quickly got to his feet with a shocked look on his face. He said, “Kid, you are strong. I do not kill the nameless. Tell me your name.”
“Western region, Limestone City, Ye Mo,” Ye Mo said calmly.
“Who would’ve thought that such a weak region like the West would have talent like you? Bravo, bravo indeed!” As the Man fighter spoke, he got ready to act, only to be stopped by a stern voice.
“Hu Batian, are you done playing around? We have to enter the Qingyun League as soon as possible. The first three trainees to enter the league will have plenty of rewards that are rare even among family clans.”
Hearing the voice from afar, Hu Batian flashed 10 union passes in his hand and threw them towards Ye Mo before disappearing into the forest.
“Haha, Ye Mo, I admit that I lost this battle. However, once we enter the Qingyun League, let’s spar again!”
Ye Mo received the union passes as he thought to himself, “Hu Batian of the Hu Clan... don’t tell me that that is the Hu Clan, the ancient martial family clan from the Ancient Martial City of the North?”
Tianwu Kingdom was split into four main regions – Tianyong City of the East, City of Daughters from the South, and the Ancient Martial City from the West forming the three strongest city regions in the kingdom.
The City of Daughters never participated in affairs outside of its city, and the three main leagues did not recruit members from there either. It was a city of great reputation but low profile.
The Ancient Martial City and Tianyong City were extremely impressive. Tianyong City, as the capital of the Kingdom with the palace and the Emperor living there, was naturally going to be a city of strength and power. The Ancient Martial City was the place where the ancient martial families first established and passed down their techniques through each generation. With such a strong foundation, it was an extremely strong city as well.
“Looks like my future days in the Qingyun League will not be too peaceful!”
Ye Mo checked the 10 union passes. He was lucky that he had managed to collect three sets of Qingyun League passes. Without hesitating, he climbed up the tree again.
“Fighting with that Hu Batian was not satisfying enough. The Sky Blood Spear has yet to be awakened. Once it does, even that defensive treasure item that he used would not be able to block my attack. I shall look for some stronger monsters now. I need to experience some major life-or-death battles in order to solidify my strength in the Spirit Cultivating Realm and let it peak. I must be prepared at all times to make the breakthrough into the Energy Shaping Realm.”
Once again, Ye Mo ventured into the forest. While others were stealing union passes from each other, Ye Mo wanted to take this opportunity to do some further training.
“Those are tens of Long Armed Ape Monkeys carrying the smell of blood!”
It was another open space in the forest, where more than 10 long armed giant ape monkeys with nail-like hair could be seen with human corpses in their hands, which they were tearing apart and eating.
These humans were evidently participants in the league entry test who had been surrounded and viciously attacked by the Long Armed Ape Monkeys.
These monkeys were in the Energy Shaping Second Realm and were creatures of great intelligence. They normally operated in groups, attacking enemies together as well. They had a whole body covered in nail-like fur that was nearly impenetrable.
Furthermore, there was a king among these monkeys who was of an even higher strength level!
Even Energy Shaping Second Realm fighters would run for their lives when met with this group of monkeys.
“I shall use these Long Armed Ape Monkeys to train. The ruthlessness of the Sky Blood Spear has been restrained for so long. It is time to unleash it!”
