Chapter 249: The Battle Begins
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
On the last day before Ye Mo and Yun Feng’s battle, news of the League Leader’s return spread throughout the Qingyun Alliance, and everyone was guessing the outcome of the negotiation.
Soon after, the Qingyun Alliance issued an announcement.
“The death of Inner League Member Song Yang was purely accidental, and as compensation for the Qingyun Alliance’s losses, the Emperor would personally attend the League War that the Qingyun Alliance is hosting this time. The Emperor will also put up the Cosmos Qi as a reward during the League War and hope that all Chief Elects will try their best!”
The League Members of the Qingyun Alliance were all truly excited because they now had the chance to meet the Emperor, Tianwu Kingdom’s ruler, the super powerful fighter who was said to have reached the Transcendence Realm.
Ye Mo read the announcement on the bulletin board, which was stamped with the seal of the Emperor and signed by Tianwu Kingdom’s Fourth Emperor, Li Tianqiong!
“Li Tianqiong?”
Ye Mo looked at the name and was shocked. Wasn’t that the person who passed through the Kingdom of Daughter’s Illusion Formation?
“So Li Tianqiong is actually the Emperor!”
“Cosmos Qi? Brother Ye Mo, if you want to assimilate the Cosmos Energy Gathering Diagram, you’ll need to get your hands on the Cosmos Qi.” Ling’er immediately jumped when she saw the words “Cosmos Qi.” She continued, “The Cosmos Qi is a Qi Energy that’s a hundred-fold more powerful than Yuan Chi, and it can also help you with the assimilation of the Cosmos Energy Gathering Diagram. When that time comes, your training speed will at least be five times faster.”
“Cosmos Qi?” Ye Mo has heard about the League War from a mentor in the Alliance. It was a big battle between the Chief Elect League Members where participants demonstrate the standards of the Prodigy League Members from the three alliances. Important figures from Tianwu Kingdom also attended and observed the competition, so those who were qualified to appear on the stage of the League War truly were the top prodigies of Tianwu Kingdom, the center of everyone’s attention.
Only this time, the Emperor personally would attend in person. It was an opportunity that was not to be missed.
“No matter what, I have to obtain the position of Chief Elect. Both the Jin Xiu League and Ling Xuan League have already chosen their Chief Elect, so my only chance will be at Xuan Ji League. As for tomorrow’s battle, it’ll be a battle for me to make my name known. I’ll have all the League Members of Qingyun Alliance know of me, Ye Mo.”
Ye Mo returned back to his Grotto and started to fortify his current level of training. Since the coming battle wasn’t a trivial matter, he also visited Yun Tianxie and asked for a spear that he could use.
Because the spear’s head and handle don’t fit well together, the Sky Bood Spear would be unable to unleash its full power.
Instead, Ye Mo used a High-Grade Magic Weapon spear that was overlaid with Dragon Power and wrapped within the Purple Flame Spirit Qi. Its power was not to be belittled.
The next day, Ye Mo’s training was interrupted by noise from outside of his grotto where six people were standing, Ling Xue, Li Suifeng, Tong Qian, Yan Shiyu, Zheng Sanmu, Yang Jiaosu!
These six people were all people that Ye Mo had helped and were also Ye Mo’s true best friends.
“Ye Mo, how are your preparations coming along? We’re all here to cheer for you!” said Ling Xue.
“Haha, I’ll let all of you see my true capabilities today.” Ye Mo walked out from his grotto with a smile on his face.
At this moment, Ling Xue, Li Suifeng, and Tong Qian had already reached the Energy Shaping Second Realm while Yan Shiyu had actually reached the Energy Shaping Third Realm under the guidance of Elder Yun Shan. As for Zheng Sanmu and Yang Jiaosu, the two of them had also reached the Energy Shaping First Realm.
“Ye Mo, are you really confident in defeating Yun Feng? It’s said that Yun Feng is an Energy Shaping Seventh Realm warrior, and he’s also a prodigy of the Tiandi Alliance.” Yan Shiyu’s eyes were filled with worry.
“You can all rest assured since when have I, Ye Mo, done anything that I’ve no confidence in?” said Ye Mo.
“That’s right. With young master’s talent and level of training, Yun Feng might not even be a match for him,” said Zheng Sanmu.
“Now, all of you follow me to Qingyun Martial Arts Arena and cheer for me!”
Forty-five minutes into the afternoon, the outer-perimeters of Qing Yun Martial Arts Arena was already crowded with people, bustling and very noisy.
League Members from both the Outer League and Inner League were almost all present. Even the Elite League Members and League Members from the Tiandi Alliance were here to observe the battle.
This battle was a challenge to Qingyun Alliance Inner League Member Ye Mo from Tiandi Alliance Elite League Member Yun Feng. Originally, there was nothing much to see for such a challenge, but Ye Mo had actually accepted the challenge and even announced that he’d defeat Yun Feng.
Today, the audience did not only consist of League Members, but even the Yun Clan’s Family Chief Yun Guxian was also present together with the other Yun Family members.
On Ye Mo’s side, Ling Xue, together with Yan Shiyu and company, Yun Chuchu, and Yun Tianxie were naturally present.
Among the Three Big Sub-Leagues, aside from the League Chiefs and Chief Elects, almost everyone was present; it was much like a gathering of heroes.
On one side of the audience seating, Ye Changsheng and Yan Zhi, along with Yun He and company, couldn’t help but take in a deep breath.
Qingyun Alliance’s Fifth Martial Arts Arena was Qingyun Alliance’s biggest arena, and its audience seating could accommodate up to a few hundred thousand people. Even the League War was held at this Martial Arts Arena, which speaks a lot about its size.
“Hehe, to have actually accepted Yun Feng’s challenge, he’s courting his own death. It’s been such a long time since we’ve had such a big event going on,” said Elder Yun He from the Legal Division.
“He’s just trying to show off and get everyone’s attention.” Ye Changsheng looked at the surroundings, then he raised his brows and said, “I came here to see how much Ye Mo has grown, not to see the results of the competition.”
“Changsheng, the death of my disciple, Song Yang, has nothing to do with the League Members from Tiandi Alliance and Wushuang Alliance. But I recall that Ye Mo had escaped from death at the Skyburn Mountain Range, and since Ye Mo dares to accept Yun Feng’s challenge, it shows that he does have some capabilities, so could the death of my disciple, Song Yang, be the work of Ye Mo? Could we push the death of my disciple, Song Yang, onto Ye Mo?” said Elder Yun He with a peal of sinister laughter and a cold pair of eyes.
Yan Zhi’s brows went up a little, then she laughed and said, “Elder Yun He, remarkable!”
“Remarkable indeed. Now that Xue Xiu is dead, if I pull Li Tianhe over to our side then have Yan Zhi report Ye Mo and push Song Yang’s death onto him, as long as Ye Mo displays the capability of defeating Song Yang, what awaits him is only death,” said Ye Changsheng as he laughed relaxedly.
“Seems like today’s battle has gotten a lot more interesting. Song Yang’s death has even alerted the Emperor, and if the blame is successfully pushed onto Ye Mo, even Old Man Feng will not be able to protect him,” said Yan Zhi as she laughed and stretched.
Today, if Ye Mo loses, Yun Feng will kill him, but if Ye Mo wins, his life will also be lost.
Just as the three were speaking, Ye Mo slowly walked up to the Martial Arts Stage with his spear in his hand.
The Martial Arts Stage wasn’t a ring but is a vast battlefield that stretched over hundreds of miles.
If an ordinary person were to be seated in the audience, they wouldn’t even be able to see Ye Mo clearly. But the League Members were all warriors with some degree of training, so their eyes worked just like they would if they had binoculars.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The moment Ye Mo appeared, almost all the League Members shifted their line of sight down towards Ye Mo, whose figure that seemed slightly thinner.
Ye Mo swept his eyes across the surroundings before he laid eyes on a pretty figure in the audience. It was Yun Chuchu, who looked quite excited.
Today, he fought for her!
