Chapter 585: Do You Dare To Accept?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The mighty saber whistled through the air.
It was a slash that had surpassed the limit of what a saber technique was capable of. It was a perfect attack formed from the fusion of a person and his Transcendence Weapon. Nobody could hope to survive such an attack.
The blade shone brightly, filling the ring with a dazzling radiance.
“You have been attacking all the while. It’s about time I attack instead.”
Ye Mo knew that it would be no fun to take this attack head-on. He immediately drew his Sky Blood Spear from his back. The instant he removed the sheath, the sky darkened. He stabbed the spear, his Will of Six Daos Reincarnation combined with his Fivefold Spearlight to form a spear light. The spear light’s radiance spread everywhere while numerous cracks started forming on the surface of the massive Transcendence Saber.
The Transcendence Saber finally shattered, and Ding Badao was sent flying out of the ring coughing blood.
Whoosh!
The crowd went wild.
Everyone’s mouth was agape in shock as they watched the fight unfold. They’d originally expected that Ding Badao would win with that last attack, yet it turned out Ye Mo hadn’t even shown his true strength after all.
At this moment, they were doubting whether Ding Badao could defeat Ye Mo even at his peak.
The people from the Spirit Sky Residence watched in disbelief. Especially Ding Hao. His face turned dull as if he couldn’t believe what he was seeing. His genius elder brother, the undefeated idol he revered so much, had been defeated.
“This Ye Mo sure is good at hiding his strength.” The Ximen Clan leader shook his head helplessly. With the strength Ye Mo had shown, the last participant from the Ximen Clan wouldn’t stand a chance. Only the Spirit Sky Residence might be able to threaten Ye Mo. But, then again, with Ding Badao’s defeat, could their other participant defeat Ye Mo?
“That Ye Mo is way too calm.” Fort Master Xia was shocked. “If he joined the Bamboo Forest Fort, we would grow much stronger.”
After defeating Ding Badao, Ye Mo stood in the ring and spoke, “Ximen Clan and Spirit Sky Residence, both of you have one participant each that has yet to fight. If none of you are going to come up, I believe this match has come to an end.”
“Ximen Hushuo, let’s go together,” Ding Honghu, the Spirit Sky Residence’s other participant, said. “We might stand a chance working together.”
Ximen Hushuo nodded in agreement. “If we don’t work together, defeat is certain. We still have a chance.”
The two jumped into the ring together. They wielded high-grade Spirit Weapons with their left hands and a seal in their right.
When a warrior fought with seals, the warrior’s combat prowess would increase.
But regular seals wouldn’t be very useful against Ye Mo. After all, Ye Mo’s Caged Dragon Power was very powerful.
With Ye Mo’s current strength, he could defeat Transcendence Fourth Realm experts. Seals below fourth-order fourth-tier would be rather useless against him.
Everyone thought that Ye Mo’s victory would mark the end of the match, but, surprisingly, Ximen Hushuo and Ding Honghu decided to join together and give it one last try.
Both of them were Transcendence Third Realm experts. If they worked together well, they might stand a chance to defeat Ye Mo.
“What are you two doing coming together? One of you should leave.”
“What? One should leave?”
Ye Mo gazed at the two and spoke indifferently, “As per the rules, only one-on-one fights are allowed, not two-on-one. I, unlike a certain arrogant fool, don’t think I can challenge everyone.”
After Ye Mo spoke, Ding Badao coughed a mouthful of blood on the sidelines. He said, “Ye Mo, don’t get too cocky. At my peak, you might not necessarily be my match.”
“Is that so?” Ye Mo asked with a faint smile.”How about a rematch? Three days from now, let’s fight again, fair and square. Do you accept the challenge?”
“Bring it on! Do you think I’m afraid of you?” Ding Badao agreed furiously. Ye Mo had defeated him in the elimination match. As far as he was concerned, that was an insult. He had full confidence he could kill Ye Mo when he was at full strength.
“Interesting,” the Ximen Clan leader said with a smile. “Truly interesting. Although the Xia Clan is the victor that snatched the two quotas to enter the Heavenly Seal Tower, the true number one genius of the Spirit Seal City has yet to be decided fairly. Since you two have agreed to a rematch, why don’t we bet on the match? What do you think, Estate Master Ding?”
“Haha, Ximen Clan leader is right,” Fort Master Xia said with a smile. “Since they’re going to fight, and since both parties have similar strength, we should wager on it. Ximen Clan leader, since you’re a third party to the fight, will you host this bet?”
A fight between a new black horse and the previous number one genius of the South District could go either way.
“Not a problem!” Ximen Clan leader laughed and stood up before saying, “Everyone, I believe you’ve all witnessed with your own eyes that the Bamboo Forest Fort is the victor. The two quotas to enter the Heavenly Seal Tower tomorrow shall belong to the Bamboo Forest Fort. Apart from that, three days later, an extremely interesting rematch will be held between Ding Badao at his full strength and Ye Mo. An additional bet will be held for the fight. Everyone is welcome to wager.”
The spectators grew excited when they heard the announcement. Something that interesting had never happened in the South District before, and a fight with a bet was even rarer. During the competition last year, Ding Badao had completely dominated all his opponents. Last year’s competition had been rather boring.
Betting on such a competition was pointless. Now that a battle between equals was going to be held, people were excited to place their bets.
Of course, the largest winner from the bet would still be the three largest factions who would be the host of the bet. They would made the most money.
“Sure, if that’s the case, maybe both I and Ding Badao should have a personal wager as well,” Ye Mo said nonchalantly. “How about 5,000 Transcendence Pills? It’s not much.”
“Bring it on.” Estate Master Ding snorted coldly. “Do you think Badao is afraid of you? You’ll regret this bet. Be ready for it.”
The Spirit Sky Residence people left.
Ye Mo slowly walked out of the ring. He hadn’t challenged Ding Badao to a match just so he could show off. He was on the verge of breaking through into the Transcendence Realm. He needed to use intense battles to break through his bottleneck. Weak opponents wouldn’t help, and excessively powerful opponents wouldn’t help either. Ding Badao was perfect.
The people from the Bamboo Forest Fort surrounded Ye Mo.
“Haha.” Xia He roared with laughter as he patted Ye Mo’s shoulder, “Splendidly done. You can defeat even Ding Badao. I think you’re probably confident about that rematch, eh?.”
There was a hidden meaning behind his words. He was trying to figure out how much more Ye Mo was still hiding. But, on his face, he revealed a gratified and proud look.
Ye Mo was definitely a talented individual. Because of that, Xia He wanted to recruit him. It would help greatly for the Bamboo Forest Fort’s future growth.
Fu Qian stepped forward and smiled. “Looks like the name ‘Ye Mo’ shall resound all over the Spirit Seal City South District from now on.”
Ye Mo shrugged helplessly. When he saw Xia Shiyun looking at him appreciatively, he smiled. Fame was nothing for him. Only entering the Heavenly Seal Tower was important.
