After the registration, Ye Mo obtained a participation card. On the card, the number 11,800 was carved.
“This registration is a scam. They charged me 5,000 Mixed Energy Pills,” Ye Mo grumbled before he put the card into his Dimensional Bracelet.
“So you turn out to be quite rich. 5,000 Mixed Energy Pills is not a price an ordinary person could afford to pay. I am quite curious as to why you are being hunted by the royal family of Tianwu Kingdom. Perhaps…you raped their princess? Or perhaps you slept with a concubine of the Tianwu Emperor?” Zi Yi fixed her eyes on Ye Mo, seemingly trying to find an answer from his face.
“You’re a prophet. You got everything right,” Ye Mo replied. Zi Yi was guessing randomly, but her guess was quite accurate.
“Fine, forget it if you are not willing to tell me. It’s not like I’m very interested in you. After the autumn examination, you will return to where you came from while I will be heading to the Door of Desolation,” said Zi Yi as she waved a hand indifferently before making her confident declaration.
This Zi Yi is filled with confidence. This is not feigned confidence, but rather it is one that comes naturally. I can’t even begin to guess her actual cultivation level. Perhaps she is in the Heaven’s Strength Realm or even higher. Can a mid-level kingdom cultivate a genius this powerful? Ye Mo was slightly shocked as he looked at Zi Yi.
As they chatted, they arrived at Luosha Academy. The entrance of the academy looked like the head of a ghost that was opening its malevolent mouth wide. The gate was about 30 meters tall and on it, the name Luosha Academy was carved. Guarding the gate were several students dressed in purple.
“We are the warriors here for the autumn examination, and we would like to visit the Luosha Academy,” said Zi Yi as she showed her participation card. Ye Mo did the same and waved the card in his hand.
“So you are participants here to visit our academy. This beauty can enter. As for you, don’t bother,” said one of the students.
“Is that so?” Zi Yi seemed to have seen that coming. She waved at Ye Mo. “I’ll go ahead then. Don’t make me wait too long.” Zi Yi entered directly but did not go far. She stood to the side and started looking at Ye Mo.
Ever since Ye Mo had fully absorbed the energy in the Luosha Blood Pool, he had attracted her attention. She had asked Ye Mo to join her here just so she could see exactly what level Ye Mo was at.
“Stop right there!” The student shouted at Ye Mo and said, “The beauty was allowed to enter because she is qualified to enter. You are a mere mid-stage True Energy Realm warrior. You do not qualify to enter.”
“Oh? Is that so? How does one go around qualifying to enter your academy?” Ye Mo asked, his face somewhat gloomy.
“Too many participants wish to visit our academy. Do you think this is a theme park where everyone is allowed entry? Only those at Heaven’s Gate Realm and above can enter. This is a rule set by the crown prince, His Highness Luo Hun,” said the student.
When Ye Mo heard that, he frowned and took 1,000 Mixed Energy Pills from his Dimensional Bracelet. He handed them over and said, “There are 1,000 Mixed Energy Pills here. I hope you can allow me entry. I am merely curious about the renowned Luosha Academy.”
“Oh?” The student quickly took the bag of Mixed Energy Pills and after confirming the number of pills, he still did not seem to allow Ye Mo entry. “You are quite tactful, but there are six of us here. You only gave us 1,000 Mixed Energy Pills. How are we supposed to split that? How about this; give us 5,000 Mixed Energy Pills and we will allow you entry.”
“You are pushing it.” Ye Mo was furious. Although he knew that Mixed Energy Pills were not as valuable in the Luosha Kingdom, for a student, this was still a huge amount.
“Pushing it? We are here on the crown prince’s orders. With the autumn examination near, many random people are trying to visit our academy. We are naturally willing to allow the geniuses entry, but as for a random normal person, it is better for that person to pi*s off.” The students roared with laughter. “Haha, p*ss off.”
“P*ss off?” Ye Mo frowned and glanced at the six people around him before saying coldly, “Since you claim that only those at Heaven’s Gate Realm can enter, if I can defeat all six of you that are at late-stage True Energy Realm, will I be allowed entry?”
“Hahaha!” The student roared with laughter. “What do you think we are? Considering that you have given me 1,000 Mixed Energy Pills, I will give you a chance. If you can survive three moves from me, I will allow you entry, giving you the chance to witness the greatness of the Luosha Academy’s geniuses. After entering, you will know that those tiny sects or tribes are nothing to our academy.”
The Luosha Academy was the sole academy in the Luosha Kingdom, and within were countless geniuses. Even the three great leagues of Tianwu Kingdom were nothing compared to the Luosha Academy. As for the geniuses of the Luosha Academy, they existed high up on the pedestal, looking down on every one of their generation.
“Three moves?” Ye Mo sneered, “I’m afraid you won’t even have the chance to move.” The moment Ye Mo said that he felt a large pressure nearing him as a tornado appeared and started heading towards him.
Hu! Hu! Hu!
The wind grew berserk. With a single move, the opponent fully displayed the strength of a late-stage True Energy Realm warrior. The large tornado was sufficient to uproot even a large tree before crushing it into nothingness.
If a normal mid-stage True Energy Realm was hit by this attack, even his energy armor would be directly destroyed while his body was torn apart in the tornado.
“Hmph. You are quite ruthless. Alas, it is useless against me.” Killing intent appeared in Ye Mo’s eyes as he punched out. His fist reached out like a raging dragon, instantly destroying the tornado. Before the terrifying fist even reached the student, the wind from the punch brushed past the student and sent him flying.
The other students were startled at first when they saw that. Next, they immediately moved and rained their palms down on Ye Mo.
“Hmph!” Ye Mo sneered and grabbed out with one hand. Immediately, all five late-stage True Energy Realm students were grabbed in the air. With a wave, all five of them were tossed far away before blood spurted everywhere.
“How is that possible? How can a mid-stage True Energy Realm be so strong? I can’t even survive one attack from him?” said the first student with shock filling his face.
“So I am now qualified to enter your academy, right?” Ye Mo ignored them and took wide strides into the academy. Looking at Zi Yi who was standing to the side, he said indifferently, “You don’t need to do that even if you want to see my strength.”
“You are unexpectedly strong, more so than I expected. ” Zi Yi had a straight face and pretended she did not understand what he was saying. “By the way, do you know that Luo Hun guy?”
“No. But from what that student said, he must be a powerful individual. And that student called him crown prince. Perhaps he’s the son of Luosha’s Emperor?” Ye Mo said as he shook his head.
Zi Yi said, “The Luosha Emperor does not have a son. This Luo Hun is his adopted son and is a genius that holds great power in the Luosha Academy. It is said that he is ranked first in the Expert Ranking of Luosha Academy. And the popular candidates to obtain the Luosha Tokens this year are the top three on the Expert Rankings.”
“How come you know everything?” Ye Mo asked in astonishment.
“Don’t you know? I’m great at information gathering. So long as you are willing to spend, you will be able to get any information you want,” said Zi Yi with disdain.
“Is that so? Why did you still want me to come here, then?” Ye Mo asked with a smile.
“Who is so brave that they can beat the students of our Luosha Academy?” suddenly, a shout roared. A heroic-looking man walked over, six students in tow behind him.
The man was at the late-stage of Heaven’s Gate Realm. Looking at how deferential the six were towards him, it was clear he was quite a popular individual within the academy.
“Ye Mo, I did that because I was curious about your true strength. Don’t worry. Since I am the reason for this trouble, I will deal with it for you.” Zi Yi stood before Ye Mo and said, “It’s me. So what?”
