The person in charge of the registration was at first stunned. He then looked at Ye Mo. One of the league members there immediately recalled that this person was the new star that had defeated an Elite League member of Wushuang League a few days ago.
“You are Ye Mo? The Ye Mo who had defeated an Elite League member of Wushuang League a few days ago?”
The person in charge was a league member of about 20-years old. His skin was of the darker tone, and his cultivation level was rather high as he had reached Energy Shaping Sixth Realm.
“Yes. I am interested in taking part in the selection to become an honorary sealing artist,” Ye Mo answered with a nod.
“You’re a sealing artist as well?”
Most warriors who had high cultivation realms would not be a sealing artist. After all, training their sealing skills was time consuming. That would cause them to spend less time on cultivation.
“Of course. If I’m not a sealing artist, I wouldn’t have registered. Please write my name down and tell me the time and rules of the selection process,” Ye Mo said with a smile, ignoring the person in charge’s astonishment.
“The selection process will be held in three days at the headquarters of Xuan Ji Sub-league. As for the rules, naturally, the selection will be a competition of sealing techniques. Lord Xuan Ji will personally take part in the evaluation process. If you are certain that you want to sign up for this, I can put your information onto the list. But if it turns out you are not even a first order sealing artist during the selection, Lord Xuan Ji won’t be happy,” said the person in charge while reading out from a document.
Xuan Ji Sub-league would not recruit a sealing artist below the second order. If someone who was not even a first order sealing artist was to join the selection process, that would be no different than wasting their time.
“I am sure.”
Right after Ye Mo answered, a group of people approached from behind. They were members of the Ling Xuan Sub-league. Li Tianhe was also among them. However, he was pretending to not know Ye Mo.
“Isn’t this a genius of Inner League, Ye Mo? Why are you registering to take part in the sealing artist selection of Xuan Ji Sub-league? The honorary sealing artist of Xuan Ji Sub-league is not so easy to get. If you join us Ling Xuan Sub-league instead, we will appoint you as an honorary martial master,” said an Energy Shaping Ninth Realm who was leading the group. He had short hair and little eyes. Wearing a purple outfit, a smile hung on his face. This was Qiu Linshan, occupying the fourth place of the Qingyun Ranking.
“Honorary martial master? Qiu Linshan, your Ling Xuan Sub-league is very generous, huh? Jin Xiu Sub-league is definitely not capable of giving out such generous treatment.” A different group of people arrived. From their looks, they were part of Jin Xiu Sub-league. The leader of this group only had one arm, yet when the Jin Xiu Sub-league members looked at him, a hint of fear could be seen on their faces. This was The One Armed Xue Qing, an Elite League member, ranked third on Qingyun Ranking.
“Tsk tsk, after defeating Yun Feng, the two major sub-leagues had even sent the experts of the Qingyun Ranking out to recruit him. How enviable.” The league members in the surrounding started lamenting when they saw this.
“Xue Qing, Ye Mo has potent talent. If he joined our Ling Xuan Sub-league, he will be one of the experts on the Qingyun Ranking in a few years. Giving him such generous treatment is worth it.” While he spoke, Qiu Linshan took out a badge of Ling Xuan Sub-league and passed it to Ye Mo. This was the third time Ling Xuan Sub-league had tried recruiting him. This time, they had an expert ranked fourth in the Qingyun Ranking to invite him.
“Oh, yes. That’s quite a generous treatment. However, with the clan behind Ye Mo, I doubt he lacks any cultivation resources. League Chief Xiao Jin had personally said that if Ye Mo is willing to join us at Jin Xiu Sub-league, he will be made one of the candidates to be the next League Chief.” He was not in any rush and spoke slowly even after seeing Qiu Linshan taking out the badge. A warrior from a big clan would never lack cultivation resources. The only thing they lacked were opportunities. Being a league chief candidate was sufficient to drive many warriors mad. Xue Qing was certain that not a single warrior could resist this temptation.
“Xue Qing, how treacherous of you to offer the position of league chief candidate. Do you think that I don’t know about how you guys had offered a league chief candidate position when trying to recruit a genius last year? Didn’t you guys eventually given up on him as well?” Qiu Linshan said indifferently.
“Hmph. That was because he had used too many treasures to push his cultivation realm up when he first started cultivating. That was how he had become stronger than other league members and ended up getting kicked out of the way after failing to keep up during the latter stages of his cultivation. I doubt Ye Mo is a person like that.”
The two experts of the Qingyun Ranking kept bickering with none of them wanting to back down.
Suddenly, a cold voice filled with disdain sounded. “Is a league member worth you two bickering over him like that? Our Xuan Ji Sub-league had never care much about him.”
Everyone looked over and saw a youth walking over. He was a man of about 20-years old. He was dressed in a white outfit, and undisguised contempt was on his face. He appeared extremely haughty. However, he indeed had the qualification to be haughty. After all, he was Dongfang Ao, a member of the Xuan Ji Sub-league, also ranked second in the Qingyun Ranking.
“Dongfang Ao, your Xuan Ji Sub-league doesn’t care about Ye Mo because you have Ye Changsheng with you. To compete against your Xuan Ji Sub-league, of course we need to recruit a couple genius league members of our own,” Qiu Linshan replied.
“Hehe, I have heard about how your two sub-leagues have tried to recruit Ye Mo several times already. Not only did he not join you guys, he had even come to us, trying to take part in our honorary sealing artist selection.” Dongfang Ao crossed his arms and sneered.
Ye Mo clasped his hands and greeted both Qiu Linshan and Xue Qing before saying, “I thank you fellow seniors for your kind invitations. I had not rejected you because I look down on your sub-leagues. Rather, I am aiming for the vacant Chief Elect position that the Xuan Ji Sub-league has. I am joining Xuan Ji Sub-league to fight over that.”
“Hmph, what do you think you are? You think you are qualified to fight over the Chief Elect position? Don’t think that you are so high and mighty just because you had defeated that trash Yun Feng. If you want to be a chief elect, you need to reach the True Origin Realm,” Dongfang Ao said in disdain while looking at Ye Mo coldly.
Even he was not qualified to fight for the Chief Elect position. A puny Energy Shaping Third Realm like this actually dared to think about that? To become the Chief Elect, one needed to reach the True Energy Realm before 20-years old.
If Ye Mo wanted to fight over the sole vacant chief elect left, he had to reach True Energy Realm within half a year. This was an impossible task. In any case, Xuan Ji had already reserved the position for Ye Changsheng. Even if Ye Mo truly joined the Xuan Ji Sub-league, it would be no different than inviting disgrace onto himself.
Even Qiu Linshan and Xue Qing were astonished when they heard Ye Mo. He was indeed ambitious as he actually wanted to fight over the chief elect position.
“There’s still half a year left. Nothing is impossible unless you have a way of stopping me from joining Xuan Ji Sub-league. But looking at how you guys are acting now, I reckon you guys are in need of a sealing artist. It just turns out that I also know how to refine a couple of seals,” Ye Mo replied indifferently.
“What a brazen kid. So what if you know how to refine some seals? You are only there to fill up the numbers. To become the honorary sealing artist of Xuan Ji Sub-league, sharp tongue alone is not enough. Real skill in sealing techniques is required.”
