“You’re saying the current Sky Blood Spear is the true Sky Blood Spear?” Ye Mo asked Ling’er. She had once battled Sky Blood Lady and was very familiar with the Sky Blood Spear.
“Yes.” Ling’er nodded. “According to what Yun Tianxie said, to upgrade the Sky Blood Spear in the future, you only need to gather weapon spirits for it to consume. But it won’t be easy to wake Sky Blood Spear’s spirit weapon and establish communication with it. Without that, it’s no better than an ordinary weapon.”
Ye Mo returned to his cultivation place with the Sky Blood Spear.
He sat down cross-legged and started preparing to establish communication with the weapon spirit. The finals would be tomorrow. If he could awaken the Sky Blood Spear, he would definitely be able to defeat Cao Zheng.
Ye Mo was already capable of human spear unity. Naturally, communicating with a weapon spirit would come easily for him.
He sent his consciousness into the Sky Blood Spear, into the world of primal chaos within. He saw a beautiful woman hovering in the air. She was dressed in red, her long red hair cascaded down her shoulder. Her eyes were shut, seemingly asleep. She looked exactly the same as the Sky Blood Lady.
“Sky Blood Spear’s spirit weapon?” Ye Mo was shocked. “Why does it look like a human?”
Ye Mo tried to communicate with the weapon spirit, but she ignored him no matter what he tried. Helpless, he eventually had no choice but to withdraw his consciousness.
“Brother Ye Mo, how’s the progress?” Ling’er asked.
“I was completely ignored,” Ye Mo shook his head.
It felt the same as a pervert getting ignored when he tried saying hi to a beautiful woman.
“You’ve been using the thousand-year pure ice to suppress her all this time,” Ling’er said. “She must have gotten angry. Looks like it’ll be hard for you to wake her up.”
“Since I’ve got my Sky Blood Spear, I won’t be needing the Windchasing Sunslayer Spear anymore,” Ye Mo said. With the Sky Blood Spear in hand, he felt certain that he could win the competition.
Even if he ended up failing, he would just return to the dust. So what?
Tomorrow would be the final day of the league war. It was the day everyone had been waiting for.
The next day, before the time for the competition had arrived, the Qingyun Martial Field was already filled with people. Apart from the people from the three leagues, people from the kingdom and the various sects of the kingdom had also arrived.
The crowd was even more excited than they had been the day before. All the elites of the Tianwu Kingdom had gathered in the Qingyun Martial Field. Even the people from organizations that rarely showed any interest in the affairs of the three leagues, like the Divine Sword Society and Tianxiang Society were here.
The castellans of the few powerful cities, like the City of Daughters, were there as well. Castellans of the various cities big and small had arrived from far away, all to bear witness to the battle today.
This level of excitement was unprecedented.
When Ye Mo stepped onto the field with his chief elect uniform and the Sky Blood Spear on his back, the crowd broke into cheers.
Everyone stared at Ye Mo as he was the youngest warrior present apart from the princess.
He was only 16 years old but he was already at the True Energy Realm. He had even defeated Chu Ge, who was a late-stage True Energy Realm warrior and Luo Feng, who was in the Heaven’s Gate Realm.
Word of his achievements spread far and wide, and nearly everyone present knew something about him.
Ye Mo could even see Xiao Yuanshan and Madam Xiao in the crowd. He smiled when he saw them waving at him.
The appearance of a genius like Ye Mo from Limestone City had made Xiao Yuanshan proud.
When Castellan Cai Ling saw Ye Mo from her spot in the VIP seats, she was also shocked. When she met him, Ye Mo was just a kid, not even in the Energy Shaping Realm. His growth had been terrifying.
Soon after, Li Mengli, dressed in white, slowly walked into the Qingyun Martial Field.
Her appearance stirred the crowd up even more. The young warriors of the three leagues and the various sects all saw Li Mengli as the goddess in their hearts.
She was exquisitely beautiful and had great martial talent. She was worthy of being their goddess.
“Commander Cao has arrived!” A loud shout rumbled in the air. The crowd was astonished, wondering who Commander Cao was. He was the powerhouse hosting this year’s league war, the commander of the imperial guards, and one of the top 10 powerhouses of the kingdom.
Next, three people stepped onto the Qingyun Martial Field escorted by about a dozen imperial guards.
It was Cao Zhengchun, Cao Zheng, and Xiao Cao.
Ye Mo’s pupils shrank when he saw Xiao Cao.
“Xiao Cao, what are you doing here?” Ye Mo asked.
“Why can’t I be here?” Xiao Cao asked, expressionless. “I’m here to watch Cao Zheng’s match, to watch him defeat you. I suggest you surrender now and don’t waste everyone’s time.” She followed Cao Zhengchun and walked away.
Cao Zheng remained near the ring, throwing Ye Mo a disdainful smile.
Zhao Huan was the next to arrive, she charged into the Qingyun Martial Field to thunderous applause.
Time passed and just as everyone was about to lose their patience, a loud voice rang in the air.
“The finals of the league war will be starting soon. The four participants, please step forward.”
Ye Mo, Cao Zheng, Li Mengli and Zhao Huan stepped forward.
The viewers breathed heavily.
Finally, the match was about to start!
Cao Zhengchun hovered midair and looked down on the floor. He spread his palms and two items floated out.
One of them was a jade scripture shrouded by a clump of lightning, representing the offered body cultivation martial technique, the Thundergod Armor.
The other item was a transparent bottle with a clump of black gaseous substance within.
“Everyone, these two are the prizes you will be fighting for,” Cao Zhengchun explained. This jade scripture contains the body cultivation martial technique, the Thundergod Armor. It will allow the champion to form the Thundergod Armor, able to resist all attacks, like the reincarnation of a Thunder God. And inside this bottle is the Cosmos Qi. The emperor found the Cosmos Qi during his travels. By refining the Cosmos Qi, any warrior below the Spirit Devour Realm will instantly advance a grade.”
Everyone stared at the two items.
Either one of them was incomparably precious, much more valuable than even a Spirit Weapon.
Ye Mo’s heart throbbed when he saw the two items, especially the gaseous substance in the bottle. His breathing grew heavier.
“Cosmos Qi!” Ye Mo’s eyes burned with excitement.
After winning the Cosmos Qi, he would be able to refine the Cosmos Energy Gathering Diagram, greatly enhancing his future cultivation speed.
Refining the Cosmos Energy Gathering Diagram would be like having a natural Energy Gathering Formation implanted in his body, increasing his cultivation speed by five times.
